If the video could receive sound, then you would definitely hear the 'crunching' sound of bones breaking.

Sensing the feeling of being watched, though He had grown accustomed to human behavior these days, the thought that She might see Him made Him eat much more gracefully and slowly.

The baby burrowed inside its father's body. It didn't like eating fish and tried to imitate its father's attack methods. However, when its body stretched out, it could only cover the whale's eyes, which were about the size of a small watermelon.

Under the attack of the cub, the eyeball will turn into a pool of murky water, which will slowly flow onto the sea surface.

"Why not eat it?"

"It smells too bad, Mom doesn't like it."

The black mist rapidly dispersed, revealing a still-decomposed fleshy skeleton that crashed onto the seabed.

"Does Daddy smell bad now?"

"......Smelly."

Coincidentally, as the black fog moved from the ground to space, it passed right through the monitoring satellite. The screen went from black to being interfered with, and then back to normal, leaving the monitoring room almost completely silent.

After a long pause, the command captain finally found his voice: "So, in addition to its activity on the Earth's surface, the black mist can also survive in space."

"If it doesn't need oxygen and can move freely, then what is the force propelling it? Floating? Electron charge?"

Why launch a preemptive attack?

Everyone brainstormed, and some guessed the true reason why the black mist hated the mutated whales, but the purpose of this operation was something no one could imagine.

Would a monster seek revenge for a human of the opposite sex?

If someone were to tell them this, they would definitely be accused of being love-struck or addicted to romance novels.

Jiang Shuyin saw this latest news at the dinner table. Experts released a series of conjectures, and the carcass of the mutated whale in the sea was also retrieved and sent for dissection and research.

Armed forces arrived in time to defend and blockade the coast, but the coastal residents still couldn't help but retreat hundreds of miles inland.

As a result, several hundred more households moved into Anshi. The city was already facing a food deficit and was in dire need of food. Jiang Jianli was tasked with encouraging the unemployed to cultivate and reclaim wasteland and then distributing the land.

"Keep enough for your own consumption, and sell the rest to the grain station. What do you think?" Jiang Jianli was somewhat tempted.

If you trace your family back three generations, you'll find that everyone started out as peasants. Jiang Jianli even farmed for two years when he was a child, and the thought of having land to farm made him very eager to do so.

Zheng Lanxiang rolled her eyes: "I'm not planting. If you do, will we still live here?"

Jiang Jianli: "I requested to be assigned to the suburbs, where it's only an hour's drive home. I'll do the farming then. It's just that I'll be transferred from the logistics department and won't be able to take care of our daughter anymore."

Jiang Shuyin was taken aback for a moment: "I'm not a child. I can just go farm with you. I reckon that grain will be a real problem in the future."

Jiang Jianli laughed heartily and gave her a thumbs up.

Zheng Lanxiang pursed her lips.

As they continued into the residential area with Cui Yang, Jiang Shuyin couldn't help but glance at the building, hoping to bump into Xie Yin.

We've managed to get another unit of people coming down.

Cui Yang walked ahead of her, doing a few chest-expanding exercises to loosen his muscles, and started chatting: "Jiang Shuyin, do you have a boyfriend?"

Jiang Shuyin was about to speak when she suddenly stopped, her eyes widening.

Cui Yang looked bewildered: "What?"

"Yes." Jiang Shuyin frowned; she hadn't contacted Guan in a long time.

Cui Yang clearly didn't believe it: "I haven't seen you text anyone. You're with me every day but I never see you. What kind of relationship are you in?"

Yes, is it even necessary?

She glanced at the building again; there was another building in between, and she could only see a sliver of its corner, but she could clearly see the window.

The clothes rack was completely empty and spotless.

Then she thought about her boyfriend, who was only in name, and a nameless restlessness crept into her heart.

"You're not just making this up to fool me, are you?" Cui Yang leaned closer.

Jiang Shuyin raised an eyebrow: "Shut up, Unit Two, continue."

Cui Yang felt his body being controlled by a force, and he wanted to obey Jiang Shuyin's words unconditionally. His body moved faster than his mind, and he quickly entered the darkness of Unit Two.

Jiang Shu smiled, her brows furrowing. "I'll deal with it later. Let's finish the work at hand first. There are only two more buildings left to go."

After completing the survey of the two residential areas of the steel pipe factory at 3 p.m., Jiang Shuyin did not go back to hand in the task in advance, but found a coffee shop with Cui Yang and sat down.

Cui Yang ordered a milk coffee: "Finally, I can sit down and enjoy life. Stop staring at your phone all the time and chat with me for a while."

"Shut up." Jiang Shuyin was annoyed by him.

Her fingers typed on the keyboard, then undoed, then edited again—she was putting all that effort into writing a breakup essay into her ramblings, the same kind of writing she put into making things up in a novel.

After thinking about it, I decided to delete the large section of memories that followed.

Shangguan: I've come to understand what you mean these past few days. Let's break up.

This time, after a long wait, I sipped my black coffee slowly, and after drinking half a cup, I received a long-awaited message.

Official: Okay, I'm sorry.

Shangguan: But there's something I don't understand, why?

The other person's input flashed three or four times.

Official: We're not a good match, but I'd love to get to know you.

Jiang Shuyin seemed to understand, yet she also seemed to understand nothing. She was confused, but it would be impolite to ask any further questions.

She changed her nickname.

YIN: Please keep your money safe, and thank you again.

[Please check your account after the transfer]

The maximum amount of cash she could handle per day was 200,000 yuan. For the rest, she simply sent him her bank card number and password.

Official: No need, the money will soon be worthless.

That strange feeling came back. What did he know?

I picked up my coffee, took another sip, and then it was empty...

Jiang Shuyin looked up and saw that Cui Yang was engrossed in his game and hadn't noticed her, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the new drinks in the coffee shop, she packed five cups to take home, spending over three hundred yuan, earning a surprised look from Cui Yang:

"What kind of family is this, spending money so extravagantly? That's three days' wages! You girls are too wasteful, spending money like that. You should think about the future, don't..."

"Stop." Jiang Shu curled her lips slightly: "Why are you more long-winded than my mother? It's not like I'm spending your family's money."

Since the money would soon be useless anyway, she quickly stocked up on some of her favorite foods and drinks at home, hoping she wouldn't have to do missions with that guy anymore.

They didn't want to share coffee, so they left their things in Cui Yang's car. After they finished their task, the officer told them to go back and rest for a day while they waited for further instructions.

When I get home, I put the coffee in the refrigerator to chill, wash my hands, and then I can eat. Is this still the end of the world?

Jiang Shuyin hesitated for a moment, then quickly realized that everyone was being protected too well. This kind of comfort was like a dangerous building high in the sky; even a small gust of wind could destroy it all.

I slowed down while eating the second bowl of rice, but my thinking speed increased.

Perhaps the truly terrifying thing in the apocalypse is not the monsters, but the human heart. Therefore, maintaining social stability is crucial to prevent people's hearts from being led astray and turning into humanoid monsters.
