The apocalypse arrived, but there were no zombies. Only unpredictable extreme weather and daily squabbles forced humans to survive on instinct alone to avoid being eliminated.
Yun Qi struggle...
The two talked for a while longer. Since they both had to work the next day, they agreed to meet again on the weekend so they could make detailed plans then.
After delivering Si Cheng, Yun Qi went back into his spatial dimension.
I was in a hurry to go out before I looked closely, but I did find that the plants were ready to be harvested.
Upon entering the space, I discovered that even the corn was ripe. The cabbages hadn't withered either, which was truly amazing! Because of daily training, I was so exhausted after training that I couldn't even lift my arms when I got home, so I hadn't been here for a week. I didn't expect time to flow so quickly in the space, and I also found that I didn't need to water them; the soil maintained the same moisture level, and they remained fresh even without being harvested.
We should buy some other seeds and try them out; maybe we'll get some other surprises?
Oh right, and fruit too. We should buy some fruit trees to try, so we won't run out of fruit. Although you sometimes encounter fruit trees in the apocalypse, they're almost always owned. Locals usually manage them collectively; you only get to pick up a few leftover fruits after the harvest.
After harvesting all the crops, the yield was decent. Yunqi had experience with farming before and knew this was better than what he could get in other fields, but it wasn't an exaggeratedly large harvest. Yunqi was so tired he could barely lift his arms.
I'm worried that since people can't get in, I wonder if animals can? I'll go to the market tomorrow and find some small animals to try.
The next day, when Yunqi was jogging, he passed by the market and bought a few small fish and crayfish. He also bought two chicks since they were selling them.
Back home, she brought all the small animals into her spatial dimension and found that they could actually fit inside. She first put the chicks inside, then came out and brought in a tub filled with water to keep the small fish in, so she could observe whether the animals could survive there.
After packing my things, I went to work. As soon as I entered the office, Hehe came over.
"Xiao Qi, the stock you bought actually went up a bit today. You're really lucky."
"Why don't you follow suit? I'm very optimistic about it."
"I won't buy it yet. The one I bought now is also going up. I'll wait and see."
"It's almost the end of the year, how much do you think the year-end bonus will be this year?" Li Mingli came over at this moment.
Li Mingli works in the finance department and is a well-liked colleague in the company. They occasionally gossip together, and she is known as a kind-hearted person in the company. She is always willing to lend a hand to anyone in trouble or who needs anything.
"I really didn't know. Didn't any of you receive any news?"
"I'll definitely let you know if I have any firsthand information. I hope we can give out more bonuses this year, because money is needed everywhere these days."
"Who can argue with that?"
Yunqi remained silent on the side, because she knew that this year's bonus was twice as much as in previous years, but she couldn't say it and could only secretly rejoice in her heart.
This is also one of the reasons why Yunqi insists on going to work. The company's benefits are indeed quite good, and most importantly, there is no backstabbing or infighting. She wants to spend this leisurely time in peace and tranquility, and in the years to come, she can only rely on memories to miss this peaceful and prosperous era.
Fortunately, this apocalypse wasn't like the ones depicted in novels or on TV, filled with zombies and aliens. Otherwise, humanity wouldn't know how to survive. However, because China is so vast, transportation was completely disrupted, and various disasters continued to occur in different regions. Even if the government wanted to provide relief, it couldn't; it could only maintain order in various places. Because of order and laws, extraordinary measures were used in extraordinary times, which allowed Yunqi to survive in the apocalypse for ten years. Otherwise, given the ugliness of human nature and her personality, she would only have been cannon fodder.
