Ever since her body shrank after traveling through time, Xia Runrun suddenly felt that all the malice in the world was pouring towards her.

Less than a week after moving into the underground shelter, a noticeable crack appeared in the commercial building, and it looked like it would collapse in the next second.

The little girl's eyes were lifeless, staring like dead fish eyes.

This sad feeling is almost the same as being forced by Xiaobai to read elementary school textbooks.

She had lived in this shelter for three years, but she didn't expect it to collapse after just a few days. Xia Runrun felt ashamed to face the survivors around her.

Thinking about all the things that had happened since she came into this world, the little girl felt more and more guilty, and even her expression became a little uncomfortable.

But before Xia Ruanruan could think about it in a metaphysical way, Huang Haichao was already stroking his chin and sighing, "Tsk! I knew this building would collapse in the future. I didn't expect it to have lasted this long. I wonder which engineering team did this, the quality is quite good."

Huang Haichao's nonchalant appearance was out of place among the panicked crowd around him.

Xia Runrun raised her little head and subconsciously looked at Huang Haichao with a puzzled look on her face.

"What are you talking about, kid? Why don't you hurry up and go back to the shelter with everyone to pack up your things? Do you want to sleep in the snow tonight?" Yang Fan slapped Huang Haichao on the head and said unhappily.

"Brother Yang, why did you hit me for no reason? I didn't say anything wrong."

Huang Haichao rubbed the back of his head, where he'd been hit, and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Building collapses like this happen almost every year. It's already a struggle for our shelter to hold up this long. Look at how big that tree on the roof has grown in recent years! It's practically taller than the house itself. Wouldn't it have crushed it?"

After the HCP virus outbreak, human cities worldwide suffered the most severe damage due to changes in flora and fauna. The mutated animals attacking humans is secondary. By increasing weapons production and manpower output, reclaiming the entire land is not impossible.

But……

These plant mutations were completely uncontrollable. Weeds that once measured no more than 20 centimeters tall now grew to several meters in height. Ordinary city trees soared to hundreds of meters in height, their branches and leaves blotting out the sun, their robust root systems destroying the original streets.

Circuit systems, water systems, urban underground sewage pipes...

There are so many cases where a small seed, perhaps brought by a passing bird, can bring down an entire building.

Such a city is simply uninhabitable. There is no water supply, no electricity, and even urban sewage disposal is impossible. Transportation, schools, hospitals, government, and garbage stations are paralyzed because of these problems and are completely unable to function. The original cities have become ruins one by one.

"Sigh... I don't know how these mutant plants can grow so fast. We can't even cut them down... We just cut off a branch today, and tomorrow after the spring rain, the whole tree will grow a lot more... If the commercial building of the shelter can hold up for three years, it's good."

Someone heard Huang Haichao's sigh, leaned over to look at the tree on the roof, shook their head, and went back to the shelter to collect supplies. "This commercial building has cracked so big overnight. It's obvious that the tree must have grown a lot last night..."

Xia Ruanruan: "..."

Xia Runrun looked at the people around her in confusion. Although they were heartbroken, they seemed to be used to it. She fell into deep thought for a long time.

really……

She is not a native of this world, and even though she has learned a lot about this world these days, she still knows very little about many things.

The news that the commercial building had problems and might collapse within a few days naturally spread throughout the Star Sea Shelter.

At the same time, the mutant dogs who had rested in the commercial building last night, as well as Wu Wenhua and others, also came out of the building and looked at the deep crack in the floor.

Xia Ruanruan glanced at these people without saying a word. She stretched out her small hand to tug at Yang Fan's trouser leg and said with a little concern: "Uncle Yang, we can't live here in the shelter anymore... Then where will we live in the future?"

The cracks in the building happened so suddenly that Xia Runrun was a little worried that she would have to sleep on the street tonight.

But if she were asked to sleep with Dahei and the others under the cracked building, the little girl was a little worried that the building would collapse directly, and the broken bricks and stones would crash down on her head and turn into meat paste.

"Haha...what are you worried about, little girl? Don't worry, once everyone has packed up their things, we can find a place to stay today. There isn't much else in Xingyue City, and there are abandoned houses and underground parking lots everywhere."

Yang Fan stroked the little girl's soft curly hair and comforted her, "Uncle Yang and the other uncles have found many good places to live over the years. I'll go over and check them out and decide where to move."

This kind of house cracking and collapse often happens, so Yang Fan looks for three or four alternative residential areas every year and takes a walk around from time to time to prevent this situation from happening suddenly. However, it is not easy to find a good place that is unoccupied, and it requires a lot of effort and careful search.

But there was no need to explain these words to the little girl. After talking to Xia Runrun, Yang Fan didn't plan to waste any more time and thought about going back to the shelter to help clean up.

In addition to each household's personal belongings, the shelter also has a lot of public facilities, such as generators, TV canteens, large iron pots, etc. There is a lot to do.

Yang Fan thought to himself that maybe they should move to the abandoned hospital parking lot 5 kilometers away from the shelter. The place was pretty good, but there lived a group of mutant carrion crows, nearly a thousand in total, and ordinary people would definitely not dare to get close.

But this time, they have more than 80 mutant dogs in their shelter, so it should be relatively easy to take over the hospital parking lot.

Yang Fan subconsciously looked at the group of stray dogs that were getting along with Dahei, and the group of more than 40 dogs standing not far away, led by another wolfdog named Lightning, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up slightly.

"Hey hey... Mr. Yang, please wait a moment... Have you decided where you want to move to?"

Yang Fan had just taken two steps when a slightly flattering voice suddenly came from behind him, followed by Wu Wenhua's fawning smile.

“…”

Suddenly startled by that big face, Yang Fan subconsciously took two steps back, looked at the other person with vigilance, and said seriously: "Why are you asking this?"

"Hehe, hehe... Mr. Yang, what can I do? I just thought of a good place that I think is suitable for us!"

Although he was calling her Mr. Yang, Wu Wenhua's slightly flattering eyes were fixed on Xia Ruanruan without blinking. He rubbed his hands and said cheerfully, "Mr. Yang, Miss Xia, do you know that there is a school in the southeast of the city called the Southeast Campus of Xingyue University?"

"Xingyue University covers a vast area. Not only does it have a lake for fishing, but it also has greenhouses built by the Agricultural College!"

"The most important thing is! There's an indoor stadium at the university. It's a massive indoor stadium that was previously chosen as one of the venues for the World Games! If we relocate the shelter to Crescent University's southeast campus... not only can all of these mutant dogs live there, but even if we doubled their number, there wouldn't be any problem at all!"

"Really?!"

Hearing that the house could accommodate all the mutant dogs, Xia Runrun looked at Wu Wenhua with sparkling eyes.

Even though the stray dogs usually lived in the caves near the pine forest, Dahei chose to live with her. This wasn't because the stray dogs were reluctant to leave the caves, but because they all knew that the Xinghai Shelter couldn't find any shelter for them.

If there was a large indoor stadium like this, she wouldn't have to worry about where they would live!

The little girl's eyes sparkled, and she subconsciously looked up at Yang Fan. The person in front of her was still the one who had the final say in the Star Sea Shelter.

Yang Fan rubbed his forehead with a headache, and glared at Wu Wenhua with an unpleasant look on his face, "Do you want us to die?!"

"Not to mention that Xingyue University doesn't have a large underground parking lot and no heating equipment. It's impossible to maintain the indoor temperature when the temperature drops sharply in winter, making it completely unsuitable for us to live in... Take this place for example. Who in the entire Xingyue City doesn't know that it has been occupied by a group of black and white bears?" Yang Fan gritted his teeth as he spoke, staring at Wu Wenhua with cold eyes.

This guy has been reduced to a prisoner, and he's still trying to play tricks on him? It seems he was too kind not to beat him up last night to vent his anger.

Seeing that Yang Fan's eyes were getting colder and colder, the light in the eyes of the little boss he had taken a fancy to dimmed little by little.

"That's not true! Miss Xia, don't listen to this guy Yang! What's the big deal about there being no underground parking lot and no heating? My brother is a designer. Once we get to the campus, he can instantly build a heating system in two days!"

Wu Wenhua quickly shook his head in denial. He was paying his respects to the boss, so how could this guy so easily sabotage him? To prevent the younger boss from having a bad first impression of him, Wu Wenhua tried his best to explain and recommend him.

"It doesn't matter if we don't have electric heating. These days, it's incredibly easy to collect wood from mutated plants. Building a kang or an indoor stove isn't a simple matter. We guarantee everyone won't freeze."

"You could remove the chairs around the indoor gymnasium, cover it with thick blankets, and build a few fireplaces. Wouldn't sleeping there be much better than in this drafty commercial building? Even Mr. Dog and Mr. Cat would sleep comfortably there. Don't you agree?"

"Don't try to deceive others here, kid."

Yang Fan slapped Wu Wenhua on the head and said with a cold look, "You've been talking for a long time, but you haven't mentioned what to do with those black and white bears. Who doesn't know about heating things like kangs and stoves? But the black and white bears are so powerful, if we go there, we're clearly seeking death!"

Black and white bears are a species of bear that favors bamboo. They appear soft but possess exceptionally strong fighting power. Facing ordinary mutant dogs, an adult black and white bear would easily defeat even a hundred, let alone ten. Furthermore, this group of bears is said to number nearly a hundred. If they were to go in this time, wouldn't they be just throwing food at the door?
