We offer our condolences to the families of those who died in the previous war.

Furthermore, each family was given a good place in terms of food and even land allocation.

They also promised that since everyone's conditions are very poor now, they would be compensated in other ways when conditions improve in the future.

The leader's son's words were so moving that everyone had no choice but to accept them, because if they didn't accept them, things would still be the same.

They can't just rashly join other bases. To be honest, it's not as good as the two races living together as one, which is safer and more reliable.

Days passed by. Life got better and better.

At least thanks to the large areas of farmland, people's food sources gradually became more abundant.

They no longer seem to be barely eating anything each day like they did when they first arrived.

They also collected a lot of medicinal herbs under the guidance of the clan doctor and traded them with other bases for chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and cattle.

...

"What? Candied winter melon?"

Gu Zhou's mother-in-law asked, puzzled.

"I know this. I've seen the video before, but it was about making winter melon milk tea. It looks delicious."

Wang Lili excitedly chatted with the others.

"Yes! I used to order winter melon milk tea for delivery all the time. It really is delicious."

So I thought we could all make some candied winter melon together. We have plenty of winter melons anyway.

"Do you all have time to help out? We'll give each of you five pounds of sugar to take home."

"Sure! I'll be the first to sign up! I'll ask Qi Xie for some goat milk to make milk tea!"

"We'll make some taro balls and stuff then."

"Alright, alright! Let's get to work tomorrow! I can't wait."

"Okay. Everyone can come to my house around 9 a.m. tomorrow to make it."

"good!"

...

Feng Ran threw out a huge pile of winter melons early in the morning.

Three large iron pots were also set up in the yard.

He also took out a lot of white sugar from his spatial storage.

That's about all.

First, peel and cut the winter melon into chunks, then put it in an iron pot and cook it with white sugar.

It was simmered from morning until afternoon, until it turned red and thickened, and the winter melon pieces were completely mushy.

Then pour the thick winter melon syrup into a clean container.

Feng Ran is never one to mistreat himself or others.

He immediately went back to the kitchen and brought over a large basin of milk.

It's still the pure milk I stockpiled before the apocalypse, and I still have a lot of it.

She tossed the packaging into the kitchen. The milk was poured into a large steamer.

Take it out and pour it back into the original pot of boiling syrup.

There was a little syrup in the pot, but after mixing it in and stirring it again, it boiled.

I asked them, and they said if they don't like it sweet, they'll serve it out first. If they do like it sweet, they'll add a few more spoonfuls of syrup, cook it again, and then drink it.

"Tsk~ Perfect!"

"Yes! It's delicious," Wang Aiying added.

"It really tastes good. If I could have a cup of this every day, it would be so comfortable to get through the winter."

"Who says otherwise! Oh, right. It's a promise, Sister Fengran, you can't shortchange me on every single pound!"

"Alright! It definitely won't be less!"

"Hahaha……"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Everyone burst into laughter.

A few years after the apocalypse, she was very content to be able to drink winter melon milk tea again.

Seeing everyone laughing so happily made me very happy too.

This time, I gave away thirty catties of winter melon candy. I kept about one hundred catties for myself. That's enough to drink for a long time.

Spring has come and gone, and Wang Nana has a son now.

Wang Lili also became pregnant at this time.

Because of her previous experience, Wang Lili, who is now pregnant, is being extremely careful and will definitely not go to any dangerous places.

At the same time, Wang Lanying became pregnant again.

Feng Ran couldn't help but sigh to herself, "It's so wonderful to be able to get pregnant with twins at once. I don't need to get pregnant a second time."

And they don't intend to ask for it anymore.

The two, who had just finished, embraced each other and lay on the bed looking at the open-air starry sky on the roof.

Once the weather warmed up, they directly converted the roof into a skylight.

In the countryside, the night sky is filled with stars.

They had witnessed many similar starry skies together, but each time they faced them, it was a different kind of beauty.

At the same time, two people in another room were sweating profusely.

The food was so delicious that neither of them wanted to stop eating.

Everyone has their own ideas.

Under a sky full of stars, some people are lonely.

Some people have someone to rely on.

Some people, however, are constantly busy.

However, everyone's life is colorful.

After pain comes joy.

Across the country, in addition to the various bases where influence has already been established.

There are also some scattered people, in twos and threes, or people from a village who haven't all died, or relatives and friends from a city who are still alive, who have now collectively migrated to the countryside, especially to rural areas with land.

With the monsters gone, the giant rats gone, the giant cockroaches gone... and with all other threats to human survival gone, people finally began to slowly resume production.

In addition to the population plummeting to less than 1/10.

I believe other aspects will gradually recover as well.

Every step humanity takes is moving in a positive direction.

Another year passed, and the network coverage across the country was basically complete, except for relatively remote or mountainous areas.

In particular, communication between each base has been strengthened, and a truce agreement has been signed.

The agreement explicitly states that the administrators of each city and each base must not wage war or engage in threatening actions such as burning, killing, looting, or pillaging against other bases.

The bases also placed orders with each other, and various barter models were formed one after another.

There is no currency. We can only, and no longer endorse, the method of purchasing with currency.

Moreover, with the development of agriculture, animal husbandry has also developed.

Moreover, the industrial sector recovered relatively quickly because many researchers survived.

Restoring something from a damaged foundation is relatively straightforward.

Gradually, supermarkets began to appear in the base.

Vacuum-packed foods, snacks, beverages, and fast food will appear.

The canteens in the base were also closed one after another, and the household contract responsibility system was formed, with each household having its own house and its own land.

However, the only condition is that you must obey the base's arrangements and pay the corresponding taxes every month, including food or other necessities such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

The corresponding bases will also provide security protection for these people. They patrol day and night and have established a security department similar to the police force in pre-apocalyptic times.

Gradually, bicycles appeared on the roads first, then electric bikes, and later tractors, motorcycles, cars, and so on.

The development of transportation has gone from initial difficulties to increasingly smooth progress.

On another level, it further illustrates the revival and progress of science and technology.
