(Extreme heat + vegetation death + virus outbreak + hail + earthquake + mutated marine life + extreme cold + torrential rain + thousands of miles of iceċ°...)
No zombies. Feng Ran unexpected...
I finally beat everyone and became mayor.
However, this happened in the apocalypse. Isn't that ridiculous? But there's nothing we can do about it.
The mayor is always the most useful position, but I was thinking about it too early.
In the apocalypse, it's really not very useful. Even though my wife is pregnant, she doesn't get much care, which makes me very frustrated.
The daily chores at the base were driving me crazy, and just then, my wife became pregnant and was about to give birth.
When I'm working outside, I often get distracted thinking about my wife's current situation.
There was nothing we could do about it, because the current medical environment is so poor, and this child came at a really bad time.
Fortunately, my mother-in-law was taking care of me, which put my mind at ease. I tried my best to handle everything quickly each day and then go home.
Because the base is really chaotic right now. Although there are people guarding and managing it from the outside, petty theft still happens frequently.
It's such a trivial matter, yet it bothers me every day. It's really annoying.
But there's no way around it, these are things I have to deal with. I got this position with great difficulty, and I can't give it up easily. Besides, I always think, what if the apocalypse ends? Then I might get promoted to mayor if I manage things well now.
My worries were not unfounded. If it weren't for a mysterious person giving me medicine when my wife was giving birth, she might not be here now.
At that time, what use was the mayor's position to me? I realized that a high position was only for people I wanted to take care of. My wife and children were gone, so what was the point of being a mayor? But thankfully, in the end, my wife and children were saved.
However, the stable days did not last long before another earthquake struck, which made the already impoverished situation at the base even worse.
What's even more disheartening is that documents have been passed down from above that they no longer care about the fate of our base. Given this situation, there's really no need for this mayor to continue serving, and I can't continue serving either.
Moreover, when I was patrolling the base yesterday, I inadvertently saw some people staring furtively at the surviving children in the base, revealing some lewd and even disgusting looks. I knew then that this matter was definitely not simple.
The earthquake had just ended, and everyone was starving. I couldn't risk my family's lives; I couldn't fight against so many others, especially since there were so many other hands at the base.
So late at night, I discussed with my family and we decided to sneak away under the cover of darkness, because I have a child.
Newborn babies are extremely attractive to these animals.
Fortunately, our family fled for a whole night and finally reached the foot of the mountain. We eventually escaped back up the mountain and were taken in by a kind family.
I sensed the wariness of the other family, so after the child settled down, we decided to build a house outside the cave to live in.
The Wang family is truly kind-hearted; they've been ignored, yet they still have this conscience towards them.
If it weren't for the milk powder and medicine they provided, our daughter might have died, so I am very grateful to Wang Jia.
If others had helped me before the apocalypse, I could have used my position to do something in return. But now everyone is on the run, and to them I'm just an ordinary person.
So I was thinking that I must seek revenge on this family in the future, especially since they saved my daughter's life.
Luckily, I actually gained divine power in the apocalypse.
It's truly amazing power. I tried holding a stone in my hand, and it could be crushed into powdery fragments.
This divine power allows me to thrive in the apocalypse, and also enables me to better protect my wife, children, and mother-in-law.
Because of this divine power, the Wang family valued me more, and I was able to live with them and rely on each other. After all, this kind of malevolent energy was also a double layer of protection for them.
I acquiesced to this approach because I felt much more at ease knowing they were there to take care of my wife and children when I was away working or doing other things.
We are all very happy with this model of mutual help and support.
Later, I finally met Feng Ran, the person the Wang family had mentioned.
I thought she was a big, burly woman, but it turned out to be a delicate and frail young girl.
They initially thought the Wang family had exaggerated his abilities, but through continued interaction, they discovered that Feng Ran's abilities were extraordinary, reaching a level they could never attain.
Moreover, being able to provide them with a lot of supplies in the apocalypse makes them an absolute god.
I once again proved my abilities with my divine power, which led to Feng Ran taking me under her command. Her newly built base also included my family, allowing us to be protected.
I achieved my goal, and of course, I'm not an opportunist.
I will do my best to work hard so that people will feel that protecting my family is a very worthwhile investment.
With the completion of the new base, everyone is working hard and brainstorming ideas for the future.
Despite the series of dangers that followed, everyone lived together, helped each other, and truly survived the ordeal of the apocalypse.
My daughter also grew up gradually in this safe environment.
Later, we returned to the foot of the mountain and started farming together. Everyone ended the base lifestyle and started living in their own houses, but we would occasionally get together to eat and chat.
People in each other's families lend a hand when someone is in trouble.
...
I am very happy today because my daughter, Gu Ping'an, has been admitted to a school founded by a research institute in Shanghai.
This is a demonstration of ability.
But she wants to stay in Shanghai to study, and I'm really reluctant to let her go.
But seeing that Feng Ran's two children were able to stay, I could only agree verbally, saying "okay, okay," but in my heart I really wanted to stay with the children, even if it meant renting a place with my wife nearby and accompanying the children to school.
Fengran and I went back to get the kids' luggage. When we came back, Fengran had already taken care of everything. She had even arranged for the three of them to share a room and had told the dormitory management not to let any other students in!
I wondered to myself why I hadn't thought of this arrangement.
A few days later, Fengran came to me again and asked if we should get a house near where the child goes to school, so that we could stay there for a while to see the child or go sightseeing.
God knows how excited I was when I heard Feng Ran's suggestion.
How come I didn't think of that again? This is absolutely a brilliant solution! That way, if I miss my daughter, I can just go and stay with her for a while.
I readily agreed.
At the same time, I was thinking to myself, she is indeed smarter than me...
