Feng Ran found it a bit unbelievable.

How could there be no one?

Where did they all go...?

Finally, half an hour later, they discovered a clue at a kindergarten.

A yard full of bones!

Moreover, they were all separated from the skeleton. The head was the head, the body was the body, and the legs were the legs. There wasn't a single scrap of dried flesh left on the bones, and they were covered with mud and garbage.

Piles of white bones.

That must have been done by someone!

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to pile it up so high, more than two meters tall...

Because the soil had completely dried out, there was no unpleasant odor in the yard. The two men cautiously walked inside, each carrying a pistol.

"Bang!" Suddenly! Something flew straight at the two of them. Luckily, Feng Ran dodged in time, otherwise he would definitely have been met with a huge blow!

"Damn it! Who is it?!"

"careful."

No one came out.

Qi Xie took a few steps forward, pistol in hand, and then quickly fired!

"Bang bang bang!..."

"Come out!" Qi Xie shouted!

"Bang!"

"Say it again, come out!"

"Me! Don't shoot! I...I'll come out."

A thin, small man emerged furtively from the shadows.

"Who are you, and why are you attacking us?"

"I was scared, I didn't mean to hit you," the man said, trembling. He seemed genuinely afraid.

If it weren't for those glowing green eyes with shrunken pupils that betrayed him, Qi Xie would have actually believed it!

"Is there anyone else?" Qi Xie continued to ask, without exposing the person's identity.

No. It's just me! Really.

It seems there's someone else...

"Bang!" A shot hit the man between the eyebrows, swift, accurate, and ruthless.

"careful!"

“Bang, bang, bang!”

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

Feng Ran quickly reloaded his pistol as Qi Xie turned to the enemy. He alternated between the two pistols.

"Ah!...Ah..."

"Bang bang bang!"

"you……"

The two men who attacked them from behind were shot dead. They were as dead as could be.

They weren't sure if anyone else was nearby. They looked around for a while to make sure everything was alright before they felt relieved.

The three dead men all had bluish-black faces and obvious lividity. Many of their teeth had fallen out, and their hair was sparse, some still hairy, others bald.

The person was neither human nor ghost.

"Let's go," Feng Ran said to Qi Xie.

The two walked around the streets again, but still found no one. So they drove around the city center. Finally, they stopped in an alley next to the city hall.

When the two of them came out, they were dressed in tattered clothes and wrapped up tightly.

Afraid of attracting attention.

Finally, I saw people inside the government building. Quite a few.

"Hello, we've just arrived, what should we do?" Feng Ran asked the woman dressed like a bear through the window.

"Stay here?"

"right."

"The first month is free, and in the second month you earn coins based on your work and can exchange them for food."

"Then where shall we stay?"

"Sign first, then get an account. From now on, you can transfer money directly through this account. Log in to this app on your phone. Register an account with your real name. You'll see everything on the app, and any new policies will also be announced through the app."

Earn coins...APP.

Feng Ran scanned the download code. After listening to the woman's instructions, he learned that the location for resettling the citizens was the stadium in the city center.

Water and electricity are provided inside, and the first month is free. From the second month onwards, each person can only receive the same daily allowance, which requires payment. There is also Wi-Fi inside!

As for tasks that earn coins, they are posted daily on the app. You can choose the tasks that suit your needs.

Currently, the main jobs are greenhouse cultivation and acid desalination.

I quickly downloaded the Fengran app and took a look.

There are quite a lot of people. She is the 38,000th person to register.

This government building also has internet access.

"How about we go check out the stadium?"

"No, it's not interesting. Let's go back," Feng Ran replied.

What's so interesting about it? So many people living together.

The two went back and told the other two what had happened. Jixiang didn't react much, and Bai Lian just raised an eyebrow without saying anything.

Starting the next day, Qi and Bai began their day of chopping wood.

Now, not only the little rabbit's room but also the wind-dyed room need to be lit with fire at night.

There's also a living room downstairs.

Every day I roast corn, taro, and potatoes. Days passed, and the temperature remained very low.

It's so inconvenient to go out dressed like a dumpling.

...

Back to the Wang family's side.

The family held out fiercely and finally killed the other thieves who had burned down the cave in the middle of the night.

He was killed on the spot.

They were all just like the three men Feng Ran and the others had seen before.

The women were terrified. They immediately ordered it burned and buried on the spot. Even a glimpse of it was filthy enough to kill!

Even though they were finally able to get a good night's sleep, the group still didn't forget about taking turns keeping watch.

The adults chopped wood or made bullets during the day. The three women, on the other hand, used the limited ingredients to make enough food to survive the extreme cold.

Every now and then, they would sprout some bean sprouts to eat. In this apocalyptic world, many people are already living a life far beyond their reach.

...

In the blink of an eye, there's only a little over a week left before the Lunar New Year.

Everyone has had a very peaceful time. Now that we have some time, we're all planning to celebrate the New Year together.

"Tell me, we need to make a menu for the New Year's Eve dinner. Everyone can tell me what dishes they'd like to eat. Another year of hard work. Let's eat well this year and keep up the good work next year." Feng Ran was almost moved to tears by her own words.
