Chapter 225 The Poor Little Darling in the Apocalypse (Final Chapter)

Three months later, the basic reconstruction of Dongfang City was completed, and the city's power and communications systems returned to normal.

All the survivors stayed in the hospital for three whole months. The hospital was responsible for monitoring their behavior every day to see if there were any abnormalities and checking their bodies for any unusual conditions.

As communications were restored, people gradually started using their phones again, and news of the mysterious disappearances in Dongfang City spread to the outside world.

After confirming the other party's identity, Shen Ci handed over the information he had to the authorities. The information contained a detailed record of the situation since the apocalypse and included many photos, all taken by Da Bao.

During the heatwave, what drastic changes did this city undergo? How many people died because of these changes? What are the stages of zombie mutation? And how do we deal with zombies? This includes overall information, videos, photos, and records.

This information was of great help to the authorities, and the tremendous changes that Dongfang City had undergone were only now becoming known to the outside world, causing an uproar online.

"My God!! I never imagined that while we are enjoying a wonderful life, there is such a place in our country suffering such a disaster, and we know nothing about it and can't offer any help!"

"It's unbelievable that this actually happened; it's like we've been completely blocked out!"

“It’s true. My uncle’s family lives in Dongfang City. In the past few years, we lost contact with them and tried to find them many times, but we just couldn’t. Dongfang City seems to have disappeared.”

“I also have relatives and friends there. All I can say is that losing them was too sudden and heartbreaking.”

"I didn't expect zombies to actually appear. Why did they choose Dongfang City of all places? Why not choose a quieter day?"

"What a cruel twist of fate! How did they manage to survive in temperatures reaching 65 degrees Celsius?"

"I was moved to tears. In such difficult circumstances, there was still someone who recorded and preserved this information. This person is so great. If it weren't for him recording and preserving these things, we might never know what really happened and would still think it was fake."

Life is unpredictable. Now that we have internet access, we are eager to absorb information online. We have been separated from the outside world for too long, and it feels like we are in another world.

What internet memes have they missed over the years? How many games have they not played? How many TV series have they not had time to watch? How many concerts have they not attended?

Who stole a few years from their lives?

The official measures were quite good. After conducting bacterial tests, soil tests, and water tests on the entire city of Dongfang, they determined whether the place was still habitable, and then renovated the memorial to the victims.

Based on the information provided by everyone, the authorities knew that the place contained human remains, and that these humans had turned into zombies. They carried out sterilization treatment again to ensure that the entire place would not be affected before repairing the memorial hall.

This city, which had a population of over 400,000, nearly 500,000, is now home to fewer than 5,000 survivors after such a devastating catastrophe. All the orphans of Dongfang City are here.

When one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides. Countless people donated money to this place. The government allocated housing to each of these thousands of people. Even if they hadn't been allocated housing, these thousands of people could have lived anywhere in the city if they wanted. With more houses than people, the entire city has almost become a ghost town.

Some people want to escape their homeland, go to a place where no one knows them, live a new life, and forget these memories and the harm they brought.

Some people choose to stay here, to be with their deceased relatives.

No matter which choice you make, there's no wrong one.

"Ding-dong!"

Congratulations, host! You have successfully completed the mission in this world and ensured that Shen Dabao survived the apocalypse.

And you brilliantly completed the hidden mission! You saved Dongfang City! The survivors are grateful to you, and so are the dead.

Because it included a hidden quest, the system did not provide a rescue value prompt during the quest. The rescue value has now been met.

Villain's Salvation Value: 100%!

This mission is rated as SSS-level!

Mission Rewards: Supernatural Planting Space, Panacea (can cure any disease once).

Rewards! Space! And a cure-all recovery potion!

Shen Ci was overjoyed! The reward this time was actually a supernatural space!

"System, does 'planting space' mean I can grow things in this special ability space? Does it have any other uses?"

This reward goes beyond ordinary money, wealth, and status; it's practically a superpower—it grants you a spatial ability, a standard feature for protagonists in novels.

"Yes, the space has a preservation function, and planting and breeding can be carried out in this space, which is equivalent to a farm. The water source in it has a very good beneficial effect on various aspects of the body, and the plants and animals growing in it also have positive effects."

People can also enter the space.

The restorative agent can repair any part of the body, whether it's an injury or an illness, even a terminal one. After use, it can restore the body to its original, peak condition. It's like the kind of miraculous cure you're talking about.

The system explained that these two items were truly priceless! And like the previous rewards, they could be taken to the original world and were hers alone!

"Okay, I understand. Keep it safe for now, and give it to me when I get back."

In this world, I still choose to stay with my child until the very end, to walk through this lifetime together.

Shen Ci said, calming her excited emotions. In the process of going to each world to take care of each child, she felt more and more that she should experience life instead of leaving after hastily completing her mission.

After briefly redeeming them, leaving again so quickly would only inflict another heavy blow on these already pitiful children.

After they finally received and felt love, their mother suddenly and unexpectedly disappeared, dead. They didn't know that she was just a time traveler on a mission.

They thought they had found love, but at their happiest moment, that love vanished.

This is too cruel. I can't bear to mistreat a child I've raised for so long.

After choosing to stay and the world returned to normal, Shen Ci, who was not short of money, happily raised her child. Da Bao, like millions of other normal children, went to school and lived a normal life.

His dream was to become a politician, but after these past few years, he realized that only by standing in a higher position could he help more people.

For their contributions during this catastrophe, Shen Ci and Da Bao were awarded medals by the authorities. However, Shen Ci did not want to enter politics and instead focused on raising her child.

They feel the world, experience the world, and believe that those who survive great calamities are destined for good fortune. The world becomes more vivid and precious in their eyes, and the changing seasons become inexplicably moving.

Fortunately, we still have the opportunity to experience the changing seasons, which makes us realize how fortunate we are to be alive.
