Chapter 108 Ordinary people and those in positions of power have no worries about food and clothing



Le Wu left the space and went to the hydroponic room on the second floor. The lush vegetables made Le Wu feel embarrassed.

Each one was one to two times larger than a regular vegetable, and thankfully, they were constantly nourished by the spiritual spring water, which prevented them from aging.

Lewu immediately picked all the vegetables and put them in baskets and on the cart.

Immediately afterwards, Yuewu started planting new vegetables: scallions, green onions, garlic, cabbage, bok choy, broccoli, lettuce, Shanghai bok choy, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, green beans, etc., filling the entire area.

Then Yuewu, with two baskets hanging from one arm and a cart pushed by the other, slowly made her way to the villa complex.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of Zone 2, several older women were already waiting for me.

"Oh my, Yuewu, why did you bring so many dishes? Next time you call us, quickly put them on the ground first."

"Yeah, their arms are all red from being bound."

"Look how well these vegetables are growing. Lewu is a girl who knows how to grow vegetables. They grow better than the ones in our rural fields."

"Yes, they're so juicy and big! Look at these cherry tomatoes, they're almost as big as tomatoes!"

Le Wu covered her face, thinking to herself that it wouldn't be this big next time; it was too scary.

As soon as the door opened, the older women started helping to get the vegetables. Their voices and laughter filled the air, and everyone was incredibly happy.

For women, these vegetables and fruits can give them endless things to talk about.

The music and dance performances didn't follow; Sister Zhang and Sister Du would handle the arrangements.

As for the newly joined troops under Commander Li, they saw the green vegetables from afar and couldn't help but feel envious. It had been so many days since they had eaten such fresh vegetables that they had almost forgotten.

But when they learned that all the residents of the villa area had it, they were overjoyed.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, they went to Sister Zhang and the others to ask, "Can we newcomers get some too?"

"Of course, you are all on our side, everyone will get a share, and there will be more distributions from time to time in the future."

What a convenient "unpredictable time"! Yuewu felt that Sister Zhang was calling her out.

Once the answer was confirmed, everyone went to inform the others to collect their food.

Some children excitedly ran to Commander Li's house, saying, "Grandpa Li, hurry up, we're picking up vegetables outside! There are tomatoes and cucumbers too, lots and lots of green vegetables!"

Commander Li was a little confused at first. "A novice?"

Are there still green vegetables at this time of year?

Someone had just brought him a bag of potatoes and a bag of sweet potatoes, which already made him feel very satisfied. Now there are even some green vegetables.

Commander Li immediately stood up, took the child's hand, and went out.

There were indeed a lot of people standing in the square. You couldn't see anything, but you could tell that everyone was having a great time, and the laughter never stopped.

Upon closer inspection, Commander Li could see that the ground was indeed covered with vegetables—red, white, and green—a truly delightful sight.

Sister Zhang and Sister Du were busy dividing the food into portions, trying their best to ensure everyone could have a taste.

Everyone's expectations were raised very high, even Commander Li kept a close eye on it.

In the end, everyone gets a portion of each type of dish. If there isn't enough, for example, cucumbers, then it's divided in half.

Sister Zhang and the others didn't expect that the moment the cucumber was broken open, a refreshing aroma would immediately fill their nostrils, awakening everyone's taste buds, and they could hardly contain themselves.

The distribution finally began, and many people chose to try the cucumbers and cherry tomatoes as soon as they received them.

The result was that the taste was even better than expected. People like Big Beard and Commander Li even wondered if they could eat this.

This fruit should only exist in heaven; how often can one taste it on earth?

The key is that these people haven't eaten vegetables for a long time, let alone been in contact with the spiritual spring water, so their feelings are particularly obvious.

The residents of the villa complex already know the taste of the vegetables—in a word, "fresh"—so they always look forward to them.

Actually, my older sister and her family used to grow vegetables in the villa's courtyard, but they all died after experiencing extreme cold and heat.

Adding to the disaster caused by the thunderstorm, all the plants on the ground withered and turned yellow. From a distance, Moyu Mountain looked like a barren mountain, with only tree trunks without leaves standing.

So if you want to eat vegetables, you can only wait for the music and dance to deliver them, making each serving of vegetables even more precious.

Every household prepares delicious food in the evening, including rice and hand-pulled noodles, with wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys and the aroma of food filling the air.

Le Wu voluntarily came to Xiao Qiao's house for a free meal.

Because Xiao Qiao used to bring her food every day, Yue Wu felt really bad about it.

So they agreed that she would come over to eat every time the food was delivered, and Xiao Qiao would put extra effort into preparing this dinner.

Yuewu almost couldn't walk back; she was so full that even breathing was difficult.

Of course, this made Xiao Qiao very satisfied, as it made her feel that she was still useful in music and dance.

Back in the tunnel, Yuewu went to the space and asked the little squirrel Susu to accompany her for a walk.

It's really not good to not move around, but thankfully the little guy is there to entertain us, making the walk less boring.

On the other side, Commander Li had been chatting with Feng Xuanlang for an hour. Their meals were delivered by others, and the two of them were enjoying their food and drinks.

Of course, they were keeping it a secret from Commander Li's father. He was already asleep, and if he found out there was alcohol, it would be disastrous.

Commander Li hadn't drunk alcohol in a long time, and his visit to the villa area was truly a shock to him.

I also admire Yue Wu and Feng Xuanlang's foresight.

Feng Xuanlang said modestly, "I'm only benefiting from the music and dance. If it weren't for her, my older brothers and sisters would still be living in the shantytown. I can't even imagine what it would be like during a rainstorm."

"Now everyone is very happy, with big houses to live in and basic living needs, and no need to struggle to make money. Sometimes I think it's really good now!"

"But this idea is dangerous. There are still so many zombies destroying the city outside, and we don't know how long it will be peaceful here."

Commander Li took a sip of his drink and clicked his tongue, "The more you want stability, the less stable it becomes."

“Yes, the more you want stability, the less stable it becomes.” Feng Xuanlang also drank a glass of wine.

"If the external dangers are not eliminated, they will eventually threaten this place."

"I wonder how the army in City A is doing now? If they also fall, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"They'll be alright. In the end, A City's predicament needs their help."

"Yes, with them around, things will be much easier to resolve."

......

All expectations are beautiful, but reality always surpasses people's imagination.

The authorities have already begun clearing out the zombies, but the number continues to rise every day.

The reason is that many people are still waiting for rescue and have not thought about protecting themselves first or learning how to fight back against zombies.

It can only be said that people are too well protected by society, to the point that they don't even have a basic sense of resistance.

The authorities also discovered the problem and had to find another solution.

Some high-ranking officials have already moved into the air-raid shelter in the east of the city, but the decision on allowing ordinary people to enter remains unresolved.

The reason is that no one can be sure whether the people who come in will carry the zombie virus.

Therefore, only the powerful and wealthy are here, and they have no worries about food and clothing.
