Xiao Yi stepped into the dim underground shelter, a complex wave of emotions rising in his heart. This is the last bastion of humanity after the end of the world, and everyone is struggling for survival. He has a huge amount of supplies, but he chooses to hide them because he knows that wealth often brings unnecessary trouble.
He found a job with the guards, patrolling the vegetable gardens daily, his eyes sharp, alert for any possible theft. He wore a simple guard uniform and a seemingly ordinary dagger hung at his waist. Unbeknownst to him, it was actually made of a rare alloy from before the apocalypse, and its edge was incredibly sharp.
In the vegetable garden, various vegetables grew tenaciously under the dim light, a rare green in the shelter. Xiao Yi walked quietly, his footsteps light and silent. His eyes swept over each plant, as if telling the oath of a guardian.
Suddenly, a slight noise caught his attention. He turned quickly, his eyes fixed on a corner. A thin figure was stealthily approaching the vegetable patch, holding a worn shovel.
Xiao Yi's heart tightened, but he didn't act immediately. He knew that the people here took this road because of hunger. He took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the figure.
"Friend, what are you doing?" Xiao Yi's voice was calm and firm.
The figure was startled, turned around and saw Xiao Yi, with a flash of panic in his eyes. The shovel in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"I...I just..." He stammered, unable to form a complete sentence.
Xiao Yi looked at him, a trace of sympathy flashed in his eyes. He took out a piece of dry food from his pocket and handed it to the man.
"Eat it, it's yours," he said.
The man took the dry food, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes. He ate it ravenously, as if he had never tasted such delicious food before.
"Thank you, I...I'm really hungry." He said while eating.
Xiao Yi nodded without saying anything. He knew that the world had become cruel and ruthless, but he was still willing to protect every life on this land in his own way.
From that day on, Xiao Yi not only guarded the vegetable garden, but also guarded every person who went astray due to hunger. He used his actions to tell them that although the world is difficult, as long as there is love and persistence, we will be able to overcome the difficulties.
And Xiao Yi's secret, in his silent protection, is being perceived by more and more people. They may not know his name, but they all remember the figure patrolling the vegetable garden, the guardian who guarded them with love and courage.
Inside the underground base, dim lights flickered, illuminating tense and anxious faces. Although temporarily spared from the calamity of the solar flare, the stifling heat felt like an invisible yoke, making it difficult to breathe.
Xiao Yi stood in front of a half-open door, feeling the coolness seeping in from the outside world. He frowned, thinking in his mind how to bring a touch of coolness to this space without exposing his massive supplies.
He didn't dare use the air conditioner easily, as the shrill roar and obvious energy consumption would undoubtedly attract unnecessary attention. So he could only rely on ice cubes and fans to barely cool down.
Xiao Yi walked into a storage room filled with various supplies he had brought from before the apocalypse. He selected several large blocks of ice and carefully carried them out. These ice blocks had been preserved using special insulation materials, and each block contained a refreshing energy.
He placed the ice in the corner of the room, and immediately, a cool breeze spread. People gathered around, their faces showing a long-lost look of comfort.
"Xiao Yi, you are really our savior!" someone exclaimed.
Xiao Yi smiled slightly and waved his hand, signaling everyone to keep quiet. He didn't want to attract more attention because of this little thing.
In addition to ice, Xiao Yi also used the power resources in the base to set up several fans. Although the cooling effect of the fans was limited, they could still bring a hint of coolness in the hot underground space.
Xiao Yi stood in front of the fan, feeling the breeze, but his heart was filled with worry. He knew that this cooling method was only temporary. As the number of people in the underground base increased and time passed, electricity and ice would become increasingly scarce.
However, he didn't show these worries on his face. He knew the weight of his responsibility and must remain calm and resolute. He would continue to protect this underground space and everyone who lived there.
In this hot and oppressive underground base, Xiao Yi became a cool breeze in people's hearts. His presence seemed to bring a ray of light and hope to this dark space. And he himself was also silently guarding this hope, looking forward to the dawn of the future to come soon.
The underground base was hot and oppressive. Although temporarily free from the threat of solar flares, it was still like a huge steamer, making it difficult to breathe.
Xiao Yi, as one of the guardians of this space, never reveals his true identity in front of others. He knows that in this world full of uncertainty, hiding oneself is the safest strategy.
Every day, he busied himself around the base like any other ordinary person, patrolling, moving supplies, helping build facilities... He was always there where needed, yet his name was rarely mentioned.
However, every night when most people are immersed in dreams, Xiao Yi will quietly return to his own secret space. There, it is his real world, where he can relax and enjoy a moment of peace.
