The weather turned cold again, but this time the temperature was much better than what they felt in the mountains.
"Ten degrees below zero, it's okay." Looking at the thermometer hanging in Zhao's house and the temperature displayed on it, everyone in the team was deeply moved.
"The temperature here feels much warmer than on the mountain." Han Xiaoxiao poked her head out to look and found that there were actually birds flying through the sky, but the bird's feathers looked extremely thick.
The leaves on the streets of Hwaseong were all lush green, apparently not yet frozen by the sudden temperature change. The autumn wind was howling, but the city had already entered a state of severe winter.
In the streets and alleys, there were many workers sweeping the streets, even some young people were among them. The heavy snow covered the entire city, and some places had already formed a thick frost. Private cars had decreased significantly, and most people were buses and pedestrians on bicycles.
"The temperature on the mountain is definitely fifty degrees below zero." Sun Jian took out a mobile phone in his hand and fiddled with it for a few times, watching the small black screen of the machine slowly light up.
After arriving in Huacheng, what made Sun Jian happiest was that he could finally use electricity.
On their way here, they saw many cities that were shrouded in darkness.
Patting the small black machine in his hand, he looked at the lit red number and finally put it in his pocket with satisfaction.
"Oh, you're all awake so early." Zhao Zhongli looked at the guests sitting in the living room and immediately felt a little restrained. He should have prepared breakfast for everyone, but the food at home was already running out, and he couldn't come up with anything decent to serve. Just when he was feeling ashamed, he saw that the table was already full of food.
It wasn't instant noodles or steamed buns soaked in boiling water, but a proper breakfast: soy milk, oil tea, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, eggs, and even bread, milk, and coffee.
The delicious smell of the food stimulated his taste buds, and his stomach began to growl.
"Brother Zhao, come and have dinner. Call your daughter too." Chen Sheng saw the man's awkward expression and immediately invited him warmly. "We used your fire. I wonder if this energy cost is expensive?"
"It's not a charge." Zhao Zhongli immediately waved his hand, "You guys can use it, I'll go call Niu Niu to eat." Looking at the table full of sumptuous food, he quickly called Niu Niu out.
After breakfast, Zhao Zhongli took them to the Housing Authority. After some explanation, the people from the Housing Authority looked at them carefully and said, "Tell me your ID numbers." The people from the Housing Authority looked Xie Yan and others up and down and asked for their ID numbers.
Xu Xuening immediately became nervous and looked at Wei Zizhou in front of her.
Looking at Wei Zizhou's tall, still figure, he still couldn't let go. If he checked his ID number, it would be easy to find out Wei Zizhou's current identity. According to the rules, he was still a fugitive.
Xie Yan looked towards Xu Xuening, and seeing her frown, the corners of his mouth straightened. Following her gaze, he saw Wei Zizhou standing in front of him. This man, if he hadn't sent someone to rescue him... No, he couldn't continue thinking like this.
Life is never made up of ifs and ifs. Things that have been decided have already happened, and only the choices made at the moment are the most important.
"There are four people in one room. There are thirteen of you. We will give you a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, Room 809, Unit 2, Chunlai Community." After the Housing Committee staff knew their number, they began to check their ID cards one by one.
After everyone's identities were verified, it was Wei Zizhou's turn.
Xu Xuening watched quietly as Wei Zizhou handed over his ID card.
The Housing Authority staff member took it and soon a clear picture appeared on the screen. "...Suspected of disturbing public order. Huh?" The other person looked up at Wei Zizhou again. "No, you can't live with them."
"This comrade was a policeman before," Zhang Ziqiang began to explain.
The Housing Authority official raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong with the police? They shouldn't be breaking the law while enforcing it. Even if you offer him a guarantee, it won't work. There's a rule from above that people like this who are still under trial or in criminal cases must live in the East Third Ring Road area."
"But I heard that the Third Ring Road hasn't been cleaned up yet?" Zhang Ziqiang asked.
"Yes, otherwise we would let you live in the East Third Ring Road? Since you are serving your sentence, you should live in the East Third Ring Road and participate in the work of clearing zombies. Once you behave well and make meritorious contributions, your sentence will of course be reduced." The people from the Housing Authority said it as a matter of course.
"But, there really is a reason for what happened to him," said Zhang Ziqiang.
"He went to the TV station to warn more people about the zombies. He didn't intend to disrupt public order or endanger social security."
Xu Xuening explained quickly.
The Housing Authority representative turned his face away, refusing to listen to their explanation. "I don't care. I'm just following the rules. If you have any questions, report them to higher-ups. But they're very busy right now. Besides, if he can redeem himself and perform well, he'll be able to get out of the East Third Ring Road quickly. Don't worry."
"Can……"
"No need to argue." Wei Zizhou suddenly interrupted their argument. He looked at Xu Xuening and Zhang Ziqiang and smiled. "Comrade, please help me with the residency procedures for the East Third Ring Road. If possible, I'd like a room with a sunny view."
After Xu Xuening understood what Wei Zizhou said, she immediately understood.
