The New Year is approaching, and according to the lunar calendar, they only have a few days left before the New Year.
The apocalyptic virus finally overcame the difficulties before New Year's Eve. At this point, all the zombie vaccines have been distributed, ensuring that all survivors can have a good year.
Before being completely destroyed, most of the zombies were named and their ashes were stored in a large cemetery using high-density compression.
There are two moons in the sky, circling side by side, and the newly created artificial space outpost is the second moon that everyone sees.
A busy day passed, and while the streetlights were few and far between, they were enough to illuminate the way home for passersby. With only a few people left in each city, the administrators had centralized the power supply into a single area, facilitating energy distribution while also ensuring the safety of most people. Most people had no objection to this.
"Damn it, you're eating and drinking my money, and I told you to go out and find a job, yet you look down on me. From tomorrow on, get the hell out of here." A woman in her fifties pointed her finger at the white-faced man in front of her. She shouldn't have been tempted by his face and let him coax her into taking him in. She had wasted so much of her food.
At this moment, Duan Wei, who had not been seen for a long time, curled up and was obediently scolded by the woman in front of him. After escaping from the apocalypse, his courage was shattered.
Now, he runs away in fear whenever he sees a zombie, causing him to miss out on a lot of work. Others, after being vaccinated, have overcome their fear and joined the cleanup effort. During the New Century Development, he was striving to earn more money, but he couldn't overcome his fear due to emergency procedures, and he still runs away in fear when he sees a zombie.
In Huacheng, without a job, it was difficult to make ends meet. The food aid was getting less and less every day, and everyone relied on killing zombies in exchange for equivalent food or money. Many people saved enough money to start their own businesses.
He looked at the old woman in front of him, forced a smile, walked over to her ingratiatingly, rubbed her shoulders and said, "Chunhua, you see, you are not old anymore. It's so dangerous to go out and fight zombies all day. How about we do some business so we don't have to be exposed to the wind and sun? What do you think?"
"Not so good!" The woman named Chunhua glared at Duan Wei fiercely. "You're a gigolo. You can't even make back your money, and yet you're still thinking about taking my property. What? You want to open a shop? What kind of shop?"
"Oh, Chunhua, you misunderstood. I'm definitely not greedy for anything from you. Look, you go out like this every day, leaving before dawn and returning after dark. How hard it is. If you open a shop, even if it's just selling some local specialties, making some money would be better than working so hard. By the way, why don't you have another child... You said I can stay at home to look after the child, how nice it would be."
When the woman heard Duan Wei's last words, her heart was moved. She was not unmarried and childless earlier. But the dead man was a man who drank and beat his wife all day long, and his son was not a good student. He only knew how to play games every day, and asked her for money at every turn, and beat her if she didn't give it. The burly Chunhua thought about this, looked at the young Duan Wei, and had an idea. She was not old anymore, and if she didn't give birth to a child, she would have no one to take care of her in her old age. If she gave birth to a child with him, he would not leave her for the sake of the child. Besides, even if she didn't live long, he could continue to look after the child.
The more Chunhua thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good idea.
Looking at the smile on Chunhua's wrinkled face, Duan Wei knew that this matter was possible.
When Duan Wei thought of this, he knew Chunhua agreed. When he thought that this woman would pass away soon, and he would be able to get her inheritance and find another family, Duan Wei smiled triumphantly.
For a moment, the two people's faces showed the same expression.
…
Xu Xuening returned, dusty and exhausted, carrying a box of manure, following Professor Yang. She was truly devastated. Her space suddenly malfunctioned, and before it exploded, Professor Yang managed to drag her back a box of fertilizer.
The car broke down again along the way, and the two of them had no choice but to walk back with their belongings. When they entered from the east gate, the person who opened the door almost didn't recognize them.
They were interrogated for a long time as spies. Only when Xu Xuening was recognized were they able to enter the city by scanning her face.
"I just said you shouldn't hide your face!" Professor Yang said.
He started to criticize his apprentice for the wasted time.
"We are covered in shit. If we don't hide our faces, everyone will know us! Master, do you want those people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to watch you make a fool of yourself?" Xu Xuening shrugged indifferently and threw the question to Professor Yang.
Now that all the sciences have been consolidated into one academy, people like Professor Yang who are slow to produce results tend to face some discrimination. It's not really discrimination, but rather that everyone is eager to compete, and Professor Yang doesn't want to be outdone.
He thought about what Xu Xuening said and could only curse, "Damn it, if those bastards dare to say that to me, I'll throw a handful of fertilizer at them."
After hearing what Professor Yang said, Xu Xuening remained indifferent.
Professor Yang has said this countless times, but when she encounters those people, she still can't say a word. Every time she is severely criticized, she is the one who fights back.
She always wondered if Professor Yang accepted her as his disciple because she was good at talking back to people.
This kind of question cannot be further investigated, and we still need to look forward.
After Xu Xuening decided to move the fertilizer into the Chinese Academy of Sciences today, she didn't go out to run around with Professor Yang for the past six months.
