Her mother refused to buy it for her, and she cried all the way home. Her eyes were swollen when she went to sleep.
Now, eight-year-old Lu Sheng finally has the Star Cane he has always longed for.
Lu Sheng's eyes suddenly stung, and his chest was instantly filled with some inexplicable emotion.
[Ding! The residents' happiness index has reached 100.]
[The host's points have been doubled.]
[Congratulations, host! You can unlock all rewards within the system.]
[You've had a tough journey, host. Now, please enjoy your life.]
As the familiar electronic voice rang out, Lu Sheng watched helplessly as his points instantly ballooned to an unattainable level.
No matter how hard she worked to improve urban development during this period, the residents' happiness index remained stuck at 99 without any change.
So, it turns out she's the one who has to provide that last point...?
Fearing that things might get complicated if things dragged on, Lu Sheng immediately opened the system shop and redeemed the zombie virus removal potion.
Holding the crystal-clear, emerald-green potion in his hand, Lu Sheng was momentarily dazed.
The hardships along the way are finally coming to an end!
She couldn't wait to inform her friends, and everyone rushed to Xu Yi's laboratory immediately.
"This...this is the zombie virus removal agent??" Zhang Xiaojuan stared wide-eyed at the small potion, too afraid to touch it.
"Yes! Not only do we have the potion, but we also have the complete formula!"
This time, the system finally didn't slack off and provided the complete recipe when exchanging potions.
The ingredients required for the formula were all very simple and basic, and Xu Yi immediately replicated ten vials of the potion.
To verify the effects of the medicine, Lu Sheng called over Xu Meng and Xu Han, the two siblings.
Upon hearing that it could eliminate the zombie virus, Xu Han immediately expressed his willingness to join the experiment without hesitation.
Tons.
Without the slightest hesitation, the little girl picked up the test tube and gulped it down her throat.
A few seconds later, Xu Meng's bluish skin gradually regained its color.
His grayish-white, cloudy eyes gradually became clear, and his dull expression became much more lively.
"It really works!" Xu Han excitedly picked up Xu Meng and lifted her high in the air.
"Mmm." Xu Meng pointed to her metal muzzle.
After hurriedly taking it off, the little girl smiled for the first time, but her toothless smile looked especially heartbreaking.
"Where's that little devil! Hurry up and call him over, get Xiaomeng the best dentures!" Zhang Xiaojuan ran out excitedly.
...
In addition to the zombie virus removal agent, there is another piece of good news.
Xu Yi successfully developed a high-efficacy growth solution.
That night, the entire city of M was in an uproar. Su Zheng and Zhao Mujia each brought their most capable subordinates to help, and even deployed the advanced robot modified by Zhang Xin, the "little mouse".
Hundreds of people and a number of machines worked through the night to produce a large quantity of zombie virus removal agents and growth fluids.
The following evening, Lu Sheng poured the powerful growth solution into the automatic irrigation pipe. The moment he pressed the valve, the fine mist of the solution was evenly sprayed across the entire green belt.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the sand-prevention green belt grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The ground, which was originally covered with gravel, was transformed into a lush forest in just a few minutes!
Inside the safe zone, countless people wept with joy.
Green represents new life, and humanity has finally found hope to end the apocalypse!
"Today is December 31st, which is New Year's Eve!" Han Rui exclaimed excitedly, then suddenly realized, "What a wonderful meaning! After tonight comes the new year, which is also a new beginning for us!"
As night fell, the group, who hadn't slept for two days and one night, showed no signs of fatigue.
"Then let's have a proper celebration tonight!" Sun Tiantian suggested.
"Alright, all goods and services in the city will be free tonight!" Lu Sheng announced magnanimously.
"The boss is so generous!"
"Sister Lu is awesome!"
Everyone was smiling through tears, embracing the moment of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the new.
"The only regret is that there is no moon tonight."
Lu Sheng raised his head and said wistfully.
It's foggy tonight; there are no stars or moon.
"Who said there's no moon? Teacher Xu has prepared one for us!" Zhang Xiaojuan ran over, covered in sweat.
On this moonless night, a gentle light suddenly appeared in the city's night sky.
A warm yellow orb of light slowly rose from the top of the city's tallest TV tower, like a bright pearl hanging in the dark sky.
The soft yellow light gently poured into every corner of the city, creating an indescribable beauty.
In the shadowy light, one could vaguely see a tall, slender figure and the silhouette of a fat cat.
"Teacher Xu was afraid you'd be disappointed, so he built you a moon." Zhang Xiaojuan, sweating profusely, approached Lu Sheng. "Sister Lu, are you sure you can handle it? If you can't, then the brothers will have to step in."
Lu Sheng didn't say anything and ran wildly towards the TV tower.
At the top of the tower, a person and a cat sat quietly on the wall. When Lu Sheng ran over, Zhuangzhuang obediently crawled into the ventilation duct.
"Teacher Xu."
His heart was pounding like a drum, even drowning out Lu Sheng's voice.
"Will we...spend New Year's Eve together from now on?"
She wasn't good at expressing her emotions. She thought of countless things to say along the way, but could only manage to squeeze out a few dry words when it came to her lips.
The next second, language became useless.
Xu Yi held her tightly in his arms. "Okay."
"Teacher Xu, you're socially anxious too, aren't you?"
The two remained silent for a full minute before Lu Sheng finally spoke first.
Xu Yi: "..."
"You've kept it to yourself for so long, you're really something."
Two waves of emotional shocks overwhelmed her, and she reverted to the nervous and timid Lu Sheng from her past life.
The two hugged for a minute without saying a word, and she finally gradually adjusted to her emotions and regained her decisive personality.
Xu Yi: "..."
"You have a system too, right?"
"Um……"
"Teacher Xu, can you let go? I can't breathe."
"Can I not call you Teacher Xu?"
"Why?"
"It's like committing a crime."
Zhuangzhuang, hiding in the ventilation duct, sneezed repeatedly, "This stench of love! Ugh!"
...
Six months later, the number of zombies across the land decreased dramatically due to the octopus invasion. However, due to the divine punishment setting of the gene lock, the mutated octopuses gradually weakened with each generation of hatching.
Lu Sheng led the Allied Forces to launch targeted strikes across the entire territory. With the combined effects of the elimination agent and the growth fluid, the harsh ecological environment was finally reversed, and zombies and mutated creatures were gradually wiped out.
Lu Sheng fulfilled the promise he made in the Peking University laboratory, handing over all the valuable research data and seeds he had collected before the apocalypse to the new government forces reorganized by Su Zheng, Xu Shao, and others.
"Sister Lu, you've given us all the things, where are you going?" Zhao Mujia asked reluctantly.
"I'm retired now, all I do is eat, sleep, and play video games."
Lu Sheng smiled mischievously.
