Chapter 62 Resolution
"It's better to rely on yourself than on heaven or earth!"
For a moment, the car fell silent, with only the phone, whose screen was still on, beeping continuously because of the constant pop-up group messages.
They always thought it was very dangerous for Team One to depart first, and it would also be dangerous for Team Four to depart last, so they chose the middle team. But now only Team One has arrived at the station safely, and Team Four didn't suffer any losses because they hadn't departed yet.
There were only their second and third teams. Team one encountered a large number of zombies at the station and suffered heavy losses. Team three might be defeated halfway.
The driver in the front row, who was also the captain of the third team, gritted his teeth and spoke out the decision he had made on the spur of the moment with difficulty.
"Retreat, let's go back too!"
…
On the big screen in the cab, the Jiang family watched the convoy on the surveillance camera turn back at the next intersection under the leadership of the lead vehicle, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
If they were really determined to come, Jiang Qian could not guarantee that she could hold on until they arrived. Fortunately, the decision maker of this team was wise.
Seeing from the surveillance video that no one was rushing towards the train station anymore, Jiang Qian calmed down and turned her attention back to the train station entrance with her family.
Tragic... The extremely tragic scene eroded and shocked their optic nerves.
The original cement pavement at the entrance no longer had its original color, and was littered with fallen bodies and broken limbs.
Most people had already dug enough magic crystals and entered the station, only a few people remained there.
The zombies were getting closer and closer. Zheng Gong hit another zombie that was walking towards him. He glanced at the large number of zombies that were about to arrive, and while loudly reminding the people around him, he retreated with his eldest brother who had just dug out a magic crystal.
"Run, run, stop digging, and go!"
But amid the roars of the incoming zombies, his shouts sounded unusually weak.
Some were frantically digging for magic crystals, but before they could react, they were overwhelmed by the zombies. Some ran slower and also became food for the monsters.
The screams stimulated everyone's eardrums, making their legs and feet move faster.
Faster, faster!
When Zheng Cheng and his group, the last group to return, arrived at the platform, most of the people who had returned earlier had already boarded the train, and only a few people were left at the train door.
Seeing them come back, the remaining people realized that something was wrong and got on the bus even faster.
There were bursts of noises coming from the waiting room behind them, like something falling to the ground. But at this moment, no one paid any attention, as everyone's eyes were focused on the train in front of them.
The zombies are right behind them, and the urgency of wanting to survive silently urges everyone on.
The strong smell of blood with a rotten stench seemed to be getting closer and closer, and the people in front hurried into the carriage one by one.
Finally, there were only four people left in front of the train door, and at this time, zombies had already smelled the scent and came to the ticket gate leading to the platform.
Zheng Cheng didn't have time to think about it, and pushed Zheng Gong in front of him into the gap between the person in front and the train door.
Zheng Gong staggered into the carriage, and after he regained his balance, he realized something. He quickly turned around and was about to get off again when he saw his elder brother waving at him.
"Now that you've bought your ticket, go up and find your parents. Don't worry about me. I'll be on the bus in a moment."
Zheng Cheng said this, patting his bulging pockets, and the magic crystals collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
Zheng Gong hesitated for a moment and glanced at his family members in the back seat who were looking at him nervously. Although he did not get out of the car, he did not go inside as his brother said. He still stood in front of the car door, keeping a close eye on the situation outside.
At this moment, there was one less person in the queue. The person who successfully got on the bus ran past Zheng Gong with a look of relief on his face, and hugged his family who had already got on the bus with the joy of surviving the disaster on his face.
But Zheng Gong's heart became more and more nervous.
There was only one person left in front of Zheng Cheng, but this person, perhaps because he was nervous or for some other reason, was reluctant to take out the magic crystal to buy a ticket.
As more and more zombies arrived at the ticket gate, some of them were already coming this way.
The people in the car looked at the situation outside and had already started to panic.
"Oh my god, the zombies are here!"
"What should I do? When does the bus leave?"
"Could you please close the door first?"
"There are people outside!"
"What's wrong with that other person? Are we going to risk the lives of everyone on the bus for that one person? If a zombie gets on the bus, we'll all be doomed!"
The person who had just argued fell silent, while the person who had just threatened to close the door suddenly became more arrogant. Some even ran to the door, trying to see if there was a switch that could be turned on.
Zheng Gong was also anxious. Seeing that the man was still dawdling, he urged him, "Hurry up, the zombies are coming soon!"
Perhaps startled by his shout, the man shuddered, and the next second he knelt down at the door.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to delay. I only dug this one, so I can't get on the bus. Is there anyone who can lend me a magic crystal? I will definitely return it, I will definitely return it..."
The thin man burst into tears, and there was indeed only a magic crystal in his open palm.
The people nearby who were attracted by this scene immediately started talking.
"Why didn't you dig a few more outside just now?"
"Where are your family and friends? Are they in the car? Do they have any other magic crystals?"
"Who has extra of this stuff? Why don't you prepare it in advance?" The person who said this had no idea that he was also one of the people who were frantically digging for magic crystals outside.
"Why are you blocking the door? Why didn't you say so earlier? Do you want to drag everyone down with you?"
Someone who had been trying to close the door got angry and kicked the person down.
The man was thinking of kicking the person farther away, but suddenly he felt his clothes being pulled on the back, and a huge force suddenly came from behind.
Before he could react, he was pulled aside. His body hit the bathroom door behind him, sending a sharp pain through his back.
After he came to his senses, he was about to see who had done it, but two figures suddenly rushed in front of him, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
While his brother was pulling away the people blocking the door, Zheng Cheng dodged the zombies that were already close to him without him noticing, took out a handful of magic crystals from his shirt pocket, threw them in without even looking, and then rushed forward with the people blocking his way.
The next second, an alarm suddenly sounded inside the train, and even the white light bar under the luggage rack of the carriage turned red and kept flashing.
The shrill alarm and the sudden flashing red light scared everyone in the car, and also made Zheng Cheng, who had fallen to the ground, quickly come to his senses.
Because Zheng Gong and the man who had just kicked someone were blocking the bathroom door, the two men did not hit the door directly and were not injured.
After Zheng Cheng came to his senses, the red light bar had turned white again and the alarm stopped.
Everything was no different from before they got on the bus. However, the people who were startled by the situation just now were still like frightened birds and did not dare to sit down.
"What's going on?"
"Is there something wrong?"
"Why did it suddenly ring?"
"What's the alarm at this time?"
Zheng Cheng had no time to pay attention to everyone's discussions and looked towards the train door first.
They originally thought that the alarm was caused by zombies getting on the car, but they didn't expect that the zombies that had just pounced on them were still at the door.
The zombies pounced and roared towards them, but they seemed to be blocked outside by some invisible barrier and could not step into the train.
The people in the car had already picked up their weapons, ready to fight the zombies for three hundred rounds at any time, but they didn't expect to see such a magical scene.
The panic I had just felt from hearing the alarm was instantly forgotten.
The face that was originally filled with fear and anxiety was first filled with surprise, and then joy, the complete joy of seeing the zombies being stopped outside.
"Hey, they can't get in!"
"Are we safe now?"
"This car is great! I didn't expect we were the only ones allowed in!"
Someone in the back heard that the zombies couldn't get in, so they ran to the front row to see, "It's true, they really can't get in."
More and more zombies gathered at the door, but none of them broke through the invisible blockade of the car door.
The zombies that gradually surrounded the train, although they kept banging on the train walls, did not cause any damage or even vibration to the train.
Everyone in the car was originally worried, but they all felt relieved after seeing this situation. The brave ones even ran to the door of the car and poked the zombies circling around the door with their weapons from a distance.
"Hey, you guys are causing trouble, come and arrest us! You can't get in, right?"
"I let you bite people! I let you bite people!"
The zombie at the door staggered after being stabbed by him, and struggled to rush forward, but was blocked at the door.
Seeing the zombies that had been baring their fangs and claws at them before become toys that could be teased in their hands, everyone had a relaxed smile on their faces.
But in the cab up front, the Jiang family was still facing a formidable enemy.
More and more zombies poured in from outside, and the passengers in the passenger carriage thought that everything would be fine as long as the train protected them, but only they knew that this train was not omnipotent.
Only after Jiang Qian and Ren Ru confirmed through the surveillance cameras on the nearby streets that there were no passengers on the way to the bus did Jiang Dong press the button to close the door.
The train door slowly closed, and the man who was teasing the zombies immediately put away the wooden stick in his hand when he saw the door was about to close.
The car door and the car body were connected tightly, blocking every gap and completely isolating the surrounding zombies outside.
The zombies' roars instantly subsided, becoming almost inaudible in the train compartment. If it weren't for the blood still splattered on everyone's bodies from the previous fight, they would have thought everything they had just experienced was just a nightmare.
The next moment, the train slowly took off.
Everyone in the car watched the zombie's face slowly fall and disappear at the bottom edge of the car window. Then, the blue sky gradually filled every inch of the clear glass.
The city that had been like a cage fell at their feet, and nothing could stop them from leaving.
They leaned against the window, watching the city's landmark buildings disappear before their eyes, their faces gradually becoming wet.
The joy of being able to leave, the sadness of losing loved ones, and the melancholy of going far away from home, all these complex emotions gradually condensed in my heart.
…
The Jiang family members in the driver's cab in front were unaware of the complex emotions in the hearts of the people in the passenger compartment.
After the train took off, they only left Jiang Qian, who was watching the surveillance, and Jiang Dong, who was driving, in the cab. The rest of them had all left.
Compared to the citizens of City B who were excited about riding in a passenger carriage for the first time, even though the Jiang family had only been in contact with trains a few days earlier than them, after so many times, they had become accustomed to this kind of life.
They no longer made a fuss about it, but just treated it as an ordinary little thing and continued to do what they were supposed to do.
Although the entire journey is more than 80 kilometers long, it is not challenging for Jiang Dong, an "old driver" who has gradually gotten the hang of it.
After getting used to flying in the air, the speed of the train gradually increased.
In less than an hour, the train was parked steadily on the airport land.
The moment the train door opened again, everyone in the car had not yet recovered from the shock. They stared at the open door for nearly half a minute before someone reacted first and started to pack up the things on the luggage rack.
Seeing this, the others also began to pack up and prepare to get off the bus, but their faces still showed a dreamy confusion and disbelief.
"Are we there yet? Can we get off now?"
"Have we left that place full of zombies?"
But even if I doubted it, the view outside the car door was real. Under the scorching sun, there was only land and weeds that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Some people who had already packed their things couldn't wait to go out.
Although it was a desolate wilderness with nothing in sight, everyone who stepped out of the car was surprised as if they had arrived in some paradise.
The exclamations of joy and the emotion of finally escaping intertwined, injecting a different kind of vitality into this silent land.
"Great, we're finally out!"
"It's fresh air, fresh air without the smell of blood and corpses!"
Some people couldn't help crying with joy.
Some people looked at this safe land and thought of their loved ones who collapsed at the station entrance, and burst into tears instantly.
"My dad, it would be great if he could see this scene!"
Some people felt sad for their own kind and were overwhelmed with grief when they thought of their deceased relatives.
"God damn it, it would be great if the zombies took the life of an old woman like me, but why did they hurt my daughter!"
"My brother was grabbed when he got off the bus, and he turned into..."
The joys and sorrows of mankind seem to be connected at this moment, but reality does not give them too much time to be sad.
Leaving City B and arriving at the airport was only their first stop. After leaving this safe train, they faced even more difficult challenges.
After getting off the bus, everyone has different goals.
Some people are going to other cities to look for their loved ones, some need to lead their families to find a new and safe place to stay, and some people who went out with their families are now alone and need to find the meaning of life...
After a brief moment of sadness, they cheered themselves up again, glanced at the train behind them, and continued forward along the direction of the ruts, carrying their luggage and their families.
…
Huang Liping watched their figures gradually become smaller and then disappear from her sight. Thinking of the crying she had just heard, her heart felt heavy.
“I wonder where they’ll go next?”
Jiang Qian thought for a moment and said, "We should go to Xiaozhao Village!"
They were following the wheel tracks, and their final destination was definitely Xiaozhao Village. Even if they didn't go to Xiaozhao Village, there probably wasn't any safe place nearby. And she guessed that Zhao Wen from Xiaozhao Village would definitely not let these people go.
But these have nothing to do with them.
After making sure that the people leaving could not see the situation of the train, the whole family got off the train briefly to get some fresh air. Jiang Qian also took the opportunity to clean the dirt inside and outside the train with one click.
I came back early today due to an accident, so I was able to have a peaceful lunch.
While others were concentrating on cooking, Jiang Qian finally had the opportunity to check today's earnings.
Although she didn't count the number of passengers today, she guessed that there must be quite a few seeing how packed the carriage was.
But when she clicked on the page showing the income details, she didn't expect to get two seemingly unrelated data.
Today's passenger count was 101, but the revenue was 197.
Each person gets two magic crystals per vote, so shouldn't the profit be 202 magic crystals?
Jiang Qian couldn't figure it out, so she called her own customer service.
The system page flashed twice before she heard Xiao Ling's explanation.
The childish voice tells the story.
[There is nothing wrong with this revenue; it occurs because the train's capacity was exceeded.]
[Currently, each carriage has 100 seats and a seating capacity of 100 people, meaning it can carry 100 passengers. However, unexpected situations can occur during actual operation, so interstellar laws and regulations allow for a certain degree of overcrowding on trains, but the maximum overcrowding rate cannot exceed 20% of the seating capacity.]
[Also, for each extra passenger, a penalty of 5% of the gross profit from unloading passengers when the train was full will be deducted to cover the additional energy costs. When the overcrowding rate reaches 20% of the train's capacity, the train will be unable to start due to overloading for passenger safety.]
[Just like this time, the train was overcrowded by one person, so the profit of 202 magic crystals was deducted from 5% of the full-capacity profit of 100 magic crystals, which is 5 magic crystals, for a total profit of 197 magic crystals.]
This was the first time Jiang Qian knew that the interstellar train had such detailed regulations.
"So, if there are more than 120 people on the bus today, we won't be able to leave at all?"
Jiang Qian said, thinking of the alarm that suddenly came to mind today, "Couldn't that be the alarm warning?"
[Yes, the train will automatically sound an alarm each time it's overcrowded. If the maximum overcrowding rate is reached, someone must get off the train. Therefore, please be careful not to overload the train during future operations, as this will not only affect safety but also revenue.]
'Isn't this too harsh?'
Once the news about the train gets out, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to ride it. How is it possible to keep the number of passengers within 120 every time?
If the situation is as critical as today, wouldn't people be allowed to get on the bus or kicked off the bus?
What's the difference between that and forcing someone to die? Jiang Qian felt that she couldn't do such a thing.
But if you don't do this, the whole car will be stuck.
Jiang Qian felt a headache just thinking about it. She tried to persuade him, "Can't you be flexible with the rules of your star system? When in Rome, do as the Romans do. You should learn to make some changes according to the current situation."
But the child's voice in my mind seemed a little aggrieved.
[According to the information, this rule of the interstellar train was formulated based on the traffic and train regulations of the mother planet.]
Jiang Qian thought about the question bank she had memorized when she took the driving test and fell silent.
"How many traffic rules are there in the interstellar world? Xiao Ling, tell me about them first!" Jiang Qian felt a little scared thinking about what happened today. If the team behind them hadn't temporarily withdrawn, they might not have been able to return safely today without knowing anything.
In order to avoid being cheated by the rules of the interstellar world again next time, Jiang Qian decided to understand all the laws and regulations of the interstellar world now. She had memorized thousands of questions in order to get a driver's license.
[There are 13,478 in total. Do you want me to put them on the big screen for you?]
Jiang Qian, who was originally full of fighting spirit, choked.
'Forget it, next time you see me, tell me in advance!'
【OK】
'However, there is still something you need to do.'
…
Local forum of City B.
[Where's the person who said they were leaving today? Is he here now? Can you please call me?]
[That's right, tell us what the situation is. Is there any risk if we go out now?]
[We should be here, right? I saw a dozen cars pass by our gate earlier.]
[Friends in front, please don’t leave yet. Please explain in more detail.]
[I don't know any more. I haven't dared to open the doors and windows at home these past few days, and the curtains have been drawn all the time, for fear that the zombies would smell something. I just happened to see this today when I opened the bathroom to ventilate it.]
【Picture】【Picture】
[I don’t know if anyone got on the bus, but the bus did come and then left.]
【!!! ！ ！】
[Didn't it say it would open at 1pm? What's going on?]
[Isn't that up to everyone to decide? The train never says when it's going to leave.]
【But wasn’t it the same time the previous two days? 】
If we don't know the departure time, how can we go there safely?
[We must have encountered a horde of zombies...]
[Does anyone know the inside story or live nearby? Tell me more.]
We're the fourth convoy heading to the train station today. According to the group chat, the journey is quite dangerous. The first convoy arrived safely, but the next two... well, they suffered heavy losses. There are still plenty of zombies on the streets, so we canceled our plans. It's best not to act rashly without some skill.
What about the people in the convoy ahead? Does anyone have any comment on the situation?
【[Zombie video near the train station].mp4】
【This is the video we posted in our group】
[No, I remember the bus in the video only had a capacity of 100 people. How did you manage to get so many people on the same day? Was there enough space?]
[Limited to 100 people, right? Where did this news come from?]
[It's written on the screen at the front of the car. The car in the video doesn't look very big. I counted and there are only a hundred seats. How many people can such a small space hold?]
[This... green train even has standing room! It shouldn't only seat a hundred people, right?]
[But there is a maximum passenger capacity, just like high-speed rail. If it is overloaded to a certain extent, it will not operate. Last time, I planned to buy a short-distance ticket and get on the train first and buy the ticket later, but I was asked to get off.]
[So, it was wise for our fourth team not to go?]
[I'm really lucky. If you had gone there, you might not have been able to get on the bus.]
[Don't just guess blindly, has anyone here told me something?]
[Maybe they have left the city. They may not have the same signal as us.]
I don’t know how many people got on the bus today, but the alarm did sound when the last two people boarded…
"You were in the car?! Did you say why?"
【Where are the people?】
【Why did you run away halfway through making your statement? 】
[I guess the signal outside is unstable! ]
[Those who want to take the bus should discuss it first next time, so as not to exceed the number of people and still be unable to leave]
How can we discuss this? We don't even know if others will go.
[However, after what happened today, there will probably be fewer people who want to go there. After all, it’s too dangerous.]
[Indeed, there are so many zombies gathered there now. I guess all the zombies nearby are flocking to the train station.]
"What about the government? Now that there's a train like this, can they clear out the zombies nearby and manage them?"
The government is still carrying out rescue efforts in the southeast of the city, so they may not have the resources to assist here.
"If they didn't have the energy to spare before, it would have been fine. But now the best options are laid out right here. Even if they don't have the energy to spare, they should still take care of this first. What are they still hesitating about?"
…
After letting Xiao Ling lead the way in spreading the news that the train was limited to a maximum of 100 people, Jiang Qian didn't read the rest of the discussion.
Lunch was ready at that moment, and after the family had eaten, it was time to rest as usual.
More and more people were arriving at the airport. For fear of being discovered inadvertently if they got off the car too often, almost no one in the Jiang family got out of the car. They stayed in the car whenever possible.
But the people who are most likely to do the things they are worried about simply don't have the energy to spare.
…
Since it was decided that the entire village would stay, Xiaozhao Village began to fully start the operation of clearing the zombies from nearby villages.
Aside from those who stayed behind to protect the elderly, women, and children in the village, all the young and strong men who had some strength joined the zombie-clearing team. Even those who had come from City B were assigned to the team by Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu in batches.
But even so, the number of people is still not enough and the cleanup progress is still slow.
It is very simple to attract zombies with fresh flesh and blood or drive over them, but the difficulty lies in how to deal with the aftermath.
In order to prevent the smell of blood from attracting more zombies, and also to worry about the outbreak of an epidemic that may lead to the further spread of the "zombie virus", the fallen bodies must be taken away for processing and incineration. Just the step of taking away the bodies is a huge project.
Therefore, even though they used engineering vehicles to clear out the zombies quickly, they did not dare to be too reckless. Therefore, so far, they have only just cleaned up Dazhao Village.
However, if we want to build a road out of here, it is definitely not enough to just clear Dazhao Village. The villages behind may face more difficulties and obstacles.
Zhao Wen looked at the map of several nearby villages in the conference room and sighed.
“There are still too few people available!”
In the past few days, when they were clearing Dazhao Village, they did rescue quite a few people from the village, but for those who needed help, it was a drop in the bucket.
The village elder nearby was also worried. After taking a puff of his cigarette, he suggested, "Why don't we send someone to the airport to check. If there are still people there, they will definitely have to leave as well. They are all useful manpower."
Zhao Wen nodded. He also wanted to wait for the train to come back to see the situation and see if he could bring some more people back.
"I thought so too, but this car left this morning, so it shouldn't be back yet, right?"
According to the approximate time they returned yesterday, the train carrying people should have returned around two o'clock in the afternoon. It's just past noon now, so it's still two hours away!
But as soon as he finished speaking, someone rushed in while shouting.
"Brother Wen, there are a lot of people coming over from the airport!"
…
Just as Zhao Wen was surprised by the new arrival, a military off-road vehicle and a military truck drove out of the temporary camp in City A and disappeared on the road to the southeast.
On the other side, a hundred miles away, three helicopters were flying from the southeast to the southwest of City B.
…
B City Railway Station.
The train had already left, but the zombies that had gathered because of the crowds of people still hadn't dispersed.
In a residential building in a nearby community, two people were hiding behind the balcony curtains and secretly peeking outside.
"How's it going out there?"
The woman stood on tiptoe, trying to see the scene outside over the man's shoulder. "Have all the zombies left? How many are left now?"
The man he was questioning was still looking outside. "Don't worry! There are so many zombies, how can they disperse so quickly?"
After knowing that there were still zombies everywhere outside, the woman lost the mood to look and returned to sit on the sofa while complaining.
"If we had known this would happen, we should have gone downstairs earlier like everyone else. We might have already left by now! We wouldn't have to worry about the current situation!"
The woman was getting angrier and angrier as she thought about the current situation. "Now look what's going on! So many zombies have been lured outside. Let alone going out, our house might be broken into by zombies any day! I shouldn't have listened to you!"
After hearing this, the man closed the curtains and sat down on the sofa. He comforted his wife, "Xiufeng, don't be angry. Even if we can't leave now, as long as the car stays here, we'll have a chance to leave sooner or later. It's not a big deal now, right?"
"So when are you saying late?"
The woman's words came down like a machine gun at full blast.
"We all saw the car when it arrived on the first day, but since it was the first day, we didn't know what was going on, so we were told to wait, and I listened."
"The next day, we saw the car coming and saw people getting off it. We also saw people getting on nearby cars. I suggested we follow it, but you said to wait a little longer, and I listened."
"Including today, we all knew from the internet that a lot of people would be coming over there, but you still said there was no rush and we should just wait and see. Now, that group of people have attracted a large wave of zombies when they came over, and we're completely stuck. There's really no need to rush!"
"People say that opportunities come to those who are prepared, but what about you? You didn't know how to seize the opportunity when it was right in front of you, and you just watched it slip away!"
The woman's chest heaved violently. She grabbed a pillow from the sofa next to her and threw it at the man. "No rush, no rush, no rush. Never rush. You mean no rush? Look, it's been three days. Have you seen anything? Wang Zhiping, can you please think more about your family, especially your two daughters!"
"There are zombies everywhere down there now. How can we survive?"
The man blocked the flying pillow, a little breathless, but still muttered, "Why can't he live? Aren't he still alive and well now? Most people in our community are still here, it's not just us, are we?"
The woman threw another pillow over and said angrily, "Then why don't you take a look at how many families are still living in our community?"
…
The community they live in now is right next to the train station. It was the house that my parents-in-law bought before they got married. It is twenty years old.
The community was very lively in the early years, but in recent years, as the old neighbors have moved away, the actual occupancy rate in the community is now less than 40% of the original rate.
The apartment they live in now is on the top floor of the sixth floor, with three bedrooms, two living rooms and one bathroom.
Although the area of the first floor is not large, it has a small attic. Although the roof is a bit low and there is no heating, it is a bit hot in the summer, but the area and rooms are the same as those below, which adds up to six rooms.
In recent years, with the construction of high-speed rail stations in various places, the areas near train stations have become increasingly desolate. They have thought about moving elsewhere like their other neighbors. Not to mention their children's schooling, it would also make life and work more convenient.
The newly built community has better supporting facilities. Unlike where they live now, there is not even an underground garage, and it is a problem to find a parking space every night.
However, the prices of newly developed communities in the city are not low.
Wang Zhiping and Li Xiufeng have a pair of ten-year-old twin daughters in their home. Since they were busy with work, they have lived with their parents-in-law since their marriage, and they have helped raise their two children.
A family of six, plus two daughters who want their own rooms, would have to buy a new house with at least 140 to 150 square meters of four bedrooms to be able to live in. Including the decoration, furniture and appliances, it would cost at least 1.6 to 1.7 million yuan.
Wang Zhiping and Li Xiufeng are not considered capable people, not to mention that the economy has been in a downturn in the past two years and it has become much more difficult to make money. Their combined salaries are barely enough to support their family of four.
【Author’s words】
I successfully became a v-star today! Sprinkle flowers!
I've done my best to write this much. Eight thousand seven hundred words, rounded up to three chapters, right? Three chapters, rounded up to ten thousand, right?
My brain has been drained out, and now I am chatting with you as an author who has been squeezed dry, and is now just a skeleton...
I was coding until after 1am yesterday, so I woke up a little late this morning. In the middle of the night, I dreamed that I had mistakenly selected the sixth chapter for the v-rated chapter. The thought of having everyone buy more scared me awake. Before I even opened my eyes, I reached for my phone to check the backend. When I opened it, I realized I hadn't made the wrong choice, but I had bought the same thing as many other things. [Covering my face]
To celebrate my entry into v and to thank everyone for their support, I'm giving you some blood back.
All 2-point comments in the comment section of this chapter will receive a small red envelope!
In addition, all 2-point comments in Chapters 26, 36, 46, and 56 will also receive red envelopes! Wish me good luck!
Friends who have not commented before can make a comment. All red envelopes will be sent out on the evening of the 7th of this month after the holiday.
There is also the issue of updates. I told you before that I would update 2,000+ words a day. With my typing speed, I definitely won’t be able to get perfect attendance, so whether I update 3,000 words a day or get a red flower is not that important to me.
But yesterday I studied the forum and Jinjiang's current rankings, and found that some rankings can only be accessed with red flowers. Jinjiang recommends 3,000 points a day because it seems that the points will be higher this way.
So I hesitated for a while, and finally decided to change back to the original update frequency.
I'll update as usual, based on the rankings, and every other day if there aren't any. I'll let you know in advance in the author's message if I'll update on a particular day. If something unexpected happens, I'll post a note asking for leave. The update schedule isn't fixed, but if there's an update on the same day, you'll definitely see it before 10 PM. If I'm feeling inspired, I'll update more.
My speed and brain power are really not enough to increase the quantity. If I force myself to increase the quantity, it will affect the quality of the articles, and my life will become worse, so I'd better strive to maintain the quality!
Today is already dry, the next update should be in the early morning of the 6th. I will try to write more.
Thank you for your support, and I hope you enjoy reading!
Heart!
