Jiang Fei glanced at the sun in the sky: "We will know whether the polar day has ended or not in the evening."
"The growth of plants could be a natural disaster or a manifestation of the universe."
Since the beginning of the polar day in the last life, no plants have grown on the earth.
All the disasters in this life have changed.
She also didn't know what would happen next.
"Hope is a thing."
Xiao Chuxia said hopefully, and she and Jiang Fei got in the car and went to the main street.
㱗The stall owners here have reached a tacit understanding.
No matter how late Jiang Fei comes, the coolest place will always be reserved for her.
Arriving at the stall, Jiang Fei took out a bench from the car and posted a missing person notice.
Each booth is not far away, and you can hear the chatter on both sides.
"Now the plants are growing, does that mean the polar day is almost over?"
"It felt like there was air everywhere and the temperature was very comfortable. How should I put it? It felt like spring had arrived."
“Is the apocalypse finally coming to an end?”
"Don't be too happy too soon. Maybe this is a sign of a disaster to come. God won't let us off so easily."
"Alas, it's already the third year of the apocalypse. I don't know when this hard time will end."
Suddenly, there was a thumping sound.
There were several electric tricycles parked on the street diagonally across the street.
There were four or five women sitting in the open-air carriage.
Some were in their thirties, some in their twenties, with different skin colors, and their clothes and hair were neatly groomed.
They all held a plastic prosthesis in their hands.
As the women got off the bus, all the men who were standing on the roadside gathered around them.
Xiao Chuxia, who loves gossip, asked the stall owner next door: "Who are they?"
Stall owner: "A prostitute from Moss City."
"They usually stay in a bungalow in the old alley area. They come out every seven days to find someone to trade with. When they earn enough to survive for a few days, they go back."
"The price is a bit high. You can only choose one girl to have sex with for one pack of noodles."
Xiao Chuxia was stunned: "No one cares about this?"
"It's a transaction between us, so who cares?" the stall owner said indifferently.
"Have you noticed? They all have some physical problems. Either they are missing an arm, or their legs are broken. They are either mentally handicapped or very weak due to illness."
"Most women are naturally weaker than men. If they get injured or sick by accident, it will be even more difficult for them to survive in the apocalypse."
"Moss City has no official military management, and there are no charitable people. If they go to scavenge, their lives will be robbed. How can they survive without selling their bodies?"
At this point, the stall owner sighed:
"These physically disabled women gather together for warmth. At least they won't be bullied by other men and get nothing."
In order to survive, I have no choice.
Xiao Chuxia felt uncomfortable when she heard this, but she found that Jiang Fei beside her was staring straight into the distance.
He followed her line of sight doubtfully, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Miss You Er?!"
The woman who was forcing a smile in the crowd was none other than You Yuxi, whom I hadn't seen for several months.
The once pretty and fair face now looks dark and haggard.
The autumn eyes that should have been bright have become a pool of lifeless stagnant water.
Hearing someone calling her, You Yuxi looked around blankly.
Suddenly, his eyes met Jiang Fei's.
Stunned for a moment.
After hesitating for a moment, You Yuxi still limped over, leaning on the wooden stick.
"Long time no see, Sister Jiang, Sister Chuxia."
The voice became much rougher and hoarser, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of trembling.
Jiang Fei felt a lump in his throat for some reason: "Your legs..."
You Yuxi pretended to be relaxed: "On the day of the tsunami, a tree hit my right leg. I don't know if the bone was broken or shattered. Anyway, after I floated to Moss City, those sisters helped me treat it."
"But I'm left with a sequelae. I can't use my right foot anymore. I'll have to be a cripple for the rest of my life."
As he spoke, You Yuxi pulled up his loose trouser legs, revealing the hideous scar on his calf.
Because it had not received proper treatment, the flesh on its calf was bumpy, larger than its left leg, and its foot was deformed.
It looks like it's swollen.
Seeing the fake jewel in her hand, You Yuxi pursed her lips and said, "Sister Jiang, Sister Chu Xia, will you look down on me?"
"In order to survive and find my brother, father and mother, I chose to do it..."
You Yuxi struggled for a moment, but ultimately did not say those two words, instead she changed to.
"Selling woman."
It’s not like she hasn’t been a scavenger before.
Even though she had to crawl to look for supplies and her hands were covered in blood, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
But...
She was bullied by other scavengers, her hard-earned supplies were robbed, and she was beaten...
Nowhere to go and no one to rely on.
All the fashion design knowledge she had learned before was of no use at all in this world.
She can't survive.
Finally, she embarked on this path.
There is no need for young ladies in the end times, and there is no shortage of people with tragic experiences.
As long as she can stay alive, she will do anything.
Jiang Fei looked at You Yuxi and answered seriously, word by word: "I don't mind. You didn't do anything wrong."
"Do you want to live with me?"
"I can support you."
Yuxi had shown kindness to herself before, and she could repay it in her own way.
You Yuxi refused: "I don't want to cause trouble for you."
"I can support myself."
Hearing this, Jiang Fei did not force her, but took a backpack from the car and gave it to You Yuxi.
There are medicines, guns and ammunition, drinking water and food inside.
And a sturdy trekking pole.
"I live in 301 of the tube building. Lu Yusu Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui live in 302. I come here to set up a stall every day. If you have any questions, come to us."
As if thinking of something, Jiang Fei lowered his voice and said, "Don't go to the refugee area."
"Mo Yan An is there."
You Yuxi's face turned pale: "Thank you, sister..."
"If there is any news about Uncle Jiang and the others, I will tell you."
Carrying the bag on her back, You Yuxi leaned on the trekking pole Jiang Fei had given her and walked to the street diagonally opposite.
After saying something to a man, she followed him.
Jiang Fei didn't know where he went.
"Actually... Yuxi's leg can be cured, but the current medical equipment is incomplete. We have no way of knowing the condition of her bones, so we can't directly perform an implant."
Because of this, Xiao Chuxia didn't say anything just now.
I was afraid of giving You Yuxi hope and then disappointing her.
Xiao Chuxia couldn't help but sigh: "Yuxi should have been carefree all along, but because of a tsunami, she became like this. Fate really plays tricks on us."
"If You Chengyu knew this, he would probably go crazy."
Jiang Fei remained silent.
This is the end of the world.
Ruthless and cruel, it forces people to float in this chaotic world, waiting for an invisible tomorrow.
Not in the mood to sell anymore, Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia closed their stall early and drove home.
There are more and more new shoots growing on the roadside, including colorful buds.
The car window was not closed, and the breeze that blew in was warm and gentle, mixed with a faint scent of grass.
It feels a bit like spring as the stall owner mentioned.
Jiang Fei calculated the days.
It is now late March, just after the spring equinox.
Everything starts to grow, which is normal.
I'm afraid this is God's fault.
As soon as Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia arrived at the tube building, they heard intermittent crying coming from 302.
"I'm sorry, Brother Lu, I hurt you..."
