Memories of her previous life overwhelmed her.
When I was little, my dad would hug my mom and call her "wife".
She and her brother Si Jie had a lot of fights since they were little, always causing chaos.
It's fair to say that a large part of her fighting skills were honed through practice at home.
But if she does something wrong, her brother will step in to take the blame. If she tries to apologize, her brother will give her a fierce look and scold her back.
Then he would offer her snacks to appease her.
How did things change later?
She recalled that in the days leading up to the apocalypse, news videos showed many people biting each other.
The older brother, who was a clerk, called home and asked his parents to prepare plenty of water and food, and to seal the doors and windows with steel plates.
My brother called me, even though I was at university, and told me to come home right away.
Fortunately, her university was local, so she didn't have to take a train or plane.
But by then, there were no taxis or buses on the road.
She rented a shared bicycle and rode home.
But on her way home, a red rain fell, and she got completely soaked while riding a shared bicycle.
The rain gave her a high fever, but it also granted her supernatural abilities.
Si Yan closed her eyes, the blood-red memories enveloping her.
She bought a lot of medicine from a pharmacy near her home and brought it home. Her mother bought many bags of food from the supermarket, but she didn't have enough strength and could only carry two or three buckets of water.
The father nailed the windows shut with steel plates.
Mom shouted, "Not enough water!" and then filled the bucket with tap water.
However, the tap water is red.
Si Yan quickly pulled her mother away, telling her not to answer.
She and her mother planned to go downstairs to buy water again, but there were already so many people buying water that the supermarket's water and food were quickly sold out.
A person bit someone in the supermarket.
Si Yan quickly took her mother back home...
As soon as they got home, their father nailed the front door shut with steel plates.
Seeing that she didn't have much food and water stored at home, enough for only two or three days, Si Yan called Si Jie.
"Brother, there have been people biting people in the neighborhood, and Dad has nailed the door shut."
"We don't have enough food; it will only last us four or five days. When will you be back?"
Si Jie's worried voice came through, "Yan Yan, you guys hang in there, I'll try to get back."
"elder brother……"
Si Yan seemed to hear a muffled groan from the other end of the phone.
Si Yan asked anxiously, "Brother, what's wrong?!"
Her parents, who were surrounding her, suddenly exclaimed in alarm, "Yanyan, what's wrong? Your face looks so red, and you feel so hot!"
She had a fever and stayed at home for three days and three nights.
At that moment, listening to the muffled groans coming from the phone, Si Yan actually suspected that Si Jie might have been bitten and infected.
Three days later, Si Yan awakened two superpowers: wood-based and spatial abilities.
She felt reassured that she could survive and was overjoyed, planning to tell her family about it. As she stepped out of her room, she saw Si Jie standing unharmed before her family.
Si Jie looked up at her with a smile: "Yan Yan, I heard you had a fever. Humans who get a fever after being caught in the red rain will awaken superpowers. What superpower did you awaken?"
He looked the same as before, but Si Yan felt that something was different.
In the end, she instinctively kept a backup plan.
She replied with a smile, "Brother, I've awakened my wood-type ability."
...
"Yanyan, Yanyan."
Si Yan was brought back to her senses by the snake-beastman, and the two arms wrapped around him tightened even more.
Did her brother, who she had never gotten along with since childhood but who protected her when things went wrong, change his mind around that time?
The third day.
Yin Hong and his group finished up the work at the wine shop, making chairs and benches. They also dug a pit a little further away from the wine shop and built a toilet as Si Yan had instructed, hanging up a sign in the shape of an orc to distinguish between the male and female toilets.
Three days passed, and Tyson still hadn't brought Xiqing and Beiji back, which made Siyan worried.
Finding people in a world where science is underdeveloped is not easy.
Fortunately, the beastmen have a very good sense of smell.
She took Wang with her and wandered around the City of Ten Thousand Beasts. Perhaps Xi Qing and Bei Ji would smell her scent and come back to find her.
Walking on the streets of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts, Si Yan saw some orc cubs running around and playing.
Si Yan stopped her and asked about Xi Qing and Bei Ji.
The orc cub didn't know.
Si Yan was a little disappointed. She sighed and took out a few pieces of dried fruit that she had made earlier. Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, she coaxed, "Kids, if you do Auntie a favor, you can have these snacks, okay?"
These dried fruits were made by Si Yan herself, and they look especially delicious.
The orc cubs were drooling.
Si Yan smiled and said, "You need to do two things for your aunt. First, if you see two anaconda beastman cubs, one of whom is wearing a silver mask, tell them that their mother is looking for them."
The orc cubs nodded.
"Secondly, Auntie will teach you a nursery rhyme. Remember it, and then sing it while you play. Okay?"
"Great! Great!" the orc cubs exclaimed happily.
Si Yan smiled and said:
"A small tavern in a corner of the west city"
It has a sweet, mellow, and delicious flavor.
A burp and a fart from alcohol.
Enjoy the moment while you can.
Si Yan thought for a moment, then continued teaching:
"A corner of the western city"
A small shop on the second floor.
A bowl of wine costs three coins.
"Living like a god."
"Did you remember?"
The children happily replied, "We've got it!"
Si Yan distributed a large handful of dried fruit to the crowd.
The kids didn't feel cheated at all; they were very happy singing nursery rhymes and playing.
Perhaps because the nursery rhyme was quite catchy, it quickly spread throughout the City of Beasts.
"Have you heard? There's a tavern in the west of town."
"What nonsense are you talking about? There are no brewers in this world, so where would there be taverns? Stop joking around. Alas, what a pity, I've never even had a bowl of wine in my entire life. If I ever have the chance, I'll definitely save up a lot of money so I can at least have a bowl of wine."
"I've heard people who've tasted it describe how it tastes. Tsk tsk tsk, I'm so envious. I really want to get drunk myself. It's a pity, the brewers are all gone, where can we find wine now?"
"But it's true! Listen to what the children are singing. A little tavern in the corner of the west side, enjoy the moment while you can."
The orc suddenly sat up. "You mean, a new brewer has appeared in Beast City?? This... this can't be right."
