Chapter 55: Gotta do something meaningful
The work of building the wall is nearing completion. We are working under the scorching sun, our clothes are soaked, and we are exhausted.
But after seeing the rabbits brought back by the three people, they were all motivated again. As expected, there is always a way out. What's wrong with zombies? As long as people are alive, they can overcome all difficulties!
There were many rabbits in the space, and Liang Yingsheng asked Grandma Chen to help raise them on the grounds that his family didn't know how to raise rabbits.
After all, Grandma Chen had experienced beatings in the old society, and her life experience was unmatched by others.
After a busy day, the family closed the door and entered the space, preparing to eat hot pot in the evening.
Liang Qiuwen built a bamboo shed by the pond, brought in tables and chairs and placed hot pot ingredients on it. He ate hot pot while enjoying the scenery. His life was so comfortable.
"One of the pigs is pregnant. When the piglets are born, we'll kill the two fattest ones to make sausages and bacon. The pigpen space is limited, and we don't need to raise that many pigs for our family of four."
Zhou Lanxin suggested.
Liang Yingsheng had a limited stock of bacon and sausages, and since there were no social activities in the apocalypse, he could pickle bacon and stuff sausages while watching TV series when he had nothing to do.
Before the end of the world, Liang Yingsheng spent an entire night downloading a dozen USB flash drives filled with TV shows, movies, variety shows, and even the annual Spring Festival Gala and concerts of his favorite stars.
Seeing Liang Zhimo preparing hot pot dipping sauce in the kitchen, Liang Yingsheng came over with a USB drive and handed it to him mysteriously, "Here, sister, I prepared this specially for you?"
Liang Zhimo looked puzzled: "I can just watch it with my mom."
"No, if you watch this with Mom, I'll definitely skin you alive!"
Is it that serious?
Seeing Liang Yingsheng's lewd smile, a light bulb went off in his head. Just as he caught a certain message, Liang Yingsheng's slightly teasing voice sounded again: "I'm doing this for your own good. It's okay to watch it alone in your room, but I suggest that you find a girlfriend and watch it together. Study more. The apocalypse is boring, how can you not do something meaningful, don't you agree?"
“…”
As if holding a hot potato, Liang Zhimo quickly returned the USB drive to Liang Yingsheng, "Don't bother with my affairs. If you have nothing to do, find yourself a partner first."
"I can't do that. I'm a ruthless person and it's easy for me to defeat the opponent. But you, as a man of the Liang family, have to continue the Liang family's incense. My old Liang family cannot die out with you. Otherwise, you will be a sinner for all eternity!"
After saying that, she patted Liang Yingsheng on the shoulder and stuffed the USB drive into his trouser pocket. "My dear brother, come on, I will always be your strong support."
But looking around, there are only two families in the whole mountain, and the other family has a son.
Liang Zhimo’s marriage is not easy to resolve!
With his hands behind his back, Liang Yingsheng shook his head.
At night, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, followed by a strong wind. The leaves were rustling and the wind was so strong that it whistled on the glass.
The Liang family was sleeping when they were awakened by a series of rapid knocks on the door.
Liang Yingsheng rubbed his sleepy eyes and went to open the door. It was Yuan Rong, wrapped in a thin blanket and holding an umbrella. "Shengsheng, I'm Uncle Yuan. A bus has come down the mountain and is parked over by the grain station."
Liang Yingsheng's mind suddenly became clear. Seeing Yuan Rong coming over with slander, he must be afraid of being discovered by those uninvited guests.
The others woke up as well. Upon hearing this, Liang Qiuwen consoled them, "They might be residents who moved away from Youai Town. We'll just have to deal with them. Youai Town isn't ours. As long as they don't clash with us, that's fine."
"Yes, Brother Yuan, you should go back first. I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily tonight. Let's talk about it after we wake up. The grain station is still so far away from us. They don't know we're there in the dark. Let's see what happens tomorrow."
Yuan Rong nodded, but his eyes were full of worry.
Liang Yingsheng could only give a reassurance, "Uncle Yuan, have you forgotten that I have a gun? Bullets have no eyes, and anyone who dares to mess around will be shot dead."
It’s the end of the world anyway, who cares about murder and arson?
As soon as Yuan Rong left, Zhou Lanxin immediately locked the door. The family sat together in the living room, and the sound of the wind whistling outside the window was loud and a bit creepy.
"It's okay if they used to live in Youai Town. At least they know everything about us. I'm just worried that the criminal groups organized by those survivors will set their sights on our mountain."
Seeing Zhou Lanxin's hesitation, Liang Zhimo patted her back and said, "Don't worry, Mom. As for the bus, I think it might be a survivor organization. There are many empty houses in Youai Town that haven't been demolished. It's normal for those homeless survivors to move in."
"That's right, there's strength in numbers. We just need to take care of our own family. During this time, try not to go to Shengsheng's space. That's a heaven-defying existence. If we are discovered, we will all be finished."
It’s hard to say whether it will be completed or not, but Liang Yingsheng knows that she is very likely to be taken away for experiments.
The thought of himself being plugged with tubes gave Liang Yingsheng goosebumps. "It's okay, just be careful. Don't worry, Mom. Uncle Yuan and Dad have blocked all the roads leading to our homes."
Zhou Lanxin sighed and simply pulled Liang Qiuwen to sleep on the floor in the living room.
Liang Yingsheng had no choice but to take out a folding bed for the two of them to use.
As soon as the wind died down, it began to rain heavily.
The rain was heavy, comparable to the previous torrential rain in Jiangcheng.
Fortunately, the terrain halfway up the mountain is high, so there is no need to worry about flooding. There are many trees in the mountains, and this area is not an area where mudslides frequently occur.
However, Liang Yingsheng remained vigilant at all times, and would take his family into hiding if there was any sign of trouble.
It rained heavily all night. When I woke up in the morning, the air was filled with the smell of earth and everything was wet.
In the early morning, fog began to rise in the mountains. Standing in the yard and looking down, it was almost impossible to see what was happening near the grain station building.
The grain station building has four floors. The older generation said that the building was built for people who worked at the grain station, so everyone called it the grain station building.
Liang Yingsheng was holding a high-powered telescope, and even with his eyes nearly blinded, he could barely see a few figures.
It was difficult to tell whether it was a man or a woman, but it was certain that someone was living in the grain station building.
Grandma Chen and her family were also standing in the yard. It was raining heavily. Fortunately, they had brought some umbrellas when they went to the supermarket to buy supplies yesterday.
"It's raining now and the mountain roads are hard to walk on. I guess when the rain stops, those people will start scavenging everywhere and will find us soon."
The courtyard wall is newly built and very clean. You can tell at a glance that these two houses are occupied.
To get to the Liang family, one must first pass by Grandma Chen's house. Liang Yingsheng did not stay there long and went back to his room to continue watching the soap opera.
Life before the end of the world was so beautiful. I hardly watched any soap operas in the past two years. Now that I catch up with them, I suddenly find them quite good.
At least, it’s fun to watch the male and female protagonists fall in love sweetly!
For lunch, each of us cooked a bowl of noodles. The rain outside was getting lighter and lighter, and now it had turned into a drizzle.
"Lan Xin, quickly tell your family, someone is walking towards where we live!"
Is anyone there? It's so quiet.
