The next day, everyone arrived at the store early and cleaned it up inside and out. Xu Lin and Li Jingjing settled everyone's wages together in the store and said goodbye to everyone.
After everyone left, Xu Lin asked Li Jingjing to take out her ID card and deposited points into her account. Li Jingjing did not refuse, and the two chatted for a while before going home.
These past few days, Zhou Pin has been busy buying new seeds for the base. Buying too many at once could easily attract the attention of the authorities, so in addition to buying them himself, Zhou Pin is also acquiring them from the base's survivors.
After Li Jingjing left, Zhou Pin drove a truck over, and the two of them loaded all the books from the bookstore onto the truck and then transported them out of the base.
Finding a secluded spot, Xu Lin stored all the books in her spatial storage and placed them together with the other books.
Going back too early would arouse suspicion, so the two decided to drive around the base.
Nearly a year has passed without any natural disasters. This is not because the end of the world has ended, but because the places Xu Lin and her group passed through happened to be free of natural disasters.
For example, the cleaning lady in the bookstore is from the south. When she came here, the south was experiencing acid rain, which fell once a day for two hours each time.
Before the acid rain, the area had been suffering from drought for a long time, so everyone was excited to see the rain and rushed outdoors. As you can imagine, they were all burned by the acid rain.
Because of acid rain, both buildings and land there were damaged, and my aunt's family came to the Northwest Base with their fellow villagers.
Other places are experiencing other disasters, such as floods, typhoons, earthquakes, etc., and the news has been blocked by the authorities. Zhou Pin only occasionally heard others talking about it because he worked at the base.
The two walked around the base. The weather was still quite cold, and it was only the end of January, but some grass had already sprouted.
Xu Lin got out of the car and dug up a few small plants to put in her space; this had become a habit of hers. Every time she saw a plant, she would put some in her space.
Back at the base, it was already dark. Zhou Pin went to cook, while Xu Lin lay on the sofa petting the dog.
The shop was closed, and the "mascots" had lost their value, leaving the two dogs feeling very down.
Before dawn the next day, Shuke and Beta came up to the second floor and banged on the door. Zhou Pin opened the door and found the two dogs looking a bit agitated, so he woke Xu Lin up.
“Shuke and Beta are a bit irritable, and I feel like something might be about to happen,” Zhou Pin said.
Xu Lin immediately got up, drew back the curtains, and saw that it was just dawn outside. Everything was the same as before, and there was no sign of a natural disaster.
However, Xu Lin still trusted Shuke and Beta more; animals are more perceptive than humans when faced with natural disasters.
Zhou Pin called Sun Wei and told him about Shuke and Beta's unusual behavior, so they could be prepared.
In the morning, the two of them tore down everything in their house that they could. It was all their hard work, and Xu Lin felt extremely distressed.
Because Xu Lin owns a shop, she has social media accounts with many wealthy people in the base. So, during lunch, she saw many rich kids saying online that their pets were very irritable.
Some people said it was going to be another natural disaster, others said he was a jinx, but most people still believed him.
Panic gripped the base. Everyone guessed that another natural disaster was coming, but they didn't know what kind of disaster it was or where they could escape to.
Many people have lost interest in working and are staying at home every day waiting for natural disasters to strike.
At this point, the base officials had to step in to calm everyone down, saying that experts predicted there would be no natural disasters in the near future, and that everyone could work with peace of mind, assuring everyone that the base stood with the survivors.
