That evening.
The civilians belonging to the Flower Valley base suddenly discovered that their food included a type of unknown beast meat.
And the taste is absolutely amazing!
Although the quantity was small, they ate to their heart's content!
They thought it was just an accident, but unexpectedly, from that day on, they were able to eat a certain amount of animal meat every day.
Time flies.
Before we knew it, it was the end of January.
Lunar New Year's eve.
Even though it's the end of the world, the Donghu base has started to feel like it's Chinese New Year.
This most important holiday makes everyone forget the suffering they will experience after the end of the world.
Everyone was wearing their most beautiful clothes.
Everyone's face was beaming with smiles.
On this day, [Little Fish's Shop] reduced the price of candy by half.
Although each person was only allowed to buy one or two ounces at a time, the sheer number of buyers meant that several thousand kilograms of candy were quickly sold out.
On this day, people came and went on the streets, greeting each other with smiles and exchanging New Year's blessings.
Children frolic and play among the crowd, holding homemade toys in their hands, their faces beaming with innocent joy.
Some thin women sat at the doorway, watching the lively scene, their eyes glistening with tears of relief.
Despite the relative scarcity of supplies, people still tried their best to make this New Year's Eve more wonderful.
Simple Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the dilapidated door. Even though the red paper looks cheap and the handwriting is a bit crooked, they are full of love for life and hope for the future.
On this day, all the major powers decorated their homes with lanterns and colorful decorations.
The same applies to the Huaxi Valley Base No. 2.
Red lanterns were everywhere in the base.
On the large playground, supplies were piled up like mountains.
Whether soldiers or ordinary civilians, everyone happily received their New Year's gifts.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wu, along with four women, was happily decorating his small villa.
Sheng Huaiqiang also accompanied Chen Lin as they decorated their house.
Next to his house, Li Zecheng had his arm around Zeng Ning's shoulder as they looked at their own house with smiles on their faces.
A few days ago, Jiang Wu ordered that more than a thousand civilians be transported back to Huaxi Valley Resort.
They also brought the partners of the senior executives to the Donghu base.
This would make it easier for them to reunite with their families.
Then, Sheng Huaiqiang's woman Chen Lin arrived, Li Zecheng's wife Zeng Ning arrived, and Wu Ming's girlfriend Wu Qianqian also arrived.
It is worth mentioning that Lü Qi, who had been promoted to platoon leader of the special operations platoon, begged his leader to bring Yu Beibei over.
Jiang Wu agreed.
On the other side, Lü Qi, holding a large bouquet of fake flowers, found Yu Beibei and, amidst the cheers of the special forces platoon members, knelt down on one knee to confess his love to her.
"Beibei, be my woman! I had a crush on you for several years back in college, but I wasn't capable enough then. Now, I've transformed myself and become the platoon leader of the special operations platoon. I'm confident I can take good care of you."
Looking at Lü Qi's sincere face, Yu Beibei sobbed through her tears, "Do I really deserve this from you? Do you know what happened to me after the apocalypse? Besides, there are plenty of women in the base who are prettier than me."
Lu Qi said earnestly, "I know! But I don't care. I don't want any other women."
Finally, Yu Beibei nodded and took the bouquet of artificial flowers.
She said emotionally, "If you meet a pure girl, it's okay to find another one."
Lu Qi shook his head and said earnestly, "In my heart, you are the purest, truly!"
Suddenly, more than twenty cannons were fired by the special forces members, and Lü Qi and Yu Beibei were simultaneously enveloped in countless fireworks.
Amidst countless envious glances, Yu Beibei was suddenly embraced by Lü Qi.
After they left, the civilians who had been watching nearby began to discuss, "That man was the platoon leader of our base's special operations platoon. He had more than sixty men under his command, all of whom were evolved beings, also known as the new humans. This woman is so lucky."
"Well, who can blame us for her pure and beautiful appearance? We're just hoping that one day we'll get lucky and become evolved beings. Recently, our base has already seen more than twenty new evolved beings."
"Don't envy them. We are living a very good life now. Think about it yourselves. What kind of life did we live before the leader and the others came? If it weren't for the leader, we might have starved or frozen to death long ago."
"Haha, that makes sense! These days, it doesn't feel like the end of the world at all."
"It is because of our leader leading the soldiers of the field support regiment to carry on despite the heavy burden that we enjoy such a good life!"
"Being able to join our base is truly our greatest fortune!"
“I feel like crying when I think about this. Of the four of us in my family, only my daughter and I escaped to the base. She sneaked off to the lakeside and got eaten. Now I'm all alone. Sigh.”
"If you ask me, let's not get sentimental yet, I wish you all a Happy New Year!"
Haha, Happy New Year!
As night falls, the Donghu base is bathed in warm light.
Led by the Huaxi Valley base, all the survivors at the Donghu base began their New Year's Eve celebration.
From Huaxi Valley Base No. 2, countless fireworks soared into the sky and bloomed in the night sky.
Whether they were ordinary people from the shantytown or people from other factions, they all stared blankly at the magnificent colors in the sky.
The light from the fireworks shone on everyone's faces, and that moment of brilliance seemed to illuminate the hope in their hearts.
The civilians in the shantytown had tears of emotion in their eyes; they had never imagined that they could see such a beautiful sight in this harsh, post-apocalyptic world.
