Due to the importance and scarcity of fuel, bicycles became the main mode of transportation in the Second Revitalization City.
Gasoline-powered cars and electric cars are things that only the middle and upper classes can afford.
Chen Xinyang was originally eligible to apply for the use of fuel-powered vehicles and electric vehicles.
However, this place is not far from the villa, only a few minutes away by bicycle, so Chen Xinyang still prefers to save those resources.
Having lived in the apocalypse for over a year, he had long since become accustomed to conserving all resources as much as possible.
Even though he is now the acting vice minister of the Ministry of Military Industry.
It was dark, but under the dim streetlights, many staff members were still working hard.
Some were clearly engaged in emergency repairs of various power facilities.
Judging from their clothes, they are clearly from the Ministry of Electric Power.
Many more people were cleaning up the mutated plants and the almost ubiquitous moss.
The clothes they wore all had the words "Sanitation Department" on them.
Each of them had a smile on their face and a look of satisfaction.
Seeing the anticipation in their eyes for a better future, Chen Xinyang couldn't help but smile.
If it weren't for his busy work schedule, he would really like to ride his bicycle all over the streets and alleys of the Second Fuxing City.
He wanted to see every corner of the city clearly.
I also wanted to see clearly the smiles on everyone's faces.
Sometimes he even couldn't help but want to kneel down, kiss the earth, and express his heartfelt gratitude to the leader.
It was the leader who led his elite warriors to reclaim the city from over a million zombies!
It is the leader who makes everyone's life better and better, and gives them more and more hope!
"Minister Chen!"
At the entrance to the villa area, two armed guards from the Discipline Inspection Commission greeted Chen Xinyang respectfully.
Chen Xinyang responded to each one with a smile.
He was filled with emotion. After struggling in the apocalypse for more than a year, he never imagined that he would be addressed as "Minister".
I never imagined that one day I could live in such a safe villa area.
After turning a few corners, Chen Xinyang saw Wang Ziqi's small white villa.
On the neatly trimmed lawn in front of the door, her daughter Chen Li and several children adopted by Wang Ziqi were polishing bone fragments.
These bone fragments are taken from the bodies of level four evolved pigs and can be polished into arrowheads and other items.
Because bone fragments are extremely hard, and the military industry has very limited processing equipment, they must be used to process more critical items.
Therefore, Lady Ziling directly ordered that some less important but large-scale items could be roughly processed first, and then handed over to ordinary people for polishing.
So now, in the Second Revival City, many residents, apart from their regular jobs, go to the Ministry of Military Industry to collect these fragments and polishing materials when they have free time, and polish them according to the requirements.
Finally, it was returned to the Ministry of Military Industry, and a certain amount of compensation was received.
"dad"
Uncle Chen
Chen Li and several other children shouted out.
Chen Xinyang smiled and nodded, parked his bicycle, and asked with a grin, "How was it? Was it difficult to polish?"
Chen Li, who is now sixteen years old, nodded and said, "It's very difficult. My hands hurt so much."
Chen Xinyang smiled and patted his daughter's head.
Chen Li glanced to the side, then pulled Chen Xinyang's hand aside and whispered, "Dad, if you like Sister Ziqi, don't be so reserved. Just confess your feelings sooner rather than later. You know what? I've only been here for an hour, and six guys have already come over, three of whom have confessed their feelings."
Chen Xinyang was stunned. He stared blankly at Chen Li and stammered, "You...I...what nonsense are you talking about...what the hell?"
Chen Li rolled her eyes at Chen Xinyang and whispered, "Dad, don't always treat me like a child. When we were in the outer city of Guanghui City, I could tell that you had feelings for Sister Ziqi. Otherwise, why would you always go to her house and share some of the good food you get with her?"
Chen Xinyang quickly shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I was just thinking about how hard it was for your sister Ziqi, raising so many children..."
Chen Li couldn't help but roll her eyes and said irritably, "Dad, there were so many people who had a hard time back then, and I didn't see you helping them."
Chen Xinyang fell silent.
Chen Li leaned close to Chen Xinyang's ear and whispered, "Dad, you don't mind what Sister Ziqi did before, do you? But she had no choice back then, you know that."
Chen Xinyang shook his head, sighed and said, "I am already 44 years old, while your sister Ziqi is only 24 years old and beautiful. Moreover, your sister Ziqi is one of Lady Ziling's confidantes. I am not good enough for her."
Chen Li was just about to speak.
A child shouted, "Uncle Chen, Sister Pear, dinner's ready!"
Chen Li glared at Chen Xinyang and said irritably, "Dad, you used to be a national-level scientific backbone, and now you're the acting vice minister of the Ministry of Military Industry. Can't you have a little more confidence? You'll regret it when Ziqi gets chased away by someone else!"
After saying that, she walked directly towards the villa.
Chen Xinyang remained silent for a few seconds, then sighed.
Inside the villa, a large round table was set with many drinks and candies.
There were only a few dishes on the table, but the portions were very generous.
A large pot of Level 4 evolved pork and liver stew, stir-fried wild vegetables, stir-fried bean sprouts, braised Level 1 rat meat, stir-fried cured pork with garlic sprouts, and stir-fried cured pork with mushrooms.
Every resident who migrates from Radiant City and Nuclear Defense Base 101 to the Second Revival City can enjoy three days of free Level 4 Evolution pork and pork offal.
However, once three days have passed, they will no longer be eligible.
If you want to consume it again, you can only exchange it with work points, and only soldiers of the Restoration Army and personnel from various departments are eligible to exchange it.
Only high-level employees can have a certain amount of free quota.
Chen Xinyang, Wang Ziqi, and others were among the earliest immigrants to the Second Fuxing City.
Therefore, there are not many Grade 4 pork and Grade 4 pork liver on the table.
Even though Wang Ziqi is now in a high position, she can only receive a small portion.
Chen Xinyang's share is also included.
Otherwise, there will be even less.
Even so, less than a pound of Grade 4 pork and pork liver, stewed into a large pot of soup, still smelled incredibly fragrant.
Chen Li and the children kept swallowing their saliva.
In addition, there was a cake-like pastry with several birthday candles stuck on it.
Wang Ziqi is lighting the birthday candles.
Upon seeing Chen Xinyang enter, she greeted him with a smile, "Brother Chen."
Chen Xinyang was somewhat dazed by Wang Ziqi's smile.
I just feel that Wang Ziqi looks better now.
He swallowed hard, smiled, and said casually, "You've really worked hard and gone to great lengths to cook so many dishes, Ziqi."
Wang Ziqi smiled and said, "I've been thinking that we haven't celebrated for so long, so let's take advantage of Xiao Ding's birthday to celebrate this good day together."
Just then, a little girl chimed in, "Uncle Chen, Sister Ziqi became an evolved being this afternoon! This is triple celebration!"
