Paradise on Earth
Xu Lu has been a landlord for quite some time. Although she is small in stature, she is full of enthusiasm and is busy helping out all day long. She is quite knowledgeable and looks quite professional.
Based on her previous experience, she categorized the rooms into several price levels, catering to residents of all circumstances. Furthermore, the hotel was free, so maintenance costs were low, only slightly more expensive than a shack.
Ye Miaomiao simply hired Xu Lu, and the residents quickly decided on the location of the new hotel, the Golden Light Hotel, based on the conditions of their previous shacks.
The only problem is...the Golden Light Hotel is not far from the central territory, but it is not close either.
Normally, it's fine, but in extreme weather, being outdoors is considered foolish. How can you get to a hotel? It's enough to be a worry.
"How about...staying in the hotel or hospital for today? Wait until the temperature drops and then..." suggested Xu Lu, the new hotel manager.
"There's not even enough room for two hundred people to sit, how can we have them sleep?" Ye Miaomiao shook her head, thinking of a way.
She flipped open the screen and found the "Tourist Sightseeing Bus" in the "Scenic Sights" interface. Since the game described this as a "fairyland on earth," running a sightseeing bus in a fairyland on earth should be... simple, right?
At this time, Peeta was squatting beside his grandmother. The elderly woman was weak and frightened, and had acquired the negative state of "dying". A kind-hearted person gave them a seat.
Grandmother couldn't stop thanking him, but she sighed. The twists and turns she'd experienced in most of her life hadn't been as numerous as one doomsday, and the gratitude she'd felt in half a lifetime hadn't been as profound as these one or two events.
"The more someone helps you in times of crisis, the more you should remember them, especially when they're having a hard time. It's different here than where we are. In times of disaster, everyone helps each other. Peeta, I hope you can be a good kid and help others, too."
My grandmother has seen many deaths and deaths these days, and she feels that she doesn't have much time left, so she gave me earnest advice.
Peeta nodded heavily, his eyes red.
The two of them had very little savings, and the cheapest shack they had booked didn't even have furniture. Now the Golden Light Hotel has better construction quality and larger rooms, so more people can fit into one room, and the price is much cheaper when shared out.
The grandparents and grandchildren have already agreed to live together with a large family from the neighborhood.
"Peeta, come and get the ginger soup to keep you warm. It's a secret recipe of the Orientals. It will warm you up all over." The neighbor's uncle waved him over.
Grandma's eyes were half-lidded, half asleep, and Peeta quietly walked away. He took the hot soup, clutching the bowl tightly, and the scalding heat gave him a shudder.
"I heard that the hotel is very far away. It will take at least half an hour to walk there in this weather." The neighbor's aunt turned her head and said.
The point is, in this kind of weather, how can people who are already weak and sickly get through?
"This weather is really terrible. Just on the way here, the dense snow and strong wind made it hard for me to breathe. I swallowed several mouthfuls of wind, and my stomach is still full. I feel like I'm going to die in there. Forget walking for half an hour, even five minutes is hard to do."
Someone next to me said.
In the crowded yet quiet hall of the clinic, everyone around nodded, feeling uneasy.
The bigger problem is that many people already have a negative condition of "weak body and multiple illnesses", and they have received a warning that they are dying after just walking for a few minutes.
There were precedents of people dying unexpectedly before, so no one dared to take it lightly.
Margaret has seen more and summed up an experience - when you receive a death notice, you must act immediately according to the prompts, otherwise death may come at any time.
And when they are reminded that they need to "rest well," where can they rest? Home lies ahead, but they can't get there. With no fixed place to stay, they are still adrift like duckweed.
For some special people, staying here forever means chronic death.
Peeta felt like he was off the ground. He clutched the soup bowl tightly, and his palms ached, but he finally felt a sense of relief.
The neighbor's aunt was about to get worried, but when she turned around and saw Arthur's pale face, she knew he was worried about his grandmother, so she sighed and turned into comfort: "It's okay, the temperature will only drop for one day. Think about it, we were on our way yesterday and avoided this day. Everyone is fine."
"If it really doesn't work, we can stay in the clinic for one night. We can just stay awake and make a bed for Auntie to rest..."
As she spoke, she couldn't continue and sighed deeply.
"I'll give it to my grandmother." Peeta didn't want to say anything else, so he hurried away and squatted beside his grandmother, unable to speak.
He thought he had made a good choice, but Doomsday told him that no matter what choice he made, Doomsday would be a disaster for everyone and no one could escape it.
He might become an orphan, or perhaps he would be the next. This hateful natural disaster didn't intend for anyone to survive! Is it really possible for humans to... face a natural disaster?
From time to time, a deafening rumble was heard, and exclamations of surprise were heard at the door of the clinic.
Peeta looked hesitantly. A moment later, the neighbor's brother returned, beaming with good news: "Great! The overlord said we couldn't make it, so he sent a car to pick us up! It's a truly antique steam car! For us now, it's the latest high-tech!"
"We don't have to go to the restaurant to buy food. We can buy food at the Golden Light Hotel. Although the special building charges are higher, it's always good to have food to eat on a day like this!"
Peeta was overjoyed. There was such good news!
He quickly stood up, and then saw someone at the door calling out to the person who was "dying" to go first, go back early to eat, dress, and lie down, so as to avoid any accidents.
The ginger soup in my hand finally warmed up and was ready to drink.
All good news comes in pairs, and Peeta quickly wakes up his grandmother. Even in her daze, she sees Peeta's bright smile and can't help but smile too.
The steam carriage was rather heavy, and could only seat about ten people. Peeta finally caught a ride with his grandmother on the third trip, and arrived at the Golden Light Hotel under the smiling eyes of his neighbors.
When getting on the bus, a neighbor's family helped support the grandmother. When getting off the bus, the relatives of the patients who had arrived earlier to rest in the lobby of the Golden Light Hotel came to help, even though Peeta didn't know them.
"Look out for each other. Someone even helped me with my luggage outside! I got here first and have everything packed. I have nothing to do now."
Peeta felt an immense surge of gratitude in his heart and thanked him repeatedly.
Everything is getting better, he thought. His decision to come to Hungheng might have been right or wrong, but one thing was certain: the people here didn't hate each other. Because of this, they could support each other and get through the disaster.
There were many people on the verge of death. Ye Miaomiao sighed, but she could do nothing. People are always vulnerable in the face of natural disasters. All she could do was try to stock up on food so that she could survive.
People are always the core of development. As long as they are alive, they can always develop high technology and complete the game.
It took about two hundred people more than an hour to complete the transportation.
While waiting, Ye Miaomiao continued to look at the "tourist scenery" buildings, and then she discovered that the tourist scenery buildings were of the "expansion pack" type, adding "flavor" to the original buildings.
She originally didn't have a sightseeing bus, but she could add a building for a sightseeing bus and a sightseeing station.
But some of her "cake shops", "dwarf taverns" and "resident markets" can overlap with "summer cafes", "music bars" and "food markets", so she only needs to add the latter to the former.
The "Summer Café" offers a two-story building with a balcony, flowers and plants that bloom all year round, and white French round tables and stools.
Two additional NPCs and some coffee tree seeds are provided. The cake shop can also sell coffee, which has the effect of increasing work efficiency.
The "Music Bar" is as its name suggests, and provides two additional music-playing NPCs who can produce the simplest instruments.
The "Food Market" is a well-planned blueprint, with each shop's facade having a unified style. As long as you pay points, the merchant's food can increase its effect by 30%.
These expansions required relatively few resources, so Ye Miaomiao simply piled them all onto the buildings.
As the buildings changed, Ye Miaomiao also received a new message -
[Congratulations, you have successfully owned six "Tourism Scenery" buildings. After reaching nine buildings, you will activate "Tourism Scenery" (Intermediate). Keep working hard to build a paradise on earth!]
Ye Miaomiao: “…” Once again questioning the credibility of the paradise on earth.
Coffee, like wine, can increase work efficiency. And the last familiar ingredient, "tea," hasn't appeared yet. Ye Miaomiao wasn't in a hurry and gave two seeds to Li Mu to cultivate—it would take some time for them to grow into saplings!
Today was not a good day to go out. After finishing all this, Ye Miaomiao went back to her room and started a fire. She also asked Zhang Jiajia to cook some spicy hot pot and send it to the employees who were still on duty today.
The first day of temperature drop passed without any major problems. The bad news was that until the evening, Ye Miaomiao had not received any news from "Xinghua Village".
I was anxious, but it was not a good idea to go out today, so I could only wait until tomorrow.
On the eighth day in the frozen snowfield, the temperature dropped to minus twenty degrees Celsius.
The intense blizzard and strange winds stopped, and visibility finally improved.
The tiny hailstorms continued, and now not only did the houses need constant maintenance, but the durability of people's clothes also decreased faster, and cloaks became a necessity.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the sky was still as dark as dusk, and the darkness pressed down on our heads, making it hard to breathe.
The snow was knee-high and the ground was impassable.
Fortunately, Ye Miaomiao had made preparations. The snowplow workers selected earlier were now put to use, and the snowplow machine she had been researching also had a prototype. All of this was recorded in the night watch center and managed by the night watchmen.
After finishing breakfast, Ye Miaomiao reluctantly walked to the training ground. Her face darkened: "There is an ally who needs our help."
.
In prison, the two people from Tianyi Village finally couldn't hold it in anymore and spoke.
Compared to the two previous people, they were considered older, so they knew more.
It turns out that Shen Guang actually has its own "life". The so-called genetic modification is nothing more than transforming the original object into a host that is more conducive to Shen Guang's life. The quality of this "host" is more advanced than the original humans and primitive buildings, so it is called "improvement".
The walls, transformed by the divine light, came alive. The training camp, the kitchen, everything came alive, a wall of flesh on every side. Sometimes, the people of Tianyi Village didn't know whether they were living in a territory or in the stomach of a monster.
These structures produce everything humanity needs, requiring only... flesh and blood.
Under such circumstances, no matter how horrific the event, it was all within Ye Miaomiao's imagination. Murder, cannibalism, anyone could become food, even... openly allowing someone to become food.
The people living in it can no longer be called human beings. They have regarded killing as a sacred thing. After all, the entire territory has come back to life. The entire territory is comforting the residents, and in the face of survival, it is nothing more than killing.
They annexed the remaining seven territories in the original area, obtaining a large amount of flesh and blood, much of which they stored as reserve food in the underground prison. Unfortunately, these resources were still insufficient to meet the needs of the territories.
The residents can no longer stop, because if they stop, they will be the ones who will be eaten.
After arriving in the first district, they first set their sights on the neighboring Xinghua Village.
Xinghua Village was relatively weak, but unexpectedly it was a tough nut to crack, so they turned their attention to hungry hungry.
...
After listening to the two people's analysis, everyone was shocked, incredulous, and even more angry. There were such horrible, terrible, and evil things in the world! And these things were all done by people around them -
Yes, Tianyizhuang and E E E are from the same place, and they should be fellow villagers.
When fellow villagers meet, there are no tears in their eyes. Old friends are like this, but they are gone. What are the fellow villagers of the past like now?
