Not everyone can be like Jiao Nanmu, who met Xu Bai not long after arriving in the apocalypse and was taken to the base by Xu Bai.
night.
Xu Qing gripped the steering wheel tightly, his expression stubborn, tears in his eyes but no tears fell.
Sitting in the passenger seat was her mother, He Minxing, who also looked nervous. She held the seat belt with one hand and looked at the zombies coming towards them with a pale face.
"Mom, don't be afraid. We'll be fine."
Xu Qing's father died in the line of duty. Xu Qing and He Minxing lived together since childhood. He Minxing also never married. When the end of the world came, they were staying with relatives. Therefore, they supported each other along the way and fled together. Together they prepared to go to the base built by the army.
But the food was scarce the next day, and her uncle and aunt's family disliked her and her mother for taking up the food they had received.
With the appetite of two people, if we save a little, we can provide breakfast for my uncle and aunt's family of four.
They were driven out.
Xu Qing stole a car and drove away with He Minxing.
She didn't know where her destination was, nor where to stop, with more and more zombies chasing her.
Therefore, Xu Qing didn't notice where she went.
Until there are fewer and fewer zombies...
Xu Qing saw the surroundings were wide and there was a light in a house not far away. Xu Qing was delighted, "Mom, it seems we are saved."
He Minxing, who had kept his eyes closed all the way, also saw the light at a glance, and the sign on it read "Shuguang Convenience Store".
"Xiaoqing, could it be that we are seeing things? Isn't there a power outage after the apocalypse?"
"Mom, let's take a gamble and go in at dawn tomorrow."
The two decided to hide in the car and wait until daybreak.
The two of them watched as the light in the convenience store gradually dimmed, leaving only the faint light on the sign.
Even though it was very weak, it made them feel a lot more at ease.
There was someone outside the courtyard gate, and the system told Xu Bai immediately, but Xu Bai saw that the two women had not come in yet and were still sitting in the car, so he did not open the door to let them in.
It was not until the next morning that Xu Bai told Jiao Yangyang to make good preparations as new residents might move in that day.
Jiao Yangyang's eyes lit up, he patted his chest, and quickly promised to do a good job of entertaining.
After Xu Qing and He Minxing woke up, they felt much more at ease when they saw that the light on the convenience store sign was still on.
The two men cautiously held sticks and pushed open the door.
It was very quiet, almost eerily quiet.
The mother and daughter wanted to retreat back into the car, but then they remembered that they had nowhere to go and stopped.
"Dad, the city lord's sister is amazing. How did she know someone was coming today?"
I heard the sound of children playing, and when I looked, I saw a middle-aged man holding the hand of a five or six-year-old child.
"Dad, look at me."
The child walked up to them with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
Only then did they see that the child was very clean, without a speck of dust on his face, his clothes were brand new, and there was still some flesh on his face.
Such a clean child is rare.
Xu Qing glanced at himself and He Minxing. Not to mention the child, the adults around him also dressed themselves neatly and looked respectable.
Xu Qing and the other person were brought into the registration hall by Jiao Yangyang, but Jiao Nanmu did not come with them.
Along the way, Xu Qing and He Minxing have learned a lot of information about this base.
For example, the city lord is a very young lady.
For example, there is food and water in the city.
For example, as long as you work, you will have food to eat.
Xu Qing and He Minxing didn't dare to believe it, but when they saw the child's innocent and voluptuous face, they couldn't help but convince themselves.
It wasn't until I arrived at the registration hall and saw Xu Bai that I felt more at ease.
"Welcome to Dawn City."
"Our city is interested in recruiting various talents. If you are interested, you can fill out your resume."
Xu Qing took the resume that Xu Bai gave her.
Her hands were dirty and she was afraid that she would dirty her resume.
As an HR, she had come across such resume forms countless times. She used to complain that she felt like vomiting when she saw a resume form, but when she saw it again, Xu Qing felt familiar. If it weren't for her tattered clothes and dirty hands, she almost thought the end of the world was just a dream.
"Two sisters, drink some water first."
Under Jiao Nanmu's instruction, Jiao Yangyang knew that unless an adult told her to call her "Auntie", she should call everyone else "Sister".
"Xiaoqing." He Minxing was panicked and felt a little helpless holding the water in the cup.
These days, they have been taking refuge everywhere, and they know better than anyone else how scarce water is.
Right now, in a courtyard that looked quite large, someone was using it to entertain guests.
Xu Qing looked at the water in the cup with a surge of longing. She had forgotten how many days it had been since she had a drink of water, and her lips were so dry and cracked that they hurt.
"Mom, let's drink."
The temperature of the water was just right, neither too hot nor too cold. Xu Qing drank it all in one gulp and felt very refreshed. The water had a faint sweet taste.
My stomach growled.
Xu Qing suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly asked his mother to fill out the resume.
"Yangyang, go get some water for the two ladies."
Hearing Xu Bai's words, Xu Qing was so surprised that he looked up quickly.
Only then did Xu Qing notice that there was a water dispenser not far away, and the water bucket on the dispenser was full.
Then I saw that my mother looked tired and there were a few white hairs clearly visible in her tied hair.
