Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan put down their two children and started eating. They chatted as they ate, also keeping an eye on the party.
"This is truly wonderful news! Our planet has entered a new era. From this day forward..."
An exciting sound came from the television. Bi Qiaoan didn't quite catch it and asked Shen Yanming, "Did you hear what the television was saying?"
"It seems to be about sunlight."
The couple quickly put down their chopsticks, sat on the sofa, and listened carefully to the information on TV.
"Sunlight has returned to normal, and from now on, we can all walk normally in the sun! Friends who have achieved self-immunity no longer need to worry about impetigo recurring."
Through its efforts, the research institute has increased the production of sunlight desensitizers and expects to achieve herd immunity by the end of this year.
"What exciting news!" Bi Qiaoan exclaimed.
Shen Yanming laughed, "Yes, I won't need to fake being sick anymore."
Bi Qiaoan touched Shen Yanming's smooth face and said with a smile, "It must be hard for you to check your appearance every day before going out."
Shen Yanming accidentally ate something at home that made the pimples on his face disappear. He had no choice but to look in the mirror every time he went out.
"Yes, I can be handsome again. My wife too, her beauty no longer needs to be hidden under a veil."
The couple complimented each other until they finished watching this part, then went back to eat.
The guard team didn't plan any fireworks display or anything like that for New Year's Eve. Everyone's busy with eating and drinking these days, so they don't really care much about these spiritual things.
However, a few people who doted on their children still prepared fireworks, which shone brightly in the cold night.
Hearing the joyful noise of the crowd, the couple got up and stood by the window to look down. They saw a group of teenagers surrounding a little girl, setting off sparklers.
Even fireworks of such a single color brought them great joy.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan brought An'an and Nuannuan over to see what was going on. The two little ones were very curious and pointed out the window, calling for their parents to take them out to play.
But fireworks are short-lived; they went out as soon as they finished speaking. Looking at the darkened outside, the two children were confused and looked at Shen Yanming with bewilderment.
"That's called fireworks. It only shines for a short while. Let's just watch it from the window. Otherwise, by the time we get down there, they'll have finished."
An'an and Nuannuan didn't quite understand, but they knew that their parents couldn't take them downstairs.
Her little shoulders slumped in disappointment; she looked utterly pitiful.
Bi Qiaoan quietly asked Shen Yanming, "Didn't we collect these entertainment items?"
Shen Yanming shook his head. "No, we've been too busy collecting food and supplies."
Then he patted the two children's heads and said, "If I had known I had such adorable little babies, I would have definitely collected some toys and things to look at."
"Let's see if we can go out again when the opportunity arises."
"Even if they manage to get out, they'll probably only be able to buy some stockpiled goods. These days, very few fireworks factories can survive."
"That's true. There are no orders on weekdays, and it's only during holidays that we have so many workers. Besides, money isn't very useful these days."
"Well, let's just forget about it. Let's just download some pictures and videos and make up for the lack of childhood memories for the two kids."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "Why do you seem so perfunctory?"
"I can't very well make it for them myself." If I'm not careful, it could be a ticking time bomb.
The two didn't discuss the issue in depth. They played with the two little ones for a while and then went to bed.
The family of four entered the space, first settling An'an and Nuan'nuan in, and then going up the mountain to harvest fruits, vegetables and grains.
When we get back, we'll have to go through another round of matches. Only after we're completely exhausted will we take a shower and go back to sleep.
This Spring Festival was just like any other year; instead of visiting relatives and friends, the couple stayed home every day.
When the two children are awake, the couple takes them to explore the virtual world and play games. After the children fall asleep, the couple makes pills or farms.
The holiday ended quickly, and normal work hours resumed. The couple left for work together every morning and returned home together every evening, except they brought their two children with them.
After recovering from his injury, Li Gangtie resumed his morning training, but since it was still cold, he moved the training indoors.
What's particularly funny is that, in order to toughen everyone up, they taught them how to kill people instead of killing pigs.
If a guard is trained to cleanly and efficiently kill a large, fat pig, he should be able to put up a fight against the enemy. It's just that killing a person or a pig presents a different visual experience.
Li Gangtie led the people to the agricultural area, where Ye Wengui had already prepared hundreds of large, fat pigs ready for slaughter.
Shen Yanming found it quite strange. People usually slaughter pigs and sheep before the New Year, so why was it delayed until after the New Year?
What he didn't know was that a batch of meat had already been slaughtered before the New Year and made into canned meat and stored away. This batch was specifically saved to give them practice and hone their skills.
Although the pigs were ruined and could be eaten in any way, Ye Wengui had raised them for a whole year and was still quite reluctant to part with them.
So he assigned each of them a pig to practice on; if they could learn, they could learn; if not, so be it. He couldn't bring himself to let his piglets suffer the pain of slaughter.
Although his love for pork allows him to eat it without hesitation, the feeling of seeing it and not seeing it are completely different.
well!
Qi Xili also came over during the practical training session. Seeing the different expressions on everyone's faces, he couldn't help but chuckle.
This is nothing! If you're this troubled by slaughtering a pig, what will it be like to kill people in the future?
Li Gangtie demonstrated above, cleanly and efficiently subduing the pig, then slashing its aorta with a dagger before immediately retreating.
This pig won't die anytime soon; it'll run around wildly in a frenzy. Li Gangtie dodged left and right, waiting for an opportunity to deliver another blow.
After several cuts, the pig had bled almost all of its blood and died from excessive blood loss.
Ye Wengui shook his head regretfully: "What a waste! All that pig's blood has been ruined. Otherwise, we could have made so much blood tofu." I knew we shouldn't have given the pig to these people for practice. Look how much good stuff they've ruined.
Li Gangtie couldn't stand his petty words, so he glared at him and said, "You're going to keep babbling on and on, aren't you? How about I use you as a demonstration?"
Ye Wengui was embarrassed and gave an awkward smile: "No need, you're busy, you're busy!"
Qi Xili suppressed a laugh and gestured with his eyes: "Who's going up?"
As a result, they all took a step back, none of them daring to be the first to strike.
Li Gangtie got angry and pointed at them, shouting: "Pigs are docile enough. If you can't even handle domestic pigs, how will you fight on the battlefield in the future? Even if you don't fight with people, what about wild boars, jackals, tigers and leopards? Are you just waiting to be eaten?"
How can you all lack self-awareness? If you don't act ruthlessly, how could you possibly survive in this world full of crises?
