The dusty, haggard-looking researchers smiled and shouted in unison:
"Happy birthday, Boss Su!"
The tenants around him also shouted louder and louder:
"Happy birthday!!"
"Boss Su, happy birthday and all the best!"
"Boss Su! Happy birthday and may everything go smoothly and peacefully!"
"Boss Su!"
"Boss Su——"
Finally, someone shouted from his window sill:
"I love Taoyang, I love Boss Su!!!"
He was a man, but his voice was as broken as a screaming chicken.
Cen Tianjiao, who had been sitting in the pink helicopter, was suddenly startled. Oh, this is not allowed to shout.
Su Tao was stunned. She looked at the small tube of vaccine in her hand and listened to the blessings in her ears. Her nose felt sore and she couldn't stop the tears from flowing out no matter how hard she tried.
She had been so busy for so long that she had forgotten that it was her birthday today.
In the past eighteen years, she had never had a proper birthday. No one even remembered that she had a birthday. Occasionally, only Li Lianrong would remember it and give her half an extra bowl of rice. There was no surprise or gift, and they would complain and tell her that it was the end of the world and her family was not well off, so she asked her to be sensible and obedient.
She heard it was eighteen years ago.
And now.
She opened her mouth and was almost speechless. There were always thousands of words in her heart, and countless inexpressible emotions, but they could only linger on the tip of her tongue and turn into sobs.
Zhuang Wan burst into tears and rushed over to hug her: "Happy birthday, Taozi."
Meng Qian also walked forward and hugged them.
Then came Lin Fangzhi, Ma Dapao, Mr. Mei, Qian Lin and her daughter, Wu Zhen, Master Qin, Xiaobo, and Grandma Yu and her grandchildren.
We all hold together, just as we were united in the beginning, building our home together and moving forward step by step to where we are today.
Everyone surrounded Su Tao tightly, and in Su Tao's arms was the vaccine that was full of mission.
The successful development of the vaccine represents the end of this dark era.
After twenty years of turmoil and bloodshed, it began to come to an end at this moment.
Su Tao only felt a stream of warm current lingering in her heart, flowing continuously and endlessly.
Thanks for your hard work!
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to scientific research for twenty years!
Thank you to every builder and manager of Taoyang for their hard work!
Thank you to every compatriot who has sacrificed and dedicated themselves in this troubled time!
At this time, a pink helicopter appeared in the low sky, and the huge roar of the engine made Su Tao look up.
Cen Tianjiao, who was in the driver's seat, shouted at her:
"Boss Su! Our boss invites you to go for a ride and watch the sunrise!"
When Su Tao saw this pink helicopter, which was exactly copied from the base vehicle Wen Man gave her, she immediately burst into laughter.
She climbed the ladder, got into the helicopter, fastened her safety belt, and slowly followed the spiral upwards.
The number of Taoyang people on the ground waving their arms and shouting at her was getting smaller and smaller. Then she looked up into the distance and saw helicopters continuously spreading mist-like medicine onto the earth. After a while, the first rays of light appeared on the horizon, and a gorgeous rainbow appeared at dawn, sandwiched between the clouds, like a world of colorful clouds.
The potion brings not only peace, but also a breathtaking rainbow.
Su Tao was stunned for a moment.
"Happy birthday, Taotao."
She turned around suddenly and saw Shi Zijin sitting next to her with a smile on his face.
But his body became increasingly fainter and more illusory.
Su Tao instinctively wanted to grab him, but missed and instead grabbed half of his body.
Shi Zijin also reached out to touch her hair, but it passed through her without any surprise, revealing a look of regret:
"It's almost dawn. It's a pity that I can't watch the entire sunrise with you. I promise that I won't miss a single minute of your birthday next year."
After saying this, the sky outside the window became bright and the sun shone brightly.
Su Tao said anxiously: "I will wait for you, until you really wake up!"
Shi Zijin's body dissipated in the warm early sun.
The rainbow was still brilliant, but Su Tao's mood became depressed.
Cen Tianjiao was deeply moved: "Boss Su, thank you for saying this. When our boss wakes up, he will definitely protect you with his life. All this bullshit mission and heavy responsibilities, just get lost."
Su Tao was amused by what he said: "There's no need for him to carry the burden anymore, I'll be there for him."
This rain and fog of medicine wiped out 90% of the zombies in the south. Not only the mutant zombies hiding in the dark, but also the unconscious blood sickles and ordinary zombies were all exposed and wiped out.
In addition, a new batch of drugs is still being produced vigorously. According to the plan of Shen Wencheng's research team, the drugs will continue to be sprayed for half a year. Combined with full vaccination, within a year, humans will completely control the virus, start a new life, and rebuild their homes.
The major bases that originally came to support also saw the breathtaking rainbow in the sky.
The fighting spirit that was full of energy seemed to be soothed, and they all stared blankly at the sky.
Someone shouted:
"Success! It's the killing potion! Taoyang succeeded! The apocalypse is over!"
The sound was like thunder exploding out of nowhere, some cheered and some cried loudly.
At the same time, the news spread across the country, and people everywhere were shocked and moved to tears.
After getting off the helicopter, Su Tao's first thing was to synchronize the news of the vaccine with Changjing and start the national vaccination plan.
After the general meeting, I held a small meeting, and after the meeting I had a long talk with the President for two hours.
It was already dark when it was over, and she only then remembered that she hadn't eaten all day.
I walked quickly to the cafeteria with a rumbling stomach, but as soon as I opened the door, flower petals started raining down on my head.
What comes into view is a road paved with flowers, at the end of which is a five-layer luxurious cake. The tables on both sides are filled with gifts of all sizes, and the ceiling above is filled with colorful balloons.
Zhuang Wan, Meng Qian, Ma Dapao and dozens of others stood aside. Seeing the bewildered Su Tao, they immediately shouted in unison:
"The birthday boy is here!"
Before Su Tao could react, Chenxi came running over with a group of little girls in little gauze skirts, putting a birthday hat on her and handing her a bouquet of flowers.
She was quickly dressed up and pushed to make a wish in front of the candles.
What wish should I make?
She is so greedy. She wants the vaccine to be popularized throughout the country and even the world as soon as possible, and wants her compatriots to return to the prosperous and peaceful life before the end of the world.
I want Shi Zijin to stop being a ghost and wake up quickly.
I wish to wish the old leader and Mr. Mei good health.
I also hope that Manman can have her own child as soon as possible.
I hope both La Jiao and Xiao Bo’s wife can give birth smoothly.
I also hope that Wu Zhen can completely walk out of the shadow of the past and find someone to spend his life with.
She also hoped that Lei Xing could completely let her go and be his free self again.
Let's add Gu Mingchi. I hope Mr. Gu's Alzheimer's gets better and he can recognize his grandson.
There are too many, I don’t know which three to choose, so I might as well just wish for all of them.
Made a wish, blew out the candles, and cut the big cake.
There is also a cartoon Q-version portrait of her on the cake, which is drawn with great care and is obviously the work of Master Qin.
There were so many gifts that she was almost exhausted from opening them. Not only were there gifts from familiar friends, but there were also gifts from unfamiliar tenants, Dongyang residents, and early gifts from various bases.
It felt like she had opened all of her 18 years of birthday presents in one go.
So much happiness. If this is a dream, don’t let her wake up.
At this time, Grandma Yu directed several strong men to push in a big thing covered with red cloth and tied with a ribbon.
"Dai Tao, come here."
Su Tao felt a little numb from opening the presents, and her legs felt weak when she stood up.
But when my mother-in-law called me, I still ran over quickly.
Granny Yu pointed at the big thing with her chin: "Tear it down."
Su Tao asked blankly: "Gift?"
"Well, tear it down, stop talking nonsense."
Su Tao stepped on a stool, pulled the ribbon apart, and lifted the red cloth.
A two-person-high artillery turret appeared in everyone's sight.
Su Tao couldn't close her mouth: "What is this?"
Granny Yu said, "The Crystal Energy Cannon consumes ten Crystal Cores at a time and can flatten a base of 50,000 people. I originally wanted to use it in yesterday's battle, but it ended before it was even launched. It's a bit of a shame. I don't know if I'll be able to use it later. You can keep it as a big toy."
Everyone was stunned. You said before that you would build a big one for Boss Su. It really is a big one.
Su Tao smiled and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law."
Granny Yu was still a little awkward: "Come on, don't thank me. I just hope you can live a happier and easier life from now on. You're only nineteen, so have fun. If anything goes wrong, we old guys will take care of it for you."
Zhuang Wan and others: We are still young.
At this moment, amidst the blessings and laughter, the lights suddenly dimmed, and a spotlight shone on the curtain in front. A familiar male voice came from the video:
"After wandering for half my life, I found my home in Taoyang."
This sentence also appeared on the big screen.
Everyone at the birthday party fell silent and looked at the big screen.
Su Tao felt that the voice sounded familiar, and the words also sounded familiar.
Sure enough, the next second, a figure appeared in the middle of the big screen.
The spotlight shone on Fan Chuanhui's smiling face.
Su Tao instantly remembered everything about him. At the beginning, Taoyang had only a few rooms, and Fan Chuanhui was one of the earliest tenants. At that time, he shared a double room with a fire-type mutant.
As a result, despite his repeated reminders, this fire-type mutant continued to practice controlling fire in the room, and finally set the house on fire one night.
Fortunately, Su Tao discovered it early and no casualties were caused.
After the fire-type mutant was driven away by her, Fan Chuanhui was left without a roommate.
Not only did Su Tao not vent her anger on him, she even opened a new room for him.
Later it was discovered that Fan Chuanhui was a publicity talent. He wrote a heartfelt article titled "After wandering for half my life, I found my home in Taoyang", which caused a sensation in Dongyang and attracted many tenants to Taoyang.
Later, he was responsible for the cultural promotion and recording work in Taoyang.
The video continued to play, mainly from Fan Chuanhui's perspective. He used an old, broken camera to record everything from the moment he saw the advertisement, how hard he tried to find a roommate, and how he moved in with a nervous and skeptical attitude.
When Taoyang stood at the gate, it looked like a large bungalow with a yard.
There are not many rooms inside, and they are all small single and double rooms.
Then slowly, washing machines, vending machines, and grocery stores appeared in the empty public areas, and began to provide daily necessities.
Gradually, there were more and more tenants, and the boss was a little too busy, so Zhuang Wan appeared with her two children.
At that time, she was used to relying on others. After losing her husband and younger brother, she was afraid to face the future of her life.
Tao Yang's job gave her hope, but she was still worried until Su Tao affirmed her ability to work:
"You can support your child by yourself without relying on others."
Even after so long, Zhuang Wan, who was at the scene, still covered her mouth and cried out loud when she heard the words in the video.
The video continued to tell the story, and later Zhuang Wan began to help manage it, and she did it better and better, and established the basic rules of Taoyang.
There were too many tenants and the first floor was no longer enough, so a second floor was built.
Later, one-bedroom and one-living room units and two-bedroom and one-living room units appeared. Although there were more room types, they were very irregular and mixed together.
Then Mr. Mei appeared in the video in a wheelchair, pointing at the building with one hand and drawing a sketch with the other - a neat and orderly Taoyang appeared on the paper.
Taoyang began to undergo major changes. Different types of houses were built in separate buildings, with regulations on the number of floors and appearance, the distance between two buildings, etc., gradually approaching the current Taoyang base.
Later, fountains appeared in Taoyang, bringing coolness to the hot summer.
"You look beautiful when you smile, and our unfinished fountain is just the backdrop. Do you mind if I print this photo and hang it on our display board?"
Su Tao in the video smiled and shook her head, and encouraged:
"The entrance to the office area has been opened for you today, and the exhibition area is now yours. I hope that every trace of Taoyang's presence will be there. Remember to sign your name. This way, everyone who comes to visit will know that we have a great photographer named Fan Chuanhui in Taoyang."
The video changed and a photo appeared on the screen:
There is the unfinished fountain and the smiling Su Tao, and further away is the desolation of the end of the world.
Taoyang's story continues, and later another discordant incident occurred. Two sisters with the ability to instigate caused chaos. Boss Su publicly apologized and said that he would strengthen tenant screening and security work in the future to create a safe and reliable living environment for everyone.
That extremely sincere apology letter appeared in the video.
Later, just as she promised, Taoyang was indestructible.
The video changed, and Zhong Gaoyi, who came from the East District carrying a suitcase, appeared at the gate of Taoyang. Now he was destined to be unable to leave.
Later, Taoyang took over the Dongyang Plantation, re-hired Qian Lin and her daughter, owned Panliu Mountain, joined Manager Ma, and had the honor of meeting Master Qin.
Afterwards, Taoyang took Wu Zhen in, but Wu Zhen was in a state of despair.
"Wu Zhen, without you, all the land will become wasteland and garbage dump, trampled by zombies and soaked with the blood and flesh of our compatriots."
Awakening from a big dream.
The monotonous Taoyang has been given green space and a sun room has been built.
Next, the video witnessed the construction of two office buildings, Taoli Building and Taohua Building.
On the day of completion and move-in, Qian Rongrong also gave an interview.
"This is our youngest employee in Taoyang, Ms. Qian Rongrong. Let's ask her how she feels about moving into her 'new home'~"
Qian Rongrong was very shy in front of the camera and waved her hands hurriedly:
"Don't call me teacher. It feels great. It's spacious. The large floor-to-ceiling windows provide great light. From where I sit I can turn my head and see the scenery outside. If it's too hot at noon, I can even pull down the blackout curtains."
Later on, Boss Su brought back Grandma Yu and Xiao Yu, and Taoyang also owned more land, a small ranch, a training ground, took over the East District, included Dongyang, and won the last battle.
The video ends with everyone hugging each other, and the camera focuses on the tiny vaccine injection.
The video ends.
Su Tao burst into tears.
Suddenly, the cafeteria door opened and the veterinarian in charge of taking care of Chili rushed in:
"Boss Su, sorry to bother you. I'm here to tell you the good news. Chili has successfully given birth to eight puppies, and they all survived. Would you like to go and see them?"
Su Tao burst into laughter instantly: "Go!"
None of the eight babies born to Lajiao were pure black like black sesame. They were all of various colors.
They squeezed together and competed for milk. Chili's belly was like a palette, and the kitten bit it hard while feeding.
Wen Man was heartbroken and touched the weak Chili. For the first time, Chili didn't act mean to her and even licked her fingers.
Wenman was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears of joy, stood up and ran to the side crying quietly.
What she didn't expect was that after several days, Chili, who had recovered, suddenly took a cub from its nest and put it on Wenman's lap.
Not to mention Wen Man, even Su Tao was stunned.
Wenman couldn't believe it: "Is it for me? Really? Really?"
Chili turned and left.
Taking care of a baby is too tiring, I need to find someone to share the burden with me.
Su Tao glanced at the kid and said in surprise, "You're actually the third kid from Qilinwei. You're lucky."
The unicorn tail is natural. Usually, the tail of this kind of cat is very short and curved, making it look like a rabbit.
Before the end of the world, people often regarded Qilin cats as a symbol of wealth and good luck.
Wenman couldn't let go of it.
Luo Yan had a premonition that he was about to lose all of his wife's attention, and he felt very resentful.
Su Tao couldn't stop laughing, and then she felt deeply envious.
At least you can be together every day, touch each other, and watch the sunrise and sunset together.
One early morning a year later, Su Tao suddenly felt someone blowing towards her. When she opened her eyes, she saw Shi Zijin's familiar face.
She turned over and continued to sleep, not taking it seriously.
Over the past year, the dead guy has been following her every night. If he could be in the dark during the day, he would have followed her to work. This restricted area in the bedroom has gradually become a decoration.
Never mind, a ghost can’t do anything to her.
"Hurry up, get up and watch the sunrise together. If you're any later you won't be able to see it."
Su Tao felt someone pulling her up.
She opened her eyes in a trance, and felt the warmth of his palm on her arm.
She looked at Shi Zijin, then at her arm: "Am I dreaming?"
Shi Zijin picked her up and held her sideways, looking down at her little face. Suddenly, he leaned forward and kissed her forehead gently:
"Yes, forget about this when you wake up. I have to do things in order. First, I will treat you to a meal and then pursue you again."
