Chapter 23 Stocking up. Setting rules for yourself
I put down my phone and turned to look out the window. The afterglow of the setting sun cast a golden hue on the city. Magnificent high-rise buildings stood upright on both sides of the street like gentlemen, moving slowly backwards with the flow of traffic.
There are bustling crowds of people on both sides of the street, some are going home from get off work, some are going out shopping, some are having dinner together, and some are walking with their dogs.
No matter whether the day is boring and busy or lively and happy, everyone's expression is vivid, without any numbness and determination in the end times.
very nice!
She accidentally glanced at a seed store. Seeds in the apocalypse are very precious. Firstly, the natural disaster came too suddenly and many institutions did not have time to preserve them. Secondly, the natural disaster was too cruel and most of the few remaining seeds were rotten.
Even though the research institutes later cultivated fruits and vegetables suitable for growing in the end times, the taste was much worse.
She took out the shopping list, drew three five-pointed stars behind the words seeds, meat and medicine, and decided to buy these three items first.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly took out her mobile phone and added the drug agent's WeChat, and the other party quickly accepted.
She didn't say hello. She just sent him the list of medicines she wanted, and then asked him to meet her at the Redwood Cafe in the department store tonight. She had to find out whether he was a real person or a ghost.
The other party replied very quickly, "Okay, let's set it at 7pm. I have to work overtime today."
The delivery guys all come around six o'clock, so the schedule is a bit tight, but it's not impossible. "Okay, the first ones to arrive will wait a little longer."
The other party responded with an OK gesture, and the conversation ended.
Half an hour later, Chu An returned to the door of Qingrun Apartment. She didn't go upstairs, but went straight to the store.
The shop that Li Qing borrowed was on the street, and there was a row of wooden benches on the side of the street. Normally no one would sit here to rest. Chu An had never seen it before, and when he passed by before, he found that it was very dirty, with mud, leaves, toilet paper, and everything else.
But at this moment, a woman in a long purple dress was sitting upright on it.
The woman was sitting with her back to the shop, so her face could not be seen, but one could only sense that something was wrong from her luxurious dress and stiff posture.
Well, either he lost his job or he suffered a breakup, but the possibility of a breakup is more likely.
After experiencing the end of the world, Chu An no longer had any sympathy for those who were in love, so he quickly looked away.
She opened the door of the shop, picked up the broom she had prepared yesterday, and started cleaning. Halfway through, she heard the sound of a man and a woman arguing.
She didn't stop using the broom, and her ears weren't idle either.
The man's tone was almost pleading, "Sisi, what did I do wrong? Tell me and I'll change. I'll change everything. Come back with me. I really didn't know about this incident in advance. I didn't invite the guests. I have nothing to do with them."
The woman called Sisi said helplessly, "You don't have to change. Just remember that you and I have nothing to do with each other."
Man, "How can we have no relationship? I really love you. I don't believe you have no feelings for me at all."
The woman took a deep breath, "Yin Tianlin, can you please stop being so sentimental? I'm not angry today because of your ex-girlfriend or ex-ex-girlfriend. I left early because I don't want to get involved in your affairs."
Yin Tianlin, "I don't believe you. You don't mean what you say."
The two of them started to pull each other again.
Chu An felt that the woman's voice sounded familiar, as if it was her neighbor 1110, Sisi, Huo Sisi?
No wonder she looked familiar. Huo Sisi was Mou Ci's high school classmate. She had come to her house to look for her brother and they had met once.
She straightened up and looked outside. Huo Sisi was actually the woman in the purple dress, and the man she was pulling was a rich young man with a slicked-back hair and all designer clothes. There was also a Maserati parked next to the two of them.
While pushing and pulling, Huo Sisi shook off Yin Tianlin's hand, held up her skirt and quickly crossed the crosswalk, walking towards the back of Qingrun Apartment.
Yin Tianlin wanted to chase after him, but he stepped on something and slipped, falling flat on his face.
Huo Sisi took the opportunity to disappear at the end of the building, while Yin Tianlin pounded the ground unwillingly, then took out the mobile phone from his pocket to answer the call. He didn't know what the other party said, but his eyes gradually became cold, and he no longer had the shameless look he had just now.
Damn...he’s also a contestant who can change his expression.
Yin Tianlin glanced at the end of the building, the frost in his eyes gradually faded away, he hung up the phone, stood up, dusted off his body, and drove away.
Chu An thought and took back the small stone in the space. She was not overwhelmed with sympathy, but simply did not like men who pestered and harassed women. It had nothing to do with who Huo Sisi and Yin Tianlin were.
In her previous life, she joined the base's women's guard team and climbed to the position of captain.
The Women's Guard was mainly composed of women who were unwilling to depend on men and who were willing to resist violence. At its peak, the number of women reached over 10,000.
It’s a pity that managing a team can’t just rely on intelligence and bravery. She lacks experience in leading a team and internal strife often occurs within the team.
At first, she used harsh punishments, which would keep the group quiet for a while. But when harsh punishments didn't work, she started expelling them from the group. As a result, the group got smaller and smaller, until only a dozen people were left, and the group eventually disbanded.
She is not a good captain, and she is not qualified as a team member.
Her ideas are always different from others. She is unable to cooperate with her teammates, and is even less able to obey orders as resolutely as a soldier.
She might be the most unique and annoying person in the team.
So she ended up alone and miserable, and how she chose to die was her last bit of pride.
She has no regrets. If she didn't have such a twisted personality, she might have died long ago and missed out on getting the golden finger and space. After all, many of her teammates are stupid and like to listen to one side and believe it.
Moreover, if there is no twisted personality, there will be no suicide, and there will be no rebirth. No rebirth means completely losing Lao Chu, Mou Ci, Gu Ye, Zhuona and Li Qing. Without them, what does it matter even if I can live to 100 years old?
The hardships of the previous life have already been recorded in this life's resume, and I will never repeat the same mistakes.
Thinking of this, she set three rules for herself.
First, we will never create teams again. Friends should get along with each other as friends. We will gather together when we are together and separate when we are apart.
Second, maintain an independent personality. This is not a fairy tale, where you can cultivate the ruthless way. Therefore, she will get married and have a baby when she is able. Maybe because she is an orphan, she likes children very much and hopes to give her children a complete home. But no matter how much she longs for the fireworks of the world, she cannot let herself depend on men and lose herself in the family.
She was still young, so there was no rush. Maybe she could do this in ten or fifteen years... when the natural disaster was over. If the natural disaster never ended, she would build her own paradise.
Third, with absolute freedom, the bases in the previous life would more or less intervene and restrict the lives of the people, whether for the sake of safety or for the sake of despotism.
If the base in this life is still like this, she will choose to live alone outside. She believes that her family and friends will support her, and what she has to do now is to stock up more supplies to ensure her future freedom.
Thinking of this, her world-weary mood eased a little, and she wanted to see how far she could go in the apocalypse.
