Chapter 5 Stockpiling. Rebirth or just a pipe dream?
Through the spiritual connection, Chu An knew that what his right eye saw was the spirit of a person, and that he could distinguish between good and evil. There were three forms of time in the space: a static warehouse, a backward-flowing maple forest, and normal black soil.
The space requires the excess heat in her body to exist, and the use of the space requires her mental strength.
She can only eat until she is 50% full every day now, so how can she have any extra calories, let alone mental energy.
The space existed in her mind for ten days and then disappeared, leaving only a residual ability to read people.
Thinking of this, she began to concentrate and tried to see Gu Ye's spirit.
"Cough cough..." I felt dizzy and it seemed that my body was still too weak.
After calming down for a moment, she began to doubt again, was this a rebirth or just a dream before death?
Just then the bell rang for the end of get out of class. Zhuona was the first to rush out of the classroom and said to the two of them, "You guys are hiding in peace."
"Are you jealous?" Gu Ye said as he angrily sent the manta ray away. "Tell me, is the manta ray jealous of my talent?"
Zhuona rolled her eyes at him, naturally put her arm around Chu An's, and pulled her towards the bathroom, not wanting to answer the narcissist's words.
Chu An was very resistant to her contact, but it was difficult to refuse. It was not that he hated her, but it was a sequelae of mental mysophobia left over from his previous life.
She has to remind herself all the time that it is not the end of the world yet, and it is still a society ruled by law. The ugliness of human nature has not yet been exposed, and the self-control that a normal person should have still exists.
"Hey, hey...what do you two mean by that? Don't leave." Gu Ye followed, "Chu An, those two guys are villains, they won't let you go. For safety reasons, why don't you stay at my house for a few days and go to school with me."
"If you want to go, go to my house." Zhuona turned around and motioned for him to look at the wall.
The sign for girls wearing skirts and the dozen or so strange looks around him finally made him realize that he had reached the door of the women's restroom.
"ah--"
Gu Ye walked away at lightning speed with his long legs, causing laughter from the girls around him. Given Gu Ye's appearance, the girls were mostly embarrassed.
Chu An looked at his energetic classmates and sighed sincerely, saying how great it is to be alive.
She quietly pulled her arm out while walking through the door, and walked into the last partition as usual.
She began to ponder her current situation. According to the timeline of her previous life, she was the one who made Ma Ning drink toilet water two weeks ago. Tomorrow after school, the people Huang Bin hired would block her outside the school.
She was not afraid of Huang Bin, not even in her previous life, let alone after more than four years of baptism in the apocalypse, but she felt sorry for the compensation money.
Alas, the obstacles and difficulties that she thought she could not overcome in her previous life are now nothing. She is willing to let Huang Bin go for the money.
After using the restroom, they washed their hands together. Zhuona murmured softly, "Ma Ning is so shameless. Yesterday he even posted a thread on the school forum specifically to scold you. But don't worry, Gu Ye and I have scolded you back."
Chu An turned off the faucet and looked at his healthy self in the mirror. He smiled strangely in delight and said, "Don't worry about her."
Zhuona was stunned for a moment. Chu An seemed a little different today. His face was colder than before, and his whole body gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers", as if he would chop people with a knife if he was not happy.
However, when Chu An licked his lunch plate clean, all the strange behavior in the morning was insignificant.
After dinner, Chu An went to return his meal card. He was told that he could only withdraw the money the next day. There was still 213.5 yuan in his meal card, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.
In addition to the meal cards, this year's subsidies for poor students and bonuses for excellent students have not been issued. What was the reason for this in the previous life?
After leaving the cafeteria, I finally found a clue among my messy memories - it should be the signature of the director of the Academic Affairs Office.
The total of these two items must be ten thousand, so I can’t miss it.
She hurried to the Academic Affairs Office to look for someone, but was told that the director had gone off-campus for training and would not be back until the afternoon.
When I returned to the classroom, Zhuona was holding a comic book with a silly smile on her face.
It was a good opportunity for her to use the time waiting for others to sort out her thoughts and make a plan for survival in the apocalypse. She was very short on time and couldn't fly around like a headless fly.
The first class in the afternoon was biology class. The biology teacher was an old lady who was about to retire. She spoke very softly and did not care about classroom discipline.
After making up her mind, she opened her notebook and tore off the previous notes. A blank page appeared in front of her, like the life that was about to unfold, and everything was decided by her again.
First of all, the news of the coming of the end of the world is spread indiscriminately through the Internet. Everyone has the same chance of survival, it just depends on whether they believe it or not.
The end of the world began on June 6th. A rainstorm lasted for two months. The East City where she lived was a low-lying area, and the water flooded to the ninth floor.
Although the government organized rescue operations as soon as possible, the previous flood prevention measures were completely ineffective in the face of the sudden natural disaster. The rescue workers suffered heavy losses and the rescue was eventually suspended.
After the rainstorm ended, online news said that nearly 80,000 people died in City C, including more than 15,000 rescue workers.
The whole city was in mourning.
People thought the natural disaster was over, but they didn't expect that worse weather was coming. After the rainstorm, the temperature dropped sharply. Before the National Day, it had dropped to minus 88 degrees Celsius, and steel plates would break into slag if they fell to the ground.
The extreme cold damaged most of the city's buildings and completely disrupted the communication system. On the night of the extreme cold, many people fell asleep and never woke up again.
She survived the extremely cold night, but lost ten toes due to freezing, becoming disabled. No one was willing to team up with her to search for supplies.
Fortunately, the temperature of minus 88 degrees lasted for less than two months. After New Year's Day, the temperature began to rise and finally stopped at around minus 60 degrees.
In order to survive, one has to go out. However, in order to avoid man-made dangers, one cannot go out during the day, when the weather is good, or to places far away or with abundant supplies.
I survived like this for half a year, and finally got the news of the opening of the shelter. After entering, I found that it was completely different from what I imagined, and it was easier to become someone's prey.
She escaped after staying in the shelter for less than half a month, and waited with difficulty for the news about the preparation of the base in City C.
She took the initiative to sign up and became one of the first and most miserable infrastructure builders, thus qualifying to live in the base, but could only live in the slums.
After entering the base, I would do all the hard work and do it better than others. If there was an opportunity to cooperate with the base to carry out missions, I would definitely strive for it.
When you go out on a mission, you will have teammates with you, who can make up for your physical defects to a certain extent and make it easier to obtain rewards.
There is a rule in the C City base that women are not allowed to hold management positions, not even as temporary team leaders of the scavenging team.
In such an environment, no matter how well you work, you are just an ordinary worker. After enduring and working hard for a year, I moved out of the slum and my life improved a little.
Later, the base in City C suffered heavy damage and could no longer be maintained. All the people were taken in by the base established by the central government, and this system was abolished.
In the new base, she finally climbed from a refugee to the base management.
During this period, she never forgot to look for her family and friends, but every time she found one, she would lose one.
Tormented by the alternating cycle of hope and pain, her personality became increasingly withdrawn, paranoid, and even violent.
