When Mr. Li and his family returned to Heart Island, it was somewhat dilapidated, but there was no damage; only their supplies were all gone.
The vegetables in the yard had been harvested and not replanted, and now it was overgrown with weeds. There were some black marks in the yard; because Xiao Qin had told him what had happened afterward, they understood that many people had died there, and those were the bloodstains left behind.
In this apocalyptic world, death is commonplace. Apart from Duan Yuxin constantly complaining, no one else spoke, only the relief of returning home. They no longer had to wander and hide.
After saying goodbye to Xiao Qin, they quickly went to the basement to check. Fortunately, their stored supplies were not discovered and nothing was lost.
Some tidied up, others prepared food, and the moment they lay down, they all fell into a deep sleep.
When Ye Yunyi and her group arrived at the villa area, the gatekeeper, Xiao Lin, was overjoyed.
Ye Yunyi and the others had been gone for over ten days without a word, and everyone was extremely worried. Zhao Yong was also under a lot of pressure, as he wasn't a resident of the villa complex. Although he managed the guards and escorts very well and everyone respected him, there were still many miscellaneous matters to deal with. Things that were originally handled by Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang were now being asked of him, which really gave him a huge headache.
His family was extremely worried. They initially thought it would only be 3-5 days at most, but a week, 10 days, passed without him returning. They couldn't contact him, and he asked about it every day, only able to try to reassure them. He was also preparing for the worst; if his sister and brother-in-law really couldn't come back, he would ensure the safe operation of the villa complex, and most importantly, protect the safety of his family.
So when Xiaolin excitedly used the walkie-talkie to notify Ye Yunyi and the others that they were back, Zhao Yong rushed over immediately.
Looking at Zhao Yong's dark circles, Ye Yunyi said, "You've worked hard, Zhao Yong."
Wang Zixiang also said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Yong grinned from ear to ear: "It's so good that you're back."
The guards greeted each other when they saw their returning brothers, but when they didn't see Xiao Deng and Huang Bo, their smiles froze instantly.
"It's alright, they have an important mission," Xiao Ran said with a smile.
They went for their routine medical checkups and then went home to rest.
Those who followed Ye Yunyi and the others back to their hometown were immediately surrounded by the off-duty guards. "Come on, brothers, tell us about your exciting adventures."
Ye Yunyi had instructed them not to reveal any information from above, and left the rest to them to say.
They returned home with Wang Ma and Wang Junjun. Ye Ma and Zhao Ma had already prepared a sumptuous meal.
Radish stewed with pig's trotters, stir-fried cabbage with pork, boiled sliced pork, stir-fried pea shoots, stir-fried bracken, bamboo shoot and pork buns, vegetable and egg soup, and mixed grain white rice—Wang Ma was actually teary-eyed.
Two months ago, until Ye Yunyi and the others returned home, they couldn't even get enough to eat, let alone meat. Ye's mother held Wang's mother's hand and comforted her, "My dear in-laws, it's good that you're here, it's good that you're here."
When Wang Junjun saw Wang Xuanxuan, he sweetly called out, "Sister." Wang Xuanxuan then took him and Zhao Xixi out for a meal.
During the meal, they talked about their time in Wang Zixiang's hometown, and the meal was both happy and long.
Ye Yunyi thought that it was so good that all the important people were here.
Just after they finished eating, many neighbors came to visit. Helpless, Ye Yunyi, Wang Zixiang, and Zhao Yong had no choice but to take them to the office building.
The neighbors expressed their concern and greetings, and then shared their worries and requests.
Three hours passed in this reception. If Xiao Fang hadn't stopped them, there would probably have been even more people. Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang looked at each other and said, "Xiao Fang, let's notify them that there will be a general meeting tomorrow. Tell them not to rush."
Xiaofang went to inform them, and those people went back reassured. Actually, most of them just came to visit, as if not coming when others came meant they were not fitting in.
Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang didn't know whether to be happy or sad. It was a good thing for them to have prestige, but too much prestige was also a bad thing. They both understood that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it.
After everyone left, Zhao Yong and Xiao Fang reported to Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang what had happened in the villa area after they left.
1. Mr. Li and his family have returned, but they are unwilling to participate in our unified management. Duan Yuxin keeps nagging us to compensate her for using their products.
2. Chen Yu and Gao Fei have thoroughly studied the data they brought back. The hydroelectric generator has been installed and is undergoing preliminary testing. However, the power supply is somewhat insufficient, and they say it needs further debugging before it can be officially put into use.
3. The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and everyone hopes to have a meaningful New Year together.
4. Many children and elderly people in the villa area have been sick lately, and traditional Chinese medicine hasn't been very effective. I hope to go to the hospital to get some medicine.
5. Something's wrong with the zombies outside. They're no longer standing like wooden stakes; they'll seek shelter from the rain, seek shelter from the sun, and even gather together.
6. There's good news in our villa area too! Sister Hong and Yang Jing are getting married!
Ye Yunyi grasped the key point. The good thing is that there is a happy occasion, the New Year, which is the first time such an event has happened in the villa area. In order to increase cohesion, it can be properly organized.
Regarding the development of the villa area, electric generators are feasible. Although they are still being tested, Ye Yunyi knows that it is possible. Even if there is insufficient power, the power supply can be guaranteed for the few households without electricity first.
Important and urgent matter: many people are sick, and the zombies are changing. This must be taken seriously. She needs to go and check it out soon and make preparations as soon as possible.
As for the return of Boss Li's family, Ye Yunyi and Wang Zixiang didn't pay much attention to it since they had gotten along well with them before. If they weren't going to participate, they weren't going to participate. As for compensation, that could be negotiated. It was hard to say who would compensate whom.
Seeing how quickly Ye Yunyi categorized and processed these matters, Zhao Yong felt genuine admiration. However, Ye Yunyi wouldn't do everything herself; the specific implementation would be handled by Wang Zixiang and Xiao Fang.
After everyone parted ways, Ye Yunyi went home, took out masks and disinfectant, and went to visit the sick people.
They lay in bed, feeling pain all over their bodies, weak, unable to eat, their consciousness fluctuating between lucidity and unconsciousness. Some had red rashes on their hands and bodies, which were itchy and would ooze pus when scratched, with a particularly strong, fishy smell.
Ye Yunyi immediately sensed something was wrong. After visiting several families, she found them all weeping and recounting their experiences. They all had one thing in common: they said the illness had been discovered two days prior. What had happened two days ago? Instead of going door-to-door, she rushed to find the only traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the villa area, Old Xu.
