Chapter 204: Rotten heart and lungs.
Lu Qinghe had said before that if you stay in one place for a long time, do nothing, and don't socialize with others, you will easily become depressed, so Shu Lan left some empty rooms for everyone to place things like books, ping-pong balls, and board games.
At the same time, after turning on the lights every day, she would select some people to read poems or novels in the radio room, or tell their own stories, or sing their original songs.
"Hello everyone, I'm Wu Yue. Today I'm singing a song that I composed and wrote the lyrics for. It's for my mother. I haven't decided on a title yet, so I'll sing it for you first."
As soon as the guitar sound came out, Liu Tianyang, who was lying on the ground, immediately sat up, his eyes shining: "My idol!"
The soft female voice gurgled into the ears like flowing water.
"I came into this world ignorantly,
I have nothing.
But gave her wet hair and eyes.
She was a blooming flower,
She is prosperous and wealthy.
But for me, all the bright colors have faded.
She said, "Baby, I love you."
Don't be afraid, go to sleep quickly.
Let the moon carry you across the Milky Way and find the most beautiful aurora.
She said, "Baby, I love you."
Don't be afraid, run quickly.
Let the wind take you across the mountains and rivers to see the sea of flowers farther away.
..."
At the gala, all the programs were lively and exciting, but Wu Yue's lonely and quiet singing seemed a bit dull.
But in this moment of silence, her singing can actually touch the deepest emotions of the soul and bring people into her inner world.
When the song ended, Wu Yue said softly, "Okay, thank you all for listening."
No one applauded. Everyone was immersed in the awakened emotions, thinking of their loved ones with red eyes.
Li Yanli looked at the flame in front of him that was becoming weak due to lack of oxygen, and thought of his parents and the bloody words on the wall.
Shu Maomao spoke in the earphones: "Mom, here's the paper for you."
Shu Lan sobbed, "It's so strange, the tears just flowed down on their own."
Liu Tianyang also said: "He is worthy of being my idol. Even a zombie like me actually cried after listening to him - no, not tears, it was raining!"
Yes, it's raining.
A group of zombies fled in panic. Fortunately, the house where humans lived was still there, and they were able to go into the house to shelter from the rain.
"Shu Lan, you still can't drink the water in the pipes. This rain is mixed with poisonous gases. It will flow into the groundwater and pollute the water source. If we drink it, everyone will get sick."
"I see."
After the rain stopped, the surface temperature dropped even lower, and the zombies were almost frozen to death. They were only able to move thanks to Li Yanli's fire ability.
Liu Tianyang found a few empty beds, put them together under the eaves, and let everyone lie side by side on them to listen to the radio.
Whenever humans sleep, the speakers become very quiet, and the zombies have to wait with their eyes open for them to wake up.
"Hey, hey! It's a bit boring to wait like this. Let's learn from them and tell our own stories."
Jiang Jun said ruthlessly: "Didn't I tell you that when we first met?"
Liu Tianyang elbowed him: "What's wrong with saying it again? No, I feel like my lungs are rotten. How are you?"
"My heart is broken."
Li Yanli chuckled: "Then you two are just rotten-hearted brothers."
"What about you, Boss?"
"I'm fine, it's just my stomach."
There is no day or night on the ground, and they can only judge whether another day has passed by the sound on the radio.
Every day when she woke up, Shu Lan's first action was to put on her headphones and call him, "Li Yanli."
"Yes, I am."
Only after hearing his voice would Shu Lan wake up completely, get up and wash, then go next door to wake up Shu Maomao, and go to various places in the base to replenish resources.
Breakfast is made with steamed buns frozen in the freezer. You can take them out and thaw them and steam them.
There is also soy milk powder produced on the production line, which can be drunk after being brewed with hot water.
Lunch is steamed rice and ready-made dishes that are packaged in fixed quantities and frozen in a cold storage and can be eaten by simply heating them up.
If you want to eat more, the various canned foods you bought on the ground will come in handy.
Everyone's domestic waste will be collected and placed in the same place, and then Shu Maomao will take it back to the space for decomposition and reuse.
Then there’s the broadcast.
Shu Lan opened the day by saying, "Today marks the hundredth day since the meteorite landed. Thank you all for the supernatural powers you were forced to bestow upon Master Maomao. Thank you for your tireless use of these powers every day to solve various problems for us, allowing our lives to continue to move forward steadily."
The former psychics all laughed. The commander always spoke so honestly.
After living under the protection of commanders and plunderers for many years, the hatred related to superpowers has long ceased to exist.
"Ten years ago, we fought the zombies to the death, each wanting to kill the other. Ten years later, the Zombie King appeared, and humanity was completely defeated. While everyone hated and feared him, they also realized that he was using the most direct method to stop the war and force us humans to focus on the more distant asteroid crisis. If the fighting had continued, there would not have been so many survivors and time to build the current underground base. So I hope you can put aside your prejudices against him and express your sincere gratitude."
"Thank you, Zombie King, for helping us control the zombies and moving the evil river next to us."
"Thanks to a zombie named Jiang Jun, who came all the way from the north to help us connect to this base broadcast that can connect everyone."
On the ground, Liu Tianyang nudged Jiang Jun next to him with his elbow: "I'm praising you."
Jiang Jun raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. Even though his heart was rotten, he still felt warm inside when he heard humans praise him by name.
"The outside world seems to be in endless darkness right now, but this is only because Blue Planet is injured and sick. The sun is still in its original position. Humans will slowly heal from injuries. I believe that Mother Blue Planet is also in the process of healing. We will eventually see the dawn again. It's time to wake up, everyone."
Thunderous applause rang out in the base, for the commander and for themselves who had persisted in living until this moment.
Shu Lan also turned on the music player and played the song she least wanted to hear on the radio - "A Heart Full of Gratitude".
"I came from chance, like a speck of dust..."
People get up, move around, sleep, and then get up again to the sound of singing.
These repetitive days don’t seem too dull because they are embellished with stories shared by everyone.
"My name is Hu Wenyu. I used to work as a clerk in a logistics company. I'm nothing special, but today it's my turn. The commander said everyone has to speak for half an hour, and I don't know what to say. So I'll just introduce my family to everyone..."
"My name is Fang Botao, and I'm from Jinshan Province. I'm not a student, but I'm very strong. I used to go to big cities with my uncles and aunts from the village to work on construction sites. But my wife is very capable. My wife Zhongmei is a nurse, and she... Forget it, I'd better not say it, otherwise she will be speechless when it's her turn."
