Chapter 262 We Are Yours
"Tangtang, you can't do this. What will you do when you have your own child in the future? You can't leave the child to us to take care of, right? We can help take care of the child, but the child won't kiss you anymore." The female classmate teased Lu Xingtang.
Lu Xingtang scratched her hair irritably: "Let's wait until that day. If I really have a child, I will try my best to learn to be a good mother." She will not let her children be as stupid as she was when she was a child.
Ji Yanmo held Lu Xingtang's hand: "Don't worry, I'm here. We'll take care of our child together. And I believe our child will be an obedient baby."
Because there were children, Lu Xingtang found a pile of dark-colored clothes from the space and made them look old to prevent any survivors from seeing them and harming them. He avoided trouble whenever possible.
It was just that it was impossible to take out the milk powder for the children. She could only mix the milk powder in the space and take it out for the children to eat. Because of mixing the milk powder, Lu Xingtang was reprimanded by three teachers at the same time for the first time.
"The water used to mix the milk powder must be warm boiled water, with the water temperature controlled at around 40 degrees Celsius. This baby is ten months old, and ten-month-olds use stage two milk powder. He's a big eater, and he needs about a thousand milliliters of milk powder a day..."
"Children's stomachs are very fragile, so be sure to clean the bottles and nipples..."
"And clothes..."
Lu Xingtang silently accepted the teachers' advice and said that he would prepare the milk powder, wash the bottles and do the laundry properly.
Lu Xingtang and his friends did not slow down because of the four children, because everyone was eager to go home. They had been away from the imperial capital for ten years and they missed their home there very much. No matter how their home was destroyed by the earthquake, it was still their home.
Lu Xingtang had forgotten the exact day he left the imperial capital. It had been about nine years since he left. His teachers and classmates had been gone for even longer, a full ten years!
The imperial capital, historical sites and skyscrapers in my memory are all gone, all destroyed in the earthquake.
From the moment they arrived in the imperial capital, they saw adobe houses everywhere, with few brick and tile houses or two-story Western-style buildings. However, the adobe houses were occupied. Lu Xingtang and his companions saw many children playing happily near the adobe houses. Near their house, there were also ordinary people living there, dressed in rags, like beggars, but every one of them had a smile on their face.
Su Cheng took the initiative to say: "Tangtang, I'll go ask them about the situation in the imperial capital. They seem to be living and working in peace and contentment..."
Lu Xingtang agreed, but Su Cheng did not bring anyone with him for fear of scaring them.
Half an hour later, Su Cheng returned with a smile on his face. "Tangtang, Amo, although the imperial capital was destroyed in the earthquake, it has been rebuilt since the earthquake stopped. The imperial capital has suffered many natural disasters since then, but no earthquakes. After the official base of the imperial capital was rebuilt, the reconstruction of the imperial capital began. Although the imperial capital is not as large as it was before the earthquake, all those who returned to the imperial capital and those who took refuge in the imperial capital have been properly arranged.
They were originally from Jicheng. After the earthquake in the imperial capital, Jicheng also suffered a disaster. The imperial capital happened to be rebuilt, so they went to help rebuild the imperial capital. Later, they were allocated a house. Although it was an adobe house, I saw the layout of their house. It has three bedrooms, two living rooms and a yard, and it can be renovated. At the same time, they were also allocated land and food.
They only need to farm to feed themselves and don't need to pay taxes. The government said that survival in the apocalypse is extremely difficult. If they take away the food, and a natural disaster hits, everyone will be hungry and cold, and may even die on the road to escape! With food in hand, as long as everyone is diligent enough, they won't starve to death!
"Su Cheng, didn't you ask them? This place is so close to HB Province, won't they be harassed by other survivors or bipeds?" someone asked.
Su Cheng said, "I've asked about this, and they said no. We've reached a consensus. As long as the survivors come, they'll be given food and sent to the official base in the imperial capital. By then, they'll all have food and housing! The government will make arrangements, but the survivors who come later definitely can't compare to the first group. The houses allocated to the survivors now are very small, like cramped quarters. There's even less food and land, and the location is quite remote!"
Unfortunately, because of the Sheng family's affairs, he left the imperial capital and didn't make it. None of them made it.
"Two-legged beasts dare not run wild in the imperial capital. Now everyone can identify the characteristics of two-legged beasts. In every village, as long as there are people, there will be soldiers patrolling. Once people discover a two-legged beast, they will report it to the soldiers, and the soldiers have the right to shoot the two-legged beast.
When the Imperial Capital first discovered that the Twolegs were cannibals, they launched a campaign to exterminate them. This campaign lasted for three years, and they killed all the Twolegs near the Imperial Capital. As a result, the Twolegs dared not approach the Imperial Capital. Even in places close to the Imperial Capital, such as Jicheng or HB Province, the Twolegs did not dare to run wild! They were afraid of being wiped out.
After hearing Su Cheng's words, everyone's eyes lit up. If the imperial capital was really good, based on their abilities, they could definitely stay in the imperial capital.
They all looked at Lu Xingtang. Compared with the imperial capital, Lu Xingtang was more important.
Family? Friends? It was the end of the world, and family and friends could no longer be trusted. The "family" they had shared life and death with was the one they trusted the most.
"Tangtang, although we are from the Imperial Capital, we won't stay here for too long. We will go with you to Lancheng to establish our own base!" The teachers and classmates all expressed their stance, saying they would not be swayed by the Imperial Capital's sugarcoated tactics. "We are yours!"
Lu Xingtang was amused by their words. "Having said that, we will definitely have to stay in the imperial capital for a while after returning. You have things to do. Just hurry up and do them. If you really want to go to Lancheng with me, find out more about the official base in the imperial capital. When we get to Lancheng, we can just copy them!"
Su Cheng and others took Lu Xingtang's words to heart.
After entering the imperial capital, there was no danger. Houses and land were everywhere. Outside the imperial capital, there were more adobe houses. After entering the imperial capital, they found that there were still many brick and tile houses. Most of the brick and tile houses were collected from the ruins of the earthquake. The fact that they can still be put into use shows how good their quality is.
And if you don't look carefully, you can't tell that these walls are treasures found in the ruins.
Along the way, they encountered many soldiers who checked them. After confirming that they were not bipeds, they asked for their ID cards. Lu Xingtang and his friends had their ID cards issued by the Suihe Border Control Office. The soldiers knew it at a glance and let them go. "You must register at the official base first. Whether you stay or wait and see and then leave, you must register at the official base first!"
There was no need to find the official base's location, as it was well-signposted. If you couldn't find the way, you could ask someone. After some careful inquiry, I discovered that the imperial capital's operations weren't as sophisticated as they had been before the apocalypse, but they were already perfectly organized. All the relevant departments could be found, and there wasn't any chaos at all.
Lu Xingtang silently took notes in the space, and she also wanted to do the same for her base.
