Since the safety netting was installed on my self-built house, I feel incredibly safe.
Even the two children preferred to stay at home and play.
Yang Muyi also plans to find a hen for the two of them to raise.
However, after the apocalypse, not to mention live hens, even eggs are hard to find.
So Shen Jing can use points to exchange for eggs, and then use the eggs to make egg pancakes for breakfast.
The other survivors would probably be too stunned to move if they smelled the eggs.
However, their usual nutrition from eating fish alone wasn't enough, and besides, they didn't have enough points to buy fish from Zhang Ze. A group of people had previously tried to take over Zhang Ze's fishpond and well, but Zhang Run led his men to wipe them out.
It was only then that everyone realized that Zhang Ze had an older brother.
Moreover, the older brother is a close confidant of the base commander, and even the mother works at the service center.
No wonder he's made a fortune by tending his fishpond.
This day, however, was different from any other.
Around 2 PM, Gu Yan would usually go upstairs to cook for Shen Jing.
But he was half an hour late that day, and even Yang Muyi didn't make it back for her lunch break.
When Gu Yan came up, Shen Jing threw a cushion at him. Gu Yan could have dodged it, but he simply stood still. Actually, he knew that Shen Jing hadn't used much force; she always had.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Jing approached, she glanced at his arm.
"Was it the base chief who sent people to beat you up this time too?" Shen Jing picked up a cushion and patted his arm.
"It hurts." Gu Yan's cry of pain came more naturally now. "I thought I had hidden it well."
Shen Jing had him sit on the sofa, then took out scissors from her spatial storage and cut open his sleeve. The bruises on it hadn't faded, and there were new wounds. She covered them with her fingers and eventually skillfully disinfected and bandaged them.
"Not very good at killing zombies."
“But if I kill someone, I’m afraid you’ll hate me.” Gu Yan looked relaxed, seemingly enjoying Shen Jing’s concern.
Shen Jing paused in bandaging his wound. "You were just trying to protect yourself, you fool."
She knew Gu Yan wasn't stupid.
Moreover, he's becoming increasingly adept at feigning innocence and playing the victim.
After putting the medicine box back into her space, Shen Jing took out a bottle of nutrient solution for him.
"Don't faint again." Shen Jing's expression was full of disgust.
Gu Yan walked over, took the nutrient solution in his hand, and nodded seriously: "I... I won't do it again next time."
"Just listen for now."
The reinforcement of the self-built house has been completed, and Shen Jing has installed a generator on the first floor. This generator was brought back from outside the base after going through the proper procedures, so it will be convenient to use electricity in the future.
When Yang Muyi found out, she didn't know how to describe her feelings.
It turns out she brought back a gold nugget from the street.
Since Shen Jing came to their home, their lives have improved dramatically.
"I think Sister Jing must be a fairy!" Zhou Tong and Zhou Hui chattered around the fish tank.
"I wish the fish could grow up quickly. I know my sister loves to eat fish the most."
"Then I'll be in charge of raising the chickens. I don't know when Mom will bring a hen home."
"There's not a single chicken feather to be found in the entire base... let alone a hen!"
"Hmph! I'm going to raise it anyway!"
When Yang Muyi got home from work, she saw that her two children were still arguing, and her mood inexplicably improved. As long as they're alive, it's okay to be annoying as long as they're alive.
I was supposed to be able to leave work normally today, but then people started causing trouble while queuing at the gate... and quite a few people died.
Actually, it has nothing to do with them.
However, Yang Muyi was in charge of logistics, and inevitably saw many of the survivors' corpses.
Actually, everyone is quite uneasy, right?
After all, the weather was becoming increasingly strange, and even the interior of the base was not spared.
But the survivors outside are in an even worse situation, having to face cannibalistic zombies!
After giving the two children a big hug, Yang Muyi explained to them, "I heard that the experts at the base have already studied how to hatch chicks. In the future, there will not only be chicks, but also many other small animals that you can bring home to raise."
"Really? What about the little rabbit?"
"Ah! I want to raise a little rabbit too!"
Yang Muyi did want to...eat.
However, judging by the pace of those experts, it will probably be a long time coming.
Hearing footsteps, she turned around and looked at Shen Jing, who was walking into the kitchen. She quickly changed the subject, saying, "Jing, someone tried to break in again today. I heard that Captain Li killed quite a few people."
It has become commonplace to talk about zombies and dead people in front of children.
When they talked about these things, they never tried to gloss over the truth.
So much so that although the brother and sister were ignorant, they were not naive or foolish.
"The living environment outside has probably been compressed to its limit by the zombies."
"That's not all! Zombies aren't afraid of high temperatures at all; they'll come out to hunt for food even at 55 degrees Celsius!"
"So what have you been doing lately..."
Before Shen Jing could even utter the word "be careful," dark clouds suddenly gathered outside. This immediately brought back unpleasant memories for the group: where did the zombies come from? From that damned acid rain!
It has been more than half a year since the extreme heat began.
Is it going to rain acid again?
Sensing their mother's fear, the two children immediately clung tightly to Yang Muyi's arm.
At this moment, Gu Yan also walked in from outside.
He glanced at Shen Jing before saying calmly, "It's getting dark."
...It got dark.
It's not the darkness of sunset.
Instead, it's like covering the sky with blackout curtains.
Humans underground can no longer see any light unless they light a lighter or torch. However, survivors in the wild are less fortunate; the moment they see a glimmer of light, they might be met with zombies!
Base commander's office.
He Qing was also looking at the darkness outside.
Because his office building has a generator installed, one light is still on.
The "ice crystal" in his palm had already melted into a watery state.
Zhang Run, who was standing next to him, knew a bit about "ice crystals." He ran his hand through his hair in frustration before saying, "Shouldn't this thing return to extreme heat after it melts? How come... how come the whole sky looks like it's about to collapse!"
He Qing's expression was icy as he wiped the water off his hands with a handkerchief.
Then he instructed Zhang Run: "Close the base gates, and have the patrolmen come back too."
"But if that's the case!"
Zhang Run watched as He Qing stood by the dimly lit window, glancing at him briefly, and a chill immediately ran down his spine. He didn't know why He Qing had become so cold and ruthless, but he could only obey He Qing's orders.
Closing the base gates means abandoning the survivors in the wild.
The purpose of recalling the patrols was, of course, to preserve the strength of the official forces.
However, it was also stated that even the survivors of the base were on their own...
"Understood, I'll arrange it right away." In the end, he resigned himself to his fate and left the office.
As the base gates slammed shut, even more desperate cries erupted outside. Moreover, those trying to storm the base became even more extreme. The darkness before the apocalypse instilled fear; the darkness after the apocalypse drove people mad.
They all knew it wasn't just as simple as it getting dark.
It is eternal night.
Eternal night is coming!
