Chapter 220 The Poor Kid in the Apocalypse (50 chapters)
"But I didn't see it clearly just now, I don't know what this is... Mom, did I bring my uncle back? Is that a bad thing?"
Da Bao asked cautiously, "In the adult world, kinship seems to be quite important. Will people think it's bad that I brought my uncle back?"
He didn't care about other people's opinions, but he needed to know his mother's thoughts. If his mother said it was good, then it was right!
How could that be!
Chen Dalong has no blood relation to you. Your aunt and cousin are both dead, so he has even less to do with you.
"You only caught one zombie that was trying to attack you, that's impressive!"
Shen Ci praised Da Bao, and of course didn't forget the little boy from the Wang family, before taking the child home. Everything at the base was arranged, and a few people were simply selected to be in charge.
Next, as long as things proceed in an orderly manner, life will gradually return to normal.
As soon as they got on the bus, Shen Ci saw Da Bao open his little schoolbag, only to find it completely empty.
"Dabao, where are the wild vegetables you dug up?"
She was puzzled. What had the child accomplished after half a day on the mountain?
"Mom, I dug up a lot of wild vegetables, but I gave them all to Wang Xiaojun to take home. Our family doesn't lack food, but their family does. Today, when my uncle appeared, it was Wang Xiaojun who discovered them first."
He grabbed me and we ran, but we were too slow and my uncle caught up. So I figured out how to deal with my uncle.
Today I even shared my lunch with Wang Xiaojun, Mom. I didn't eat for nothing! At noon, Wang Xiaojun gave me the rice balls he brought, which his mom made.
I just took my things out. He was hesitant to eat at first, but I made him. He even said he'd treat me to whatever he had next.
After making new friends, Da Bao became noticeably more talkative, enthusiastically recounting the events that had occurred along the way. He seemed to be in good spirits and didn't appear frightened at all.
Relieved, Shen Ci was finally able to talk to him without constantly observing his condition, as the child was clearly excited.
"Dabao is such a generous child. But food is precious these days. Giving it occasionally is fine, but giving it to others too often is not good. If you stop giving it to others one day, they will think you are wrong."
Mom isn't saying your friend is bad, it's just that we help in emergencies but not in long-term relationships. If being nice to your friend makes him feel burdened, then you need to be careful about how you treat him.
Okay, let's not talk about that. What did you have for lunch with your friends?
She didn't expect that Wang Xiaojun would actually give Dabao rice balls. Was this an extra portion prepared by Li Ping, or did Wang Xiaojun divide it out himself?
This family is quite good so far; they are the first family to trust Shen Ci and the base.
"We ate a self-heating hot pot, spicy flavor! Wang Xiaojun was so excited he cried, saying he hadn't had hot pot in a long time, and he even finished the soup."
Before I could even say anything, Wang Xiaojun said he would keep it a secret and would definitely not tell anyone.
It seems that Da Bao really likes this peer, but Wang Xiaojun is also quite sensible, and Shen Ci's affection for their family is even stronger.
Similarly, Wang Xiaojun, who had just returned home, was also questioned by his own mother.
After thoroughly checking the child inside and out to make sure there were no wounds on his body, Li Ping then turned her attention to other matters.
"Did you give Da Bao the rice ball he was supposed to eat? Don't you dare eat it."
"The Shen family has been kind to our family. These rice balls are made with rice they gave us. You didn't bully Da Bao, did you? He's younger than you, you can't bully him."
Wang Xiaojun nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with excitement. Today he finally ate something flavorful, and he was overwhelmed with happiness!
“I gave it to him, and Da Bao said it was delicious.”
He also treated me to something to eat, and we shared the food. Da Bao is amazing; he can take down a zombie all by himself. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to start exercising too!
"Oh, right, Mom, Da Bao gave me all the wild vegetables he dug up. Look!"
He took out the wild vegetables from the bag, a whole bag full! They were lush and green, very fresh! There were all kinds of them. Li Ping took them out and looked at them. They were all edible, and there weren't any that had been mixed in with the wrong ones.
"Dabao is a good boy. This stuff is enough for us to eat for a long time."
You must take good care of him from now on, and don't bully him. When our vegetables are ready, we'll send some to them to try..."
Such back-and-forth exchanges, full of human warmth, have become rare since the end times, as everyone prioritizes self-preservation.
There is nothing wrong with this, but there is nothing wrong with such exchanges either. If the world is to return to normal, these things will also exist.
Where there are people, there is the concept of human relationships.
Having resolved his biggest worry, Chen Dalong became a zombie and was caught on an electric shock line. Some even suggested cutting off both of the zombies' arms to better control them.
This humane suggestion was rejected by Shen Ci.
Zombies are monsters, but they are also mutated humans. This makes you feel like you're the pork on the chopping block. Besides, who knows if the person you catch today is a mutated relative or friend of yours?
Who can bear to watch someone they know have their hands chopped off?
More importantly, once people get used to killing their own kind, their perception changes. To protect themselves, they have no choice but to kill zombies, especially since zombies usually attack people on their own initiative.
But cutting off both hands is torture.
The nature of these zombies is completely different. They can be used even without being cut down, and if they are ruined, they can be cremated and buried. These zombies are also victims of this natural disaster.
All the zombies they caught were sent to a nearby pit to be burned and buried after they died. Later, when the apocalypse ended, a monument could be erected in this place.
Tell people that a catastrophe once occurred here, and these dead people are the best reminder.
Living, they are zombies, a menace; dead, they are still our good people.
...
As Dawn Base continues to recruit new survivors, the management of the entire base is constantly being optimized, and capable individuals are selected to take on management positions to assist Shen Ci in managing the base.
The base's protective measures are becoming more and more comprehensive, and it is now fully powered. The tray of eggs that Shen Ci found in Da Bao's space turned out to be fertilized!
These eggs were delivered by the farm and placed in the same space as before. They won't expire or spoil. I don't know how a whole tray of them managed to slip through the net.
However, this is a good thing for the current base.
After the high-temperature apocalypse ended, although it rained and plants are now growing back on the ground, there are very few animals. You could say that you haven't seen a single living animal for months.
How can small animals protect themselves under such high temperatures? Almost all of them perished.
After being kept in the villa for a period of time, Shen Ci's eggs hatched under suitable temperatures.
