In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
Before the apocalypse, City C was the best developed city, and after the apocalypse, it became a safe place that people flocked to.
Although after the apocalypse, survival resources were in short supply and most families could only live in one room, food and clothing were also a problem. Several waves of zombies and infectious diseases broke out one after another, killing a large number of people.
But now, more than ten years later, things are much better.
No one lives under the overpass anymore in City C. They now trade zombie cores for food, and the more diligent ones can get rice.
Real rice, cooked thinly, is very filling. If you save up a jar of crystal cores, you can even exchange them for two sets of thick clothes.
Although it is much worse than before the end of the world, people cannot always look back on the past. They are much better than those people outside who don’t even have the qualifications to enter the city.
They were starving, without even a place to live, and they might die at any moment. So, they were lucky enough to be like this now.
However, recently, due to resource constraints and insufficient population space, the higher-ups have plans to go back and develop City A.
It is said that even the development team has been prepared.
As soon as this news came out, there were many voices among the people.
"Did the higher-ups really say that? Did they tell me what the arrangements will be after the development? I don't want to go back." The woman spoke as she carefully washed a pair of shoes she had exchanged for the crystal core.
Very ordinary sneakers, gray, but they are a good thing now. I didn’t bear to replace my previous pair of shoes until they were worn out.
"It's been neglected for so many years, and it's become a deserted city. We've finally gotten better here, so who would want to go back?"
A man who had just returned from fetching a bucket of water from the street came in and said, "Water is not cheap, so just clean the outside of your shoes."
"I know this water has been used to wash rice and cups," the woman complained.
"It's not a deserted city. Don't forget, there were some people who didn't evacuate at the beginning." The neighbor who was drying quilts said meaningfully.
The shoe-shine woman was stunned. She exchanged glances with the man and immediately felt something was wrong. "It's over, it's over. This policy from above is truly reckless. Didn't they consider what to do if those people come back and cause trouble?"
"Who said it wasn't? We're even planning to move some of them there. I think they'll have to come back no matter how hard they try," the neighbor said worriedly.
"When entering the city, you must conduct strict checks, otherwise there will be too many people and we will have to redistribute the houses. I don't want to live in the same house with them." The man also frowned.

City A
Shi Qiuli looked at the increasing number of houses surrounding the villa and couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on with them?"
Originally, this was the suburbs of City A, with only a few scattered villas. I don’t know since when, an empty villa nearby was suddenly occupied by someone.
Then, more and more people started living there. After a while, someone even started building houses. First one, then two, three, then dozens...
It is so densely packed that looking down from a high place, it seems as if there is already a residential area here.
"What do you think? It was caught with those fruits." Dr. Zhou sighed.
Shi Qiuli had planted too many fruit trees in her space, and because they were well cared for and highly productive, she couldn't finish eating them all.
In spring, there are crisp snow pears, huge oranges, purple-red mulberries, and sections of sugarcane with excessive sugar content...
In summer, there are even more: thick-fleshed red cherries with small cores, thin-skinned and juicy lychees, as well as apples, bayberries, and loquats...
In autumn, countless peaches, pears, grapes, and plums are harvested again.
There is always plenty of fruit to eat all year round.
Seeing how hungry they were, Shi Qiuli would ride his motorcycle out to share some of the food when he couldn't finish it.
Her original intention was good, but she didn't expect that group of people would actually leave the seeds, plant fruit trees, harvest them, and then carry the fruits outside the wire fence one by one.
I couldn't finish it...
Shi Qiuli got a headache whenever she thought of the scene at that time.
Finally, Shi Yun came forward and taught them how to make canned fruit.
It wasn't that they couldn't finish the food, they just came to thank her.
Later, a family's child fell ill and was about to die. Shi Qiuli threw some medicine away, and they then revered Shi Qiuli even more.
Some people saw Shi Qiuli always fighting zombies and then taking something from their heads.
This group of ordinary people without special powers didn't know what the use of it was. They just knew that Shi Qiuli wanted it, so they gathered together to think of a way. They dressed warmly, tried to kill a zombie, and got a crystal core.
How can I get a crystal core?
They would gather together and when they encountered a lone zombie they would go back to report it and a group of people would come to catch it.
Gradually, his skills in catching zombies improved and his body was exercised.
There are more and more crystal cores in the glass jar, some are big, some are small, some are turbid, some are transparent, and the quality varies, but each one is washed very clean.
When a jar is full, it is sent outside the villa.
They actually just wanted to repay the favor secretly, but they didn't know whether Shi Qiuli would want that thing, so they hid behind the tree and watched secretly.
Shi Qiuli saw the crystal core and called them over to ask the reason.
The group of people answered haltingly and couldn't explain clearly, but she could guess why. Seeing that their clothes were worn out and they looked unkempt, she found some unwanted clothes and threw them to them.
