As Jian Anping emerged from the immortal abode, his voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"Xiao Ning, Xiao Ning, what are you doing? Come and eat, I've been calling you for ages."
"Okay, I'll be right there. Wait for me, I'll get you a big watermelon." His voice was full of excitement.
"Okay, keep your voice down when you bring the watermelon over. Your sister-in-law won't be able to eat it, and if she hears you, she'll be tempted!"
Jian Anping spoils Li Mengyao rotten. Jian Ning never expected that this big, burly man would be someone who puts his wife and children first.
"I know," Jian Ning replied, taking two large watermelons out of her spatial storage. She carried one in each hand to Jian Anping's house.
Aunt Li made four home-style dishes for lunch, including carp and pork ribs, as well as a cold dish and peanuts with aged vinegar.
Jian Anping cut the watermelon open, scooped out the flesh with a spoon, put it on a plate, and brought it out.
"This is a rare treat! We've already saved the seeds. Let's plant some upstairs later, so we can eat it whenever we want!"
Uncle Li hadn't had watermelon in quite a while. He took a bite and put it in his mouth; it was sweet and juicy.
"That's why we old farmers need to have land. Growing our own food makes us feel at ease. Your uncle just stays in the house all day tending to his little vegetable garden upstairs; there's not much else he can do."
He's just hoping the weather will get better soon; yesterday he was saying he wondered what his hometown was like.
"Uncle Li, don't worry. Once the base is built, we'll be short of talent in all areas, especially those who know how to plant crops."
After all, only with food can people's hearts be at ease. Now, while there's still time, please rest more and take good care of your health. You'll have plenty of time to work later.”
"That's great! People need to be busy; if they're idle, they feel uncomfortable all over."
As Uncle Li spoke, he picked up his wine glass and took a sip. He doesn't usually drink much at home, but he brought it out for a drink today because Jian Ning was here.
Dazhuang was a rather unremarkable kid; he finished his rice in less than ten minutes and then went back to his room.
“Brother, you should talk to him more often. I’ll find some time to teach you two a set of boxing techniques for body training. If the kid has something to do, he won’t be so bored.”
"Okay, I know the child has a lot on his mind, but what can I do in this situation? He stays in his room all day fiddling with some wooden blocks, I don't know what good it is. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, that's fine."
Jian Anping was a rough and uncultured man; he had no idea how to communicate with such a young child. As long as the child ate and slept well, he saw no problem.
Jian Ning and her family enjoyed their lunch to the fullest. Meanwhile, danger was quietly brewing outside.
In the villa area near the hillside, eggs that have not been picked up or discovered are undergoing changes.
A faint, continuous tapping sound echoed.
Soon, sharp pincers emerged from the eggshell. Octopus-like monsters slowly crawled out of the egg. One, two, more than ten, and more and more appeared.
Miao Xin is living a pretty comfortable life now. Although she didn't manage to swindle the jade pendant from Jian Ning, she borrowed several million yuan in online loans in advance and maxed out her credit cards.
I rented this villa halfway up the mountain and transformed it into a safe house for the post-apocalyptic world.
It has complete water and electricity supply, and it has all kinds of supplies.
It even included weapons like pistols, machine guns, and grenades. She had the skill to procure them from the underworld; it took her a lot of effort.
When the apocalypse first occurred, she kept this place hidden from everyone.
It wasn't until recently, after the seawater flooded in, that she brought Li Mingxuan and a few other people she valued to this villa.
Now Zhang Xiaoqiang lives with them, and his main task is to cook for them.
Eating here depends on Miao Xin's mood; the menus are all ordered by her in advance.
Here, she is the queen, the ultimate boss.
No one dared disobey her, because she carried a gun and never let it out of her sight, even when she slept.
Moreover, the room where Miao Xin lived was so secure that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as impregnable. It was extremely sturdy, with not only fingerprint recognition but also iris verification, so even Li Mingxuan couldn't get in except for herself.
As for the distribution of supplies, Miao Xin made all the decisions. Li Mingxuan was now just a plaything for her, and she was even losing interest in him.
Because one of the freshmen who came with them was Liu Wenhao, who was two years younger than Li Mingxuan. Not only was he extremely handsome, but he was also very good at getting along with people. He followed Miao Xin around all day, calling her "Sister Xin, Sister Xin."
He was subtly showing off his physique in front of her, his eight-pack abs making Li Mingxuan envious. This quickly attracted Miao Xin's attention.
Food, clothing, and daily necessities. Now, besides Miao Xin, he is the second person to enjoy the best treatment.
Meanwhile, Li Mingxuan had already been assigned by Miao Xin to feed the chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits.
Every day he also had to collect eggs and clean up manure, chores Li Mingxuan had done before. He had thought about protesting, but after Miao Xin pointed a gun at him once, he became obedient.
These past few days, I don't know where Miao Xin got her hands on some Gu worms, she put one in each person's stomach. If they don't listen to her, they'll experience excruciating pain in their stomachs.
Li Mingxuan only experienced this once, and never dared to upset Miao Xin again.
Only Miao Xin's room in the villa had air conditioning on. The rest of the house was very stuffy. There were also three men and two women who had met at the rescue center.
Their task today is to cut down trees so they can have firewood when it's cold in winter.
Li Mingxuan was sitting in the shade of the courtyard outside, chopping wild vegetables to feed his poultry. He was sweating profusely when he suddenly heard a series of screams coming from afar.
Startled, he instinctively ran over and slammed the villa door shut, then quickly ran inside.
The villa's doors were also tightly shut. These doors were custom-made by Miao Xin; they were comparable to the doors of a vault, and even bombarding them would probably take some effort.
I had just closed the window when I looked back out the window and was so frightened that my face turned pale and I almost threw up.
Because he closed the gate, Zhang Jifeng and Li Zhaojie, who were running back, had no choice but to climb over the wall and jump in.
As soon as they landed, a menacing monster appeared behind them, its pincers covered in blood, which dripped incessantly onto the ground.
Its three eyes were firmly locked onto its prey. Moreover, it could climb walls like a spider, and nothing could stop its advance.
The monster had barely come down halfway when a dense swarm of identical creatures appeared on the wall.
The most terrifying thing was that one of the pliers held the head of Liu Feifei, who had gone out with them to cut down trees.
Only two black holes remained around his eyes, bleeding profusely. The lower half of his face, from the nose down, was mangled and bloody.
