Coming Back With Fruitful Results

Finally, Cheng Qi and his men went to find a forklift. All of them helped to dismantle the huge assembly line equipment and loaded it onto the heavy container truck with all the raw materials they could find. As for the finished solar panels, they were all installed on one military car, while the soldiers in the original car all packed themselves inside the other three military cars.

The mission was completed successfully, and many crystal nuclei were also harvested. Li Ming was even more grateful to Zhan Yun and Su Ruizhe. Thanks to them, this time, even if they were not calculated by others, they might have been severely injured under the paws and teeth of the high-level zombies and zombie dogs. Li Ming made up his mind to write better praises for them in the report once he went back to help them to receive more benefits.

They picked up the wounded soldiers who were resting in the small building, and the team was back on its way.

Those wounded soldiers were lucky. They all carried the virus and successfully awakened their powers. There was also a young soldier who awakened to a very special spatial ability. The space was five cubic meters, large enough to hold many things in it. At that time, Guo’An became a big treasure in the team. In the future, no matter if it was to collect materials or carry things, it would be easily solved with the help of this spatial wizard.

Three days later, the team returned with a full load. They had only left for six to seven days, but the base had changed a lot. Perhaps, because the number of survivors who signed up for the construction of the base wall was relatively large, the construction of the wall was rapid. From outside, the high walls and towers looked like those in the historical TV series.

There was one additional gate. The gate on the left was reserved for the new survivors entering the city. These days, many survivors who had listened to the radio announcement continue to come to the base. All of them were standing in line at the gate to register and enter the city. The city gate on the right was for those who had already obtained the temporary residence permits and official identity cards of the base. It was very quick and convenient to show their identity cards to gain access.

Su Ruizhe happened to see a convoy leaving the city. It looked like they were from the city guard. They needed to leave the city every day to clean up the zombies nearby.

Four military cars and a heavyweight truck attracted the attention of those entering and leaving the city gates. The soldiers in charge of guarding the city gates immediately reported this situation to their superiors, and opened the city gate to the maximum limit so that the motorcade could pass.

It was just that Zhan Yun’s temporary residence permit had expired. They needed to go to the registration office to re-register and obtain formal identity cards.

Zhan Yun had to park their car at the gate of the city and go to get their ID cards first.

Li Ming and his group with the solar power equipment rushed to hand in the task. After greeting Zhan Yun, they left first.

After entering the city, Su Ruizhe found that there were many more tents in the open space near the city gate. They asked a soldier, and understood that most of them were survivors who either could not afford or were unwilling to pay the rent.

“Why won't they work? Are the jobs in the city all taken? ” Zheng Jiahe asked strangely.

He watched the people either motionlessly lie inside the tent, or get out of the tent and look for people to beg for food everywhere. Although, this group mainly consisted of old, weak, women and children, there were many men with working hands and feet.

“How can I? At the beginning of the base construction, there was a shortage of people everywhere. These people were reluctant to work because they were too bitter.” The soldier said with a rather disdainful look.

He said that the system of their base was very humanized. Even for the old, the weak and the disabled, the base would think of ways to arrange some easy work for them.

For the elderly, they arranged some watering and sweeping work. If they were not in good health, they would help to sort out data. For the sick, the base would also provide medication, but after recovery, they needed to work to pay off the medicine they owed. Some of the simplest work would also be arranged for those who were not flexible.

Like Wang Ergou, who was now in charge of the registration of new survivors at the gate of the city, he suffered from poliomyelitis when he was a child and his left leg was severely atrophied, but he could still write.

“Su Ruizhe!” Suddenly someone called Su Ruizhe’s name.

Subconsciously looking the way where the voice came from, Su Ruizhe saw a girl who was familiar. She was wearing a grey gauze skirt and her hair was tangled like straw. However, after pulling her hair apart, her face was very delicate and lovely.

“Who are you?”

The young girl didn’t expect Su Ruizhe to ask such a question, and her face suddenly turned white.

“I’m Xu Jiani!”

The name and the face seemed really familiar, but Su Ruizhe still couldn't remember.

“What can I do for you?” Since he couldn't remember her, Su Ruizhe was not reluctant. He asks the other party what she wants to do directly.

The girl’s lips trembled, her eyes were tearful, and she looked like she had been hit hard.

What did she want to do? What else could she want to do? It had been two days since she came to the survivors’ base. The next day was the last day of free accommodation, so she had to do dirty and tiring work. How could she bear it?

She accompanied her father to the task hall to register a brick moving job. This would give only five work points every day. She paid the accommodation fee with two points, and only three work points were left. It was estimated that the food would last only for two and a half days.

Before arriving at the survivors’ base, she had not had enough to eat for many days, and she really did not want to live a life full of hunger.

She saw Su Ruizhe and this group of people just entering the city from another door. They had cars and guns. They must be a team. They could also talk with those soldiers who were unfriendly. They must have a very powerful position.

When she was at school, Su Ruizhe’s seat was just across the aisle from her. At that time, everyone was at the age of love. When she chatted with her classmates, she heard Su Ruizhe and his group chatting and he mentioned that she was very beautiful. But she knew that Su Ruizhe’s family was not good, so she never had further contact with him.

Maybe, maybe he still likes her now? If he is willing to help her…

Xu Jiani’s heart felt like it was being scratched by a kitten. Seeing that Su Ruizhe was about to enter the registration office, she couldn't help but shout for him.

It’s just… He doesn’t remember her anymore…

It’s just a summer vacation. Why doesn’t he remember her?!

How could she know that the short summer vacation she thought of was just like a whole lifetime for Su Ruizhe. Su Ruizhe came back from a new life, his eyes were only full of Zhan Yun. Why would he remember a classmate who he was not very familiar with?

“I, I……” Xu Jiani could not speak.

Su Ruizhe became a little impatient. In his opinion, he was just walking on the road, was called out by someone he didn’t recognize, and they didn’t talk for a long time, which made him confused.

“What’s the matter with you? If it’s nothing, I’ll be leaving first.”

“You… You… ” Xu Jiani’s eyes became red with grievances.

“Hahaha, Xiaozhe, I didn’t expect you to be so confused about this custom.” Cheng Jiao comically came over and grabbed Su Ruizhe’s shoulder, “It’s obvious that other girl likes you!”

“I don’t even know her?!” Seeing Zhan Yun standing by the side with a smile, Su Ruizhe quickly clarified their relationship.

At this time, there were many people around. They all pointed at Xu Jiani. How could the little girl stand this? She stamped her feet in hatred and ran away in tears.

But Su Ruizhe continued standing there with a question mark on his head.

“Let's go. Don’t talk nonsense. Go ahead and register. People are waiting.” Zhan Yun pulled Cheng Jiao away, grabbed Su Ruizhe’s wrist, and dragged him to the registration office.

Jiang Xuzhou had ordered formal ID cards to be prepared for them. Once they registered and added their fingerprints on record, they got the ID cards smoothly. With the ID cards, they only needed to swipe the card to eat or exchange materials, which was very simple.

As for the girl who just appeared inexplicably and ran away inexplicably, she didn’t leave much of an impression on them.

The author has something to say:

Thanks to Yulong and liangbaikai who are editing. The chapters are edited~

[The Small Wooden Theater]

They finally arrived at the warehouse. Soldiers opened the door and a group of zombie dogs swarmed out.

Zheng Jiahe: I’ll fight ～～

Cheng Jiao: come to me with the strong wind ~

Cheng Qi: pika, pika, pikachu ~

Zombie dog: Director, are we on the wrong set?

Zheng Jiahe: if you don’t mind, you’ve got all the salaries for the group performance today. If you want to stop working, hurry up!

Zombie dog: No, we are attacking other groups. What’s in your leading group?

Su Xiaozhe pinches Xiaohei: sorry, we are the cat party.

[Little Theater On The Street]

Zheng Jiahe: zombie dog! It’s time to show my heroism!

Cheng Jiao: Hey! Relay! Let the wind blow~

Cheng Qi: press the shaft! You are electricity, you are light, you are… Wait! Why is Jiaojiao faster than my lightning? Want to know my electricity or the local tyrant golden finger!

Zheng Jiahe: Jiao Jiao and I are husband and wife partners, brother-in-law, do you want to get involved? Ah? How am I flying? I’m gone with the wind? Wait! I don’t want to reach the heavens!

Cheng Jiao: it seems to be very hot. I’ll give you some tornadoes to cool down! (＾＿＾)

Cheng Qi: Ho Ho Ho, who is your brother-in-law? I’ll tell you that you may not exist if that comes true.

Zheng Jiahe: report! This family is too fierce. I apply for CP change!

Mo Shang: Yes! I don’t think you dare to be a third party, do you? Dr. Song is beautiful. He likes to pour cold water on you. You can play with him if you don’t want to talk anymore. Yu Dongdong, my god, such a lovable! Boy! As for Xiao Hei, wow, you are! So! Good!

Zheng Jiahe: I got on an enemy ship…

PS. This is a small theater that was challenging as I had food on one hand and typing with the other. Please cherish it and praise me!

As you may have guessed from the top, this is the first chapter out of three that I’ll be posting this week! I know it’s late but Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!

College started up again this week so I’m already tired but I’ll try my best to make sure I update every week but seriously guys wish me luck because I need it… XD

Comment on the solar panels:

Dragon: A solar panel for residential installation weighs up to 40 pounds and around 65 inches. How did they fit SOOOO MANYYYY panels in one jeep?

Jostena: It’s a super military car I guess XD

The mention of that random girl who wanted to use Xiao Zhe:

Dragon: I actually don’t like it when authors portray women as useless and non-working. In this world, women are the MOST hardworking creatures! Even now, we are fighting for stuff like equal pay, equal opportunities, etc.

Jostena: I think she just means this specific woman because our other two cuties in the team are totally badass >w0

When ZY just smiled after SRZ clarified his relationship with that girl:

Dragon: Devilish smile hahaha

Jostena: That smile that says he’ll kill someone if they try to even touch wifey XD
