The blizzard is coming: Start zero-dollar shopping in the apocalypse

In the evening, the radio rang again: "Today's supplies have not been delivered and will continue tomorrow. Please wait patiently. The base will not give up on everyone."

Listening to the repeated broadcasts, Gu Pan was still reassured about the base. She had not heard any negative news about the base in her previous life. Maybe it was because she did not have enough status and knew little, but at least what could be spread out was good, so that's it. It proves that ordinary people have good intentions.

Now that I am an ordinary citizen, I have nothing to worry about, as long as nothing major happens.

The next day, they sat in front of the window and looked outside. Trucks from the base pulled supplies and staff and went out again wearing chemical protective suits.

These scenes sometimes make people feel a little trance-like, as if they are watching a movie, rather than experiencing it themselves. Sometimes they feel far away, and sometimes they feel very close.

Today, people are out again in the corridor, playing chess, chatting, and it’s lively. In fact, everyone doesn’t get along so sincerely. After the battle of the end of the world, a few of them have clean hands and can survive to this point. , some are simple, but some are just pretending to be simple.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng didn't go out today. There were too many people in the corridor, so they exercised in the space and practiced sparring for a while. Their kung fu never fell behind.

There was a knock on the door in the afternoon, and Lu Ruisheng opened the door.

The person who came was the woman who asked them for medicine a few days ago, and the woman whose son committed suicide.

She held a bag of rice in her hand: "Thank you very much for that day. Without the medicine, my husband might not be able to save his hand."

Lu Ruisheng said: "Don't be so polite. We also happen to have medicine. This is an emergency. Can you help me if I meet you?"

The woman shook her head: "No, it's the end of the world. Who doesn't live for themselves? You can give it to us because you are really kind. I don't have so much medicine to give it back to you now. This is a little bit of my heart."

Lu Ruisheng also saw that the other party would definitely not agree to accept this thing, so he accepted it and said: "Okay, then I will accept it. Is your husband's injury okay?"

The woman said: "Well, it's okay. The doctor came later and bandaged it again, so it won't leave any disability."

"That's good." Lu Ruisheng didn't ask anything else. Children are other people's pain, so you can't ask. Sometimes your concern is to open someone's wound, and not asking is also a kind of kindness.

The woman was very haggard. Seeing Lu Ruisheng accept it, she was very happy: "Then I won't bother you."

Lu Ruisheng said goodbye to her without saying anything more.

After the woman left, Gu Pan sighed and said nothing. It was not easy.

The same goes for Lu Ruisheng. How many people are suffering from unbearable psychological pain in the apocalypse.

Fortunately, the only ones left in their family are the old couple. If there was only one left, it would be even more torture.

Although it has been raining recently, the light is brighter than usual in the afternoon, so Gu Pan sits by the window and reads a book.

The water supply at the base is not cut off now. The radio said that the water from the deep well has been tested and is not contaminated and can still be used.

In addition, the daily power supply time has been reduced, only half an hour a day, because of the impact of acid rain at the power station.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng listened to the radio and felt that the acid rain was over and they could pretend to go out for a few days and take out the solar panels.

The days spent at home went by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it had been acid rain for a month. Apart from the frequent quarrels across the door, there was basically nothing going on.

When receiving supplies, Yang Jia was always with Gu Pan, so Wang Yan did not harass her.

Recently, the roofs of many houses have been leaking, but the base has been prepared in advance. They have distributed boards to those who are leaking, and they can just reinforce them themselves. If it is serious, they will also change rooms for them.

However, everything at the base is proceeding in an orderly manner, and it has been reassuring residents that the acid rain will pass soon, so that everyone should not panic.

Gu Pan suddenly felt suspicious, and she asked Lu Ruisheng: "Do you think the top brass of the base can be reborn or predict the future?"

Lu Ruisheng said: "I wouldn't have believed it before, but now I think it's not impossible."

"Some things can only be guessed at, and you really can't be curious about everything."

"That's true. Living a low-key life is better than anything else." After the end of the world, there are many things that cannot be explained in words, so I don't want to go into details.

They are doing well now. They cook at home using recipes during the day, and the charcoal stove is quite easy to use.

Lu Ruisheng sealed the area around the door with plastic, so the meat was stewed in the house and could not be smelled outside.

It’s not hot now anyway, the temperature is still excellent.

Gu Pan calculated that the acid rain was about to pass, and the rain in the past few days seemed to have become lighter.

Another week passed, and one afternoon, the acid rain stopped completely, and the sun finally came out in the sky.

There is a rainbow hanging in the sky to the west, which is very beautiful. The originally yellow sky gradually turns blue.

Gu Pan knew that the acid rain had stopped, but the base's radio kept reminding everyone to wait at home for another three days before going out.

In the past three days, everyone has been able to open the windows, and the smell in the air has gradually become fresher.

This was different from the normal air after rain, so Gu Pan didn't open the window immediately. It wouldn't be too late to wait for two days.

During this time, their home has been using an air purifier, so the air is still okay.

On the third day after the acid rain stopped, the sun was shining brightly, and the radio said it was time to go out.

Gu Pan also knew that the acid rain had completely passed, so he went out for a walk with Lu Ruisheng.

After going out, Gu Pan looked at the buildings in the base. Many metal road signs and plaques were corroded, but the stone buildings were still in good condition.

The construction team at the base is stepping up maintenance. At the entrance of the shopping mall and in many places, there are people cleaning up the mess caused by the acid rain.

The business district and administrative district are currently closed, so everyone comes out with the same thought as they were looking at them, just to look at the sky and the situation.

There are more and more people outside. After being locked up for more than a month, who doesn’t want to come out and walk around?
And I haven’t seen the sun in this month. It’s great to be able to get some sunshine now.

When they returned home, they happened to see Yang Jia escorting a boy out.

Yang Jia enthusiastically introduced to Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng: "This is the author friend I mentioned, Chen Fengzhou."

Then she said to Chen Fengzhou: "These two are the neighbors I told you, sister Gu Pan and brother-in-law. They take good care of me."

After Yang Jia knew that Gu Pan was older than her, she slowly changed her name to Sister Gu Pan. She felt that it was closer to her, as if she had relatives, so that she would not be so lonely in the end of the world.

Chen Fengzhou was quite tall, polite, and a bit uncommunicative. At this time, he scratched his head and said, "Hello, my name is Chen Fengzhou."

Gu Pan was more tolerant of social fear because she was not a social cow, so she greeted him with a smile.

Lu Ruisheng also greeted him with a smile: "Hello, we will be neighbors from now on, so you don't have to be so restrained."

Chen Fengzhou nodded: "Yes, I will move here in two days. I will ask for your advice in the future."

Gu Pan said: "You're welcome, we are learning from each other."

Chen Fengzhou said with a smile: "Then I will go back and clean up first. After cleaning up, I can go to the housing center to cancel the rent."

Gu Pan said: "Okay, Yang Jia, you can see your friend off, we'll go in first."

Yang Jia nodded: "Well, then I'll send him off."
