Apocalyptic Paradise

Chapter 36

Chen Zhuxia didn't speak any more, just kept walking in the cave, reached the end, turned back and continued walking.Yuan Dingfang wanted to say something, but he moved his mouth a few times and then stopped, so he had no choice but to follow her step by step.When turning a corner, Chen Zhuxia moved too fast and bumped into Yuan Dingfang's chest with a bang.

"Hey, Zhu Xia, how are you, are you not hurt?" Yuan Dingfang shouted eagerly, wanting to see her face, but the light in the cave was too dim.In desperation, he reached out to touch her face.It was smooth and smooth, and it didn't hurt.His thick and dry palms stroked her face delicately. Although she was sure that she was fine, his hands were still reluctant to leave.Chen Zhuxia didn't speak and didn't stop, for a full minute, Yuan Dingfang stopped hurriedly, as if waking up from a spring dream, and argued: "I really didn't mean to take advantage of you."

"Hmph." In the dark, Chen Zhuxia chuckled twice.Yuan Dingfang sneered, and hurriedly defended again: "It's really not." At this moment, he was embarrassed and anxious, and didn't know how to deal with it.Suddenly, he felt a small hand touching his face, and he was startled—it was her hand!

Chen Zhuxia touched a few, and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, we're even."

"That's all?" Yuan Dingfang was stunned.

"Otherwise, what do you want?" Chen Zhuxia asked back.

"No, I don't want to."

After this episode, Chen Zhuxia's anger also disappeared.The two returned to their original place together.On the way back, Yuan Dingfang said: "You walk ahead, don't get too close, or you will hit you again."

"Does it really not hurt when the bison hits you?" Chen Zhuxia asked.

"It hurts a little, but it's going to be okay."

Chen Zhuxia stopped suddenly again, leaned forward, groped his body with his hands, studied while touching, and asked him: "Besides this, is there any other change in the body?"

"No, no more." Yuan Dingfang's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

"But why do I feel that your heartbeat is faster than before?" Chen Zhuxia said in a serious tone.As she spoke, she stretched out her ears and listened carefully for a while. Yuan Dingfang's chest sounded like someone was beating a snare drum.Breathing can't help but hastened.

"It's getting louder."

"If you get so close again, it will definitely be louder." Yuan Dingfang held back for a long time, and finally spoke the truth.

"Oh——" Chen Zhuxia looked suddenly enlightened, and quickly pulled his hands away from him.

The two returned to the front hole.Wang Ke and Deng Yun had already cooked and waited for them.

Mingji warmly greeted Yuan Dingfang and waited for everyone to sit down.Ming Ji cleared his throat and said seriously: "Well, let me tell you three about the rules of our team."

"The rule is that we are teammates. When encountering dangers and difficulties, everyone must provide help within our ability. But pay attention, it is within our ability to help each other without endangering your own life. Therefore, Dingfang, Don't do it again next time. This time, I thank you very much."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ke took the lead in applauding.Others also took a few symbolic shots.

"Well, Dingfang, please say a few words." Yuan Dingfang remained silent.

Chen Zhuxia said: "Let me speak for him, he will not be like this in the future. He said that he just wanted to test how hard his chest is today."

"Puchi." Wang Ke and Deng Yun couldn't bear it, and laughed in a low voice.Ming Ji also gave a wry smile helplessly, why did he feel that these two people were a bit dud.

After the speech, everyone began to eat - beef soup.The rare thing is that the mutation of this bison is not very serious, and it tastes a bit meaty.

After the meal, work continued.With the lessons of the morning.Ming Ji and Yuan Dingfang began to think about strengthening the cave door.The four women would skin and carve the bison and cook bacon and bacon.Gu Gong and Gao Qiang's spirits also improved a lot.

Chen Zhuxia looked at the pale cheeks of the two and said, "It's better for them to get more exposure to the sun."

In order to increase the scope of activities, everyone discussed adding a fence outside the cave.

In this way, ordinary beasts cannot come in, and when encountering large beasts, it will take more time to prepare.

All the people went to battle together, either chopping wood or weaving rattan, and it took five or six days to make it together.Yuan Dingfang felt that it was too hard for Chen Zhuxia and the others to collect wild vegetables, so every time they went into the mountains, they would pick some wild vegetables with roots and let them plant them in the open space in front of the cave.They lived a primitive life of slash-and-burn farming in prehistoric times, collecting and hunting, and the male dominated the outside and the female dominated the inside.The food obtained is shared equally among everyone.Maybe it's because they have experienced too much and know how to cherish this hard-won survival opportunity and the few partners. Anyway, unpleasant things rarely happen between them.Everyone is very conscious.These people have their own characteristics. Gu Gong used to be a soldier, with a down-to-earth personality and a hard-working personality; Gao Qiang is engaged in scientific research and is pragmatic and motivated; The core figures in this group of people; Wang Ke, lively and energetic; Deng Yun is kind and kind, quite like a elder sister.

After Gao Qiang's body recovered, he started to fiddle with his mechanical research after working.Chen Zhuxia gave him a few more batteries.Two days later, their radio received intermittent signals.Several people couldn't help cheering.

The content in it is nothing more than saying that the world situation will get better and better, disasters are only partial, difficulties are only immediate, and light is sure to come.

"You said, if the situation gets better, shall we go back or what should we do?" Ming Ji asked.

Yuan Dingfang didn't speak, just looked at Chen Zhuxia.Chen Zhuxia said, "I'll just stay here."

Others talked a lot, some said they wanted to leave, some said they wanted to stay, and some said they didn't know what to do.

After discussing, how should they live or how to live.The weather is getting better and better, and summer has begun.

The plants on the mountain are getting more and more lush.The vegetable field in front of their cave is getting bigger and bigger. In order to prevent wild animals from trampling on them, they also surrounded the vegetable field with a fence.Taking advantage of the abundance of food, everyone began to store a large amount of dried vegetables and jerky.The current cave has been divided into several areas, including residential areas, storage areas, and sanitation areas.

And in order to have a private space, several people discussed and each chose their own site.

Chen Zhuxia originally planned to share a room with Xiaoyun.Xiaoyun stood on Wang Ke's side alertly and sensiblely.Yuan Dingfang took the opportunity to come over.The two bachelors, Gu Gong and Ming Ji, got together again.

Yuan Dingfang held a torch and entered the site belonging to the two of them. He first inserted the torch into the wall, and began to lay hay and animal skins on the ground layer by layer.

After he tidied up, Chen Zhuxia lay down naturally.Yuan Dingfang put out the torch with water and lay down beside her.

"Dingfang, let's stay."

"I thought about it, but it's still not right. What about your space?"

"Maybe it will disappear one day. My adoptive father said that things that come suddenly are also very likely to leave suddenly. Artifacts are the most unreliable." Chen Zhuxia said calmly.

"You're right. Let's see in a few days." Yuan Dingfang said as he pulled the quilt towards her, and they slept side by side.Yuan Dingfang slept like a very honest, straight body, motionless.

That night, in her dream, Chen Zhuxia saw the ancient book glowing red again, and then the ancient book flew away as if it had grown wings. She was so anxious that she chased after it. The ancient book flew higher and higher, but she still chased it wildly Reluctantly, chasing and chasing, she suddenly found that she was already in the middle of a vast ocean, surrounded by vast water.No land, no people.The water surface rose higher and higher, submerging himself a little bit.The strange thing was that his body couldn't move at all, and he could only watch helplessly as the flood flooded him.She was anxious but there was nothing she could do.At this moment, the ancient book opened by itself, and she could clearly see the scarlet words on it: 2013, August 8th, Dashui.The ancient book was brushed up and down, a strong wind suddenly rose on the calm water, and a huge wave like a hill hit her.

In desperation, she could only shout loudly: "Ding Fang—"

"Zhu Xia—" Yuan Dingfang heard the shout, and a carp sat up straight.Chen Zhuxia also sat up abruptly.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"Dream." After Chen Zhuxia finished speaking, she subconsciously touched her right hand, but the ring on her middle finger was gone!

"Light it up, light it up quickly." Yuan Dingfang groped to light the pine branches, and the flame grew from small to large, slowly illuminating everything in the cave.Chen Zhuxia persevered and searched around the bed.

"what happened?"

"Missing the ring?"

"which one?"

"So that one." Yuan Dingfang also helped to find it.

After rummaging around in vain, Chen Zhuxia sat down on the ground and said, "Forget it, don't look for it. I can't find it." The ring couldn't be taken off even with force, so how could it fall off by itself?Now there is only one explanation and it disappears by itself.Really answered that sentence: suddenly come, suddenly disappear.Suddenly, I was not even mentally prepared.Then the dream just now was her revelation and farewell.Is that line of scarlet letters on the ancient book also the last revelation to me?
