Apocalyptic Paradise

Chapter 48

Yuan Dingfang had left the land for a whole month, and Chen Zhuxia was waiting in torment.This is the first time in her life that she waited so anxiously for a

As the weather turned colder, Chen Zhuxia and the women at the base were busy changing clothes, making bedding, and storing things, without touching the ground every day.These women, regardless of their age, beauty or not, except for those like Wang Ke, were basically divided up.In a peaceful age, these women took advantage of it.Some men kept complaining in private, while others were secretly jealous.But it was all lip service, because with the example of the middle-aged man, no one dared to try the law for the time being.

There are still survivors on the plateau from time to time, whether they are from their own country or from our country.But still mostly men.

Time to enter November.Nuwa [-] has returned.

The excitement of the crowd was no less than last time.Chen Zhuxia was even more excited than last time.She occupied the favorable terrain early and waited eagerly.

As soon as the ship docked, the crew couldn't wait to step down one after another with the pedals.

Chen Zhuxia and Xiaoyun stared at the crowd without blinking.

"Uncle Gu—" Xiao Yun exclaimed excitedly.

"Uncle Ming—" The voice was more urgent.

Until the end of the download, there was no sign of Yuan Dingfang.

Chen Zhuxia's heart sank continuously.She refused to give up and asked: "Has everyone on the boat come down?"

"It's all over, Zhu Xia." Ming Ji held his nose, walked over with difficulty, looked at her with a embarrassed face, and hesitated to speak several times.

"What about the prescription, Mingji?"

"He, he and several comrades disappeared while carrying out the mission." Ming Ji gritted his teeth and said it outright.

"Missing?" Chen Zhuxia couldn't help raising his voice, staring at Mingji suspiciously.

At this time, a man who looked like a leader walked over: "Chen Zhuxia, your husband and boyfriend Yuan Dingfang have been very outstanding this time. We are also deeply saddened by his disappearance... But please rest assured, If he doesn't come back, we will take good care of your life."

"I don't care!" Chen Zhuxia said loudly.The little leader was so scared by her that he couldn't help taking a few steps back.

"Why, so many people have not disappeared, but he is the only one missing? Tell me why?" Chen Zhuxia roared angrily, almost grabbing the man by the collar.

"Zhu Xia—"

"Auntie..." Many people who have friendship with the two stepped forward to persuade and comfort them.

"Zhu Xia, you need to calm down for a while." Wang Ke and Deng Yun dragged her back to the room.

The two sat on the edge of the bed with frowning faces, trying their best to comfort her.

After sitting in a daze for an hour, Chen Zhuxia turned around and lay down on the bed, and said weakly, "Go out, I'll be alone." The three of them looked at each other silently, and finally left the room.

Chen Zhuxia lay paralyzed on the bed, stroking the ring on her hand, feeling as if she had swallowed a piece of gall in her heart, the bitterness was unspeakable.

They were able to persevere after going through so many difficulties and obstacles, but now... If she had insisted on not letting him go, maybe it would not have been like this.

She thought about their mutual support along the way, that simple and warm feeling without any suspicion, like dripping water piercing a stone, reflected bit by bit on her heart that was not soft.

"You just got lost temporarily, will you come back? Was it the same last time... I will wait for you." Chen Zhuxia murmured.After the death of her adoptive parents, she, who was already withdrawn, became more and more reclusive. She was afraid that she would suffer from aphasia if she lived alone for a long time, so she often talked to herself.This habit was lost for a while, and now, in extreme helplessness, she regained it.

Wang Ke and Xiaoyun stood outside the house, listening carefully to the movement inside.

"Auntie, is she a little out of order?" Xiaoyun asked with a sad face.

"It's okay, I often talk to myself, don't worry." Wang Ke comforted her.

Chen Zhuxia locked herself in the room for a whole day.Wang Ke and others were also worried for a day. A few people were afraid of accidents, so Ming Ji and Gu Gong Gaoqiang took turns to watch the night outside.The next morning, Chen Zhuxia walked out of the house with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

At the request of Gao Qiang and Ming Ji, Chen Zhuxia and Ming Ji changed rooms.Because her original room was on the far side.After experiencing the incident that night, everyone has also paid attention to safety issues.

The three women still huddled together every night as before.

Every time at this time, Wang Ke and Xiao Yun would take the initiative to talk about their past affairs to divert Chen Zhuxia's attention.

Houses in the middle of the plateau have been partially built.Part of the masses began to move inwards in batches.As for this place, a pier or something will probably be built in the future.

The houses in the central part are naturally much better than the ones here.The soil is also convenient for farming. Many people received supplies and tools and moved away happily.Chen Zhuxia still didn't move, she was waiting for someone.Wang Ke, Ming Ji and others also stayed with her all the time.

"You guys should follow along. The straw house will definitely be cold in winter." Chen Zhuxia forced a smile and said to the others.

"We like thatched houses, which are breathable." Ming Ji grinned, he really wanted to make a joke to enliven the atmosphere as usual, but felt that it was inappropriate.Finally had to give up.

The weather was getting colder and colder, Chen Zhuxia was working while waiting for Yuan Dingfang.She learned how to knit sweaters from Deng Yun, and dismantled and re-knitted the sweaters that were distributed.Chen Zhuxia was sitting on the horse-trap, dancing the two bamboo needles with concentration.He didn't even realize that someone was by his side.

"Is this for me?" A hoarse voice she was very familiar with sounded.

She suddenly raised her head: "Ding Fang—" She only finished speaking halfway, and then her fist thumped up: "Damn you, why did you come back now?"

"I'm sorry Zhu Xia, I'm slow to roll."

The two embraced tightly, crying and laughing.

After a while, Yuan Dingfang asked, "Do you remember what you promised me?"

"Remember." Chen Zhuxia raised his right hand.

Yuan Dingfang hugged her tightly.

"Did anyone trouble you while I was away?"

"One, not many." Then, Chen Zhuxia didn't hide anything, and told everything about that person breaking the door in the middle of the night.

"We're not here at all." Yuan Dingfang hugged him even tighter after hearing this.Fortunately, that person has been dealt with, otherwise, he would have to deal with it himself.

"Stupid, where are you going if you don't come here?" Chen Zhuxia also discussed this issue with Wang Ke.Yuan Dingfang also understood this truth, he sighed deeply and remained silent.

After a while, he seemed to remember something.Quickly reached into his arms, and took out a delicate iron box from inside.Smiling and handing it to Chen Zhuxia.It turned out to be a box of chocolates.Chen Zhuxia held the box and looked at it over and over again.

"The food is distributed during the mission. I will exchange it with others. You can try it." After finishing speaking, he unscrewed the box for her, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth.Chen Zhuxia nimbly licked her tongue, and the rich sweetness filled her mouth.She narrowed her eyes in amusement.Yuan Dingfang picked up another piece and put it in her mouth.Chen Zhuxia was not in a hurry to eat it this time, she mischievously took one end of the chocolate and passed it to Yuan Dingfang's mouth.Yuan Dingfang was stunned for a moment, then blushed and accepted her gift.

The two ate the ends of the chocolate bit by bit.After dessert, eat lips and tongue...

Half an hour later, Chen Zhuxia closed her eyes and recalled the sweet taste just now, and it was rare that she leaned against her arms like a bird.

Yuan Dingfang's chin rubbed back and forth on the top of her head, his body was as hot as a fire.The two of them felt a little uncontrollable at this time.

"Zhu Xia, we—" Yuan Dingfang's voice was so low that it was almost a whisper.

"Dingfang, do you want to..."

"hey-hey……"

The two giggled silly together.

There is no coyness, no atmosphere exaggeration, they are naturally combined together.

The two rookies opened up wasteland and cut roads together, sowing seeds and cultivating.

Yuan Dingfang was like a bull that had just landed, his strength was commendable, but his skills were not up to the mark.

For the first time, he failed as expected.

Fortunately, both of them are strong-willed people, and they were not discouraged at all, so they agreed to start all over again.

The second time was less than satisfactory.

The third time I finally handed in a more satisfactory answer sheet.

The third success did not completely dispel Yuan Dingfang's depression.

"Actually, I can do hundreds of push-ups in one go." Yuan Dingfang said as the two hugged the quilt and chatted.

"Do push-ups?" Chen Zhuxia's brain was full of black lines, and he couldn't understand his brain circuit for the time being.

"Well, the veterans of the army said that the strength of a man's push-ups is directly proportional to that... You see, the two positions are the same." Yuan Dingfang felt his face burning.

Only then did Chen Zhuxia understand the meaning of his words.She thought for a while and then raised her own doubts: "This is not right. The parts of the force are different."

Yuan Dingfang: "..."

Chen Zhuxia felt that she needed to comfort him: "But, I think you are very powerful."

"Ahem, you have also learned to be tactful."

"Then can I try again?"

……

The fourth was more successful than the first three with intensity and staying power.But the tragedy is that the bed of bean curd dregs under them finally couldn't stand Gao Qiang.

Under the extreme pressure, it collapsed.

"This broken bed—" Yuan Dingfang cursed in a low voice.

Someone in the next room coughed lightly.Chen Zhuxia also coughed a few times in embarrassment.

"It's okay, I'll explain it tomorrow, I'm doing push-ups on the bed so..."

"Forget it, who will believe it?"

"Then let's go to bed, it's almost dawn." Yuan Dingfang lightly moved the bed board, and the two fell asleep on the board.

Outside, the waves beat against the rocks.The eastern sky has turned pale, and a round of red sun is slowly showing its face from the sea level.

A new day has come again.
