Survival [End Times]

The helicopter roared closer, hovered in the sky, and finally landed on the abandoned rice field outside.

Someone was holding a red-glowing tester and moving it around the door, then went back.

Yu Heng had a feeling that there would not be many days left like this.

He told Zhang Henghui about this, "This place is likely to be reopened."

"Then what should we do?"

"Let's put away the things first."

There was nothing much, they didn't need to eat, drink, defecate or urinate, at most they could use the water stored in rainy and snowy days to take a bath and change clothes, and it would be fine once the clothes were put away.

The research materials picked up from the ground were sorted out by Zhang Henghui and placed on the table.

Then they erased the traces of their life in the institute.

After driving out of the safe zone, they did not go far away immediately, but settled not far away. In their hearts, they still hoped to continue living there, as they had already developed feelings for it.

But wishes are still extravagant after all. Such a large and complete safe zone can be operated again in minutes as long as the core structure is built up and people are relocated.

The fact that it has been abandoned for four years is the result of the stalemate between the capital base and the local base, as well as the game between various forces.

The Southwest Base finally won the prize. Therefore, after sending a special plane to survey, the Southwest Base concluded that there was no zombie fluctuation in the safe zone, so the procedure of sending a clearing force could be reduced. Directly airdrop drugs for sterilization and disinfection, and then the civilians could be relocated directly.

When Yu Heng and his team thought they could move back, three planes came from a distance. After resting, they immediately started working, spraying chemicals at high altitude. The irritating smell of disinfection spread with the wind, and Yu Heng couldn't help sneezing.

"What a pity, we can't go back."

"You've lived there for so long, aren't you bored?"

Zhang Henghui shook his head: "Will you get bored?"

After being caught off guard, Yu Heng laughed: "A little bit, just a little bit." He asked Zhang Henghui again: "Is there anywhere you want to go?"

"I want to go back to Qinghe Province... Never mind, go to the capital, never mind, it's all fine."

Where humans gather, can their current physical condition pass the test? Zhang Henghui gave up the idea when he thought that he might be caught on the spot and studied.

The capital base, the legendary paradise for survivors, can only be an ideal scene after all.

"Are you hungry? Eat it." Realizing that he asked a low-level question, Yu Heng silently stuffed her a handful of crystal cores.

Zhang Henghui took it with a smile and tacitly skipped the topic.

The two of them ate the crystal cores in the wind, clapped their hands after eating, clapped their hands, didn't say anything, got into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove in a random direction.

They went deep into the current restricted area of ​​the city. When the car ran out of gas, they threw it away, and when they were tired, they rested.

These urban centers, which are the most dangerous in the eyes of humans, are the safest in their eyes, safer than in human society.

However, they are undoubtedly lonely.

Every time they come across a bookstore or library, the time they stay will be extended. No matter what kind of book it is, they read all kinds of books, and slowly Yu Heng's heart calmed down.

After completing several tasks, it was this time that allowed him to have such ample time and a peaceful mind to read every book page by page, and even start doing exercises.

When the two finished reading all the books, they started to move to other places again. Before leaving, Yu Heng emptied the entire bookstore.

He asked rt9009: "These books are gone, so what should we do with these missing cultural knowledge when society is rebuilt in the future?" When people are free, they start to think about problems that they have not paid attention to before.

rt9009: "I'm glad that Mr. Host has such an awareness. What do you think?"

"Me?"

"Yes, there is a saying in ancient Earth: Giving roses to others will leave a lingering fragrance on your hands. This rose is there. If no one picks it, it will wither one day. So for the sake of future viewers, will you pick it or not? What will happen after you pick it?"

Yu Heng thought about it and didn't answer.

Later, he and Zhang Henghui traveled to the west, to a small safe zone. This place is too remote. The population was sparse before the end of the world, and even zombies were few after the end of the world.

After experiencing the earliest chaos, it soon calmed down. The safe zone is small and embedded in the mountain, isolated from the world, with a sense of comfort.

It's better to say that it's a small gathering place than a safe zone. There are no advanced detectors, only high wooden fences and watchtowers. Everything is backward and primitive.

He and Zhang Henghui easily passed a simple inspection and were let in.

The small settlement was xenophobic and unfriendly to them. They stayed far away from them and watched the two strange strangers settle here.

It was rare to live with living people. Yu Heng was very happy. With a smile on his face, he learned the architecture of this settlement, went up the mountain to cut wood, and built a house clumsily by himself. He had never built a house, but he unconsciously applied the architecture books he had read. The structure, proportion... all followed scientific data.

The wooden house that was finally built was very strong. Although it didn't look good, it didn't collapse.

The two happily moved in. Zhang Henghui also transplanted a bunch of morning glory and let the vines climb up along the windowsill.

At first, they learned to farm like the locals. Later, Yu Heng couldn't help correcting the typos written by several children on the sand table, and then gave away several children's books... Finally, he set up a smooth wooden board in front of his house and taught several children to read with carbon sticks.

More and more children came, and the teaching in free time became regular and fixed-point teaching. Later, the old village chief of the gathering place said that if Yu Heng and Zhang Henghui taught the children to read and recognize characters, all villages would give them a contribution, so that they could concentrate on teaching, and even someone would help to plant the land.

This was the first time for Zhang Henghui and Yu Heng, and they felt very fresh and eager to try!

Finally, the two of them wrote a schedule. From Monday to Sunday, Zhang Henghui taught mathematics, English, geography, chemistry, and history, and Yu Heng taught Chinese, biology, physics, and physical education.

He selected books from the books he had collected before, and bought each book at 1 yuan. There were only 37 children, so there was no need for each child to take a book. Two or three people could read one book together.

Yu Heng had collected a storage ring of paper and pens from a stationery store he had encountered in the city before, and now they were all put to use.

This was a completely new experience, and Yu Heng had never thought that he would have a day to teach and educate people.

From unfamiliarity to practice makes perfect, Yu Heng slowly found the fun in it. He and Zhang Henghui truly integrated into this small gathering place because of this.

This fulfilling life lasted for six years.

"Ugh--"

Zhang Henghui wiped Yu Heng's mouth with a towel and brought him water. "How is it?"

"Not bad."

Yu Heng rinsed his mouth and smeared the towel on his face.

Over the years, no matter how much he refused, he couldn't refuse an invitation for a meal. Every time he forced himself to eat and vomited, it was also a torture.

"Xiaoman's mother asked me to tell you that you must go next time."

Zhang Henghui smiled bitterly.

She has aged very quickly in the past few years, and now half of her hair is white. If she doesn't say it, she can't believe that she is only 44 years old.

She looked at this place with nostalgia, and she was reluctant to leave.

Yu Heng held a level 5 crystal core in her mouth and said with an empty look in her eyes: "Sister, we can't delay any longer."

Vomiting after eating is something you can tolerate and get used to. But things are not that simple. Later, they found that this would damage their lifespans. Afterwards, they would have to take a large amount of crystal cores, which might not be able to make up for it.

Zhang Henghui is obviously older. Yu Heng's body is only 26 years old, but she looks like she is in her 30s or nearly 40s.

Moreover, the consumption of crystal cores is too great, and there are not many in stock now. In this place, the number of zombies can be counted on one's fingers all year round.

They want to be like normal people and integrate into this group, so they can't refuse those favors and social activities.

Which normal human being can't eat human food but eats crystal cores?

These six years are enough. If this continues, Zhang Henghui will be weak and die first.

"We will leave tonight." We can't delay any longer.

It was a long time before Zhang Henghui whispered "OK."

Yu Heng left all the useful things in the storage ring that had not expired. However, there was almost no food. During the years in the Lutong Safe Zone and the more than a year of wandering, the things that should have been spoiled had already spoiled.

The things left were mostly books, paper, pens, soap, perfume... They were all given as precious gifts to children who studied well before, and now they were all left.

Leaving these things behind, along with the grain harvested by the villagers today and the children's homework today, the two left here at night.

I hope that in the eyes of the children, I will always be like the diligent gardener in the immature paintings.

Not a monster.

The word loneliness, the deeper the feeling after leaving.

They returned to the depths of the sparsely populated city, and obtained crystal cores by hunting a large number of zombies. Day after day, they soon accumulated a huge number again.

This time, none of them said they wanted to go outside, and it was good to stay in the depths of the city.

The topic discussed with rt9009 before was mentioned again by Yu Heng.

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Host, please speak."

"If possible, can you exchange all the books I exchanged before for another one?"

This is the best idea Yu Heng thought of.

rt9009 said: "Host, do you remember that this mission world you are in is just the data of the previous plane and space fragments? If you put the book data that has been extracted back, you need to pay a certain handling fee."

Yu Heng said: "I remember, but I have lived here for so many years, this place is real."

He thought about it: "Then can you keep one copy of the duplicate books when scanning in the future? If it is a unique copy, just bypass it." After all, there are generally no unique copies of books stored in bookstores and libraries.

"Host, our current transmission technology cannot do this, and we cannot distinguish the difference in book data."

"Then let's use the previous method. How much handling fee is required?"

"It only costs 1 Xinhuo point to buy a book, and 500 Xinhuo points are required to transfer every 10,000 books."

"Okay."

As a result, when Yu Heng stored a batch of books in the top floor library of a large library, he found that his Xinhuo points had not decreased.

rt9009: "Host, are you surprised? Are you surprised? Congratulations to the host for passing the hidden task, obtaining the achievement [Preaching Worry], and rewarding the [Wisdom] attribute, which will help the host to study more smoothly in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Heng felt a cool breeze blowing across his forehead, and he felt very comfortable.

After that, when he occasionally read books, he found that his comprehension ability seemed to have improved? When he looked up the difficult questions he had memorized before, he could figure out one or two out of ten again.

He knew that [Wisdom] was a good thing.

The things rewarded by the system, as long as they have "attributes", are engraved in the soul, which means that they will work forever in the future.

The things he thought about in his spare time accidentally brought him such a great benefit. It can be regarded as luck by chance.
