Chapter 129: Chapter 081 Really Terrifying_5 He had no choice but to defend himself. He turned the somewhat lively Sunshine District peaceful with his actions. Fortunately, the tenants that followed were friendly, which he liked. He felt that living together and pursuing hope together would lead to success. The vegetable garden. He squatted beside it, examining it closely. Sprouting vegetables are good vegetables. Next to it was a piece of wasteland that Li Mei and Grandma Xu had cleared; the soil had been turned over. He thought about getting some seeds to plant there. Some things could still be bought. But some could not be purchased. He could only rely on his own efforts to grow them. "It seems I should find some time to go to Xinfeng Seed Company to buy some seeds." He got up and walked outside. He thought about the daytime activities. It seemed he hadn’t finished yesterday’s tasks, and now he needed to start being busy with today’s. Quzhou duck neck. "This store’s duck heads are really delicious," Lin Fan remarked as he looked at the store, giving it a high rating, especially the spicy duck heads. He had tried them once and found the taste unforgettable. But he only ate them occasionally. He mostly cooked at home. Buying some occasionally cost twenty to thirty, which amounted to seven or eight hundred a month. Thinking about his salary, that was truly frightening. "So smelly." Lin Fan covered his neck, noticing that the shop was messy and the goods in the showcase had rotted, emitting a barely tolerable odor. "Boss, let me clean up the environment for you." He did not mention a price. He first asked if the other party needed it to avoid the possibility that they might not. It was very quiet. No response. The meaning was clear; that was the boss agreeing. There were gloves in the store, making it convenient to clean up and ensure his hands were not contaminated. He had intended to call Wang Kai to earn the money together, but he hadn’t seen him downstairs, which meant he was sleeping in. He didn’t disturb him because sleep is important, and it’s pointless if it’s interrupted. Inside the store, a diligent figure cleaned up the trash without much trouble. The only hassle was the garbage on the shelves, which needed careful cleaning. Bags of trash. After a long while, he finally finished cleaning. The price negotiated with the boss was six hundred. It was hard-earned money, and he felt he deserved it. With no one around, he could only take the money himself. The drawer had cash, not a small amount, but he never thought to take more than necessary; it was a matter of principle. Comfortably putting the six hundred in his pocket, he planned to keep three hundred on him and the other three hundred was to repay Wang Kai’s grandfather. He always remembered borrowing money from Wang Kai’s grandfather. His thought was to repay it as soon as possible. After finishing his hectic day, upon returning to the district, Wang Kai had just woken up not long ago and suggested, "Bro Fan, let’s go make some money cleaning shops." Lin Fan could only tell him, "I got up quite early, and finished the work early too." Upon hearing this, Wang Kai blinked, unaware that he had missed out on earning two hundred fifty, but what he didn’t know was that Lin Fan had earned an extra three hundred. The water plant was a place he had to visit daily. Lin Fan, being precise with time, took Wang Kai to the water plant early to finish the work so he could continue with his other tasks. Afternoon. Thinking about earning money, Lin Fan rode his electric bike around the streets, seeking new clients. His part-time job at the real estate agency was important, featuring flexible hours and high commission. It was rather tiring though. He remembered the news he had watched. Real estate agents selling high-priced houses would receive high commissions. He was very envious. But he believed that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely succeed. Passing by a cake shop, he simply looked, then rode away on his electric bike, hoping the lady owner could step out from her tense environment and bravely face the future. Once she was mentally stable. He still wanted to have a proper conversation with her, ask if she needed to rent a place. Given her impressive baking skills, if she could open a bakery in the district, that would be great. And he could earn an extra bit of money. That would include sanitation fees; he could work part-time in environmental sanitation, cleaning up the trash left from baking cakes. He was quite proud of his own ingenuity for coming up with such a good solution. Looking around, he searched for survivors, but the desolate environment allowed him to hear nothing but the low growls of zombies. He had no idea how many people were left in Huang City. Perhaps very few. Everyone might have already moved away. Gradually, he arrived in an area he had not visited before. He found the environment here even messier than his own area, with abandoned cars everywhere and many shattered bodies; the ground was marked with bloody tire tracks, and there were also bodies that had rotted away inside the vehicles. He could hardly imagine what had happened. Suddenly. He saw in a shop on the second floor, where the interior was visible, a body hanging from a noose, surrounded by flies, the flesh decomposing; it was clear that it had been dead for a long time. He could imagine how desperate the person must have been while alive to have ultimately resorted to hanging to end their own life. "Ah." Lin Fan sighed, stopped the car, leaped through an open window on the second floor without another thought or meaning; he simply couldn’t bear seeing someone hang after death like this. He approached and realized that the person was an elderly man. The noose had already cut into the flesh. Untying it was somewhat difficult. He could only sever it with his sword, laying the body down flat, which was a form of respect for the deceased. "Goodbye." He whispered softly, then turned and left. To him, it was merely a small effort, but for the deceased, it was a last dignity in death. Hengji Apartments. A flashy electric bike drove on the road, the rider glancing all around like a bike thief looking for a worthwhile target to steal. If a policeman saw such a person, he would definitely be extra vigilant. He would certainly stop Lin Fan to check his ID card to see if the guy had a criminal record. "Are there no survivors left?" He had been looking at electric bikes until now, yet he hadn’t seen a single survivor, which was really a bit disappointing for him. How much he wished to see a survivor and then ask nicely if they needed to rent a house, saying, "I am a multi-time outstanding employee at Xinfeng Real Estate, diligent and adherent to professional ethics, a trustworthy partner for you." Then he would pull out a brochure and introduce it properly. Of course, his claim of being an outstanding employee was a lie, but you had to have some gimmicks in this line of work; obviously, it wouldn’t work otherwise. You must make the client see at a glance that you are professional. Just at that moment. Lin Fan saw a figure on the building he was about to pass. "There’s someone." Lin Fan stopped the bike, looked up squinting slightly. "Why is it a child?" He murmured. The child stood on the balcony, unkempt, waving at him, looking to be in a dire situation. He watched silently. In his mind, he wondered why a child was waving at him from the balcony? The child seemed to be only about eleven or twelve years old. Suddenly, he thought of Li Mei and her daughter, Chen He and his daughter, all capable of sacrificing themselves to let their children live better lives. Therefore. In his heart, he was sure the child’s parents had done their best to leave whatever supplies they had so the child could survive in this post-apocalyptic world. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but hold deep respect; such parents were indeed admirable. He observed the surroundings. They were really bad. Everything was in ruins, and there were various decaying dead bodies. There was an indescribable desolation and sadness. Living here must be very painful. If I introduce them to Sunshine District, there should be hope. Of course, he wanted to first see what kind of people they were. Just as he was about to go up. He saw the child on the upper floor pull out a large placard. It had a message on it. "Help me, I have a group of teenage girls here." Seeing this message. Lin Fan was slightly stunned. Not their parents? It was a group of children. So that was the reason for their haggard appearance. PS: I’m really sorry, I am currently writing in a bar. I came out to dinner with my wife; it’s just three guys and eight girls. They keep urging me, and I can’t write anymore on my phone. I’ll write more tomorrow. Sorry everyone, I want to go back to writing.
