The vibrant Sunshine District welcod four survivors.
"Is this the Sunshine District?"
The clean and tidy streets before them felt sowhat surreal.
As the apocalypse had unfolded, they had beco accustod to seeing environnts that were dirty, disorganized, and in poor condition. Compared with what was before them now, the difference was like night and day.
Wen Jie exclaid, "It’s so clean here."
"Of course, I cleaned this street myself. A clean environnt can often make people feel more comfortable. Wait a mont, I’ll open the gate for you," Lin Fan said as he climbed over the iron gate to open it from the inside, allowing them to drive the armored vehicle in.
There were now three vehicles in the district.
One was Qi Sheng’s, one belonged to Old Man Wang, and the last was Han Shuang and her group’s.
As they entered the district, they were astonished by the condition of the place; what had once appeared to them as just another old district was now truly different.
"I sll the scent of bread," Xu Zeyang remarked.
Lin Fan replied, "Yes, our district has a bakery. The shop owner, Su Xiaoxiao, is very skilled in this area. The cakes and bread she makes are delicious. You can buy them if you want in the future."
Xu Zeyang stuttered, "Buy... Buy with money?"
"Yes," Lin Fan said, understanding that they had been living in the post-apocalyptic world for too long and it had impacted their way of thinking. Yet even so, he could still see hope in their eyes for the future. Therefore, he wasn’t in a rush and believed that with gentle guidance, they would understand.
Just as Xu Zeyang was about to say sothing, Han Shuang interrupted, "Compared to the outside, this place is really like the Immortal Realm, a shelter that countless survivors yearn for. Anyone would agree to spend money to stay in such a place."
Thinking about their experiences outside, it was truly incomparable.
They couldn’t sleep peacefully at night.
They ate only basic food.
And they had to be wary of other survivors spying on them.
Lin Fan said, "It’s not as good as you say, it’s just an ordinary district."
They fell silent.
An ordinary district?
They looked at Lin Fan and felt that this person, who seed beyond ordinary, had a different understanding of the word "ordinary" compared to them.
Later, they saw other survivors in the district – old people, children, n, and won – and from their faces, they could tell that they were in good spirits with none of the fatigue or tension typical of post-apocalyptic life.
It could be said that these survivors were living well in the Sunshine District, better than they had imagined.
For Lin Fan, life was just that ordinary. As the security guard of the district, it was his unwavering responsibility to maintain the district’s safety and protect every resident.
"Lin Fan, these are the new tenants, right?" Old Man Wang asked with a smile.
He looked over the four survivors Lin Fan had brought back.
Each was unique, and surprisingly, there was a young girl among them who seed very capable. To survive in the post-apocalypse and still remain calm showed that she probably had a strong psychological resilience.
His judgent of people was quite accurate.
Lin Fan had brought an efficient young girl to the Sunshine District.
Yan Nini and Su Xiaoxiao were also very good.
But compared to this young girl, they lacked a certain decisiveness and efficiency.
Lin Fan said, "Yes, Old Man Wang, let introduce them. This is Han Shuang, Xu Zeyang, Wen Jie, Mao..."
When he ntioned Mao, he looked at the man because they usually just called him Old Mao. As for Mao’s full na, he really didn’t know it.
Old Mao said, "My na is Mao Xinqin, just call Old Mao, Old Man. You can call Little Mao."
His surna pronounced in Mandarin definitely had no issues, but if soone who wasn’t proficient in Mandarin tried to pronounce it, it would sound very strange. So, he always told people to just call him Old Mao.
As Lin Fan introduced the current survivors in the district, they learned that Old Man Wang and another elder had made significant contributions to the country. They respected them deeply, and their view of Lin Fan also changed.
Han Shuang and the others believed Lin Fan was a good person in the post-apocalyptic world, with no ulterior motives in bringing them to the Sunshine District.
In the post-apocalyptic world, the elderly were the least welco.
The elderly had no ability to survive in the post-apocalyptic world and were a burden to keep around. The fact that he had not only taken in the elderly but had taken in five at once, one of whom was wheelchair-bound, was astonishing to them.
What followed was simple; Lin Fan pitched the idea of renting houses to Han Shuang and the others. When it ca to paying rent, Han Shuang was indifferent and didn’t find it odd at all. There were two units available: three n would live together, and Han Shuang would live alone.
Old Mao had spent all his money over the years on modifying steel beasts. Xu Zeyang and Wen Jie were just ordinary young n, similar to Lin Fan who didn’t have much money. On the other hand, Han Shuang was part of the managent at her company, earned a decent salary, and had saved quite a bit of money.
After preparing the houses,
Lin Fan led them around the district, introducing the situation.
"Here is the vegetable garden, where we grow vegetables, including chili peppers, leeks, bok choy, and more. When they’re ripe, you can eat fresh vegetables,"
as they looked at the scene before them.
Han Shuang and the others were a bit stunned. No one had expected the survivors here to be growing vegetables in the district. Although the area wasn’t large, being able to eat vegetables they had grown themselves was still sothing many survivors in the post-apocalyptic world could only dream of.
