Opening their door, before they could press the light switch, the couple was rushed by a bright pair of eyes. If the eyes were not accompanied by panting and woofs, the two people would have thought a monster was about to attack.
"Slow down, slow down...why are you eyes so bright? Strange I did not notice before." Luo Xun said as he turned on the light.
Sure enough, Puppy was standing and drilling her into his arms.
A closer look, everything was the sa as before, but..."How did your eyes get do bright? As reflective as a mirror?"
Yan Fei looked down the hallway, "Maybe it was reflected from the hall’s light."
They ca back late today, so the hallways were flooded with light. Since the puppy was at the door, her eyes reflecting light would be normal. It was rare in dogs, but cat’s eyes would significantly reflect light.
The dog did not know what her two masters who thinking about, she reared up on her legs and tried to cover the two with slobbery kisses.
"All right, all right, let’s change the toilet cover first..." Luo Xun laboriously lifted the dog all the way to the living room.
Puppy did not continue to pester but wagged her tail. When the two left each month she would have to wait until the next afternoon for them to co back. Sotis it was even later, but today the pair ca ho early, no wonder she was so excited.
The couple took care of the toilet on the ground floor and tried the electricity and realized...
"Huh?! It can really spray water!"
"Ah! It can actually dry too..."
Watching Luo Xun play around, Yan Fei waited ten minutes before forcibly advising him to stop, wash up and go to sleep!
The next morning, Luo Xun rembered that there was sothing important to do today and set aside the toilet for the mont. He pulled Yan Fei and knocked on Zhang Yi’s door.
Zhang Yi, who had slept late, ca out with eye bags and low blood pressure. "What?"
"To the hospital." Luo Xun glanced at the crimson mark on Zhang Yi’s collar bone. "Last night you said you would." They could not be blad for knocking so early.
"I did not an so early!" Although he was angry, Zhang Yi’s professional ethics made him change clothes and run a series of tests.
Workers helped them at the back door, Luo Xun jumped the queue. Zhang Yi also did not seek out another doctor – he was a professional, why find soone else?
He took a few scans and looked. He referred to the images. "Here, all normal. The shock would tighten your chest, no big problem. At most have so blood circulation dicine, a few days rest without strenuous exercise..." He swept a glance at Luo Xun and raised his eyebrows.
Luo Xun was too lazy to care, he took the scans and was ready to go ho.
Zhang Yi had little knowledge on traditional Chinese dicine, as for western dicinal drugs...after the apocalypse, these things were often used and beca more and more expensive. Luo Xun had prepared pills at ho, which saved expenses.
Upon getting good news, Luo Xun’s expression finally relaxed. Yan Fei placed the scans in his bag, brought out his face mask and prepared to return ho.
"Going back?"
"Yes, go back and get so more sleep!"
Zhang Yi had grudge lines staring at these two who had woken him up early and now dared to talk about going ho. Maybe he should find sothing so that the two could not rest at ho?
But then again, he was so sleepy...and also wanted a good night’s rest or toss responsibility of supplies at ho to those two.
Zhang Yi yawned as he opened his office door (they ca for Zhang Yi’s shift and other people quickly left). A plump woman saw them, froze and then quickly ran towards them, "Doctor Zhang!"
Zhang Yi looked at her round belly, then her dyed hair that was mostly faded. He glanced at the two beside him, "Mrs. Liu, are you looking for ?"
The two n stopped before leaving the room. After seeing the woman’s face, Yan Fei scowled and pulled out a pair of sunglasses – his hairstyle had been trimd by Luo Xun multiple tis and was now very different from before.
Had it not been for his face, which was highly recognizable, he assud that none of his pre-apocalypse acquaintances would have recognized him.
Luo Xun was slower on the uptake. After Yan Fei put on the sunglasses, he carefully looked out – she seed familiar...Wait, wasn’t that Yan Fei’s mother?!
He was shocked, from the gap it was hard to recognize. Liu Xiangyu’s belly, she’s been pregnant for half a year?! How else would her belly be so big.
Because of the pregnancy, Liu Xiangyu’s body had beco plump, she lost her originally maintained figure. She had a double chin and her belly seed like it was filled with water balloons, one hand was against her back.
Perhaps for the sake of the child in her belly, she did not dress up.
But when they heard what she was saying to Zhang Yi...Luo Xun took back anything he said about maternal feelings.
"Doctor Zhang, I’ve been looking for months, could you please help get this child out of ! What is with the hospital right now? Why are they so irresponsible? What does wanting to get rid of this child have to do with them?! Why can’t I have an abortion? Don’t they know that it’s dangerous to have a baby at my age? What does the base population have to with ? I want to live has nothing to do with them! Who’s going to support the baby afterwards..."
Liu Xiangyu had choked back all her complaints, which all ca rushing out at the sight of a familiar doctor. The passing patients and doctors could not help but slow down their steps.
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow in amusent, his smile widened, "Mrs. Liu, I am not a gynecologist." Had he not repeated this multiple tis? This woman had a brain problem, was there sothing wrong with her ears?
Liu Xiangyu growled after being rebuffed, "I know you aren’t a gynecologist! I don’t have any other thods. Never mind, we can negotiate in private, as long as you can guarantee the safety of my life...Dr. Zhang I know you specialty, I asked around, surgery is surgery. You can even do brain surgery, how could my issue be harder? It’s just taking a child from the belly, like removing a tumor!"
Hearing that even the strong nerved Zhang Yi could not maintain his expression. He spread out his hands with a contrite expression, "Very different that taking out a tumor." He interrupted whatever the woman was about to say, "Superiors do not all any dical staff in the hospital to do abortions, regardless of what favor you pull. Plus, I am on vacation, only ca here to grab so forgotten things. I still have to go ho." He lazily dodged Liu Xiangyu’s arm.
Liu Xiangyu rushed forward, wanting to pull his clothes but was blocked by a cyan wind. Could not catch him!
Yan Fei grabbed Luo Xun’s hand and the two walked past her. Liu Xiangyu was too angry to pay any notice, only stared resentfully as Zhang Yi disappeared – why did no one help her? The baby would only grow bigger! What’s it like giving birth? Of course she knew! She had already experienced it once and almost died. She rembered all the vomiting, body issues and other issues. She had wanted to get rid of it, if not for the family interests, she would have induced labor in the third month!
Not to ntion, it was the apocalypse, what crazy person would want to have a baby? What would happen in case of massive bleeding, infection or so on...
Zhang Yi grimaced as he watched the couple go through the door.
Luo Xun helplessly opened the door and let the two inside. Once inside, Zhang Yi humd in complaint, "Today is such a bother, dragged awake by you, then had to et your mother..."
Yan Fei took off his sunglasses, looking extrely calm. "She has nothing to do with . The child in her belly has nothing to do with , I can not control her."
Zhang Yi gave him a look, "She recently accosted a few obstetricians and gynecologists, she was led away by the military for obstructing work. Did not expect she would co so soon." He sneered, "It’s not easy to get rid of a child. She does not want to deal with a burden. For fear of damaging her body, she tried to find a doctor for abortion or induced labor."
Yan Fei shrugged, "Nothing to do with ."
Zhang Yi glanced at Yan Fei and rolled his eyes. Who let that mother let her son walk past without any sense of recognition? The situation seed to have occured more than once.
Li Tie had already returned back ho, but they were too tired to say anything and returned to their comfortable beds.
By the ti they got up, it was afternoon. The first thing Luo Xun did was change the upstairs toilet cover and personally tried it. He found that this thing was more convenient, comfortable and most importantly, did not waste paper!
Such a good thing should have been found long ago! Why did they wait until now? But not hunting crystal cores, using their vacation to find the covers was very successful.
With this in mind, Luo Xun happily climbed downstairs to replace the other covers, only to learn that Li Tie and the others had already done so in the morning.
Wu Xin smiled and explained, "Luo Xun, you know our ho has four people but only one bathroom, every morning we fight over the toilet. Hurry to another room for the washroom...so this morning we changed the rest of them."
"It’s all right, it was for everyone anyway." Who cared about the number of toilets, even if they exchanged all of them, they still had more than half left. Replace any broken ones.
The batch of toilet covers was well received by everyone. After discussion, everyone decided – everyone would keep spares, not one would be sold! They were not short on money, there was no need to sell these things for groceries.
During the second vacation day, Luo Xun went downstairs with Yan Fei to dispose of the tal fence. They brought back a solid tal truck, no one noticed when they entered base! They only checked their spoils for traces of the zombie virus.
Luo Xun asked Yan Fei to turn the tal into a tal garage, which saved space and let them store a total of four cars.
After that, it was ti for autumn harvest, used the rest of the ti for final harvesting, sowing the next crops, drying and processing.
On the third day, Li Tie and company needed to go work at the barracks. Luo Xun and Yan Fei still had a day of holiday to laze at ho, play with the puppy, teach Yu Xinran how to read, process the crops with Xu i and Zhang Yi. At night, Li Tie and the other brought back the latest news, "We heard that several teams went missing while on missions and soone sent s distress signal!"
Everyone imdiately reacted, Luo Xun asked, "Was it the road we passed before?"
A few people shook their heads, "It’s not clear, but teams going north of the city have to pass through, but the details are unclear. So teams received the rescue signal drove past. Heard that the military also sent out teams, have wait for the results of the investigation."
Wang Duo had another ssage, "I heard today that several teams noticed the building collapse but did not take a detour on the way back to base. Heard that the day we ca back a number of places were rumbling."
Luo Xun thought a bit, he had not heard of this matter even in his last life. But it was difficult for appropriate teams to get out. It would take a day for a team to prepare, fortunately they had crossbows. Sotis he had to rummage through the trash for weapons to sell.
Unfortunately at that ti, they did not have any suitable materials. The weapons were not ideal and the production speed was so slow.
These things would not co to fruition until the teams were rescued. Luo Xun and team could only temporarily set the matter aside and busy themselves elsewhere.
This ti Luo Xun brought back a lot of tal. Other than the garage, they brought so tal upstairs.
"Push the sofa to the corner and make a row of implants." 1604 was not used early spring when they started to grow the grain. So of the common crops were moved next door. In addition to the balcony with onion, ginger, garlic, parsley, pepper and other seasonings – Puppy’s snacks do not count.
The normal plants were kept at his house, without exception were all kinds of fruit!
For example, the few lemon seeds had grown into two large pots. His fruit trees and grape racks were thriving, though they had not blood this year. The strawberries had small white flowers sprouting from the row of boxes.
Perennial fruit trees were impossible to harvest in the short term – it would not blossom until next spring at the earliest. If any fruit trees produced fruit, Luo Xun would think it a miracle. Of course, they would see results eventually.
On top of that, there were the strange mutant plants left in Luo Xun’s ho. He wondered what kind of fruit these plants would produce. Would they be edible? Poisonous? Benign or normal mutation?
Now Luo Xun considered that 1603 was area for team cultivation, the harvests were distributed to the team. Anyways they could free up space at ho.
Luo Xun wanted to plant a benign variant of rice, he had found so in his past life, but the chance of benign mutations was really low. Now all the rice was harvested and processed. He had experinted before, compared mutant with regular rice. It was said that the benign variants were not the sa – but still okay. The aroma was nice, and the porridge was better than stead rice.
Luo Xun thought it tasted better than pre-apocalypse fragrant rice, Yan Fei agreed.
All he to do now was produce more of this benign rice, leaving the seeds and allowing them to grow as much as possible. This kind of thing was destined to be a luxury, Luo Xun was not prepared to replace all the rice – in the future benign mutant crops produced less than normal groups. Instead the mutant variants of crops had greatly increased yields.
The benign variant seeds were placed in the nursery room to grow in advance. They could being a new round of cultivation afterwards. If they were not willing to sell the benign mutant crops, could add so to porridge to have improved food.
Yan Fei casually waved to finish the planting box. Luo Xun prepared the soil, poured clean water and added good fertilizer. One by one the seedlings went in.
Once this layer was done, Luo Xun put so mushroom wood in the bottom drawer in order to absorb the possible toxic substances. Finally they pair chose so more commonly eaten crops – which would be more convenient in their hos.
Because of the other special crops, the room had a lot of mushroom wood. The group found that normal mushrooms started regularly growing normal mushrooms. Xu i and Song Lingling would pick any mature mushrooms and place them on the windowsill to dry.
After the number of mushrooms has increased, they would be willing to use these things in their food to eat.
