Chapter Release 2 of 3
By the time they came out from the registrar’s office, the girl who had appeared inexplicably and run away inexplicably, had disappeared.
The team was attracted to the scent of food in the air. These days, they had been out on duty. All the way, they had been eating only dry food. They couldn't eat hot meals with heated dishes. Now, they were hungry when they smelt the food.
Today, the canteen provided vegetable noodle soup and corn cakes with radish soup, each of which only required one work point. Although the taste of corn pancake was ordinary, it was filling in quantity. Each one weighed 100 to 150 grams. It also matched with the bowl of radish boiled with bone soup.
When they stood in line, they met some soldiers who had also come to eat. From top to bottom, in the whole base, no matter whether it was the commander or the soldiers, they were just like ordinary survivors. They ate whatever the canteen made. Zheng Jiahe talked to them and they immediately came to know each other. Among them, there happened to be a sergeant who had helped commander Jiang in getting supplies. Naturally, he recognized them. So, he was happy to have the opportunity to become close to them and had a good talk with them.
According to the sergeant, the team that went out of the city to collect materials met with a mutant pig that ran rampant yesterday. After five or six people were injured, they caught the pig and brought it back for slaughter. The meat was divided into five or six hundred jin. The bones were sent to the canteen to cook soup, and the survivors who hadn’t eaten meat for a long time savour the taste. Radish and green vegetables were produced by the two plant department experts. They were small in number, and could barely supply the canteen.
It was also Zhan Yun’s team's good luck to catch up with such good things when they came back. They swiped the ID card to deduct the work points, and received food smoothly. Anyway, they had many work points, so they also got a share of noodles soup and cakes. But no one thought they bought too much, mainly because today’s food was really delicious. Many people bought more than one serving with their teeth clenched.
Corn cake tasted a little dry, but it was much better with radish soup. There were only two small pieces of radish, as thick as a finger, in the radish soup. The boiled radish was crispy and mushy, with a meaty taste. It was so delicious that those who received the food cherished the soup so much that they drank it clean, without even wasting a drop.
The vegetables in the noodle soup were chopped well, and there was some minced meat. With noodles, the average person had enough to eat. The soup dishes, noodle soup, and bone soup were all delicious. The bowls sent to the cleaning place were completely licked clean. Although people cherished food very much now, and there were very few leftovers, it was the first time to lick a bowl like this to the extent that it could be said to be photogenic.
Zhan Yun's team were all ability users, and they all had a good appetite. Anyway, they had a lot of work points, so they went to get additional servings several times.
From the chatter of the people around them, they knew that the base was now recruiting ability users, particularly, the water type and wood type abilities. Every day, they needed to use water, and plant vegetables, so their treatment was quite good. It was said that the water type ability could produce a hundred liters of pure water every day. The wood type could plant several vegetables every day, and was given five work points. The city guard was also recruiting fighters. They heard that the fighters would be paid more.
Su Ruizhe had once planted vegetables in Lincheng base in his previous life. However, there had been no canteen in the base, so he was often given one or two packages of biscuits when he finished his work. He also needed to save part of his rations to distribute them to the eldest uncle and his family. They basically remained hungry every day. Chen Huizhen also encouraged him to secretly store vegetables, but the seeds given by the base every day were fixed, and the vegetables delivered must be sufficient, so he couldn't hide them at all.
Listening to the treatment of those wood types, Su Ruizhe felt a little unspeakable envy.
“What’s the matter?” Zhan Yun noticed Su Ruizhe was distracted and reached for his hand.
“Nothing.” Seeing Zhan Yun’s concerned eyes, Su Ruizhe’s face bloomed with a brilliant smile. His life now was totally different from his previous life.
After eating and drinking to their fill, they went back to the small high-rise building where they lived. Since it had been six or seven days, dust had accumulated in the house. So, they had to clean the room together. Zheng Jiahe mumbled about getting a vacuum cleaner or a sweeping robot or something next time he had a chance.
The next day, the soldiers began to lay solar power generation equipment in the base. The sun during the daytime was very hot. So, the generation of solar energy was very efficient, which basically guaranteed constant electricity within the base. In places like mission hall and canteen, where a large number of survivors often gathered, the air conditioners began to operate. In the dormitory building, the electric fan was switched on, which greatly alleviated the impact of high temperatures on the people.
Company commander Zhang did as he promised. He brought people to Zhan Yun’s house and installed a set of special solar power generation device for them, so that they could use electricity at will.
Everyone was very happy. In this way, they could not only use the air conditioners in the room, but also use the electric water heaters to take a hot water bath.
But Company Commander Zhang came here in person, not only to give them the promised reward, but also to bring them a message.
It had been confirmed by the research institute that 'plants contained certain elements that could suppress the zombie virus'. In recent days, the research center of the base had been conducting research based on the samples of the plant bullets provided by Su Ruizhe, and now, made a breakthrough in this progress.
They developed a new kind of plant bullet. Researchers extracted the essence from plants and put them into specially made bullets. The principle was probably the same as that of some western movies for werewolves and vampires where bullets contained silver nitrate.
After experimentation, once the plant bullet hit the zombie, the plant essence entered the zombie's body. It would cause great damage to the zombies. The damage was equal to the pea bullet provided by Su Ruizhe, and the base was trying to produce the new bullets in large quantities.
The base decided to open an exchange counter for the new bullets for the survivors. In addition, they disclosed that fruit and vegetable juice could help the victims of zombie scratches to resist the erosion of the virus in order to improve the survival rate of the ability users, and encourage survivors to bravely go out of the base.
There were seven to eight billion people in the world, of which China accounted for nearly two-fifths of the population, and more than half of them had turned into zombies, and the number of zombies kept on increasing. Zombies were tireless, did not fear death, and were still evolving. If they did not kill as many zombies as much as possible now, they would only die.
The base was very grateful to Su Ruizhe and his team for their contributions to the base, and decided to reward them with a sum of materials or work points as a thank-you. If they had other needs, they could freely put forward their own requirements, and the base would try to meet them.
A series of decisions in the base were made which made Su Ruizhe and Zhan Yun feel better about the southern base. The style of the southern base was very decent. It was really working for the people’s welfare, making everyone have the chance to live as much as possible, and striving for the future of mankind.
The author has something to say:

After the end of the world:
Xu Jiani: does Su Ruizhe have a good life? Does he still seem to have a crush on me? I should be his white moonlight? Will it look like I’m a bargain if I ask for him? But if I successfully attracts him, I should also be able to have better food and clothes. Should I want to test it first?
Su Xiaozhe: who are you?
Xu Jiani:?! What about the good secret love?
Zhan Xiaoyun: who is in love with whom?
Xu Jiani: Wow! Superb! Relying on him, I not only have no worries about food and clothing, but also climb to the top of my life!

Her seat was only one aisle away, and her husband was impressed by her beauty. After the end of the world, after a lot of hardships, I met the Lord again. Wow, it’s the female lead role.
