Chapter 120 I am doing infrastructure construction in the end times 7
Lu Yanche's apartment is on the 25th floor. It's not as high as the other large flats. The ground below the 13th floor is flooded and now it's frozen.
Lu Yanche and Zhang Xintong walked down 12 floors and reached the bottom. They drove a snowmobile out yesterday and drove this one home today.
Walking to the snowmobile, Zhang Xintong saw a boy about 12 years old squatting in the corner. The temperature outside was minus 40 degrees Celsius. He was not wearing thick clothes and looked frostbitten.
"Lu Yanche, look at that boy"
Lu Yanche saw the boy squatting in the corner and asked
"Why are you squatting here instead of going home? Do you need help?"
“I have no home anymore, I’m all alone.”
Lu Yanche was working in the rescue team, so he couldn't just leave the child here alone.
"Then come with me, I'll take you to a temporary shelter."
Lu Yanche and Zhang Xintong sent the child there before returning home
Zhang Hai was getting anxious. As it got dark, the two of them still hadn't returned. He sent messages to Zhang Xintong but received no reply. He also called her but she didn't answer.
Zhang Xintong saw Zhang Hai's anxiety as soon as she entered the room.
"Dad, I'm back. You must be worried. I just encountered an emergency and came back late."
"Don't do this next time. Don't reply to my messages or answer my calls."
Zhang Xintong took out her phone, but it was automatically turned off.
"Dad, the phone turned off automatically. It might be too cold outside. I will be more careful next time."
Lu Yanche also explained
"Dad, next time I will definitely bring Tongtong back earlier"
Zhang Hai saw that his uncle was there, so he did not scold Zhang Xintong. Zhang Hai still prepared hot pot. It was cold and he wanted to eat something hot.
The two-person family became a three-person family. The dinner was very warm. Zhang Hai said to Lu Yanche
"Yan Che, come live here during your holidays. We have everything at home. It's convenient to live here so I don't have to worry about you."
"Okay, Dad"
At night, in Zhang Xintong's bedroom, Lu Yanche didn't dare to make too much noise, as it would be bad if his father-in-law heard it at home.
Zhang Xintong's voice was not small, Lu Yanche covered Zhang Xintong's mouth
"Wife, please keep your voice down."
"I won't, or you can stop bullying me, ah!"
Lu Yanche had no choice but to kiss Zhang Xintong's lips, trying to keep the sound down. The intermittent moans were even more tempting, and Lu Yanche couldn't stop.
Zhang Xintong hooked her legs around Lu Yanche's waist, put her arms around his neck and said
"Don't worry, the soundproofing in my house is very good. My dad won't be able to hear me even if I scream."
Hearing Zhang Xintong's words, Lu Yanche completely let go, but Zhang Xintong regretted it. She shouldn't have said it. If she hadn't said it, this man could have had some restraint.
The next day when Lu Yanche left, Zhang Xintong saw him off.
"Lu Yanche, if you have time to rest, come back. I'll be waiting for you at home."
Lu Yanche hugged Zhang Xintong and coaxed
"Tongtong, I will come back as soon as I have a break. Stay home and be good with dad. Call me if you have anything."
"Okay, please be careful out there."
"I will"
After Lu Yanche left, Zhang Xintong returned to her old life. Lu Yanche was too busy every day and had no time to be sweet with Zhang Xintong. Sometimes he would come back once every two weeks, and sometimes only once every two or three months. Zhang Xintong basically stayed alone in the empty room.
A year passed quickly and the extreme cold ended
Zhang Hai has been exercising well and is in good health. His fighting skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and self-protection is no problem for him.
Zhang Xintong's internal strength has also been steadily improving. Although she hasn't tried it, she thinks it's no problem to knock down 20 people.
The arrival of extreme heat means chaos. The hot weather and reduced food make people more and more irritable. Fights often occur, and Lu Yanche is even busier.
The outdoor temperature is already 50 degrees and is still rising. The places that were frozen after the heavy rain have all evaporated, whether it is water or ice.
"Xiao 9, if I sell food in this world and make life easier for the people here, will that count as a good deed? Will I gain more merit and golden light?"
"Tongtong, if you do good deeds, you will receive a lot of golden light, but not much, because your power is limited."
"Xiao 9, I had two more times before, wasn't that a lot?"
"Tongtong, in the world where you were a god, you prevented several large-scale wars, saving many lives. You also practiced medicine and saved lives for tens of thousands of years, so you generated a lot of merit and golden light. In the third world, you helped Chen Sijin ascend the throne. He was diligent and caring for the people, and the people of the entire country had enough food and clothing, living and working in peace and contentment. After your son succeeded to the throne, the people's lives were even better, so you also generated a lot of merit and golden light. You are selling food here, which can help some people, but the merit and golden light generated is limited, not too much. If added to your mother's life, it might only last a few months."
"Xiao 9, a few months is not a small amount. Even a small mosquito is still meat. Don't look down on a few months."
The source of the food is a problem. Zhang Xintong doesn't intend to show her true face to others, as it would be very annoying if someone checks on her.
After heavy rain, extreme cold and extreme heat, many things are no longer usable.
The internet is not working, the surveillance cameras are not working, and there is no electricity for households. The only thing ordinary people have now is half an hour of water supply every day.
Zhang Xintong knew that the water supply would not last long. The hot weather made water resources scarce, so the water supply was stopped in the third month of extreme heat.
The cell phone is no longer usable. Zhang Xintong will only know about Lu Yanche's situation when he returns home.
Zhang Xintong packed up a caravan, cut a long piece of cloth, and wrote the words "Hope Shop" on it.
The most common crops in the space are potatoes and sweet potatoes. These two crops are fast to grow and have high yields, which can satisfy your hunger. Zhang Xintong plans to sell only these two.
Zhang Xintong and Zhang Hai agreed that she would go out every morning and come back in the evening. Zhang Hai knew that his daughter was very capable and did not stop her. He just reminded Zhang Xintong to pay attention to safety.
When Zhang Xintong left in the morning, she prepared a day's worth of ice for Zhang Hai. The ice kept him cool in the house, and after melting into water, he could also wash and flush the toilet. It was very convenient.
Zhang Xintong wore thermostatic clothing and applied sunscreen when she went out. She didn't go far, just to a small park. Now the surveillance cameras couldn't be used, so Zhang Xintong directly took the RV out of the space and hoped to hang the shop's banner on the side of the car.
Zhang Xintong also prepared a small blackboard with the words: This store sells potatoes and sweet potatoes. The daily supply is uncertain and will be sold out while stocks last.
Because money is no longer useful now, everyone uses barter, so Zhang Xintong also made a note of barter.
The makeup Zhang Xintong put on herself was very different from her real appearance. She looked like an ordinary woman in her 30s.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes are ready, and Zhang Xintong is waiting in the cool RV while watching TV.
Although the weather is hot, there are still many people looking for food. I hope the shop will be discovered soon.
Zhang Xintong heard a knock on the window soon after. She opened the window and saw a woman in her 40s. The woman started talking.
"Boss, how do I exchange potatoes for sweet potatoes?"
"You bring something, and I'll give you potatoes or sweet potatoes based on how much I think they're worth."
The woman took out a watch and handed it to Zhang Xintong. Zhang Xintong had everything she needed, but she couldn't give away potatoes and sweet potatoes for free.
"You can exchange it for 5 kilograms. Do you want potatoes or sweet potatoes?"
