Everyone Knows I’m a Good Man

The third year after the meteorite rain

A car drove out among the grass that was taller than a person.

This car is really higher than before the end of the world. The whole car is a giant. The body is welded with iron wires. The roof is covered with a green plastic sheet. If you look at it from a high altitude, it can be perfectly hidden in the grass. .

Although this car has a unique shape, it is very common in major bases today.

After all, plants grow very fast. Even if you cut down a road, there are not as many humans as there were before the end of the world, and you can still cut down everywhere. So this car can perfectly blend into the environment without losing sight of the road ahead. Just appeared.

The car was driving, and the driver seemed to see something and braked suddenly.

A young woman with a big belly quickly sat up straight in the car and asked, "What's wrong?"

The driver turned around to reassure her: "It's okay, there are just snakes passing by. Just wait until they pass."

Yes, after the great disaster, the human population declined sharply, but the animals were only partially affected. And because most animals can reach adulthood in a very short period of time, now that there is no human interference, they have grown and grown. After rebirth, the planet is now an entire animal world.

The situation has reversed. The beasts who once turned around and ran away when they saw humans have become more generous. If there are those with strong desire to attack, they may even take the initiative to attack.

Fortunately, they encountered a group of snakes this time. Although today's snakes are very venomous and not afraid of people, they also have no interest in attacking people.

After all, even if they are numerous and large, they are still there, and they are basically not interested in prey that they cannot swallow.

But the danger is real.

The pregnant woman touched her belly and looked out of the car window. She looked worried at the group of colorful snakes that seemed to contain poisonous snakes leisurely passing by.

"We have just entered the Dong'an territory and have encountered so many wild beasts. Are you sure it is really suitable for living?"

"Don't worry Qianqian, I've made it clear. Although Dong'an doesn't often interact with outsiders, every time the major bases hold fairs, the Dong'an people are well-dressed, and most of the food they bring is food and beast meat. I used to The faces of the few Dong'an people I have contacted are all rosy. Don't worry, although they are xenophobic, you can get resettlement as long as you join Dong'an. And if you are pregnant, Dong'an is quite friendly to pregnant women. "

Yes, the pregnant woman was Zheng Qianqian, whom Ji Changze and the others met by chance three years ago, and the driver was Hu Hao.

Three years ago, after they parted ways with Ji Changze and his party, they went to Hu Hao's hometown as planned. However, Hu Hao's grandparents had already passed away when they went there. After feeling sad, the two decided to settle in place.

Almost half a year later, various places have their own forces and major bases have been established. They have also moved to the nearest base. The two have become husband and wife and support each other. They are both young. Although they have no background, they have gradually practiced With his good skills, although his life was not to say very good, it was enough for him to have enough food and clothing.

Originally, it was okay for the two of them to continue like this, but this year Zheng Qianqian became pregnant.

They are two adults, so it doesn't matter how they live or endure hardships. But when the child is born, do they have to let the fragile baby live with them in a concentrated house where the summer is hot and the winter is cold, and eat food without any seasoning? ?

In addition, although the base maintains a superficial peace, in today's world, there are always people who will take desperate risks. Even if the sentences in the base are severe, the two of them often hear that "the husband went out hunting and returned home only to find that the whole family died tragically" and "young children only Things like "the child disappears after half an hour without being looked after, and half a month later the child's clothes are found thrown in a mass grave."

Children are too weak, and after giving birth, Zheng Qianqian has no fighting ability.

Hu Hao is no longer as naive as he was back then. He has to grow up as a husband and a father.

After careful consideration, he decided to take his wife to Dong'an City.

Dong'an City has always been a frequently mentioned word in major bases. It is said that Dong'an City was originally just a small village. After the end of the world, it named itself Dong'an and voted for its lord.

They have developed at a rocket speed, not only developing themselves but also absorbing people from other walks of life. The first time people in the base knew about Dongan was because they sent people out to buy a group of teenage children back.

Yes, nowadays the law of the jungle prevails, and slavery naturally arises. However, although these sales have not been officially cracked down or allowed, you can buy slaves. Whether these slaves can work with peace of mind in the hands of buyers depends on the abilities of the buyers themselves. .

Some people buy slaves because they cannot get a wife, and some people just want to find a job. In short, there are countless reasons for buying slaves, and the sellers are not interested in asking them one by one.

When Dong'an first started buying people, these people didn't think anything of it.

A few years later, the slaves who had been bought actually returned to the base as residents of Dongan to purchase and replace them.

At first, they were all skinny, their faces were sallow, they could walk unsteadily, and they all looked either numb or in a hurry.

Looking at it later, they all straightened their backs, the clothes they were wearing were actually made of good fabrics, they spoke confidently, their faces were rosy, and they even ate rice when they ate.

Although there is rice in the base, it is very expensive because it is easy to be coveted by wild animals when farming outside. The most common food for ordinary people is yellow pancakes, which are hard enough to be used as bricks if they are slightly cold.

Dong'an was able to take these slaves as residents and train them so well, which immediately aroused heated discussion among the residents in the base.

These young people came here for a purpose other than shopping. They answered all the questions asked by those who came to inquire. They also specifically said that Dong'an was willing to accommodate others to settle, but they had to register as Dong'an residents and were not allowed to leave within a year. Dong'an, wait until Dong'an City ensures that this person is not dangerous, and he will be able to come and go freely after he is loyal enough to Dong'an.

It is very risky for people nowadays to ask people to go to a strange place and not be able to come out within a year.

But in the face of hunger and cold, these people still chose to go to Dong'an with their families. Without exception, they showed up a year later, with cheerful and confident smiles, proving the safety of Dong'an with themselves.

In the past three years, at least 15,000 people from major bases have gone to Dong'an, and Dong'an has gradually become a paradise in everyone's mind.

Half a month ago, Dong'an announced that the population was temporarily full, and now it is the busy farming season. The whole city is too busy to spare. They will no longer send people out to guide the way. If anyone wants to live in Dong'an, they need to go there by themselves. Dong'an, and they will no longer accept everyone as they did before, but will conduct assessments.

As for the content of the exam, it’s random.

Hu Hao and Zheng Qianqian had been hesitating before, and finally made up their mind, but when Dong'an stopped taking the initiative to accept people, they gritted their teeth and finally decided to embark on the road to Dong'an by themselves.

"I heard that if you see swarms of venomous snakes, it's Dong'an. It seems like it's coming soon."

Hu Hao waited patiently for the swarm of poisonous snakes to pass before carefully driving the car forward.

The reason why Dong'an feels safe in major bases is because of their special boundaries.

It is said that although they are located in a land that is open to all directions, there are fierce beasts entrenched in all three directions. If there is someone who covets Dong'an's wealth, if you want to attack, you must consider whether it is a gift of food or meat.

On one side there are venomous snakes, on the other side there are mountains of wild boars, and on the other side there is a dense forest surrounded by bees.

The only way in and out is covered with man-eating vines.

It's strange to say that man-eating vines are everywhere. Everyone knows that they can swallow an entire human being. One plant is enough trouble. Dong'an Road is actually covered with man-eating vines, and they will not attack Dong'an. People, many people have studied it countless times and still can't find the reason.

These man-eating vines are equivalent to the best guards for Dong'an. Naturally, Dong'an will not tell others what methods they used to prevent the man-eating vines from attacking their own family.

"It's here, it's here."

After driving for another half hour, the two finally saw the densely packed road ahead of them, with some people waiting in front.

This road is filled with greenery, and it looks a bit as beautiful as the green corridors of tourist attractions in the past, but no one dares to get close.

Hu Hao asked Zheng Qianqian to rest in the car, got out of the car, took out a few peanuts from his pocket, and handed them to the man closest to him: "Brother, have some snacks."

Now that supplies are scarce, peanuts are also a good thing for them. The man happily took it and listened to Hu Hao ask: "Why doesn't everyone go in?"

"How dare you go in? It's not like you have a long life. Did you see the sign in front? Dong'an City List said they would only send people out at nine in the morning and three in the afternoon. There are still twenty minutes. Be patient. Wait, then."

Hu Hao looked over and saw a sign there.

Knowing that someone would come out to pick him up made him feel more at ease. He chatted with the man for a while and found out that in twenty minutes someone from Dong'an City would come to arrange the exam. If he passed the exam, he would be able to enter the outer city. It was said that after he accumulated enough points, he would be able to enter the outer city. Only those who can live in the inner city and enter the inner city can be considered a true Dong'an person.

While they were chatting, a group of people came from the other end of the vine road.

Hu Hao has seen a lot of people in the past three years, but he has rarely seen guards like this one. Although they have a unique aura of toughness in the apocalypse, they have a calm aura, no impatience on their bodies, and even a few auras. The younger guard's eyes were full of curiosity, and his face was full of innocence and simplicity that should be expected at this age.

Innocence and simplicity...

Before the apocalypse, many people in their twenties had the same temperament, but after the apocalypse, even children as young as seven or eight would no longer be naive.

To be able to develop this kind of temperament, there must be no disputes in the place where you live. You don't have to worry about life, and you don't have to worry about someone having harmful intentions. Beware of everything.

Hu Hao had expectations for Dong'an City in his heart.

He saw everyone lining up and hurried back to help Zheng Qianqian down to line up.

The man who was talking to him before looked at Zheng Qianqian's pregnant belly with envy in his eyes.

"Dude, your wife is pregnant?"

Hu Hao nodded: "Yes."

"Then you'll probably be able to enter Dong'an City. Dong'an City welcomes pregnant women. After all, children are Dong'an residents as soon as they are born, and they can be taught from an early age."

After the end of the world, the number of women has dropped sharply. Even if they survive, some women are unable to get pregnant due to cold or injury. Unlike animals that reproduce like crazy, there will be very few children born in the three years of the end of the world, so it is normal for Dong'an to attach great importance to pregnant women. of.

This man was right. When it was Hu Hao and Zheng Qianqian's turn in line, the guard noticed that Zheng Qianqian had a pregnant belly. He immediately sent a doctor to check his pulse and confirmed that Zheng Qianqian was indeed pregnant. After that, and the two were husband and wife, he asked some questions. The question announced that they could enter the outer city of Dong'an.

Hu Hao and Zheng Qianqian were somewhat uneasy and wary. After all, they had just arrived in a new place.

But following the guards through the vine road, they were all stunned before they reached the gates of Dong'an City.

There are towering cities in front of them. There are many fertile fields outside. Many people are working in the fields in an orderly manner, and some people are passing by on bicycles.

People were accustomed to guards bringing people back, so they only took one look and continued to do their own business. Some children running around and playing were very curious about them and came around to look at them curiously.

A child who was only about five or six years old was holding a small windmill made of wood in his hand. He ran over and threw himself into the arms of a guard. He looked at the pregnant Zheng Qianqian curiously: " Brother, this sister’s belly is as big as Teacher Wu.”

This guard was the young man who was obviously inexperienced and a little naive that Hu Hao had observed before. He looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, and softly coaxed his younger brother: "This sister has a baby in her belly just like Teacher Wu, so she has a baby in her belly." Da, please stop here, my brother is still at work."

The child responded, turned around and ran back with the windmill in his hand.

Hu Hao and Zheng Qianqian were both a little stunned.

Busy but ordinary life, children who can play outside freely, and bustling streets, they have not seen these for a long time.

The two of them looked at the child who had run away, feeling hopeful in their hearts.

If their children could be born in Dong'an City, would they be like this child? They would no longer have to worry about disappearing without a trace, and would not have to worry about not having enough to eat and being too cold to sleep at night.

They were then placed in the same place where the outsiders lived when they first entered Dong'an City. Because they were a couple and Zheng Qianqian was pregnant, they shared a room for two.

After such an anxious and hopeful night's rest, Zheng Qianqian was scheduled for a physical examination the next day, while Hu Hao was sent to collect honey.

Although collecting honey is tiring, it is not very hard. As long as the body is covered with a plant liquid, the bees will naturally not attack humans.

Hu Hao brought a small spoonful of honey to Zheng Qianqian when he came back that day. The two of them soaked it in water. You took a sip and I took a sip. The sweet taste was on the tip of your tongue, and you felt peace in your heart.

I heard that these plant liquids were extracted by the lord himself and then put into use after practice.

The reason why the man-eating vines outside don't attack people is because the people in Dong'an City have been vaccinated, so the man-eating vines will naturally not attack them. The reagent they were sprayed on when they came in only has a short-term effect. Once they accumulate enough points, they will be truly recognized as Dong'an. Only urban residents will be vaccinated and can come and go normally.

The reason why the city is so prosperous is also because of the various policies proposed by the lord.

He opened fertile fields, built cities, and developed areas where animals were originally threatening, and turned those beasts that others would be afraid of into guards of Dong'an City.

The poisonous snakes are made into weapons, the honey from bees is extracted and edible, and wild boars deliberately create an environment suitable for them to breed, and people are sent to feed them.

According to this situation, even if Dong'an City never communicates with the outside world, it will definitely be able to live well.

What excites the two most is the most different place between Dong'an City and the outside world.

Dong'an City supports technology.

It is said that the Dongan Science and Technology Institute uses the most resources in Dongan.

Although it has not yet returned to the situation before the end of the world when everyone used mobile phones and computers to communicate, order takeout when they wanted to eat, take the subway when going out, and fly when traveling, we have also found devices that can communicate remotely.

At least you can have hot water in the shower, electricity at home, and a flush toilet. Although these require points to exchange for, almost everyone who has saved enough points will not give up.

These things that were most common before the end of the world are now hope.

Because Zheng Qianqian is a pregnant woman, she gets a points subsidy every month, and some light jobs are arranged for her in the city. Hu Hao is not afraid of hard work and has been working hard to save points. Before the child was born, their small family almost had enough of these. Something.

The two of them were grateful to Dong'an City.

I am grateful that at this moment, there is still a pure land.

At the same time, they also admired Lord Dong'an who could be said to have established such prosperity with his own efforts.

It's just that the lord is always busy with affairs, so naturally they can't be seen when they live in the outer city.

In the sixth year of the end of the world, Dong'an City announced that television could be broadcast.

The residents in the city went to buy TVs with excitement, and Hu Hao was the same.

That day, at eight o'clock in the evening, almost all the residents sat in front of the TV and excitedly clicked on program one.

On the screen, Ji Changze appeared in front of them and began to talk in official language about what achievements Dong'an had made over the years, how many years they planned to return to pre-apocalyptic standards, and so on.

Hu Hao and Zheng Qianqian were stunned when they looked at that familiar face.

Their children didn't know Ji Changze. They just clapped their little hands and imitated the people on TV in a babyish voice: "Restore the standards, restore the standards!"

The screen turned to the person sitting next to Ji Changze.

He and Guo Junyuan were sitting on the same sofa, and their six-year-old child sat between them, wearing a neat dress, like a little adult.

Ji Changze's hand fell softly behind his son to prevent him from accidentally falling.

The screen turned, and it was the reporter speaking: "Since the lord became the lord of Dong'an, he has built cities, cultivated fertile fields, erected protection, and explored the functions of plants to the end. He has experimented with the effects of plants time and time again, making huge contributions to medicine, architecture, and city defense. Contribution, given time, we may not be able to return to the modern society before the meteorite rain fell. Next, please ask Minister of Justice Lu Chen to let us see what it will be like overlooking Dong'an City..."

"He's really a senior."

Hu Hao was quite unbelievable: "Senior is actually our lord of Dong'an. If I hadn't seen my sister-in-law, I wouldn't have dared to recognize her."

Zheng Qianqian was also a little confused. After entering Dong'an, she had always heard praises about the lord, and she admired him very much in her heart.

As a result, the lord turned out to be Ji Changze?

So magical.

Their children were at the age where they liked to talk. When they heard the two talking, they raised their heads curiously: "Do your parents know him?"

Zheng Qianqian was stunned and looked at the safely operating Anton City on the screen.

He recalled his prejudice against Ji Changze and his disdain for thinking that he was trying to cheat on her in marriage. Then he recalled his gentleness when he and Guo Junyuan looked at each other on the screen, and smiled relaxedly.

Sure enough, she was still too young before.

Actually trust your intuition.

She held the child in her arms and said gently: "I know him. He is a very good person. When the baby grows up, he should learn from him, okay?"

In the tenth year of the end of the world, Anton City began to throw out new energy and new technology to the outside world.

In the thirtieth year of the end of the world, with the efforts of all mankind, major cities are finally on the right track. Humanity has returned to modern society again, roads have been rebuilt, planes have once again flown to high altitudes, and various food delivery apps have topped the download rankings.

Later, in order to commemorate this difficult return of mankind, this era was called the New Era.

Although the crazy growth of plants cannot be changed, for this planet, it may not be a bad thing to return to an era when green everywhere, blue skies, white clouds, clear water and mountains can be seen at a glance.

In the 49th year of the new era, Mr. Ji Changze, the biggest influencer who helped all mankind escape from this catastrophe and return to modern society, passed away on the same day as his wife. Flags around the world were flown at half-mast.

The disaster will eventually pass, and its greatest benefit is that humans learn to cherish it.

【Ding! The mission is completed, please select Vacation to continue the mission]

***

Ji Changze woke up and found himself standing in front of a courtyard that looked very shabby and shabby at first glance.

Someone behind him said to him: "Sir, although this yamen is a little dilapidated, this area is also famous for being a remote and shabby place. Sure enough, there are still some rich people in the local area who are well-off. The official has already said that you are the son-in-law of the Wei family. , With the Wei family behind them, how dare they not pay, and then mention this tax, and they can make another fortune. "

Ji Changze looked back at the person standing behind him.

Wearing gray clothes, with narrowed eyes and two handlebar mustache, he was smiling tacitly at him.

"Sir, you see, it was Xiaguan who gave you the idea to ask for money from a wealthy family. Xiaguan's family is not well-off either. You see..."

Yeah, I got it.

He is a corrupt official, and he is a corrupt official.
