A female utopia under the apocalypse of natural disasters

On the first day of the midsummer period, although the temperature had not yet reached [-] degrees, the bright sun had been shining in the sky for a long time, and the temperature was not much different.

In a single room with a kitchen and bathroom in a community next to the university town, the heavy curtains were tightly drawn, but the door separating the kitchen and bedroom was left wide open to allow the air in the room to circulate.

The tenant of this rental house was lying naked on the mat, with only a silk shirt covering her belly to prevent it from getting cold. A small fan was hung on the bedside with a non-stick hook, and it was blowing towards her. blow.

The fan was specially adjusted at a good angle, and the air it blew out was just right from my neck to my toes.

However, just using a fan and sleeping without clothes was not enough to get a good night's sleep in the hottest summer day of the year, so she put ice packs on her forehead and insteps, and wrapped them with towels or cloth strips. It ensures a chill without chilling your stomach.

But even with such preparations before going to bed, it could only barely guarantee that she would not be woken up by the heat.

In fact, her back was already wet with sweat, she frowned, her head shook from side to side from time to time, and she shook an ice pack wrapped in a towel on her forehead.

The weather was already hot, but it became even hotter now that my forehead couldn't feel the coolness.

About half an hour later, the alarm on her phone rang. Ye Ting suddenly opened her eyes and gasped for air.

After she calmed down a little, she stood up and turned off the fan, then took off the ice pack on her body and took it out of the towel next to the cooling pillow. I got out of bed and took two steps, opened the freezer door, put the ice pack that was almost melted, and took out four large ice cubes frozen in an ice powder bowl. I turned around and walked to the bathroom door, putting the ice cubes in the ice cube that had already been filled. Water in the folding tub.

She walked sideways into the bathroom, washed her face, and her sleepy head felt a little awake. After standing on the squat toilet to prevent the face-washing water from flowing into the tub and contaminating the clean water, Ye Ting scooped up the remaining water from the sink nearby. Pour from the neck.

The slightly cool water touches the skin and washes away the heat a little bit, but it's not enough.

After turning on the faucet and adding some clean water to wash away the water stains on her body, she stepped into the tub and sat in it.

Being submerged in the cold water, the heat on her body quickly disappeared, and Ye Ting let out a long breath. Recall the dream I just had.

The temperature continues to rise, the houses look a little distorted in the heat wave, and there are all kinds of bugs and rats scurrying underground; the rain, the continuous rain, the rising water gradually submerges the city, and no light can penetrate it. Black clouds; living inland but facing the storm as if living in a coastal city, and the endless roaring thunder; before she could feel joy when she saw the sun again, green quickly covered the yellow, and then quickly It turned into dark green, and the plants became less like plants, like hungry beasts swallowing flesh and blood.

The transitions between clear and blurry scenes are always accompanied by the roar of earthquakes and the sound of buildings collapsing. At the moment before waking up, the dirty green tide surged from the coastline and rushed deep into the land.

Ye Ting didn't see clearly what the dirty green things were, but she felt for no reason that they were waves composed of countless individual individuals.

He grabbed the ice cube that hadn't completely melted and wiped it on his forehead, but it didn't remind him of it at all.

"Mom~" A soft, coquettish voice came from the direction above her head. Ye Ting softened her eyebrows and looked up, only to see a fluffy green head leaning against the birdcage on the bathroom wall, with black bean-like eyes. He looked straight at her, and when he saw her looking over, he sweetly called mom again.

The voice of her furry child brought her back to consciousness, and the dream she had during her nap was forgotten. After all, it was just a dream. The sun outside was still hot, and she had to get ready to go to work.

Ye Ting hurriedly responded, moving her body left and right, and after guessing that the heat had completely subsided, she stood up, opened the cage door and let it out.

The name of this monk parrot, which is only as big as her hand, is Ye Baoer, nicknamed Bao Bao. It was a half-feathered parrot she bought through a classmate about a year ago before she graduated. The female is original green, with a label, and cost [-] yuan. .

As usual, Bao'er couldn't wait to stand up when her finger appeared outside the cage door. The moment it stood still, Ye Ting suddenly froze.

Her consciousness was pulled into a void black space. After an unknown amount of time, a small white dot appeared in front of her eyes. The white dot quickly grew in size until a spherical space was formed in front of her.

Just like the snow globes that are always decorated in stores at Christmas.

One-third of the lower space of the transparent sphere is covered with black soil, and the soil is covered with a light green layer, which looks very simple.

[If you had a small world like this, what would you want it to look like? 】

"Small world? Can living animals enter? If possible, I hope there is a single-family house in the middle of the small world. There is a large underground storage room at the bottom of the house. There are various flowers planted outside the house, and there is farmland outside. , behind the house is a vegetable field. There is a hill a little further away. There are trees and various wild products growing on the hill. Cool and sweet mountain spring water flows down from the mountain and passes through the fields. There must be a fish pond at the foot of the mountain. Next to the fish pond It is a larger vegetable garden and a pasture for raising animals. Plant some fruit trees that you like to eat in the remaining space." Ye Ting answered its question subconsciously.

[...The qualification test has passed...Binding in progress...Binding completed...Guardian permissions are being unlocked...The full unlocking time is expected to be 168 hours...Please wait patiently. 】

Consciousness returned and the words in her mind disappeared like smoke. Ye Ting came back to her senses and walked to the bed.

Put the baby on the standing stand, comb his hair and tie it back up again, then reach out and take out the ice pack from the clothes compartment on the plastic stool and put it back into the freezer. She put on cool clothes and trousers, buttoned up the fanny pack she made by herself when her furry baby went out loudly, and finally checked her and the baby's food and water as well as the baby's take-out cage.

After making sure she didn't miss anything, she put her things into her backpack and put her baby in her waist bag. Then she took the parasol and went downstairs to take the bus to work.

When she was interning in her junior year, she found a supermarket cashier job that provided an internship certificate.

Afternoon to evening shift, the probation period is only one month, the salary during the probation period is 2, and the monthly salary after becoming a regular employee is 5. After becoming a full-time employee, she happened to see a breakfast shop hiring a cashier on her way to work. She only worked from 7 to 11 a.m., with a monthly salary of 2 yuan, and the same three-day off as a supermarket cashier.

Ye Ting applied decisively, so she got two jobs with a total salary of 4k5.

She and her parents broke up about the blind date. She didn't need to use her salary to buy a house for her younger brother. She only had to support her and her two children.

But she really wanted a home of her own, so after working for almost a year, she still lived in the single room she rented off campus during her internship - it only cost 300 a month, including water, electricity and food and drink for her mother and her husband. Going out to eat only costs 600-700 a month.

However, the current deposit of 4 yuan will take another five and a half years to buy a house, and this does not include decoration.

In the past, she would feel happy after mentally calculating how much money she had saved, but this time it was different. There seemed to be a stone pressing on her heart, as if something important was about to happen.

Half an hour later, the bus stopped at the entrance of the supermarket, and Ye Ting walked in as usual.

Put on the staff uniform, put on the mask, let the baby stand on your shoulders, carry your backpack and walk to the work station.

The supermarket where she works occupies three floors, with 16 manual cashiers and nearly [-] self-service cashiers. Her work station is located in the packaged goods area, far away from cooked food and vegetables.

Of course, she is not the only cashier who brings pets into the supermarket. Yu Lili, who works next to her, also has a monk parrot, and their parrots even come from the same litter.

Yu Lili fell in love with the lively one at first glance, and she fell in love with the quiet squatting baby. Because she felt that the bird was not healthy enough, the seller even offered her a discount.

Seeing her coming, Yu Lili's eyes curled up, and her enthusiastic smile couldn't be blocked even by a mask. The two waved to each other, and the two parrot sisters also greeted each other as usual.

However, Ye Ting's baby called Rou Rou and then became quiet. Yu Lili's Yueyue called several times and stopped when the baby didn't respond.

Because of their two parrots, more customers are checking out here. There are even customers who also have parrots who specifically choose this supermarket to shop, and finally come to their place to check out. If it is not busy, they can have a chat before leaving. Two sentences.

But to say that there are many people, there must be more people on Lili's side.

Her family, Yueyue, is very lively and outgoing, and her language talent is also very high. When her baby just learned to call mommy, Yueyue had already learned several words.

Even when she joined the company a few months ago, her Yueyue would say hello and goodbye to everyone who came to check out, attracting many customers with children and free time to check out at her place, and she I am busy from morning to night and have no free time.

And my baby doesn't like to bark or pay attention to people. When she works, she either squats on her shoulder and rocks her to sleep, or goes directly to the takeout cage under the checkout counter to sleep soundly, so there are only a few customers who check out with her. It's half of Yu Lili's side.

Whenever a customer sees the baby on her shoulder and asks her why the baby doesn't talk, she usually tells the customer that her furry child is introverted.

People i raise i birds, and people e raise e birds. This is very reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it.

At ten o'clock in the evening, supermarket employees are getting ready to get off work. Cashiers like them can get off work on time, but cleaning and restocking staff usually have to leave an hour later. After all, they have to clean the supermarket, so they can't leave so early.

It's just that today a new batch of food with two or three days left to expire has been completely removed from the shelves. But because the quantity is not large, supermarkets usually give it to everyone as employee benefits.

These expiry-dated foods are items that are marked with an expiry date and are on sale but cannot be sold. They are edible, but not delicious. The better items had been picked out long ago, and what was left for cashiers like them were always some brewed drinks or simply some unpalatable solid food that couldn't be consumed within two or three days.

After dividing these things with the cashiers who came to collect them, Ye Ting put the coffee powder, tea bags and a few bottles of Oriental leaves into her backpack, went back to the staff room, changed clothes, and hurriedly left the supermarket and sat down Get on the bus and go home.

The last bus is at 10:30, which is not too late, but she is not allowed to get off work too late. After getting off the bus, there were still many people at various restaurants and food stalls around her residence, and the sound of people filled her ears.

Ye Ting went upstairs and returned home in a happy mood as usual.

Just as he was taking out employee benefits from his backpack and putting them on the table, a mechanical sound sounded in his mind.

[The first phase of fusion has been completed, please choose the unlock area by yourself. 】

Then seven icons appeared in front of me, from left to right: house, basement, hill, farm, pasture, fish pond, and woods.

Ye Ting waved her hand, the icon was still in front of her.

Hallucination? Or...isn't it an illusion?
