Global Apocalypse: Awakening the Soul-Swallowing Talent at the Beginning.

Yongcheng.

Lin Family Center Shelter.

Surrounding planting areas.

Time flies, and the sun sets again in the sky.

at this time,

There are still 3 hours until dark;

There are still 21 hours until the first wave of rifts erupts.

After working in the fields all day, the shelter members boarded the bus back to the shelter, relaxing their tired bodies and minds in the sound of conversation.

They are all civilian players.

The talent grades are mostly black iron or bronze.

Even if one has silver or gold, they are innate abilities that do not provide any combat power.

After entering the shelter, we were assigned to the surrounding planting area, facing the loess and our backs to the sky.

This life of going out early and coming back late like today has lasted for more than ten days.

Although the work is hard,

But as long as I have enough food to eat and don’t have to face those scary monsters, life is pretty good.

After all, it is the end of the world.

If it were any other major power, there would be no chance that "waste" like them would be left behind.

Most civilian players are satisfied.

But from time to time, one or two discordant words would be heard amid the joyful conversation.

"When will this day end?"

"Look at my hand. I got a big blister from the hoe handle again today!"

"If this continues, all my careful maintenance over the past few years will be ruined!"

He Peiqin sat with her legs crossed, looking at her palms repeatedly, like a noisy chicken.

Right next to her stood an old woman with gray hair.

The old woman was obviously much older than her.

Although I didn't do any heavy physical work, my body was trembling slightly due to the day's fatigue.

Even so, He Peiqin had no intention of moving or giving up her seat.

When the people around heard the complaints, they all looked at him sideways.

After recognizing He Peiqin's face, they all showed disgust.

It is this woman who does the least work and eats the most every day.

He complains every day, complaining about this and that.

As time went on, except for a few students who had always followed her, almost no one was willing to work with her.

Some of the impatient ones, seeing the woman nagging non-stop, couldn't help but say:

"Can you please stop complaining? This is the general environment now. It's good enough to have enough food to eat and a safe place to sleep."

"Yeah, the Lin family just let us do some farm work. It's not like we're risking our lives. So we can just be tired a little bit."

"Grandma Cheng is almost sixty years old, and she doesn't complain about being tired. You're only over forty, why are you complaining?"

Facing the accusations from everyone, He Peiqin turned a deaf ear to them, just raised her chin and spoke to Wang Xuyan who was not far away:

"Xuyan, please help the teacher treat it. This big blister is really painful..."

A trace of barely perceptible disgust flashed across Wang Xuyan's eyes.

She was also tired after a day's work and had very little energy left.

It was enough to cast two healing spells, but after that, she would undoubtedly become more tired.

If she had a choice, she would never treat the blisters on He Peiqin's hands.

But she didn't.

Just because of a series of wrong decisions made in the past, she and He Peiqin are now tied together.

A faint light fell, and the blisters on the palms slowly healed.

At this moment, someone noticed that the old woman standing next to He Peiqin was trembling and whispered:

"Hey, Grandma Cheng, why are you shaking? Your calves are shaking so badly. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

The old woman called Grandma Cheng forced a smile and responded:

"It's nothing serious. I just spent a little too much time in the sun today..."

When everyone heard this, they all sighed:

"This is too much. What's the point of working so hard at your age..."

"I heard that your granddaughter seems to be working for the Lin family? Ask her to talk to the manager and arrange a leisurely position for you..."

"Grandma Cheng's granddaughter is amazing. She seems to be highly valued by the Lin family. I saw her busying around the head of the Lin family a few days ago..."

"Tsk, what's the use? Isn't her grandmother still working in the fields? She is not filial at all!"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Grandma Cheng came to the plantation area to work voluntarily. The Lin family originally arranged for her to serve meals."

"Oh, you're also working part-time... Aren't you exhausted?"

Although Grandma Cheng was tired, she had a happy smile on her face:

"It's just a meal, I just do it."

"I have some spare energy. I used to do farm work. I don't want to hinder the shelter, so I came to the planting area."

"I didn't know the sun would be so strong today. I'm exhausted from the sun. I really can't accept my old age..."

Seeing that Grandma Cheng was speaking weakly, as if she might collapse at any time, everyone hurriedly said to He Peiqin beside her:

"Teacher He, please give someone a seat quickly. Grandma Cheng can hardly stand."

Before He Peiqin could speak, Grandma Cheng waved her hand and said:

"No, no, I can still stand for this little while."

"I'll serve food to everyone later, and then I can sit down and rest for a while. It's okay."

"Everyone is tired after a day, please take a good rest, don't give me your seat."

There was a response from the crowd:

"I saw it all. Teacher He didn't do any work today!"

"That's right. I only spent half an hour slacking off, but I don't know where I went to be lazy."

"Yes, she is not tired at all. As soon as she gets on the bus, she grabs the seat. She is smarter than a monkey..."

Seeing more and more criticisms, He Peiqin could no longer sit still.

But he didn't stand up to give up his seat. Instead, he put his hands on his hips and started yelling at the loudest part of the crowd:

"What are you guys yelling about? You're saying I didn't do any work, do you have any evidence?!"

"You want to blackmail me into giving up my seat to this old lady?"

"They've already said it themselves, no need to give way! I see you guys are shouting so loudly, do you want to sit there by yourselves?"

The crowd was not to be outdone:

"Grandma Cheng is kind-hearted and has been doing her best to contribute to the shelter. She never thought that she would feed an ungrateful person like you!"

"She is not a wolf at all, at best she is just a lazy dog!"

"Hahaha, that's right, only eating can stop her from complaining..."

"We should really give some advice to the Lin family and ask them to drive these termites out of the shelter."

Seeing the quarrel getting more and more intense, Grandma Cheng hurriedly stopped it:

"Everyone, please keep quiet and keep peace. It's the end of the world now, and it's not easy..."

The person who was speaking for Grandma Cheng lowered his voice, but He Peiqin became arrogant instead.

Knowing she was outnumbered, she simply grabbed the softest-tempered Grandma Cheng and scolded her:

"You are such an old fool. You are not satisfied with having an easy job. You have to come to the plantation to attract attention!"

"I'm tired after a day, what's wrong with taking a break? What's wrong with grabbing a seat?!"

"If you have the ability, you should be more agile and grab a seat!"

"Just like that little bitch Cheng Duoduo, they both like to put on a show to gain sympathy!"

"They are stupid and have been kept in the dark by you, but I am not stupid!"

Facing He Peiqin's storm, Grandma Cheng's lips trembled and she said nothing.

But at this moment, a sharp brake sound came into everyone's ears.
