Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile

Li Yimin really didn't know how to start. He recently learned from the reconnaissance satellite channel that the entire blue planet had been experiencing five years of catastrophic climate change. It was expected that if everyone could hold on for another three to five years, they might be able to slowly resume production and return to their previous lives.

He had already begun to look forward to the future, but now he was told that the entire human race on the blue planet was being infected by the zombie virus. This was unacceptable to him.

He locked himself in his office for the entire afternoon and did not see anyone. He was thinking about how many people would lose hope in life again if this breaking news was announced.

Over the years, we have experienced a large-scale famine and suffered various devastating natural disasters, which have resulted in thousands of miles of fertile fields being barren. We can only survive until now by relying on relief supplies from the headquarters.

In order to survive, people had to flee their homes. No one could be found in the villages where they used to live. There was no smoke from cooking fires, and every household had its doors tightly shut. A large number of people died and fled. According to statistics, the current population of the country is only 25% of what it was before the disaster. Even their base, where the mortality rate was very low, has dropped sharply from 12 to now. What a shocking number.

Now, the disaster victims in the base all wore ragged clothes, and hunger became their normal state. Even those families with many people and no labor force, with elderly parents and children, the women shouldered the burden of the family and took their children to look for food outside. Sometimes, when they found a fallen elm tree, they would scrape off the bark with a knife and take it home to store as food.

Li Yimin also saw an old man and a little girl lying on the edge of the ruins in the southern area. The old man had no strength due to hunger and had to rely on a stick to support himself to stand and walk, but he still wanted to survive. During the most difficult period, there was not even tree bark or grass roots in the base. He also remembered the old man in patched clothes kneeling outside the service hall begging for help, and a woman holding a hungry and crying child beside her crying and gasping for breath. Faced with difficulties, they survived and all wanted to survive.

For the entire afternoon, countless images popped up in Li Yimin's mind, whether to respond to the call and move to the new underground city or to stick to the Gui K base. If he stuck to the base, he would lose the rescue supplies from the headquarters, and he would have to carry everything on his own no matter what the situation was in the future. If he went to the underground city, he would obey orders and live according to the city rules of the underground city.

He felt that he had no right to make decisions for everyone and to tell them the pros and cons. It was entirely voluntary to leave or stay.

In fact, his owner's Gui K base was a very remote base. The zombie virus might not be transmitted to him, but once it was infected, it would be a disaster, and he didn't dare to gamble.

In order to facilitate control, the country decided to bring all the survivors under unified management in the underground city. This is understandable. After all, the delivery of rescue supplies every month consumes huge manpower and material resources. If there are abnormalities in the base or problems that cannot be solved, the headquarters will also send people to support and investigate. The mountains are high and the roads are long, and it is very inconvenient to go back and forth. The dangers on the way have indirectly caused many soldiers to lose their reputations.

Li Yimin didn't know how big the super underground city was. He only knew its approximate location. It was said that it was built by hollowing out the underground of two cities. All the materials and technologies used in it were the best they could come up with at present.

The design inside was even more amazing. They said that people could live their entire life in the underground city, from animals to birth, aging, sickness and death. The equipment and services inside were much more complete than those outside the base. Li Yimin didn't know if this was an exaggeration or a pie in the sky, but even if it was a pie, he had to eat it. Everyone in the base had the right to choose, except him.

Inside the base, everyone was responding to the call and actively carrying out the general cleaning. Su Yun and Zhang Lili climbed onto the roof fully armed to clean up the volcanic ash, but they did not sweep the volcanic ash onto the ground. Instead, they collected it in baskets, covered them and put them into the space. Sixty baskets of volcanic ash were swept out of the entire roof.

This is also why when they were doing their homework they realized that volcanic ash not only has disadvantages but also advantages, so they left some aside in case it might be needed someday.

The Planting Department has not yet gotten on track, so most of the members of the Flying Dragon Team are idle at home. However, after this incident, their tunnel has become a public leisure and entertainment venue, and everyone likes to go in and do some handicrafts together whenever they have time.

Li Yimin convened a top-level meeting at the base. The meeting lasted for two days, and thirty people discussed for three days before coming up with a plan.

Five and a half years have passed since the natural disaster. Su Yun did not live to this day in her previous life, and she died without experiencing the volcanic eruption. The future plot is even more unknown. She feels that it is about enough. If this blue planet continues to be in turmoil, ordinary people will hardly be able to survive.

While she was thinking about this, she received a forced push message on her mobile phone. It was fixed on the screen like a virus message, and the bold and large red font told her that something big had happened.

As expected, my guess was correct. I clicked on the message and saw a notification from the base:

Please note! Please note! Please note!

We have received the latest news from our superiors. The world is experiencing the baptism of the zombie virus. Foreign countries have become the hardest hit areas. The virus is approaching our country. We have received an order for all personnel to evacuate to the super underground city built by the state. Everyone who has received the news, please pay attention to the command of your base in time and wait for collective evacuation. Please note that the underground city does not accept individuals and unknown groups to enter, and only accepts unified relocation of national bases.

Every resident of the base will receive this message. Even if their cell phone is out of battery, the propaganda vehicle will play it in an endless loop. Notices are also posted in the base's service hall.

For a moment, the base was in an uproar, and everyone was discussing this matter eagerly.

Su Zhangming just opened his mouth and asked Su Yun: Sister? What do you think?

Before Su Yun could answer, the other members of the Flying Dragon Team came to the Su family to discuss the matter. Suddenly, the Su family became bustling with activity, so they decided to hold a meeting on the spot to discuss the matter.

The others had no qualms about it. The young grandfather said: Su Yun's father, we have been away from home and together for the past few years, and we really trust your vision, so I will go wherever you go, and we are willing to follow you whether you leave or stay.

The grandmother and Su Zhibang nodded in agreement.

Lan's father also expressed his opinion: We will follow you too.

Xiaojing and Wang Zhihui: We are the same. We will go wherever you go.

The older cousin and the younger cousin also said: Let’s go together outside.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Wang Jie went to open the door and it turned out to be Meng Zhe and Tan Chuang. After receiving the news, the two exchanged glances and came to the Su's house together. They thought this was an opportunity and they couldn't fall behind again. After careful consideration, they also wanted to follow the Su's family.

Seeing that everyone was there and had expressed their opinions, Tan Chuang also said: I know this is a bit bad, but the two families outside also want to follow you. Whether you leave or stay, they all want to follow you.

Tan Chuang still felt a little guilty, so he didn't dare to say he would go together, he only dared to say he would follow.

The Su family themselves haven’t thought it through yet.

Su Yun: Don't make decisions blindly. We have only got general information now. Let's invite the base commander to dinner tonight and find out more specific information.

Wang Jie: Yes, the entire lower level is discussing this matter now, and they won’t move for a while, so we still have time. As for Brother Tan and your two families, don’t worry, we will tell you when there is a result.

Tan Chuang and Meng Zhe were happy in their hearts, as they were accepted again.

When Wang Jie called Li Yimin, Li Yimin was checking the list of various materials in the base. He knew that Wang Jie must have called at this time to find out more inside information. He has been very fond of the Su family in the past few days. It was he who designated the Flying Dragon Team to work for the Planting Bureau. Moreover, after experiencing the last kidnapping of Li Haoran, he had a new understanding of the strength of the Su family. He was also very moved by Su Yun's attitude that Li Haoran was useless and not worthy of care, so there was no reason not to go.

In the evening, Li Yimin took his entire family and Liang Cancan, a perennial single, to the Su family for dinner.

Braised dried fish, braised pig's trotters, pork belly with bamboo shoots, pork with preserved mustard greens, stir-fried lettuce, tomato soup. All of them are in pots, not only delicious but also filling. The Dragon Team also took this opportunity to have a meal together. Maybe this is their last meal together at this base. Everyone took out the food they have saved for a long time at home to share. There are not many varieties, just small pancakes of various flavors or dried wild fruits that can be stored for a long time. These small pancakes will not go bad for several months, but they are a bit dry, a bit like homemade compressed biscuits. Dried fruits can at least supplement some vitamins.

Li Yimin really believed that the Su family had no shortage of supplies. Last time, they had even provided two truckloads of supplies to the Illuminati. Later, when taking inventory of the Illuminati's supplies, these supplies were returned to the Su family. He also knew that the Su family often went to the service hall to exchange points at half the price of the base. This family was grateful and capable, and he was willing to make close friends with a family like this.

Li Yimin said at the dinner table: The base must be relocated, because it is the request of the superiors, and he has to do it, because if he does not follow the policy this time, the base will be isolated in the future and will not be allocated various rescue supplies from above. This is not only a large-scale refuge migration of mankind, but also a key point for the reorganization of the entire social resources. No one knows when the natural disaster will end, and when those terrible viruses will disappear. As the old saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. As long as there are people outside, you can rebuild a new home. And don’t think that the choice is given to you this time, but I guess that most people will not stay where they are, because the opportunity to enter the underground city is only once, no matter what the reason is for not keeping up with the pace of the main force, the underground city will not open a back door.

Wang Jie: If that’s the case, then this is indeed a rare opportunity.

Li Yimin sighed: "Alas, the notice of the base cannot be too exaggerated, but it is true. I have received requests from three or four small individual bases outside, asking to be incorporated into our base, so that they can enter the underground city with legitimate identities. However, is it so easy to enter the underground city? Only those who have been officially registered in our national security system for more than three months are eligible to register to enter. Some people in our base are still hesitant because they don't know the interests involved. I hope that all members of our base will move, but I am also worried that there are too many rules in the underground city, and many people are used to freedom, so something will happen.

Father Su: Is it so strict? Has anyone moved in?

Li Yimin: Captain of Beijing E Base, are you serious? He heard from others that if you live in the underground city, you must unconditionally obey the city regulations, and the degree of freedom is definitely not as high as it is now. It is a place where materials are king, and living conditions are divided into different levels according to ability. So although the underground city has certain rescue guarantees, the level system is also extremely strict. This is also a point of concern for me.

Liang Cancan said while gnawing on a pig's trotter: Yes, what the leader outside said is right. I heard from a comrade of mine that the base has prepared 9 levels of identity cards for everyone, and each identity card has different permissions. Brother Zhang Ming, your family's pig's trotters are so delicious, not at all as hard as wild boar's trotters.

Su Zhangming laughed and said: "My aunt used to be the chef, so her cooking skills are naturally impeccable. However, I have a question, how are these status levels distinguished?"

Li Yimin wiped the mouth of his daughter who was eating sauce next to him and said: "Based on the big data, we will make our own judgment, including whether there is a criminal record, the length of time a person has worked at the base, personal points and assets, and the channels for exchanging for material donations. In short, the evaluation criteria have not been issued yet. We will make a specific division after we have counted the number of people who have migrated."

Zhao Min was also very satisfied with her meal tonight, and she also joined the topic: It should be after all the people are counted and divided according to the total number of people, I guess there is a fixed ratio of places for each level.

Li Yimin: That’s right. Have you decided whether to stay or go?

Now that I've made myself clear, it's time to make my stance clear.

Su Zhangming: Of course we will follow you. We have seen how devoted you have been to the base over the years. With you around, our rights and interests will definitely be protected.

Oh, Xiao Su, you are flattering me again. Others may not know, but I do. Your Su family is well-known for being low-key and wealthy in our West District. I still need your help. I am usually busy with work and always ignore Zhao Min and her three daughters. Thanks to your help, my Zhao Min has become much more cheerful in the past two years.

After the meal, it was dark outside. Everyone gathered around the fire in Su's house to make tea. Li Yimin told some gossip about the underground city, such as that employees in the Planting Department might be given priority in work arrangements after going to the underground city.

The next day, everyone had to formally sign up for the migration list. 90% of the people expressed their willingness to follow the extremely low relocation. Only a very small number of people had their own concerns, such as the elderly who could not walk, those who had lost limbs during the natural disasters, and some local families. They were unwilling to leave. They felt that the virus would not necessarily spread here, and that it was much better here than being locked up in an underground city because they could rely on the mountains for food.

In short, everyone has different concerns, and this base does not do any ideological work. They are all their own choices, so just respect them.

After counting the number of people, the base gave everyone a week to sort out their family files, and explained that the entire relocation would take two months of walking to the destination, and everyone should be mentally prepared. If anyone fell behind, the base could only give a rough route map and would not be responsible for the follow-up of the people who fell behind. Those who fell behind could go to the dungeon to report on their own with the base card, because the dungeon only recognized the names on the list, so arriving late was acceptable. Suddenly, the base became lively again.

Some people use a large stone mortar to crush the dried ingredients into powder, while others collect tree bark and put it in a bamboo basket, then grind the bark into powder and mix it with wild vegetable buns to act as a binder, and then eat the bark when they are hungry.

There were also those who were wealthier who tied the dried animal meat and mountain products into bundles and put them in different places, two or three bundles in the quilt and two or three bundles in the backpack. In short, everyone understood that eggs should not be put in one basket.
