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

The wildfire in the south continued to spread. From the initial two mountains burning to now, forty-eight mountains have been engulfed, and the flames soared into the sky. In order to build the firebreak as soon as possible, the base had to increase the daily task points from 10 to 20 to improve people's work efficiency. Seeing the wildfire approaching, many small animals on the mountain were either engulfed by the flames or forced to flee to the foot of the mountain for shelter. Squirrels, snakes, voles and wild boars fell into the huge pits dug by the firebreak. The people who came to do the task wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit, but they also realized that those animals were not easy to deal with. Moreover, they could not leave at will during the task. Xiao Bin was responsible for patrolling the firebreak in the base. They killed the small animals that fell into the pit and brought them back to the base as reserve food. Those who wanted to pick up bargains could only form a team after get off work to try their luck. Xiao Bin and others left after get off work, allowing them to pick up leaks with confidence. After all, they had already received a generous reward in the firebreak during the day, and the rest was regarded as an additional benefit for digging firebreaks.

The eldest cousin on the 7th floor did not go home after get off work every day, and patrolled with the people on the 5th floor. To show their support, the Su family lent them two rechargeable head-mounted mining lamps, which allowed them to guard longer than others and harvest more. One night, they actually brought back the body of a wild boar. That night, Su's father and Su Zhangming went down with knives to deal with it. Su's father had not slaughtered cattle and pigs for more than a year, so he was a little rusty this time, and there was not much water on hand, so it was not very smooth to deal with it.

After hastily peeling the skin and gutting the animal, they were done. Fortunately, the scales they had used were still there, so they divided the meat equally. After the division, the Su family was also allocated five or six pounds of wild boar ribs. Last time Director Li treated Su Yun, Su's father said he wanted to invite people to visit, but there was no chance, so he simply cut two one-pound portions of wild boar ribs and sent them to the 4th floor. Su Zhangming and Zhang Lili also went with them. Every day, she either went to do the base mission or tutored the children at home. She rarely visited the neighbors and felt a little bored.

Director Li's family was alone, so he had to ask Zhao Min, who lived next door, to deliver the letter. Zhao Min finally waited for Zhao Lili to come and chat with her. Su Zhangming took Zhao Min's two children to the 6th floor to play with Qiqi and Su Bowei.

Zhao Lili likes skin care, coffee, cooking, reading, and talking about parenting, which just happened to match Zhao Min's preferences. The two chatted on the 4th floor until dinner and then reluctantly parted.

Recently, Brother Dao has also been doing tasks at the base to earn points. Every night when their team goes to the firebreak to pick up leaks, they always meet a group of people. They wear two mining lamps on their heads and carry shoulder poles. On one side of the shoulder pole is a woven bag, and on the other side is a hoe used for daytime work. I looked at the two blinding mining lamps with envy, and then looked at the obviously weaker handheld flashlight in my hand. No wonder they patrol until very late every night. These people are not short of electricity. I really don’t want to use the battery in my flashlight. It’s so hard to walk and block one section at night. But their team is not a vegetarian. Those ferocious beasts fall into the pit. If they are encountered by them, they will definitely take them back and dry them into jerky. In this weather, making jerky is simply too convenient.

The men from Xinxu Village also went there under the leadership of Brother Tan, but the results were not so good. They had too many people and too little meat, and after finally getting a few field mice, they still didn't have enough to share. There were also frequent quarrels among the team over trivial matters, and he was always called to mediate, which annoyed him to death.

Suddenly I missed the Flying Squirrels Team. They were so united back then, without infighting and so many petty people. I secretly glanced at the Qin Guo brothers. Since they followed Brother Quan, they have become more and more taciturn and don't communicate with others at all. If it weren't for the fact that they once fought side by side, he wouldn't want to call them out together. It's really getting more and more boring.

They had to go back before it was completely dark, because they couldn't see the road clearly and it was easy to fall into the pit. They met Lan's group twice. Their equipment was really enviable, especially the two mining lamps, which made their team much stronger than most scavenging teams. However, the two teams passed each other on both sides of the fire ditch without even saying hello. Tan Chuang didn't know why things turned out like this. They could still laugh and joke in the extreme cold, but in just half a year, they had become alienated. Others looked at them with a look of dissatisfaction and contempt, but in fact, only they themselves knew the jealousy in their hearts.

Tan Chuang felt like a sandwich. When he went home, his mother controlled his food and his wife accused him of being useless. When he went out, he had to watch these people scheming against each other. The poor performances they showed made him feel very annoyed. Although he was no longer the village chief, those people habitually asked him to solve all the problems. When his parents-in-law quarreled at home, they would call him to mediate; when things were stolen at home, they would cry to him. He really didn't understand, he seemed to have become a goody-goody. He really envied Su Yun, who could live freely with his family without having to pay attention to these messy things. Countless times, he asked himself, if he had left with Su Yun's family, would the ending be completely different now.

Every time he thought of this, he envied Lan's father and his team. Their unconditional trust has brought them the stable life they have today.

After three days of rest, Su Yun's body basically returned to normal, but he still couldn't remember what happened that day.

The base's firebreak was about to be completed, but the fire spread to the vicinity of the creek and the temperature was too high, so the base was forced to end the construction of the firebreak. Liang Cancan and Xiao Bin took people to patrol the area every day, and they would use shovels to extinguish any sparks of fire. Every day, a group of people came back covered in dust and dirt, as black as the miners who had just crawled out of the ground.

The fire in the south was obviously weakened when it encountered the firebreak. The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue. The fleeing small animals were roasted. Some fearless residents of the base ran to the nearby area with woven bags in the flames to pick up the leftovers. The small animals that were burned to death were no longer a threat. Even ordinary women could pick up some small animal corpses.

When Su Ma and Su Xiaogu went to fetch water, they often saw people covered in black queuing up. You could tell at a glance that they had just returned from the fire prevention belt in the south.

These people's faces were full of fatigue, but their eyes were shining with satisfaction and joy. They processed the carcasses of small animals they had picked up and stored them.

In fact, Su Ma admired them very much. They were not defeated when they encountered the disaster. Instead, they used their own efforts and courage to bring a glimmer of hope to their lives.

She felt that if they didn't have Su Yun's space, their lives would probably be the same, having to rush around for three meals a day.
