End of the World Cycle

After Xu Kai and his family were taken to the building, they never dreamed that they would be able to live in such a nice house in their lifetime. Thinking that they were his first employees, Xie Qin was not stingy and directly arranged for the three of them to live in the house he had lived in before.

Xu Kai looked at such a nice house nervously, and after a while he asked Xie Qin who was about to leave behind him.

"Boss, when do I start working for you?"

"Don't worry. Can you fix any car?"

“Basically, as long as there are no major structural changes, they will be repaired.”

"What about vehicles like trucks and buses?"

“I don’t really understand these.”

"I'll have someone send you some books later so you can study them carefully. After you start working, try to see if you can repair these cars."

"Okay! Boss, I will definitely study hard."

Yang Yuan arrived at around eight o'clock on the third morning. When Miao Zhe contacted Xie Qin with the satellite phone, Xie Qin was still having breakfast. He was surprised that he had arrived in two and a half days on a raft after such a long distance.

Xie Qin was even more shocked when Miao Zhe said that Yang Yuan was alone with four elderly people and a pregnant woman. The four elderly people were his and his wife's parents, and his wife was already nearly eight months pregnant.

Miao Zhe arranged for the person to stay in one of the three-bedroom suites on the 16th floor where the property owner had lived before. When Xie Qin came down and saw the real person, she knew why Yang Yuan would rather risk the destruction of his entire family to come to her.

He had no other choice. The whole family was skinny, especially the four elderly people, whose faces were sallow and only their skeletons were supporting them. He himself didn't have much flesh on his body. Only the pregnant woman looked a little better, but she was still much thinner than normal people, which made her belly look particularly big.

If this family doesn't have food anymore, they won't survive for more than three days. Xie Qin realized that Yang Yuan was very young. After learning more about him, she realized that Yang Yuan was only 22 years old and had just started working. He really wasn't a skilled person. Fortunately, his courage and carefulness were not completely useless.

"Go to the warehouse and get some food for them." Xie Qin waved at Miao Zhe. Miao Zhe immediately understood and went to his own home. Since Miao Zhe and his mother moved to Dr. Lan's house, his own home has become Xie Qin's warehouse, where he puts some commonly used rice and flour and canned instant foods with a long shelf life. It is convenient for him to take them to help those who Xie Qin thinks can use them.

There was no need to go to the 88th floor to find Xie Qin's mother to get supplies every day. After giving some food to the newcomers, Yang Yuan almost knelt down to Xie Qin.

"Don't kneel. From now on, you will follow Miao Zhe and do his work. The most important thing about staying here is to listen less, watch less, and understand less. Just do your own thing well. Be absolutely loyal and never change jobs. Do you understand?"

"Understood! Boss, I will definitely work hard."

"If you have any problems, you can go to Miao Zhe and he will arrange it for you." When saying this, Xie Qin took a special look at Yang Yuan's wife.

"Thank you! Thank you, boss!"

For the next period of time, Xie Qin did not go out, just waiting for the tide to slowly recede. A week later, the temperature had risen to 37 or 38 degrees.

The water level was only about ten meters. More and more zombies appeared in the city. Many people had not had time to get over the excitement of the rainstorm disappearing before they were hit by the zombies again.

Xie Qin was so hot that she turned on the air conditioner. She had already laid out the solar panels on the rooftop, so electricity was not a problem. A house on the 16th floor near the safety passage was converted into an office by Miao Zhe and Yang Yuan. Because they occasionally sent supplies during this period, the dozen or so useful people would think of Miao Zhe first when they had something to do. It was convenient for them to find people. Miao Zhe directly set up an office. It also saved the two of them from running back and forth.

Gradually, other people also knew that Miao Zhe could exchange food, and those who had gold and silver at home would bring them to exchange, but some fools brought money to exchange, and started to act pitiful before they got anything. Especially some old ladies. Miao Zhe didn't know what to do.

But Yang Yuan took out a gun and shook it on the table.

"We can give our stuff to whoever wants it. It's clearly written in black and white that we will only exchange it for gold, diamonds, and jade. If you don't have these, just go away and thank me. If you want to cheat, I don't mind giving the monsters outside a meat dish!"

The old woman was so scared that she crawled back home. After that, no one came to get something for nothing. During this period, some people who were not brave enough went out to look for food, but no one came back.

The family members went out to look for him again, and they rescued him one by one, just like the gourd dolls saving their grandfather. Xie Qin wanted to count the number of people, so he directly organized an event to give away free food, one pound of rice per person in each household. Originally, you could get it for free by registering your information.

This finally clarified the matter. Many people died in their homes during the rainy season. The funny thing is that most of them were probably poisoned by food. Of the more than 190 households that were thought to have survived, only 163 remained.

Miao Zhe and Yang Yuan nailed the sign again. After Xie Qin arrived at the office, he gave them a piece of paper with the new exchange items on it.

The house can continue to be lived in and you can stay in the building forever as long as you do not violate the building rules.

Depending on the size of the house, you can exchange it for corresponding solar panels. A 100-square-meter house can be exchanged for 20 square meters of solar energy. Depending on the number of people in the family, each person can get two kilograms of basic food, rice and flour, per week.

"Boss, the house is so expensive, will they be willing?"

"Don't worry, life is more important at the critical moment."

Miao Zhe and Yang Yuan did not ask any more questions. They just did whatever the boss said. At noon, Xu Kai and his father carried the big iron door to the entrance of the emergency passage on the 13th floor and sealed the emergency passage. The gap in the iron door was not small, and even some zombies could squeeze in with a crazy nod.

It was just a grid-like layout, so only one head could get in. The tide hadn't receded, and no one had come down. The reason why there were no zombies coming up the stairs here was because the previous property management had closed the doors and windows of all the houses.

After installing the iron door, Xie Qin went directly into the water and opened the door of the safe passage. After all, if she didn't give these people food, they would die if they were trapped here. It would be better to let them know that they were already on the verge of death. So that she could build the base earlier.

The temperature has risen to 43 degrees. When the house exchange solar panels came out, Xie Qin didn't expect Liang Pengfei to be the first to come. You know, Xie Qin is good to Liang Pengfei and his wife. The rainy season has passed, and Xie Qin asked Miao Zhe to install 20 square meters of solar panels, which is enough for the couple.

Because I would go to him to learn from him and bring them food. Logically, they were the ones who needed it the most. Liang Pengfei's arrival surprised Xie Qin.

"Let me work with you." This is what Liang Pengfei said to Xie Qin.

"Master, you? Are you sure?"

"This world is broken, isn't it? We seem to have been abandoned as well. Everyone wants to live. Your master's wife said that if I follow you, I will definitely be able to survive?"

"Why do you think so, Master's wife?"

"Maybe it's a woman's intuition. I don't know what you want the houses here for, but I can sense that you want all the houses, so I'll take mine as surrender. The houses on the 55th floor have all been replaced, and I believe that some of the smaller ones that are still waiting will be replaced soon."

"Okay! Master, I will give your family two more kilograms of vegetables every week from now on."

"No need. I've already said that I will work for you, so just pay me." Liang Pengfei said with a smile.

"Okay. Yang Yuan's parents cook for all my people, and they eat on time every day. It's in the next room, which is considered the canteen. You will teach everyone martial arts in the future, and you will also choose a house on the 16th floor to clean up. No matter men, women, young or old, everyone will learn. You take this card, which contains points. I can't tell you what it is for now. You also know that this world is broken, and this card is our new order. Your monthly salary is 1,000 points, is that okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Liang Pengfei took the card in his hand. It was silver and very exquisite. He had seen the logo in the middle before. It was the logo that Xie Qin and the others had nailed on the wall. After putting the card away, Liang Pengfei did not go back. He went directly to a house inside and started to pack.

At noon, he went to the cafeteria to get food. This time, he was surprised to find that the air conditioner was on full blast and some people were already eating. Seeing that Dr. Lan was an acquaintance, Liang Pengfei went straight over.

"Doctor Lan? Are you here too?"

"Yeah. After the robbers came last time, I knew I wouldn't live long without Xie Qin's help. After Xiaozhe told me about it, I joined their team. In fact, Xie Qin is even more powerful than we thought." After saying that, Lan Yining pointed to the food in front of him.

The standard three dishes and one soup, the main meat dish is braised pork, the minor meat dish is stir-fried beef, the vegetarian dish is stir-fried water spinach, and there is also a mushroom chicken soup. There is also an orange. It looks like the food in the cafeteria in the past, and the taste is probably average, but the advantage is that it is all fresh. You have to know that at this time, all fresh vegetables and fruits are gone. He didn't know where Xie Qin got these, which indirectly confirmed that Xie Qin was not simple.

The temperature kept rising in the next few days. Xie Qin's family was the only one in the building that had air conditioning on, so it had no effect. A young couple had come to the office for three days in a row. They were separated from the corridor by plastic strips, and they hesitated for a long time, but were finally subdued by the cool air from the air conditioner coming through the gaps in the plastic strips.

The two entered the office, signed an agreement to sell the house, received a resident code, a bag of rice, and a bag of fresh meat. In just ten minutes, Xu Kai, his father, and Miao Zhe moved the solar panels to the couple's home and installed the solar panels on the balcony.

An hour later, the battery had enough power and the central air conditioner in the room started. A cool breeze blew, and I slumped down on the sofa as if I was relieved.

If we say that Liang Pengfei handed over the house before, it can be said that there was some human touch involved. But this young couple handed over the house, there really was no human touch involved. Over the past few days, several families with children came to hand over their houses and change electricity.

As the temperature broke through 50 degrees that day, the water receded and the people upstairs were terrified as they watched corpses crawling up from the ground.

Many people wanted to go out through the safe passage to find food or something that could generate electricity, but the zombies blocked their thoughts. The people in the Dongzhu Building were also frightened by the iron door on the 13th floor.

The iron gate blocked the exit, but the exit was hell. The zombies with green faces and fangs smelled the food and made a "ho ho ho" sound. The people who had been brave enough to go out were frightened and collapsed to the ground. They crawled back home.

The office became busy that afternoon. Even Yang Yuan's wife, who was about to give birth, came to the office to help with the registration. Fortunately, the new couple were also elite white-collar workers. They were smart and learned quickly, and had become the office's right-hand men.

People who joined one after another were assigned tasks, such as helping to distribute food, installing solar panels, and repairing generators. Everyone who joined received their own new identity card, and during the dry season, electricity was available to everyone in the building. A great number of useful jobs were selected.

In addition, these people were all people who had achieved success in various fields before the end of the world. People with brains could do well even if they changed tracks. In just one week, the residents of the entire building surrendered their houses under the double blow of high temperature and zombies, and there were still three days before the supernatural mutation.

The elevators in the building were also restored to service after three days of repairs by a maintenance team led by Xu Kai. An elevator security system was purchased in the system, and residents of the entire building can go to their own floors with their ID cards.

The security of high-end residents' residences is very good. Although the surrounding iron railings are rusty, they are still strong and can easily stop low-level zombies.

Xie Qin led the security team formed by Liang Pengfei, wearing the protective suits specially made by the system to clean up the zombies in the building, and then raised and reinforced the fence. The power grid was connected.

Since then, the building has been completely surrounded except for the entrance and exit.

The moment the base was established, it was upgraded to a level 2 base due to its high security and more than 500 residents. After exchanging the protective shield, Xie Qin directly arranged for everyone to rest at home on the day of the mutation and not to go out.

The temperature was still 50 degrees that day and the sun did not rise as expected. Most people felt something was wrong and were afraid something might happen, so they followed the notice issued by the office and stayed at home.

It was past eight o'clock and the whole city was quiet, except Xie Qin who was still awake. She did not feel groggy like in her previous life, but stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the 88th floor, overlooking the quiet city.
