Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 425 Daily Wasteland Collection (53)

'It's a shame that we can't do that. What a shame.'

Shen Yao carefully took the remaining energy stones, placed them in the wooden box in front of her used to store valuables, locked them up and threw them into the space.

Even though both of them can use the space, Shen Yao can restrict Cheng Qi with just a thought, while she herself can move freely.

This is also to prepare for future situations. No one can guarantee that it will always be consistent. What you finally hold in your hands is the real thing.

Cheng Qi didn't know that when he was pondering the three energy stones, Shen Yao had already thought of how to take the initiative when they had a disagreement or other conflicts.

Looking at the energy stone lying flat on the palm of his hand, Cheng Qi planned to give one of the two he had kept for observation to Manman.

Full?

"Manman is too young and her body hasn't grown yet. Will using the energy stone put a burden on her body?"

Shen Yao had thought about this method before, but finally gave up because of her age.

Cheng Qi signaled to Shen Yao not to be too nervous, as Manman's genes had not yet awakened, so there was no need for her to absorb the energy stone close to her body to strengthen her genes like he did.

"We can crush the energy stone, or simply scrape some energy stone powder each time we use it." In this way, the energy in the energy stone can be dispersed to the greatest extent, making it easier for the human body to absorb.

Not only Manman can use it, but Shen Yao can also use it. Taking a small amount of energy stone each time will not cause irreversible consequences to the body.

Just like the various medicines launched by the base, those that can be sold at a high price are more or less mixed with some energy stone powder. Ordinary people still flock to them and buy them crazily when they get the chance.

Now they choose to add it manually, which is no different from what the base does.

If I have to say something, it's probably that they can't control the amount of energy stones used. At worst, they can use less and nothing will go wrong.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao was persuaded by Cheng Qi's words, and the two energy stones that were supposed to be sold at a price ended up with only one left.

Cheng Qi wrapped the stone with special material and put it in his pocket. He smiled and said that with the coming mild season, the demand for energy stones would increase, and he would definitely find a good buyer and sell it at a high price.

…………

On the 40th day of the hot rainy season, the family of three stayed in the living room to exercise after breakfast.

Cheng Qi's physical functions have improved a little bit, and the results of absorbing the energy stone are visible to the naked eye. Shen Yao and Manman eat added food every day, and the related benefits are also reflected in their bodies.

He clenched his chubby little fists, humming and laughing, and tried his best to punch as hard as possible.

Cheng Qi stood by and gave instructions on the power and speed of Manman's punches from time to time. Sometimes he would even act as a sparring partner, and it seemed that he wanted to train his daughter to become a master.

"After this year, she will go to school during the second mild season next year. By then, the two of us will be busy with gathering and won't have enough time to take care of her."

What else can I do if I don’t rely on myself? As someone who has been to school, Cheng Qi doesn’t have a very good memory of that time. Schools that are supposed to be places for teaching and educating people have become cold and cruel because of the overall environmental problems.

Cheng Qi still remembers his classmates, many of whom died in their teenage years because the field training held by the school every year was a high-incidence point of death.

What can we do? If schools don't teach these skills and just keep them like sheep, will the outcome be good? It will happen sooner or later.

Shen Yao sighed when he heard that. Manman, who was standing beside him, opened his big round eyes and tried to clench his fists to attack. He raised his arms and put them down again and again without complaining or feeling tired.

"Full care, yourself, rest assured."

After practicing for the last time, Manman patted her chest with a determined look on her face. She was the smartest and most capable child. She would not make her parents worry and she could do better.

On the 45th day of the hot rainy season, the rain, which had been gradually calming down, became heavier again.

It was as if there was a hole in the sky, and the heavy rain seemed to be the end of the world.

Dididi

The watch received a notification message from the base regarding the sudden increase in rain. Due to the increased mutation value contained in it, physical contact is not recommended.

Shen Yao drew the curtains, and the light in the room instantly dimmed.

The light above their heads came on, and the bright light attracted the eager gazes of Cheng Qi and Manman, father and daughter.

"Don't want to continue practicing?"

Shen Yao teased her daughter who was lying on the sofa with her legs spread out. The little girl had just taken a shower, her hair was clean, and she still smelled of shower gel.

She pursed her lips and buried herself inside the sofa, leaving only half of her body exposed.

Cheng Qi handed the adjusted bow and arrow to Shen Yao. He had just tested it and found that the strength and weight were just right.

It is the 50th day of the hot rainy season and the rain outside shows no signs of slowing down, but the aftereffects of too much rainfall have already appeared around the base.

Most of the slums had already been flooded, and many people reported the situation with their families and had to live in public places provided by the base.

There are signs of the disease spreading to other areas as well, with many people discussing it in daily forums. Many people are worried about accidents at their homes, which will be an additional expense once the hot and rainy season is over.

The inner area where Shen Yao is located is currently in good condition. Only the low-lying area outside the door will seep water, while other places are relatively dry and tidy.

On the 55th day of the hot rainy season, people from other districts who could not bear it any longer also chose to apply for assistance. Although the number of people was small, once this started, it could not be stopped.

The inner area where Shen Yao lives still has the problem of water seepage in low-lying areas, and some people's roofs that have not been repaired are also damaged.

On the 60th day of the hot rainy season, the slums could be said to have been completely wiped out, and the number of applicants in the outer areas also increased exponentially as the rain outside continued to fall.

The inner area began to feel anxious. After all, they could ignore the slums, but the outer and inner areas all lived inside the base, so how could they not give them more consideration?

Once there are too many people living in public places in the outer districts, will they have room if something happens in the inner districts?

Arguments break out on the forum, and a small matter can lead to new conflicts.

Shen Yao always remained calm and objective while observing these chaos. Now that the hot rainy season was only two-thirds over, no one knew what the situation would be like in the next month.

On the 66th day of the hot rainy season, the rain outside gradually weakened, and the base even fired several rain-scattering bombs to break up the thick clouds gathered above the base.

However, this approach is only a temporary solution and does not address the root cause. The hot rainy season has not yet passed and the rain will continue to fall. With so many people living inside and outside the base, a series of problems will arise if we are not careful.

There was also a leak in Shen Yao's house, right at the place where the roof had been repaired.

Fortunately, they had already put the valuables into the space, so the rest could be left alone.

On the 70th day of the hot rainy season, the base once again fired several rain-scattering bombs into the sky to disperse the gathered clouds, thereby reducing the amount of rainfall falling inside the base.

Of course there is an effect, but overall it is not very useful.

To nature, human resistance is like tickling and has no effect at all.

The rain in the hot rainy season will continue to fall, and the temperature outside will continue to rise.

What the base does well is that it takes care of ordinary people in slums and outer areas. Although friction is inevitable when living in public housing, major problems will not occur, and everyone's safety and basic daily life can be guaranteed.

"But if the rain continues like this, the base won't be able to hold out for a few rounds even if it has enough HP."

The decline of the Dawn Base was due to the fact that its own strength could not keep up with the pace of development, and there was a group of ordinary people who were a drag on it. In the end, the Dawn Base lost its credibility. Those who had connections chose to flee, and those who didn't choose to make trouble. The originally orderly base went out of control in an instant, and its rise and fall happened in a moment.

Base No. 25 will definitely not reach the same desperate situation as Dawn Base in a short period of time, but if the external environment continues to be harsh and far exceeds the limits of what humans can bear, Base No. 25 will eventually follow the same fate as Dawn Base.

This period of time may be ten, twenty, or even fifty years.

"It depends on what the top brass at the base thinks. When necessary, some people have to be sacrificed." This is not cold-blooded, nor does it mean that they do not take human life seriously.

On the contrary, the decision made by the base is that it wants to ensure stability for the majority of people, which is definitely cruel to some people.

Cheng Qi lowered his head, pulled Shen Yao over and sat down, "What we can do is not to let ourselves become the part that is sacrificed."

It is very sad but it is also an indisputable fact that the power of an individual is too small to save the world. We can only save ourselves.

…………

On the 75th day of the hot rainy season, the rain came like a beast that had temporarily retreated to gather strength, and swept in with an even more powerful attack than before.

Shen Yao once again stood by the window, looking at the dark sky outside, thinking that the base had fired rain bombs again, but unfortunately they no longer worked.

The watch forum has been buzzing with people discussing when the rain will stop. Although the hot rainy season has not yet ended, according to the current situation, it is an indisputable fact that the hot rainy season will be delayed.

Cheng Qi had just come down from the third floor, holding the remaining rainproof cloth, wooden boards and other tools.

Manman was sitting on the small sofa eating the fruit that Shen Yao had just washed. The little child was carefree, and his biggest worry was probably the afternoon training.

"Don't go to the third floor recently. It's leaking badly and needs to be repaired later."

The tools they currently have are totally insufficient.

Cheng Qi raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his temples. He planned to find time to pad the front door of the yard. Compared with the leaking roof of his house, the small puddle at the door was more troublesome.

Shen Yao pointed at the pieces of rainproof cloth she had placed outside the window for experimentation in the morning and said, "They can't withstand the mutation value in the rain. Let's wait until the rain stops."

These palm-sized pieces of rainproof cloth were scraps cut from protective clothing, but in less than half a day, they were already damaged beyond recognition.

Shen Yao asked Cheng Qi to deliver the things to the studio first, and then she returned to sit on the sofa.

"mother"

She came over with a look of joy on her face, with a few drops of fruit pulp left at the corners of her mouth.

"Mom, when are we going to go out, like we did last time."

She also caught a lot of 'rabbits'. Although her mother explained that they were voles, not rabbits, she still wanted to catch them.

Shen Yao lowered her head and touched her full little head, "We have to wait a little longer."

"Wait, when?" Full of curiosity.

Shen Yao smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Mom doesn't know, maybe ten days, or maybe dozens of days."

Hugging Manman in his arms and rocking her, Shen Yao turned her head to look at Cheng Qi. Both the husband and wife felt depressed.

Yeah, when will the hot and rainy season end?

Not only are they looking forward to it, many people are looking forward to it, including the base.

On the 82nd day of the hot rainy season, the rain slowed down, but there was no sign of stopping.

The base seemed to have given up on the postponement of the hot and rainy season. Not only did it send notification information in advance through watches, but it also gradually brought some people from the slums and outer areas into public housing. Those who can now live in public housing are basically residents of the inner areas.

The residents of the inner districts have inherent advantages, including a superior underground drainage system (which is already showing signs of flooding), houses that are at least two stories high (if one floor leaks, there is still one floor left), and enough food and supplies for the entire hot and rainy season (even if it is humid, there are dryers, as well as daily appliances and other tools).

As soon as Shen Yao brought out the fried dried fruits and placed them on the coffee table, the family of three each grabbed a handful to pass the time.

The watch made a beeping sound. Shen Yao clicked it and saw that there were too many posts on the forum. In order to ensure the normal operation of the watch, they needed to be deleted and blocked.

Shen Yao:......

How much free time do you have to have to open your eyes every day just to post and discuss?

Shen Yao tapped the watch screen quickly with her fingers, and soon stopped, continuing to watch with relish as everyone expressed their opinions and debated in the forum.

On the 85th day of the hot rainy season, the rain was as heavy as ever. Shen Yao and his family of three continued to live their daily lives, except for occasionally spending some time on the watch forum.

After the outbreak period, people on the forum began to calm down slowly, and the most discussed topic every day was when the hot and rainy season would end.

Shen Yao basically did not participate in these contents. She just kept an eye on the rumors and gossip about the base, and after confirming that there was no important information, she would focus on the present life.

It is the 90th day of the hot rainy season. The rain was supposed to end today, but it has not stopped. It is really despairing.

There are voices of giving up hope on the forum, and even verbal disputes are increasing.

Shen Yao put down her wrist, grabbed the pillow beside her, and rubbed it in her arms.

Cheng Qi noticed her situation and said affirmatively, "The troubles on the forum."

Shen Yao hummed, "The aggravation of the conflict depends on the control level of the base."

Take the comments on the forum for example. Daily complaints are just trivial, but some people really pretend to be ignorant and deliberately exaggerate the problem.

People are prone to feeling dizzy and confused in an uneasy environment. If they believe what these people say, they may be sacrificing their lives without even realizing it.

Shen Yao has been visiting forums less and less recently because she discovered that a not-so-small force was trying hard to incite something.

"I believe the base will come up with a countermeasure," Cheng Qi said with a smile, proposing another theory, "Only when this kind of conflict intensifies will some people who like to hide their heads and show their tails be willing to show up. While they are provoking confrontation between the two sides, they are also completely exposing themselves to the base."

The big fish that were usually hard to catch are now all out of the water, waiting to be netted. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the base.
