Calamity Day [Apocalypse]

early spring.

The weather is getting warmer and the creatures are recovering.The smoke of gunpowder has dissipated, and mud houses and wooden houses have been built on the edge of the city. People in the once ruined city have been re-inhabited and revived again.

Three years ago, the disaster ended. Human beings marched forward on the blood of their companions, and finally won the final victory.

To rebuild the order, the first thing humans have to face is how to rebuild their homes, and then there is the major issue of how to get along with the supernatural beings and ordinary people—maybe there is a long way to go, but at least for now, people cherish the peace after the troubled times, So very peaceful and harmonious.

In an ordinary residential building in the new district of the city, Zhou Rui and others sat around a pot with a steaming hot pot in the middle.

The chili is tumbling at the bottom of the pot, and the tender and smooth mutton is scalded with red oil, and the spicy taste mixed with the pure fragrance of mutton is tangy.

Zhou Rui took a bite and almost burst into tears: "I haven't tasted this taste for so many years..."

The others ignored him, they were burying their heads in hard work, wishing they could bury themselves in the bottom of the bowl.

Supplies are scarce after the end of the world, and they waited for three years before they had the chance to eat this hot pot.

Su Shaoshui scooped a piece of tender fish in the pot, picked it up and ate it quickly, and because he was in a hurry to grab the beef with Chu Yue, he almost didn't choke on the spicy oil.

Chu Yue wordlessly let go of his chopsticks to pick up the lettuce next to him. Su Shaoshui snatched the beef as he wished, and quickly took a sip of water to wash off the spiciness.

Chu Yao put the beef louver into the pot and served a pot of fragrant chicken soup.Several other people stopped their chopsticks to fill up the chicken soup, took a sip, and let out a long breath.

The fresh white squid must be tossed in the spicy oil, Xie Duyuan, who didn't drink the chicken soup, scooped it all up into his bowl.

"!"

Chu Yue said angrily, "Scheming!"

Xie Duyuan picked up a chicken leg for her.

The beef was cooked, and everyone else went to grab it. Zhou Rui managed to survive in the cracks and scooped up a bowl of mutton.

He glanced out inadvertently while sucking his chopsticks, his pupils shrank suddenly.

On the street, a black-haired young man in a light-colored windbreaker walked forward unhurriedly, with a slender figure, which coincided with a person in his memory.

"elder brother!"

——At that moment, Zhou Rui seemed to have returned to the beginning of the end of the world many years ago. He was walking alone on the endless road, and an off-road vehicle drove by. The black-haired young man in the driver's seat looked at him with a half-smile, and said He said "get in the car".

The man on the street didn't look back. He was carrying a bag with vegetables and meat in it. He should have just bought dinner from the supermarket.

Zhou Rui was startled: "Ye Mu?"

Several other people left the hot pot and stood at the window looking down.

Xie Duyuan said: "Captain!"

There was no response, Ye Mu seemed to be unable to hear other voices, and only focused on walking the road ahead.

He didn't look back, and the solitary figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the street.

"..."

After the end of the world, some people fell down and some people stood up again.Ye Mu was the one who stood up, while the other one had been down for three years.

Su Shaoshui sighed in his eyes: "He still hasn't come out."

Zhou Rui lowered his head and said, "Last time I went to see my brother...Ye Mu stood there alone and blocked me."

"... eat vegetables, eat vegetables,"

Xie Duyuan was the first to return to the hot pot, picked up a chopstick of Flammulina velutipes, "It's not that there is no hope, time is still long, the end of the world is over, it will always be better."

Chu Yao said: "Speaking of the end, do any of you remember how the end of the world ended?"

"……Can not remember."

"Looks like a fight..."

"I just remember that I was almost dead at that time, and I was in a trance. Once I regained my senses, the zombies were gone."

"Me too……"

Zhou Rui said: "Maybe it was my brother who killed the zombie king during the melee."

"Where is the zombie king...but I also think it is Mr. Ye."

"I think there is also the captain's credit."

A group of people sat around the hot pot again, and the hot air curled up and climbed high into the sky.

-

Ye family.

"I am back."

Ye Mu stood in the entrance, first put a bag of vegetables into the kitchen, and then came back to change his shoes.

After changing his shoes, he took off his windbreaker and hung it on the hanger in the entrance, and walked straight to the second floor.

There was a room door ajar on one side of the corridor, Ye Mu pushed the door open, first opened the curtains to let the outside light shine in, then went to the bathroom to fetch a pot of hot water, and came to the bed.

He half-knelt on the edge of the bed, gently raised a slender and pale hand: "Brother."

"..."

The black-haired man lay quietly on the bed, his slightly long hair was scattered on the side of the pillow, and a small deep shadow was cast on his eyelashes.I don't want to do this either, then I

Ye Mu lowered his head, lightly touched the bloodless lips, wrung out the wet towel, and began to wipe Ye Yiqian's face.

His movements are delicate and gentle, he should have done it many times, and he is quite proficient.

"I came back a little late today."

While wringing out the towel again, Ye Mu said, "I want to make soup, but I don't know what kind of soup to make. Do you like pork belly stewed chicken soup?"

"..."

"Spring is here again. There should be flower sellers on the street. Then you can buy them and put them next to your bed. My brother probably won't be so bored."

"..."

"Tomorrow seems to be cooling down. I'll change to a thicker quilt later, so my brother won't catch a cold."

Ye Mu said, "Okay, big brother will accompany me to make dinner."

He packed up the towels and basin, bent down to pick up Ye Yiqian, and led him downstairs.

The sofa in the living room was covered with blankets and soft cushions. Ye Mu carefully placed the person on it, and then pulled the blanket to cover him.

He turned back and went to the kitchen, where he washed vegetables, cut meat, and mixed sauces, skillfully. He looked up at the living room from time to time, as if he really wanted to get a compliment from the people in the living room.

An hour later, the dinner was served on the table. There was only a simple soup and porridge, but it was fragrant and exquisite.

"Is brother hungry? It's time to eat."

Ye Mu carried him to the dining table, filled a bowl of soup, took a sip and tasted it, and then fed it to Ye Yiqian.

The meal was meticulous and long, and when it was completely dark outside the window, Ye Mu washed the dishes and chopsticks, turned off the light in the living room, and brought Ye Yiqian back upstairs.

Give my brother a bath, put on clean clothes, put the old clothes in the washing machine to be washed the next day, mop the floor, clean up the house - after doing all this, Ye Mu breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly washed off the sweat on his body, and put on his clothes. He ran to the bed covered in mist.

He turned on the bed, took the people around him into his arms and kissed them, and told him about the little things he encountered today.

"The mall reopened, the toy store is still there, it's just temporarily closed, and it may reopen later."

"I met a pair of brothers who were a few years old on the street today. The younger brother clings to the older brother, very cute."

He paused briefly, and suddenly said, "Brother, when will you wake up?"

"..."

His response was the usual silence.

Ye Mu took a deep breath, sat up from the bed, raised his head, and did not blink his eyes.

He just sat there quietly for a while, then lay back down in silence.

"Brother, why not me."

"Brother, can you see me again?"

"Brother, you haven't called me for a long time. I want to hear you call my name."

"elder brother……"

The black-haired young man buried his face in the neck of the person beside him, murmuring in a low voice, like a helpless and bewildered child, instinctively seeking warmth.

Suddenly, a soft voice fell.

"Ye Mu."

"..."

Ye Mu's body froze, and he raised his head abruptly.

The faint light fell on Ye Yiqian's pale side face, giving him a trancelike illusion.

As if in a floating dream, he heard a voice in his ear saying something over and over again, the voice gradually became clearer, and finally froze into two words.

"elder brother."

Ye Yiqian opened his eyes, escaped from the long darkness, and saw the light.
