Surviving the end of the world

It's still raining outside. This year's rainy season lasts abnormally long, and it's almost all rainstorms. It's like a hole in the sky, allowing all the water from the sky to leak down. Obviously, the underground drainage system of N City can't hold it Under the pressure, most of the city is submerged in water.

Chen Jin looked downstairs through the balcony window. Except for some flowers and trees, part of the small garden attached to the first floor could be seen, and the tips of those relatively small flowers and plants could no longer be seen.Fortunately, the first floor here is a garage, otherwise, whoever lives on the first floor is waiting to swim at home!

A few people in raincoats and trousers waded through the waist-high water, and Chen Jin reckoned that the family had run out of food, so he had to go to a nearby supermarket to buy some food. After all, the city is no better than the countryside. I buy vegetables every day, even for rice noodles, I only buy a few catties at a time, and then go to the supermarket or vegetable market to buy them after eating, which is fresh and convenient.Who would have thought that such a thing would happen. In previous years, there would be some water accumulation during the rainy season, but the terrain in the community is relatively high, and the drainage is fast. The most serious time is that the calf is flooded. Who would have thought that this would happen? What about the situation!

The smell of boiled corn came from the kitchen. Chen Jin went into the kitchen, turned off the gas, took out the corn with chopsticks, put them on a plate, and sat down on the sofa with the plate in hand.

The notebook on the coffee table was kept open, and the penguin was still blinking non-stop. Chen Jin opened the company's enterprise group, and there were already many people online. Several colleagues uploaded a large number of photos. Cars, children playing in plastic tubs for bathing, the ground floor of the old city that is almost submerged.

The comments in the group were no longer as relaxed as the previous two days. Everyone was talking about how many people had drowned. A sales colleague was heartbroken there. His newly bought Buick was parked in the open-air parking lot of the community, and the The field is already full of oceans at the moment, and it is estimated that when the water recedes, the car will be bought for nothing, and I don't know if the insurance company will pay for it.

Some colleagues also complained there that there were a lot more mosquitoes in the house, the electric mosquito coils were used up, and they were bitten all over at night, and then there was a lot of echoes.

Chen Jin always likes to be invisible. She always just watches and rarely participates in discussions. Because of the continuous torrential rain, buses and subways have been suspended one after another. When it started to rain, only a few people asked for leave. Afterwards, almost no one could arrive. Boss You can't force others to risk their lives to go to work, so they simply announce a temporary holiday. Of course, the wages for these days of holidays will not be paid as they are.

The scale of the company Chen Jin works for is not large, and it can barely be regarded as a high-tech enterprise. However, a large number of such enterprises are registered every day across the country, and there are also a large number of companies facing bankruptcy and restructuring and being acquired by peers. Chen Jin is a designer , the salary is higher than those clerks, and a little worse than technical sales. Anyway, I just can't starve to death and can't support myself.

It stands to reason that he is also in the third year of life. People in his hometown are about the same age as him, and their children have gone to elementary school. Chen Jin is still a bachelor.Compared with his classmates and colleagues, Chen Jin is surprisingly innocent. He has never been in a relationship so far, and some people offered to introduce him to someone, but he politely refused.

Chen Jin is gay, which he found out after he went to college, but his temperament is conservative on the surface, but he is actually a timid person. He doesn't want others to know, even on the Internet, a lot of people shouted No matter what supports homosexuality, the mainstream of this society is still the matching of men and women.Chen Jin also didn't want to challenge his family's ability to accept, so even if someone asked him if he had a date every time he went home, he had no choice but to perfunctory. That's it, but I can't help but feel a little empty in my heart.

He is now renting a single apartment in this mid-range community, and he has to pay about 1000 yuan for utilities every month. These days, money is becoming less and less valuable, and the increase in wages cannot keep up with the increase in prices, but Chen Jin's The standard of living has been maintained at the same level, and he can still save a sum of money every month, not because of anything else, but because he got a space inexplicably a few years ago.

No one, including Chen Jin's family, knew about it.The relationship between Chen Jin and his family members is not considered close. His mother died of illness when he was in high school, and it was less than three months after her death. His father quickly found him a stepmother and brought a His younger brother, Chen Jin, who was almost ten years younger than him, had always been a silent person, not very good at speaking, and didn't express any opinions on it. How should I live my life? It's just that I spend much less time at home.

However, the so-called crying children have sweets to eat. Since Chen Jin was a child, his father never worried about it. He went to school step by step. , except for regular living expenses, his father didn't need to spend a little thought at all. Soon, his father's attention was attracted by the naughty and cute younger brother who rewarded him for passing the exam and encouraged him for failing the exam. Every time he went home , the father and son are only a little better than strangers, exchange a few words of pleasantries, ask a few questions about life and study difficulties, etc. Chen Jin has passed the age of acting like a baby, and his mouth is also stupid. In the end, neither of them had anything to say.

Chen Jin performed well in the college entrance examination, and was admitted to the Polytechnic University in N City. After the college entrance examination, he found out that the grandfather who was the best to him passed away two months before his college entrance examination. The reason why he didn't tell him was that he was afraid of the impact. What else could Chen Jin say about his college entrance examination, he just went silently to burn a pile of paper money on his grandfather's grave and kowtowed a few times.

During that summer vacation, he accidentally discovered that he had a space.

He has always been a very responsible child, and he has no great ambitions. In high school, many classmates were talking about the legend of Warcraft, all kinds of cutting-edge martial arts novel writers, and the newly emerging fantasy fairy tales. Apart from looking through the serialized martial arts novels in the small bookstore, he hadn't touched anything else, not to mention that at that time, no space literature had become popular, so he was very frightened.

There is nothing unusual about his space, but the land is fairly fertile. About five or six acres of land is crossed by a river that is only two or three meters wide with no end to end, and the periphery is shrouded in thick white mist. , People can't walk through.During the summer vacation when his classmates either got rid of the pressure of the college entrance examination, or had to prepare for re-study because they failed the exam, he was always groping for ways to use the space.

The flow of time in the space is the same as the outside, and you can enter it every time you think about it. There is no sun inside, but it is always daytime, and there are no seasons, but it seems that everything can be planted.

Although Chen Jin was born in a rural area, most of the children in that era were only children, and life in the rural areas was easy. Children from ordinary families were raised up spoiled and spoiled. For farm work and the like, at most, just look at it. , Few people have tried it.However, Chen Jin still used her pocket money to buy some vegetable and food seeds from the seed station in the town, and planted them in the space one after another.It was a mess at the beginning, and it was hard for him to ask people, so he had to try his best to remember how his mother took care of it when he was at home. Slowly, although it was a bit clumsy, he finally got started.

When she was in college, she had more time, and Chen Jin started to save money to add some other varieties to the space. Later, she bought some chickens, ducks, geese, and a pair of goats, and marked out a piece of land in the space. , surrounded them with bamboo poles, and raised them inside. Although a few died due to improper care, the rest survived safely, and now they have begun to reproduce from generation to generation.

In the four years of Chen Jin's university, he seldom returned home. Most of the time he stayed in N City to do some part-time jobs as students. Although it was hard work, he made a lot of money. Monthly living expenses will still be paid to his bank card on time, and Chen Jin spends very economically, plus he can get some scholarships, so Chen Jin can enrich the species in the space with money.

By the time Chen Jin graduated from university, the space had been expanded by half, with about an acre and a half planted with various vegetables and more fruit trees.In addition, he also planted some peanuts, corn, soybeans, black beans, mung beans, and so on. The quantity was not much, and it was enough for him to eat.There are some common fish and shrimps in the river, and even some crabs. He has no way to buy fish fry, so he usually chooses those with roe in the vegetable market, and puts them alive in the river. There are no natural enemies here, and the food is also abundant. Gradually it increased.

Later, news about poisoned rice and milk powder abounded in the news. All in all, it seemed that nothing was safe anymore. Chen Jin hesitated for a long time before planting some wheat and rice in the space, because it was not easy for him to deal with it. After a lot of effort, I bought a second-hand small threshing machine and a small mill. After I bought it, I realized that it needs electricity, so I had to buy another diesel generator.

Chen Jin is a very vulgar person in essence. The things in the space are mostly common food, and there are no ornamental flowers and plants. Taking care of those vegetables, fruit trees and food crops has almost occupied most of his free time. Most of the flowers and plants are very delicate, how can he have so much time to toss about.

After space texts became popular on the Internet, Chen Jin was just dumbfounded looking at those almost omnipotent spaces.Being able to get a space is already a great blessing. If you want a space to prolong your life, beautify your face, and even satisfy all your needs with your thoughts, then you are too greedy.Chen Jin is still concentrating on taking care of his small space that is still expanding slowly, buying various things in it piecemeal that he thinks he can use, and adding some species that did not exist before to the space. Several prefabricated houses have been built in succession. Although they are not big, they are fully functional after some arrangement.
