Ding Shenghui learned his lesson, never imitated the indecision of the upper class, and strictly followed Xia Yan's orders.The effect was dramatic, as students and adults returned to work, immediately reducing the enormous pressure on the city.

After all, people have to eat, and it's about survival. Most timid people return to their true jobs.The remaining ones who wanted to make trouble were taken away by the office in cooperation with the police department, and those who deserved education were educated and those who deserved to be detained.

A week after the high-level move to the south, except for occasional minor disturbances caused by people with supernatural powers, order has basically been restored in the capital.It can't reach the level before the end of the world, but it is enough to satisfy the people who have been frightened.

Ding Shenghui reported every day, sometimes by himself, sometimes with his subordinates.The atmosphere was good on this day. On the way to Xia Yan’s residence, my subordinates were still in the mood to joke, asking whether the living room where they met in the future would become a famous scene, be remembered and praised by history, and become a classic painting in the future...

When they got outside Xia Yan's door, they became serious.After being allowed to enter, Ding Shenghui was surprised to find that Chong Tianyu was also there. This was the first time he saw him here in so many days.

Seeing them, Chong Tianyu stopped talking, Xia Yan glanced at him, and said without emotion: "Continue."

Chong Tianyu had no choice but to continue to reflect in front of everyone, and said angrily: "This is all my fault...it was my carelessness that caused this result."

Ding Shenghui looked at him strangely: "What's going on?"

Chong Tianyu lowered his head in frustration, and said: "Those politicians are too cunning. They didn't build the shelter at the location you planned, but occupied our leader's territory!"

Ding Shenghui was taken aback.

He had a bad last time with the former big boss. He was already a sure-fire traitor, and his old friends from the past stopped dealing with him. Without connections, he couldn't find out the news there.So, I didn't know until today!

The subordinate Zuo couldn't believe it: "This? Could it be that the schedule we saw before was all forged by them?"

Ding Shenghui said with a bad face: "The schedule should be real, it's just that the name of the place has been changed."

The location of the shelter was determined after repeated investigation and analysis by dozens of experts, including climate, land, agriculture and other scholars.The temperature and humidity are kept in a livable and suitable range for the growth of crops all year round.There is no sinister place around, and there are no unmanageable primate paranormal creatures.The transportation is convenient, and there is a small airport.

Everything that can be considered, they have considered.He couldn't figure out why the top management would abandon such an address and insist on building a shelter in Xia Yan's hometown.

Chong Tianyu fell into self-blame and didn't speak. Others couldn't figure it out, and only Xia Yan could guess something.He once built a shelter here and successfully protected human survivors from living in the last days.Not only is there a precedent to follow, it will be a good sign.

Chong Tianyu was so remorseful that he wanted to kill himself, "I let them know too much, and lost the foundation of the leader."

Xia Yan chuckled, "You are wrong." Chong Tianyu raised his head in doubt, and everyone looked at him.The smile faded, and Xia Yan said proudly: "That city can become a sanctuary, not because of the unique conditions, but because of me."

Chong Tianyu felt relieved at the words, and asked, "Boss, without the original city, where should we go to build a base?"

Xia Yan asked back: "Why do you want to build a base elsewhere?"

Chong Tianyu was tongue-tied and said, "Are we going to stay in the capital?"

Xia Yan was noncommittal: "Why not?"

"But..." It was so unexpected that Chong Tianyu couldn't think of any reason to object.

Ding Shenghui said euphemistically: "Cities in the north are no better than those in the south. It is too laborious to maintain normal operation in winter. In addition, we are eating reserve grain now, and there will not be enough rations until next year. The climate in the north is destined to have a short time for farming. The food harvested may not be enough to feed so many people."

The reason why everyone is rushing to go to the south is because it can be cultivated twice a year.

Xia Yan said indifferently: "The problem you are worried about will not arise. At this time next year, the population will be greatly reduced, only less than one percent of the current level. Not to mention the cultivation of new grain, only the old grain left is enough Eat for two or three years. Two or three years is enough for them to learn to survive in the last days."

Life must be able to survive, but the quality is not as good as it is now.

Ding Shenghui opened his mouth, and gave up speaking dejectedly.That's right, he was worrying completely unfoundedly, and he didn't know if he could live to that time.

There is only one voice in the entire capital, and all actions and plans are under the control of the office.The stumbling volunteer structure has been honed for a few days, and it is running efficiently like a jerky machine injected with lubricating oil.

He successfully completed the task of the day, and when he came home from get off work, he recalled what happened during the day, feeling a sense of depression in his heart.Ding Shenghui never reported good news but not bad news at home. He didn't want to bring the worries of work to the family.

His wife is his college classmate, beautiful and gentle, delicate and sensitive.Ding Shenghui didn't want her to be overly melancholy, he could only be bored with many troubles, and whenever this happened, he would find a place to drink to relieve his worries.

After dinner, he excused himself to work overtime and returned to the main building.I ordered a bottle of Lao Baigan and some peanuts from the cafeteria, and planned to go to the office.On the way, I met Xia Yan who came to look for him because Bai Mengchen forgot the time again.

He raised the wine and peanuts in his hands, and said in a strange way: "Let's have a drink together?"

Xia Yan glanced at him lightly, Ding Shenghui shrank his neck, thinking that he would refuse, but unexpectedly Xia Yan came over.He lazily put one hand in his pocket and said, "Okay."

So shocked that Ding Shenghui didn't even know how he got back to the office.The two sat on the sofa in the corner, and Xia Yan looked at him expressionlessly: "Just blow it? One bottle is not enough."

Ding Shenghui was sweating profusely, and hurriedly took two teacups from under the small coffee table next to him: "I can't drink, drink from cups!"

I don't know where Xia Yan's leisurely mood came from today, the two chatted ramblingly, and Ding Shenghui felt a little drunk after half a bottle.He usually only drinks this much, and he doesn't get drunk so quickly, mainly because he drank in a hurry today.

Xia Yan's face flushed slightly, but he was still awake. He looked at the time on his phone and felt that it was almost time for Bai Mengchen's side.He glanced at the drunk Ding Shenghui, not sure whether to leave him here or call someone to take him home.

But I really didn't see that Ding Shenghui's wine quality is not good enough, he is usually cautious in his words and deeds, but now he talks like a chatterbox.

All kinds of emotions are magnified when drinking, and they even use alcohol to pretend to be crazy and vent their inner emotions.Ding Shenghui patted his chest, stared at some unfocused eyes, and said accusingly: "Tell me! Am I a good official? How incompetent on weekdays?! Why did fate treat me like this——"

At the beginning, Xia Yan thought he was complaining about his former big boss, but the more he heard it, the more wrong he became.

He burst into tears: "You can keep calm and calm all the time because you are sitting on the Diaoyutai! You are not afraid! What about us? We are in danger, who knows when we will die! You are too cold - you can't use your standards to demand us , This is demanding! Excessively demanding! We are all going to die——before we die, we have to make proper arrangements for those who continue to live, so pitiful, so unfair..."

His head sank, he plunged his head into his arms, and lay down on the coffee table in front of him.Ding Shenghui woke up a little frightened after shouting his heart out with the help of wine.He didn't dare to look at Xia Yan's face, so he pretended to be asleep.

Xia Yan didn't move for a while, just like being interrogated and waiting for the verdict, Ding Shenghui couldn't help but secretly raised his head.Just one glance knocked him out of his wits, and Xia Yan was taking pictures of him with a mobile phone for an unknown amount of time.

He opened his mouth wide and was dumbfounded for a moment, then swallowed dryly, "...how long have you been recording?"

Xia Yan looked at his bewildered look with satisfaction, and turned off the camera, "It's time to record everything."

Ding Shenghui's heart was instantly ashamed.

Xia Yan put the phone in his pocket and said coldly: "Have you endured for a long time? Afraid of death? Feeling pitiful and unfair?"

Ding Shenghui's face turned red. His face was already red after drinking, but now it was so red that it was about to bleed.

Seeing his embarrassment, Xia Yan's tone softened a bit: "...you don't have to think that you are special, people who died in the last days think so."

Ding Shenghui broke down: "You are not consoling at all!" After a while, the shame of wanting to die on the spot subsided a bit, and Ding Shenghui implored cheekily: "Can you just pretend that what happened today never happened?" Crazy for a while, crematorium after waking up!

Xia Yan sneered, hugged his chest and said, "What do you think?" Why should he be complained for nothing?

Ding Shenghui clutched his chest, feeling like he was going to have a heart attack, "...Sometimes, your indifference and ruthlessness make me feel that you have no humanity at all." Anyway, he left something behind, so he didn't dare to say anything.

"Indifference? Human nature..." Xia Yan repeated inexplicably, revealing a complex and incomprehensible expression.

Ding Shenghui had seen this expression before.At that time, he didn't understand, and today, with Xia Yan's desolate tone, he finally discerned that it was the emptiness of seeing through everything and completely despairing of the world.

Ding Shenghui was startled, but he didn't dare to say anything to Xia Yan like this.

Xia Yan turned his head sideways, stared at a point in the void, and said slowly: "If the future you have ever seen has no hope at all, and all human beings will be destroyed, what humanity will you have left?"

For a long time, Ding Shenghui couldn't understand what he meant.

Xia Yan sneered, as if he found his reaction amusing, "Yeah, you can't imagine it." He stood up and looked down at Ding Shenghui, "You can't imagine it! The future you are looking forward to is simply impossible to exist! "

"Do you think that what you know is the real ending? What kind of shelter in the last days only exists for a few decades!"

Xia Yan shook his head, and said with a half-smile: "Virus infection not only produces mutated cells and mutated organs! It will completely change human nature, make people forget morality and abandon conscience, and become beasts with no bottom line. They only know violence and Bloodthirsty, more and more crazy, and finally destroyed everything. The shelter is not a utopia, nor is it a safe haven, it is just a castle in the air!"
