Chen Feng didn't want to worry too much about the lives of those who stayed behind.
There are no children among the survivors, they are all adults, and adults have the obligation and responsibility to be responsible for their own decisions.
For Chen Feng, the most important thing now is how to get back.
This place is some distance away from order, and it is unrealistic to complete the travel in one go. We can only rely on Saruman to slowly make space jumps. It is expected that after a dozen times, we will be able to return to order.
It just so happened that Chen Feng obtained two divinities from Bahamut. Although the journey was a bit boring, by using this time to absorb all of these divinities, he could also improve his strength to a higher level.
After that, Chen Feng had to go into the abyss to continue exploring. After all, Rose had given him a hint that if he wanted to gain power, the abyss was his only hope.
… … … … …
order.
Inside an ordinary room.
The baby was lying on the bed, having fallen asleep. Although he was only six months old, which was the age when he was naughty, perhaps children at the end of their lives were more sensible and knew that their parents had a hard time. The little guy did not make a noise, but lay on the bed, falling into a deep sleep quietly.
While he was sleeping, he grinned and laughed loudly, as if he was dreaming about something.
There was a sound of frying coming from the kitchen. It was a woman in her early twenties, dressed simply and without any expensive makeup on her face.
In peacetime, girls of this age are pursuing beauty. After working all day, they gather a few friends and go to some noisy places to relax.
But in this wasteland of the apocalypse, the girl did not choose to do so. Instead, she got married early like a housewife and gave birth to a child.
Shiyi never thought that her life would be like this.
She has a nice name and a good family. Her parents are both businessmen, which means that she has been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child and has never suffered any grievances.
At such a young age, when many people have not even traveled out of the province, she has already visited several countries. Her small wallet may be worth as much as the total weight of all her classmates' backpacks.
This is a girl that is beyond the reach of her peers.
The other party's wealthy life destined her future to be extraordinary, and this was indeed the case. If it were according to her parents' plan, the girl would go abroad to study after graduating from university.
One year's tuition plus living expenses can cost up to hundreds of thousands. For an ordinary family, it may not be possible to save up hundreds of thousands in a year, or even in a lifetime.
Fortunately, the girl worked hard and did not lose herself because of her family's wealth. Unlike other rich second-generations who pursued enjoyment, she was extremely eager for knowledge and studied hard. After three years of preparation, she was finally admitted to the world's top university.
And that was less than a week away from the end of the world.
When the girl received the notice, she was extremely happy, and her family members also looked relieved. The parents' investment was not in vain. Shiyi was indeed very hardworking and was admitted to the school that countless people were looking forward to.
The notice came soon.
Shiyi still remembers that her parents promised her that as a reward for passing the exam, they would take her to some luxury stores for shopping. She was full of expectations, but on the next day, just when the family of three was about to go out, the disaster came quietly.
At that time, Shiyi was packing up at home, and her parents came downstairs early. Shiyi heard the sound of the car starting, she put on her shoes and hummed some happy tune.
But when she was looking out from the upstairs, she saw a scene that she would never forget: her parents' car was surrounded by countless monsters.
Those monsters looked like bats, but they were many times bigger than ordinary bats. Their huge bodies wrapped the car layer by layer. Dad tried to fight back and started the car to reload those monsters, but it was of no avail.
Those monsters had amazing agility. Even though Dad made some moves, in the end, he didn't kill a single monster.
The monsters were crushed and seemed extremely angry. They began to use their teeth to break through the car door, and then took out the mother who was sitting in the passenger seat.
Shiyi looked completely frightened at that time. She stood aside and watched everything happen. She tried to scream, but found that her vocal cords seemed to be broken and she couldn't even make a sound.
That extremely dignified strong woman who had been treating him like a friend since childhood didn't even last ten seconds before she was torn into pieces by those monsters.
And this is just the beginning.
When Dad saw this, he roared like a wild beast. At that moment, Shiyi woke up. She kept calling Dad's name. But the monsters were outside. How could a father with flesh and blood be a match for those monsters
Soon, just like Mom, Dad was also pulled out of the car by the monster.
The monsters seemed to have some intelligence. They discovered Shiyi and then flew to bring her father to her.
At that time, the father's body had been scratched and some of his internal organs had even flowed out. Seeing his daughter so close, the father only said one sentence: "Live well."
The next second, the mischievous monsters dismembered Dad.
The glass was broken and countless monsters rushed in. They tried to capture Shiyi and make her their victim. Fortunately, Shiyi had a secret base of her own. She hid in it and survived for three days on only a little water and biscuits.
Until now, she doesn't dare to recall what happened in those three days.
Helplessness, despair and loneliness wrapped around her body like a nightmare. She was like a helpless lamb, bearing all the terrible things alone.
Three days passed in an incredibly long time.
After that, she walked out with her hair disheveled.
The originally warm home was completely destroyed. Dad's favorite valuable furniture was torn to pieces, and Mom's favorite silk fell to the ground, covered with filthy feces and blood.
Shiyi walked to the window and looked outside. She saw terrible monsters and zombies everywhere around her.
The civilization of the past was like a dream. After Shiyi woke up, it completely disappeared from her life.
Since then, Shiyi was in a daze for a while, and she even became a delusional patient. She imagined that all this was just a dream, and her parents were still alive. If she waited until her illness was slightly relieved, her family would be brought back to her side. She would not be alone like now, without any family at all.
But in fact, everything she was thinking about now was real delusion. Her life was ruined, her family was ruined, her parents were gone. As for her dream of studying abroad, it had become like a flower in the mirror or a moon in the water, something that was impossible to achieve.
Everything has gone away from her.
She lives in the end of the world, all by herself.
Shiyi didn’t even know how she survived. She just wandered around every corner in a daze. She was no longer a rich lady, but a human-shaped cockroach.
She didn't dare to appear in the sun, but just wandered around aimlessly, eating moldy things, even tree roots and soil.
Over a long period of time, Shiyi even saw some women doing unimaginable things in exchange for food. Those women were also well educated in peacetime, but in doomsday, they were just part of the masses.
They are not professionals, nor do they have the same compulsive physical strength as men to go out and hunt those terrible monsters to replenish their energy. Everything seems to have been far away from her.
She became a dispensable person, or a creature, in this world.
Shiyi didn't know when she would die. After a period of confusion and despair, she even accepted her tragic fate and was ready to die.
tomorrow
One hour
Or one second later.
In any case, Shiyi hopes that she can leave happily.
Finally, during an expedition in search of food, Shiyi encountered a group of rotten zombies. Those zombies were like the ghosts in the legend. After experiencing a period of wind and rain, their appearance had undergone a qualitative change and they no longer looked like humans at all.
The other party was standing a few meters away from Shiyi like crazy. Pungent saliva was dripping from the mouths of those zombies. In the eyes of the zombies, Shiyi was undoubtedly delicious food.
Shiyi no longer resisted.
She no longer ran away the moment she saw the monster as she did before, but closed her eyes and waited for death to come.
In the darkness, she remembered what her father had told her: live well.
If possible, she naturally hopes that she can live well, but this is ultimately just a wish and a deception. She is just a survivor who is not much cleaner than a rat.
It's ridiculous.
Once, Shiyi was extremely hungry. She even tried to sell herself in exchange for food like those women. However, she had lived in a dark corner for a long time and had not taken a bath for a long time. Her body had become extremely smelly. Those people just looked at her from a distance, and after learning of her intention, they kicked her to the ground.
Countless people laughed and mocked Shiyi's behavior as being simply crazy.
Shiyi was speechless and could only leave the crowd dejectedly. She walked to some deserted corner again and licked her wounds like a wild cat.
What a ridiculous sellout.
One thing you need to know is that she was once the goddess that countless boys dreamed of, and the object of admiration and envy of countless teenagers.
With a good education, a wealthy family, and a sweet appearance, Shiyi had never had a boyfriend in her previous life, because in her opinion, there had never been someone in her life who truly made her heart beat.
These no longer have any meaning.
Shiyi closed her eyes.
She was waiting for the zombie to pierce her neck.
The neck that was originally white is now pitch black.
But just as Shiyi was waiting for death to come, minute by minute, instead of the zombie being killed, she heard a sound.
"The zombies have been dealt with. Let's start exploring the surroundings."
"Survivors were found, but it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female."
"Are you still alive? Are you sure you haven't been bitten by a zombie?"
Shiyi opened her eyes, and at that moment, the beam of light from outside shone in. She saw a face, a man in his early twenties, not handsome, but who gave her a sense of security.
If they had no possibility of any contact in their previous life trajectories, but from the moment the end of the world came, the fate that belonged to each other appeared in the two of them at this moment.
Until now, Shiyi still remembers that after making sure that she was not bitten, the other party walked out of the crowd again and handed her a bag of instant noodles.
Shiyi would never eat such junk food before.
Her life was destined to allow her to come into contact with better ingredients, but at that moment, when she saw the so-called junk food, Shiyi's eyes radiated a burning light.
After all, Shiyi has really eaten garbage.
The sound of swallowing was heard. Shiyi had not eaten for a long time. She swallowed too much and even got choked, making a crackling sound. In the past, this was simply impossible.
But in the end times, anything is possible.
In this way, Shiyi saved her life.
After that, Shiyi finally understood the other party's identity. He worked in a place called Order Shelter. Fortunately, he was a professional and now a captain of the exploration team.
The other party did not despise Shiyi's ugly appearance, but talked to her a lot. During the conversation, Shiyi foresaw a stronghold that was like a dream.
There is no evil in that stronghold. All residents need to abide by the laws there. Anyone who does bad things against women will pay a price.
The man asked Shiyi if she wanted to go back to the base with him.
Shiyi didn't hesitate, she just nodded. She didn't have any choice anymore. She didn't want to wander alone anymore, even if it was just a lie...
After thinking about this, Shiyi even revealed a self-deprecating smile at that time. Looking at herself like this, how could anyone deceive her
Just like that, Shiyi followed the man back to the base.
The first thing to do when you get here is to take a shower.
I heard that everyone had to go through this because the superiors were worried that germs from outside would flow into their power. Shiyi did not resist, but followed the arrangements and took a good bath.
She washed the dust off her body, and what remained was a sweet face.
She looked in the mirror and suddenly burst into tears. She hadn't seen herself like this for a long time.
The man was still outside, but when Shiyi stood in front of him, he still didn't recognize her, and he stammered, "Hello, who are you?"
Shiyi had lived in the apocalypse for several months and smiled for the first time. For some reason, she found a long-lost sense of security in the man.
Shiyi hasn't felt this way for a long time.
The man could not imagine that his unintentional kindness actually saved a sweet girl.
Shiyi has an outstanding appearance and is an excellent student. In addition, the order is in its early stages of development and needs talents. It didn’t take long for Shiyi to get important tasks and even be assigned to core work.
What does core mean? It is the center of order, where are the most powerful people in the order.
Shiyi's life changed again. After that, many people expressed their affection for her, including some gold-level strongmen. However, due to his talent, the man was still at the bronze level at that time.
What does gold mean
In the early days of the apocalypse, they were absolute talents. Following them meant that life would undoubtedly be better, and even comparable to the affluent days of the past.
Having power in doomsday is like having billions of wealth in peacetime, which makes people feel at ease.
But Shiyi still rejected the other party, and the professional even asked why? For this kind of emperor's favorite, the darling of the doomsday, it was hard for him to imagine that, except for the man standing at the top, there was anyone in the camp who was stronger and better than him
Shiyi just smiled and shook her head and said, "You are good in every way, but unfortunately, my heart has belonged to someone else a long time ago."
The "someone else" that Shiyi mentioned was that man.
After Shiyi was promoted, the man began to distance himself from her intentionally. He knew that he had no ability and was at best a team leader, who could not give the girl a better future. He started working and even stopped contacting Shiyi.
But just when the man gave up, Shiyi found him. For the first time in her life, she chose to confess her love to a boy. She did not expect a good life. She finally knew what she wanted. She wanted a sense of security.
A sense of security that can make you truly happy.
The man backed off for a while, but Shiyi kept pursuing him, and eventually, they became a family.
Shiyi never thought that one year after her marriage, she would become a mother, the mother of a little boy. She quit her job and devoted herself to taking care of her family. That man was finally promoted to the gold rank not long ago, gained attention from above, and became the captain of the Exploration Team 3.
More importantly, they finally got a small home as they wished, although this house is not as spacious as the mansion they lived in before, and there are not even any household appliances in this house, and everything needs to be done by themselves.
But Shiyi still felt extremely satisfied.
Because this is a home.
A real home.
Shiyi lost her family, and she longed for a warm home more than anyone else. The home did not need to be too big, or even too wealthy, but it only needed to have someone she loved and who loved her. That was enough.
“Pah.”
There was a knock on the door.
Shiyi smiled. It was time for the man to get off work. She put down the dishes in her hands and walked towards the door. If her parents were still alive, they would definitely like this man very much.
And this man has now become her husband and the father of her child.
