End of the World Cycle

Seeing Wen Yanru's bad complexion, the two of them only ate potatoes or meat every day. There was nothing else. It can be seen that his wife is Liang Pengfei's motivation to live. After getting to know each other better, Xie Qin would bring some things when he came again.

Sometimes it was a handful of fresh spinach, which they said was planted by their mother on the balcony and survived. Sometimes it was a small bag of adult milk powder.

Liang Pengfei knew that Xie Qin was helping him. He wanted to refuse because he had a strong sense of self-esteem. After all, he knew the situation at Xie Qin's home, an adult with two children. But seeing his wife's complexion gradually getting better, he still accepted it. He just wanted to wait until this terrible rainstorm was over and everything was back to normal, and then he would repay Xie Qin's family.

Also, in the fourth month of the heavy rain, Xie Ran fell ill. It wasn't a serious illness, just a cold, fever and cough. But Xie Qin still went to find Lan Yining without telling her brother, if for no other reason, she had to find a reason to start socializing.

When Xie Qin met Lan Yining in person, she felt that this person was calm and steady. She was the kind of person who could still treat patients calmly and calmly even if the sky fell.

He must be bored, so Lan Yining has already set up a table at the door of his house, offering free consultations. Consultation is consultation, and the medicine prescribed is the same. Whether the patient can find the medicine is up to the patient.

At first, anyone in the building who had a headache or fever would come here. But later on, they felt that even if they had seen the doctor and knew what was going on, there was no medicine and they would just have to bear it on their own, so they stopped coming.

Therefore, when Xie Qin came, there was no one there. Lan Yining came out only after he knocked on the door. After checking, it was found that he was just lacking exercise. The temperature had dropped a bit recently, and he didn't pay attention to keeping warm. His resistance was poor and he got sick.

After reading it, Xie Qin took out a handful of spinach from his pocket.

"Spinach? How come you have fresh vegetables? Is there a place where I can buy them?"

"No, no, my mother planted some on the balcony. Although there are not many, they are barely enough to eat if they grow one after another. I know you don't need anything, but I still want to thank you. This can be considered a thank you gift." Lan Yining was instantly happy when she saw the fresh vegetables.

His grandson is only twelve years old, and is in the growing period. There are only rice, flour, potatoes and meat at home. Even if there are vitamins in them, they are not as good as fresh vegetables.

"This is good, this is good. Can I ask you to buy it? Just give me a little bit every day."

"This... Doctor Lan, our family eats less vegetables, but we can squeeze in half a pound to give you. But our family is not short of money..."

Xie Qin spoke vaguely, but Lan Yining definitely understood.

"So what do you need? Let me see if I have any at home and exchange with you."

"My brother had a stent placed in his back before. My mother and I are not professional, so his recovery was average and his muscles have atrophied. If possible, could you please spend some time every day to help my brother with his rehabilitation?"

Lan Yining didn't rush to answer, but checked Xie Ran's legs. After a thorough inspection, she agreed to Xie Qin's request.

After that, Xie Qin would carry two small bags of spinach and go to the 36th floor with his brother on his back at nine o'clock every morning, and then go to the 55th floor himself.

The quiet days in the building stopped in the middle of the fourth month. Although it had no impact on Xie Qin and the others, it had a great impact on the order in the building.

The potatoes distributed by the government began to sprout in the second month due to the humid weather. Most people in the building, especially those living in high-rise buildings, who don't have a nanny at home, not only don't know how to make these things, but also don't know how to preserve them.

In addition, there was a power outage, and meat would spoil quickly if it wasn't marinated. From the fourth month onwards, there was basically nothing to eat except rice, flour and seasonings.

Some people even bought food at high prices in the group, especially those who lived on the top floor of the 88th floor. Some people on the lower floors had instant noodles, but they actually bought ten packs of instant noodles at yuan a pack.

Xie Qin saw it, but she didn't get involved because she wanted to let the people around her slowly understand the evil of human nature. She didn't want these people to notice her too early.

In the fifth month of heavy rain, Xie Qin had reached the point where he no longer needed to use his strength to fight Liang Pengfei. Although he could not beat him, he could still defend himself for a few moves and then find a chance to escape.

Sometimes he could even take advantage of Liang Pengfei's carelessness to counterattack. Even Liang Pengfei was amazed at Xie Qin's rapid progress. He was indeed a very talented child. If he could have learned from him a few years earlier, he would definitely have made a name for himself in the world competition at his age.

The water has now reached the 14th floor, the coastline has risen 46 meters, the information base station has been damaged, and most mobile phones can no longer receive signals. Xie Qin took out three domestic satellite phones and gave them to his brother and mother. As long as the satellite is still there, the signal will not be interrupted.

In the previous life, all the people who managed the satellite died, and the satellite was damaged by natural disasters soon after. In this life, we are prepared, and the country needs eyes, so the satellite will not have any problems.

The day the signal was cut off, the whole building was in a panic. Cut off from all contact with the outside world, it was like being trapped on an isolated island at sea, with no rescue, no supplies, and even from time to time, you could see a few bodies floating on the water through the windows. Plus, the rain showed no signs of stopping, and everyone was terrified.

Xie Qin stopped exercising for a day and went out to complete some side quests while the zombies hadn't appeared yet and it was still convenient to move around.

Xie Qin wore a raincoat and rowed the kayak slowly out. Without the sound of the propeller and being drowned in the heavy rain, he did not attract the attention of others at all. He slowed down his yacht after leaving the sight of the building, and felt comfortable when he entered the yacht.

The yacht had a constant temperature of 24 degrees and was very dry. I took a quick shower, turned on the automatic navigation function, and sat down at the small table to eat lunch.

After going out, I was busy for a while and it was already noon. I spent a long time choosing from the shelves in the space, and took a single-person army hot pot, plus an iced lemonade. This meal was quite enjoyable.

At home, my mother always feels that the weather is cold and doesn't allow me to drink cold drinks. This lemonade is placed in the space and it is the same as when I put it in. Half a cup of ice cubes is still in its original shape. It is more refreshing than carbonated drinks when I take a sip of it.

After the meal, the boat stopped. I was too lazy to clean up after being at home, so I just put everything into the space and went home to give it to my mother to wash.

The place where Xie Qin stopped was a vast expanse of water, and nothing could be seen around him. But Xie Qin knew that the city police station was right under his feet. The reason he came here was to find some wooden slings. Although he knew that even if he found them, they would not be usable. But the system did not say that he had to have good ones, so as long as he could complete the task, it would not be in vain.

After entering the submarine, he sneaked under the police station. Because he didn't know the specific structure inside, Xie Qin searched for nearly an hour before finding the wood storage.

The heavy steel door was comparable to that of a bank, and there were three such doors. The strength used underwater was not as much as on land. Fortunately, Xie Qin's strength mutation had reached the fourth level, so he opened the door without much effort.

Although it is a city-level police station, there are not many guns in it. It is a small warehouse, and there are no more than 20 special weapons. However, there are quite a few Type 92 pistols. More than 06 of them were found here and there. There are also several Type 95 submachine guns, Type rifles, and a sniper rifle.

These are all. Although I don't know if they can be used, I took them all in order to complete the mission. For a moment, I regretted not coming to collect them earlier. But it's not realistic to think about it. The guns are on the first floor, and the terrain is low. It is estimated that the police station will be flooded before the people around evacuate.

After getting the gun, Xie Qin did not go back directly, but went to Xu Kai. After all, this was the first laborer he had set his eyes on, and he had to ensure that he was alive.

As soon as the yacht arrived at Xu Kai's house, Xu Kai was already waiting at the entrance. It seemed that he had seen me as soon as I entered the community. He was very alert. But when I got closer, I saw that Xu Kai was holding a weapon in his hand.

A wooden crossbow that looks very solid and has considerable lethality.

Xu Kai waved anxiously at Xie Qin, and although Xie Qin was confused, he quickly walked over. After climbing over the window, the crossbow was directly in Xie Qin's hand, while Xu Kai held a kitchen knife and carefully looked around as he walked slowly forward with Xie Qin.

"what happened?"

"Something happened in our neighborhood. You shouldn't have come." Xu Kai's tone was a little anxious.

"What happened?"

"Many people have run out of food, and some have started robbing, both openly and secretly. They've even... even killed people. It's not safe anymore. Take this thing and press the trigger to attack. There are two spare arrows next to it, both made of wood. They don't do much damage, but they can still kill people. I'll go in front, and you watch the back."

Xie Qin just thought it was fun, nodded, and slowly followed Xu Kai up the stairs facing behind him. As expected, they encountered someone blocking their way before they had even gone up a few floors.

There were four people, three men and one woman. They didn't look like a family. The two men looked a bit like brothers, and the other man and woman were very close, probably a couple. They were all in their thirties. They all came out of the emergency passage on the 18th floor, so they were probably neighbors on the same floor.

It seemed that they were not holding anything in their hands, but when Xie Qin tilted his head slightly, he saw that everyone had a knife tucked into the waistband behind their backs.

Xie Qin clearly felt that Xu Kai was a little nervous, but he still held Xie Qin firmly behind him with one hand, staring fiercely at the four people.

"Hey, lend us your boat." The tallest man inside said to Xu Kai. Xu Kai did not respond but raised the kitchen knife in his hand a little. Xie Qin behind him spoke instead.

"Okay." Xie Qin smiled and replied. Xu Kai looked back at Xie Qin in confusion, and moved his eyes to signal her not to talk nonsense, but what he saw was Xie Qin's smile.

"Throw the key over here."

"The key is in my hand, come and get it if you want."

The four of them were about five or six meters apart. They looked at Xu Kai, who hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the petite Xie Qin behind Xu Kai. They didn't notice the crossbow hanging on Xie Qin's left hand. After exchanging a few glances with his companions, the tall man who asked for the key walked towards Xie Qin.

Before Xu Kai could raise his knife, he heard the tall man scream, and a sharp wooden arrow pierced the man's shoulder.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other three people did not dare to act rashly. When the man's pain subsided, the sound also stopped.

"Come on, come and get the key." Xie Qin's clear girlish voice sounded a little eerie in the corridor.

"Kill these two!" The man half-knelt on the ground in pain and half-groaned. He had already taken out a kitchen knife from behind and chopped at Xie Qin and the others.

Xu Kai wanted to pull Xie Qin to run, but found that he couldn't pull her at all. The three people behind him also listened to the man's words and pulled out kitchen knives to chop at them.

But just as the three of them took a step forward, they saw the man in front of them fall straight to the ground with his face on the ground. A wooden crossbow arrow went straight through the man's forehead and pierced his brain.

The woman screamed in fear, and couldn't even hold the kitchen knife steady. She tried to run, but her legs were so weak that she just stood there without making a sound.

Xu Kai was also frightened. He stared blankly at the man lying in front of him. He was definitely dead. He was surprised that this wooden crossbow arrow could penetrate a person's skull. He was also surprised that the little girl hiding behind him with a harmless smile could be so terrifying.

"Do you still need the key? If not, I'll leave." Xie Qin said to the three survivors with a smile on his face. Seeing that they didn't respond, he patted Xu Kai's shoulder and motioned him to go upstairs.

Xu Kai was a little confused about how he got back home. All he could think of was the image of the man who had died after being stabbed in the head by Xie Qin's sword.

It was not until his daughter said "Hello, sister" that Xu Kai came back to his senses. Looking at the girl who was smiling and rubbing his daughter's head, he could not associate the word murder with her at all.

"Hello, little sister. Hello, Grandpa Xu." Xie Qin greeted the two people who were waiting for them at the entrance in a normal manner.

"Hello, hello. You are the little girl who saved my son, right? Thank you very much. Come in and have some hot tea and a hot meal."

Xu Kai's home is a simple three-bedroom, one-living room house. The furniture is all made of wood, but it is very exquisite. There is also a carpenter's tool table on the balcony. There are two or three unfinished crossbows on it. Grandpa Xu saw Xie Qin's gaze and explained to Xie Qin with a smile on his face.

"I'm a carpenter, and these are my family's skills. The world is not peaceful right now, so if you leave later, I'll make these crossbows for you to take with you for self-defense."

"Thank you, Grandpa Xu." After saying that, Xie Qin took off Shenhua's backpack and handed it to Xu Kai.

"Hey, take it."

Xu Kai took Xie Qin's schoolbag in a daze.

"What...what is this? Did you give it to me?"

Xie Qin heard the change in Xu Kai's tone, he seemed a little afraid of her, and also a little cautiously respectful. But it doesn't matter, the evil of human nature is just the beginning. He patted Xu Kai's shoulder again.

"Don't be afraid, we are family. I came here just to see you. I will be leaving soon. Here are some vegetables and snacks for the children. I brought them to you."

Of course, there was a gun inside. Xie Qin had Xiao Bao inspect all the guns collected from the police station, and found that four of them were still usable. There were also a lot of bullets. He left one for Xu Kai, and kept thirty rounds of bullets. Xie Qin also thoughtfully wrote a tutorial.

After putting down the bag, Xie Qin did not stay, and did not even drink tea. He just said that he had something to do and would take the crossbow when he came to see them next time, and then left. Only after Xie Qin left did Xu Kai dare to open the bag.

A cabbage, a bag of spinach, two boxes of chocolates and a can of lollipops. When I touched the small pocket at the bottom, I found a pistol, a small box of bullets and a sticky note.

Xu Kai wanted to chase after her in panic, but he heard the sound of the yacht starting. He ran to the window and saw that Xie Qin had already left.

Looking at the tutorial on how to use the hand warehouse on a sticky note, there was a line of small words at the end (Live well and wait for me to pick you up). Xu Kai understood that Xie Qin would not do anything to him or his family. Just like she said, she was the boss's own person.

Yes, there was nothing to be afraid of. Those who stopped them had already broken into and robbed several houses. If their door was not locked and they had a strong labor force, they might have been robbed as well.

This kind of person deserves to die, and the boss cannot be blamed. He is just doing justice.
