At this time, in a farmers' market in Area B.

Because it is the weekend, the market is most lively at ten o'clock, and shops on both sides open for business as the temperature warms up.

Ma Dazhuang wiped the sweat from his forehead and took out a plate of dough he had kneaded earlier to fry.

This store is owned by Ma Dazhuang and his wife Liuyang. They entered the base last year. With their hard work and skills, they rented this store at the base in June this year.

Liuyang was sitting in a store picking vegetables, holding leeks in his hand and muttering: "The leeks I bought today are not very good, they are in the period of transition. There are not many left after picking the tails, but fortunately the price is not high."

Ma Dazhuang, who had been busy for the whole morning, looked at the four-story steamer. The rising white smoke from the steamer enveloped the entire store, as if he had entered a fairyland.

He slowly picked up his kettle and took a sip of hot tea, then said with a smile: "You always like to take advantage of others. I think these leeks are old enough and are almost as old as you." Ma Dazhuang liked to quarrel with his wife in life, so he glanced at the picked yellow leeks and couldn't help but make a joke.

Liuyang said unhappily, "You are so generous that you are willing to buy more expensive vegetables. Do you still want to do this business? Besides, even if the leeks I bought are a little old, they are not inedible. At least I picked out the bad ones. Our buns are only seven points each, while the vegetarian buns on that street are already seven points. We even have eggs in them. Who do you think I save money on vegetables for? It's for our children."

The couple has been married for nearly twenty years and has a son and a daughter. Their daughter works in a nearby company, and their youngest son has just joined a small hunter guild nearby, becoming the youngest hunter among several nearby hunter guilds.

Originally, when their 17-year-old son wanted to join the Hunter's Guild, the couple were extremely opposed to it, but they could not change their son's determination to join the Hunter's Guild. Besides, after their son's awakening of his superpowers, he reached the level of a C-level superpower from an E-level superpower in less than three years. When the apocalyptic disaster happened, it was their son who protected the whole family in the face of the harsh external environment and the ugliness of human nature. So in the end, they could only agree that even if he joined the guild, he must not accept any life-threatening missions.

Now, his son has been a member of the trade union for two months, and his monthly income is quite considerable. When the income is good, it can be equal to the net income of the couple's small shop in one month. Therefore, the voices of opposition from Ma Dazhuang and Liuyang have gradually become smaller.

Ma Dazhuang is from the north, and his home is close to a small country. The coldest time in winter can reach minus forty or even fifty degrees Celsius. He has long been accustomed to the cold winter, so when the extreme cold comes, Ma Dazhuang does not feel panic. Instead, he is calmer than ordinary people, and he also has a set of small tricks to keep warm.

Because the family had returned to their hometown with Ma Dazhuang several times, both Liuyang and the children were more at ease than ordinary people when facing the extreme cold. At least they were able to arrange all the heating facilities that were currently available.

Ma Dazhuang sat at the door wearing only a thin cotton coat, facing the people coming and going in the market in front of him. He looked up at the foggy sky and couldn't help muttering: "The temperature has obviously warmed up in the past few days, why does it still look so dead?"

"As long as it doesn't rain or snow, everything is fine. It's just that there's no sun. But I think the temperature is quite warm. People are willing to go out in such weather." Liuyang said disapprovingly.

At this time, the couple had no idea that today would be an extremely dark moment in their lives.
