Survival [End Times]

248, The Sea of ​​Doom 17

After hearing the news, even Yu Heng took a breath: "Is this crazy?"

"Aren't you crazy? Those children are pitiful too. They all have problems in that area." The speaker was still Ms. Hao, a very talkative and outgoing person. When she said this, she glanced at Yu Heng. Once you combine the ages of the two children, you will know what the problem is.

"The parents must also be feeling uncomfortable. This disease is difficult to cure. They may be too stressed and feel that the hospital is unreliable, so they took their children out of the hospital and planned to artificially help their children evolve successfully..." The result was a tragedy.

On the day of the meeting, Yu Heng and Zhang’s mother went to listen. I have to say that the event was very successful. The speaker’s speech was very captivating and inspiring. After that, there seemed to be no such tragedy in Hexiang, but on the news, similar incidents happened all over the country.

As the flood approaches, people's nerves are indeed getting tighter. Judging from satellite images, the flooded area has covered two-fifths of the country. The Zhongjing area, which has been prosperous for several years, is now only visited by sea fishermen.

The world is slowly collapsing at a slow but persistent speed, but with the support of the authorities, it still maintains the illusion that the glass remains intact after it is broken.

A few years ago, the second and third phases of new urban residences were put on sale in advance. It is expected that they will be officially completed and moved in next fall. The fourth phase of new urban residences will follow suit and it is said that they will not be released until the spring of next year.

The three phases of the new city bureau can sell more than 5.5 million houses in total. Based on the successful experience of Hexiang, it took less than two years to build three batches of housing, involving tens of thousands of workers. The project is huge.

Fortunately, the results are remarkable. It can accommodate at least nearly 40 million people, which greatly alleviates the current housing problem. In terms of quality, it can only be guaranteed that the water inlet layer below the first floor can definitely withstand flooding. Compared with the Hexiang New Town Bureau, it does lack some livability due to the problem of rushing work.

However, with the addition of a rainproof cover, the isolation of rainwater can offset the quality defects of the house. As long as there is no rainwater erosion, the house is still very strong.

The total domestic population is about 500 million, so about 8% of the population will be resettled. The authorities are still full of hope for the future. Currently, the construction department is still working overtime to divide the land and conduct field data surveys. It is necessary to resettle the entire population. The western part of the country is the highest-lying area of ​​the country.

Construction! Construction! Construction!

In the Academy of Sciences, the research on aerial cities has once again reached a bottleneck. Because it is impossible to realize an empty city in the short term, the authorities are asked to make a comprehensive plan to build a water city. If the city is empty, then we can only continue research.

Research has once again hit a bottleneck. Zeng Yu has also been working overtime recently and finally got a night's rest. He can't even move at home.

"Your mother and sister, I, and I will leave next year. What will you do alone?" Zeng Pingnian said worriedly, "Look at how tired you are. Can you do it without no one watching over you?"

Zeng Yu quickly sat up and said seriously: "Dad, I can do it. You go to Qionghai Mountain to live there first, then I can rest assured." Finally, three new batches of floating housing were released, and he was allocated a three-bedroom apartment. He must have wanted his parents and grandpa to move in as soon as possible.

"If I go late, I'm afraid of being robbed." Zeng Yu's worry is not unreasonable. He has no background and nothing. He only relies on his reputation as his uncle's close disciple to gain respect.

Fortunately, he has always been cautious and listened to what his uncle wrote in his notebook. He helped provide some inspiration at critical moments and helped the team solve doubts and eliminate bottlenecks, so he slowly went from being a mascot to where he is today.

He didn't know why Uncle Zhang would leave him such an important notebook, which wrote down the progress of the empty city research in detail, including some possible difficulties. This is an extremely rare treasure!

Zeng Yu was worried and uneasy, but he was good at one thing, that is, he listened to others' advice and was not radical or vain. He knows who is really good to him and who has sincere plans for him.

He spent a whole night memorizing the notebook, then burned it and flushed it into the toilet. The next day, white hair sprouted, which frightened Zeng Pingnian, and at the same time he thought of the death of his old friend. , I feel that the child is too sad.

What a nice guy.

"Carry it down and burn it. Xiaoyu, I know you are a stable child. The world is difficult, so I can leave you something like this. You can consider the opportunity yourself and plan for your parents. Retire after success. Live a good life with your parents and sisters."

Ever since his uncle and Grandma Zhang left, the past three years have been like jumping on a tightrope. Slowly, he also became enlightened and understood what planning is, so he only had this house three years later. The competition in the academy became more and more intense. Fortunately, he always looked dumb, neither taking sides nor leaning on either side. But he also knew that one day he would have to take sides. Then it would be a blessing or a curse. It's hard to say.

But no matter how difficult it is, he is not afraid. That house can give his parents a place to rely on! If it weren't for the notebook that Uncle Zhang left for him, his family would never have been able to afford this new house on the water. This batch of newly opened houses sells for 250,000 yuan per square meter. Where can you afford them?

"Dad, I'll rest assured if you move here quickly." While he still had some status in the academy, he quickly built a solid house. It would be safest to live there as if he were rooted.

"Okay, remember to call me if you have anything to do. I'll come back to see you." Zeng Pingnian touched his son's head and said distressedly: "Take care of yourself."

"Yeah." Zeng Yu smiled.

Although I was assigned a three-bedroom apartment, it was already very good under the one-household purchase restriction order. How many families of seven or eight people only live in a two-bedroom apartment?

There are three members of the Zeng family, plus six members of the Zhao family, male, female, old and young, a total of nine people. It is not bad for three people to live in one room. At least there is no need to set up a bed board in the living room. The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Zhao family are very happy and feel that they occupy the same space. The light of my nephew.

When the Zeng family and the Zhao family were busy moving, Yu Heng didn't know about it. If he knew about it, it would just be to make the Zeng family happy. Everyone would live well, and he would be relieved.

At this time, he was being commended by the Hexiang Security Department, because he, with his keen sense of smell, once again caught an undercover hiding in the corner and stuffing cards into the crowd during the food delivery process, what a trick! Simply, he was a high-level elite pickpocket, but no matter how elite he was, he was caught with his crutch.

The frequency of arrests was so high that all the staff in the security department knew him, and secretly gave him the nickname "Sister Chen, the pest-killing hero." Fortunately, he was not involved, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

"You guys go slowly." Mother Zhang saw off the deputy captain of the security team and said happily to Yu Heng, "I'm so polite and gave you so many things." It's not that she lacks these things, it's just that this is her son. She was proud of receiving the prize and praising her son as an outstanding resident.

“Ouch, there’s also a red envelope!”

The deputy captain of the security department brought a large fruit basket, which contained yellow and orange tangerines. It looked like a special gift for the New Year, and the price was not cheap at first glance. There was also a big red envelope stuffed inside. When I opened it, I saw it was five thousand yuan. Although today, with rising prices, the purchasing power of five thousand yuan is only more than three thousand, it still makes Zhang's mother happy, "Come here and I will wrap it up for you. You can keep it well."

Seeing that Zhang's mother was happy, Yu Heng also smiled in response: "Mom, let's go shopping for New Year clothes tomorrow, and we'll just take these five thousand yuan."

Zhang's mother agreed, but still warned him: "Those people are out of their minds. You have to be careful in the future. If you can't fight, just run away. I'm afraid they will bring knives." It's all on the news, what about the Fish God Cult? Yes, they are all a group of deceived people, and they may hurt people if they get hot-headed.

"I know, Mom."

Because of this incident, Yu Heng also became famous among the neighbors. Everyone saw people from the security team coming to the door, carrying a fruit basket. Tian Jing also casually teased Yu Heng when he went out: "Sister Chen, how can you?" That’s awesome. If it were me, I wouldn’t dare arrest those people.”

Yu Heng could only smile and said nothing.

"By the way, Sister Chen, do you have any green onions at home? I'll go to your house and pull out a few." This was a funny thing to say, so Yu Heng just said, "I have to go out, so you can go find my mother." It wasn't just once or twice. Come back, he doesn't pull out onions or dig out garlic every time. Mother Zhang complained to him a few days ago, so let the old lady handle it by herself.

Chen Taohua, who he plays, is a taciturn woman. If he slightly changes the way he speaks, it sounds like a dull female voice with a rough voice, which has never aroused suspicion from outsiders.

Seeing Yu Heng leave, Tian Jing's expression changed a little, and finally she knocked on Zhang's door. When Yu Heng came home at noon and asked about it casually, Zhang's mother said lightly: "Yes, I charged her five yuan."

But Yu Heng laughed: "Mom, do you finally dare to accept it?"

Zhang's mother couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "I really don't understand. Let's say she is knowledgeable. She also regarded a handful of green onions as something that was not worth buying vegetables before. Say she is ignorant. Normally She often comes to our house to buy vegetables, and she definitely knows the prices of vegetables. "She comes here every two days to touch onions and garlic..."

It really makes people unfavorable! Nowadays, it is not like in the early years when we just plucked out worthless things. When it comes to onions, we no longer care about weighing them when they are sold outside. Anyway, no matter how big or small the onions are, they only cost a dollar a piece. You can buy them whether you like them or not.

There is no way. The cost of planting is too high now. It rains every day and there is no sun. People are getting sick and rusty, not to mention those vegetables. Even if the seeds are constantly improved, they still have to have the necessary light. The electricity bill will increase with the electricity consumption. How can I withstand such begging if I spend it all in a hurry?

It's not that Tian Jing didn't pay every time. She actually paid. Sometimes she didn't pay, and sometimes she had to pay the previous debt, so Zhang's mother was embarrassed to ask her for it. But this time, she misremembered it once too many times, so she inevitably missed it several times.

At first, Yu Heng said, "I'll go ask her for it." She was stopped by Zhang's mother. She knew her son's thoughts and only thought that he still had feelings for Tian Jing, and she didn't want to let him be looked down upon by those few dollars. Being a mother has always been like this. In addition, Zhang's mother now has the final say in the family, and all the money he earns is controlled by Zhang's mother. In order to maintain his original image, Yu Heng also relies on Zhang's mother.

It's okay now. After these three years, Zhang's mother has seen clearly that her son has let go, so let's treat her ex-daughter-in-law as an ordinary neighbor. Moreover, Yu Heng's meticulous care over the years has gradually allowed the old lady to build up her confidence. The few years she has been in charge of the business have further strengthened her confidence and made her determined. Today, Tian Jing repeated her old trick, and she said directly: "Five yuan."

Tian Jing plucked six green onions, and she already gave them a discount for the sake of her neighbors~

Yu Heng laughed: "Mom, you are so awesome, she will definitely not dare to do it next time."

"Of course." Mother Zhang raised her face proudly, took the empty basket on Yu Heng's back, and walked towards the kitchen.
