Chapter 5, Restraint
Jiang Ming strode away from Yeluo Community. When he got back to the car, his eyes were scarlet.
He huddled in the driver's seat, looked at himself reflected in the rearview mirror, and twitched his lips.
Even to laugh, you have to rely on yourself to control your muscles.
People kept passing by the car, and the smell permeating their bodies made Jiang Ming's mind begin to scream again, wanting to devour flesh and blood.
His hand was placed on his heart, and his whole body was trembling.
The pain was severe, the pain was overwhelming, and it was surging.
Ten years.
He endured it day and night, restraining himself from devouring flesh and blood, and carefully hiding around the Nirvana security base.
Peeping the light in the darkness.
However, he was still a step too late after all.
That day was the day when he completely unleashed his instincts.
The suppressed pain could not be released at all, not even a single tear could be shed, so he could only choose to restrain himself.
Unknowingly, the tightened fingers and nails pierced the flesh, and blood as black as ink flowed out.
Zhou family.
Zhou Wenwen is calling grandma.
"Hey, grandma, have you not sold the wheat you just harvested and last year's corn?"
New corn has been planted, but the corn and wheat from the last two seasons have not been sold yet.
In order to take care of the brother and sister whose parents both died, the old couple traveled back and forth from the countryside to the city.
The family contracted nearly fifty acres of land and harvested an astonishing amount of food. Each harvest was not sold immediately but stored in the granary.
Wait for the price to slowly rise.
Selling at harvest time is the most uneconomical time. Even if the price per catty rises by just a dime, if you accumulate a small sum of money, fifty acres of grain will be sold for several thousand yuan more.
Last time, I chose to sell it when the volcanic ash drifted into the country. I sold half of it and donated half of it.
After receiving a positive reply from her grandma, Zhou Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Grandma, Xiaochen and I will go to the countryside to look for you tomorrow. Is there anything you need me to bring you there?"
"Xiaochen won't have class tomorrow. The teacher in the tutoring class is sick and will take a month off!"
"Ah, yes, Xiaochen is very good, and he has finished all his summer homework."
Zhou Wenwen nodded perfunctorily and glanced at the paper planes flying in the sky.
It is indeed all over.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Zhou Yichen came over holding his piggy bank and a dark envelope.
"Sister, look, grandpa hid this, there are three thousand yuan!"
As soon as I took the envelope over, I could smell the fumes from the kitchen.
This is taking away the old man’s nest of private money in this life!
There was a crisp click sound.
Zhou Yichen broke his piggy bank and the red banknotes scattered on the floor.
Oops!
More than the old man’s private money!
More than five thousand yuan!
"I'll hold these for you. Tell me what you want to buy and I'll buy it for you."
Zhou Wenwen doesn't have any psychological burden. Money will soon become waste paper and must be quickly replaced with supplies. She wants her grandparents and younger brother to survive.
"good."
Zhou Yichen smiled and didn't say what he liked to eat.
He likes to eat anything and is not picky, as long as he has meat!
Zhou Wenwen took a look at the supplies he brought back from the supermarket today, and with a thought, he put most of the supplies into the space.
"Sister, is this your space?"
Zhou Yichen was not startled, but his eyes were bright.
A few minutes ago, while tearing up his summer vacation homework, he also went online to catch up on apocalyptic knowledge and knew that space was a must.
"Well, we can still plant things. Let's dig out all the cores."
With that said, Zhou Wenwen took out the fruits he bought today.
Apples, persimmons, pears, grapes...all kinds of things covered the table.
"Okay!"
Without saying anything, Zhou Yichen hurriedly went to get the fruit knife.
The pulp is not wasted and cannot be eaten in one sitting. Zhou Wenwen specially prepared some disposable plastic boxes and placed the pulp and the boxes in the black static space so that they can be taken out and eaten at any time.
Zhou Wenwen was digging around and buying things online. Express delivery in the same city would arrive soon.
Boxes of wipes, toilet paper, and wet wipes are enough for a family to use for decades.
You can buy hundreds of towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and shower gel, which are more than enough to give your little cuties a bath.
Considering that there were too many things, the neighbors may have noticed that Zhou Wenwen did not continue to buy in bulk. He still had plenty of time and decided to get the daily necessities first today.
At the same time, Zhou Wenwen called a restaurant and asked them to prepare thirty tables of wedding banquets and package them all, and she would go and pick them up.
It is inconvenient to cook in the apocalypse, and the smell will attract others to covet you.
He didn't make a reservation in advance and said he couldn't come out today. Zhou Wenwen didn't do anything, so he added an extra 3,000 yuan and paid a down payment of 50,000 yuan.
Finally, I was told that it would be packed by 9pm.
One after another, boxes and boxes of daily necessities were delivered.
Every time a batch came, Zhou Wenwen put it into the black static space without opening the packaging box. When the temperature was tens of degrees below zero, it could be warmed by the fire.
When a neighbor asked Zhou Wenwen why he bought so many things, Zhou Wenwen excused himself by saying he was supporting mountainous areas.
The siblings dug fruit cores all afternoon, and after taking out all the cores, it was already dark.
The intra-city express delivery has also been finished, and there is a lot of stuff piled up in the space.
Zhou Wenwen bought things of relatively good quality and spent nearly 300,000 yuan in one go.
There is still a balance of 4.7 million.
After having a casual meal, Zhou Wenwen thought for a while and made several copies of the paper he printed out today.
It is related to the continuation of the entire human civilization, and it is not safe for just one person.
After telling Zhou Yichen not to open the door to strangers at home, Zhou Wenwen drove out in the family's broken van.
This broken van was used by grandparents to haul fertilizers. The back seats were removed and it had a lot of space. It was considered an old treasure. I didn’t worry about it in the countryside, so I usually put it in the underground garage.
Zhou Wenwen went to the hotel first. The hotel manager had already packed everything and was waiting for Zhou Wenwen.
The banquet is not the best, it is considered average. One banquet table costs more than 3,000 yuan, and thirty tables costs nearly 100,000 yuan.
After Zhou Wenwen paid the final payment.
The hotel waiter helped load the car, but he didn't finish loading at one time and there was a lot left.
Zhou Wenwen drove the van for a spin, put the things into the space, and took away the remaining things.
"Why do you want a table at this late hour?"
The manager, a slightly fat middle-aged man, asked curiously. It was the first time he had seen such a situation.
Banquets held by Black and White are basically booked in advance.
"Our boss is getting divorced and getting married today. He plans to take it back to the factory employees to eat. After eating, he will continue to work overtime until dawn!"
Zhou Wenwen left behind a few words and drove away in the van.
The hotel manager was left stunned.
Zhou Wenwen parked the van on the side of the road and looked at the guesthouse in front of him.
Chapter completed!
