Over the next week, the Twelfth Floor gradually returned to its normal pace of life. Regular work, rest and training allowed everyone to return to their peak condition.
Zheng Jiayu also has news about Bai Ziqian. The good news is that Bai Ziqian is still alive. The bad news is that he and his family lost contact after they took a flight to Ukraine.
The country of Ukraine was already in a state of war before the end of the world. It lacked supplies and firearms no less than the country of the United States. It was hard to figure out why they went to the country of Ukraine.
He Yuehua learned that Bai Ziqian was still alive, and she was relieved. Although they couldn't stay together, it was enough to know that he was not dead.
During this period, the government also dispatched military police to Jinxiu Garden to distribute supplies. Residents who originally heard that there was a commotion about supplies did not have any accidents under the deterrence of the military police.
In order to avoid becoming fat sheep, the group on the twelfth floor also went downstairs wearing old clothes to get supplies.
When supplies were scarce, each person could only receive two boxes of drinks, two vitamin tablets and five whole-wheat breads, but these supplies were quite abundant when they were hungry and thirsty.
Chu Junyi also learned from the military police that many people were fatally ill with scurvy due to vitamin C, which made him feel anxious and it was urgent to study plants.
Chu Junyi and Mo Zicheng's families immediately moved to the eleventh floor and lived in rooms 1103 and 1102 respectively. Together with the family of three in 1104, there were exactly three households.
Chen Yuanyuan is not familiar with the three members of 1104, but I heard from Chu Man that the family is not difficult to get along with, but they are just a little afraid of things. When installing the iron gates, they were always afraid that others would think there were supplies on the eleventh floor and cause trouble.
It's understandable to be afraid of getting into trouble if you're a first-timer. Don't just cause trouble like Aunt Wang and her son.
As for the stairs from the 10th floor to the 11th floor, Chen Yuanyuan also asked Liu Feiyang to use materials to install a gate. Normally, in order not to affect other residents' access to the rooftop, they are usually open and closed only when sleeping or in emergencies.
Yu Yanqun's injuries also recovered under He Yuehua's care. However, in order for her husband to feel free to go to the laboratory and invest in research, Yu Yanqun gradually faded away from the affairs of Building 2 and concentrated on running the family.
After settling his family, Chu Junyi also agreed to join the laboratory's research team. After Shen Yichen contacted the official agency, he took Chu Junyi to the laboratory.
If there are no major problems with the experiment, the authorities will specially arrange for Chu Junyi to return to Jinxiu Garden every three days. In addition to being transported by a special car, he will also be accompanied by armed guards.
Chu Junyi also has a good income from working in the laboratory. Food and drinking water will be provided for Chu Junyi as wages. He does not have to worry about the food problem of his family while he is working.
Chen Yuanyuan did not forget Xiao He's last wish. When they went to the back mountain to search for supplies, Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen climbed to the top of the back mountain.
On the top of the vast white mountain, the two of them searched for a long time before they found the maple tree Xiao He pointed to.
Chen Yuanyuan took out firewood and gasoline near the maple tree, turned Xiao He's body into ashes and buried it under the maple tree.
"Rest in peace. None of the cannibals in Building 6 escaped. You and your wife will be happy in another world." Chen Yuanyuan said while looking at the fire.
Although Chen Yuanyuan and Xiao He were strangers to each other, in just a few minutes of communication, Chen Yuanyuan also felt that Xiao He was upright and upright, but it was a pity that he met Dewey and crazy criticism.
Xiao He, the former director of Building No. 6, just returned to his ashes, far away from the cruel apocalypse, and rested here with his wife Zhu Xiaofeng and their unborn child.
July was coming to an end, and Shen Yichen went out to do errands more and more frequently. He left early and came back late for several days. Although Chen Yuanyuan was curious, she didn't ask any questions when she saw the tired Shen Yichen.
One day after lunch, Shen Yichen was not in a hurry to go out, but came to Chen Yuanyuan's home to talk about what had happened in the past few days.
"Did you say there was news about the jade relic?" Chen Yuanyuan said in surprise.
"Well, it's in a temple on Changzhou Island." Shen Yichen said.
"Have you got it?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"No, the jade relic is bound to a monk, but he is dying. I have been arranging some funeral arrangements for him these days." Shen Yichen said.
Cheung Chau Island is located in the south of Xiangcheng and is surrounded by the sea. It has a population of only 30,000.
However, due to its remote location, many young people stay in the urban area of Xiangcheng. Most of those who stay on the island are the elderly and young children who have not yet entered elementary school.
Although it is surrounded by the sea and has plenty of food, due to poor facilities and inconvenient transportation, many elderly people on Cheung Chau Island are unable to receive medical treatment. They died in typhoons and extreme cold, leaving behind many children who have no ability to survive.
Fortunately, there is a dilapidated temple on the island, and a monk named Xiangyun adopted many orphans after the end of the world.
Unfortunately, Master Xiangyun originally suffered from terminal lung cancer and already knew that he would die soon. During this period, Shen Yichen was arranging for the orphans to be sent to the official temporary shelter.
"I never thought there would be such a loving person in the last days." Chen Yuanyuan sighed.
The world is in tatters, but there are always people working hard to mend it.
"It's a pity that in this world, good people don't live long. If it weren't for the power of the jade relic, I wouldn't even be able to defend the temple." Shen Yichen said.
"What abilities does the jade relic have?" Chen Yuanyuan currently only knows about her jade bracelet, jade beads and Shen Yichen's wordless tablet ability, but knows nothing about the jade relic.
"I don't know the details, but I guess it's like a golden bell, a defensive ability." Shen Yichen said.
When Shen Yichen went to the island to investigate the news, he happened to encounter an old tree that was broken by heavy snow. Just as Shen Yichen was about to step forward, he saw the monk using his power to protect the old man passing by under the tree.
"How did you find that piece?" Chen Yuanyuan did not expect that the holder of the jade relic was in such a remote place, and Shen Yichen was able to find clues to find it.
"It's also thanks to you that Zheng Jiayu gave me this news." Shen Yichen said with a smile.
It turned out that the island where Zheng Jiayu was located was an archipelago near Changzhou Island. When Zheng Jiayu went to the island to exchange supplies, he heard about the monk's deeds from the islanders and told Shen Yichen.
"Then what are your plans? Will you wait for that mage to pass away?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"Remember the last time I asked you about Fan Shuanghu?" Shen Yichen continued when he saw Chen Yuanyuan nodded.
"In his last life, he started to dig up the remains in Kuai District in mid-August, and Master Xiangyun was suffering from terminal cancer and only had one month left to live. It is very likely that something happened when the monk in the previous life went to the city to ask for official help to resettle the orphans. "
Speaking of this, Shen Yichen also felt lucky. Master Xiangyun also said that he originally planned to go to the city for help at the end of July.
If it were a step later, the jade relic might have fallen into the hands of Fan Shuanghu, and the orphans would not be able to be resettled.
"How did the mage know that the jade relic had supernatural powers?" Chen Yuanyuan asked curiously.
"He didn't say it, but he gave me an unusual feeling." Shen Yichen thought about the few times he had come into contact with Master Xiangyun, and there was something strange about it.
