Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

"Are you really going to do this?" His tone was a little hurried and a little dissatisfied.

Tao Zheng did not answer immediately. He folded his hands on his knees, looked down, and seemed to be thinking about something.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "With the friendship that I helped Zhou Shuwan, the captain should trust me enough now, right?"

Xiaoliu's expression changed, and his tone was a little anxious: "Do you really think this is enough? You are well aware of the captain's character. He has always been meticulous and it is not easy for him to completely trust someone."

Tao Zheng raised his head, his eyes calm as water, and a faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Trust needs to be accumulated, especially for people like him. I helped Zhou Shuwan when he was in extreme danger. He will never easily ignore this favor no matter what."

Xiao Liu stared at Tao Zheng for a long time, his eyes complicated. He finally sighed, his tone somewhat helpless: "After so many years of struggle and the deaths and injuries of comrades, I'm tired. I'm very satisfied with my current life. Do whatever you want."

Tao Zheng didn't say anything, but turned his gaze to the window. Snowflakes were dancing in the wind, and there seemed to be only endless coldness in the white sky and earth.

When Xiaoliu saw that Tao Zheng stopped talking, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes. He took a step back and turned to leave.

Just as his hand touched the door handle, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Tao Zheng, his tone cold: "The captain saved my life. I don't care what you want to do, but if you dare to harm him, I will fight you to the death!"

Tao Zheng still did not respond, but just lowered his eyes, as if he had not heard Xiao Liu's words at all.

Xiaoliu stared at him for a few seconds, finally snorted coldly, and pushed the door open.

Silence returned to the house, with only the faint sound of the burning white flame stove.

Tao Zheng was still sitting on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the snowy scene outside the window. After a long while, he sighed softly, "He also saved my life..."

His voice was very soft, as if he was just talking to himself, but in the silent room, it was particularly clear.

At the same time, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu had returned home.

Qi Mingyu helped Zhou Shuwan into the house, and warmth came over them. Grandma Pang and Mu Mu were sitting on the sofa, watching them come in with smiles on their faces.

Grandma Pang greeted with a smile: "Are you back? Have you eaten?"

Qi Mingyu nodded and smiled: "I ate at Tao Zheng's house, grandma."

He turned to look at Zhou Shuwan, and saw that her brows were slightly furrowed, her eyes were a little wandering, as if she was thinking about something, so he suppressed his thoughts and pulled Zhou Shuwan over to talk.

Zhou Shuwan did have some thoughts on this, but he never spoke out.

After Grandma Pang and Mu Mu went to bed, she and Qi Mingyu went to her parents' room.

In fact, Qi Mingyu more or less knew what she was going to say.

Zhou Shuwan took a deep breath, his eyes swept over his parents' faces, and his tone was a little heavy: "Dad, Mom, according to the time calculation, in two months, it will be the time of the great earthquake in the previous life. I have always thought that when that time comes, our family will move to the open space outside in advance and set up tents to live for a while to avoid this disaster."

She paused, frowning, "But, you also saw..."

Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun understood without her saying anything.

The natural disasters at the end of this life are different from those in the previous life.

According to Zhou Shuwan, there were also two years of extreme cold in the previous life, but natural disasters such as floods and high temperatures were short-lived, so the great earthquake occurred during the Eternal Night disaster eight years after the end of the world.

But now it is the eighth year of the apocalypse, the extreme cold weather has not ended, and they are not sure whether the earthquake will be delayed.

If it hadn't been postponed, where would they have hidden in such a snowstorm?

If it is postponed, when will it arrive?

After hearing this, Zhou Jianghai's expression grew serious. He was silent for a moment before speaking: "Wanwan, are you saying that if the earthquake is delayed, we'll have to wait anxiously?"

Zhou Shuwan nodded, a hint of anxiety in her eyes: "Yes, if the big earthquake comes on time, then we can hide outside and find a way to keep warm. But if it is postponed, then the time is uncertain, which is really disadvantageous for us..."

Zhong Tiyun frowned, her tone filled with worry: "Wanwan, even if it's not postponed, we can't hide outside forever, right? It's so cold outside, how can we bear it?"

Zhou Jianghai also sighed and said softly, "Yes, it's okay at home. Your grandma is old. Even if there is a white flame furnace, the environment outside is too harsh."

However, if you live in the base, once a major earthquake occurs, the buildings will collapse and people will be crowded, so the risk factor will be higher.

Living alone in a wide area outside would increase your chances of survival.

Zhou Shuwan looked at Qi Mingyu: "Brother Yu, what do you mean?"

Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun also looked at him. He was now the backbone of the family. Everyone in the family trusted him and believed in his abilities.

Qi Mingyu thought for a while and asked, "Wanwan, how did you escape?"

Zhou Shuwan simply told them that he was lucky to have escaped the earthquake.

Although she met Lin Youyang and Zhao Shanshan later and ultimately could not escape death, she did escape the earthquake that destroyed nearly a quarter of the base's population.

She continued, "I couldn't afford a house on the base at the time, so I lived in a greenhouse for two years. When the extreme cold ended, drought set in, and I lived in a tent outside the base. The drought lasted for a year, and then the eternal night began. The eternal night lasted for more than a year, and then there was a major earthquake. I was saved not because I was lucky, but because I was looking for a root plant called ground lettuce outside the base. This plant appears during the eternal night, and its rhizomes contain starch, which can satisfy hunger. It also grows in relatively wide areas. So, when the earthquake started, I was lucky enough to escape with my life..."
