Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 860 Extreme Apocalypse 24

"Okay, good luck."

After everyone left, Ruan Chutong looked away.

"Brother Li, are you alright? Do you want me to dig for a bit?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yanjing felt that she had used inappropriate words.

What do you mean, "can he or can he?" Shouldn't you be asking him if he's tired?

"I'm not tired, I'll let you do it later."

"Okay, Brother Li, you have great stamina."

Li Yanjing remained expressionless and continued digging.

He'd only dug up less than two bamboo shoots, and his energy was already back to normal? Was she being sarcastic?

still is……

Unfortunately, he didn't look up and therefore didn't see Ruan Chutong's mischievous smile; she had done it on purpose.

Ruan Chutong didn't notice the smile that flashed in Li Yanjing's lowered eyes.

After digging bamboo shoots all afternoon, we returned to the temple, washed our hands, and were ready to eat.

If it weren't for the rudimentary living conditions and the lack of a standard three-dish-and-one-soup meal, Ruan Chutong would have thought that the apocalypse wasn't so bad after all.

It should be said that, given her abilities and the resources she possessed, she had not suffered much hardship.

She just couldn't enjoy it openly; whenever she had time, she would go into her private space to have extra meals.

Taking a shower and washing up are very convenient in this space.

However, she didn't use scented shower gel when she took a bath, and she didn't wash her hair very often enough to attract attention.

The two families took advantage of the available space and the large amount of water they had stored, boiling water to bathe themselves every two days and washing their hair every so often.

After lunch today, Ruan Chutong carried a small folding basin into the tent, which was filled with hot water for her to wash and wipe herself.

She didn't wipe herself down, but went straight into the space to take a shower.

After coming out, she took out a mirror to look at herself, and her hair was now just the right length to her collarbone.

After the apocalypse, she and Li Xinyan both cut their hair short for convenience. Xu Zhenzhu and Gao's mother didn't have long hair to begin with.

The original owner had a pure and fair appearance, with big double eyelids, red lips and white teeth, and her eyebrows and eyes curved when she smiled.

But she doesn't smile often, so she seems rather reserved.

After I arrived, my whole demeanor became more composed and confident, and my eyes even had a touch of languor when they were slightly upturned.

She didn't intentionally change her appearance; she only drank the spiritual spring water to make herself look better.

Regardless of whether it's the end of the world or not, I'm quite happy looking at myself in the mirror.

After soaking her feet, she lifted the tent flap and went outside: "Xinyan, I'm done, it's your turn."

The two of them took turns going in to wipe themselves down.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Everyone was still awake, and they were gathered around the fire processing the bamboo shoots they had dug up that day.

Xu Zhenzhu suddenly waved to her: "Tongtong, come here."

Hearing this, Ruan Chutong walked over in confusion: "What's wrong, Mom?"

"Here's a roasted sweet potato for you. A-Jing just roasted it for you. When did you two siblings become so close? I was originally planning to let you come out and roast it yourself."

Ruan Chutong took the roasted sweet potato and glanced at Li Yanjing.

Just then, while he was grilling the dried bamboo shoots, he was also looking at himself.

She smiled at the person before answering her mother's question: "Maybe Brother Li is just that kind of thoughtful towards his sister."

Xu Zhenzhu didn't think much of it and nodded with a smile: "That's true. Although A-Jing doesn't talk much, he is very considerate to everyone. He is the kind of person who does more than he says and is always ready to help."

On ordinary days, whenever they see any work to be done, the Li family father and son are the type to lend a hand and take the initiative to do it.

"Hmm." Ruan Chutong opened the foil wrapped in paper and tentatively took a bite of the roasted sweet potato.

The temperature was just right, perfect for eating, and the sweet potatoes tasted sweet.

It's getting hotter and hotter, and everyone has started wearing summer clothes lately.

Ruan Chutong went even further, wearing a loose tank top and hot pants.

Seeing her dressed like that, Li Xinyan couldn't stand it anymore and changed into it too.

"It's so hot today, I still feel hot even dressed like this."

Ruan Chutong nodded, leaning against the temple gate and looking into the distance.

"Xinyan, go and call everyone, we need to have a short meeting."

"Okay, I'll go get someone." Li Xinyan said and went outside.

A few days ago, the people in the temple heard the sound of a broadcast coming from down the mountain.

The broadcast mainly announced that the country had built a base in a certain location and invited survivors to go there.

Upon hearing the news, most of the others left that very day.

Although it's a bit hot now, it's still daytime when you can go out.

If we wait any longer, there's no guarantee that any disaster will occur.

So everyone was scared, and as soon as they heard about the existence of a base, they chose to go there without hesitation.

After all, many people believe that the power of the state is greater than that of an individual.

The Ruan Chutong family did not leave immediately; since they had their own space, they were destined not to stay with others indefinitely.

So they stayed for the time being, deciding to wait a couple of days, and politely declined the invitation from Zhang Anwen's family to travel with them.

But now, Ruan Chutong felt that it was about time, and they could head to the base.

She noticed that after the extreme heat began, there were many more animals and insects in the mountains, and she suspected that there would be an insect infestation when it got even hotter.

We can't stay here any longer. Let's go to the base first. If it's okay, we can settle down here. If it's not okay, we'll make other plans later.

After everyone arrived, they sat down to talk about going to the base.

Li Dayuan spoke first: "I wonder what the situation is like at the base now? Will it be inconvenient for us to go there?"

His main concern was that Tongtong had a spatial ability, which was something that couldn't be revealed.

Mr. Gao nodded: "Yes, we are more free here, but we don't know what will happen later. It would be safer to go to the base."

"It's going to get hotter and hotter, and then there will be a lot more snakes, insects and rodents in the mountains. I encountered two snakes and a lot of small insects on my way down the mountain today."

Gao Mingcheng was fanning himself with a fan; he had just returned and was covered in sweat.

Seeing that someone had finally brought this up, Ruan Chutong said, "I suggest we go to the base. Let's all share our thoughts."

“If Sister Tong thinks it’s okay to go, then I’ll choose to go too,” Li Xinyan immediately said.

Li Yanjing also felt that now was the right time to go to the base: "Yes, let's go to the base."

Then Gao Mingcheng agreed, and Li Dayuan and Xu Zhenzhu exchanged glances with the Gao couple.

Since the children had decided to go, the others naturally had no other opinions.

Li Dayuan made the decision: "Then let's go. Since we've decided to go, let's pack our things and leave as soon as possible, while we can still go out during the day."

"We have to get going. We can't take the speedboat again this time, boohoo~" Li Xinyan felt her feet hurting just thinking about walking.

Seeing her like this, Ruan Chutong smiled and said, "We can drive there, which will save time and effort."

"Sister Tong, wouldn't that be too conspicuous?"

Upon hearing this question, Gao Mingcheng thought about it carefully and then came up with a general idea.
