Bonus Chapter
Chu Huai’s custom-made fish tanks were also made of bullet-proof glass, he naturally intended for it to be strong and durable.
After the apocalypse, the four seasons would be chaotic. Planting agricultural products can only be carried out in a greenhouse with well prepared equipment and materials, however, the space in their house is not enough.
Even if the house and the garden were all used as garden space, it will not be able to provide enough vegetables for them to eat, and there was also a need to hide what they have already prepared in the space.
So after thinking about it, Chu Huai decided to just make a small greenhouse and grow vegetables for their daily consumption.
The rest of the open space would be equipped with fish tanks for breeding freshwater products such as fish and shrimps.
After the apocalypse, fruits and vegetables are hard to grow and expensive, but they are not particularly scarce. In the later days, everyone would practically be knowledgeable in farming, and a lot of greenhouse-grown fruits and vegetables are produced at individual homes.
Even for meat- a person who has the ability to go directly out of the base to hunt a mutant beast can eat it for several days.
What would really be scarce are aquatic products. The serious pollution of water resources after the apocalypse, coupled with the fierce mutation of aquatic beasts in every body of water would result in having no seafood in the base.
Even if there were, the number would be scarce, and the amount would not even be enough for the upper echelon.
Rare goods are more expensive, and farming fish and shrimp is far more economical and cost-effective than growing fruits and vegetables indoors.
Yuan Haolin and Chu Huai used all the spaces available to them. The garden was used as an activity area, and the extra rooms were filled with fish tanks. Even if they ate everything they put into the space in the future, they would still be able to feed on fish and shrimp.
After seeing the fish tank and the equipment for indoor fish and shrimp farming, Dean Jiang was stunned.
They said that the purpose of renovating the house with iron gate fences is to guard against theft. They gathered large amount of rice, noodles, oil, and convenience foods are bought and filled in the living room, it is understandable since it was wise to stock up. But what can they do with fish tanks and shrimps at home? They were in a a rural area, or were they building an aquarium?
“On the Internet, it is said that terrorists have thrown the bodies of infected people into the river. Although they have not yet come to our side, we should be prepared. The water will definitely not be clean for some time in the future, and aquatic products will be expensive. I remember, Dean, that you are very good at raising fish…”
Chu Huai didn’t change his expression when explaining this.
Yu Ke, Yuan Haolin, and Tan Xiaojie, who knew the truth next to him, also nodded sharply to help fool the old man.
With that said, Dean Jiang no longer felt entangled. He also paid attention to the news. This epidemic was really scary, and the environment outside had gotten dirtier.
But still, they don’t need to raise so much if they’ll only be eating it themselves!
Looking at the fish tanks and indoor breeding equipment occupying the house, Dean Jiang expressed his inner thoughts. He knows how to raise fish, but they are ones that are stocked in ponds. He doesn’t understand the high-tech way that was used for indoor breeding. This task is too arduous…
Fish farming is a technical skill, especially indoor farming, which involves many professional techniques.
Dean Jiang is no longer idle anymore. He is busy just like everyone, holding his mobile phone and computer all day to learn about indoor fish and shrimp breeding skills, the little old man is still very serious when doing things.
Seeing the apocalypse getting closer, Chu Huai began to feel anxious.

He also gave Yuan Haolin the arrangements for the other trivial preparations in the room, while he and Yu Ke began to learn the painting of amulets and the arranging of formations.

As long as Yu Ke teaches it to him once, he can quickly master it, and the effects of the spells and formations he draws are unexpectedly good.
It’s as if this knowledge was originally his, but now it was just slowly returning to its original owner.
Chu Huai was inwardly horrified and puzzled, but on the outside, he was very calm.
He didn’t tell Yu Ke about this feeling, because he knew that when he said it, Yu Ke would definitely say it had something to do with that ‘Zifang-jun’, and look at him with that kind of look as if he was looking at someone else.
With regard to Yu Ke, he has an indescribable and complex feeling and a strong feeling of possessiveness.
He wants Yu Ke to stick to him, Yu Ke to smile at him, and he has an inexplicable affection for Yu Ke after only a short time of being with him, but he can’t bear it because Yu Ke thinks of him as another person.
He has admitted to himself that this feeling is jealousy. He was jealous of the person who met Yu Ke in advance, even if the other person was an ancient person who had already turned into dust.
The strong emotion gave him the illusion that he wanted to rub the person into his body and imprison him.
This desire to possess almost shocked Chu Huai, feeling that he was a pervert.
But the boy is really so attractive to him.
While these thoughts were in Chu Huai’s mind, he couldn’t say any of these things to Yu Ke, especially when the teenager gets close to him and his heart goes soft.
Fortunately, he is very busy now so he was able to conceal his unusual performance.
Yu Ke’s attention was also attracted by the surrounding environment and spiritual changes, and his well-behaved face often showed a happy and worried expression.
It’s good for the world to regain its aura. This resource-depleted world needs help, but instant recovery is like a sick person who takes medicine too rashly and being unable to stand the effect of the medicine.
There was still a very bad smell in the air, and he didn’t know what it was, he only felt that it was particularly dangerous.
But it doesn’t matter, no matter what the world becomes, as long as there is Huai-jun beside him.
Except for Dean Jiang, the whole family knew about the upcoming apocalypse and couldn’t rest easy as he did.
Yuan Haolin’s Tan Xiaojie, who is as timid as a rabbit, is more clingy than Yu Ke, always holding a computer or a tablet next to Yuan Haolin. He felt as if the sky was falling and he wanted to die together with his lover.
Yuan Haolin is also quite patient with his little lover, so he hugs and comforts him when there is nothing to do, and he can show his affection all day in such a serious and tense atmosphere!
It blinded Dean Jiang and overturned the old man’s three views of life for decades.
It also made Yu Ke extremely envious, staring at the loving couple opposite of Chu Huai and him, pitiful and sour.
“Chu Huai, Brother Yuan is really gentle, he treats Xiaojie well~”
The subtext is that he is not good to him, that he is not gentle to him.
But the relationship between the previous two is like that of husband and wife…
Chu Huai wanted to explain himself, but when he opened his mouth, his words changed, “What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll make it for you.”
When the words fell, he wanted to slap himself.
The boy leaped happily on him, like an octopus- his legs wrapping around his waist, his hands hanging around his neck, licking his lips greedily.
“Kung Pao chicken, fish-flavoured pork shreds, tempeh fish, cold cucumber salad, prawn tofu, crab yellow dumplings, chocolate cake… and if you can’t make it all, Chu Huai-jun, can we keep it for next time?”
After speaking greedily, the boy finally showed hopeful small eyes.
If other people showed him this kind of gaze, Chu Huai would not be moved but when that ‘person’ was replaced by Yu Ke, his hard heart would melt instantly.
His dark eyes softened, thin lips pulled a small smile and he couldn’t help but nod.
“Can I sleep naked next to Huai-jun tonight?”
The smart teenager knows that the best way to seduce is to use bright eyes and active pursuit of welfare.
He didn’t care at all that Tan Xiaojie’s face was flushed, Yuan Haolin was coughing, and Dean Jiang, who had not yet reorganised his life views, sat on the sofa with his hand in his heart and thought about life.
Chu Huai was also very stubborn and angered by a single sentence, he wanted to turn on the computer and post a post asking for help.
Question: What should I do if I have a small man at home who wants to sleep with me anytime and anywhere? I’ll be waiting online, hurry!
Of course, Chu Huai couldn’t answer this question. He could only rely on his self-control to get the person entangled in him off and roll up his sleeves into the kitchen with a wooden face.
Yu Ke was left behind looking pitiful.
In this tense and relaxed atmosphere, the virus infection situation is getting worse.
Now the whole world is in chaos due to the epidemic. The governments of most countries have become decorations. Infected patients are lying in piles in hospitals and homes, while healthy people are looting supplies and wanting to leave their countries.
Even China began being messed up, and many people panicked like headless flies.
Every day, Chu Huai could hear batch after batch of troops passing by outside the community, suppressing the chaos with absolute force.
In terms of food, the government has also sent troops to provide the distribution of goods to prevent the people from looting supplies and causing chaos and stop the gathering of large numbers of people to increase the spread of the virus.
However, despite this, the situation is still not optimistic, and Chu Huai can clearly find that the number of troops sent is getting fewer and fewer.
While receiving the supplies, he inquired about the situation but the army did not respond directly, only saying that other forces had dropped off to help in other places.
Chu Huai naturally didn’t believe this. He guessed that many people in the army were also infected with the virus.
Because these soldiers are running outside every day, no matter how good their protective covers are, the zombie virus would be transmitted. The more people they come in contact with, the more likely they are to be infected.
Chu Huai sighed and felt sorry for these soldiers.
At the same time, Tan Xiaojie has also gotten a lot of information, and the situation is indeed as he thought, many people in the army have also been infected.
The spread of the virus is beyond the control of the government. After the last distribution of supplies, the Chinese government no longer released reports about the virus.
Instead, they began to convey to the people the belief of being strong, self-reliant, solidarity, and mutually helping one another through television and teaching everyone how to respond to emergency situations in various times of crisis.
And under the excuse of “due to the virus infection, many should not go out” as an excuse to teach everyone greenhouse planting techniques and to grow fruits and vegetables to supplement their nutrition.
The purpose is naturally to alleviate the food pressure in the later stage of the apocalypse.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Knowing that after the apocalypse, natural disasters would become even more serious and food cultivation would become a huge problem, the government is now racking its brains to find ways to prepare.
Dean Jiang came from the countryside and is very interested in farming and breeding.
Although they have already built a small greenhouse at home, the old man still actively responded to the call and planted things on both gardens of the house, watering and pulling weeds diligently every day- he was a standard farmer.
Many people in the community have followed the persuasion of the news to act.
The virus has made everyone panic, everyone is now afraid to go out. The government-issued materials are all things like biscuits and instant noodles. Everyone hasn’t eaten fruits and vegetables for a long time. Anyway, it’s okay to plant a little bit of plants as they’re still quite healthy.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who are not aware of the crisis, feel that the virus will pass quickly, and find it troublesome to do these things and did nothing.
Li Hui’s man was one of them. Not only did he refuse to listen to persuasion, but he also wanted to make a fortune, and he sold the food from the small shop stores at their house at a high price.
Li Hui disagreed, and naturally it resulted in another beating and scolding.
In the end, Li Hui had no choice but to pay for these things out of her own pocket, and piled up a few boxes of things from home in the name of a “customer”, asking Chu Huai to help her hide some so that she could use it at a critical moment.
She was not sure whether Chu Huai and the others were reliable, and she even thought that she might not be able to get the things back then, but she really couldn’t help it. Her man was now devoting himself to making a fortune.
Chu Huai didn’t say anything, nodded, and took it. He didn’t mind helping her out.
Afterward, he euphemistically reminded Li Hui that it is best to live separately from her man these days. Her man ran outside to deliver goods every day, and the chance of infection was extremely high.
“I see, thank you, Mr. Chu, we always trouble you.”
Li Hui thanked him with a haggard face. After hiding her things, she went back to her son’s house with the quilt in her arms.
She is not afraid of being infected and dying, but she is afraid that if she dies, no one will take care of her son. Her son is her life.
The virus infection situation got worse and worse, until February 17, the day before the apocalypse, there was a sudden major earthquake around the world.
Fortunately, the main source of the earthquake was in the uninhabited mountains, forests, and rivers. Everyone just felt the vibration and it did not cause the collapse of houses or any major accidents.
Even though the ocean produced huge waves due to the earthquake, it was still far away from the human population, and only a few small waves hit the coast where humans lived.
With the virus still raging, no one cared about the earthquake.
Chu Huai, who had already begun to practice some skills of Taoism, felt that the surrounding air had changed, and an incomparably pure energy spewed out like a volcanic eruption and quickly diffused.
After breathing air in, he couldn’t help but feel inexplicably energetic, and the plants in the gardens of the community have become greener as if they have absorbed nutrients.
Only the infected people lying on the sickbeds curled up and struggled, and died one after another half an hour later.
Thanks for the chapter!
