The end of the world: I am linked to a mobile lottery store

Chapter 637 Happy New Year!
Everyone thought it made perfect sense, so they stopped guarding the shop and went back to clean it.

The purification plan has been progressing relatively smoothly these days.

Thanks to the medicine that simulated human flesh and blood provided by Lu Li, the zombies were successfully gathered together.

After spraying a purifying agent and waiting ten minutes, these zombies will turn back into humans.

But having just turned back into humans, they are still very unaccustomed to it, and most of them have even forgotten how to speak Mandarin.

Adaptation is a long process.

These humans also need to be incorporated into the central base and cannot be left to roam freely.

Otherwise, if a zombie catches you and bites you again, wouldn't all your efforts be wasted?
Perhaps the humans' movements were too large, inadvertently attracting the attention of the zombie community, and they have learned to avoid their attacks.

They all ordered their underlings not to wander around unnecessarily, lest they not be able to come back.

Despite this, the number of zombies that were purified was still astonishing.

While purification is underway here, the vegetable garden is also bustling with activity, as batches of superhumans come to study.

This is in preparation for the subsequent annihilation of high-level zombies.

The quarantine plan is also underway, and a large area has been initially identified as the territory after the zombies.

That is, the southwest of China, is open, with few people and few buildings.

The territory was settled, all that was left was to pack up the zombies and dump them there; the next step was the hardest.

In the past ten days or so, the lottery shop has also produced several first-prize winners.

In short, no one was idle; everyone was quietly moving forward.

Time is also.

December 31st arrived, the last day of the ten-year apocalypse.

In the afternoon, Lu Li called Shen Laowu and the others to come to the RV to celebrate the New Year together.

He also instructed He Luo to bring Tuan Tuan and Liu Chenchen (He Luo's lover).

Upon hearing this, they were all somewhat dazed. Chinese New Year? They hadn't heard those two words in a long time.

He Luo suddenly realized that this girl had been planning this all along and had been keeping it to herself.

Since there were too many shop owners, Lu Li arranged for them to have their New Year's Eve dinner at a hot pot restaurant.

They only called out to Liu Xinru and Su Xu, Shen Bing, Luo Mu, Chu Lisheng, Wang Yang, Zong Xia, and Sheng Xian—six little brats.

Also present were Liu Zhizhi and Lin Jun, who came from the Flower Blooming Base and the Southwest Base.

These are all people that Lu Li wants to spend the Lunar New Year with.

She also put away the sofa and bought a large wooden round table with a glass turntable on it.

Lu Li counted, there were twenty-four people, just enough to sit.

When Elder Shen and the others arrived, they found the scene to be quite lively.

The RV has been completely renovated, with many places decorated with upside-down "福" (Fu, meaning good fortune) characters in bright red.

Meaning: Good fortune has arrived!
Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the kitchen door and the toilet door, and red lanterns were hung under the eaves of the RV.

The three rows of shops not far away all had similar decorations.

Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the door, red lanterns hung under the eaves, and even the streetlights had upside-down "福" (good fortune) characters pasted on them.

It looks festive, just like the New Year is coming.

They stood outside the RV, watching for a long time, and Old Shen's eyes became slightly moist.

As the wind blew, he lowered his head to wipe away his tears, and when he looked up again, his eyes were full of smiles.

They got into the RV and found the kitchen bustling with activity.

The kitchen was large, but it was so crowded that there wasn't even room to stand.

Lu Li sat happily in the chair, and waved cheerfully when she saw the group of people coming.

"Old Shen~" Lu Li called out happily, "Come and eat some sunflower seeds~"

On the dining table were several kinds of melon seeds and peanuts, as well as various festive and delicious candies.

There were also some pistachios, pine nuts, macadamia nuts, and all sorts of nuts.

These are the New Year's goods, meant to entertain guests. He Luo was holding his daughter's hand, with his wife beside him. Seeing these things on the table, he was quite moved.

"Sister Chenchen is here, come sit down and let's eat some sunflower seeds together. You guys sit down too, what are you standing for?" Lu Li greeted.

Liu Yu then pointed to the kitchen, feigning interest, and asked, "Do you need any help?"

Lu Li saw through her act and laughed, "Do you think you can still stand here?"

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Then I'll reluctantly sit down and have some sunflower seeds."

Xiao Di and the other kids, including Da Dong, were watching TV on the side, and they simply laid out a carpet and sat on the floor.

He Tuantuan is naturally outgoing; she went straight over, waved, and smoothly joined the group watching TV.

The kitchen was packed with Shen Bing and six others, plus Lin Jun, making a total of seven people.

Liu Zhizhi went to find Liu Xinru and Su Xu, and will come back later.

Inside the RV, everything was peaceful and serene.

Kids watching TV, adults chatting, men cooking, a festive atmosphere.

It feels just like Chinese New Year.

Old Shen stared at the "Fu" character inside the RV, seemingly frozen in time, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Others noticed but didn't disturb them; it's normal for them to occasionally reminisce about the past.

Soon, night fell, dozens of dishes were served, and everyone arrived and took their seats.

The dining table features a wide variety of cuisines, including Sichuan, Hunan, and Cantonese dishes...

Spicy, non-spicy, in soup, fried, stir-fried, steamed, boiled—the variety is dazzling, and the aroma is delightful.

Each person also had their favorite drink nearby.

And so began a rather unusual New Year's Eve dinner.

"Cheers~" Lu Li raised her iced tea and smiled, without saying any grand words, just two simple words.

Everyone raised their glasses, but because the table was too big to clink glasses, they could only clink them with the people next to them as a token of their appreciation.

After finishing our drinks, we started eating.

The turntable spins automatically, so there's no need to worry about awkward moments like when you're picking up food and I'm turning the table.

When a dish is presented to you, just pick it up and see what happens; there's no question of whether it tastes good or not, or whether you like it or not.

They're all delicious, I like them all, I love them, they're so good, I'll eat more of them.

Shen Bing and Luo Mu sat together, drinking alcohol, which they hadn't expected.

They really did get to celebrate the New Year.

It seems that after meeting Boss Lu, life has gotten better and better, and I have more and more hope for the future.

The TV was playing the previous Spring Festival Gala, and the music was very festive.

I glance at the TV every now and then, then at the dish that's been turned to my face, and then at the person I care about.

Everyone enjoyed the meal.

When they were almost finished eating, Lu Li said to the system: "[You can start the system now.]"

[You've never put that kind of thought into me.] The system said jealously.

Lu Li: [I spend money on you every day, and you still don't put in the effort?]

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of sharp screeching sounds rang out from outside the RV.

Everyone was startled and looked outside, thinking it was a terrorist attack.

But then they saw streaks of golden light shooting upwards with sharp cries, only to explode with a deafening roar upon reaching the sky.

In an instant, thousands of streams of fire surged and scattered, like golden chrysanthemums in full bloom, like tassels hanging down, turning the entire sky into a magnificent gallery of ever-changing colors.

These are... fireworks.

People spontaneously left their seats to get a better view.

The pitch-black night sky is its perfect canvas, with golden light splashed and silver lines flowing.
