I became a farmer in the apocalypse.

Her arms were sore from carrying all that stuff the whole way.

But no matter how hard it is, it's all worth it when you think about the rewards later.

The mother and son neatly laid out their stall cloth.

The next second, a woman rushed over, shouting, "This is the stall I saw first! Don't try to take it!"

The woman was thin but fierce, shoving the mother and son aside and shrieking:

"I saw this open space from afar; this is my spot!"

Liu Qing frowned and looked at the woman, "How can you be so unreasonable? I was the one who came here first."

The woman was extremely arrogant, saying, "I saw it first!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman's husband came over; he was a man with a fierce look on his face.

Upon arriving, he glared at Liu Qing and urged, "Hurry up and take your things away; this is our spot!"

"Why should I leave?" Liu Qing clenched her fists, unwilling to accept it. "I was here first."

Upon hearing this, the man roared, "You're not getting out of here? Believe me or I'll chop you up!"

This roar startled Liu Qing and Wei Zhou quite a bit.

Looking at the fierce look on the man's face, Liu Qing hesitated.

When she's out and about, she's used to avoiding arguments, especially in the apocalypse, because she has no idea what some people might do when they're pushed to their limits.

Besides, she has a child to take care of.

Liu Qing didn't want to provoke them, so she swallowed her anger and said to Wei Zhou, "Zhouzhou, let's go and find another place."

Wei Zhou clenched her small fists, looked at the man, and gritted her teeth.

He knew his mother was only putting up with it because she didn't want to provoke the other party. He blamed himself for being useless, for not growing up enough, and for not being able to protect his mother.

If only he were really powerful, no one would dare to bully him and his mother.

Just as I was thinking this, suddenly, a middle-aged man's indignant and spirited voice rang out beside me:

"What kind of man are you, bullying a woman in broad daylight?"

The person speaking was the owner of the stall next door, a tall, middle-aged man who sold knives.

He protested, "This mother and child clearly occupied this spot first, so what right do you have to kick them out?"

The thin woman's husband immediately glared at the knife stall owner who had spoken, "What's it to you? Mind your own business!"

"You're arguing and making a scene, it's all my fault for doing business! How can you say it has nothing to do with me?"

"What? You want to fight?"

"Then why don't you give it a try!"

The two men started arguing and were about to fight.

Finally, the knife vendor, enraged, grabbed a kitchen knife and charged at them, yelling, "Come on! Don't run! I'll chop you all to death!"

The couple were so frightened when they saw the gleaming cleaver being swung towards them that they turned and ran away, their faces pale.

"Murder! Run! Murder is happening!"

The man who had been so fierce just moments before was now running faster than anyone else, abandoning his wife completely.

Li Tianlei watched them run away, slammed the cleaver down on the cutting board, then looked at Liu Qing and her son, whose faces were also deathly pale, and said with a composed expression, "Don't be afraid, I was just scaring them! That's how you deal with these kinds of people."

"I deliberately acted impulsively just now, and they really thought I was going to chop someone up. Look, they ran faster than anyone else."

Liu Qing chuckled.

It turned out to be the case.

Li Tianlei then said, "I saw you selling potatoes yesterday, are you here to sell potatoes again today?"

Liu Qing was taken aback. "You saw me yesterday?"

Li Tianlei nodded, "Yes, I set up a stall diagonally across from yours yesterday."

Liu Qing hadn't noticed at all.

"Thank you for earlier."

Li Tianlei smiled and said, "It's alright, just focus on your stall."

……

"Brother Chen, look at these dolls I made! Aren't they cute?"

Qiu Mei excitedly showed Chen Jiqi her new style.

She made this after staying up all night for several days in a row.

Although it's tough, the thought of being able to sell them in the wealthy neighborhood and live a good life like Jiang Tang makes it all worthwhile.

Chen Jiqi inspected it and found that the workmanship had improved considerably compared to before.

However, it is still somewhat inferior to Jiang Tang's.

However, selling them shouldn't be a problem.

"Qiu Mei, you're great, you've made great progress," Chen Jiqi praised.

He knew that Qiu Mei was a smart and down-to-earth woman who would do anything well.

This praise made Qiu Mei's face turn rosy.

"Brother Chen, please don't do this—"

The two exchanged glances for a while before remembering they still had to set up their stall. So they flagged down a tricycle and got on hand in hand.

"Brother Chen, let's buy a tricycle sometime. Look at these tricycles, they're so convenient and stylish!"

In fact, Chen Jiqi was also planning to do this; once he accumulated some points, he should buy a nice car for his family.

The most practical vehicle is the tricycle, which can carry people and goods, and is also suitable for small businesses.

The two sat in the tricycle, their hearts filled with anticipation for the future.

"arrive."

The tricycle driver stopped the vehicle.

Qiu Mei and Chen Jiqi carried the things they needed for setting up their stall, got out of the car, paid 10 points for the taxi fare, and headed towards the entrance of Zone 1.

Jiang Tang entered through this channel before.

Once inside, the view suddenly opened up!

The wide, clean main roads and impressive, brand-new buildings are unlike the always dirty shelters in Zones 4 and 5. The exterior walls of the buildings here are spotless and as clean as new!

The spacing between buildings is almost the same as before the apocalypse, and the buildings are generally low, like small villas!

The women coming and going were all dressed very elegantly and wore makeup. The cosmetics they used were obviously imported from other bases, because the Ninth Base did not produce cosmetics at all.

As she walked and looked around, Qiu Mei's eyes widened in amazement.

"Brother Chen, I really want to live in a neighborhood like this!"

Even Chen Jiqi's expression subtly changed as he looked at the scene inside.

He had always thought of himself as someone who was content with the status quo, but how could he not yearn for something so beautiful?

"Qiu Mei, there's a kindergarten there!" he exclaimed incredulously.

In the post-apocalyptic world, education has been completely neglected in the development of the base. Newborn children who want to learn can only do so by reading pre-apocalyptic learning materials online.

This kindergarten is probably newly built, and only children in Zone 1 can attend.

Chen Jiqi clenched his fists, and for the first time, he felt a strong urge to settle down in Zone 1!

But the smallest apartment here is 80 square meters, and the cheapest one starts at four million points...

Buying them is not a realistic option.

Chen Jiqi clenched his fist. "Qiu Mei, if I work hard and can get a job at the hospital in Zone One, I can get talent resettlement compensation. With a few more points, I can exchange my house and settle down here!"

Perfect timing! Once he moves into Zone 1, he'll see with his own eyes how Jiang Tang regrets it!

She divorced him and abandoned him back then. After the divorce, he wanted Jiang Tang to see for herself how he was making a name for himself!

Thinking of all this, Chen Jiqi was more motivated than ever before!

Qiu Mei was overjoyed, never expecting to be able to move into Zone 1 through this method. "Brother Chen, you're amazing!"

Once she marries Chen Ji and moves into the house in Zone 1, that bitch Jiang Tang will definitely regret it to the core.

However, for now, we still need to get the stall setup sorted out and get through this difficult period.

Qiu Mei put down the things she used for setting up her stall.

"Brother Chen, let's do it here. There's a kindergarten right here. When the kids come out after school, they'll definitely come and buy my dolls."

Chen Jiqi nodded and set up the stall with Qiu Mei.

I had just finished setting everything up when the kindergarten children were dismissed.

The children were delighted to see people setting up stalls in the distance.

"You limp leg, run faster! The pretty lady is coming!"

"I absolutely have to take a picture with her today!"

"I've saved up so many points! I want to buy Pikachu! My sister said there will be Pikachu this time!"

"Really? I want to buy an Ultraman! I bought Ultraman Tiga last time, this time I want to buy Ultraman Zero."

"Tch! I already have Ultraman Tiga and Ultraman Zero, not only that, I also have Ultraman Dyna, Ultraman Gaia, Ultraman Leo..."

The chubby little boy stopped running and simply stood still, starting to count Ultraman on his fingers one by one.

Another child stopped in his tracks, looking at him with shining eyes. "Wow! You're amazing! Have you collected all the Ultramen?"

The chubby boy shook his head. "That's still a long way off! But if I buy two Ultraman toys a week, one day I'll collect them all!"

As the two were chatting, they realized they were all alone. They turned around and found that everyone had run away.

"Hey! Don't run away! Please, don't steal my Ultraman Seven! o(>﹏<)o"
