Chapter 218: Chapter 096: When It Rolls Up, Everyone Is Afraid_5

Learning must not be neglected.

The end of the world is indeed dangerous, but he still thought that they should handle the danger; the children only needed to study hard. As for life skills, they could learn them by observing and doing in their everyday lives.

Old Master Wang said, "You’ll have to ask your Teacher Liang about that."

Lin Fan looked at Teacher Liang.

Grandma Liang said, "Sure, setting up a special classroom is also possible. Our community’s children might increase in number, so having a spacious classroom is a good thing."

Lin Fan said, "Then I will take care of this matter."

Gu Hang said, "I’ll do it."

Chen He said, "I’ll help as well."

Qi Sheng said, "I’m in too."

These few made their intentions clear: they really didn’t want to idle around because idling would make them seem useless.

...

...

Prison.

"Thank you." A man sat down beside He Mingxuan, expressing his gratitude. They had gone out to collect supplies and unexpectedly encountered zombies. Just when he thought he would die, this unimpressive fat man had actually saved his life.

He Mingxuan gnawed on the dry bread, "It’s nothing, we’re all trying to survive. Naturally, I wouldn’t ignore someone in trouble."

He spoke calmly, as if he were kind-hearted, but in reality he was gathering people around him, trying to build his own network of connections. He felt that the prison was truly dangerous; people like them were no more than ants, ready to die at any moment.

The man said, "With your physique being so overweight, I think you should really lose some weight. I used to be a fitness coach, and I think I can show you some effective ways to slim down."

"You... a fitness coach?" He Mingxuan looked at the man’s frail figure, which didn’t match the image of a fitness trainer at all.

The man replied helplessly, "The gym was my dad’s. I learned some fitness routines so I could hook up with some housewives, and they did have some effect."

He Mingxuan: ...

The man also nibbled on his bread and said, "I see you’ve gotten quite close to Miao Yi, that kid’s always coming to find you to play and brings you tasty food."

"Yeah, what about it?" He Mingxuan felt Miao Yi was a good kid, one he could accept. Perhaps a kind-hearted child could reach even the most belligerent and malicious person’s heart with sincerity.

After a moment of silence, the man advised, "I’d suggest you don’t get too close to him. His sister is Chen Zhiyong’s woman, and once Chen Zhiyong gets tired of her, he’ll pass her off to others below him. As far as I know, no woman survives that. Eventually, Miao Yi will definitely be dealt with too. Since you’re so close to him, I’m afraid it might bring trouble to you as well. The kid’s coming this way now, give it some thought."

He got up, patted He Mingxuan on the shoulder, and added, "Actually, everyone who just arrived in prison got food from Miao Yan, but no one’s going to stand up for her. The people here, including you and me, we’re already not normal. To stay alive, we’re willing to do anything, and we can ignore anything that happens."

Watching the man walk away, He Mingxuan remained silent, then shook his head and chuckled. What’s it to me? I, He Mingxuan, am a big complainer, the kind of person who finds everyone annoying, how could I possibly...

"Brother Mingxuan, here you go." Miao Yi, smiling, handed a carton of milk to He Mingxuan. "My sister gave it to me. I drank half and there’s still half left."

He Mingxuan looked at the Miao Yi standing in front of him and then at the milk, "Why give it to me? You drink it."

"I just wanted to give it to you." Miao Yi’s smile was brilliant.

"Why would you just want to?"

Miao Yi said, "Because you’re like my brother-in-law, chubby and cute, a bit greasy, but really similar."

Dammit.

Autumn knife slicing fish, He Mingxuan’s inner turmoil was intense. Why didn’t I meet you guys during peaceful times? Could it be because I watched too many hot dance videos on the APP, so I didn’t pay attention to those around me?

He Mingxuan took the milk. As he drank it, he thought about what that guy had said. The milk in his hand might have been obtained by his sister in exchange for something. He finished it in one gulp, stood up, cursed silently, and patted Miao Yi on the head.

"Go play, I’m going to lose weight."

He truly wanted to lose weight.

He didn’t want to continue as he was. The next supply collection was in five days, and during this time, all he wanted to do was lose weight properly. As the end of the world approached, his heart had already begun to change silently, becoming more restrained and low-key. No one was a fool; even a fool would be smartened up a lot by the harsh environment around them.

Touching the dagger at his waist.

He felt slightly reassured.

...

...

Tang Island.

The outer residential area of the estate housed the survivors who had returned with Tang Jiayu.

Tang Li hadn’t allowed them to live inside the estate.

This group of survivors was a mixed bunch, not to mention in these apocalyptic times, who could know what they might be thinking.

What Tang Li had planned for them was this: it was okay to provide them with food, but they had to work. With this small island as their development area, they had to utilize their abilities and not think about sitting around waiting to die—no one would keep useless people alive.

Outer residential area.

A young man by the name Tian Yi was among those who had followed Tang Jiayu back.

He was quite dissatisfied with his current living environment.

He wanted to live inside the manor, to take advantage of the good food and drink. Being given only white rice and vegetables was hardly nutritious, but every time he thought about heading to the manor, he would be stopped by the bodyguards.

He couldn’t understand what those bodyguards were thinking.

With their level of combat prowess, why couldn’t they just revolt? The fighting capability of Tang Li and his family of three wasn’t that intimidating.
