Chapter 226: Spring
"Thank you."
"Ah? Oh, you're welcome."
"Thank you for saving all of us, otherwise we might all die, thank you so much."
"…………"
Mofang didn't say anything. Judging from her mental fluctuations, Zhang Xiaowen was a little sad now. She must be thinking about her family in H Province. Mofang couldn't find any suitable words to comfort her and could only remain silent.
"It's so annoying... The wind on the mountain is so strong that I squinted my eyes..."
Zhang Xiaowen kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, and pretended that nothing happened. Her eyes were red.
"Mofang..."
"Yeah, I'm here."
Suddenly, Mofang felt something in his arms. He looked down and saw that Zhang Xiaowen was hugging him tightly.
"…………"
After thinking about it, Mofang still reached out to hug Zhang Xiaowen and turned on the metal heating, gradually using weak energy to calm Zhang Xiaowen's somewhat sad mood.

Xiao Jing, who was standing at the back, took this beautiful photo with a camera. The four evil cats were not there, and the four guys who had long noticed the bad situation sneaked away. In the ancient style picture, there were only Mofang and Zhang Xiaowen, and time seemed to be frozen at this moment.
…………
New Year's Eve.
Compared with the survivors who were lingering around the world, the New Year's Eve in Longshan Camp was rich and comfortable. At least there were no zombies wandering outside the door, and no mutant animals were always trying to take them away. All they needed to do was eat rare snacks and dumplings. There were no firecrackers, only colorful fireworks without explosions to watch. The whole world was dark, and only Longshan Camp lit up the lights to stay up all year round.
Five high-altitude drones are on duty in the sky at all times of the day and night, and ground combat robots patrol back and forth, so everyone can sleep safely...
On the first day of the new year, Mofang generously gave Xiaojing a golden fish that he had shaped himself, Jiajia was a golden rabbit, and Zhang Xiaowen got a golden coffee table. Anyway, this thing was placed in the vault and no one touched it. The order of the end of the world collapsed and gold and silver became waste. It was a good thing to use it for psychological comfort. Wow~ a big piece of gold, it was comfortable to look at.
From the Chinese New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Mofang had nothing to do every day and played with Xiaojing every day.
The second day after the Lantern Festival.
The whole Longshan camp was quiet. Most people stayed up late last night and were still sleeping in the early morning. Xiaojing lay on Zhang Xiaowen's belly and drooled, but Zhang Xiaowen didn't feel anything at all and slept unconsciously. Jiajia slept alone in the small bed, holding Zhang Xiaowen's plush rabbit in her arms, and the plush rabbit was shiny.
Mofang gently pushed the door open, fearing that he would make a little noise and wake up the whole group of people.
He tiptoed outside the door, and four big cats surrounded him, rubbing against Mofang and meowing. Mofang had to squat down and touch his head and scratch his chin one by one. Maybe the four big cats saw that Mofang was going out for a while, so they were reluctant to let him go. The big cats who followed Mofang to Longshan Camp made great contributions to the camp, and most of the mutant carnivores around were driven away. There is a saying in the camp: As long as the four evil people are here, you will not die for the time being.
"Take good care of the house and the children. It will take me some time to come back. Don't cause trouble."
The four big cats decisively filtered out the last sentence, which was simply a lack of trust in the cat's character, which was quite boring.
Kaka! The wheel propellers were ready, and the blades began to rotate rapidly. The thrust blew the snowflakes and made it difficult to see. The Rubik's Cube adjusted its posture to increase the thrust and flew high. After it reached a sufficient height in the air, it lowered its head and flew towards the city. On the ground, four cat heads emerged from the snow. They looked at the black spots in the sky that were gradually getting smaller, and walked into the forest with their tails shaking...
Since the wheel propellers had little effect, the Rubik's Cube did not fly very fast, and the time spent was not much different from driving.
This time, the Rubik's Cube planned to absorb metal as much as possible to upgrade as soon as possible. Anyway, there were basically no living people in Jiangcheng at present. It was better to absorb more metal before the heavy snow melted and nothing could be done. Bypassing the city, the Rubik's Cube went straight to the southern industrial park, where there was a lot of metal to absorb. Anyway, no one wanted the factory, and the boss had long been a zombie. What was the point of not absorbing it? At most, he would shout a few words before absorbing it.
After flying to the industrial park, he found a factory with a lot of steel and landed on the steel...
Longshan Camp
Zhang Xiaowen didn't wake up until after nine o'clock. After seeing the message from the Rubik's Cube, she cursed a few words, picked up Xiaojing and went to wash and brush her teeth.
Days passed one by one. There was nothing to do except training. The main work was done by robots. The only thing that could be done in a short time was to change the magazines of the guard robots. Before the snow melted, there was nothing to do. With nothing to do, she simply set up a Longshan School. Children or students who wanted to learn could come. The engineering robot with no work was pulled by Zhang Xiaowen to be a teacher. The high school students said that this guy could do all the questions, and it was standard.
The weather gradually warmed up, and everyone could feel the warm sunshine.
The ice and snow began to melt, and the mountain spring icefall melted and the stream water increased. The three puppies who were about to grow up ran around and had fun. People often washed winter quilts and cotton clothes by the stream, and put them away after drying for the next winter.
Zhang Xiaowen stared at the calendar in a daze all day. Since the Rubik's Cube left for more than two months, no information has been sent back. If the drone had not frequently visited the industrial park and found that the Rubik's Cube was stable, Zhang Xiaowen would really suspect that it had crashed. She even thought that the Rubik's Cube must be secretly planning to build a spaceship to fly back to the alien planet and never come back.
Through the real-time images of the high-altitude drone, it can be seen that the industrial park has changed a lot. The originally neat workshop sheds are all lying on the ground, and the steel frames and machines are nowhere to be seen. In Wang Nan's words, the metal here has run away by itself, and all that is left are synthetic materials such as plastics. The industrial park built by Jiangcheng officials in several years has since become an alien disaster site park.
In a pile of steel, a faint blue energy halo flickered slightly, and the steel was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Time flies.
Another month has passed. The accumulated snow has turned into snow water to nourish the earth. Many plants have sprouted. The warm air has begun to move northward on a large scale. The wind blows continuously every day. Fires often occur in the urban area of Jiangcheng for various reasons. The natural gas that has not been emitted happily joins the ranks of burning. Every day, the pictures sent back by drones are either black smoke or fire. The wind helps the fire, and many buildings have become crooked and dangerous.
The national highway and the edge of the road have not been cleaned up. Many big trees and small grasses have sprouted and the edge of the asphalt road has been damaged. Various animals have begun to invade the edge of Jiangcheng and fight fiercely with zombies.
In the industrial park, the magic cube that has been silent for three months has finally stopped absorbing. In the center of the machine at the chest, a small group of light blue flames are shaking slightly in a round blue transparent sphere. This is a super optical computer composed of energy and metal, or... Fire, from falling to the earth until today, it has finally reached the level of Transformers!
