Chapter 389: Raising a Child in the End of the World and Killing Zombies 3
Hearing Mu's father's question, Sirong and Muchen looked at each other tacitly.
It's normal for Mu's father to have such thoughts.
As a member of the Flower Planting Family, the motto "When in trouble, turn to the country" is ingrained in everyone's bones. Moreover, if the apocalypse really came and zombies were everywhere, who could remain unscathed?
Sirong was the first to speak: "Don't worry, Mom and Dad, we will find a way to pass the news to the country."
She told the elderly couple that the warning about the end of the world came from her prophetic dream. "I think everything that happened in the dream might be because the country didn't receive the news in advance.
This time we issued a warning in advance, and I believe the country will be prepared.
In the original plot, the country did have some awareness, but its judgment was completely wrong.
In the early stages of a zombie outbreak, the symptoms begin with sore throat, followed by a persistent low-grade fever, and finally a high fever that won't go away.
The country mistakenly thought it was a new virus and adopted prevention and control measures similar to those during the mask era.
As a result, when the zombie outbreak occurred on a large scale, the first group of people infected had been isolated in the laboratory, and also in the laboratory were the country's top medical experts.
Although they were wearing protective clothing, that thing was not resistant to bites.
The isolation hospital has limited security forces. When a patient suddenly mutates, by the time reinforcements arrive, there are few survivors in the laboratory.
To make matters worse, faced with zombies that were ineffective even when their limbs were attacked, the guards who hastily responded to the battle also suffered heavy losses, causing the country to lose a large number of scientific research elites.
Mu Chen added at this time: "Mom and Dad, Rongrong and I are just ordinary college students. We have no choice but to serve our country when it needs us. But now, we must ensure the safety of our family first."
He said sincerely, "You two elders, my parents-in-law, and Sirong's grandmother, none of them can be in danger. If anything happens to you, what will Rongrong and I do?"
Mu's mother has shallow tear ducts. Normally, her son cannot say such caring words to her. She just wipes her tears with tears in her eyes.
Sirong continued to comfort him, "After all, it's just a dream of mine now, and we don't have solid evidence for the country to believe.
How about this: we prepare ourselves first, and at the same time post more warnings online.
As long as the country notices it and sends people to investigate, they will definitely be able to find clues. If someone warns in advance, I believe the country will take it seriously.
After hearing what Sirong said, Mu's father could only nod.
They didn't know why they believed what their daughter-in-law said so much. It was just a dream.
How did it get to the point where I had to sell my house and exchange my shop?
But these doubts were miraculously ignored by them.
The family of four quickly turned to practical discussions: how to transfer the store and when to leave for grandma's house.
Sirong and her family live in a city in the north built along the river.
The village where my grandma lives is also backed by a mountain on one side and along a river on the other.
Several people discussed today's itinerary. The old couple packed important things at home, while Muchen and Sirong went to resign and exchange the store.
In the evening, several people went back to the countryside to meet up with Sirong's parents.
Several people sat together, explained the situation clearly, and then considered the next step.
They said there are still two months left, which seems like plenty of time.
In fact, they have a lot to do.
Leaving the housework to the old couple, Muchen drove away with Sirong.
First, go to the real estate agency at the door and find their manager.
I put the two-bedroom apartment at home up for sale and told Manager Zhang that I needed money urgently and the price was negotiable.
Then Muchen took Sirong to an outdoor goods store and submitted her resignation application.
And taking advantage of the internal price, I ordered a large number of alcohol lamps, gas stoves and the like from the store.
We also ordered winter clothes and jackets according to the sizes of our family members, and ordered ten sets for each person.
There is no way. Young couples nowadays have no space and limited money, so they really dare not place orders in large quantities.
Especially things like clothing are not as important as food and water.
After handing over the work, Muchen accompanied Sirong to the nail salon.
Sirong is the boss and sometimes she comes to the store a little late.
The door lock of the nail salon is an electronic combination lock. The two employees in the store will open the door themselves when they come to work in the morning.
After cleaning, I wait in the store for customers to come and do their nails.
When Sirong and the others came over, Xiao Li in the store was already serving customers.
When Sister Liu heard Sirong say that she wanted to sell the store, she also started to think about the next step and talked with Sirong for a long time.
They have a lot of business in their shop. They do manicures, eyelash extensions, and even color painting for customers.
The monthly turnover is not small, and Sister Liu is an experienced worker. After taking over the store, she and Xiao Li can manage it temporarily.
Plus the prices at Sirong Exchange are really tempting.
Everything in the shop, including the rent, only costs 6 yuan, which is much cheaper than other nail salons.
You know, the rent for this store will not expire for another eight months.
In other words, Sirong only asked for less than 5 yuan for all the equipment in the store.
Even though it's just a nail salon, one or two bottles of nail polish don't cost much.
But there are also various beauty instruments, plus the decoration of the store, so the money required is really substantial.
Most importantly, Sirong's store has a very stable customer base.
Sister Liu calculated in her mind that she could earn back the money she lost in the exchange store in about half a year.
Moreover, Sirong had some friendship with the landlord of this shop, so when she rented the house, she signed a ten-year contract.
This is so that the landlord doesn't raise the rent.
There is no way, storefronts in small cities are not particularly easy to rent.
If the property remains vacant for half a year and cannot be rented out, it would be better to sign a long-term contract to save yourself the trouble.
Besides, the landlord has several stores at home. Sirong and her daughter are best friends, and she is also happy to open a nail salon in her own house.
As long as the house was clean and not damaged, and she was an elder, she gave Sirong some concessions.
The landlord lives upstairs from the shop, and normally has a good relationship with Sister Liu.
If she were to sell the shop, the landlord probably wouldn't say anything.
Knowing that Sister Liu wanted to take over the nail salon, Sirong didn't say anything. This was convenient, and the two agreed to complete the handover procedures the day after tomorrow.
Sirong and the others are going back to the countryside in the evening, and Sister Liu also needs to make some preparations. If we make an appointment for tomorrow, the time will be a bit tight.
After dealing with these things, it was just past noon.
Sirong called home and asked her parents not to cook anymore and to pack some food to take back later.
While the restaurant was preparing the meal, Sirong and Muchen looked at each other and walked into the Internet cafe next door tacitly.
The two chose a location in a corner, avoiding the surveillance cameras, and skillfully turned on and logged in.
