"Dear viewers, it is now 7:00 PM Beijing time on November 16th. Welcome to watch today's news broadcast. First of all, we bring you the latest news about the mutated rabies virus." According to the latest information released by the Ministry of National Defense, our brave soldiers have started to enter major cities and engage in fierce battles with infected individuals.
According to our sources, the progress of our military is good, and we have recaptured most of the major transportation hubs and major cities. At the same time, wartime control measures are being implemented at key road points. The spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense, xx, expressed the hope that the trapped masses will not panic and flee, but stay in place, wait for the rescue and evacuation of the People's Liberation Army, and avoid making irrational actions.
At the same time, the spokesperson of the Supreme Court reiterated once again that in our country, possessing firearms and all other controlled knives are illegal, and the police and military have the right to shoot and kill those who possess weapons... Chen Wenwen's attention was clearly not on the television, but on Huan Chu, who was busy in the kitchen, occasionally letting out a few chuckles.
Huan Chu was busy in the kitchen with pots and pans, while listening attentively to the news on the TV in the living room. Just by looking at his furrowed brow, it was clear that he was very displeased with the exaggerated reports on the news broadcast. After putting the beef on the cutting board into the pot, Huan Chu finally couldn't stand it anymore and exclaimed loudly, "Change the channel." "
Chen Wenwen looked at Huan Chu's furrowed brows, chuckled lightly, and even performed a few jumps on the stage, all with similar content. Chen Wenwen also seemed dissatisfied, after thinking for a while, she directly switched to channel 99 with the remote control, which was a TV station from Taiwan.
The host on the TV looked a bit flustered, but still managed to report the news: "Currently, almost the entire island of our country has fallen, and government agencies and the military have retreated to Ali Mountain to defend. We hope that the majority of uninfected people will quickly enter safe areas to avoid the disaster." After a brief pause, a director hurriedly ran to the host's podium and handed a document to the host, who began to read aloud: 'We have just received news that there has been a significant breakthrough in the negotiations between the Taiwan government and the mainland. In the coming days, the military forces from the Fujian Military Region of the mainland will arrive in Taiwan to assist in evacuating the people, trying to relocate the Taiwanese people to the mainland for refuge.' However, it is understood that the situation within the mainland is not as optimistic as the government had previously imagined. Due to the huge population base and density, most major cities on the mainland have now fallen. The mainland government is preparing to evacuate the surviving population...
Huan Chu relaxed his brows, not at all intimidated by the description of the situation in the mainland on TV. Instead, he hummed a tune while cooking. Chen Wenwen was visibly surprised by the news from the Taiwanese TV station. She hurried into the kitchen and was about to ask when she saw Huan Chu Chao pursing his lips at the small dishes on the marble cabinet and saying, "Take the dishes out, we'll talk during dinner." "
Chen Wenwen had to hold back her words and obediently carried the dishes out, sitting on the sofa sullenly watching Huan Chu still busy in the kitchen. Huan Chu seemed completely unaware of the burning gaze behind him, calmly finishing the last dish of carrot stir-fried beef, scooping two bowls of rice from the electric rice cooker, and then slowly placing the meal on the coffee table.
I just don't understand why you have so much food at home, yet you still have to take such a big risk to go out and find something to eat. Huan Chu picked up some food for himself and then stuffed the queen's words back into her mouth.
Can't I be a good mother if I can't cook? The queen glared at Huan Chu and also picked up a few pieces of beef to put in her mouth, chewing fiercely as if she was chewing on Huan Chu. But he found that Huan Chu's dishes were quite delicious. He looked at Huan Chu in surprise, as if he couldn't believe it, and even picked up a few other side dishes to taste carefully.
When Huan Chu is at home, his father has always been the one cooking, claiming to be able to rival the head chefs of high-end restaurants. Huan Chu also received his father's true teachings, and after several years of honing his skills during his life as a homebody, he was able to cook a few simple dishes quite skillfully. Compared to the dishes in restaurants with all sorts of strange ingredients, his dishes were indeed much more delicious.
Chen Wenwen hastily swallowed the last piece of food in her mouth, and found Huanchu across from her chewing slowly and looking at her with a smile that was not a smile. She couldn't help but snort and said, "What are you looking at? Can't I be hungry?" "
Okay, okay. I feel honored when beautiful women appreciate and enjoy the dishes I cook! Chen Wenwen stared at Huan Chu carefully after listening, confirmed his sincere expression without any hint of joking, nodded in satisfaction, and then asked seriously, "How do you see the news just now?" "
Huan Chu took a bite of rice and replied, "Hmm, the news broadcast is too fake, the Taiwan side's statement should be true." "
Why are you so calm about this? Chen Wenwen was quite unhappy, and Huan Chu remained calm. The queen's blood, which had been quiet for a while, was ignited again. She exploded, saying, "You f*cking b*stard, if you don't explain clearly, I'll make you regret it today." "
Huan Chu seemed to have gotten used to Chen Wenwen's emotional fluctuations, swallowing the food in his mouth and not putting down his chopsticks. He replied directly, "First of all, there's no point in being anxious here. Why not calm down and enjoy the brief moments of happiness." "
Seeing Chen Wenwen about to lose her temper again, Huan Chu immediately put a few pieces of green vegetables in her bowl, saying "Eating more vegetables is good for your health", and continued to explain, "Secondly, you should trust the efficiency of our government. From the news just now, it seems that the government has just issued a notice to prepare for the mass evacuation. Combined with the CCTV news urging people not to go out and starting to implement military control at key traffic points, it can be seen that the government is indeed planning a large-scale evacuation. But think about it, just in the capital alone, there must be at least several hundred thousand people who have survived. Such a large-scale emergency evacuation is not that easy. Based on my estimation, it will probably take at least three to five days before it can begin. In more remote areas, it may take a week to urge all residents to evacuate. "
Huan Chu took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and continued, "Thirdly, we have basically confirmed that the current refuge gathering place of the capital is in Shijingshan, not far from us. I will definitely be able to send you there in time, so you won't miss the evacuation. So, rest assured, Your Majesty." "
After speaking, Huan Chu continued to eat his meal heartily. Although Chen Wenwen felt a little annoyed when Huan Chu described his nervousness as fearing it would affect his escape plan, she still thought he had a point. She generously decided not to argue with him and lowered her head to focus on the battle with the vegetables.
After a day of intense exercise, the two of them ate much faster, and Huanchu walked to the French window, lit a cigarette, and quietly looked at the night view outside the window. In the end-time Beijing, unlike before, the city was not brightly lit. Only a few scattered windows stubbornly glowed with light, and it was unclear whether there were survivors inside or if the owners had left or died, forgetting to turn off the lights.
At this moment, the beauty beside him handed him an open bottle of beer. Huan Chu took a few sips and said, "Go to bed early and rest well to recover and rejuvenate." "
And you? "
I'll have a smoke before going to bed. "
Where should I sleep? "
"Of course it's the sofa, can I sleep with you instead?" "
The beauty scoffed, "A dog can't change its nature," and then leisurely went upstairs with a beer in hand. It was not until Chen Wenwen's footsteps gradually faded away that Huan Chu's expression changed from a carefree demeanor to one of deep fatigue.
Anyway, he is just a young man in his early twenties. The burden of struggling for survival and finding parents to go home with for two people seems to weigh a little heavy on him. In front of Chen Wenwen, he must show a firm belief in the girl and always display a confident and assured demeanor as if he has a winning hand. But once he returned to being alone, he had to reveal deep frustration and confusion. Huan Chu took a deep drag of his cigarette, then extinguished it and casually tossed the butt into the nearby trash can. He then lay back on the sofa, letting his mind wander once again.
On the second floor, Chen Wenwen was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she would either encounter the roaring of zombies rushing towards her, or see the civilians she had seen on the road being eaten by zombies, dragging their broken bodies in front of her, wailing and asking her why she didn't save them. For a long time, Chen Wenwen tossed and turned in bed, but she couldn't fall asleep at all. Instead, a sense of horror kept creeping up on her in the empty bedroom.
Wenwen Chen became more and more afraid to fall asleep. She turned on the light and climbed up from the bed, stepped on the slippers and ran to the stairs. She shouted at Huan Chu on the sofa, "Hey, are you asleep? "
Huan Chu, who was about to enter her dream, was awakened by her shout. She turned over and faced Chen Wenwen, who was looking down at her, and said helplessly, "I was sleeping so soundly and you had to wake me up with your shout... What's the matter, my lady?" "
Chen Wenwen suddenly felt a slight blush on her face, gritted her teeth, and said, "I think you're too pitiful sleeping on the sofa, so I've decided to share half of my bed with you." "
Huan Chu yawned, and after a moment's thought, he realized that the queen was probably too stimulated today. She was afraid to be alone at night, so he stood up and joked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything the queen is afraid of? "
Chen Wenwen clearly did not want to give up easily, stubbornly saying, "Who said I'm afraid?" I just felt sorry for you sleeping on the couch, whether you come or not, I'm going back to sleep. Although he said so, he didn't move a step.
Huan Chu chuckled and stopped teasing the queen. He said, "I know, I know, Your Majesty upholds the principles of humanity and cannot bear to see me sleeping alone downstairs. You have graciously granted me the opportunity to have a bed to sleep on, and I am truly grateful." "
As he spoke, he climbed the stairs and followed the queen to the large bed. The queen suddenly remembered something and said, "I just thought the bed was big enough to let you up, don't get any funny ideas!" "
At this moment, Huan Chu seemed really tired, yawning while casually responding, without noticing at all that Chen Wenwen's originally crystal-clear face had turned bright red.
