Chapter 279
Unexpectedly, in this life, their experiences were completely different.
"Senior, you should...you should contact me..." she said.
However, I also understood what Zhang Jia meant. When she arrived in J City, the communication had been cut off. How could I contact her!
Zhang Jia was lucky that he arrived in J City safely.
Zhang Jia smiled bitterly. "Actually, I came here out of sheer courage. I got scared halfway through. Luckily, I ran into a group of people helping to evacuate disaster victims, and I followed them to the suburbs. I wasn't the only one who wanted to come to J City. We at the resettlement site discussed it and came together. At the time, everything was flooded three or four stories high. There was no one along the way. When we were tired, we rested on the boat, and when we were hungry, we ate on the boat."
All we brought was dry food. We were also very careful not to drink the poisonous water or get it on ourselves. One of our companions, who had extensive wilderness survival experience, told us it would be best to have an airtight jacket on board to cover our head and face...
Thinking back, it was this action that allowed us to reach J City safely. Once we arrived in J City, they all had relatives or family members there, so they dispersed. I was at my wit's end, so I followed the relocation team on the road to the resettlement site..."
Zhang Jia spoke with tears in his eyes, and a glimmer of light on his haggard face: "I'm actually quite lucky. Along the way, I've only met good people. Every time I feel desperate, there's always a chance of a turnaround..."
She looked at Zhou Shuwan and smiled: "Shuwan, just like now, when I really couldn't make ends meet and was thinking about exchanging some supplies, I met you!"
Zhou Shuwan's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at her seriously: "Senior sister, you said you had a serious illness. Are you better now? I have medicine here, and I also know a very good doctor. If you still feel uncomfortable, we can go to him and let him take your pulse!"
"No, I feel completely recovered now. I can eat and sleep well. You see I'm thin now, it's because I was sick before and it drained all my energy."
Seeing this, Zhou Shuwan said nothing more and asked her where she lived now.
Zhang Jia pointed to the nearest tall building and said, "It's the resettlement community up there, called Mingzhu Community. It used to be a high-end community, but the occupancy rate was so low before the apocalypse that they gave all the space to the survivors who had nowhere else to go."
"Is it one house per person?"
"No, the house I was assigned had three bedrooms and a living room, four rooms in total. During the flood season, there were many people, so four families squeezed together. I shared a bedroom with a girl. Later..."
She paused and continued, "Later, there were fewer people. This time when we went back, each family had a bedroom, and the living room was a common area, so it was quite convenient. We heard that there was a Xiguan greenhouse downstairs for trading supplies, so we all tried to bring our unused items to see if we could exchange them for something. When I was in school, I learned how to crochet hairpins from a girl in our dormitory. I happened to have a bag of wool with me, so I gave it a try."
Zhou Shuwan nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look later."
Zhang Jia hesitated, then shook his head: "Forget it, Shu Wan, everyone is short of water now, it's not decent, and our place is also very dirty and messy, you'd better not go."
Just now I saw Zhou Shuwan's family. They were all dressed neatly, had fresh faces, bright and calm eyes. It was obvious that they were people who had no shortage of supplies.
Zhang Jia felt a little ashamed when he was with the other person.
However, this is also Zhang Jia's own advantage.
Although she was imprisoned and at the bottom of society, she would not be jealous of those who were better off than her for no reason. She would always put herself in their shoes and consider their concerns...
She and Zhou Shuwan actually have the same personality in some ways, which is why they became good friends like sisters in their previous life.
Zhou Shuwan said without hesitation: "You came to see me, there's not much I can do, but it's necessary for me to follow you to get to know the place. It will be convenient for you to travel in the future, and I can come to see you!"
Zhang Jia then stopped talking.
Zhou Shuwan and Zhang Jia walked towards the stall they had just visited. After a while, they ran into Qi Mingyu and Zhong Tiyun who had already finished shopping.
Everyone decided to go to Zhang Jia's place together.
Zhou Shuwan didn't say much, just a few simple introductions. Zhong Tiyun took Zhang Jia's hand and sighed, "Poor child, we always talk about you at home every night. We never dreamed that you would come to J City. It's really inconvenient to contact each other after the apocalypse, otherwise we would have met a long time ago."
Zhang Jia shook her head and smiled: "Auntie, I have also suffered a lot, but I have always met noble people."
"It's a relief to meet such a kind person. Otherwise, if you said you were just a child, not much older than Wanwan, it would make people feel so sad!"
When they got downstairs, Zhang Jia said a little embarrassedly, "I forgot to tell you that I live on the 13th floor now. I need to climb up to the 13th floor. Grandma, uncle, aunt, you..."
"You're given such a high score!"
This building has about 17 or 18 floors, and it is not short if it is on the 13th floor.
"I'm young, so I deliberately got a higher score." Zhang Jia is very open-minded.
Grandma Pang definitely can’t climb up to such a high place.
Qi Mingyu said, "Then grandma and I will wait downstairs, you guys go up."
He looked at Zhou Shuwan seriously: "Be careful."
Zhang Jia had already noticed that the eye contact between the two people was unusual as they walked along.
As they walked up the stairs, while Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai were behind them, she quietly asked, "Wanwan, was that man your boyfriend?"
Zhou Shuwan's cheeks flushed, but he nodded generously: "Yes. We are neighbors and got together after the apocalypse."
Zhang Jia's tone was filled with envy. "Great! I noticed his way of walking and standing is very unusual. Could he be a veteran?"
She had lived in the survivor apartment for a long time. There were many soldiers in the survivor apartment, so she was familiar with some of the characteristics of soldiers and could tell that Qi Mingyu was different at a glance.
Zhou Shuwan nodded: "Yes, he used to be in the army, but he retired during the flood season and came back. As you can see, he has a grandmother at home, and he wants to come back to take care of her."
Zhang Jia responded, "People who know how to be filial are not bad in character. I think he is much better than Lin Youyang!"
Zhou Shuwan was stunned and suddenly realized that he hadn't thought about Lin Youyang for a long time.
In fact, when she was reborn, she hated Lin Youyang with a vengeance and wanted to kill him with her own hands to avenge him.
But after teaching him to the local mafia boss and returning to deal with the apocalypse with her family, she had almost forgotten about this man.
