Five years after the apocalypse, after two years of rest and recovery, China finally recovered some vitality. The Purifier Project, led by the Capital Base, had already recruited more than 5,000 water purifiers. The provisional government had taken the lead in purifying the soil of the Songnen Plains and Sanjiang Plains in the northeast, the Chengdu Plains in Sichuan and the Plains in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The first batch of drought-tolerant crops sprouted and grew well. The bases near these places were packed full, attracting a large number of survivors to settle down at the base.

After most of the pressure from the food was gone, the next few public security issues were put on the agenda once again. Liu Shi's two divisions were temporarily assigned to the Apocalypse Monitor Team. They were both ability users who had taken an Elementary Zombie Crystal when the base was besieged. In addition to the military salary, the Yuan family also needed to ensure that the soldiers would at least be able to upgrade their Class 2 superpower by using the Zombie Crystals. In other words, on average, every Yuan family would need to provide over a hundred lost crystals per year.

The influence and deterrence of the Tianjing Black Panther case is undoubtedly enormous. As long as a large or small base nearby heard the name of the 'Apocalypse Monitoring Team', those who committed evil would be more or less obedient. When Liu Shi's army and the surveillance team of the apocalypse officially moved to the various bases for a long period of time, the survivors who suffered from natural and man-made disasters finally welcomed a peaceful spring day.

In the same year, the mobile and telecommunications signal towers were repaired, and the broken cables were connected to the north of the Huaihe River for the first time under the supervision of a special team. The nuclear power station and hydropower station resumed production one after another, the staff not only protected commuting, but also enjoyed working alone, the family did not starve preferential treatment. With the restoration of communication and network, although there was only one central station that could be viewed, people were no longer ignorant of the outside world.

Every day, there were three to four hours worth of live videos of zombies being killed by a special team in the middle of Central TV. This video not only had the effect of encouraging the people's morale, but also served as a positive demonstration of the ability of the survivors. Following the arrival of Yuan Huiying's Apocalypse Monitor Team at various bases, the television station also played the trial process of several major cases. The video of Black Panther being tried in the morning was also repeated, and there was even a special telephone reporting the case rolling below the television screen. As long as someone reported a case, the Apocalypse Monitor Team would immediately assign people to handle the case.

The trial of the case would also be broadcasted on a later television show. For a moment, Yuan Huying's special line for reporting the case was about to be blown up.

The first New Dawn Elementary School in Beijing had also begun teaching with the support of Lin Xin and Gu Cheng. The reason for this was that the four children of his family were all at the age where they should be attending classes: Little Coco, Little Circus, Lou Xiao, and Tian Jingwan. It was not a proper way to read the characters of the old people who lived at home all day long. The apocalypse should not mean the decline of civilization.

After Lin Xin had been worried for a few days, she told Gu Cheng about her idea of starting an elementary school. At that time, she hadn't said anything, and the next day, she asked Liu Shi for helpers and set up a school in the wasteland outside the city.

Liu Shi casually posted a quest in the mission hall. Other than hiring teachers, there were also volunteer workers. Those who were involved in the construction of the school were allowed to enrol for two semesters at no cost, and such favourable conditions attracted a great deal of labour. With all this work going on day and night, the New Dawn Elementary School had only been built for two months, and now it was ready to be used.

Since the teachers' salaries were all provided by Gu Cheng and the rest, the position of principal naturally fell to Lin Xin. Gu Cheng barely managed to make it so that he became the legal representative. On the other hand, Liu Shi had been invited by Lin Xin to be an honorary principal. Just because of this empty title, he had been given a ton of new rations by Gu Cheng afterwards. The price was truly heavy.

The first batch of teachers were all university professors, so Lin Xin simply took out the two of them from the elementary school and turned them into the new Breaking Dawn Academy. She had the intention of teaching them for the rest of their lives.

The new school officially opened after the grand ceremony. The students were divided into five classes according to age. Soon, everyone realized that this wouldn't work. In the end, according to the results of the entrance examinations, they were divided into four classes. An illiterate child has to study for a year before being promoted to primary school.

Seeing the children who were shaking their heads and reciting Tang Shi's poems, Lin Xin smiled in relief. Outside the window was the hundred acres of peach tree that Gu Cheng had planted for her. This piece of barren land had gone through more than a year of unfolding and purification before the saplings of the trees began sprouting. It was extremely lush and verdant.

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Cheng had already finished patrolling the campus. He walked up to her and gently embraced her waist as he asked.

Lin Xin turned around and pecked him on the chin, then smiled and said, "When this peach tree can grow peaches, it'll be time for Baby and Bei Bei to go to school. When that happens, we'll have a headache."

Gu Cheng was clearly recalling the two overlords in his family as well, a wry smile appearing on his face. He rubbed his chin against the top of her hair as he helplessly said, "Those two furry monkeys might not be able to sit still." Principal Lin, when that time comes, don't stop me from punishing them. "

Lin Xin blushed. Different from other children, Gu Xuehui and Gu Ruoyun were able to walk shakily when they were only six months old, and now they were even more capable of running and jumping. With the strength of the child and the combined strength of Lin Xin and Liu Sun, they were unable to see through it.

Although these two places were close, they were still over ten minutes away, yet these two little peas were able to accurately pinpoint Gu Cheng's location every time. If someone had carried him away in the middle of the journey or crashed into him by a passing car, even Gu Cheng would have a lingering fear.

So he hit them hard on the ass a few times. Gu Ruoyun and Steamed Bun Invasion didn't cry when he held them in his hands, they only stared at Lin Xin with puffy faces. When they were beaten up, their eyes were the same as each other, filled with sparkling tears. Gu Cheng hadn't even fought very much when Lin Xin couldn't stand it any longer and hurriedly saved the two brothers from his hands.

As a result, even if the two brothers were beaten up, they wouldn't be afraid. The next time, the elder brother would lead the younger brother away from home to find the father. Looking at the two little bun who appeared in front of him again while sucking on their fingers and blinking their big black eyes, one of them had already died. Facing the same cute faces as the other two … Gu Cheng could only look up at the sky speechlessly. He bent over and picked up the two brothers who were carrying the meat in their arms, before tossing them down the unfinished task and sending them back home.

"Maybe when they grow up they will listen." Lin Xin comforted herself.

Gu Cheng acknowledged it, the doubt in his voice dispersed by the spring wind blowing against him.

Family was always the sweetest burden.
