Chapter 356: Absolutely must not get sick

"Zhaitao, you need to wear more, don’t catch a cold and get sick." Tao Tao thought about it and went to fetch a few more clothes to put on Xu Zhaixiao.

"Mom... Mom, stop..." Xu Zhaixiao felt like a bear, he was already wearing so many clothes, so bloated, so big...

"Stop what? Wear more, you absolutely cannot get sick. Zhaitao, after all the hardships, we’ve finally started to live well; we must make it last a very long time." Tao Tao felt they were truly happy now. Happiness was hard to come by, and they had to cherish it.

"Oh." Xu Zhaixiao could only resign himself to stretch out his arms and let Tao Tao dress him up like a doll.

"Are you hungry?" After layering him with several clothes, Tao Tao touched his head and asked.

"Not hungry. But I want to eat something." Xu Zhaixiao felt a bit embarrassed.

"What do you want to eat?" Their family was now well-off, and while previously they lacked food, making their child suffer, they now had plenty of food and could not let their child feel deprived.

"I... want something hot and steamy, preferably something that doesn’t require washing dishes." Xu Zhaixiao wanted to spare his mother from extra work.

"Alright, as you wish. Let’s then have two cups of instant noodles. Those don’t need washing." Thinking of no washing, Tao Tao remembered the cup noodles.

They had bought lots of instant noodles before, trying to get the most food for the least money; the bagged instant noodles were much more economical than the cupped ones.

So, they didn’t have many cup noodles at home.

When they ate instant noodles instead of meals, they usually had the bagged ones.

Today was quite luxurious.

Tao Tao got two cups of instant noodles, one tomato-flavored for Xu Zhaixiao—since he was young and couldn’t eat very spicy food—and the spicy peppercorn flavor for herself.

Once prepared, the noodles were hot and steaming. Tao Tao indulgently added a braised egg and sausage to them.

"Eat up while it’s hot. It’ll cool down soon."

"Okay." Xu Zhaixiao held the cup of noodles, his eyes shining brightly.

The noodles, freshly made, were very hot, warming up his entire body after eating.

After finishing, they chatted for a while and then went to bed.

This kind of weather was perfect for lying in a cozy, comfortable bed.

Xu Zhaixiao truly felt like hibernating.

The bed was so warm, he wanted to sleep every day.

Their family was undoubtedly happy, having enough food and clothing.

The others at Happiness Base were not so lucky.

It was tragic.

The snow fell suddenly. Those who could make it to Galaxy Supermarket to buy clothes were considered highly capable, with very strong superpowers to withstand the cold.

But many people, due to the sudden heavy snow, froze to death directly, without even a chance to reach Galaxy Supermarket.

Happiness Base was buried under a thick layer of snow, and under the snow lay countless frozen corpses.

The snow was too heavy; Happiness Base couldn’t send people to collect the bodies.

They could only wait for the snow to melt before their bodies could rest.

But by then, it might not be peaceful anymore.

By then, their bodies might have decayed.

Wu Ming felt he was going to die.

Wu Ming had lived quite freely.

Since that person named Lin Murong left last time, he hadn’t come back, though his situation here had improved a bit in terms of food.

Wu Ming didn’t need to think hard to know who had sent it.

He thought about it a little, then accepted it.

With so much food, no matter who sent it, as long as it was edible, that was enough to keep him alive.

Wu Ming accepted it, and instead of lying still as he usually did, he lay down flatter.

But then, the heavy snow fell, and he... could no longer lie flat.

It was too cold to lie flat.

If he kept lying down, he would end up dead.

Wu Ming just wanted to lie flat, literally just lying down, not in a coffin-like way.

Though, there weren’t any coffins available anymore.

Nowadays, only those rich as nations could afford to use coffins.

Those conditions, tsk tsk tsk.

In order to make his life of lying flat more comfortable, Wu Ming had no choice but to stand up, stop lying down, and he ran to Happiness Base to strip clothes off dead bodies.

He knew that in this kind of weather, there must be many dead people.

What he needed to do was to strip the clothes from those dead bodies.

If he didn’t do it, he would be the one dead.

However, the difficulty of this task was quite substantial.

No other reason but the snow was too thick.

Enduring the piercing cold, Wu Ming stayed outside for two days and barely managed to wrap himself up like a ball.

With clothes secured and food still leftover, Wu Ming thought it was about time, and he prepared to go back to his original place to lie flat.

But...

Well, the snow had intensified.

The way to his home was blocked.

Wu Ming: "..."

Wu Ming swore a few curses, and having no other options, he had to stay at Happiness Base.

He found an empty house, but one with a corpse, one that was frozen stiff.

Most importantly, the corpse still had clothes on.

Wu Ming didn’t expect this pleasant surprise; he went up, stripped the clothes off the corpse, draped them on himself, and then dragged the corpse outside and dumped it.

He wasn’t exactly scared, but now he had to stay here temporarily.

Seeing a corpse every day would somewhat affect his lying flat regime.

So, Wu Ming dumped it.

After doing this, Wu Ming cleaned up a bit, used some cloth strips to seal some cracks in the house, and then he lay down.

At this moment, Wu Ming was very glad that he had brought all his food with him when he left.

Otherwise, he would be starving to death now.

Now, with food and clothes, his happy life began from this moment.

Wu Ming touched his food, tilted his head, and fell asleep.

Su Yinhe, having lain in bed for a few days, found herself unable to lie down any longer.

It was a bit hot.

Sometimes, she felt a stark dissonance.

Standing by the window, she watched the heavy snow outside, yet inside the supermarket, it was warm as spring.

It was as if they were two different worlds.

In a sense, they indeed were two different worlds.

The supermarket didn’t belong to this world.

It belonged to another world.

Anyway, it was too warm, and Su Yinhe could no longer lie down.

So, she got up.

Lin Murong couldn’t lie down either; he taught Fangfang how to win back Xiao Hua, and he succeeded.

Yes, he, a single dog, taught someone who’d been in relationships how to coax a robot, and he succeeded.

It was magical, but that was the fact.

Then, he got bored.

After Fangfang had coaxed Xiao Hua successfully, and they were chatting joyously like newlyweds, he, the great contributor, was now being ignored.

"Ah. Damn it, I knew I shouldn’t have taught him," Lin Murong thought, wanting to slap himself.

Why did he even teach?

It was his skill, his teaching.

And now, look, the two of them were lovey-dovey, and he was miserably lonely.
