Building a City at the End of the World

CHAPTER 003

You should know that after the end of the world the water source has been polluted and murky, and there are many mutant water creatures that cannot be eaten by humans. the water they drink is provided by the electricity users at the base and the Electric users can only produce a small amount of water in one day, so clean water is more expensive than food.

And here, such clear water is actually used for bathing. 

 Alina could not remember How long it had been since she last had a bath like this. Usually he would not bathe until he could not stand the smell of his body anymore.he just used a slightly wet handkerchief and wiped it all over the body.

After Alina turned the hot water button, the water became hot and foggy smoke rose from the bathroom. Alina walked down the shower and at the appropriate temperature directly drenched her body. Alina couldn't think of anything else, she just wanted to take a shower and have fun now. 

Alina opened her mouth and let the water into her mouth. It tastes a little sweet. Alina tried to hold on but still couldn't hold back her reddened eyes.

 when Alina came out, it was already 1 hour later. Alina washed her body many times before cleaning up all the dirt on her body. Alina felt a little embarrassed for wasting very rare clean water in the last days just for a bath.

 Alina wanted to know at the robot that looked like a broken item in the corner of the room that was cleaning stains on the ground. Alina saw him open the pouch on his stomach and took out a dry cloth to carefully clean the water stains on the ground.

 the robot looks very serious and careful at work.

“I will pay you a lot of crystal cores needed for my bath water.” Alina said as she walked towards the kitchen and said to Althea who was busy cooking.

“No, you already paid for it in those 20 crystal cores. Noodles are ready, let's come and eat together. This is flour milled by self-grown wheat in our city, it tastes very good.” Althea said while promoting her own city.

“You planted it yourself? Can you still grow crops here?” Alina felt that she was a little dizzy overridden by so much knowledge all of a sudden by the small town.

 the soil in the last days is no longer suitable for plant growth. Now basically the human race cannot eat fresh food. What they ate the most was dry food made from one of the few edible plants in the last days.

Although it can be eaten it does not taste good, it does, there are still wood-type power users or plants that can purify a small portion of soil and seeds for planting but they only serve the high-level people of each base. Ordinary people cannot eat fresh food,

If it wanted to eat fresh food, it was more difficult than going to the sky and even if there was, it would be very expensive.

Just like today, the crystal nucleus and the dark-level charge rhinoceros horn could only be exchanged for some dried food, water, and a small bag of rice.

“Yaa.” Althea replied while nodding. “It can not only plant but the wheat can also grow better and harvest faster.”

Now that there was a lot of flour in the barn, he was frying and cooking it himself, even if he ate it three times a day, the flour would still not be able to run out.

The smell of food in front of him continued to enter into Alina's nose. Alina swallowed her saliva and her vigilance in this house was getting lower, there was even a feeling in her heart that it would be nice if she could stay here forever.

 Alina took a noodle with a bad shape that was not professionally kneaded and put it in her mouth. The sweet aroma of flour melted in her mouth, the taste was actually quite ordinary, actually quite ordinary, but he felt the wheat in the small town was really good.

After finishing this bowl with soup, Alina felt her body warm up. 

It was getting dark outside, Althea took Alina to the straw cottage. The eyes of the robots in the hall were still bright and they were very obedient and silent at his post.

“Good night mayor.” the mechanical sound of robots is heard as soon as they enter the room.

“I brought a guest to stay, and he will stay for a day.” Althea said to the robot.

The robot began scanning Alina's facial information and handed her a 3D accommodation form on a screen that hung in the air to be filled in by her. This is the first time Althea has seen such an operation, with high-tech secrecy apparently maintained and the system running properly.

“Miss Alina's room is in room A01, Please use your face to unlock the room door and check out time is 8 tomorrow night. Do you need toiletries ? two first-class crystal cores for a set of toiletries.”

 Alina took out two first-rate crystal nuclei and placed them in front of the robot, the robot received the crystal nucleus given by Alina and inserted it into her stomach pouch.

“OK, toiletries are ready, hope your day is pleasant.”

“Thank you, thank you.” Alina answered him with a stammer - brick

Alina walks into the room under Althea's guidance and learns to use facial recognition to open the room's doors.

Bipp

A01 bedroom door opens, and the decor of the whole room is visible.

Alina simply felt that what she was experiencing right now was like imagination. He did not dare to go inside and continued to ask questions in his heart. Is this real ? is everything he is currently seeing real ? Could it be that he was already on the verge of death, and all that was currently happening was only his fantasy that appeared when he was already dying ??

“Why didn't you sign in?” 

“There is clean water in it, and it can be drunk directly, there is an induction stove, the water can also be boiled, the bathroom is supplied with hot water 24 hours a day, the bed linen and blankets are clean. If hungry, yahh I have flour here and you can make something to eat with your own thermos. If you have any questions or need anything, you can come to my house. Good rest and good night.”

Listen to Althea's introduction very seriously, and also reply, “Goodnight.”

When the door closed, the room suddenly became quiet. Alina closed her eyes. There were no mutant beast and zombie roars, and there were no voices of people in the tent gritting their teeth and farts. It was as quiet as before the end of the world.

Alina begins to think about the origins of the mayor and this mysterious and magical city. In fact, he thought about this when he first came to this city but his mind was always troubled by new things.

After thinking about it for a long time, Alina was unable to think about Why, but now that the end of the world had arrived, these real things seemed easier to accept.

He opened the curtain and lay on the bed with his clothes on. The mattress is not too soft or too hard but it is the most suitable for humans.

Have not slept in bed for more than 5 years. To prevent the vines from attacking, the soil and basement were covered with steel plates designed specifically for forest plants that were researched in the third year of the end of the world. 

They slept in tents and only covered with a thin layer of cloth. A thin layer of cloth and some clothes just lay there to make the bed.

In the last days, it took a lot of effort just to survive, Who cares whether he slept well or not, he was tired and fell asleep almost every night.

But now lying on this warm bed, he could not help but sigh. The blanket was unusually warm, and there was a fragrance on it.

Alina wanted to close her eyes, it would be nice if her parents and sister were also here.

 Alina thought she would not be able to sleep but after touching the bed she immediately fell asleep.

The sentence does not dream all night, whose eyes again in the morning and the sun already shows its rays. Alina was a little surprised because since the end of the world she had not slept for a long time until she naturally woke up.

Alina got up and took a glass of water to drink, the water in the glass was much clearer and cleaner and there was a hint of sweetness in it.  Alina could not help but drink a large glass of water for a while.

Hqnduk and his toothbrush are disposable and there is toothpaste. Yesterday, he recalled that the Mayor secretly told him that before leaving those who had been paid could be fished.

 after taking a bath and looking at her new and clean self in the mirror, Alina slowly made up her mind.

“You're leaving now? Aren't you staying for a few more days? if you stay for a month, there is still a.” discount Althea was still holding the freshly baked flower cake in her hand, staring at Alina excitedly.

“I have to go back today.my family is still waiting for me at the base and I have other things to do.” Alina took out five second-rate crystal cores and 80 first-rate crystal cores from the bag and said, “Please me guard the room, this is the crystal core for the rental fee for one month, and said, <TAG1>Please I keep the room, and I'll be right back.”

Althea's mood was up and down like a roller coaster ride, she didn't know what to say to look after someone, and the other party had taken the initiative to continue with the room rental. 

With this crystal core the city could be upgraded as soon as possible, so Althea excitedly inserted flower cakes for Alina to bring back to her family.

Althea patted her chest and promised to save the room she was currently using and wait for her to return to occupy this room again.

 Before leaving Alina filled her own bottle with water to drink on the way to Pangkalan.

Althea stood at the gate and seeing Alina leave, the skinny girl carried a small bag on her body and stepped forward, her steps much lighter than when she first came.

The mutant rhinoceros at the door had already left because he was unable to find the target he had been aiming for previously.As he did not need to search for the forest beast, the return journey of the paragraph was much faster.

Alina specifically chose a path without mutant animals, mutant plants, and zombies, so that she could return to the base within a day and a half.

At this moment, Althea was examining her system panel.the city's income crystal core had reached a hundred crystal cores and the city had been raised to the second level.

Two simple thatched huts have been added to the city and a simple grocery store has also opened.in terms of agriculture, rice seeds, corn, and potatoes have also been opened. However, there are currently only chickens that can be raised in the mall system and the rest are still gray.

Althea almost burst into tears of joy. After days of eating bread and noodles, she was finally able to eat rice, vegetables, and meat.

 now that there was still a crystal core left after the upgrade, he bought two bags of seeds for each grain and vegetable, bought one chicken, he bought one, and spent two more crystal cores to buy two large bags of chicken feed, and immediately encouraged the two robots to start work.

Althea clicked on the grocery store icon again, and a small 3D 3-Dimensional cubicle immediately appeared in front of her like a living human.she dragged the grocery store with her finger and a city plan appeared in front of her, the red box represents the position that the grocery store will place.

Althea chose a grocery store on the side of the road closer to her house and a thatched hut.
