Survival [End Times]

At this time, Zhang Zhi already felt something was wrong. This enthusiastic Ms. Zhuang seemed to have some bad intentions. But in everyone's sight, he couldn't do anything rude, so he took the phone, and the man in work clothes on it was indeed his father.

"Is this your father?"

He nodded and asked in surprise: "How come you have a photo of my father?"

Ms. Zhuang took the phone back leisurely and said with a smile: "That's a coincidence, the Zhang Hengfu we are talking about is your father Zhang Hengfu." She said to the others present: "It's really a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple. Old Hu has such a powerful in-law, and we didn't know it! It's such a pity."

Hu Neng was not present. He went outside to answer the phone and hadn't come back yet. This statement was echoed by some people. It's not a pity. Such a good in-law is gone just like that.

Zhang Zhi looked surprised: "That's too coincidental. It's a pity that my father never told me about his job. I always thought he was in Hexiang."

The faces of the people present began to look a little strange. Hu Mi said ignorantly: "Azhi, your father is so powerful!" Zhang Zhi could only smile awkwardly. He really didn't know! After knowing that his father had such ability, he began to regret it in his heart!

"Mr. Zhang Hengfu is indeed powerful, but I didn't expect his son to be a young talent." Ms. Zhuang put away her phone slowly, "Mr. Zhang Hengfu was confirmed to have died in a fire at around 3 am on the first day of the first lunar month. His old mother was also present. The funeral was over long ago. I also find it strange. As the only son of Mr. Zhang Hengfu, Mr. Zhang Zhi... It seems that he has been visiting relatives with Lao Hu throughout the first month of the first lunar month. Oh, it seems that he was also attending a party on the day of the funeral."

Zhang Zhi's face turned pale all of a sudden.

Everyone present was smart. How could they not see that Ms. Zhuang was sarcastic and looking for trouble, but the point is that she was telling the truth.

In fact, Zhang Hengfu was exposed to be such a person because he was already dead. If we had known earlier that he was the person in charge of the shield project, many people would have flattered him - that was a good business! In the future, the country will need to mass produce, and domestic enterprises will definitely be needed. What a huge profit that would be.

Unfortunately, the authorities kept it a secret during his lifetime. If it weren't for the current rumors due to the competition, no one would know about this project.

"Old Hu really won the lottery and found such a capable son-in-law." Ms. Zhuang said: "He is really filial to his father-in-law. Old Hu will have a lot of blessings in the future."

The other guests showed a faint laugh. Their cultivation did not allow them to laugh out loud or speak out in ridicule, but such a subtle and arrogant disdain was already unbearable for Zhang Zhi!

Unfilial! Unfilial! Unfilial!

This Ms. Zhuang was laughing at him in her words, laughing at him for climbing up the dragon and attaching himself to the phoenix without caring about the life and death of his own father and grandmother, and perhaps also laughing at him - he actually threw such good kinship resources behind his head, he was a fool!

But he couldn't let her lead him on. Since he cut off his phone, he had been mentally prepared.

He showed a look of astonishment: "My dad and grandma are in trouble?! Impossible! The Zhang Hengfu you are talking about is definitely not my dad!"

Yu Heng didn't know how Zhang Zhi dealt with the crisis. During this period, he didn't dare to contact Zeng Pingnian and the others until after the funeral, until the arrival of spring, when the third typhoon of this year arrived and penetrated deep into the inland twice in a row, Zhongjing was repeatedly hit by disasters, and the national atmosphere was tense to fight against the typhoon. He finally put his mind at ease.

The alarm bell was removed.

This year is undoubtedly another year of wind and rain. The typhoon is strong and fierce, and has invaded the inland many times, making the residents in the central part of the country also have the idea of ​​moving. Always being harassed so frequently, how can life be passed!

However, moving is no longer as simple as it was in the past two years. In a word: house. Now the population in the north and west is highly dense, and even hotels are rented all year round. You say it is easy to settle a few people, but it is a bit difficult to move a large group of people. Of course, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not impossible to do it.

The house that the Zhang family lived in before was also repaired in the intense renovation, and Zhang Zhi became the owner of the house. The losses of the surrounding families were compensated by the Academy of Sciences. Because the deaths of Zhang Hengfu and Zhang's mother were classified as vicious murders, Zhang Zhi also received a large amount of compensation.

It can be said that what Zhang Hengfu had always wanted to give him was now dramatically given. Money and houses.

But Zhang Zhi was still not very happy, although Hu Mi always trusted him, and although his father-in-law understood him - no poison, no man, people are dead, it doesn't matter if those empty rituals are not done. He thought that it was the right choice for him to seize the opportunity of the first month of the year to get to know people through connections. In Hu Neng's eyes, his tricks were clear at a glance. But Hu Neng still helped him cover it up, which made him very grateful.

There was another thing, that he heard the people who came to negotiate with him from the Academy of Sciences asking if his father had anything left with him? Where was there anything? He shook his head and said no.

As a result, a few days later, he received news that Zeng Yu from the Zeng family was hired by the Academy of Sciences again. This time it was not a logistics position, but an assistant to a professor of a serious project.

"That was a student taught by Mr. Zhang Hengfu himself! He must have inherited a large part of Mr. Zhang's ideas. Now the academy values ​​him very much and even let their whole family move to Kyoto to protect their safety."

This family actually refers to the families of Zeng Pingnian and his father-in-law and brother-in-law. It must be because the academy values ​​him that Zeng Yu's maternal family was allowed to move with him.

Zhang Zhi couldn't control his jealous mood. In fact, he really regrets it. Whether it was before or now, eating from the country and enjoying various benefits and protections are very good choices. Especially now, with constant floods, he was secretly afraid that the economy would be cut off at some point. His current job was not as reliable as Zeng Yu's in the Academy of Sciences.

But he couldn't go even if he wanted to. His father didn't leave him anything, not even experimental research ideas, nor did he give him any connections to get him involved.

In short, receiving nearly 10 million yuan in compensation and a newly renovated house did not make Zhang Zhi feel any gratitude towards Zhang Hengfu, but instead made him increasingly resentful.

And Yu Heng smiled after seeing the Zeng family being picked up and sent away. When he went home and talked about it with Zhang's mother, Zhang's mother also thought it was good: "Kingto is great, it's the capital."

"Let's get ready to move too, Mom, I've bought the house."

The newly bought house is not as good as the previous one. It only has one bedroom and one living room. It is still an old house. Yu Heng plans to make a bed in the living room to live in. Although the house is smaller, he still purchased materials, prepared soil, etc., and set up tools for raising vegetables. Zhang's mother was very happy: "I haven't put away the vegetables recently, and my hands feel uncomfortable."

So he continued to live like this. Now there was a mixture of people, and Yu Heng and Zhang's mother were not conspicuous at all among them. After the vegetables grew, he and Zhang's mother went out to sell them. They looked like the most normal mother and daughter.

"Your makeup looks like that." Mother Zhang looked at Yu Heng's face. At first glance, it looked similar to the one on the ID card. In fact, it was the photo on the ID card. It's more distorted and very different from the person in person. Yu Heng just did some work on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, so he looks more similar.

"In the past, in the company, those little girls talked about makeup every day." Yu Heng smiled and said, "Mom, do you want to put on makeup?"

Mother Zhang waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no."

In the summer of the third year of the flood, the floods reached the Zhongjing area and did not recede. During that time, rowing boats, yachts, etc. were constantly heading north and west. Huashan once again ushered in a population peak, and Yu Heng's vegetables were sold at higher prices.

During this period, Yu Heng's main focus was on the cultivation of vegetable seeds. He hoped to cultivate completely aquatic vegetable seeds. He had done this work a few years ago, and later sent the results of the experiment to a certain farm. Last year, he heard the news that newly cultivated vegetable seeds and grain seeds had been released. However, it was not available on the market at that time. I heard that the new seeds were in various large farms and planting bases.

I can buy them this year. A pack of ordinary cabbage seeds costs 60 yuan, which is really expensive. Yu Heng has recently been studying various new seeds he bought.

The seeds are indeed good, but there is room for improvement. In the process of dealing with seeds and water every day, Yu Heng found that the scales on the back of his hands began to increase and spread to his wrists. In fact, in addition to his wrists, he also found a few pieces on his ankles while taking a shower.

At the same time, when he touches the water, he will feel an instinctive pleasure. Although it is very weak, it is real. He remembered that in the real world, Zhong Hua, who had assimilated into a mermaid, once said how he felt during the mutation, and that he was also close to water at the beginning.

Yu Heng also carefully observed the changes in her body, until one day, Zhang's mother said that her neck was a little itchy.

"Ah Fu, can you help mom see if there is anything growing? It feels a little weird when I touch it."

Zhang's mother felt a little itchy on her neck these days, and she even applied medicine, but it still felt like a lump to the touch, and she couldn't see it herself. The itching was really unbearable today, so she asked Yu Heng to take a look at it.

"Let me take a look." Yu Heng put down what he was doing, washed his hands and pulled Zhang Mu's back collar, seeing a few familiar flesh scales on it. His heart skipped a beat.

"How are you? Are you allergic? Is it red or not?"

"It's something growing, fleshy scales like my hands." Yu Heng said, "I'll give you some ointment to rub it on."

Mother Zhang asked in surprise: "Is it the same as you? Come and get your phone and take a picture for me."

Yu Heng took a picture for her, and she smiled after reading it: "We are biological children. Look, you have it too, and I have it too." After that, she imagined that if Zhang's father was still alive, "He must have it too." ”

After hearing such childish words, Yu Heng could only laugh, not knowing what to say. Afterwards, he applied the mild ointment he made on Zhang Mu, and the itching caused by the new flesh scales also disappeared. He quietly checked Mother Zhang's pulse. She was in great health and had no problems at all.

He once again determined that it was the effect of the genetically modified fluid, because Zhang's mother took relatively little and took it intermittently. It was not until after the two escaped that he gave her all the genetically modified fluid, so the symptoms appeared later. At the same time, he can also determine that the future direction of evolution is likely to be aquatic.

He asked Zhang’s mother: “Mom, do you still remember how to swim?”

"Remember, what happened?"

"nothing."

In the summer of the following year, the first batch of floating cities in Hexiang was finally fully completed. The supply was not large. According to the news, it was only the size of an ordinary town. It opened 150,000 suites, including two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments. From the image, the decoration is very simple, with the first floor being twelve meters up.

"In the north, this height is enough!"

In addition to housing, the buildings are connected by sky bridges and corridors, which is very poetic and picturesque. The structure of the whole town is very good, just like a city in the sky. The price is also very high, and it is sold for 159,000 per square meter, which is amazing.

"This is too expensive!"

Before the sale, the trailer was widely circulated on the Internet, and the social response was mixed. Some people said they would buy it at all costs, and some complained that the authorities were making money without regard for the consequences. Of course, there were also people who waited and watched.

Yu Heng took a look and asked Zhang's mother: "Do you want to live there?"

Zhang's mother shook her head: "It's too expensive!" How many years does it take to sell vegetables!

"Mom, don't think about the money. Do you like Hexiang?"

Like it or not? Zhang's mother asked herself, of course she likes it. Look at the video on TV, how beautiful the house is. Moreover, it is a house that her son has participated in. Her son has accumulated a lot of experience and has made achievements in his favorite field at this age. As a mother, she is very proud and wants to see the house in Hexiang.

From her expression, Yu Heng knew that Zhang's mother wanted to go.

"Okay, then let's go buy it."
