My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1441
[1431. Chapter 1411: From the bottom of the valley to the best of times!]
In a ruined city covered with ice and snow, Su Mo walked aimlessly with a dazed look in his eyes.
A few minutes ago, he had just closed his eyes and lay down when he came to this strange and weird world.
But inexplicably, he did not feel that this change was abrupt. Instead, it seemed as if he had lived here for a long time.
From time to time, he stopped and looked around blankly with many unfamiliar memories in his mind.
A very magical scene took place. As he looked up, the surrounding ice and snow, ruins, and all the desolation disappeared, replaced by flashing neon lights, people coming and going, and a prosperous urban scene.
Shaxian fast food.
Fujino TY chain style.
Netfish e-sports flagship store.
Everyday Good Fruit.
The flashing signs emit a warm bright yellow light, forming a sharp contrast with the original ice and snow ruins.
However, there is a strange atmosphere in this prosperity.
Although you can see that almost every shop is packed through the air-conditioning curtains used to prevent cold air from leaking out, the people inside all have expressionless faces, like puppets controlled by some force.
Everyone had empty eyes and mechanical movements, as if they were just shadows in this city.
If you listen carefully to the noisy sounds ringing in your ears, you can find that they are repetitive and mechanical, without any change in tune.
‘Today is a good day’
‘Today is a.’
The loudspeaker at the door of the fruit shop emitted a shrill singing voice, repeating the same lyrics over and over again.
Including the stray cats foraging in street trash cans, their movements are equally stereotyped, sometimes lowering their heads and sometimes raising them.
As he walked, Su Mo’s movements became extremely mechanical.
It’s like a big frozen popsicle that can only move forward step by step.
Passing through the bustling snack street, Su Mo’s figure soon stopped in front of an apartment building.
He looked up and saw a familiar name engraved on the sign.
‘Sunny Apartment’.
Sunshine in big cities is always a luxury, especially in top cities like Shanghai.
The only sunshine that many ordinary people can enjoy is in their bright and beautiful offices and on the way to work.
The selling point of Sunshine Apartment is “giving you a perfect sunrise”. Every room here has very good lighting, which is deeply loved by many young people.
Su Mo walked into the apartment mechanically, and the administrator also waved mechanically, as if to say hello.
Ding Dong.
The elevator door opened and several women walked by stiffly with their heads lowered.
Everyone is like an elevator with a set operating program, silently performing every action according to the program.
Entering the elevator, Su Mo raised his hand and pressed the button for the 13th floor.
His luck seemed to be good today. Su Mo was the only one in the elevator, and he quickly reached the thirteenth floor.
The elevator door opened, and the neat corridor outside exuded a unique wooden fragrance.
A whole row of bright, ownerless incandescent lights cast mountain-like halos, dispelling the darkness of the night.
He ran into a hooded man head-on. Su Mo raised his hand and waved, and the other party waved back.
Then everyone lowered their heads again and walked towards their destination.
1319.
Standing in front of the door, Su Mo placed his finger on the fingerprint lock.
With a cheerful beep, the door opened, and a familiar smell came out.
At this moment, all the stiffness disappeared and everything became lively.
“Welcome home, Master!”
The Xiao Ai figurine is placed at the entrance hall, and a faint smiling face is printed on the panel.
The lights in the living room were on, and the kitchen was also lit with warm lights, with a slight aroma of food wafting out.
“Honey, why did you get off work so early!” A figure flashed out of the kitchen, holding a spatula in her hand, a smile on her pretty face.
“The company has been in a downturn recently, and business is much less than before, so we only have to work overtime for one hour.”
Su Mo replied, his tone was a little depressed, but he still managed a smile: “Qingshu, what did you cook today? It smells so good?”
“Your favorite shredded potatoes with chili peppers, mapo tofu, and stir-fried beef. By the way, I bought too many chili peppers, so I prepared a side dish for you: chili pepper peanuts!” The woman in home clothes waved the spatula, her eyes full of love.
Zhong Qingshu was his girlfriend whom he met in college. They dated for seven years and got married last year.
The new house they bought is about to be delivered, and both of them are looking forward to moving out of the apartment and into their new home as soon as possible.
“You’re the best. I’m going to take a shower now.”
Su Mo smiled dotingly, walked into the bathroom, and soon the sound of water was heard.
After taking a shower, Zhong Qingshu had already placed the food on the table. There were four large plates full of delicious food, and two cans of ice-cold Snow Beer.
“Hey, aren’t you wondering why I have to cook so many dishes today?”
“Eh?” Su Mo opened the pull ring, took a sip and put it down.
“Let me think about it.”
Ruling out birthdays, anniversaries, promotions and salary increases, Su Mo’s mind quickly filtered out all possible options.
“Silly boy, tomorrow is the day we hand over our new house!”
Seeing Su Mo lost in thought, Zhong Qingshu giggled, her watery eyes full of hope.
After hearing what he said, Su Mo was a little confused.
He subconsciously took out his mobile phone and entered WeChat, only to see that the first message on the top of his phone was a message from the property management, inviting them to go to the new community to take over the house tomorrow.
The second pinned message was from Zhong Qingshu, who told him to go home early and that she had a surprise for him.
The third one is pinned to the top.
Before Su Mo could see clearly, a pair of small white hands reached out, snatched the phone away and turned it upside down on the table.
“It’s time to eat. Don’t wait until you’re done with your work!”
“Okay, let’s eat. I won’t watch anymore.” Su Mo nodded instinctively. He was just an ordinary office worker. It was a blessing for him to find the beautiful Zhong Qingshu in college.
For this reason, he worked diligently after graduation and did not dare to rest for a single day, for fear that he could not give her a good life.
Fortunately, life is pretty good now. The relationship between the two has not faded, but has become increasingly intense after they got married.
After dinner, Su Mo took the initiative to take the responsibility of washing the pot, while Zhong Qingshu went to take a shower with a hum.
Standing in front of the stove and watching the water flowing, Su Mo inexplicably felt a sense of happiness in his heart.
This kind of life is really good.
As he thought so, his hands did not slow down at all and he quickly put the clean plates into the sterilizer.
Returning to the restaurant and picking up the phone on the table, Su Mo sat on the sofa and began to open various software programs aimlessly.
First, WeChat.
It turns out that the third pinned message was a work group message. No wonder Zhong Qingshu didn’t let him check it at that time.
Su Mo flipped through the messages quickly and found out that his supervisor had said that there would be a meeting tomorrow to discuss how to expand the business. Then there were more than 20 repeated messages and everyone mechanically replied “received”.
Without having to work overtime, Su Mo felt a little better and immediately replied with “received”.
However, surprisingly, at the moment he sent and received it, a new message appeared above.
Is the supervisor.
“Whoever is free now, come back and work overtime immediately. If there are new orders, the commission will be doubled!”
The two messages were sent one after another. As soon as the supervisor finished speaking, Su Mo received it.
One can imagine how suffocating this moment was. Su Mo gave a helpless smile, and all his good mood just now disappeared.
Fortunately, there was a double commission, so Su Mo could only curse his bad luck and stood up from the sofa.
“Qingshu, the company has another order, I need to go there urgently.”
“Ah, so late?”
“I can’t help it. It’s not a loss to get twice the commission. I’ll tell you when I get back.”
As Su Mo spoke, he opened the shoe cabinet and took out his shoes.
As he hurriedly ran out of the apartment, a yellow taxi flashed by at the end of the street not far away.
Su Mo waved quickly, but unexpectedly the yellow taxi seemed not to see him and sped straight towards him.
boom.
In a daze, he began to hear various fragmentary sounds in his ears, sometimes the screams of passers-by, sometimes the sound of an ambulance, and sometimes the rapid beeping of a car.
When he opened his eyes again, he was lying in a small ward of more than ten square meters.
Zhong Qingshu was sitting next to him, her eyes were red and swollen, and it seemed that she had been crying for a long time.
“Qingqingshu”
Su Mo tried hard to raise his hand, but found that he had no feeling in his whole body, as if he had disappeared.
Fortunately, Zhong Qingshu had been observing him and found that his eyes could move. She shouted to the outside in surprise: “Doctor, doctor, he can move, he is awake, he is awake!”
In Su Mo’s peripheral vision, several people in white coats rushed in and started searching him.
Without any senses and imperfect hearing, Soma had no idea what these people were doing.
But he captured several key words.
Vegetative state, permanent, continuous treatment, expensive, go home to recuperate
“I was hit by a yellow Ferrari and became a vegetative state?”
Su Mo cursed in his heart, but he was also a little confused as to why his mind was clearer than before.
Is this the special experience of a vegetative person?
As he was thinking, Su Mo fell asleep. When he woke up again, there was only a strange nurse by his side. Zhong Qingshu had disappeared.
There was no way, Su Mo could only continue to think wildly. He found that the more he thought, the clearer his mind became.
And there are a lot more strange memories.
“What is this skyscraper?”
A special structure that he had never encountered before appeared in Su Mo’s mind, and it became clearer and clearer, as if he had figured it out step by step himself.
And along with this special structure came a large amount of knowledge that he had never been exposed to before.
interesting!
Since he couldn’t move anyway, Soma just lay down and began to meditate and study, receiving these memories.
This lasted for more than two months, during which time many people came to the ward, including parents, relatives, some college classmates, and colleagues at work.
Everyone felt sorry for what happened to him and thought that such a hard-working young man shouldn’t suffer like this.
By the way, the driver of the yellow Ferrari was also arrested.
He was a middle-aged man who had been driving while fatigued for 18 hours. He did not run away after hitting someone. He called an ambulance immediately and later used insurance to pay for a lot of medical expenses.
But unfortunately, the medical expenses alone for a vegetative state are not enough, and the main focus is still on recuperation.
Even someone as strong as the racing king Schumacher would lose everything after becoming a vegetable.
For an ordinary family, this is an unimaginable expenditure of wealth.
After everyone left, only Su’s father, Su’s mother, and Zhong Qingshu were left in the ward.
Father Su was a reasonable man. After confirming that Su Mo’s illness had not improved in the past two months, he said thoughtfully, “Qingshu, I think we should take Su Mo home to recuperate. Don’t worry, we don’t want a penny of what Su Mo has saved and what you have earned. In addition, we will give you some…”
“Dad, what do you mean?”
Zhong Qingshu’s face changed. “I have already sold my new house just to pay for Su Mo’s treatment. If you let me go now, what will happen to him?”
“You are still young and a good kid, there is no need.” Mother Su sighed, “To be honest, we old couple have a lot of money. We used to want to train you, so we spent a lot of money. Now we regret it.”
They are the first generation of rich people, and they always have a mysterious belief in hard work.
This also resulted in Su Mo being cut off from financial support after he became an adult, and he could only rely on his own efforts.
“There’s nothing to regret. You guys keep the money. I’ll use mine to save him.”
Zhong Qingshu said coldly, and that cold moon-like look made Su Mo quite familiar.
However, the next second, her words made Su Mo’s heart suddenly startled: “And I am pregnant with his child, I don’t want my child to be without a father in the future.”
What?
Su’s father and mother were startled, but they saw Zhong Qingshu pull out a medical record bag from under the bed.
The two of them looked through it carefully, and only raised their heads after a long time, their eyes filled with extremely complicated expressions.
The child is only three months old, which is exactly when Su Mo had the accident. In fact, it is still not too late to abort it now.
However, seeing Zhong Qingshu’s stubborn look, the two could only sigh and keep silent.
Su Mo, lying on the bed, couldn’t help but want to cry. He suddenly remembered that Zhong Qingshu said she would give him a surprise that night.
But he was too tired from work to ask. It turned out that it was not just about moving, but also about hope!
Drops of clear tears flowed down the corners of Su Mo’s eyes and were caught by Zhong Qingshu at the first moment.
Following a burst of excited shouts, several doctors in white coats rushed in again. After a check, they smiled and said, “Well done! This kind of disease requires you to severely stimulate the patient’s nerves. Now there is finally a trend of recovery!”
recover!
These two words immediately surprised the whole family.
That night, Su’s father and mother decisively cashed out all the company’s shares and took out a huge sum of money.
Three hundred million!
If it were in the past, the couple would probably be so happy that they would fly.
But now, considering the vegetative state, these three hundred million do not seem to be enough.
Spring went and autumn came, and on an ordinary afternoon, Zhong Qingshu disappeared for a day.
When she came back, Suma saw an ugly red child being brought in by the doctor.
Although his whole body was still unable to move, the feeling of closeness that was thicker than blood made Su Mo more excited than ever before.
He couldn’t help but want to raise his hand to touch the baby, but what he got in return was control of his eyelids.
The eyelids could move again!
Two days later, the family held a simple celebration ceremony in the ward.
The daughter ‘Su Xin’ is the protagonist.
Su Mo also got a small piece of cake, but unfortunately he couldn’t taste it and could only move his eyelids to indicate.
In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.
As time went by, Su Mo’s condition improved rapidly, of course, this speed was faster than that of other vegetative patients.
Although he was still unable to move below the neck, Su Mo was able to control his vocal cords to make faint sounds.
In just these five years, all the family savings were basically used up, leaving only 30 million.
“Ms. Zhong, for the past five years or so, you have been using the best nutrient solution and the best treatment products, and you have participated in trials organized by top academicians. Especially the latest trial you are going to participate in, the registration fee alone is 10 million. Excuse me for being blunt.” The white coat was silent for a moment: “It is better to let the patient go home and recuperate. Maintaining mental health may be more important.”
Mental health!
Zhong Qingshu turned her head with a complicated expression, but soon shook her head firmly.
“He is mentally healthy, I know that, trust me, I understand him best.”
The doctor had no choice but to retreat.
After such a long time, any ordinary person would have been separated from his wife and children long ago, but Su Mo had no idea where he got the blessing to have such a beautiful girl sacrifice so much for him.
Two months later, the first phase of the trial was launched, with poor results.
Su Mo found that he had lost the ability to speak and his control over other parts of his head was also weakening.
He secretly guessed the worst. This phenomenon was related to the five-phase experiment. If he cured the patient in the first phase, how would he collect the money later?
Sure enough, during the second period these symptoms began to disappear and vocal cord control returned.
In the third period, control of various aspects has improved slightly, but the extent is still unsatisfactory.
The third phase of the trial cost a total of 30 million yuan, which used up all their savings. There were two more phases of follow-up trials. Su’s father and mother gritted their teeth, sold all their property, and borrowed money from relatives and friends. Zhong Qingshu also tried all the channels she could, and finally she could get the money together.
The effect was very good this time. After two phases of the trial, Su Mo completely recovered his ability to speak.
“Qingshu, thank you for your hard work. This day has come too late.”
Seeing Su Mo’s slightly tired expression, Zhong Qingshu said with a tearful smile, “It’s not too late, it’s not too late, it’s never too late!”
She said consolingly: “Life is like a pinball. If you are knocked to the bottom by a sudden disaster, as long as you don’t give up, there will always be a day when you will bounce back!”
“Dad, don’t give up, bounce back!” Daughter Su Xin was also waving and shouting beside him.
“Yes, I do!”
On the hospital bed, Su Mo smiled, and his wise eyes surprised the group of people in white coats around him.
There were cases of vegetative patients recovering, and some even fully recovering, but they had never seen anyone like Suma, who was mentally healthier than a healthy person and had no complaints about life at all.
It’s a pity that the people in white coats don’t know that while those people are just daydreaming in boredom, Su Mo is in an extremely fulfilling classroom, constantly learning new knowledge.
Seven years have passed, and now he has reached the pinnacle of architecture, no less than any academician of architecture on the earth.
And in his mind, there are many new products that have never appeared on Earth.
I have been sinking into the abyss for such a long time, and the time of good times has finally come!
The third to last chapter of this volume was not sent by mistake, don’t worry!
