Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space

The nearest mountain range is over a dozen miles away from here, and even if the government office had horses, they no longer had the strength to reach there.

Seeing the silent guard, the man understood everything, let out a heavy sigh, and a hint of despair flashed through his still clear eyes.

Heaven truly wants to cut off everyone's hope!

"My lord, don't think too much about it. Resting and healing are most important now." The guard managed to squeeze out these words.

…Cough, cough, can he really get better?

Thinking of a brother who had left just yesterday, the guard's heart was also filled with despair.

The man nodded, "Madam, young master, young miss, and your families, are they all well?"

The guard nodded, "All are well."

At least that was the news they received yesterday.

This was the only solace, and also the reason they were grateful to the lord.

Lord County Magistrate did not abandon them or their families, gathering Madam, the young master, and the young miss, and their families in a safe place before they got infected. He also took a large portion of the food and medicine from the residence.

That was why, even though everyone was sick, they were still loyally guarding the government office; otherwise, it would have long been overrun by the crazed mobs with nothing left.

Upon hearing this, the man revealed a slight smile of relief and nodded.

"Go take a rest," he quickly said, seeing the guard swaying.

The guard did not insist on holding on, saluted, and withdrew. Upon reaching the outer room, he couldn't help but lie down on his rest couch, followed by a fit of violent coughing.

The coughs made the man in the inner room clench his fists, then brace himself as he slowly moved from the bed, stood up, and began to walk slowly.

The more he lay down, the weaker he felt. His current body couldn't endure lying down for extended periods; otherwise, it might be difficult to stand again.

Even though he was very weak, he forced himself to walk around the room repeatedly.

This scene was clearly seen by Hua Jin, who had a rather good impression of the man who cared for his subordinates even when he was ill.

At this times, acting like this proved that this lord was not a bad person, at least still retaining humanity.

Seeing the man wobbling in the inner room, Hua Jin looked away and turned to the well in the backyard.

After using nearly twice as much time compared to other places to release more stream water, she went to the kitchen.

She drained the water in the tank completely clean and then filled it up again. But seeing the scant amount of food left in the kitchen, Hua Jin's compassion flared up once more.

With a wave of her hand, half the kitchen was filled, and her gaze fell on the neighboring rooms. Thus, even the firewood room and nearby vacant houses were filled with food, emptying a whole season's worth of grain from the space, not more but about a few tons or so.

Half of it was coarse grain and half fine grain. Thinking about salt and sugar, with another wave of her hand, she took out quite a bit, altogether nearly ten thousand pounds, of course, mostly salt and less sugar, with the sugar being less than two thousand pounds.

These were merely a drop in the bucket for her space storage, especially since her father had discovered a salt lake, there would be no shortage of salt in the future, but various metal materials would be lacking.

Thinking of this, Hua Jin felt it necessary to stay another day to collect more metal materials, as there should be quite a lot in the ruins.

Then she placed all kinds of self-cultivated medicinal herbs that had been sorted by the space, filling an entire room, along with several hundred pre-prepared medicine packs stacked high.

With these, hopefully, these people could recover quickly.

Only when they recover could the order of New Moon City be restored quickly, and at least this food and salt could give the common people a glimmer of hope.

Finally, Hua Jin added some fresh vegetables; to recover faster, vegetables were essential too.

At this time of year, as long as there were seeds, vegetables were not scarce, but unfortunately, seeds were scarce, so Hua Jin left some seeds too, whether crop or vegetable seeds, even some cotton seeds were left behind.

Checked again and left some more medicines that could quickly reduce fever, stop coughing, and act as anti-inflammatory treatments, leaving a note, and Hua Jin was ready to leave.

Almost everything that could be thought of had been left; the rest would depend on fate.

She then left the government office house while holding a stone and threw it forcefully towards the kitchen door.

The noise was so loud that Hua Jin couldn't help but be startled, having unintentionally used too much strength, causing a large hole in the kitchen door. Looking at the hole, Hua Jin turned and disappeared from the place.

With a "bang," the sound startled the guard who had just laid down and closed his eyes, suddenly opening them, and the few others who could move also got up from their beds, including the County Magistrate who was walking inside the room, even he was shocked and slowly exited the room.

"What happened?" he shouted as he walked.

"My lord, I'll go check it out," Cao Zhi, who was already walking out, replied.

At the same time, someone had reached the source of the sound faster than Cao Zhi, seeing the large gap in the kitchen door, the first to arrive were dumbfounded.

The houses of the government office were unlike those of ordinary people, even the kitchen door's wood used was sturdy and durable. It would take a lot of strength to create such a large hole in the door. They were just about to step forward to check when they saw Cao Zhi arrive.

"Leader," the few guards tried hard to stand straight.

Cao Zhi waved his hand, his eyes focused on the large gap in the kitchen door, walked forward and opened the door with the sheath, and everyone inside widened their eyes in shock.

After the shock, everyone looked towards Cao Zhi.

"There seems to be a note here."

One of them pointed to a note pressed by a bunch of vegetables on the wooden plank of the water tank outside and shouted.

At this time, being able to afford paper was considered a luxury, no wonder they shouted.

"What paper?" The man, also the County Magistrate, walked over slowly.

"Greetings, my lord..."

"No need," the ones about to salute were stopped by Liu Hui waving hand.

At this time, even saluting was a strenuous task.

Being able to stand now without food and medicine indicated remarkably good physical condition.

"My lord," someone stepped forward, took the paper from the water tank, and handed it to the County Magistrate with both hands.

There were only a few dozen words, but seeing them made Liu Hui so excited that his body trembled, scaring the people beside him who quickly reached out to support him.

With the lord here, they had a backbone; if the lord was gone, they would truly only have death awaiting them.

"My lord," Cao Zhi also looked anxiously at the County Magistrate.

Liu Hui didn't speak but directly handed the paper in his hand to Cao Zhi, shouting to the others, "Quickly, open all the nearby rooms."

"Yes" upon hearing this, although they didn't understand but still went to the nearby rooms at the fastest speed and forcefully opened the doors, just like before, and were all stunned in place.

After realizing, they simultaneously shouted, "My lord!"

Holding the paper, Cao Zhi finally understood why the lord was so excited. If it weren't for his always tough character, he might have jumped up as well.

Together with the kitchen and firewood room, a total of six rooms were filled with supplies.

At this moment, no one cared about the shock, accompanying the County Magistrate as they walked from room to room.

The whole person felt a sense of bewilderment; for a moment, it was hard to distinguish whether this was a dream or reality.
