Natural Disaster Apocalypse

It’s just that any daily necessities are at risk of being robbed. It’s safer to use the official delivery channel, but it’s more expensive, but most people choose to hand it over and pick it up. Every time the place chosen for the transaction is in the neighborhood committee, the room on the No. 1 building has been vacated, but it has not been used for civilian use, and it has been directly converted into a dormitory for the staff of the community service center.

There is a police station next to the newly built community service center, and a small square next to it, which makes both parties feel at ease in terms of safety.

Although there are not many people who ask Yang Jing to make clothes, they can make two or three sets a month. The money they earn and the rice they exchange are enough for consumption, and they don\'t need to suffer from the wind and sun outside. What she does is still something she likes very much. Yang Jing never imagined that she would really be able to have a job in the clothing industry in this life.

Yu Zibai\'s work on the farm is getting better and better. Xu Ming is also on the farm, and he is accompanied by an old acquaintance when he enters. He is also capable. As long as the brain is flexible enough, it is not difficult to learn.

The benefits of Yu Zibai\'s entry into the farm came out after he started working for a month. He learned how to mix fertilizers. Although he entered the animal husbandry department, he was mainly responsible for animals such as pigs, cattle and sheep, but animals still need to eat grass feed. Yes, so a pasture planting area has been specially opened up. He is not responsible for this area, but he will go to help when there is nothing to do, and then learn how to plant scientifically and mix fertilizers.

After learning it, it\'s better to teach Mu Nan and Song Jia than to mess around at home.

Not to mention, as soon as the fertilizer is given, the alfalfa grows up quickly, wishing it could grow a little more in a day.

Mu Nan observed around the grass pot: "It\'s better to feed scientifically. I gave fertilizer before, and if I don\'t give it, it can grow slowly. If I give it, the roots will rot. Now I don\'t dare to fertilize watermelon seedlings indiscriminately. Burnt roots."

Qin Huai accompanied him to rummage in every earthen pot to see if there were any bugs, and said, "In a few days, a board for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences will be opened. If you have any questions, you can ask online."

Mu Nan\'s first reaction was: "Do you want money?"

Qin Huai: "Some require money, and some are free. The free ones are to post questions and wait for the experts in the sector to answer one by one. Those who ask for money are to find an expert alone for one-on-one guidance."

Mu Nan: "Well, that\'s okay. When will it be opened? I want to ask how to fertilize the watermelon. After the watermelon seedlings grow, do they have to be fertilized to bear fruit?"

Qin Huai put the weeds in his hand into the small basket in Mu Nan\'s hand: "You can ask when the time comes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard his mobile phone ring. He took it out and saw that it was Shi Yuanfei\'s message. Mu Nan saw that Qin Huai took a picture of a pile of vegetable pots that hadn\'t grown yet, and asked curiously: "What? Well?"

Qin Huai: "Shi Yuanfei asked about the progress of our family\'s planting business. He probably wanted to buy some food."

Mu Nan clicked his tongue lightly: "It\'s a pity, if you want to eat food, you have to wait at least a few months."

Shi Yuanfei looked at the picture and sighed with a little green and spiky earthen basin. If he wanted to bring some fresh vegetables to the door, it seemed that he was more capable and more confident. Although his career was not favored by his future father-in-law, After all, people like them have to rush to the front line in times of crisis, which is a great guarantee for the safety of the people, but it is uneasy and dangerous for their own family members.

If you can bring some special sense of security to your family during this special period because of your occupation, such as vegetables and meat that cannot be obtained outside, then this dangerous occupation is also a bit beneficial, but it is a pity that it is now, if A little earlier or later, he would be able to come to the door with a burlap bag of vegetables.

So he turned towards Qin Huai resentfully: "Brother, you are too weak!"

This vegetable doesn\'t grow immediately after planting it, so Qin Huai could only send him a helpless emoji.

Mu Nan watched them going back and forth, and asked in puzzlement, "What\'s wrong? Do you have to eat fresh vegetables? Are you constipated?"

Qin Huai rubbed his forehead and chatted insanely: "The son-in-law-to-be came to the door, and wanted to get something popular."

Mu Nan snorted, touched his forehead and said, "Isn\'t it okay to send rabbits? Or later, when we grow watermelons in our family, there will be more noodles for giving watermelons."

Qin Huai said: "People may look down on your rabbit because he brought a hen from Lin Province."

Hearing this, Mu Nan\'s eyes lit up: "Chicken? Can we get chicken now?"

Qin Huai said: "Yes, but we don\'t have it here, but we don\'t have it here. We have it in the province next door, and the potatoes are also obtained from the next door. Some people are well-informed, and they have already figured out a way to carry out truck transportation. Once the materials from the two provinces are resold, they will earn a lot of money." Windfall."

Mu Nan asked curiously, "What do we have here that others don\'t have?"

Qin Huai: "Cables, new types of cables, apart from the central government, our province is the only one."

Mu Nan let out a wow, he didn\'t think about it at all, he kept thinking about what kind of food they had that others didn\'t have, but he didn\'t expect it to be cables.

After checking the vegetable pots on the top floor and cleaning up the weeds, Mu Nan followed Qin Huai to the second floor to feed the rabbits, and Qin Huai asked, "Do you want to go out and play?"

Mu Nan hummed: "Where are you going?"

Qin Huai: "Province."

Mu Nan subconsciously looked at the sun outside, it was extremely hot, if he couldn\'t find a place to put it during the day, it would be very dangerous.

Qin Huai said: "Afraid of the heat? Forget it, the two provinces have just started to communicate with each other, so let\'s wait until we stabilize."

Mu Nan hurriedly said, "Do you have a plan? How long will it take us to drive there? Has the road been cleared and opened to traffic?"

Qin Huai said: "Our province is next to Qinghe. It takes four hours to drive on the high speed. We set off before dark. The speed on the road is slower and we can arrive in the middle of the night. The general situation over there is probably similar to ours, but their over there The environment is surrounded by mountains. Before the city collapsed, all the survivors were transferred to the surrounding mountains. At that time, the flood passed from this side, and the water slowed down. When it reached the other side, it was blocked by the mountains. It is said that only a few places were caused by huge rainstorms. There was a landslide, but it didn\'t do much damage, so maybe it\'s a little bit better over there than our side."

At least it will never be like their side, where the settlement that has finally developed is washed away by a flood.

Mu Nan nodded: "Then we\'re going at night and we\'ll be back before dawn?"

Qin Huai said: "It shouldn\'t be so fast. If there is a place like a hotel to stay temporarily, we can stay for two days, observe the market carefully, and trade with some things. If not, then find someone who is unoccupied before dawn." If the situation is much worse than we expected, then we will come back before dawn, but only we will know what we brought in the car when we came back."

Mu Nan understood Qin Huai\'s meaning in an instant. When he went to Qinghe, he could trade if he could. If he couldn\'t, he could take some things from the space and bring them back. At least a lot of things would be tacitly understood by everyone. Minglu.

Qin Huai said: "When we come back, we can still take out a car. We have our own car in our hands. No matter what we do, it will be more convenient."

Mu Nan, who was really too hot and didn\'t want to go out, listened to Qin Huai\'s analysis, and felt that it would be good to go out once. Although they can eat and drink secretly, if they encounter some emergency situations and need some special things, such as Some medicines can\'t be taken out at any time. If they go out for a trip, they don\'t need to tell others what they bring back one by one. When there is something special at home, people will naturally Think about this trip out.

The most important thing is that his brother seems to want to go out and see what\'s going on outside.

After struggling for a while, Mu Nan asked, "Will it be dangerous?"

Qin Huai said: "It\'s hard to guarantee this, everything has certain risks."

Mu Nan waited for a while before saying: "Then let\'s go, when will we go?"

Qin Huai smiled and looked at him: "Are you not afraid of heat or danger?"

Mu Nan snorted, "Anyway, you won\'t put me in danger alone, so there\'s nothing to be afraid of."

It doesn\'t mean that you can go here, but Qin Huai still asked Shi Yuanfei about it. Someone Shi Yuanfei knew went there. A few small rabbits were replaced, and the adult rabbits continued to be kept, only two. When they went out, they could be placed at Jian Chu\'s house and let him take care of them.

When they go out, they can also bring out some durable things. For example, Mu Nan made a bunch of grapefruit candies before, which can store pumpkins for a month, and bean shreds made by themselves with mung beans. Some home-grown vegetables, presumably there should be a market for these things, but you need to find a reliable intermediate consignee, they can\'t go to the local place to set up a stall and start selling them, they are just two people, and they are easy to be robbed.

But this matter cannot be directly related to Shi Yuanfei, otherwise people can ask them casually what they did this time, which would be too revealing, so Qin Huai decided to take a walk first, and find someone by himself if he had the chance. If you don\'t have a chance, just watch the situation and trade directly in the local market.

The matter of exchanging cables with rabbits was quickly passed by Qinhuai. This kind of work requires a large team, and it was sold to some private contracting factories. Rabbit brought the money, knowing that they were going to Lin province, Song Jia and Jian Chu spent all their money and gave them all the money, so that they could buy something suitable, so they bought it.

Song Jia also lamented: "If it hadn\'t been washed away by the flood, a bag of tomatoes and a bag of peppers in your house would be hard currency."

Mu Nan said: "Rabbits are also meat, so they can be traded as well. Anyway, my brother and I will go there first to check the situation. If we really make money, we will go together next time."

When they first said they were going to Lin Province, Song Jia wanted to follow, but Mu Nan politely refused, which made Song Jia follow. How could they get things from the space? In any case, if there are few people, it is easy to escape.

However, Song Jia felt that all the reasons for the refusal were untenable. To put it bluntly, they wanted to go out in the world of the two of them, and they didn\'t care about their big shiny light bulb!

Jian Chu took over the two big rabbits and a pile of hay that had just grown up, and he still didn\'t forget to tell him: "Safety is the most important thing. If the situation is not right, you don\'t need anything, as long as you come back safely."

Mu Nan nodded, because they didn\'t have much stuff, so they only rented an off-road vehicle. Small cars are not suitable for long-distance travel on such uneven roads. An off-road vehicle is more suitable, although it may burn a little gas , but Qinhuai and the others have a lot of oil, and this consumption is not a problem at all.

Leaving the house in the care of Jian Chu for the time being, Mu Nan waved at them: "Don\'t worry about the downstairs, remember to draw the curtains on the roof and water the watermelons every day."

Jian Chu: "Understood, I guarantee that the rabbits and melon seedlings will be fine when you come back."

Mu Nan and the others left the door after five o\'clock. The sun was still there at this time, but it wasn\'t as fierce as it was at noon. If they were faster, they might be able to reach Qinghe before the sun completely set and it was completely dark.

The two drove out of the residential area, and they were about to get on the expressway within a short time. The place where they lived was already on the edge of the expressway, so they saved a lot of time.

Mu Nan checked carefully in the car. There was no such thing as a driving recorder at all, so he didn\'t worry about what they said and did in the car being recorded, so he put the things that had been organized in the house before into the back of the car. On the seat: "I hope to go today and come back tomorrow!"

Qin Huai smiled while driving: "You don\'t like going out so much?"

Mu Nan: "I\'m tired and hot, I\'m just a salty fish, you can\'t expect me to cheer up."

In the past, when I returned from a long trip, I wanted to lie down for three days. It was a time when all kinds of transportation were convenient. Now it will only be more tiring. Some people just can’t sit still and like to expand their territory constantly. Some people just don’t want to move. The pursuit of life lies in stillness, and it is obvious that Mu Nan is the latter. As for whether Qin Huai is the former, it depends on how much the latter can move.

Qin Huai on the side pursed his lips and smiled, Xianyu is fine, just stay within his circle obediently, if Mu Nan is restless, then he will have a headache. As long as Mu Nan stays by his side obediently, then Mu Nan will never know how terrible his possessiveness is.

There was not a single car on the highway. Some places were cracked by the earthquake. Although no one repaired them, the gaps were not too big. The wheels passed through without any problem. In some places, there were still many abandoned vehicles on both sides of the road. It seems that the earthquake When it happened, there should have been people on the highway, but I don\'t know if those people abandoned their cars and left, or they disappeared, anyway, they didn\'t see any corpses.

At least this part of the highway is safe, so Mu Nan asked Qin Huai to change the driving, let Qin Huai take a rest, and very considerately brought out a bunch of food and drink, trying to make Qin Huai comfortable.

The journey was safe and sound, nothing happened, there were no strange dead animals on the highway, no one stopped the car halfway, and no one took the wrong side road and drove into the wilderness to stage an extreme survival. The car went smoothly in the dark I drove out of the expressway before, and followed the road signs to turn to the Fourth Ring Road of Qinghe.

Like their province, Qinghe also gave up rebuilding in the center of the urban area. The scale was too large. It is said that the number of people who died of the plague in Qinghe was no less than theirs. However, the total population of Qinghe was almost a few million smaller than theirs. At that time, the plague Qinghe was more difficult than their life.

Because of the experience he got from Shi Yuanfei, after getting off the highway, Qin Huai sat in the driver\'s seat again and drove all the way to Qinghe\'s Beishan. Beishan was the first survivor to evacuate. The supplies were relatively sufficient, and it was also a reconstruction. A well-planned new town.

Even within the range of Beishan, there is a toll booth. Seeing the toll booth and the staff in uniform, Mu Nan was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to the prosperous and civilized period before the end of the world, but after passing the toll booth Afterwards, there were no more high-rise buildings, the barren green belts exposed to the sun, and some rickshaws going up and down the mountain to and fro all showed the blurred picture at that moment. It was just an illusion, and this was still in the end of the world.

Looking at the bright streetlights along the road, Mu Nan said: "This side is much better than ours, and it feels like returning to the old city. Although it is a small town outside the third line, it still has the shadow of a city. "

Qin Huai: "Our side will soon be able to rebuild and develop. If there are no more disturbances in the future, the provinces and cities with heavy industries on our side will develop faster, so once some major incidents occur, the heavy losses will be great. will be bigger."

Mu Nan nodded, thinking that what Qin Huai said made sense. Qinghe is not a province of heavy industry. Because there are more mountains and rivers here, so it pays more attention to tourism. As people are more and more partial to some natural environments, Qinghe This place focuses on some original ecology, so there are not many high-rise buildings except in the center of the urban area, which also causes their losses in the earthquake to be much smaller than other first-tier cities.

In addition, there are many mountains and rivers here, even if the temperature is extremely hot, it still has some geographical advantages, but the advantages are often accompanied by some risks. They all live in the surrounding mountains like this now, although they can rely on the coolness of the mountains to escape the heat. But there is also the danger of starting a prairie fire. Like them, there is no need to worry about forest fires, so everything has advantages and disadvantages.

As the car drives further into the mountain depression, the more life can be seen. It is estimated that this place is also a nocturnal place, so it is very lively at night. It is not as crowded as before, but there are not too few people. The main reason is that there are still many vendors setting up stalls. Mu Nan pulled the car window and looked over there. Although he couldn\'t see what other people\'s stalls were selling, he saw so many people doing business in a proper manner. Also feel at ease.

"I thought it would be a scary situation where blood is licking at the knife\'s edge, all kinds of dangerous situations, and there will be a wave of black people and black people at every turn, or just block the road and rob people when there are few people. It seems that I am thinking too much."

He really thought that the situation outside was terrible. In his previous life, he was killed by robbers. He was still in a residential area. Having experienced floods and just survived the cold winter, judging from his own environment, it is really quite apocalyptic, with diseases and hunger, and even fighting for a little food.

But in this life, perhaps he followed the army from the beginning, and the place he chose was also the center of military and political control, so what he saw and experienced was completely different. At that time, he could only follow the people at the bottom Struggling, but in this life, he can drive a car across provinces for transactions, which also caused his perception of some things to be biased.

Qin Huai smiled and said, "Read less novels. If you are abroad, it must be the situation you mentioned. At home, you are in danger of being broken into and hacked to death. But in China, it is really the situation you mentioned. To the extent of this situation, we have already hid in the mountains where there is no one."

If it was really that dangerous, it would be impossible for him to run outside with Mu Nan.

The market over there is not open to traffic, and it is best for them to find a place to stay. Shi Yuanfei gave them an address where they can stay overnight. Zhong should not have that condition now, but it is not convenient for them to go to other friends\' houses, so Qin Huai went around the residential area in this col area, then found the post of the market management, and asked the staff in uniform .

Mu Nan sat in the car and carefully looked outside, his brother said a few words to the uncle in uniform, then went into the sentry box and came back with a note.

As soon as Qin Huai got into the car, Mu Nan asked, "How is it? Is there a hotel here?"

Qin Huai: "How could there be a hotel? If you open a hotel at this time, I\'m afraid you will starve to death. That uncle is quite talkative. Knowing that we came from across the province, he asked us if we would mind renting a room at his house. They have a yard. Parking is available, and the asking price is not high, the rent is two yuan a day, and meals are brought by yourself.”

Two yuan a day is already considered very high. Although I don’t know how much the house price is here, the small third floor of their own house is only 20 yuan a month, but they are newcomers, and they can find a It\'s not easy to find a place to stay.

Mu Nan asked, "Is it safe?"

Qin Huai asked him to hold the simple map: "There are seven people in his family, he and his wife, a son and a daughter, an old mother in her eighties, a niece and a three-year-old son, let\'s start by Go and see, if this is the case, they are probably more afraid that we will not be safe in their house than we are afraid of being unsafe."

Mu Nan thought so too, they are two big men after all: "Then why do you still want us to live?"

As Mu Nan spoke, he glanced at the side face of Qin Huai, who was driving, and frowned immediately: "Maybe I saw that you are handsome, so I fell in love with you and wanted to develop the son-in-law?"

Qin Huai almost slipped the steering wheel and the whole car flew out.
