Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 56:



Mu Nan said: "At this time, it is very suitable to use a walkie-talkie."

Qin Huai bought this thing, but it’s not easy to take it out. It can’t give others the feeling that their family has everything. In the last life, Mu Nan was alone and didn’t need to keep in touch with anyone. When he came to the government-rebuilt building After the base, there is already an internal LAN, but he is not sure when the internal LAN came out. At that time, the LAN did not cover those private refuge bases. It was an advanced private refuge base. The base was shattered due to various reasons of food supply. , Then I followed the people to the government\'s refuge base. Anyway, it took less than a year to restore local communication.

Qin Huai said: "If you want to take it out, you can pretend to dig it out from the ruins tonight. It\'s not that there is a box. Let\'s go to the cooling point at night. If we can get the solar panels smoothly, then wait , if it doesn’t go well, we’ll go to the shopping mall to search for it, and then you can put some dust on the box and pretend it was found from the inside.”

Mu Nan hurriedly said: "I\'m just sighing, and I\'m not in a hurry. I\'ll see when the time comes. It doesn\'t matter if I take it out or not. Anyway, I live close by, and it\'s just running errands. If you really think it\'s troublesome to come out, We can also agree on a secret signal to knock on the wall, I don’t know if we can hear it on the other side of the wall.”

Qin Huai smiled and said, "I can hear you twice if you shout loudly."

After confirming that Jianchu and the others were not coming to eat together, Mu Nan began to look through the recipes: "Let me see what we are eating today. If the taste is too strong, it will be smelled. Steamed buns are not good, they are a bit boring, and noodles are also not good. No, soup and water are not enough to be hungry."

Seeing him pass one page after turning the page, Qin Huai said directly: "Let\'s eat, bring out some appetizers, pickled beans, pickled vegetables, minced meat, fish-flavored eggplant, what else do you want to eat?"

Mu Nan flipped through the recipes, and said, "Then add a stir-fried seasonal vegetable and a dried Pleurotus eryngii mushroom, do you want to drink the soup?"

Qin Huai shook his head: "There\'s no need for soup. Going out after drinking soup is not a good solution to personal problems." Although many people are not particular about coming here because there are piles of ruins everywhere, but whether it is Mu Nan or him , I am very careful, who knows if there are people or corpses under the ruins now, they would rather use cat litter at home and then take it out and tie a bag to throw it away.

Mu Nan took out a plate of dishes. Although he hadn\'t eaten rice for a few days, he still felt that rice was the best when he ate it again. With the dishes to go with the meal, his appetite instantly increased.

A mouthful of vegetables and then a mouthful of rice, the satisfaction that fills the mouth, the salty aroma of eggplant, and the sourness of pickled cabbage, are simply a powerful weapon for eating. Mu Nan said while eating, "Brother, I suddenly feel a little bit of a sense of crisis."

Qin Huai: "What\'s wrong?"

Mu Nan: "If we continue to eat like this, will the prepared dishes not be enough?" There must be enough rice, his brother\'s rice is collected by the ton, but the dishes feel a little unbearable.

Qin Huai smiled when he heard the words: "Don\'t worry, at least these few years are enough. As for a few years later, if the life cannot be stabilized, then you can only eat the prepared compressed meals, you can only control your satiety, and you can\'t take care of your appetite." It’s gone.” But at that time, if people can’t recover from the natural disaster, and the situation is so bad that they can’t eat a bite of food or meat for a few years, under such a difficult situation, living is probably the most difficult thing. How can I take care of my appetite.

After eating and drinking, Mu Nan sat on the ground by the end of the bed and burped. Qin Huai was cleaning the tail. He poured the remaining fish-flavored eggplant and soup into the rice and mixed it with the rice. He ate it up in two or three bites. An empty box and an empty bowl were left together. Mu Nan took out the garbage bag that was not yet full in the space. After putting today\'s garbage, the bag of garbage was full, tied a knot and put it away again. Space, wait for an opportunity before throwing it out.

Seeing that it was still early for the meeting, Mu Nan took out a digestion ball from the space and put it in his mouth. This was specially bought by Qin Huai, and it was developed by a famous Chinese medicine hospital in City B. The ingredient is hawthorn. Although it is mixed with some other traditional Chinese medicines, it tastes sour and sweet, especially for digestion.

While chewing on the Xiaoshi ball in his mouth, Mu Nan sighed: "When others are not full, I still have to eat Xiaoshi tablets, which is too much."

Qin Huai walked over and touched his stomach, it was bulging, and he had indeed eaten a little too much: "Next time, eat a little less, and eat so much, you won\'t be afraid of feeling uncomfortable." Also blame him, thinking about the physical exertion , It\'s normal to eat more, but forget that he can\'t restrain himself.

Mu Nan was burped by Qin Huai\'s touch: "It\'s been a long time since I ate rice, and the food tastes delicious, so I couldn\'t hold back."

Qin Huai stretched out his hand to pull him up from the ground: "Walk around, or you will vomit if you get hot when you go out later."

Mu Nan walked around the house to digest food: "This must not be possible, what a waste."

It was almost eight o\'clock, and it was time to go out. It was still bright outside at eight o\'clock, but the heat from the sun had subsided. At the very beginning, people still couldn’t go out at this time, even the residual heat of the sun, people couldn’t stand it, and it was nocturnal with no light at all. Now I don’t know if it’s not so hot, or people have passed through these days. I have adapted to the intense heat of the month, and now I can still see the sky for a while, and even more so while I can still see clearly, rescuers are rescued, rummaging for things.

The process of going downstairs today was even more torturous than yesterday, Mu Nan even doubted whether he could climb up to the seventeenth floor with perseverance today, but the hardest part is only these few days, once he fully adapts, it will be much better.

Jian Chu was rummaging along the road with a stick he picked up somewhere, probably trying to find something, Yu Zibai said with a smile: "There must be nothing like this, the things that can be found on the side of the road are basically given to you." picked it up."

Jian Chu said: "Look through it, it won\'t delay anything."

A group of people quickly walked to the cold supply point. The soldiers who were in charge of registering at the cold supply point today were the soldiers who had cooperated with them yesterday. When they saw them coming, they smiled and greeted them: "Today they are all in the back area, which is the door of the North Hall." There, the survivors who were rescued yesterday said that during the chaos, some people ran towards the exit of the North Hall.”

Qin Huai thanked: "Is the captain over there?"

The soldier nodded: "Yes."

When they climbed over the ruins and found the North Pavilion, they saw the captain commanding and dispatching. This captain should be the squad leader of those soldiers. His surname is Yuan. They don\'t know what his name is. They only heard them calling him Ban Yuan, so Qin Huai They also called Captain Yuan.

Looking at the fresh and energetic young men, Yuan Dui had a little idea in his mind. It was too late yesterday and it was dark. When he noticed them, they had already helped rescue for a while, and there was a lot of dust on their bodies. See It’s not as clean as it is today. At this time, I can clean myself. It seems that there are a lot of resources in the house. It’s no wonder that they will look for solar panels. At this time, most people’s goals are to find water and food. , It’s useless to find a solar panel without a generator at home. Most people don’t even think about it.

Seeing them coming, Captain Yuan waved at them and asked directly: "Do you have any plans for today? Do you stay here to help rescue or what?"

Qin Huai said: "Stay here, but I will leave early today. I left too late yesterday, so I couldn\'t go to the cafeteria for dinner."

Team Yuan smiled: "That\'s fine, you go to help first, and come to me when you\'re done, I can make decisions about the solar panels and give you some, as if they were buried in the ruins and couldn\'t be found, but the quantity may not be available too much."

Qin Huai said: "One point is enough, thank you Yuan Yuan."

It is really an unexpected harvest to get solar panels. After all, they didn’t think so much when they saved people before. Seeing that the soldiers over there were busy, Yu Zibai put the small trailer aside. Most of them are soldiers here. Rescue, there are not many ordinary people, so find an inconspicuous place to put the small trailer and no one will move it, so I don\'t worry about losing it.

The north hall was smashed very solidly, unlike yesterday when it was blocked by the big steel roof and left a gap for people to breathe. Now they can be regarded as rescue experience. When you flip the top, you can probably guess the situation below. , whether it is hollow or solid, I have a prediction in my heart, like here in the north hall, I am afraid that there will be no survivors, and what I have to do now is to clear and transport the corpses. The weather is too hot. If the corpses are not cleared and transported, the city is so With a large population, the outbreak of the plague is a matter of time. But even if they were cleaning up without stopping, given the scale of the earthquake and the death toll, the plague might break out soon.

Before the body was found, Jian Chu seemed to have found something, looked around, and saw that the person closest to him was Mu Nan, so he called to him: "Mu Nan, come here."

Mu Nan\'s already hot sweat was dripping down like water, when he heard Jian Chu calling him, he crawled over with difficulty, and then sat down on the pile of rocks: "What\'s wrong?"

Jian Chu was pulling something out, and Mu Nan helped lift the heavy rock. Jian Chu pulled out a compressed flat thing: "Is this a duvet?"

Mu Nan took a look with the flashlight, and it should be a quilt, the vacuum-packed one, compressed very tightly, a quilt is not too small, and holds a little weight in his hand: "Not bad, it can be considered a harvest. "

Jian Chu sighed: "It\'s fine if it\'s water, why do we need a quilt at this time."

Mu Nan said: "It\'s still necessary. It\'s so hot now, maybe when the weather turns cold, it will be very cold, so cold that it\'s covered in heavy snow."

Jian Chu said: "It\'s already February, how can there be winter, I\'m afraid that in summer, the temperature will exceed 60 or 70 degrees, then what, the Flame Mountain in Journey to the West is nothing more than that."

Mu Nan kneaded his arms to relax himself: "Maybe the seasons have been reversed. The current climate can no longer be divided by the previous four seasons. Let\'s drag it back. If you wait until it\'s cold and then look for a quilt, then you won\'t be able to find it." arrive."

Seeing the two of them sitting here without moving for a long time, Qin Huai walked over: "What\'s wrong?"

Mu Nan pointed to the quilt: "Jian Chu found it."

Qin Huai said: "Then you may have found the warehouse." Mu Nan was stunned: "The warehouse? The cooling point has been emptied long ago, where is the warehouse?"

Qin Huai explained: "The warehouse has been moved to the top floor, and the empties are the withdrawn cabinets of various brands, but there are some things that the merchants can\'t move, and those that can\'t be moved are put in the warehouse on the top floor, probably these beddings Or some things that you can’t eat or drink, just look around here, what you can find is nothing.”

He just asked someone to inquire about the environment here, to understand the terrain a little bit, otherwise, after moving for a long time, all the places where no one is moved, wouldn\'t it be a waste of effort.

Knowing that there might be a warehouse below, Jian Chu and Mu Nan immediately cheered up. Although there is no shortage of things in Mu Nan\'s space, of course they can\'t let go if they can stock up. Hoarding makes people happy and addictive.

This is indeed a place to store things. After a while, the two rummaged through and found a compressed quilt. Some soldiers saw that they had found something, so they hurried over to help, trying to save people and collect supplies as much as possible.

After working in the middle of the night, I cleared out a pile of bedding and clothing, as well as a lot of daily chemical products, but the daily chemical products are not for washing, but for skin care, such as face cream, hand cream, and basic products in porcelain bottles. They are all broken, but some of the colloidal plastic packaging are barely usable.

Mu Nan and the others didn\'t ask for too much. They sorted out some bedding, quilts and sheets, and took some thick clothes according to their body types. The clothes were all long and short down, and they didn\'t have any summer clothes. It was emptied out, and a box of genuine products and samples of daily chemicals was packed. After taking a few steel bowls, the trolley was already full, and they would put solar panels later, so they didn’t want too much, anyway. They can\'t eat or drink either, and those quilts and clothes can be used for a few years. Just take some of them for your own use, and let the soldiers take away the rest.

Because they remembered to go back early and go to the medical team to check on Xu Ming\'s situation, so they went to Team Yuan around three o\'clock. They didn’t give them too much solar panels, just gave them seven yuan. Although they rushed to collect a lot at that time, some of them were broken, and some of them seemed to be repairable even though they were broken. But now they are also looking for Those who don\'t know how to do it can only put it aside for the time being. The seven boards were found by Team Yuan and can be used directly. Seven boards should be enough to supply the basic electricity needs of a family.

Several people thanked them again, and put the solar panel in the middle of the quilt and other things. It\'s better not to expose such things, so as not to be too eye-catching. After taking the canteen tickets that belonged to them today, several people embarked on the way home with a full load.

Mu Nan looked at the truck full of things and worried: "Are we going to move it up later?" The solar panels alone are heavy enough, if it\'s just him and Qin Huai, I don\'t know if the things are stored in the space. How easy it is, but now, I\'m afraid they have to rely on manpower to carry it up.

Yu Zibai said: "You and Qin Huai just take your things, Jian Chu waits below, I should be able to finish moving after two trips."

Qin Huai said: "The vacuum bag outside the quilt is still very thick, later use a rope to tie a few quilts together, Nan Nan, you just drag the rope up the stairs, and put the quilt on the ground and drag it up, so it doesn\'t take much effort. The three of us will use a trailer to carry the things we need, so let’s go layer by layer, take a rest on the upper layer, it’s easier than running twice.”

Mu Nan felt that it was a challenge for him to be able to climb up to the seventeenth floor, and it was not easy to help them share the weight of the quilt. Get a good massage. I didn\'t find any survivors today, but I didn\'t find any corpses. I asked Qin Huai if he had any appetite to eat meat at night. He felt tired and thin these days, so he needed to drink some soup to make up for it.

There were a lot of people in the cafeteria, and it was too tempting for them to drag so many things, so Qin Huai found an inconspicuous corner for them, and let Jian Chu and Mu Nan stay here: "There will be soldiers here. Patrol from time to time, you stay here and be vigilant, if you meet someone with malicious intentions, you will shout, if you can’t shout, you will run, and if you don’t have something, it’s gone, do you hear me?”

Mu Nan nodded humbly: "Understood, you guys go and come back quickly."

Qin Huai took Mu Nan\'s backpack, which contained meal tickets and lunch boxes, and Yu Zibai also took a few steel bowls that had just been dug out. He didn\'t know if Xu Ming needed it, anyway, he took it with him and asked him.

This is the first time for them to come to the medical team. The medical team has already generated electricity and supplied air conditioners. Because there are too many injured people, it can no longer be accommodated in one or two tents, so they temporarily pulled out some partitions from the ruins. A thick insulation cloth was pressed with stones, and a roof was made by splicing east and west, and a large roof was covered outside the roof. Several air conditioners were placed in different corners for cooling and air supply, and a few in the middle The big electric fan kept shaking its head to blow air, and it was doing everything possible to cool down here.

And the people in the tent are almost all lying on the ground, there are not so many beds for people to lie on, some are a little better, the consciousness is clear, just staring at the ceiling numbly, not paying any attention to the movement beside them Some people don’t know whether they are asleep or in a coma. The gauze wrapped around their bodies is blood red. There are too many broken legs and hands. With limited water resources, there is no way to wash those wounded. At this moment, someone carried away a wounded person from the shed, saying that the wound was festering, and in the absence of anesthesia, the carrion had to be cut off and reapplied with medicine.

The scenes at the scene were too tragic, and the wailing of pain was endless, which is why Qin Huai didn\'t let Mu Nan come over. I\'m afraid Mu Nan wouldn\'t want to eat anything today after seeing this scene.

There are relatively few people in the medical team. Even though the army rescued the hospital immediately, there were not many medical staff rescued, so they quickly asked about Xu Ming\'s situation. In the nearby tent, when the two were looking for it, Xu Ming had just returned from eating. When he saw them coming, he smiled and said, "I think you will come to me in the next two days. How is the situation at home?"

Yu Zibai nodded: "It\'s okay, you\'re not going up?"

Xu Ming shook his head: "I can\'t go up, I can\'t leave people here." It is said that it is a shift, but in fact, there is no way to rest for too long, at most sleep for an hour, and I have to get up to help. Since he went to work, This is the first time to save people to the point of continuous rotation.

Yu Zibai said: "We found some quilts today, do you want them? If you want, I will leave a bed for you."

Xu Ming nodded: "Then leave me a bed." Then he gave Yu Zibai the key to his house: "If you come down tomorrow, help me bring all the medicines at home. All the medicines are in the refrigerator. If you take it out and leave it for use, it will be too hot.”

Yu Zibai took the key and nodded: "Do you want to bring your self-promotion pot as well?"

Xu Ming shook his head, seeing that there was no one around, so he whispered to them: "Don\'t rush to rescue, after these few days, there is no way to save many living people by human power, so hurry up and search more in these two days. Find some food to take home and stock up, and don’t go out if you can’t go out.”

Yu Zibai: "What happened?"

Qin Huai said: "It should be a plague." After a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe. With such a high temperature and so many deaths, it is almost impossible not to have a plague.

Xu Ming sighed: "Actually, it is best to leave here, but there is no such condition to leave. I am afraid that the earthquake is not limited to our city. I have also heard a lot of news in the past two days. The communication is disconnected, but the satellite can I can answer all the calls for help. The situation outside may be even worse. The most important thing now is food. We live on a high floor. You must clean and disinfect after returning home, rather than drinking a sip of water , the body must be cleaned, and the doors and windows are sealed tightly, although I have learned a lot in theory, but now that so many people have died, no one knows how terrible the plague will happen."

As Xu Ming spoke, he sighed again: "It\'s really best to be able to leave here. It might be safer if we can find a mountain den to hide for a while, but unfortunately there are no mountains on our side, so we can walk out of this city with our legs. , I\'m afraid the plague will break out before we get out of the third ring, I\'ll pay more attention to some news here, and I\'ll let you guys know if there\'s any new situation."

This is the only way to go at the moment. The two looked at each other with heavy expressions on their faces. They asked Xu Ming for directions, and they found the cafeteria. Usually, the cafeteria has the most people at five or six o\'clock, and that\'s when the day is almost over. After receiving the food, the people went back to their respective tents, and went to bed directly after eating. It\'s only less than four o\'clock, and there aren\'t many people yet, but the big pot of rice is already on the stove.

Maybe the above is also trying to prevent the spread of the plague. In such a hot weather, the chefs in the cafeteria still wear masks. People can\'t get close to the dining table, at least half a meter away, and put the lunch box on the dining table. What to eat? After getting the meal ticket, the master will print it for you, and then put it in the meal pick-up area, trying to prevent the dirty people from the rescue from getting close to the food.

Yu Zibai and the others hadn\'t eaten for a long time, so they went directly to the dining area. Although the rice seems to be rice mixed with coarse grains, there is only one kind of dish, which is a big pot dish. You can see potatoes, mushrooms and fungus in it. It seems that some dried vegetables should be rehydrated and fried. In addition, there are corn tortillas with added sugar, and fist-sized steamed buns,

A meal ticket can only receive one main dish, one dish, or two main dishes. Those dishes are Mu Nan\'s dislike, and the taste of this kind of big pot stir-fry is probably average, so Qin Huai directly exchanged all the meal tickets I haven\'t eaten the steamed buns and tortillas, so I changed them.

The two people who were waiting outside sat on the ground fanning the wind, and drove away the mosquitoes by the way. After waiting for a long time, they became a little impatient: "What are they doing for so long?"

Mu Nan said, "Maybe there are more people in the cafeteria."

Jian Chu sighed: "I don\'t know what to eat in the cafeteria."

Mu Nan, who knew what was there, also sighed: "It should be something that is not very tasty." I hope his brother will not eat those meals that have no taste except a little salt, he would rather eat steamed buns.
