Natural Disaster Apocalypse

After returning from the mountain and cleaning up the house, they replaced the air conditioner in the bedroom and installed the previous one, so the air conditioner was able to operate normally after the power was turned on last night, but whether the one that had been soaked in water before can still be used is up to you. I no longer know.

Hearing that the neighbors said that all the electrical appliances in their house were scrapped, Mu Nan didn\'t feel ashamed to say that the air conditioner was blown all night last night, so he just said: "We haven\'t tried it yet, we will try it later, if it is broken, when the time comes Let’s see if I can find someone knowledgeable to help me, I don’t know where the air conditioner is broken because of the water, it would be great if there are parts that can be replaced.”

Jian Chu followed with a sigh: "The main reason is that there are no electrical appliances to buy now. The entire residential area has been soaked in big water, and it is too late to save lives. I don\'t know how much those supplies have been lost. Where can I sell air conditioners now?"

In such a hot day, it is too difficult without air-conditioning. Even if people have gradually adapted to the current high temperature, after all, those who cannot adapt have been eliminated. However, adaptation is one thing, but comfortable adaptation and extreme adaptation are another. Something happened, so in order to cool down, people have used all kinds of methods. It is said that because there are too many people going to Monkey Mountain, they have been besieged.

In addition to the cave on the top of the Monkey Mountain, there are also small caves dug out by some people before, which can accommodate a small family. After the water here receded, many people occupied a cave on the mountain early, probably I just thought that the environment at the bottom of the mountain must not be very good. The damage caused by the flood is to a certain extent worse than the damage caused by the earthquake. Some of the earthquakes can still be used after being dug out, but those washed away by the flood may not be able to continue to be used. , water and high temperature, plus mosquitoes, just think about how terrible the environment will be.

There are too many people going here, and the existing holes are only those. Some people began to think about finding a place to dig holes again, so the above directly drove everyone to the residential area, and the behavior of digging holes without permission was not allowed at all. I am worried that such damage to the mountain may cause it to collapse. Because of the natural environment, the two large caves on the Monkey Mountain have stored a lot of supplies. Now the military has begun to arrange people to station there, and ordinary people are not allowed to go there.

When people are all gathered in the residential area, although the shortage of food is beginning to appear, it is not the most urgent. Now the prevention of mosquitoes and cooling is the top priority.

The population is large and the demand is great, and they don\'t have any special background. Even if they have a lot of assets, it is much better than many people with negative assets or nothing, but it is not so good. The extent to which such scarce goods can be obtained at such a special time, so when the refrigerator and air conditioner at home are damaged by water, they really have nothing to do.

Even Mu Nan has only one spare in the space, and there is no way to take out another one, so there is really no way for them to help improve the situation at home.

Seeing that Mu Nan was also frowning, Jian Chu fanned the wind and said, "I remember that there is an air conditioner on the second and third floors of your house, but all of them are broken?"

Mu Nan shook his head: "I haven\'t tried it yet, I don\'t know if it\'s bad or not."

Jian Chu clicked his tongue: "I haven\'t tried it, why are you following the sorrow, try it first and then talk."

Mu Nan looked upstairs: "My brother is tossing around on the second floor, let\'s try the one with the worst flooding first, is Xu Ming\'s house also broken?"

Jian Chu: "I don\'t know. He didn\'t reply yesterday. I think he will come back tonight. We\'ll try again at that time. We talked about it before. Xu Ming said that if the water on the third floor is not serious and the air conditioner still works, then it will be time." Find a way to make a hole in the second floor staircase."

Mu Nan hummed suspiciously: "Punch a hole? Why?"

Jian Chu pointed to the turning of the stairs: "It would be great if both of our air conditioners are good, and if there is a good one, it will be installed on the stairs on the second and third floors, and the doors are open upstairs and downstairs. , a little bit of air-conditioning can enter the living room, and when the door is closed, you will live in the living room. If both of them are broken, then there is really no way."

The two were talking on the first floor, and Qin Huai poked his head out from the stairs on the second floor: "Come up and talk, the air conditioner is good."

Mu Nan was overjoyed immediately, and Jian Chu also went upstairs happily: "That\'s great, at least there is something that can be used."

Qin Huai tried the cabinet machine that was originally used in the living room on the third floor. It was moved from the ruins when he first arrived here. The cabinet machine on the second floor has been tried just now, and it must have been soaked in water for too long. , Even if it is disassembled, cleaned and dried, it still cannot be used.

Qin Huai intends to put this still-usable cabinet machine on the second floor. After all, the second floor will also have to grow things at that time. In the evening, he will replace the two air conditioners on the third floor. The old one was still in the bedroom, and the one they hadn\'t seen was in the living room on the third floor.

Because the rooms on the second floor were closed, after the air conditioner started to cool down, the heat in the room dropped in a short while. For Jian Chu who had been in the heat for almost a month, it was like heaven: "It\'s so comfortable. "

Mu Nan said: "Sleep at my side in the afternoon, it will be comfortable for a while."

Jian Chu was not polite to Mu Nan. Yu Zibai had already gone to the farm. He left early and returned late. He had to leave before the sun came out at dawn and came back after dark. Now there was no water at home. When I first arrived, all the electrical appliances were broken, so I didn\'t have time to grow something at home, so I came to chat with Mu Nan when I had nothing to do.

It\'s definitely impossible for him to stay at someone\'s house at night, it\'s really too hot during the day, thinking that it\'s only a day or two to disturb him, so he agreed.

Qin Huai went upstairs and took down the air mattress they had used in the cave before. The air mattress was inflated again, but this time it was filled with an air pump, which was much more inflated than manual blowing, and took two more The blanket came down: "You guys go to sleep. I\'ll go to the top floor to try to see if the air conditioner I installed before works. If it works, then open the door on the top floor and see if you want to live on the top floor."

Jian Chu nodded again and again: "It\'s okay, and I hope it\'s good."

Not long after Qin Huai went upstairs, the nap of two people on the second floor of Mu Nan\'s house quickly turned into a nap of three people and one dog.

Song Jia: "My brother is repairing it, and I don\'t know if it can be repaired."

Jian Chu wowed: "Your brother can repair air conditioners?"

Song Jia shook his head: "No, but he can disassemble the machine. He said that most of the things in the air conditioner are actually not afraid of water, only the main board is afraid of water. He took the main board down and took it to the factory. Isn\'t he an electromechanical factory? , I asked someone before, someone has been a repairman before, and he knows a little bit, let\'s see when the time comes, if it can be repaired, the air conditioner in your home may also be a problem, then it will be useful."

Jane prayed before going to bed: "I hope it can be repaired. As long as the air conditioner is good, we can start our own businesses at home."

The top of the building was previously installed with a hanger, because it was hung high, so there was no water, but Qin Huai still removed the machine and cleaned it all. Now after powering on, it was tested directly, and it was running normally, because the hanger has no cabinet. The number of horses is large, and although the outside has been protected by heat insulation, I don\'t know if it can resist as the temperature gets higher and higher.

After dealing with the upstairs, when Qin Huai went down to the second floor, he saw the three people sleeping side by side on the mat, and they had already fallen asleep comfortably under the cooling of the air conditioner. Niuniu probably knew it was him when she heard footsteps. So I just opened my eyes and took a look, then curled up my tail and continued to sleep.

Qin Huai smiled, turned around and went upstairs, there happened to be an air conditioner, so he reorganized the shelves on the top of the building. Although the water hasn\'t come in yet, it should be soon, so he can start breeding.

The water ingress on the third floor should not be serious, it may have been hit by the flood, but it did not soak in the water for a long time, so the electrical appliances on the third floor are all good, Song Jia and his family only broke the cabinet on the second floor, and the three After dismantling the machine on the first floor, cleaning it and drying it, it can start normally. Jianchu and the others were the most unlucky, because they lived on the second floor and were busy transferring food and the like to the third floor. The air conditioner and refrigerator didn\'t have time to install them, so they all broke down.

Because Xu Ming was away from home for a long time, he simply moved the refrigerator downstairs. Anyway, he was eating with them at home, and he didn\'t use the refrigerator much. If the air conditioner couldn\'t be repaired by then, he would move the air conditioner upstairs. After all, there are many ways to do it, and mutual support won\'t kill you.

With the help of the several of them, they finally settled their life after the flood. The air conditioner also gave others a lot of money for repairs. Fortunately, it was repaired and used. If it can’t be repaired, it’s really not worth buying. Know where to buy.

On the day Jianchu and his family turned on the air conditioner, the water pipes were turned on, but the water was only available for a limited time, and it was only turned on for one hour a day. If they needed water, they had to find something to catch it in advance.

Mu Nan looked at the not-so-clean water, and said strangely: "The heavy rain has just passed, and the accumulation of rainwater was so high before, there shouldn\'t be a shortage of water for now, why is there a time limit?"

Qin Huai said: "There is no shortage now, and there may be a shortage soon. Maybe the higher-ups have started to plan ahead."

Mu Nan squatted in the bathroom and sighed as he looked at the container with the water level rising little by little. There were large containers placed upstairs and downstairs where there were water pipes. It was the same as before in the urban area. The faucets were not turned off every day. Yes, as soon as the water comes in, start to pick up the water directly, and empty the water in the container every day. The more troublesome thing is to filter and disinfect.

But they don\'t have anything else to do right now, and it\'s nothing to spend an hour or two messing with water.

Because of the water connection and electricity at home, Qin Huai and Mu Nan couldn\'t continue to be lazy, so they started to go back to their old jobs.

The tomatoes and peppers they planted before were fed to the rabbits. During the rest period, they didn’t do anything. At least they re-fertilized the soil. This time they planned to plant Chinese cabbage, but when they were looking for Chinese cabbage seeds , Mu Nan saw the watermelon seeds, so he looked at Qin Huai eagerly.

Qin Huai felt that it didn\'t matter what to plant, and if there would be a prolonged water shortage, crops like watermelons would be more valuable, so he followed Mu Nan\'s wishes and planted watermelons on the top floor.

The Chinese cabbage on the second floor does not need sunlight like watermelons. It is enough to open the curtains of the balcony every morning and afternoon and let the sun in to dry it. However, watermelons need a long period of sunshine to grow well, but now the sun Even weeds can\'t handle the pungentness of this kind of melon, let alone this kind of melon.

But in order to allow Mu Nan to share the watermelon with his friends openly, Qin Huai thought of a compromise method, installing a one-way mirror on the roof, using the refraction of sunlight to increase the sunlight in the house, but not completely opening the windows Let the temperature and the intensity of the sun in the room be too harsh for the crop to grow.

It is thanks to Wang Xiaoli that the one-way mirror can be bought. Although Mu Nan has it in Space, there must be a proper source. They thought before, how about it like last time, without saying where it came from. Let’s just say that I found an acquaintance to make a set, went out with rice noodles, and came back with a mirror. Anyway, the neighbors would not ask too much.

It\'s just that after connecting to the Internet, Qin Huai and Wang Xiaoli added each other. He was just asking casually, thinking that Wang Xiaoli even got the boat at that time, and he seemed to be living outside, so he might be able to know some news. When I asked, Wang Xiaoli really had connections.

And the other party can also use money to trade, but the price is a bit expensive, the mirrors are all the same size, a half-length mirror with a width of 60cm and a length of 80cm, and a mirror costs 30 yuan.

This thing can\'t be eaten or drunk, and it can\'t be put away casually. After all, it is a fragile product. Fortunately, this thing is not afraid of soaking in water, so it was backlogged in a room without windows. After a flood, only a few sides were broken. , There are still a bunch of them left, but they can’t be sold very well. It’s not good to buy something to eat and drink with that money. What’s the use of buying a mirror.

But after the earthquake, it was hard to save so much, and it was really reluctant to sell it cheaply. The main reason is that all production is now focused on the immediate needs of life. It doesn’t matter whether you want things like mirrors. Fuck, run to build some kind of mirror factory, so this is the only one in the market today, although no one buys it.

With Wang Xiaoli in the middle, Qin Huai finally asked for ten mirrors, and the price was kept at 20 yuan a side. Fortunately, he had exchanged a few hundred yuan through those gauze cloths, otherwise he might have to trade for food now.

The mirror was dragged back, and the installation was not an easy task. It was difficult to adjust the angle of refraction up and down so that the sunlight could shine into the room, and it was necessary to fix the mirror. After several days of tossing and turning, Jian Chu and Song Jiadu came to help, and finally let a planting area on the top floor be illuminated by the sun for a long time.

As for other places, of course they can\'t all grow watermelons, just plant a row, and it will be enough to produce a dozen or so by then, don\'t do it on such a large scale, and plant alfalfa grass for other places that can\'t get the sun, and rabbits are still at home. The main force of the source of income.

Every morning and evening, Qinhuai would open the curtains upstairs and downstairs, so that the plants in the house would be exposed to the sun when the sun was not so hot. Otherwise, the temperature could be maintained in a suitable range, but if the sun was not exposed to the sun, the plants would not be exposed to the sun. way to grow. When it’s hottest, I pull down the curtains to block it, and use a one-way mirror to dry the watermelons. I only hope that after such a toss, it will grow as expected.

It was only when they relaxed from their busy schedules that they realized that the New Year was over. At the beginning, they said that they would celebrate the New Year together and offer incense to Hu Xuan, but before the New Year came, they were forced to run out by the flood. I took refuge, and when I came back, I was busy reorganizing my home, working to earn food, and repelling mosquitoes to cool down the heat, but I didn\'t think about this year at all.

When Mu Nan was still playing with his mobile phone, he suddenly wanted to see how many months had passed, only then did he realize that the last month of the year had already passed.

Thinking of the look of each one full of anticipation during the previous plan, Mu Nan sighed: "We agreed to have New Year\'s dinner together."

Qin Huai: "The rabbit can be killed."

Eating grass every day, the little rabbits have gained a lot of fat. A little rabbit weighs at least three catties. Killing a few will satisfy everyone\'s hunger. The main reason is to thank Qin Bing. With them evacuating ahead of time, and waiting for them to follow the large army, life might not be so comfortable.

Mu Nan rolled around on the bed, and rolled to Qin Huai\'s side: "Then I\'ll make an appointment with Qin Bing, and I\'ll drag Qin Bing to our compound, so I won\'t ask you one by one, girl Shout out there too, it’s time to eat New Year’s dinner.”

Qin Huai asked him to make an appointment with someone by himself, and he would only need to be in charge of cooking. When Mu Nan sent a message in the group, he was still thinking that he hadn\'t made a friend in four years of college, so he could classify him as a friend. Friends, it\'s the end of the world, but he has more friends.

In the past, this kind of gathering probably didn\'t happen three times in the entire university. Now that it\'s the end of the world, it\'s really amazing that we get together again and again.

Qin Bing is naturally polite in the group. Now life is getting more and more difficult. Although the online shopping mall is open, even some daily necessities, such as towels, quilts, pots and pans, have to be purchased with limited purchases, especially rice, noodles, grains and oils. It has not been put on the shelves yet, especially when he is in the army. Although many grassroots powers have been handed down now, for example, each district has begun to re-establish community neighborhood committees. When there is any problem, it will go to the government\'s neighborhood committees and not them.

But important materials, such as planting land, are still in the hands of the military, so he knows far more about the current food scarcity than ordinary people.

It is precisely because of this that he feels that Qin Huai\'s family\'s current conditions are considered good, but they can\'t be so indulgent. The hard days are still to come. Now Qin Bing can\'t wait to let them eat as little as possible every day and save a little. In this case, they still have dinner together , is too extravagant.

But in the end, Qin Bing was persuaded by Mu Nan. The celebration of the rest of his life and the belated New Year\'s Eve dinner have been tense for a year, and he must relax a little. There are too many people who have collapsed now, and who knows what will happen tomorrow? What will happen again, happy day is day. This time, the place for dinner is Jian Chu\'s house, because Qin Huai and his family have already placed a lot of vegetable dishes on the second floor. Originally, Mu Nan said to move the vegetable dishes to the third floor for a while, but Jian Chu felt that there was no need to be so troublesome. Eating is not eating, and they live close by. If you need anything, you can go there to get it at any time, so I decided to stay at their house. The living room of their house is still empty, which is just right.

Although Mu Nan said that he wanted to kill rabbits, with so many people, at least three rabbits had to be killed, but it was impossible for the others to come empty-handed. Several packets of melon seeds were contributed, which provided important props for the heart-to-heart exchanges after tea and dinner.

Jianchu\'s family produced canned food. Because he likes to eat corn, he took the most canned corn at the beginning, so he contributed several canned corn and luncheon meat. Fortunately, these things are not afraid of soaking in water, otherwise these cans may not be kept.

Soon Qin Bing also came over, carrying a bag of canned eight-treasure porridge in his hand, and he had nothing to bring. After all, he was not like Qin Huai and his family who could cook with a fire. Eight-treasure porridge was still the condolence product given by the above injured, so in comparison, although he has no worries about food, he is also the poorest.

Mu Nan said: "They said that you are not allowed to bring anything, we have enough food here."

Qin Bing smiled shyly: "It\'s the first time I come to a party without bringing anything, just some eight-treasure porridge. Well, do you like eight-treasure porridge?"

Jian Chu smiled and said: "I like it, come here and cool off, is your leg healed?"

Qin Bing nodded: "Okay, training has resumed."

Song Jia said: "Does that mean the inspections will resume soon?"

Qin Bing shook his head and said: "I don\'t think so. The troops will withdraw back to the base soon. At that time, the authority will be delegated to the government. If there is any problem in the future, we will go to the community to solve it as before. The police department has already circled it. Alright, the place to rebuild, the one closest to you is the one on the side of the small square, if something happens, call the police directly."

Mu Nan said: "Are you going back to the base? Then you won\'t come here again?"

Qin Bing also thought of this, so he agreed to this dinner party. After all, after returning to the base, he should not come here if there is nothing to do: "Although it will not be like before, as long as the communication continues, we can still contact. If there is I will also tell you any special news."

Song Jia asked curiously, "Then what are you going to do after returning to the base?"

Qin Bing thought for a while: "It\'s probably the same as before. Learning and training, I just hope that there is nothing wrong and don\'t go out all together. Usually this kind of all out is only when something happens and needs rescue. So it\'s good to be able to return to the previous study and training. Now, if the days can slowly improve, maybe the provinces will reopen to traffic, and then they will be able to find their families."

Although the separation is somewhat unhappy, such a separation indicates that the future may get better and better, which is at least a happy thing.

Everyone in the room started to work again, chatting and killing rabbits at the same time, when they heard the knock on the door, they thought it was Xu Ming who had come back, Qin Huai walked over to take a look and said, "It\'s Yu Feng, I\'ll bring him up. "

They all know who Yu Feng is, but they haven\'t had much contact with each other. Although it\'s not unwelcome, after all, he helped their small courtyard back then, saving Mu Nan, hoarding rice, just a little curious. Even if there are too many people who intersect, how come it seems that the relationship is getting better all of a sudden.

Jian Chu asked Mu Nan, "Do you often keep in touch in private?" He was also wondering if the gauze cloth before was due to Yu Feng\'s relationship.

Mu Nan shook his head: "No contact, I don\'t know, maybe my brother has more contacts."

When Yu Feng came up, he greeted everyone generously: "Friends who survived the catastrophe, hello everyone."

Everyone still has a good impression of Yu Feng, who has the image of a calm big brother, and he is talkative, has the heartiness of a soldier, and has mature social experience. It is a pleasure to talk to this kind of person, and many Competent friends can be regarded as many paths, everyone quickly accepted Yu Feng, and gradually became familiar with each other.

Yu Fenglai didn\'t come empty-handed either. When he went up to the second floor of Jianchu\'s house, he put a burlap bag on the ground: "There\'s nothing good, but I have some acquaintances on the farm, so I bought some potatoes in advance." Serve with pork."

When everyone heard this, they quickly gathered around. Potatoes and pork are not considered good things, so what are they considered good things! What\'s more, potatoes, this is the easiest food to grow. If you plant a potato, you can harvest a bunch of potatoes! This acquaintance relationship is amazing!

When Xu Ming came home from work, he heard the lively laughter upstairs, and he couldn\'t help but relax a lot. He never thought that one day, because of a group of friends he met halfway, he would feel like a home in a place. It\'s just that when I went upstairs, I saw a person who shouldn\'t be here, and I was surprised: "Why are you here?"

Yu Feng showed his white teeth with a smile, and put his hand on Qin Huai\'s shoulder: "My friend invited me here."

Everyone doesn\'t know the deep meaning of this sentence is, if you don\'t bring me here, I will come as a friend!

If it weren\'t for the character design not allowing it, Xu Ming would really give him a big white eye in front of everyone.
