Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 108:

Jiang Xuan's appearance is still deceptive to a certain extent. Although due to limited conditions, it is really impossible to clean his body clean, and there is still a bit of stubble on his face, but people's facial features are there. If you tidy up a little, you can still far surpass most people Yes, when he asked Daniel with a polite smile: "Excuse me, the Mu Nan you mentioned just now, I have a friend with the same name. I don't know if it is the same name or the same person. He has an older brother." , called Qin Huai." At that time, Daniel was not on guard at all, after all, who would think of a person as bad, and this person doesn't look like a bad person.

Daniel quickly said: "That's a coincidence, it should be the same person, the Mu Nan I know also has an older brother named Qin Huai."

Jiang Xuan immediately made an expression of surprise: "It's really them, it's great that they're fine, I'm Qin Huai's classmate, my name is Jiang Xuan, hello."

Daniel said: "I am a neighbor they have lived with for a short time, you can just call me Daniel."

Jiang Xuan said: "Do you know where they live now? Are they also in the greenhouse?"

Daniel said: "No, they live in District Two."

Of course, Jiang Xuan knows where the No. 2 district is. Townhouses are two households, but some people rent together with several people, and the family lives on the first floor. I don’t know if Qinhuai and the others are like this. He and Mu Nan are just two people. There is absolutely no need to spend twenty points to rent a house alone. With those points, it is better to stock up on more food. Jiang Xuan even thought in his heart that it would be great if he had the opportunity to rent a house, but there really is Such an opportunity should not be his turn.

Although some wanted to know the news about Qinhuai, in Jiang Xuan's heart, he didn't really hope that they would have a good life, and even thought about it countless times, this kind of end times, harsh environment, and scarce resources In the days when it was difficult to even eat enough, Qin Huai brought his family's oil bottle that he couldn't carry on his shoulders or hands, maybe the more he got around, the worse he got. A meal needs to be shared between two people, and one person's labor force needs to support two people. You don't need to think about it. Qin Huai and Mu Nan must pay for Qin Huai. What's the use.

Maybe in these days of suffering, the two will get tired of seeing each other. He has seen too many examples of this. Wasn't that the case with the couple just now? I'm afraid everyone envies them in normal times. When this troubled world comes, those who have learned from each other wish they could kill each other.

He still remembered the year of his sophomore year in high school, when Mu Nan had just graduated from junior high school, and his class invited them to go climbing and having a barbecue in the forest park. There was a two or three year age gap between them, so Qin Huai took Mu Nan along. At that time, Mu Nan was coquettish and coquettish, and the heavy objects were no bigger than his hands. Qin Huai was carrying them on his back, and he was going up the mountain wearing a sun hat Running back and forth on the road, he was pulled back by Qin Huai for water and drink, and Qin Huai pulled him to wipe his sweat for a while. Qin Huai never took his eyes off him. Mu Nan was also fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was like a person who couldn't take care of himself. Mommy.

When Qin Huai made the barbecue, he was in charge of eating it, and he also hated what was sticky or old. He caught bugs, teased the dogs, and chased the pet dogs that he brought with him for an outing all over the field. He couldn't rest for a moment. , Tired from playing, Qin Huai had to carry the road down the mountain. Fortunately, the road was a mountain road dedicated to vehicles and not stairs. Qin Huai was exhausted, so he still felt at ease sleeping on Qin Huai's back.

Jiang Xuan has never seen such a shameless person, if it's Qin Huai's real brother, then forget it, he's just a neighbor's kid, why not.

There is a saying that Jiangshan is easy to change and nature is hard to change, so he doesn’t believe it, just Mu Nan, who is so lazy and likes to depend on others for everything, how well he can live in this world with his own ability, is not everything. You have to rely on Qin Huai, no matter how much Qin Huai likes Mu Nan, sooner or later he will get tired of it.

He must live a better life than them, let Qin Huai see, compared to him, what use is that rice bug other than a drag!

With such malice in his heart, he pretended to care on the surface: "Then do you know how they are doing now? It's such a cold day, and I don't know how to survive at home."

Daniu thought he was really concerned, smiled and said: "It's been a good life. I have a kang at home and it's hot. It's much more comfortable than this warm shed. Qin Huai is a visionary. Back then they were the first Those who have been approved have chosen a good location to settle down, and have accumulated a lot of supplies in advance, so they will definitely be able to survive this winter, so don’t worry about them.”

As he said that, he took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Xuan: "Mu Nan gave it to me last time, for your sweet mouth. If you have a chance to meet next time, you have to talk about the past. It was really lucky to meet old classmates.”

Jiang Xuan said thank you and took it, chatting with Daniel on the face, but tightened the candy in his hand. At this time, there are some supplies that are not well hidden, and they are still giving people outside, Mu Nan What does Qin Huai like about this kind of person? He is heartless, or does he want to be kind to his mother?

The heartless and kind-hearted Mu Nan is calling his brother like a lazy rice bug: "Brother, are you alright?"

Qin Huai, who was fetching water from the stove, tried the temperature of the water. It was a little hot, but it was just right for washing his hands: "Come on, you're too lazy."

Mu Nan giggled and put his sticky hands from eating mangoes into the washbasin, and wiped his mouth with his wet hands. After washing, he took a paper towel from the table to dry himself, and then got under the quilt. Qin Huai poured the dirty water outside. The water they fetch for snow goes directly to the roof of the building. They don’t use the snow from the first floor, so the dirty water is usually poured outside. Anyway, they will shovel the snow and pour it out the next day. Yes, it will not accumulate at the door.

After cleaning up the dirty water, Qin Huai also got on the kang, and Mu Nan put his feet on Qin Huai's body, holding his mobile phone to swipe Xiao Xiao Le, while saying: "Brother, let's make braised lion head tomorrow, and add pears to it I like to eat loose meat, and meat that is too firm is not good."

Qin Huai leaned on the bed to read a book, and said casually: "There are quite a lot of demands."

Mu Nan was quiet for a while, and couldn't help but said: "Brother, you said that the ID card is ready, and all the currency is converted into virtual currency. If there is no electricity and no internet, wouldn't there be nothing?"

Qin Huai: "There should be a chip record in the ID card, and it can be scanned out by the machine without the Internet. It should be impossible without electricity. When the current climate finds out the law, whether it is electricity or Internet, it will definitely be restored. Now It’s not that there is power supply at the greenhouse, it’s just that the current equipment conditions can’t cover a large area, so we don’t have it here, next year, the situation should be much better.”

Mu Nan was shaking her feet under the quilt: "Have you watched an American drama, that is, the entire TV series disappeared from the earth overnight, and I seem to have downloaded it. Do you want to watch it? I'll show it to you."

Qin Huai pulled him back: "What are you fussing about, I'll go to sleep after playing the game for a while."

Mu Nan sighed: "It's not even nine o'clock. I go to bed at nine o'clock every day, wake up at nine o'clock in the morning, and take a two-hour nap in the afternoon. If I count it casually, I will sleep for fourteen hours a day."

Qin Huai said: "Early to bed and early to rise is good for your health."

Mu Nan laughed: "I haven't seen much, but it's true that the skin has improved." The kang is so hot that even though it's warm to sleep on, it's easy to get angry and dry, and you have to hold water to drink every day if you have nothing to do In the past, he didn't like to drink boiled water, but it was impossible to drink all kinds of sweet things every day. During the day, he drank milk tea and grapefruit tea, but at night he could only drink plain water. Over the past few months, he has never had acne at all. As for I haven't noticed any other changes so far. Anyway, I have adapted to the current work and rest, and I feel very energetic when I am not sleeping.

Qin Huai stretched out his hand to pinch his face, it was soft and smooth, and praised him: "It's pretty good."

Mu Nan touched her face and sighed, "Yes, I can't put it down."

Qin Huai smiled, and put the book on the side cabinet: "How much you can't put it down? Let me have a look."

When Mu Nan heard this, he instinctively wanted to run away, but was suppressed by Qin Huai, Mu Nan immediately resisted and quit: "You said to rest for two days!"

Qin Huai smiled and said, "Do you believe what men say?"

Mu Nan's eyes widened immediately, he really couldn't believe it, how did his brother turn into such a shameless appearance: "Where's your face?!"

Qin Huai started directly: "Face? That's for outsiders to see."

In the end, Mu Nan cursed again, but Qin Huai suppressed his voice, so he couldn't scold, so he could only cry on the kang.

For the man who doesn't talk too much, Mu Nan is not guilty at all, ordering food in different ways, today I want to eat braised lion head, tomorrow I want to eat Buddha Jumping Wall, after ordering Chinese food, I want dessert, today I want thousands of dollars. Layer, I want brownies tomorrow, I lie down on the kang with my mouth open, the only thing Mu Nan has to do is to take the materials out of the space, that's all.

Mu Nan raised the curtain of the bed, saw Qin Huai sitting at the stove and watching the tutorial while lighting the fire, and said with a smile, "Ask me!"

Qin Huai said without raising his head, "Ask."

Mu Nan: "After this winter, will my brother become a chef?"

Qin Huai turned to look at him: "Hasn't your brother always been a chef? Isn't a chef able to satisfy your small mouth? It's like jumping over a wall."

Mu Nan lay on the kang and laughed loudly.

I stayed in the house for almost half a month, and then I was notified that I can get a new ID card, but I have to get it myself, because I have to scan my fingerprints, and I can’t get it on my behalf. If it is recorded, another arrangement will be made, and the rest of the people have to go to Building No. 1 to collect it by themselves. The ID cards of the people who live here have been sent over, so as not to consume fuel for vehicles, which is a scarce commodity.

In view of the fact that Mu Nan suffered from stomach problems last time because the road was cold, Qin Huai was thinking about whether to rent a car first this time. A car doesn't cost much points. If he gets sick again, it won't be a matter of points. . But Mu Nan didn't give in, how can he be so delicate, he still has to rent a car for a ten-minute journey, the most he can do is cover his whole body with baby warmers, this time it's not like last time to take pictures, no need to take off his clothes, sure It can't be cold.

Because they are not in the same group as Jian Chu, there is no way to go there together. Only Qin Huai and Mu Nan can see other people who registered together to get their certificates along the way. Today's snow is still a bit heavy, and the sky It was a bit gloomy. The two of them were armed from head to toe. On the outermost part of their clothes, they also put on a raincoat to block the wind and snow. Because they wore a lot of clothes, walking seemed extraordinarily cumbersome. It took about ten minutes. It took almost half an hour to arrive.

Although there is no electricity in Building No. 1, several braziers were burned, and people entering and exiting did not worry about being too closed to be poisoned by carbon monoxide, and the heat was a little bit, at least not as cold as outside. The card collection is on the third floor. Knowing that there will be many people coming, it is specially arranged on the uppermost floor, so that there will be space for people to queue up.

Qin Huai and the others came early, some people saw such a heavy snowstorm outside, and thought to see if the snowstorm would stop later, anyway, it was only one day, so they hadn't come yet, but even if they were early, they would come At that time, the line also reached the second floor.

Seeing someone coming out with a new ID card, Mu Nan took a curious look. He knew that there were two kinds of ID cards, one was a card, which was the same as the previous ID card, and the other was a bracelet, both of which contained The chip can be swiped directly, and the account can also be bound on the mobile phone, but the bracelet needs to pay an additional material fee, which is not cheap. A bracelet costs 50 points. It depends on each person's conditions. The role of the bracelet It is only in extremely cold or hot environments that you can swipe without using a mobile phone, but you can also swipe your ID card. This is equivalent to a luxury in the last days, not a necessity. From the current point of view, it seems that no one chooses to use a mobile phone. Huan, but yes, fifty points, converted to fifty yuan, in the current currency, fifty yuan is enough for a family of three to live frugally for two months.

Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want a bracelet?" I feel that the bracelet is a bit futuristic, but it is indeed too expensive. The function of the bracelet is only convenient to carry around, and it is easier to lose the ID card with it. , but Mu Nan has space, it is impossible to lose it, but he still has to ask, in case his brother likes it.

Qin Huai shook his head: "No, at least not for now, it's too conspicuous."

Although the bracelet may not be seen by others when it is worn on the hand and hidden in the clothes, but when the weather is hot and there are no clothes to hide, what is the point of buying it at home instead of buying it, so before this thing became common, they did not It is necessary to be the first consumers.

Mu Nan also doesn't think so, how much food can be exchanged for 50 points, anyway, for him now, nothing is more important than food, even though life seems to be stable now, and everything is rebuilding gradually, but Facing the unknown future, he is still a little uneasy. He is afraid that the stable life will be turbulent again, so it is better to stock up slowly, food and clothing, as long as you can. As for the new currency, just keep a little guarantee in your hand Yes, there is no need to accumulate too much.

Just look at this disaster, those multi-millionaires and billionaires in the past, what did they get in exchange for saving so much money, it is better to earn and spend now.

The queue is not long, but the speed is very slow, because the assets, that is, the existing points, need to be counted, and then converted into electronic new coins, and the converted points must be destroyed on the spot, so the speed is very slow.

With so much on, Mu Nan couldn't help but pull down the mask, he felt a little suffocated.

Qin Huai pointed to a corner beside him: "Go and sit over there, I'll call you when we're almost there."

Mu Nan shook her head: "It's so boring to line up alone, I'll accompany you."

"The relationship between you two brothers is really good."

A voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them. Mu Nan and Qin Huai turned their heads to look at the same time. A man wrapped in a scarf bent his eyes at them, obviously smiling at them. She smiled and said, "I also have a younger brother, but he is a little younger, only sixteen years old, but he was abroad when the earthquake happened, so I don't know what's going on now."

Mu Nan is not as good at dancing as Jian Chu, he is not very good at chatting with strangers, for other people's active conversation, if there are people around him, he usually will not open his mouth, so when he sees this person talking to them, Mu Nan goes to Qinhuai They leaned against each other, but didn't make a sound.

Qin Huai held Mu Nan's hand, and said to the people behind him, "Maybe he's fine, but he's stuck abroad and can't come back."

The man sighed: "I hope, you live in the second district?"

Qin Huai nodded, and said humanely: "I remember seeing you, I also live in the second district, I live in Building No. 31, it should be two buildings in front of you, your yard is quite famous, my name is Liang Yu, Hitachi Yu, who was originally Yu Yu who was shining brightly, turned out to be Hitachi Yu when he removed the side of the fire character when registering for the household registration."

Qin Huai: "This name is a good omen. Yu means tomorrow and represents hope."

Liang Yu smiled and said, "Every time I tell someone my name, I have to explain it. Otherwise, if you just listen to it, you will think my name is Liang Yu, and the jade on the jade pendant will be thought to be a girl."

It's not good for others to introduce their own family names, so Qin Huai could only say: "My name is Qin Huai, and this is my younger brother, Mu Nan."

Liang Yu tilted his head to look at Mu Nan, smiled and waved to Mu Nan: "Hello."

Mu Nan also smiled, and replied, "Hello."

Liang Yu looked at Qin Huai: "Your brother is quite shy."

Qin Huai smiled when he heard the words: "Well, I'm a little shy."

Liang Yu said: "It's good, my younger brother is a crazy person, and I want to know people very well. I think my family has this kind of gene, but my younger brother has brought out the gene to the extreme. He used to be annoyed by croaking in his ears all day. Dead man, now that he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, it's really not an ordinary concern, I hope his familiar temperament can be a little better in this world."

Qin Huai couldn't see the slightest perfunctory, and said very sincerely: "It will definitely be, and the luck of the cheerful people will not be bad."

Mu Nan couldn't help but glance at Qin Huai, if it wasn't for outsiders talking to them, he wouldn't be able to help complaining, because people who are unlucky can't be cheerful.

That Liang Yu is really acquainted. After chatting with his younger brother, he started to talk about the current new currency and supplies. From supplies to hunting, and to some situations in the greenhouse, Mu Nan listened to him and became curious. Liang Yu's younger brother, his brother is so good at chatting, it feels like everyone is a good brother after exchanging names, his brother who has brought this gene to the extreme, he must be so good at chatting.

"Do you know about the dismemberment case that happened some time ago?"

Mu Nan was taken aback, before he could react, Qin Huai had already shook his head curiously and said, "The dismemberment case? Did it happen on our side? It's locked in the house, and we don't know what's going on outside, and there's no internet now. "

Liang Yu said: "It happened in the building behind my house. It's terrible. It is said that someone pretended to be a soldier and came to inspect the door. When someone opened the door unpreparedly, he wiped his neck. Hey, anyway, I didn't hear anything at all that night. , This technique is skillful, but those people seem to have been caught. Fortunately, they were caught, otherwise they would have been too frightened. The main reason is that our side was unlucky, and we couldn't find bricks. We were reluctant to spend money to buy them, but now we are willing to do so. , but the amount of work covered by snow is too large, not to mention building walls, I am afraid that the cement will freeze into concrete as soon as it is reconciled, and I don’t know how long it will take for winter to pass.”

Probably because Liang Yu was so good at chatting, the person standing behind him couldn't help but start talking: "In winter, you can still burn a fire to keep warm. In summer, if the electricity is cut off, it will be hot to death."

Liang Yu sighed: "I hope this summer will not be too hot."

The chatting time passed quickly, even though it was slow to obtain the ID card, they were slowly lined up. Mu Nan went in first, took out some of the points Qin Huai gave him for inspection, and then went to verify the fingerprints. When asked if he wanted to buy a bracelet, Mu Nan quickly shook his head: "No, no, it's too expensive."

It was probably the same answer, and the staff was not too surprised. They quickly counted the points: "There are a total of 300 points, all of which will be registered in your account. Now only some official platforms can buy things, and you can directly swipe your ID card. Or just bind it with your phone, don’t make private transactions with people at will, and beware of being deceived.”

Mu Nan nodded, and asked one more question: "When will you be able to connect to the Internet?"

Mu Nan's question was purely casual. In fact, he didn't have much hope. It's so cold outside that even the electricity can't be supplied, so he can't care about the Internet.

Unexpectedly, the staff said: "The power is gradually being restored, and the communication base station is also trying to repair it. If it is fast, it may be a month. If it is slow, winter will pass."

Mu Nan didn't expect the electricity and internet to be restored even in such a cold environment. This was quite unexpected, but after thinking about it, it was normal. The lowest temperature in the residential area in their country was nearly 60 degrees below zero. There were people living there, and the electricity was the same as the internet. Passing over there, it was so difficult at the beginning, mainly because the earthquake damaged too many things, and the manpower and material resources could not keep up. When these catch up, it will be normal to recover.

Mu Nan took her new ID card. The photo on it was quite handsome. The points had already been converted into the new currency and entered. When the time comes, you can just swipe the card to buy things, which is much more convenient.

After Mu Nan came out, Qin Huai went in instead. When he came out, Liang Yu was still chatting with someone, and when he saw him, he asked, "What's the process inside?"

Mu Nan explained the process of obtaining the certificate. After hearing this, Liang Yu pulled the scarf off his face, revealing his face. When he was only showing his eyes, Mu Nan felt that this person should not look good. Ugly, the whole face is exposed at this moment, which really proved his guess. Liang Yu is quite handsome, the kind of gentle and fair handsome, with the feeling of a big brother who is a close friend, and he is very familiar with... His personality is a bit out of place, I think he should be the kind of person who sits in the sun wearing a white sweater and reads a book quietly.

Seeing Mu Nan looking at him, Liang Yu smiled at Mu Nan, then took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to him: "Please eat."

Mu Nan shook her head: "No thanks."

Liang Yu was afraid that he was being embarrassed and polite, so he directly grabbed his hand and put the chocolate in his hand: "It's okay, I have a lot of these things, and I don't like to eat them." After stuffing the chocolate, he said to Mu Nan: "My house is in Building 31. Come over to play with your brother when you have time. I still have meat at home. I will make meat buns for you when the time comes."

Mu Nan could only laugh, this Liang Yu's enthusiasm made him a bit awkward with social barriers.
