Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 115:

When the horn rang at the door, Yu Zibai went out to open the door one step faster than Mu Nan. Now they both work in the same building, so they entered and exited with Qin Huai. Of course, they are not the ones who take advantage of the car rental fee and gasoline. It was shared equally among the three, and Qin Huai and Jian Chu took turns driving the car. As for Song Jia, neither of them believed in Song Jia's driving skills, so it was better for him to just ride the car honestly.

Together with the cars of the four girls next door, the two cars drove in one after the other, and parked in their respective garages. Mu Nan hurriedly changed Qin Huai's clothes with the baked clothes, and Jian Chu and Song Jia got out of the car. When I got down, I was jumping in the cold. Jian Chu was okay, he could go back from the garage, and he didn’t have to go out. Song Jia couldn’t, he had to run out. He didn’t even have the strength to say anything, so he ran away with a wave of his hand. He had to hurry Go home and go to the kang to warm up your body temperature.

Mu Nan didn't know about the girl, but he knew that the neighbors next door, Song Jia's family and Jian Chu's family, both lived on the first floor now, so they only turned on the floor heating on the first floor, but Kang continued to sleep. It's just that after turning on the floor heating and adding the warmth of the kang, I can finally take off my heavy clothes when I'm on the kang.

Because his house needs to grow vegetables, the floor heating upstairs and downstairs are turned on. Mu Nan paid attention to it, and the electricity bill is still affordable. The electricity bill for half a month only cost ten yuan. The ten yuan Money is cheap for Mu Nan and the others, but for others, it costs at least 20 yuan a month to use electricity like this. Quite expensive.

Mu Nan had already warmed up the bathroom, and the water heater was also adjusted to the temperature, so he pushed Qin Huai upstairs to take a hot bath: "Is it too cold?"

Qin Huai said: "These two days are indeed much colder than before."

But it's okay, even if the heater is turned on in the car, it won't get any warmer, but the distance is not too long, although the road may be a little slower because of the slippery road, but I only shoveled this road when I came and went, I can't walk Fork in the road, you will be home in ten minutes, and it will only take ten minutes if it is cold.

It was okay when he was in the work unit, the heating was sufficient, the temperature in the room could reach more than ten degrees, with hot tea, and the electric blanket that Mu Nan specially made for him to cover his legs, it was actually very warm, although not as good as At home, but didn't suffer much.

Hearing what Qin Huai said, Mu Nan was relieved, and then told what Qin Bing said during the day and what about Liang Yu, Qin Huai took a shower in the bathroom, listening to Mu Nan's small mouth Without stopping, the corner of his raised mouth never drooped, and his little sticky cake slowly stuck back.

After washing off the cold, Qin Huai wiped his hair and came out, kissed his pouting mouth, then frowned slightly: "The taste of spicy strips?"

Mu Nan's eyes widened suddenly, and he covered his mouth and backed away again and again. He had been eating for a long time, and even ate other snacks to suppress the taste. He didn't expect this to be discovered! His brother was a drug police dog in his previous life.

Mu Nan ran away in a flash.

Qin Huai shouted in a deep voice: "Mu Nan!"

Oh, now that you are old, you still have to feel the fear of being called by your full name, tsk.

With the experience of the last cold snap, the government has made sufficient preparations this time, at least in terms of the existing materials, and has made the most comprehensive winter prevention plan. But even so, the cold outside still fell below the threshold of many people. Regarding the perception of cold, the temperature at the coldest time before was minus fifty-seven degrees.

When this cold snap came, the temperature plummeted by nearly ten degrees, more than minus 60 degrees and nearly 70 degrees. For a country like them with distinct four-seasonal climate conditions, when did they feel this kind of cold? It was cold in the south. At this level, I don't know how low the temperature is in the north.

On the other side of the greenhouse, although the heating has been increased, a thin layer of brick house has been added with a thermal insulation film, and the cold protection conditions are limited. In some families, it’s better if there are many people. Two or several people squeeze each other into a quilt to keep warm with each other’s body temperature. Although they are still shivering from the cold, and there is a burst of cold when they speak, at least they can still endure it.

Some are alone, even with a thin layer of quilt, and it is so cold that they are about to lose their sanity. Since the temperature has dropped to the present, several of them have been dragged out, some of them are not in good health, some Excessive malnutrition, hunger and cold, it is really fatal.

The government began to distribute supplies, and the people in the greenhouse were provided with a free meal every day. It was not that there were no food reserves on it, but many warehouses were destroyed by the earthquake, and some of the food reserves were also broken during the high temperature, so there was not much food left. many.

If there is no way to grow food, even if there are only a few million people left in their provinces and cities, the food reserves will not last for two years, and now they are consuming every day to make ends meet, and people will freeze to death every day at such a low temperature , the hair above is also grey, but no matter how worried you have to grit your teeth and suffer, what can you do if you don't suffer.

Jiang Xuan has a job, and now lives in the dormitory of the unit, but because the housing is limited, it is impossible for them to bring their families. At present, there are no conditions for them to bring their families. In order to facilitate work, Jiang Xuan has to live in the dormitory by himself. His parents are still warming up. They are simmering in the shed, and now all the wire base stations have been repaired. Even though the temperature is as low as ever in their area, the current power supply can barely maintain, so the network is not interrupted, and they can still keep in touch every day.

But his parents are not too young. In the early years, their family’s conditions were not good. His parents worked hard to earn money from early morning to late, and their health was already broken. It's so cold now, I really can't bear it anymore, Jiang Xuan's father is already in poor health, he has undergone two major operations, and now because the temperature is too low, even if Jiang Xuan is willing to spend money for them, he directly ordered two meals Card, at least enough to eat every day.

But the nutrition can’t keep up, especially when you are old and sick. Now when the low temperature comes, the whole person is in a semi-comatose state. They asked the government for help, but because of the low temperature, there are too many people. Limited, they can only report the situation and send it to the medical station in batches, and these batches are all waiting in line.

Jiang Xuan's mother had no choice, although she also knew that her son's work was difficult now, and she didn't want to cause trouble for him, but she was afraid that if she didn't say anything, her son might not even be able to see his father for the last time, so she had to tell the current situation Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan thought of a way to go back to the warm shed. Seeing his father's frozen face turned pale, he was also very anxious, but there was really no way to negotiate with the higher-ups. The current situation is not because his family is in a serious situation. They are queuing up, hospitals are queuing up, and houses with heating are also queuing up. Even if he is willing to rent a house at a high price, there are still people who pay more than him. Now the problem is the shortage of resources, not the price.

In the end, Jiang Xuan, who had nowhere to go, found Qin Huai again.

Qin Huai understood his intention and smiled directly: "What are you talking about in your sleep?"

Jiang Xuan clenched his fists, tried to adjust his expression and begged, "There is heating in the second district, I want to ask you to move a room for my parents to live in, I will bear the electricity and food expenses myself, and I will give you everything I don't want. Please, give my parents a way to survive."

Qin Huai looked at him coldly: "You are moral kidnapping? If you give your parents a way to live, do I give them their death?"

Jiang Xuan quickly said: "That's not what I meant."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Huai said directly: "Don't waste my time, it's impossible, Jiang Xuan, even if your whole family dies in front of me, I won't waste one more look at you."

Jiang Xuan looked at Qin Huai in disbelief: "I, can't I apologize to you? I apologize to Mu Nan, and I kneel down to apologize to him. I really can't help it. My dad will not be able to take it anymore..."

Qin Huai said directly: "What's none of my business? As I said, the only person I care about in my life is that one. I trust you, and I entrust Nan Nan to your care. If you don't want it, you can refuse it. I'm not the only one Your choice, how about you, when Nan Nan felt that he was abandoned by the whole world, no one comforted him, when he was sick and helpless, no one took care of him, you thought you just didn’t care about him, it didn’t count Did it hurt, Jiang Xuan, you know those things back then, you also know why I left, what kind of person my biological father is, you know better, you think, I shed his blood and inherit his legacy Gene, what kind of person is my essence? Come to beg me? I really doubt that you have a brain?"

His world is just that big. In the past, there were grandma, uncles and aunts. Now that the previous generation is gone, he only has Mu Nan left. He never cares about the life and death of others. Sometimes he helps those who need help, but it doesn't mean that he will help any poor person he sees, let alone that person is Jiang Xuan, who really regards him as a kind saint, and begged to come to him, This guy is really out of his mind.

Jiang Xuan's old blood was choked up in his chest. Qin Huai felt that he had deceived him, and he felt that he had been deceived by Qin Huai. This was not the Qin Huai he knew at all. The Qin Huai he knew was a gentleman with great ability and a big heart. , it's definitely not that narrow-minded, preoccupied, and desperate!

If Mu Nan was here, he would have ridiculed Jiang Xuan for his ignorance. The nickname Qin Dangdang was not for nothing, but unfortunately his brother is so good at deceiving people. Since childhood, only he himself has seen the essence of his brother Dangdang.

Qin Huai did not tell Mu Nan about Jiang Xuan's coming to him. There is no need to say such a thing. The Jiang family has nothing to do with them. Leave a psychological shadow.

Mu Nan couldn't remember to ask about the things Qin Huai didn't talk about, there were so many things at home, how could he have the time to pay attention to the person who had turned the page for him. Several small rabbits are getting bigger and bigger. Although the forage has not grown yet, some green vegetables, some vines and even all kinds of potatoes, sweet potatoes and purple potatoes are being fed. I don’t know if they are wild rabbits. After another catastrophic elimination, they ate a lot of miscellaneous food and were easy to feed. The circles of meat seemed to grow up.

So Mu Nan decided to sell the little rabbits, let’s sell two first, mainly because there are nine big and small rabbits in one room. The small ones used to be fine, but now that they have grown up, the destructive power and the power of **** are simply too much. , but Mu Nan felt that it was not worthwhile to sell them all. The meat hadn't grown yet, so they couldn't be sold at a high price, so he sold one male and one female first to try the market.

But the selling price of this rabbit is hard to determine. There is no meat for sale outside. If it is sold to the government, it will be calculated by the catty. It may sell for a few yuan per catty, and a small rabbit is only about two catties. If you haven't raised so much fat, it's not worthwhile in terms of catties.

In the end, Jian Chu suggested that Mu Nan post a sale message on the platform, priced at 21. Rabbits are small, but they are alive. If they grow up, they will be more than two catties of meat. See how to raise it.

Mu Nan thinks this is feasible. Anyway, information is hidden on the platform. At worst, he will go to the official side, hang things in Building 1, find a soldier to help transfer them, and pay them a transfer fee, so that his information will not be leaked. , and won't cause any trouble for a little meat.

In this period of gluttony and madness, the power of these rabbits is great when they are hung up. Almost as soon as they are hung up, they are bought by someone. Once they buy them, they buy them together. The buyer is also the second district. Yes, it happened to be the time for the soldiers to inspect, so Mu Nan asked Qin Bing to help, first transfer the money to Qin Bing's account, and then Qin Bing came to take the rabbit to send there.

As for the transfer fee, Qin Bing would definitely not ask for Mu Nan. If it was someone else, he would do it in a business-like manner. But they are so close that he regards Mu Nan and the others as friends. I can't get past my own level.

Qin Bing doesn't want it, but Mu Nan can't let others go to the wind and snow to suffer and suffer, so he made some diced venison with cumin and salt and pepper, and packed a lunch box for Qin Bing: "You treat me as a friend Help, I also treat you as a friend and invite you to eat, if you don’t want to, you don’t treat me as a friend.”

Qin Bing had no choice but to accept it. Fortunately, he was not on duty today, because Mu Nan thought he would be on patrol today, so he asked him if he could help, and he came over by his teammate's car, so it was not working hours. It's not a violation of discipline to give a friend some food, so I accept it.

Mu Nan took the record of making money and rushed to Qin Huai who was resting on the kang to read a book and showed him: "I've made money!"

Qin Huai took a look and praised: "That's right, I've made a lot of money. If I raise them again, the female rabbit will probably still have cubs. At that time, I will sell two a month. The family won't accumulate too much, but it can keep The income is pretty good."

Mu Nan climbed onto the kang with a smile: "You think, how big a rabbit is better to eat roasted? The kind of roasted baby rabbit."

Qin Huai said: "Five or six months old is enough, and the meat that has just grown up will not be too old. If you can feed a little fat, the meat will be more tender."

Mu Nan licked his mouth, he hadn't eaten roasted baby rabbits yet, at most he had eaten spicy diced rabbits, and the rabbit meat that was roasted last time, but thinking about the ingredients upstairs, there are still a few months to raise, so he can only Temporarily accept this coveted heart.

Thinking that it would be hot again soon, Mu Nan leaned on Qin Huai's body and said, "At that time, the day and night will be reversed again. It's so hot at night, can the car drive?"

Qin Huai rubbed his hair and said: "Actually, driving is not dangerous. Even if the high temperature explodes or catches fire, there is still enough time to get out of the car, and the subway may have opened by then, so you don't have to suffer from the heat of the surface. The ground needs to be safer. With the previous experience of extreme heat, people's countermeasures will only get better and better, so don't worry too much. If it is really dangerous to life-threatening, I will quit and go home to raise rabbits. "

Mu Nan turned to look at him: "You have to do what you say, don't think you can resist, just take a chance and think it's okay to resist."

Qin Huai said with a smile: "Work is just to enrich my spiritual level, and it does not involve the level of survival. In front of survival, everything is not important. Well, I seem to smell spicy sticks again."

Mu Nan said angrily, "Don't wrong me! You're at home all day today, so I can't escape your eyes if I steal something!"

Qin Huai smiled lightly: "Isn't there? Then you have to try it carefully to be sure."

Regarding whether to eat spicy strips, this is a question that can only be discussed with a light on.

Some people live a life without worrying about food and clothing, while others are on the verge of death. Xiao Baoer has a playmate she met after she came to the greenhouse. She is a young lady, a few years older than her, but thin and small. She is not tall, she looks younger than her. Before she came, the little girl named Fenfen sat on her bed all day long, huddled into a small ball to resist the cold, surrounded by adults, and there was nothing wrong with her. One would chat and talk to a child.

Especially now that everyone is living a precarious life with an empty stomach, and even less energy to speak, until Xiao Baoer followed her mother and grandparents, and came here after leaving the eccentric father who only loved her cousin. Playmate, Fenfen also has someone to talk to.

But in the past few days, it seems that the temperature outside has dropped again, and it is no longer warm inside the greenhouse. People shiver in the cold every day, and Xiao Baoer is also cold, but she has a mother and grandmother, and her mother and grandmother will sleep with her in their arms. She was hugged in her arms, wrapped in clothes and a quilt, so it was cold.

But Xiao Baoer thinks it's okay, just worried that in order to prevent her from freezing, her mother and grandma will take turns holding her these days and she will be very tired. If she doesn't go to work, it will affect her earning. If she can't make money, she won't have money to buy food. , and then the little food that can be bought, grandpa, grandma and mother will save her from starvation.

So when grandpa came back from ordering food, Xiao Baoer shook his head: "I eat one meal a day is enough, I eat in the morning, grandpa, you eat, I'm not hungry, I'm still young, I eat less."

The grandmother hugged her granddaughter tightly with distress: "My dear baby, eat more and you won't be cold. Now the food is distributed free of charge. We don't need money. We eat what we have. We won't be hungry."

Wang Hui also pulled down the quilt that wrapped her mother and daughter, and fed her daughter with steamed buns dipped in vegetable soup, so that the daughter only needed to reveal a small head from the quilt, instead of sticking out her hands to freeze: "Eat obediently. If you eat more, you will grow up faster. Only when you grow up can you go to work and support your grandparents."

Little Bao'er nodded, opened her mouth to bite off the steamed bun that was handed over, and said with a puffy mouth, "I want to grow up quickly, and when I grow up, I will earn money to support my grandpa, grandma, and mother!"

Da Niu on the side was also wrapped in a quilt and eating the relief food. Now that the relief food and the meal card he already had, he finally no longer felt the hunger in his stomach all the time. Although he was not full, he would not be hungry anyway. It's hard.

Seeing that the little girl in the bed next door is so sensible, Daniel can't help but imagine that if he and his wife can have a child, will they be so cute and sensible? Thinking of this, it is inevitable to look at There is a big family over there, it's great that there are so many people.

But soon this kind of misery with a small warm atmosphere was broken, sleeping in the bed opposite them, the parents of the little girl named Fenfen came back, a grumpy father, and a submissive mother, the two After the man came back, the man ate the staple food of the family of three with soup and vegetables, while the woman and the little girl only ate one dish. Now, because the relief food is given out every day, the children also have a share, so the mother and daughter can eat it separately a dish.

In the past, the women and girls shared a share of the meals they sent back, and the rest belonged to the man. He said that he had to work, so he had to eat, and women were also working, but it might be this submissive nature Well, even if others were a little bit embarrassed to speak for her, she didn't dare to resist.

What broke this moment of tranquility was that the woman couldn't wake up her daughter who was already cold and lost her body temperature even though she was sleeping under the quilt. The woman looked at her daughter who was not breathing, and her whole body seemed to be shocked and lost her soul. He was stunned. Although the man was surprised, he immediately put away the unfinished steamed buns, and then went to check the situation.

The girl was frozen to death, or in other words, died of cold and hunger. Xiao Baoer's grandmother stuffed the granddaughter into her arms and pulled up the quilt. Although it may not be able to block out all the voices, but anyway Can cover some.

That Fenfen is the only good friend my granddaughter made here. The child lay motionless under the quilt all morning, and they didn't pay much attention. It's very cold now, and many people are wrapped in the quilt without even covering their heads. I know, it turned out to be gone.

The man is irritable, but he's just a coward. He doesn't dare to make trouble when his daughter is gone. Some people in the greenhouse froze to death before, and some family members have made trouble. It's a pity that even if they blame the government, they say they I paid money to go into the greenhouse, and finally froze to death. The government must be responsible for this.

Of course, the result is obvious. Those who made troubles, the most violent ones were directly driven out, so the men didn't make troubles at all, they reported it directly, and then asked people to carry out their daughter's body to deal with it. Even for the death of his daughter, he was even more concerned I sigh that there is no way to receive an extra relief food tomorrow.

The girl's mother, sitting numbly on the bed, let others carry her daughter away, her eyes were empty as if she had lost all response to the outside world. Many people nearby whispered, saying that this pair of parents is really cold-blooded. The child died, and it turned out to be such a reaction. Even the little girl from the opposite family was hiding in the arms of the parents and crying. The biological parents There was no reaction at all, as if it wasn't his own child who died, and what was taken away was just an unwearable rag.

It's just that no one expected that after people curled up in the cold and fell asleep in the middle of the night, an extremely shrill scream resounded through the entire greenhouse. When the lights were turned on again, those people who were closest to the scream looked at the scene in front of them in horror. In the picture, a woman who lost her daughter during the day is holding a pair of scissors covered in blood, and the tip of the scissors is deeply inserted into her husband's chest.
