Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 147:

After all, the output of bamboo worms is not high, so I dug them in the mountains at random. Even though this time because a few more bamboo worms were collected, the quantity bought back was slightly more than last time, but they were still sold out in one morning.

Because the car and gasoline belong to Qinhuai, and even the frying oil and seasonings are his, plus Daniel's manpower investment, and Xu Ming's investment in shares, and finally according to the ratio, Qinhuai alone has the net income from selling bamboo worms Nearly 40 yuan, Daniel was the least, and earned more than 20 yuan. Others, including Xu Ming, earned more than 30 yuan. So a little bit, it's pure extra money for huge profits.

If it weren't for this, there would be no way to develop stably. After all, it is not artificial breeding. For this profit, you can quit your job and go to sea. Earning ten yuan a day is much more than working in a unit.

Because of the money they made, everyone in the small yard was very happy. Although the girls were a little greedy, they didn't have the principal, and they couldn't do the transportation like the boys, so they could only envy them silently. However, because of Mu Nan's explanation, Qin Huai and the others bought some homemade cloth when they went there last time, and it seems that they also want to develop the trade of finished clothes.

Qinghe is a city developed by tourism before the end of the world. In order to attract tourists, many places will keep a lot of traditional things. The old lady opened a shop in the scenic spot before the end of the world. The homemade cloth is purely hand-woven. Fortunately, the earthquake Although the house at home also collapsed, but because it was an old low house, the tiles that collapsed did not damage the loom, so the grandmother can still make a living from it.

Mu Nan inspected the cloth Qin Huai bought and said, "Let Yang Jing make a part of it to test the waters first. Both men and women will make some and sell them online. If they can be sold at a price, then when you go to collect bamboo insects, you will be able to buy them." Take the cloth by the way."

Qin Huai said: "It may be difficult to get the cloth once a week. The loom is purely handmade, and the old lady is old. It may take a long time to accumulate such a small amount of cloth. If you really want to sell clothes to make money, then I will go and have a look next time." Is there any other homemade cloth shop? Qinghe used to have a lot of old handicraft shops, weaving cloth, grinding musical instruments, and handmade silver jewelry, so there may be more than one, the market is so big, look for it when the time comes.”

Mu Nan said: "Forget it, let's just go to the old lady's house. It's not about developing a large clothing industry. Yang Jing has also taken over a lot of scattered businesses. It's enough to make ends meet. My main business is family farming. And animal husbandry, oh yes, I still have comics, I'll go to see how my comics' income has been recently, I've been busy with other things these days, and I forgot to look at the income when I updated the pending draft."

In addition to the interruption of the Internet and power during the flood period, Mu Nan was very diligent in maintaining weekly updates after the Internet was connected. The main reason is that the current environment has given him too many brains and bursts of inspiration. , as long as he is diligent, he can draw non-stop every day.

Mu Nan logged into the platform account with his mobile phone, scanned the account balance at a glance, and immediately clicked his tongue: "It's only a dozen yuan. Fortunately, I don't expect to draw comics to support myself now, otherwise I really can't support myself."

After speaking, he thought of Qin Huai's little game again, and asked curiously, "What about yours? How much money did your little game make?"

Qin Huai took out his mobile phone and showed him the balance. Although Mu Nan wasn't very good at calculating accounts by himself, he didn't know anything about it. After all, Qin Huai would tell him every time how much he earned and how much he used. How much is the balance, so looking at the balance of Qin Huai's mobile phone, he suddenly laughed: "Isn't this the money you made from selling bamboo insects? Your little game didn't make any money? Then it's not as good as making money from my comics."

Qin Huai said slowly: "Since the mini game is divided, the monthly settlement is based on the background data I checked, and a rough calculation will give me at least 300 yuan next month."

Looking at the account on the mobile phone that has earned less than 30% since the comics were updated, Mu Nan silently turned his back to Qin Huai. He also made money from spiritual food, but he didn't even earn a fraction of Qin Huai's: "Don't talk to me, I'm autistic."

Qin Huai smiled and changed the subject: "Did the chickens lay any eggs today?"

Mu Nan cheered up again: "There was an egg in the morning, but I don't know which one laid it. Anyway, it's fine if it can lay eggs. In the two days when I just brought the chicken back, there was no egg. I thought it was a change of environment. I was frightened and stopped laying eggs. I wanted to say that if I didn’t lay eggs, it would be a big loss. Fortunately, I didn’t get scared and stopped laying eggs because of environmental changes. Our family’s animal husbandry has finally embarked on a sustainable development path. the way!"

After Mu Nan finished speaking, he saw a vicious murder case on the headlines of the news network. Their side is still a local area network, which covers the entire residential area, so any big or small things published on the news network can be said to be things around them. Seeing the horrifying title of the vicious murder case, Mu Nan quickly clicked on it, and asked, "Is there another serial murderer?"

Qin Huai directly pulled out the phone from his hand, the page just loaded, there were some pictures on it, but only the scene full of blood, and some information about the victim, after making sure there were no photos of the victim, Qin Huai returned the phone to Mu Nan: "The outer city is chaotic, and the inner city may not be safe, so don't go out if you have nothing to do, especially don't go out alone."

Mu Nan watched the news on his mobile phone and said, "I don't need to go out, besides, what are you doing when I go out when you are at home, but you, wow, the day when the accident happened was the day you went to find Wang Xiaoli, it was so scary, bro, don't you He went to the outer city by himself, if Wang Xiaoli needs you again, you should contact him online, otherwise it would be terrible for him to come to you, but luckily you came back alive."

The environment in the outer city was still a bit shadowy for him, and now that something happened outside, he really didn't dare to let Qin Huai go out alone again.

Qin Huai rubbed Mu Nan's hair, and responded with a smile.

There was some basic information about the victims on the news, Mu Nan tsk-tsk said: "Now there is nothing to eat, these people still go to gamble, four of them died, all of them were blocked with a knife, and all four of them are bad gamblers , This must be due to non-repayment of money or cheating cheaters to seek vengeance. After so many disasters, they are still alive and gambling, tsk, I thought it was some kind of serial killer. .”

Regardless of whether it is the inner city or the outer city, people are dying every day, dying of illness, dying of starvation, and even being beaten to death by grabbing people for a bite to eat, so if it is just a simple death or some accidental death, there is no such thing as idle time. Go to the news, but this time the matter is a bit serious. Overnight, the four deceased were murdered in the same way. Whether it is the bad nature of the incident or the explosion of people's curiosity, this kind of news earns the most traffic.

But catching the murderer is not so easy to investigate. One is that the police force is not enough, and it is impossible to dispatch too many police forces just to investigate this matter, because all kinds of deaths and murders are happening almost at any time, such as theft, burglary, robbery Yes, when most of the troops were withdrawn back to the base, the transition period of the re-hired police force was full of chaos everywhere.

Another one, just as Qin Huai predicted before, there are no cameras in the outer city, there are a lot of fish and dragons, and it is a densely intertwined area of ??bad gambling areas and red light districts. It is really too difficult to investigate this kind of environment, so even if this matter is in the news It seems that many parties have paid attention to it, but Qin Huai is not worried at all.

Probably because there are so many people paying attention to this matter, some good people went to dig into the background. Of course, the news that was dug up was not reported by the official news network, but only circulated in some small groups or community forums. Mu Nan Some people in their community were talking about this, but most of the comments were that those scumbags died well.

It is said that the few people who died can be described as cancer. The chaos in the outer city is not easy to manage. They took advantage of the chaos to rob some weak and single people. It is said that they even beat them to death for robbing others. Extraordinary, but the one who died was a widowed old man, because he was alone, and there was no one around him who could speak, and when he died, someone from above took away the body. Although some people knew how this person died, they were afraid of causing trouble. So I dare not say anything, this kind of thing is too common in areas that are out of control.

At this moment, those scumbags were killed, and the bad things they did before were revealed to be true or false or embellished. Some of them may be casual nonsense for the sake of gaining attention, and some of them actually happened. Many people agree that individuals deserve to die.

Probably this matter is far away from him. After all, it happened in the outer city and it is not the neighborhood where he lives, and it has nothing to do with him, so Mu Nan checked the news and group chats for a while, and felt a little boring, so he went downstairs to do cleaning. , Rabbit nests and chicken nests, they have to be cleaned every day, otherwise they will be dirty and smelly.

Qin Huai leaned on the bed and raised his eyes to look at him, but Mu Nan was stretching and walking out and didn't see it. It wasn't until Mu Nan walked out of the room that Qin Huai lowered his eyes to look at the hand that sealed his throat with a knife. At this time, he will sincerely thank that man for the ruthless gene inherited from him. If the heart is not ruthless, the hands will not be steady enough.

After changing the hay on the rabbit’s nest, and cleaning the ground again, Mu Nan went to the chicken coop again, trapped the chickens in the fence, scooped out the chicken feces on the ground and put them in a special basin Well, before, he thought this fact was disgusting, but habit is a terrible thing. After cleaning the chicken coop a few times, he was able to get used to it without changing his face.

Chicken **** and rabbit poop. Mu Nan didn't throw them around. They carried them directly to the top floor and put them on Jianchu's side. They can be fertilized by mixing them with a certain proportion of fertilizer. Now the fertilizer is not easy to produce, even the fertilizer in the planting area of ??the farm. Well, part of it is retting from the animal **** on the pasture, so if their family can produce and sell some things, they must keep them.

But Mu Nan doesn't know how to do it. His family has no shortage of fertilizers, so he doesn't want to do it. After all, there are still people to live in, and he doesn't want to make the house smelly.

Now that Yu Zibai works on the farm, it is considered a convenient condition, so Jian Chu asked him not to throw it away, and put it on the top floor for them every time he cleaned it up, and then let Yu Zibai look at it and try it in proportion. Distribute the retting fertilizer to them at the right time, which can save a lot of money.

After putting it on the top of the building, Mu Nan sent Jian Chu a message to let him know, checked the young watermelon seedlings that were growing rapidly, and then strolled downstairs.

Clean up the livestock area at home, and wait for the sun to go down to open the doors and windows of the planting area to dry the rest. Mu Nan, who had nothing to do, went back to the room and took a shower in the bathroom, and cleaned for half a day. , but it is still very hot, and with the smell, it must be washed, otherwise I will eat with this smell later.

Mu Nan took a quick shower, and threw Qin Huai's changed clothes into the washing machine for washing. After coming out of the bathroom with a refreshing smell of soap and moisture, he climbed onto the bed and threw himself on Qin Huai's body: "Look what?"

Qin Huai took the man into his arms, took a towel and wiped his wet hair: "The higher up just issued a notice that the water may be cut off starting tomorrow."

Hearing this, Mu Nan sighed: "It's already expected, the water supply for the past two days has not even filled a container, the water flow is much smaller, and the water will stop sooner or later."

Qin Huai said: "It's a pity that the timing is not right. If someone is hired to dig the well at this time, when the water shortage reaches its limit in the future, I'm afraid it will kill people."

Mu Nan asked curiously, "Why did you think of digging a well?"

Qin Huai said: "It's Yu Zibai and the others who saw the well at Cai's house before. When they came back, they thought that the water usage was restricted here, so they mentioned that it would be much more convenient if our yard had its own well."

Mu Nan felt that if they could have a well, it would be much more convenient, just like the Cai family, they don’t have to restrict water too much: “Then shall we dig it? Can we still dig a well if water is restricted? You need a machine to dig a well, right? Is it necessary to explore for water sources or something, you can’t just pick a place and drill down to find water.”

Seeing Mu Nan looking like he wanted to find someone to dig a well tomorrow, Qin Huai said: "What are you thinking, wells can't just be drilled if you want, if we are very short of water by then, no one else will use it, There is a well in our yard. People come to you to ask for water. If you don’t give it, you will die of thirst. If you give it, it’s over, because you can’t supply the whole community, but others don’t care about you. , they only want water, if you don’t give it, then grab it, what will happen in the end?”

Following Qin Huai's description, Mu Nan's scalp tingled a little, and he asked uncertainly, "Will it be so short?" He had experienced the government's relief when he felt the most water shortage, and he couldn't imagine any more water shortage. what will happen.

Thinking of Qinghe, Mu Nan said: "Qinghe is very rich in water sources, and it's not too far away, so it shouldn't be too difficult." If it's impossible to borrow water for dispatching, then drive to Qinghe to change a place to live Okay.

Qin Huai shook his head: "I'm just used to predicting things to the most extreme possibility. It may not be that short. It was so hot that it didn't rain a drop of rain for almost a whole year. The water we store, even if it only comes out If you don’t enter it, it can be used for at least three to five years, and the water can still be used to melt ice, so you don’t have to worry about it. If it’s really that extreme, let’s talk about it, there is always a solution.”

Jian Chu and the others should have seen the notice, and they were complaining in the group: "I won't have to carry a bucket to fetch water every day like before. If I don't go out for a day, half a bucket of water may be enough. If I go out If you sweat all over, you will consume more water!"

Song Jia: "I'm only worried about not having enough water, and how to grow the grass and vegetables on the top of the building."

It was rare for Xu Ming to speak in the group: "Don't worry, just read the notice above, we can't starve everyone to death."

Song Jiaai asked Xu Ming: "Are you resting today? It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time."

Xu Ming: "I haven't had a rest recently. A batch of pigs are about to leave the gate. I'm a little busy."

Song Jia and Jian Chu expressed a tacit understanding and sighed at the same time: "!!"

Mu Nan couldn't help but asked in the group: "Is it possible to buy pork?"

Xu Ming posted an emoji: "I'm afraid I can't buy it. A lot of pigs died in the flood, and there are not many left. It's just that raising these pigs will only make the meat old, and they won't get much fat. If they are castrated, they will be fine." There is no way to reproduce, so I can only go out and sell, but the quota may be only a small group of people, and the ordinary people may not even receive the news."

Song Jia was very angry and sent a series of exclamation marks: "!! Life is hard enough, why should we divide the rich and bureaucrats! The people at the bottom are not worthy of eating meat!"

Jian Chu retorted him in the group: "We are really not the bottom, you go to the outer city to see, that is the real bottom."

Xu Ming: "There will be some quotas for some important units, such as hospitals, power plants, farms and so on. In short, you can buy meat with your work. If you are especially rich, you can buy other people's quotas. If you have no money and no work, you can eat noodles. Goofy."

Mu Nan looked at what Xu Ming posted in the group, and couldn't help sighing: "This really feels like my parents' time, when you have a job, you can earn food stamps, but if you don't, you can buy tickets from other people if you have money." If you don’t have money, you won’t be able to eat anything.”

Qin Huai smiled: "It can't be helped, there are too few things, but there are so many workers on the farm staring at it, it's not as hard as before for the news to spread, the meat is divided up and can be airtight. We all know that life is so difficult, and the higher-ups dare not do anything that can arouse public indignation, and there is not enough meat, so we have to choose this method, which can return a little capital and play an encouraging role. Only more and more Only when people are willing to pay labor and start working, can this new city be put into operation as soon as possible.”

Mu Nan has no shortage of meat, and he doesn't have a strong desire to buy meat, so when the small group talks about it being lively, he occasionally replies and focuses on participating, and switches to their community group from time to time to have a look. Is there any news, such as some meat purchases. But instead of talking about food in the community groups, they were talking about schools.

Mu Nan flipped through the pages, and said in surprise, "The school is going to be rebuilt?"

Qin Huai turned his head and glanced at his mobile phone: "There must be some rumors, but the school should be rebuilt, knowledge is the cornerstone of human progress, don't you see that the current situation is the best proof that someone with a skill, It can always be useful. The ten years of hard study will not be returned to the teacher as soon as you leave the campus, because no one knows what extra knowledge you will learn because of this hard work in the future. reward."

Mu Nan let out a wow: "Good chicken soup, unfortunately I have already graduated and don't need to go to school anymore."

Qin Huai smiled and lightly pinched his waist: "Show me your graduation certificate?"

Mu Nan snorted, it's not his problem that he doesn't have a diploma, it's the problem of this world!

The next day, just like the notification, the water would be cut off when the water was stopped. Mu Nan looked at the water pipe that couldn't even drip, sighed helplessly, turned off the faucet, and gathered the last bit of water in the container together. I lost the disinfection tablet and waited for the water to settle, then filtered it out and put it in another water tank.

The water he collected in the past and the water collected after the parasite outbreak have always been separated. Most of the water collected after the parasite outbreak was used to mop the floor and water vegetables. Although he used disinfection tablets and various filters, But after all, it was soaked in some bugs, and it was really shadowy, so I didn’t dare to use it for eating and drinking, and it was almost enough to wash clothes and flush the toilet.

On the day when the water was cut off, they received a notification on their mobile phones that the second district, the third district and the fourth district received water in the small square at 9 o'clock every night. The center point is the small square, but the apartment buildings in District 1 have collapsed and are now being rebuilt. It is said that a hospital and a large shopping mall are planned to be rebuilt here.

Since the new city is to be fully operational, many things must naturally develop. It is not an earthquake that directly shakes the entire civilization back to the Stone Age, nor is it an earthquake that makes the entire earth's resources disappear. How did people develop in the past? , Now it will only be done again more quickly, and even because of the previous experience, this time the planning and development will be better, so the school hospital shopping mall is bound to be there.

But Mu Nan saw it in the group yesterday, saying that the shopping mall was shut down and turned into a school. Long-term education is more important than short-term trade development, so it was temporarily suspended. He also said that if the school is rebuilt, their second, third and fourth districts will be the central school district in the center.

However, this statement is also a joke among some people in the group. I don’t know how many children need to be educated now. I’m afraid that in order to allow more children to go to school, I’m afraid it’s free of tuition and includes meals. Scholarships will also be given to outstanding students.

But these have nothing to do with Mu Nan. The completion of the school will only make their living environment in this area safer. This is the real future of the motherland. It really can't stand the damage anymore, so nature has to protect it. Okay, but he has nothing to do with the rest. Anyway, he and Qin Huai will never have children in this lifetime. As for adoption, he feels that it is impossible to consider it within ten years. He is still a child himself, a child of Qin Huai's family.
