Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 39:

Mu Nan thought about it for a while, and felt that if his brother just fights but doesn't help him in this situation, he will be very sad, but his brother is sad, and facing the person he likes, wouldn't it be even more sad, no wonder Jane At the beginning, I had an awkward fight with Yu Zibai. Mu Nan took a look at Jian Chu, and didn't know what to say. This matter couldn't be resolved with just a few words of persuasion from outsiders, so he couldn't help but sighed.

Jian Chu laughed and said, "Why did you suddenly sigh?"

Mu Nan glanced ahead, and deliberately amplified his voice: "My brother is also very good at fighting, Yu Zibai, how long have you been learning Taekwondo? I don't know who is better, you or my brother?"

Yu Zibai turned back and smiled, looked at Qin Huai, and said very self-aware: "That must be because your brother is very good. I learned Taekwondo when I was very young. I didn't learn Taekwondo after my mother passed away. I just practiced it occasionally. .”

Mu Nan let out an oh, and then said to Jian Chu: "My brother rarely fights, almost never, he is not a person who likes to use violence to solve things, but do you know why my brother fought with that person in the corridor last time?" fight?"

Jian Chu didn't know why Mu Nan brought this up suddenly, but she was really curious: "Why?"

Mu Nan said: "That person is my brother's good classmate, but he lied to me once, and my brother broke up with him. He didn't give up and found him again. My brother helped me vent my anger and beat him up. I was beaten up!" Of course, the process of the matter certainly cannot be explained clearly in just one sentence, but those are not important.

Mu Nan concluded: "Isn't someone like my brother super reassuring? To find a future partner, you have to find someone like my brother. Only unreasonable protection can make people feel at ease, right?"

Qin Huai, who was suddenly included as the first choice for the future spouse, was actually just a persuasion tool: "???" Has his brother opened his mind?

Jian Chu, who seemed to understand what Mu Nan meant after making such a big circle, rolled his eyes at Yu Zibai from the corner of his eye, and hummed: "Indeed, whoever can be your sister-in-law in the future will be really lucky."

Yu Zibai, who has already felt that he has been a little awkward with him these two days but doesn't know the reason, seems to understand something, a little funny and a little helpless.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them seemed to have become a little weirder, Mu Nan came back to Qin Huai's side, and he could only help them so much.

Because I decided to go to the pet hospital to see if there was anything useful to move back, so after receiving the supplies, several people went home directly and put down their things. It happened that Mu Nan specially built a small trailer when he bought the soil and transported it up, so Went with a small trailer, in case anyone wants to get some dog food and cat food or something.

The pet clinic where Xu Ming works is not far from the community. At the beginning, it was because he worked here that he rented a house in their community. He just wanted to be close. A group of people can walk to a road through the back door of the community. There was a whole row of noodle shops on the road before, all selling some snacks. Every night, there would be an electric stove in front of the shop for some barbecue. This kind of snack street is very crowded at night, but now, it is deserted. The street lights were on, and there was no one in sight.

Mu Nan pointed to one of the shops and said to Qin Huai: "The pot helmets made by this shop are super delicious, and the ingredients inside are very rich. It's opened by a big brother from the Northeast, but unfortunately they can't take away. Every time you want to eat, you have to go down and buy it yourself. There's a long queue."

When Qin Huai left, this street was still a dilapidated street, and there was a row of old low buildings waiting to be demolished. Although it has been repaired now, it is a pity that the coldness is not as cold as it was in the past.

Following Mu Nan's guidance, Qin Huai imagined Mu Nan's life in the past few years when he was away. arrive.

The clinic doesn’t have a big facade, but it’s deep inside. There are two floors. The first floor sells goods and pets are bathed. The second floor is for treatment. Because the clinic is relatively small and there are no large treatment equipment, most of the people who come here They were sent by some nearby pets to take a bath. After Xu Ming opened the door, he put down the light baffle inside, and then turned on the light. Because the power was cut off yesterday, it was very hot inside, even more stuffy than outside.

Xu Ming said: "Look at what you can use, take whatever you want, anyway, if you don't take it, these things will be broken."

Jian Chu asked: "The boss of the clinic won't pursue the goods if they are gone?"

Xu Ming smiled: "The boss of the clinic has left long ago, not only this one store, but several others, and the boss didn't give me this month's salary, saying that he wanted me to sell these things in his store If you sell it, you will sell it, and it will be considered cash."

But how many people are willing to spend money to buy pets now, even if he even sells and gives away, he probably can’t find a buyer, and he has to work hard. Forget it, there’s no need to be so tired for a month’s salary, it’s better It's a favor to be a cheap neighbor. If the situation gets worse in the future, he can have a few people who come in and go out together.

They can understand some products by themselves, but they can't understand medicines without Xu Ming. After all, many medicines are packaged in single capsules, not in boxes.

Xu Ming opened the medicine cabinet that was still warm, and took out the medicines that had been dispensed before: "These are anti-inflammatory, and these are for treating coughs and colds. Although they are for pets, if there is really no medicine, People can also use it. The whole bottle of cough water has not been opened, and it should be stored in the refrigerator for a while. This pile is for treating trauma, gauze, and hemostatic powder. They can also be useful. Who do you want?"

Qin Huai said: "Put it on the trailer and take it away first. It's too hot here, so we can't wait too long." Everyone agrees when they hear it. Anyway, they take away what is useful, so we can wait until we go back.

When they were checking the medicines, Mu Nan successfully found the urine pads. He almost took all the biggest ones and put them in stacks on the small trailer. All kinds of pet snacks and cans are swept into the box, so that you can get more, whether it is useful or not, let's take it away.

Jian Chu followed suit and found a bunch of empty boxes. He took whatever he saw, and didn’t even let it go in the cabinet. This was the first time he did this kind of thing, and he suddenly felt that it was good to sweep the goods without money. It's cool, although it's all for pets.

A few people were lucky enough to find a few boxes of pet body wash in the back container. Although it is for cats and dogs, people can also use it. I heard that pet body wash is more expensive than human use. It doesn't matter how you wash it. When the last group of people came out of the small clinic, the small clinic was almost empty, and the small trailer was already full. Qin Huai and Yu Zibai pulled it in front, and Mu Nan and the three of them occupied a direction to protect the boxes of things, so as not to Falls off when dragged.

On the way back, they also saw two young men sneakily opening the locks of other people's stores. Seeing them, the two ran away with a guilty conscience. Probably because life is hard, seeing that there are no people on this street, so I want to go into the store to see if there is anything valuable.

What Mu Nan thought when he saw this was that now he would feel guilty and run away when he saw people, and later, when he saw them dragging things in boxes, his first reaction was to rush over and rob them.

A few people returned to the community hot and sweaty, and a familiar neighbor saw them dragging so many things back, and asked curiously, "Where did you buy the goods?"

Xu Ming smiled and said, "No, these are dog food. My boss has closed the door and run away, and the salary has not been paid. There is still some dog food left in the clinic. Let's drag it back and see if I can sell some."

The man lost interest immediately, and couldn't help complaining: "People can't afford to eat these days, who cares about dogs, I think you are wasting your time in vain."

Xu Ming sighed: "Then what can I do, life is going to be difficult, let's try."

Back on the seventeenth floor, Xu Ming asked, "Who should put the things first?" He only turned on the air conditioner in the bedroom, obviously there was no extra room to distribute these things.

Qin Huai didn't speak, Jian Chu said: "Let's put it there, our living room is quite spacious."

Xu Ming raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already one o'clock in the morning after all this tossing, so he said, "Why don't we go to distribute it now, because we don't need to collect supplies tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so we don't have to go out."

Jian Chu also felt tired, so it was settled once and for all, so there was no objection.

Only then did Qin Huai say: "Okay, let's go back to the bathroom first, and come over later."

After being outside for so long, he felt that he needed to add some water. Now that water is scarce, there is no need to drink other people's.

When he got home, Mu Nan directly took out a pack of unsealed wet wipes from the space. Towels also require water, so it is better to use wet wipes, so he bought a lot of wet wipes, thinking that even if the water shortage is too high in the future You can't take a shower, just wipe it with a wet towel. Qin Huai brought him a bottle of water from the refrigerator: "Drink some, it's too hot."

Mu Nan drank in small sips. Drinking too fast is refreshing, but people who will freeze after a while are not comfortable. Drinking in small sips can quench thirst and relieve fever. After drinking more than half of a bottle of water, Qin Huai took it and Mu Nan didn't finish it. I drank it all in one gulp.

Mu Nan fanned the wind, and handed a wet wipe to Qin Huai: "Wipe it quickly, your face is flushed, this is the first time we go to someone else's house, do you want to send something? And Dr. Xu, although the things are not his , but without him, we would not be able to get these now, among other things, those pee pads are indeed very useful, do you want to thank them?"

Qin Huai said, "Take two bags of frozen buns you made."

After Mu Nan thought about it, he thought it was okay, so he brought out two bags. He was carrying the big buns, and a small plastic bag was six, so it was just right to give away.

She probably didn't expect them to bring something with them, so Jian Chu quickly refused: "Just give it to Dr. Xu, how expensive these buns are now, you can keep the rest for yourself."

Mu Nan said: "I packed these when I was idle at home during the epidemic. I still have some at home. These have been frozen for a long time. Take them, don't be too polite. several."

Jian Chu was really embarrassed, and they didn't help anyone. This box of things belonged to Dr. Xu, so it was a bit of an advantage to take buns for nothing. But seeing Mu Nan's irresistible look, he subconsciously looked at Yu Zibai. Yu Zibai had no choice but to go forward and take it: "Thank you, it's the same sentence, if you have something to shout, nothing else, I still have some strength."

Mu Nan smiled, and handed the other copy to Dr. Xu: "Would you like to take it back and put it away first, and don't thaw it later."

Xu Ming was not too polite, and nodded simply: "Okay, share the things with you, I have already taken some back before I can use them, so I won't divide them among you."

Jian Chu was afraid that they would be hot, so although the air conditioner was turned on in the living room, he still took out a fan to fan the air: "You guys take it first, we don't know how to use these things."

After Mu Nan made sure that they didn't want peeing pads, he put all the peeing pads on his cart, and then told Jian Chu to pour out the boxes: "This is dried meat, no added chicken and duck. Would you like to open a bag and try it?" Jian Chu took a look, and simply opened a bag, which indeed smelled like meat, and it was still crispy. It didn't taste like anything in your mouth when you first ate it, but it was quite delicious after chewing a few times. of: "This can be eaten."

Mu Nan will take out the few bottles of insect repellent spray shared by pets: "We bought a box of this before, so we don't need it. We will take some anti-inflammatory, gauze and hemostatic medicine for this medicine, and you can take care of the rest. Take it, there is still canned food here, can pet canned food be eaten?"

Xu Ming, who put the steamed stuffed buns home, just came here, and when he heard Mu Nan's question, he said, "There is meat in it, and the meat content is quite high, but the taste may be a challenge."

Mu Nan clicked his tongue: "Forget it, we don't want it anymore, okay, we just need the urine pad and these medicines, and you can deal with the rest."

Jian Chu looked at several boxes, including shower gel, and asked, "You guys should take some of this, too. There are no more daily necessities, and such a big bottle can last for quite a long time."

Mu Nan didn't lack this, but he still took some. The rest were really useless, so they were all handed over to Jian Chu.

Looking at the things all over the floor, Jian Chu said: "You said if I go downstairs to set up a stall, can these things be sold?"

Mu Nan gave him an idea: "Look, don't these dog foods come in small packages. When the time comes, you open the small packages for people to try. Maybe someone will buy it if they think it's edible."

Jian Chu was full of suspicion. There is no such person. He knew it was dog food.

Setting up a stall is just an idea. After all, there are still some edible things. Anyway, they are all unemployed and have nothing to do at home. It is better to find something to do. If they really want to sell some money, they can buy more things. I don’t know if it’s their wish come true or the market demand. The day after they moved back from the clinic, someone asked in the group if anyone wanted to join the trading group, and sent a group code to their community group Inside, the residents in this area are allowed to join voluntarily. They are all people who live in this area. If you have any extra things in your hand and want to exchange them for other things, you can trade with them in the group. Of course, this transaction is also discussed separately. , Safety should also be paid attention to separately. The group owner only provides a communication platform, and there is no extra ability to guarantee the others.

Thinking that it's okay anyway, if you go in and have a look, you can get some more information, so Mu Nan joined the group, and soon Jian Chu also joined. When they joined, water was being sold in the group, and the 500ml bottle of mineral water was 70 yuan a bottle, with unlimited purchases.

Even though they are an old community, there are quite a few rich people. Many tenants here are here for business and have some savings in their hands. It’s just that those businessmen are used to being cautious, and the situation was not good before. At that time, I was afraid that something might happen in the future, and I had the confidence to have some money in my hand, so I didn't buy much at that time. But looking at it now, it is obvious that money cannot bring confidence, and life is difficult now, and the general environment has become like this. I am afraid that I will not be able to buy things if I have money in the future. It is the most scarce water now, and there are many people who buy it.

During the time when it was closed before, there were a lot of group buying scams, and they could be scammed at that time, let alone now, and many places are in chaos now, murders and robberies happen every day, and the police can't take care of them, like this kind of scam For those who cheat money, although the case is still filed for you, there is really no manpower to investigate and manage it, so people no longer believe in group buying. Now when buying things, they pay for the money and deliver the goods, and they are even afraid of being scammed. They always make an appointment with some acquaintances to act together. The more people they know, the more secure they will feel.

Mu Nan didn't follow those people to buy water, seventy yuan a bottle, even if Qin Huai still had some money, it would be a waste if he didn't use it up, but he would rather buy a few more boxes of chocolates than buy such expensive water.

Soon Mu Nan saw the dog food news posted by Jian Chu in the group, 300 yuan for a bag of ten kilograms of dog food, and also posted a photo of the dog food packaging bag, which can be delivered to the door at a short distance.

There are many transactions in this group, but most of them are food and drink. This is really the first time for dog food and cat food. Many people complained:

"People can't get enough to eat these days, who cares about these cats and dogs?"

"Can people eat this food? How does it taste?"

Jian Chu quickly replied to the person: "It's definitely edible, but it's tasteless, like salt-free biscuits, crispy and crispy, and the meat content is also high. The basic nutritional needs must be met."

Probably the person just asked curiously, and there was no more after the question. Jian Chu was not discouraged, and continued to send some cat and dog snacks, canned food, and pictures taken before to the group. However, most of the inquiries were about cat and dog body wash. They dragged back several boxes of those. Even if they used it themselves, they probably wouldn't be able to use it up until the expiration date, so Jian Chu planned to sell some. They were all in big 1 liter bottles, and Jianchu was all five hundred and one bottles.

Nowadays, the purchase of toiletries also needs to be restricted. Although water resources are scarce nowadays, everyone may not have the conditions to take a bath, but no matter what time it is, there are rich and poor, so don’t look at the many people outside who are dirty and smelly. There are also many people who need to take a bath every few days.

Jian Chu didn't expect that there were quite a few people who were interested in the things he posted. Many people chatted with him privately. In addition to selling a few bottles of shower gel, there were many inquiries and few purchases. In the end, Jian Chu simply I posted a time in the group, saying that I will go down to set up a stall tomorrow, and then I can try dog ??food and cat food on the spot, and take it away if I think it is acceptable.

After finishing all these things, most of the night passed, Mu Nan has been watching in the group, occasionally making jokes, and said wow on the pet snack picture posted by Jian Chu, this looks delicious, ah, this is a meat bar or something Yes, as much as you can attract.

It's just that Jian Chu's hands hurt when he was chatting with people on the mobile phone, and Mu Nan sat cross-legged on the bed, eating Qin Huai's sliced ??watermelon while watching the excitement, until he ate a watermelon Mu Nan put down the fork, "I thought they really wanted to keep these things for themselves, but I didn't expect there to be a trading group, so I really came up with whatever I wanted."

Qin Huai took Mu Nan's endless watermelon to clean up for him. Before, Mu Nan's habit of eating watermelon was to cut half of it and dig it out, but he couldn't finish half of it at once. No matter how long it takes, there will be no change, but after taking it in and out, and putting it in the refrigerator repeatedly, it feels not so fresh. Now Qin Huai cuts a watermelon, cuts it all at once, and puts it in a box. , Take a box directly when eating, eat as soon as you can finish a box, and finish it if you can't finish.

Seeing that Jian Chu posted in the group that he was going to set up a stall, Mu Nan asked Qin Huai, "Then shall we help?"

Qin Huai: "They will go as soon as they open their mouths."

As soon as Qin Huai finished speaking, Jian Chu sent them a message, telling them the time to set up the stall, and asked them to bring the cart with them. Jian Chu's thought was very simple, these things belonged to Xu Ming, and they carried them back together, so even if he came to set up a stall, the money earned would be shared equally by the three of them. If it was divided by head, then Xu Ming would suffer more Yes, and this thing was originally Xu Ming's, so it was simply divided according to the family. Xu Ming made the things, he contributed, and Mu Nan's family provided convenient transportation. How good it is.

Even if you set up a stall in the community, there is still a risk of being robbed, so the few people who didn't plan to go out the next day all went out. A deterrent. Qin Huai originally didn't want Mu Nan to go out, but seeing that Mu Nan was in high spirits, he didn't stop him.

Soon Jian Chu put the table under a street lamp under their building. Mu Nan was still worried about the lack of light, so he specially brought a rechargeable light from home, and they were still putting it on the table. , Some people who had just returned from receiving supplies from outside came to watch the excitement: "What are these?"

Jian Chu introduced: "Dog food and cat food, do you want to try it? It's all made of meat. It's nutritious and can fill your stomach. It costs 300 yuan and 10 kilograms. It's not a staple food. If you're usually hungry, eating a few can make you hungry."

Hearing that you can try it, the person is not welcome. Although it is for cats and dogs, since it is made of meat, try it, but the taste is really ordinary, like a tasteless biscuit. What did that person say? The person who paid special attention to them from the group before and knew what time they would come to set up a stall, was walking over now, and asked as soon as he came up, "Can I see the date?"

Jian Chu hastily said: "Yes, just take a look."

Two men came down, one was in his thirties, and the other looked less than twenty years old. The younger one looked at the date on the dog food bag. After confirming the date, he confirmed the anti-counterfeiting label. Looking back at the person who should be his brother: "No problem, the date is quite fresh."

The older man said: "Can we get cheaper if we ask for more?"

Seeing that they really planned to buy it, Jane said, "Two hundred and fifty bags, but they won't be delivered to your door."

The man thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay." After speaking, he took out his mobile phone, scanned a thousand yuan on the payment code that Jian Chu took out, and directly took four bags of large-packed dog food.

The people who tasted it before did not expect that someone would actually buy it, so they hesitated for a while: "Two hundred and fifty bags?"

Jian Chu said with a smile: "That's what people get more, but you are the first to see it, so I'll give you this price, do you want to? If you want, I'll help you choose something delicious, and I'll eat all of them However, the taste is also good and bad."

That person didn't know what kind of mentality it was. He probably saw that someone bought it, and felt that he would lose money if he didn't buy it, so he simply nodded: "Okay, I'll buy one too."

Mu Nan, who was squatting on the flower bed opposite them, couldn't help but said to Qin Huai: "Brother, do you think they bought it for themselves to eat, or did they have pets at home?" If they eat it by themselves, then the taste is quite unique. Yes, anyway, he had tasted it, and it was a bit scumbag in his mouth, not tasty at all.

Qin Huai: "Those two people must have pets at home. Well, they probably ate them by themselves."

Mu Nan shrugged, okay, anyway, they are all edible, maybe this bag of dog food can really save lives in the future.

This is really what Mu Nan thought about. The person who bought the food just took a look at it. Nowadays, a catty of rice costs more than a hundred yuan. It is more than two hundred for such a big bag of food. I want to buy it back and put it away. Well, it’s not much money. Then there was an earthquake, the world was in chaos, and there were not many edible things dug out of the ruins. Their family really survived to the survivor base opened by the government with this bag of dog food. I entered the base and found a job as a coolie, and finally survived.
