Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Chapter 53:

You Guanglun and the two hadn’t had a deep talk yet. The person who installed the solar panel pulled the already connected wires out of the room, and then pulled it to the generator in another room. The subsequent work was much simpler. According to the drawings , What color line is installed on which excuse and it's over.

The other party came out, and Jian Chu remained silent, and Mu Nan was not a person who couldn't keep his mouth shut, let them settle their own affairs, so they stopped talking, and the two sat in surprisingly the same posture. On the mat, facing the busy people in the room, Qin Huai saw Mu Nan's cute sitting posture as soon as he came out, and said amusedly: "I installed the door by myself? That's great, you are tired, lie down and sleep for a while. "

Mu Nan shook his head: "Would you like to eat something? Eat a little more, so that you will have the energy to do other things."

Qin Huai said: "I'm not hungry, there are still steamed buns left, just eat some steamed buns later."

Qin Huai and Yu Zibai quickly installed the generator. As for whether it can start and run smoothly, it will depend on tomorrow. The room where the generator is placed is still tightly covered. It needs to be sheltered, and in the other room where the sun panels are installed, all the internal and external shelters have been removed. After a few months, they can finally see the scenery outside through the window, but now, the eyes There are ruins everywhere, and there are no more lights of thousands of houses, nor lights of cars and seas.

Qin Huai took a look, then turned around and said, "Go out, we should clean up and go down."

Yu Zibai nodded, followed Qin Huai and left the room, then closed the door, but his footsteps were a little heavy.

Seeing them coming out, Mu Nan quickly waved: "Come here and cool off, what do you want to put in your steamed buns? Come and choose for yourself."

What Mu Nan brought out was the old snacks in individual packets, including shredded kelp, diced lotus root, diced beef, and the strongest pickled mustard. Now that Jian Chu and the others are here, Mu Nan can only take out this kind of individually packaged snacks. These things are long-lasting, except mustard, the others can only be regarded as snacks, but now it is suitable to eat with steamed buns. If Jian Chu and the others were not here, Mu Nan probably would have brought out some cold dishes and white porridge.

Thinking that they will go to the rescue later, they will have to come into contact with some seriously injured or corpses, some mutilated limbs and even the scene of gutted intestines, and I am afraid that they will not be able to eat anything when they come back, so I can Eat as much as you are full, but you don't know if you can't help but spit it out later.

Mu Nan gave each of them a pair of disposable gloves, and told them to eat with the gloves on, so as not to have to wash their hands, save as much water as possible.

Yu Zibai smiled and said, "Is this a contribution to your snack inventory?"

Mu Nan also laughed: "That's not right, anyway, after a while, I'm afraid these things will be too hot to eat, so hurry up and eat them while they're still available, you can take whatever you want, put it in the steamed buns, Otherwise, eating steamed buns will be tasteless."

Jian Chu and Yu Zibai are not people who like to take advantage of others, so they only took a pack of diced lotus root, and the two ate a pack, tore the steamed bun from the middle, and sandwiched it in the steamed bun. Stimulated the appetite.

While they were eating, Mu Nan dragged out another box from the cabinet. Of course, he had put these away before Jian Chu and the others came. Anyway, Qin Huai couldn't hide it from Yu Zibai anyway. It was for Yu Zibai's use, so I simply cleaned it up in front of them.

The **** pack was used by Mu Nan before taking it out. It’s not too big, but it’s not too small. It can still hold a lot of things. Mu Nan put a bottle of cooling spray and a bottle of pain-relieving and hemostatic spray in it. I put some sterilized hemostatic powder, a small bag of cotton balls, gauze, and a pack of dressings. If I accidentally scratched while moving stones outside, I can clean and disinfect it by myself at any time. Seeing that there was still a gap inside, I stuffed a few more cold compress wet wipes, and didn't stop until the small bag was bulging.

"Brother, everything is installed for you. When you save people, you must be careful, especially don't step on the ground, stay away from those places with steel bars, do what you can, you know?"

Qin Huai replied with a smile: "Understood, I promise to come back tomorrow morning in full."

Mu Nan handed the purse to Qin Huai, then rummaged through the drawers, took a pack of those labor protection gloves, and gave them two pairs each: "You should wear thicker ones, so as not to scratch your hands."

Jian Chu watched from the side and sighed: "Your house is too complete."

Mu Nan didn't speak, Qin Huai smiled: "I lived in an old house for more than 20 years, and all my belongings are here."

Jian Chu thought the same at first. They are tenants. If they want to buy something, they have to consider whether it will be too troublesome when they move. There is a difference between a home and a rental house. Hey, today is another day when I envy my neighbors.

Qin Huai and Yu Zibai ate something, and they were ready to go out without eating too much, but before going out, Mu Nan and Jian Chu emptied one of the backpacks and came out to save others. If they find something that can be used, then It can also be packed and brought back. Seeing that Jian Chu was filling Yu Zibai with water, Mu Nan hurried to the kitchen, took a thermal kettle from the space under the cover of the kitchen cabinet door, poured a little water into the kettle, and poured a full jug full of ice , and put a bottle of water for Qin Huai in the backpack: "You must remember to drink a few sips from time to time, so as not to get dehydrated from the heat."

Qin Huai responded impatiently: "Got it, little housekeeper." It was not until the two went out together that Mu Nan and Jian Chu sat down again. However, after sleeping during the day, although they felt physically A little tired, but not mentally sleepy, seeing a few bags they picked up when they went upstairs piled up at the door, Jian Chu got up to check.

Mu Nan handed Jian Chu a pair of gloves: "Take a look after wearing them. If there are some personal things inside, it's better to avoid touching them directly."

Jian Chu thought so at first, so she put on gloves and began to rummage through things. The first bag she opened blinded their eyes. The bag was not too big, just an ordinary black briefcase, but inside it was a Bundles of money, the thickness of a bundle seems to be 10,000 yuan, and this bundle is 100,000 yuan. In addition, there are piles of gold ornaments, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold rings, and gold earrings.

Jian Chu and Mu Nan looked at each other: "This is too valuable."

Mu Nan shook his head: "Money is worthless, but you can keep the gold. No matter what time it is, gold can be used as hard currency."

Jian Chu is still a little uncertain: "Money is worthless? When the rescue from outside comes, our side will always be rebuilt. If you go to other cities in the future, this money can also be used."

Jian Chu was just like other people in this earthquake, he only thought it happened in their local area, because the communication was cut off and he didn’t know the situation outside, so he was still waiting for rescue, and when he found money, he would quickly put it in his bag Shou, never thought about it at all, just that night, the world collapsed.

At this time in the last life, Mu Nan also thought so. He felt that only their place had an earthquake. Although it seemed a bit serious, it was like the cities that had experienced earthquakes before. They would wait for rescue and rebuild their homes. Unfortunately, it will soon They knew there was nothing left.

So Mu Nan didn't say much, just said: "Then you keep the money, we don't want it, the gold will be divided in half."

Jian Chu quickly shook her head: "How can that be done? The things that everyone picks up together are half of the family."

Mu Nan didn't argue with him, anyway, money is useless, and it's too hard to burn a fire in winter, so Jane divided it, so he just let it go.

There is nothing in the second bag, some documents and so on, as well as clothes and a few bottles of water. They definitely don’t want the clothes, but the water can be kept. A few bottles of unopened water, whether you drink it yourself or It can be used for washing. In addition, some gold ornaments and bank cards were found in the interlayer of the bag.

Jian Chu put the valuables aside, and Mu Nan put all the documents back: "When they go down tomorrow, let them put this bag back on the corridor, maybe they will come back to look for it."

Jian Chu nodded. After all, there were documents and the like in it. After going through all the bags picked up along the way, he found more than a dozen bottles of water, seven or eight bags of instant noodles, and a pile of gold jewelry. , Although the air-conditioning fan is blowing on it, it is also hot and sweaty.

Pile up the useless things outside the door for a while, and divide up the valuable ones, Jian Chu then said: "Are we making a fortune for the country?"

Mu Nan glanced at a small pile of gold on the ground: "Is this considered getting rich?"

Jian Chu looked outside the door, a little ready to move. Now this building, I don’t know how many households came back, but those who came back should be from the lower floors. After all, the electricity was cut off, and the people on the higher floors might not be willing to climb up, that is, He said that it might be empty above, and he really wanted to pry open the door, even if he could find a few more bottles of water. But just thinking about it, Yu Zibai's face of disapproval appeared in his mind, forcing Jian Chu couldn't help but swear.

Mu Nan, who was taking off his gloves to wipe his hands with a wet tissue, looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Jian Chu said: "Would you like to search upstairs?"

Mu Nan shook his head: "It's better to say goodbye, our building didn't collapse, the residents upstairs must have escaped safely, when they got home, they found that their home had been stolen, and the situation outside was like this, what a shock , just wait a little longer, we will go downstairs with them in two days and dig through the ruins, and we can find a lot of things."

Jianchu returned to the mat, watched as Mu Nan found two small bags and packed the gold that he had just divided, and then said, "Do you think my thoughts just now are immoral?" So it really was him Isn't the three views correct? Normal people don't seem to have the kind of thoughts he just popped up.

Mu Nan smiled when he heard the words: "No, it's normal. Most people think this way at this time. I still have a lot of water at home. Look over there, there are a lot of buckets. If I don't have anything at home, I might I also want to collect some food and drink before others come back, nothing is as important as saving my own life."

And the most important thing is that there are a lot of things in his space, and there is no lack of that, but maybe others are short of that mouthful at home, and maybe they can survive because of that mouthful of water or food. So Jian Chu's thoughts are actually quite normal, he wouldn't have such thoughts, it's just because he has the confidence to live. When Jian Chu asked, he naturally thought about it. If Jian Chu did it directly without asking, he wouldn't feel anything.

Jian Chu sighed, he was just having an idea, if he really wants to pry open the door now, I don't know if the ideological education classes that Yu Zibai gave him in those years have worked, he really can't get over that hurdle. Looking at the lit lights in the house, Jian Chu said: "Turn off the lights and sleep for a while, save some electricity, in case the solar energy is not installed tomorrow, the battery can still last."

Mu Nan also felt that there was nothing to do. Although he might not be able to sleep, after all, he was still worried about Qin Huai who was outside, but it was useless to just sit. It is better to lie down, sleep when you can, and count the things in the space if you can't sleep. Things, before turning off the lights, Mu Nan put two bottles of water on the ground, Jian Chu's side and his side each, so as not to get up to get water when sleepy and thirsty.

The room returned to darkness, only the air-conditioning fan was still humming, Mu Nan turned his back to Jian Chu, and after a while, he missed his brother.

At this moment, Qin Huai has already registered with the soldiers in charge of their community, and then followed them to start cleaning from the center of the community. The residents here are denser, and there are more people buried below.

Someone saw that Qin Huai and Yu Zibai were wearing gloves, and quickly asked, "Where can I get the gloves?"

Qin Huai said: "At home."

The man was surprised: "At home?" What kind of home is there now? Looking around, it's all collapsed.

Qin Huai said: "Good luck, the house didn't collapse, and the floor we live in is also low. I went home and took a look, and found that the gloves are still usable."

Hearing this, the people who were close to me felt somewhat uncomfortable. Of course, this is not a feeling because they are jealous of others having gloves, but their home is still there anyway. Unlike them, the home is gone, and the family is still alive. Do not know at all. Thinking of it this way, my heart felt sour for an instant, and I moved the stone fiercely while shedding tears.

Maybe they were lucky, they just happened to be in charge of the rescue and clean-up area, and before they moved for a while, they heard movement below. Someone who was moving bricks and throwing stones here hurriedly shouted: "Stop! Stop!"

Hearing his shout, the others subconsciously stopped: "What's wrong?"

Yu Zibo said: "Listen, is there a voice coming from below?"

The others hurriedly listened, and the person closest to the source of the sound was almost lying on the ground, and then shouted in surprise: "Someone is still alive! Someone is still alive down here!! Come help, hurry up!" The voice The big ones yelled loudly, and the people who heard it around hurriedly gathered around, and the speed of moving the bricks and stones was countless times faster in an instant.

Soon the area they were in was moved out of a gap, and someone stood at the entrance of the hole and shouted, "Is there anyone in there? Someone just make a little noise."

The sound of knocking on the steel bars came from below again, which made many people very excited. Their community is full of high-rise buildings with more than 20 floors. If the speed of the low-rise buildings is fast enough, they may still be able to run when they collapse. After coming out, the ones on the high floors really have to wait for death, so it is not so much a rescue as a clearing of the corpses. It took only an hour to clean up a lot of mutilated corpses, and there were hardly any people who were still alive. See you. It is really a great luck to find survivors at this moment.

After tossing and turning for more than two hours, I was finally able to vacate a hole for people to go in, because the inside seemed to be a pothole. It may be some building stones stacked on top of each other, but it created a safe space. It is still a little high from the ground, so we can only let people go down to check the situation, hoist the people inside with ropes, and it is obviously unrealistic to expect the people below to climb up by themselves.

However, everyone has little experience in rescue, and it is difficult to decide who to go down. Qin Huai has some learning experience in this area, but has no actual operation. He checked the environment inside. If he is lucky, there is no second collapse, and rescue It was not difficult to go up. Just when he was about to try it, someone came out directly: "I am here, I have experience, I have participated in earthquake rescue operations before."

Hearing that he had experience, the people on the side hurried forward to help tie the rope. They pulled the man down little by little. There was no movement below for a while, because they were afraid that the loud noise would cause vibrations, and they dared not go up there. Shouted loudly, and after a while, someone below pulled the rope, and the people who had been waiting quickly pulled the rope up quickly, and someone kept using a flashlight to illuminate the inside, and when they could almost see people, they shouted excitedly: "Hurry up, it's a kid!"

When the first child was pulled up, he was in a coma and his face was deathly pale, but at least he was still angry. Someone carried the child and ran to the army settlement, and finally rescued one. Rescue, is not a waste of work.

The rope that was let down quickly came again, and everyone pulled it up vigorously. This time, it was an older girl. The girl was in a good condition. Although she was a little collapsed, her consciousness was still clear, and she was crying weakly. call mom.

Qin Huai walked over, tore open a piece of chocolate that Mu Nan put in his bag, and put it into the little girl's mouth: "Wait a little longer, your parents will be rescued soon."

Before he finished speaking, there was a vibration under his feet. Qin Huai immediately ran to the side as soon as he hugged the little girl. The others also hurriedly backed away. In just a few breaths, the hole he opened just now collapsed again.

Everyone's face turned pale in an instant, and then they rushed up to dig the hole open: "Hurry up! There are still people inside!" In addition to the people who were buried below, there were also people who went down to rescue people later!

It was almost dawn, and everyone was sitting on the side of the road exhausted. Finally, the collapsed hole was dug up, and all the people inside were carried out. There were a few more covering cloths on the other side of the morgue. One is the person who took the initiative to rescue. The man was Zhang Bin, thirty-two years old, and he had not been discharged from the army seven years ago. He participated in an earthquake rescue, and he saved countless lives that time. Seven years later, he rescued the two children again with his own hands, but he himself has no tomorrow.

Seeing that it was dawn and they hadn't returned yet, Jian Chu and Mu Nan, who hadn't slept all night, couldn't sit still, and opened a gap at the door to listen to the movement of the stairs, especially Mu Nan, who knew that rescue was also very dangerous , because it was a high-rise building that collapsed, not the kind of low-rise one-story building. I stepped on the air and fell into it. The space inside may be very deep, and there are some exposed steel bars. If you don’t pay attention, you will poke yourself. Mu Nan saw this kind of situation too much in her previous life. At that time, he was timid. He didn't dare to go to many places. He only dared to turn over some flat ground, so he avoided many dangers. Because he knew the danger, he panicked when he saw that Qin Huai hadn't returned after dawn. no more.

Waiting left and right, until they couldn't bear to go downstairs to find someone, they finally heard the sound of footsteps going up the stairs. At this time, it would only be Qin Huai and the others who climbed up so high, so Mu Nan rushed to the door and used The flashlight shines on the stairs: "Brother? Are you guys back?"

Qin Huai responded, and after a while, Mu Nan finally saw their figures, and his heart sank.

Before he could ask why it was so late, Qin Huai stepped forward and hugged him tightly. Mu Nan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously patted him: "What's wrong? Are you injured? Are you injured?"

Qin Huai, who didn't stop for a moment all night, said in a hoarse voice: "I'm not hurt, let me hug you."

Mu Nan could only stand firm and support Qin Huai's body weight as much as possible.

Jian Chu on the side hurriedly ran to Yu Zibai: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Yu Zibai shook his head at him, although he really wanted to hug someone like Qin Huai to absorb some warmth and strength, but the relationship between him and Jian Chu hadn't reached that point yet, so he could only say: "It's okay, just Tired, saved a few people, dragged out a few corpses, and didn't stop all night."

Mu Nan patted Qin Huai's back lightly: "The solar generator can operate normally, but it needs to store a little electricity to run the air conditioner. We will have electricity at about noon, let's go home first, go back Take a good wash at home and get some sleep."

Jian Chu also said to Yu Zibai: "Let's go home too. We haven't come back after waiting for a long time. Mu Nan and I connected all the wires. Now the solar energy can't drive the air conditioner, but it's no problem to use the fan. I cleaned up the stairs on the other side for a while, picked up a few bottles of water, let’s go wash it first, don’t save water, after all, you have carried corpses, it’s better to be careful, let’s go back first.”

Yu Zibai nodded, and followed Jian Chu to their respective homes.

There were no outsiders in the house, so Mu Nan let Qin Huai sit on a small bench, and took out an air-conditioning fan from the space to blow on him. The air-conditioning fan at home was taken by Jian Chu and the others before, and wiped him with a wet towel. Wiping his face and hands, there was indeed no wound on his body, but there were many scratches on his hands, and his hands were wrapped in gloves, and he sweated a lot. At this moment, the entire palm and fingertips were soaked in sweat. Mu Nan's eyes turned red.

Qin Huai rubbed his hair and smiled lightly: "Nan Nan, I have never felt so deeply that we are still alive, it's great."

Mu Nan squatted in front of Qin Huai, looked up at him: "Why don't we go out tonight, let's take it easy for a day, okay?"

Qin Huai lowered his head slightly, and kissed Mu Nan's forehead without any other thoughts: "It's okay, seeing you, everything will be fine."

Mu Nan was amused by what he said: "It's as if I am your life-extending elixir."

Qin Huai looked at him with a smile in his eyes and said in his heart, you are not a life-extending pill, you are my life.
