MTL - Natural Disaster Apocalypse-Chapter 123
The current planting conditions are slightly better than before. In the past, you needed to dig the soil yourself, but there is not much soil to dig in the dry and cracked land. Whether the soil is nutritious or not is another matter. It is difficult to find the source of the soil. More and more houses are being built, and many roads are paved with concrete to keep them clean, so there is no place to dig the soil.
But the above should be very advocating family planting. Now that food is in short supply, if the food planting can be distributed to each household, the pressure on the above will naturally be slightly less, so when Song Jia asked if he could buy soil and seeds, Although the price is not cheap, it is still available for sale. He bought another pile of planks and nailed them into wooden strips. Like Qinhuai and his family, they filled the soil and planted strips.
After Qin Huai resigned and returned home, the happiest person was naturally Mu Nan. There are many people who are sick outside now. Although the chance of this patient spreading to others is very low, there is no need to avoid the crowd like the plague, but mosquito bites are even more difficult to prevent. The weather has also become hotter, and his brother can resign and go home, so he feels more at ease.
After resigning, Qin Huai spent a few days building the planned planting house on the roof, installed an air conditioner, and extended the heating pipe to the roof directly, so that he could wait until winter , if there is a power outage, the boiler on the first floor can also provide a little heat to come up.
After the living room on the third floor was cleaned up, the two spent a day cleaning it up. From now on, the third floor will be their living area completely, separating the planting area and the breeding area. The clean living environment will prevent people from getting sick. will be much lower.
In order to prevent the mosquitoes that might be attracted by the vegetable pots upstairs and downstairs from flying over, Qin Huai added a screen door to the gate installed on the third floor. Wearing mosquito coils, and then turning on the air purifier, there is almost no need to go downstairs to stay on the third floor if there is nothing to do.
When the inside and outside of the house were smoothed out, the house behind them that was bombed before was also rebuilt. The house where the Huang family lived was severely damaged, and the house next door, the Chen family, was also severely damaged on the third floor. The downstairs was alright, but the fire passed too quickly at that time, so it was completely burned.
Only Huang's second daughter-in-law and daughter are left in the Huang family, a mother and daughter. The two old men of the Chen family are gone, and the two brothers of the Chen family are also in trouble. Because the younger brother blamed his sister-in-law, these things in the Huang family would have never happened without Gan Wei, so he blamed all the deaths of his parents. On the body of the sister-in-law.
The eldest son of the Chen family doesn't think so, but the problem is that he still has two children, and his children can't live without a mother, but the family is still broken up, and even the mother-in-law who had a good relationship with him before, he can't do anything about it now. Treated it rationally, knowing that they are not at fault, but it is a fact that their parents are gone because of this. The family that used to be very warm can never go back.
The surviving mother and daughter of the Huang family vented their hatred of losing their family members on Gan Wei's aunt and cousin. a woman.
When Mu Nan was just discharged from the hospital, it was the time when the two families had the worst quarrel. There were still two floors of the Chen family’s house, and now there was no hotel outside where people could stay temporarily, so the mother and daughter of the Huang family directly When they lived in Chen's house, the two families either fought or quarreled every day. It would be difficult for anyone to deal with this matter. The originally wealthy family would be gone if they said nothing. No one could bear it.
Even if the doors and windows are closed now, Mu Nan can hear clearly at home, and will pay attention to it at first, but the noise is too frequent, and sometimes there will be a scene in the middle of the night. It's annoying, but no matter how annoying it is, I can only endure it. At worst, I just watch movies with headphones on.
Although his home was seriously damaged, many doors and windows had to be replaced, but no matter what, it was a coincidence that the explosion happened at the exact time of the explosion, and he knew that his entire home was gone, so it was not for such a reason. A little compensation to make trouble.
Their family doesn’t want it, but the two families behind and the neighbor’s house that was burned a little by the wind, of course, it’s impossible not to pay compensation, so what if people die? In the current environment, how many people die every day? Big, how scarce supplies are now, windows and broken doors can't be repaired quickly, how can the heavenly beings bear such heat, it's natural to see the sky.
Later, it was the youngest son of the Chen family who couldn't take it anymore and left alone. Then one night, the eldest son of the Chen family took his wife, children and mother-in-law with him. Although the relationship with his wife's mother could not be restored to the past, he couldn't do it to make him leave his wife, so he took them away together.
The Chen family is gone, the mother and daughter of the Huang family have nowhere to go but they want to stay, no matter what, this is a place to shelter, but those families who can't afford the compensation and can't unite, In the end, he packed up everything he could take and left.
The tragedy in the courtyard at the back came to an end in front of everyone. As for their future life, no one cares about it. They just think of it occasionally, and when they think of the compensation they failed to get back, some people will Cursing and cursing.
Although the lease term of this house has not yet expired, everyone has left, and it is impossible for the bombed-up house to be empty. The two houses were flattened and rebuilt. Therefore, in the almost completely unified architectural style of the second district, there are Two houses with very different appearances were slowly erected.
The window of Mu Nan's room is facing the back, and you can see it clearly from the third floor. The speed of building the house is really fast. It didn't take long for the two small third-floor buildings to be built, but the decoration is probably not as good as that. If the conditions are met, at most scrape a layer of putty, so as not to sleep in a brick house.
Mu Nan leaned on the window and looked at the building behind, and when he heard Qin Huai's voice entering the room, he said without turning his head, "Brother, what kind of residents do you think will come here? So many people died in this house, even if the whole house If it is knocked down and rebuilt, some people will think it is unlucky, right?"
Qin Huai put a few cleaned and disinfected towels on the shelf under the air conditioner, and said, "It's good to have a place to live. Many people outside don't even have a place to live. Now the temperature has risen again. Today's temperature is fifty-five degrees." , the surface temperature is already in the 70s, it’s all like this, who still chooses a house, and the environment in our area is relatively good, a single family does not need to contact too many people, if you want to live here, I’m afraid you have to fight for a house fan."
Mu Nan said with emotion: "Fortunately, you decided to live here. If you had to live in that apartment building, you still don't know what would happen."
The environment of the apartment buildings in the first district is not bad. Compared with the sheds in the outer city, it is already very good, but the living is too dense. Some families have more than a dozen people in a small house of 60 square meters. People have to come in and out, and the elevators are overcrowded every day. Although the water supply is normal now after it gets hotter, the current water is terrible water. People who even take a bath are frightened. In case there is a wound on the body, Once washed by water with worm eggs, it is easy to be infected, and this infection is fatal.
However, the source of water is not so easy to solve. Live insects can be filtered out, but invisible microscopic insect eggs are not easy to filter. Even disinfection is not enough to disinfect the water source that supplies millions of people.
Now the population of their residential area has exceeded one million, but this is not the survivors of the entire city. Apart from their residential area, there are several other residential areas, but now the road is being flattened a little bit, and vehicles have started The transportation exchanges between them have also maintained contact with each other. The surviving population that has been counted is 6 million. This is the data after their city updated their ID cards. Those who are suffering from the plague in the city center have not been counted.
It is a good thing that there are many survivors, but when new problems occur and there is not enough life-saving medicine, then this is a terrible thing.
Although they are locked in the house and have almost no contact with people outside the third district, but now the coverage of the local area network is getting bigger and bigger, and they can see more and more things from the Internet. The situation outside is transmitted through some photos. It was also frightening to watch, because of this, Mu Nan was even more grateful that he followed Qin Huai in the first batch and chose the good seat in the second district to settle down.
Qin Huai hooked his hands, and Mu Nan jumped off the bay window and threw himself into his arms: "What are you doing?"
Qin Huai raised his chin and pecked lightly on his lips: "I want to kiss you."
Mu Nan turned his head and refused to kiss, Qin Huai pinched him on the waist, Mu Nan fell on Qin Huai's body, just about to fight back, when he heard the sound of the iron gate being opened in the yard, the two stopped playing, and when they arrived Pulling open the curtains on the balcony and looking out, it was the girl's car coming back.
Now that street lights have been installed outside, the weather is too hot, and almost all the places where you go to work have turned day and night upside down, and you can't go out during the day, so some activities that you can go out can only be moved to night. Street lights, not to mention bright as day, at least those street lights are not the dim ones before, they are large spotlights with high wattage, so they are very bright, anyway, they are now powered by solar energy, and the power is sufficient, so people can see clearly from a long distance up.
Because they could see clearly, there were only three people in the car that came in. Thinking of Hu Xuan whose leg was amputated due to a pustule infection, Mu Nan asked about the situation in the group.
Hu Xuan was infected more than a month ago. At that time, the condition was very serious. In some places, there was no way to debride the worms, because some worms were about to penetrate into her bones. In order to prevent further infection, the hospital recommended amputation.
If a beautiful girl is amputated, how will she live in the future? Now it is not the same as before. There are many job choices, and even the conditions are too poor to receive social relief. Now that she has no leg, how many people are willing to take care of her? Such a drag.
Hu Xuan couldn't accept the reality that there were only a few pustules, so why amputation was about to happen.
In the end, it was her little sisters who promised again and again that even if they get married in the future, they must live together and take care of each other. It is better to count on sisters than to count on men. Can't believe what kind of people each other is.
In the end, it was easy to talk about it, and finally persuaded Hu Xuan to accept the amputation, because if there is no operation, even the amputation will not be able to save her life.
Surgery is naturally successful, but follow-up treatment and prevention of infection are the most critical.
At that time, after Hu Xuan's operation was over, they went to see it together. Every family had money to give money, and what to produce. Mu Nan's family had only one little rabbit left, and they were going to raise it until five or six years old. I ate it myself at the age of one month. Now that Hu Xuan had such a major operation, she needed to replenish her body, so Mu Nan sent a rabbit and some tomatoes and peppers. These are the only things that can be shown in his family .
However, Hu Xuan’s recovery was not good. One was the shortage of medicines. Many medicines for amputations were not available. Another one was that the environment in the hospital was not very good. With the outbreak of parasites, the hospital was overcrowded, and the wards were full of people. Such an extra bed, even the aisles are full of people sleeping, all kinds of people come and go, especially these people are infected with parasites, the bugs burrowed into their bodies, and the screams one after another can't be quiet for a moment.
Hu Xuan couldn't rest well in the hospital, and the food she ate was not nutritious. In the end, her condition became worse and worse in the hospital. The doctor prescribed some medicine for her to go home and take care of her.
It has only been less than a week since I came back. Yesterday, Hu Xuan seemed to have a fever. The condition was very bad and she was rushed to the hospital. The girls didn’t come back all day yesterday. There's nothing they can do to help.
The reason why Jian Chu was able to add a hospital bed to leave earlier was because the situation was serious at that time, but it did not erupt as seriously as it is now, so now there is no way to give Hu Xuan a back door. I can only say that it depends on other aspects such as sending Meals and the like, those of them who are not working at home, can still do a favor.
Mu Nan originally wanted to ask how Hu Xuan was doing, but before the girl replied, she heard a very miserable cry, which seemed to be from Sun Sisi.
Mu Nan and Qin Huai looked at each other: "The situation doesn't seem right?"
Qin Huai said, "Go and see?"
Mu Nan nodded, and then changed into another piece of clothing. Although it was hot, he had to wear long-sleeved trousers and sprayed with mosquito repellant when going out. If he wore short-sleeved shorts, even the mosquito repellent would not be able to stop the mosquitoes attack.
Because Sun Sisi was crying too loudly, even Song Jia and Yu Zibai came out, Jian Chu had no choice, his health was too poor, and he was still being raised now, Yu Zibai would not let him go out at all, if he was bitten, then Too dangerous.
Sun Sisi was sitting at the gate of her house crying. Yang Jing, who had just parked the car in the garage, also had red eyes. Song Jia looked at them and said, "What's wrong? Is Hu Xuan not feeling well?"
When Song Jia asked, Sun Sisi cried louder, and Tu Juan, whose hair was cut even shorter, said, "Hu Xuan... is gone."
Several people immediately looked at each other, Yu Zibai frowned and said: "Isn't she still able to talk yesterday, she even greeted us when you left."
Yang Jing said: "I can't get in at the hospital, there is no medicine, and we can't get a number. We have been waiting in line for a day, but we still can't get a number. I want to ask for medicine first, but there is no one. We asked Xuanxuan before But he said that the hospital can’t get any medicines out now, so he finally found a place to lie down, and kept cooling down physically, but the temperature couldn’t drop, and the amputation site didn’t heal, and the infection festered. .”
Sun Sisi cried and said: "She said she wanted to eat Bozai Cake, which was something she could only eat when she was very sick when she was a child. She said she wanted to eat it, and she said she would go home if she knew it. At home, it’s better to get married early, she took my hand and called Mom, and kept saying sorry, saying that she was homesick, wanted to go home, oh..."
Tu Juan rubbed Sun Sisi's hair. Sun Sisi and Hu Xuan have the best relationship. Sun Sisi is lively and detached, while Hu Xuan is quiet and elegant. Compared with her and Yang Jing, who has a hot personality, Hu Xuan is the most tolerant of Sun Sisi. They lived in the same room again, and now that Hu Xuan was gone, she held Sun Sisi's hand and said something before she died, which must have had the greatest impact on Sun Sisi.
Sun Sisi was tired from crying, sobbing and murmuring: "I couldn't find Bozai Cake, and I didn't let her have one last bite..."
Mu Nan asked Yang Jing in a low voice: "Then, has Hu Xuan been taken away?"
Yang Jing nodded: "A week later, use her ID card to collect the ashes."
The few people didn't say much in the yard, they went back to their respective houses after getting a general idea of the situation, there were too many mosquitoes outside, so they couldn't stay for long. And the people are gone, so there is nothing to say, except to feel the horror of the red-headed mosquito and the mutated tapeworm again, let everyone be more vigilant and pay attention, facing the current environment, they have no other way.
Qin Huai and the others had to go through three doors on their way home, one of their own. After entering the door, they walked around twice on the second floor where the mosquito coils were lit, then entered the door on the second floor, and sprayed diluted toilet water again at the door on the third floor to disperse them. Take a look, although you can't see any mosquitoes when you get here, but the third floor is a residential area, so it's better to be careful before entering.
After such a layer of protection, I took off my clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower after going up to the third floor. After such a short time, and the long-sleeved trousers were stuffy, my body was already sweating, thinking that there should be nothing to go out , It is more comfortable to take a shower before entering the bedroom.
After taking a bath, the two of them wiped each other's bodies with face towels soaked in toilet water. On the one hand, they checked whether they were bitten. Prickly heat, after such a procedure, you can comfortably eat and watch movies in the room.
But today the two of them were in no mood, and they lay down on the bed when they got back to the room. Although they didn’t have much contact with the girls, they had been living here for almost a year, and they still had some basic friendships. They lived so close, Now that the person is gone, it is impossible to act as if nothing happened, and this is the first person among the people they know to see that they are gone. Before going out yesterday, Hu Xuan waved goodbye to them.
Mu Nan lay in Qin Huai's arms for a while, and whispered, "Sun Sisi seems to be still crying."
Qin Huai caressed gently on his smooth arm: "Sure, we've lived together for so long, a big living person, if he says nothing, he'll be gone, looking at the things around that still have the breath of the other party's life, I want to be together for a while." It might not be easy to get out."
Mu Nan: "The scene of them frolicking and moving in seems like it just happened yesterday."
Qin Huai didn't speak, but the caress continued, and Mu Nan was just emotional, thinking of what happened not long ago, and thinking of Hu Xuan, and said: "If you didn't prepare the deworming medicine, then Jian Chu would be gone too." .”
If it wasn't for Qin Huai's careful preparation, he didn't buy insect repellent at all, and he didn't even think about it, then there is no medicine at this moment, and Jian Chu can't save him. They didn't have any medicine in their hands, and now that the parasites broke out like this outside, I'm afraid they would live in fear and panic every day. Now that they have medicine, they always have a little bit more confidence than others. It's really thanks to Qin Huai's comprehensive preparations.
Qin Huai said: "In two days, take that imported box and eat one for daily insect repellent."
Mu Nan turned to look at him: "Will it be bad if you eat so densely?"
Qin Huai: "No, it's been more than a month. The daily insect repellent can be eaten once a season. You almost drank water with insects last time, so it's better to pay more attention. This time you eat it." When it's over, remember the time, if there is no problem, eat it once every six months, mainly to prevent accidents."
Mu Nan nodded, turned over, and stretched out his arms to hug Qin Huai: "I hope the higher-ups will find a solution to this bug sooner, it's more difficult than the sun, just hide from the sun, these mosquitoes that bite people everywhere, The food that may be contaminated by mosquitoes flying over, and the unclean water source are terrible."
Qin Huai raised the blanket a little higher and covered Mu Nan's shoulders: "Sleep?"
Mu Nan snorted, "I can't sleep."
As soon as Qin Huai raised his hand, Mu Nan said, "Don't hypnotize me."
Qin Huai smiled: "If you really can't fall asleep, you won't be able to fall asleep even if I touch the back of your neck. You're obviously sleepy, so why do you have to stay up?"
Mu Nan hugged Qin Huai's arms: "I just feel that it's not good that I can still fall asleep when someone is sad."
"What's wrong with this, everyone's sorrows and joys are not related to each other, go to sleep, the female rabbit is about to give birth again?"
Mu Nan hummed: "It should be these two days, my stomach is getting bigger, and it should have been born a week ago, and I don't know why it hasn't been born yet."
Just after Mu Nan finished speaking, the phone under the pillow vibrated, and he took it out to see that it was Yang Jing who was speaking in the group in the compound. Mu Nan said to Qin Huai, "Yang Jing is asking, when the time comes, Hu Xuan's ashes will be taken away." After I get it back, can I bury it in the yard, and bury it next to the wall on their side."
Qin Huai: "Let's go with them, we don't care." Anyway, he and Mu Nan are not people who pay attention to these things, and they don't think it would be so bad to bury ashes in the yard.
Mu Nan saw that Yu Zibai answered yes in the group, and also replied: "It's okay, you can watch it, we don't mind."
After Yang Jing sent a few words of thanks in the group, he stopped talking. Mu Nan put down the phone, sighed again, and didn't think about it anymore, hugged Qin Huai tightly, closed his eyes and went to sleep.
As soon as Mu Nan opened his eyes the next day, Qin Huai said to him, "The female rabbit gave birth, and this time she gave birth to eight."
Mu Nan swept away the shadow of yesterday's death in an instant, and ran to the second floor to see the eight newborn lives without washing his teeth or brushing his face. The days are like this, with ups and downs and occasional surprises.
