MTL - Natural Disaster Apocalypse-Chapter 80
Although there are ruins everywhere, the bricks are not easy to get. The bricks that can be reused are more difficult to turn over, but everyone knows that this is related to their own safety, and it is hard to find. As for the cement, they I plan to exchange it with the army at that time. Since they are going to rebuild, they must have these reconstruction materials. At that time, they can exchange points for a little bit, but before that, enough bricks for the wall must be prepared.
The place they chose was close to the wall, so it was enough to build the wall on three sides, but only to surround their own houses, or to surround Wu Zheng and his house together, which became a problem that everyone struggled with. The reason is that they don't know who Wu Zheng's neighbors will be in the future. If they don't get along well, it will cause trouble for both of them. Twice as many bricks, otherwise Wu Zheng would work with them to move the bricks, and in the end it would not be his own house, thank you.
In the end, everyone decided to circle together first. If Wu Zheng and his neighbors in the future are troublesome, they can just knock down the fence and circle again.
Looking at the piles of old bricks piled up against the wall, Song Jia couldn't help but said, "I hope our neighbors will be easy to get along with, otherwise we have to demolish it again, what a bother."
Mu Nan comforted: "There are still more good people than bad people in this world, don't worry."
Although he died because of a bad person in his last life, but to be honest, the environment he grew up in is still very clean, without too much calculation, not too much malice, simple and comfortable interpersonal circle, everyone is very polite He's polite, but it's also possible that he's been living in his own world, doesn't talk to people very much, and has a shallow relationship with no conflict of interest, so the people he meets are relatively simple in his opinion. However, he felt that he was lucky in this regard. There were only two permanent neighbors on that floor, both of whom were good people. Wu Zheng and the others he met later were also pretty good people. What a complicated person.
It took more than a week for the above to transfer the materials. This is because it took a lot of effort to flatten a road. After the road was cleared, it could go back and forth three times in one night. There are not many people, and you can fly all the way. It used to be almost two hours, but now it takes less than an hour.
The higher-ups directly placed the camp where some soldiers of the army temporarily stationed in the power station. It is said that when they passed by, the villagers also drove away, and even confidently stated that no one would take care of them in such a big disaster. Now it is hard to save themselves. When I came out, I wanted to grab something. There is no such good thing in the world.
Although those villagers made a fuss, they also knew that these things would definitely be taken away by the government in the future. They just wanted to gain some extra benefits by making such a fuss. They even fired warning shots at the soldiers, and they didn't take it seriously , The thoughts in my heart are still in the past, thinking that they didn't do anything wrong, you are just bluffing at most, I don't believe that you really dare to shoot and kill innocent people.
And when the villagers saw them taking out their guns, one by one became more excited, shouting, and those who made the most noise were shot dead in the end. Sometimes it is really difficult to reason with a group of barbarians who are stubborn there, and because Qin Huai and the others reminded them before, they know that that place has been occupied by some villagers. They have investigated the situation there before and were beaten The person who died was the leader of these villagers. He used to have a little money in his family, but after the bad weather, he saved a lot of food. After the earthquake, this person even exchanged food for women, all of whom were fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls. Not just one.
It was originally for knocking mountains and shaking tigers. When encountering this kind of scum, if you don't knock it to death, it's hard to keep wasting food.
After being so shocked, the other villagers panicked. In the end, the soldiers led people to search the entire village, uncovering all the solar energy equipment hidden in the house, and some women who were imprisoned in the house. He and the little girl were also brought out. Some people were not afraid of death and wanted to argue, saying that they exchanged rice for it, and they were voluntary. Soldiers shouldn't listen so much, and if there is a big disturbance, they will send you a bullet. This place is not so deep in the mountains and rivers, so they do this kind of thing.
With cars and equipment, the speed of relocation from the epidemic area will be faster. All people who are not sick and in good health should be transferred out as soon as possible. Those who have passed the quarantine period and are not sick are also gradually going to The residential area is moved, and soon the houses here will be full, and the new policy will come down soon. At present, the points system is temporarily adopted, ranging from five points to twenty points a month for small apartments, and ranging from fifteen points to thirty points a month for townhouses, and the most basic physical work here can be earned in a day Two points.
Such a cheap calculation is actually very cheap, but whether it is accommodation or food, unless you don’t live here and don’t eat government canteens, of course it doesn’t matter. If you want to live here, you have to work hard to earn points regardless of food and lodging. This is also to mobilize everyone to join the reconstruction team. The more people mobilized, the faster the reconstruction will naturally be.
Mu Nan remembered that when he came to the base in his last life, the new currency policy had already been implemented. It was a bit like going back to the last century. SGD can buy a corn tortilla weighing half a catty, that's the price. But at that time, ID cards were used, and all the money and personal information were bound together. Unlike now, the points are still issued with a small note stamped by the government. I don’t know when the new currency policy was implemented. But it should be this winter.
After the materials were transferred, Qin Huai bought some cement from them and surrounded the two townhouses. There were still many bricks they had rummaged through before, but not too many, because Jian Chu and the others It was against the courtyard wall by the street, and the height of the courtyard wall was relatively average. For safety, the courtyard wall they were leaning against was raised a little higher, and it was also covered with a layer of glass slag.
The number of people living here has gradually increased, because the rent system has come out, and the area like them is not large, and it is in a marginal area. Twenty points a month is not much, even if there is one person in the family. It is also affordable for people to work, but it is said that there will be extra charges for water and electricity in the later stage. Anyway, as long as you are willing to work, you can definitely afford to support yourself. Seeing that the rent is not high, many people start to move to townhouses choice, and their neighbors also came from Wu Zheng's side.
Those who come later don’t choose their own houses. You can choose to live in a villa or an apartment at most, but you have to listen to the arrangement where you live. Qin Huai said hello to Brother Xu before and asked them to allocate more housing for them. Be careful, find someone easy to get along with.
On the way of migrating here, Brother Xu also received a lot of benefits from them. Some sauces were eaten by others. Naturally, he agreed to such a little thing. He also paid special attention when allocating the house, and then allocated four A college student, um, four girls.
Standing on the balcony on the third floor, Mu Nan watched a few girls chattering about moving things into the house. Thinking of the meaningful smile on Brother Xu's face before, she felt... well, these girls are indeed quite safe. It's not lethal. This is because all three of their houses are men, so the extra care given to them is this kind of benefit.
Qin Huai stood beside him and looked down together with him. Seeing Mu Nan staring there without blinking, his tone was slightly cold: "So pretty? Staring at it without getting too hot?"
Mu Nan sighed: "You said that our small courtyard can still have peace." It's not that he dislikes girls, but that in the future, it will be really difficult for a girl, and she will attract many eyes. There are only four of them here, and those with dirty minds will be easily spotted. Enclosing the yard in this way has attracted a lot of attention.
Hearing Mu Nan's exclamation, Qin Huai's complexion improved a little bit, and his first reaction was to complain, which didn't enlighten him, and it would be even more difficult to enlighten others. It's good to be so stupid, Qin Huai dragged him into the room. Wu: "It's up to you whether there is peace or not. They just came here and don't know what kind of temperament they are. Anyway, stay away from them."
Mu Nan didn't think much about it, and nodded in agreement, and even told Qin Huai: "You too, I don't want to have to separate because of having an extra sister-in-law just after I settle down."
Qin Huai just laughed when he heard this, and flicked his forehead: "I told you that there is no sister-in-law."
Follow Qin Huai back to the room, as soon as they entered the room, the cold air hit their faces, they went to get back their own things, the generator, and even the film cloth, as for the food that was taken away before, because Jian Chu and the others It’s not good if they don’t want them at all. After all, they were together all the way, and they were also together when they turned things around. It can be said that they have ‘knowledge’. It seems a bit abnormal not to order food and put it at home, but it is necessary. Not much, enough for ten days and half a month.
Once the solar energy is installed, the air conditioner will be able to run quickly. Qin Huai knew that there will be heavy snow in the future, so he directly installed the solar panels on the roof, and did not directly spread them on the balcony of the top floor as Yu Zibai planned. Snow, it would be too difficult to clean up the balcony like that. As for their balcony on the top floor, Qin Huai plans to go to the military headquarters in two days to ask if there is any sunshade roof that can be replaced. In this way, snow will not accumulate on the roof and it will take trouble to shovel it.
The solar energy is still shared by the two families at present, because they are all spread out, and the area to receive sunlight is larger. In addition, both Jian Chu and Xu Ming live in the room and use the off-hook, so it is not as difficult to drive as the cabinet machine. Therefore, the air conditioners of the three families can all be used, and some surplus electricity can even be saved. However, Jianchu and the others still want to change a generator by themselves. The three families share a generator, and they can only be consumed by the air conditioner. They didn't dare to open it easily. They asked the military department before, and it was indeed possible to change it, but it seemed that they had to connect all the circuits here to see if there was any spare room for replacement.
According to Jian Chu's words, once the air conditioner was turned on, he was instantly promoted from a poor peasant to a landlord.
After returning to the room to cool off, Mu Nan was still thinking about the new neighbors who came to their small yard, and asked a little curiously: "Didn't the school not have classes later? It has been closed for a long time, why are they still together and haven't come back?" House's."
Qin Huai: "Not everyone has a home to go back to. Well, don't think about them, go take a shower, you're covered in sweat."
Mu Nan let out a cry, and walked to the bathroom with clean clothes. They have been completely free for the past two days, so they can wash cleanly every day without going out.
The business district has been turned upside down. Anyway, they took the first opportunity to buy all the things that can be used. Afterwards, they really couldn’t find many things that could be used, so they had to haul them. Wood that can be burned in a few days, Mu Nan told them, prepare a little, if one day the power is cut off and you can still cook, they will stock up together, and when there are more and more people, they will not go any further. I went to the business district, it's not safe because there are too many people.
There is no place to search. Yesterday, Jianchu and the others directly joined the rebuilding team. The lack of food in their hands made them very uneasy, so they went straight to work without stopping, and they worked hard all day to get a free meal. And three points, that is, the food in the cafeteria is more oily than salt, the taste is really not good, but the staple food is a big portion, anyway, at least two points can be saved after eating.
As for Mu Nan, according to what he said, he was kept in captivity by Qin Huai, because Qin Huai also had to go out to work, but Qin Huai is not going to move bricks, and now all aspects of reconstruction need people, like house reconstruction, not just moving bricks, People who understand some construction aspects are needed to guide the planning. In addition to residential construction, the re-operation of the network naturally requires people to do it. Otherwise, where will the local area network come from in the future, and where will the new electronic ID card come from? It is quite suitable for this part. Although I have never been in touch with this kind of software, but this thing is also composed of codes. It is not too difficult for Qin Huai to get started after reading a little book and exploring.
It is estimated that Qin Huai had already expected this. When preparing supplies, he bought a lot of books on communication. When he was free at home, he would read books, and then make a few simple software to practice his hands.
For this, Mu Nan admired Qin Huai very much. He really deserves to be his brother. Others take one step to see ten steps, but his brother takes half a step to see a hundred steps. Anyway, doing the Internet is his brother's profession, and he is good at it. It does not need to be troubled outside, and it is a technical job for high-level talents. Although it is still an internship, it will depend on the ability to become a regular. After all, this is not a matter of making software well. There is an internship period in the job, and you will be made a regular after making sure that you are capable and not just come to make a living with a little understanding.
The internship period is three points a day, but only two meals are taken care of. The canteen is not a big canteen for coolies outside. I eat with the messengers. The taste of the food is slightly stronger. There's a lot of leeway. After becoming a full-time employee, it is said that five points a day will take care of two meals, and there will be additional subsidies and benefits every week or every month. Although it is not much better than moving bricks outside, it is still very good, and the air conditioner is blowing. Just use your brain, and there are other welfare subsidies. The current materials and conditions can only be like this. This is only for ordinary employees. If the ability is improved, the salary will be better.
Who would want to go out and do coolies when they can lie comfortably at home? As for the realization of self-worth, for Mu Nan, it is safe to stay at home and let his brother work outside without distractions, and then wait for his brother to come back Eating delicious food comfortably is his greatest value. Anyway, his brother didn't let him go out to work, so he agreed without hesitation. For an otaku painter, he can paint leisurely at home Painting is the greatest pursuit.
But Huahua still doesn't have the conditions to paint now. It is said that the water is flowing in the past two days. After the pipeline is repaired, the underground water supply will be dredged. When there is water, Mu Nan plans to return to his old business and grow vegetables at home. Even if the floor heating is not turned on in the house, they can still turn on the air conditioner. When the time comes, they will set up some soil pots, grow some small vegetables, and sell them when they are harvested. Generally, they will keep the harvest for themselves.
Hearing Mu Nan's plan, Qin Huai expressed his support: "I'm going to work tomorrow, you can turn on the air conditioner in the living room outside, be careful when assembling those shelves, don't hurt yourself, I'll see if I can fix it in two days Get some wooden slats, and then nail some shelves on the second floor to place a few pots of soil. When the power is turned on here, turn on the air conditioners upstairs and downstairs, and plant if you can. Open the door, if there is a situation, run out the back door as soon as possible, do you know?"
Although the courtyard wall is now surrounded, there are patrolling personnel in this area, but the morals of the world cannot be linked to the word safety for the time being, so there must be no less things that should be warned, just in case there is an emergency situation, Mu Nan He couldn't react well and didn't know what to do. The people next door had gone to work, and there was no one to help each other when something happened, so Qin Huai could only tell him several times a day, so that he could form an instinct, and the first reaction when encountering a problem was to run away. , nothing matters to anyone.
Mu Nan didn't respond impatiently, and also told Qin Huai: "You have to build a good relationship with the people around you. I plan to plant some tomatoes this time. If you can grow them successfully, you can bring them to the chief of your unit and eat them." You have a short mouth, and you are not lacking in ability, so you will definitely be able to become a regular!"
Qin Huai rubbed his hair: "If you can't turn around, you'll just come back and you'll just raise me. What are you afraid of?"
Mu Nan nodded triumphantly: "That is, don't worry, I will always be your strongest backing!"
The working hours are still at night, from 10:00 pm to 5:00 am. It happens to go out at dark and return home at dawn. Before going out, Mu Nan brought out a table of meals for Qin Huai. This was the first time he sent his brother to work, and there was always a sense of ceremony. Although he didn't drive, he went out to work, so he stopped drinking. Qin Huai picked up a lot of dishes: "Eat more, I also put some mung bean shortcakes for you, but they are sweet, I am afraid that the meat for you will go bad after a while, if the food in the cafeteria If it’s not tasty, you can just take two bites and eat something delicious when you come back.”
Qin Huai responded one by one, and he could eat whatever he gave. It's not that he never went out to work, and the projects that earned millions did not make him feel happy to earn a few points.
It was time to go out after dawdling, Qin Huai didn't let him go downstairs, so as not to break out in a hot sweat, and once again told himself to be careful at home, and then went out with his bag on his back, there was Mu Nan in the bag for him to prepare food, water, and a small weapon. Their home is not too far from their place of work. It takes 20 minutes by bike to get there from the side door. It is in the office building of the power station. The office building has only four floors and is not high, so it is easy to clean up if a part of it collapses. The part that has not collapsed can be used directly after tidying up. Like they are now developing new software for the government, and even involving some communication repairs, it is natural to work with the information engineering soldiers in the government office building. The distance is not far, but you still need to pay attention to the safety on the road. After all, he is alone, so he always has some weapons at hand.
After Qin Huai left, Mu Nan was not idle, and began to toss his earthen pots. The living room on the third floor would not be seen by outsiders, so the shelves for those earthen pots were directly bought by him before the end of the world. Just put them together. The pots are still those soil pots that were collected in the house over there, and they were still hot when they were taken out. Mu Nan used someone else's recipe for him based on his online research and the strategy he made when he bought the seeds. He plans to plant some peppers first. After all, he has experience and is better at planting them. Then he will plant some tomatoes. Tomatoes are not easy to grow. They have higher requirements for temperature, soil and water, but always You have to try, anyway, the heating will be turned on in the house in winter. It is said that they will provide floor heating. It seems that this place has been rebuilt at the beginning. The floor heating uses electricity to generate heat. I just don’t know if the solar energy in winter can supply this area. Power consumption.
Seeds are to be bred, they must be soaked in water first, tomato seeds need to be soaked in cold water and then hot water, Mu Nan followed the guide step by step, set the alarm clock, and after soaking in the water, he began to loosen the soil, one pot The soil in the pot needs to be loosened and mixed with nutrient soil. Peppers and tomatoes can mature in two to three months, but they seem to be annual plants, but it doesn’t matter. As long as they can grow successfully, they can be planted when they are mature. , although there are many in his space, but he always has to learn to take seeds.
Time flies quickly when he is busy with work. After he cleaned up all the soil pots in the room, it has been several hours. Although the air conditioner is on in the living room on the third floor, he has been working , also sweated a lot, Mu Nan checked the seeds in the water, and it was still a few hours before the second hair soak, so he turned off the air conditioner in the living room, went back to the bedroom and took a shower, even if solar power, it should Save or save, so as not to consume too much power to move.
After coming out refreshingly, I started to fiddle with the projector again. I was a little tired lying on the bed holding my laptop and watching, and there was no TV at home, so the projector came in handy at this time. But before he could understand the instruction manual, he heard a sound outside, fearing that someone would come in while there was no one on their side, Mu Nan hurried to the balcony on the second floor and opened some curtains to look out, and saw that it was Jane When Chu and Wu Zheng came back, they breathed a sigh of relief, so they opened the balcony door on the second floor, and they were shocked when they went out: "What are you doing?"
Jian Chu waved at him: "Come down quickly! We have meat to eat!"
Niu Niu next door was jumping up and down around its owner. If Mu Nan read it correctly, Wu Zheng and Yu Zibai had crooked their necks when they brought them in from the outside, and the animal whose neck was blood red was an alpaca?
