MTL - Natural Disaster Apocalypse-Chapter 87

Qin Huai didn't have to go to work, and Mu Nan didn't have to get up early. In the morning, he lay on Qin Huai's body like an octopus, with one side of his face pressed against Qin Huai's chest, almost drooling, and his legs under the quilt were completely Pressed on Qin Huai's lap, Qin Huai, a humanoid pillow, could only lie motionless and act as a tool for Mu Nan to sleep.

The heating in the house is sufficient, and Mu Nan doesn't like to sleep with things on his body. He always says that he can't breathe under the weight of the quilt. Now he is still able to do so. Of course, it depends on how comfortable he is, so he wears loose clothes when he sleeps. He was wearing a fleece pajamas, and the quilt was covered with a light but very warm goose down quilt. It was warm inside the quilt at the moment, but his body was heavy, and his even breathing swept over his chest. Qin Huai raised his hand to gently stroke it. Mu Nan's soft hair, if it wasn't for the bad health of skipping breakfast, he would definitely be reluctant to wake Mu Nan up in such a leisurely and comfortable morning.

But no matter how reluctant he was, he still had to get up when he should get up, and gently squeezed the back of Mu Nan's neck, even though he was asleep, Mu Nan still shrank instinctively, this habit that hadn't changed since childhood made Qin Huai laugh: " Get up."

Mu Nan hummed twice and moved, wanting to turn over and get out of Qin Huai's control, but as soon as Qin Huai sat up, he pulled him up too: "Get up, eat breakfast, after eating tomatoes and peppers, you still need to water Well, the quilt still needs to be removed and washed, and if I haven’t slept enough, I’ll take a nap in the afternoon, be obedient and get up quickly.”

Mu Nan frowned irritably: "Hmm..."

Qin Huai: "Stop humming, wake up yourself, or I'll wipe your face with a cold towel."

Mu Nan rolled over under the quilt, kicking her feet: "I don't have to go to work, so why wake up so early?"

Qin Huai: "In order to develop a good habit, it's nine o'clock, so it's not too early. Don't you still have to bake shredded beans today? You did so much yesterday."

It took me half an hour to get up reluctantly, and I only woke up after washing my face, but it wasn't because I woke up naturally that I didn't feel enough sleep, and I was still yawning all the way out of the bathroom.

Qin Huai said: "Let you wake up naturally, you can sleep until night, take out a bowl of noodles, half of us, and a boiled egg, and milk, it's almost ten o'clock, eat a little to fill your stomach , I can’t eat at noon after eating too much.”

Mu Nan is like a robot programmed by Qin Huai, with one command and one action, and after finishing, he looks at him blankly, Qin Huai funnyly splits the powder into two, then peels the eggs and puts them in his bowl Then put the chopsticks into Mu Nan's hand: "Eat quickly."

Mu Nan took two bites, and then Qin Huai threw a few slices of beef into the bowl. Mu Nan picked up the beef and put it back into Qin Huai's bowl, and threw the slices from his own bowl: "I don't want to eat it. This kind of beef is not tasty."

Qin Huai chuckled lightly: "Tricky mouth."

Half a bowl of noodles is not much, the two of them ate it in a few mouthfuls. After breakfast, Mu Nan was completely refreshed, and then went to water his peppers and tomatoes, while Qin Huai set up a small table and started to chop Mu Nan's cooking yesterday. The method of bean shreds and bean shreds is very simple. Soak mung beans and rice in water, then squeeze them into juice, brush some oil on the pot, heat the juiced pulp into shapes, and cut the curly rolls into strips , It can be eaten immediately when it is ready, and it can also be dried and dehydrated into dried bean shreds. The dehydrated bean shreds can be stored for a long time.

The shredded beans were dehydrated in the dryer. These machines were found in the shopping mall before, such as wall breaking machines, juicers, dryers, various ovens, and too many of them were brought back. Yes, if the outer packaging or the body is damaged but still usable, they will use it by themselves. Those that still have the outer packaging and the machine looks good will be temporarily stored, and they can be exchanged for points when they are sold later.

After cutting the bean shreds and letting Mu Nan take them to dry, Qin Huai started to use red beans as fillings again. This weather is most suitable for making sticky bean buns. After making them, put them outside for a while and they can be frozen. It was so rare that he wanted to get some frozen pears for Mu Nan. Southerners like them had never tasted this kind of pears frozen in the ice and snow.

The sweeper is set to mop the floor automatically, and the water outside has been poured. Mu Nan, who has nothing to do, is lying on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone. Qin Huai is making red bean stuffing beside him. The flour has been kneaded, so just put it aside and wait. Let it ferment, and don't do anything else in the afternoon, just make sticky bean buns.

Mu Nan was scrolling through the supplies section, watching those people hanging up and selling some weird things online, when he received the official news of the cold current, the estimated time of the cold current would be around 6 pm, Mu Nan said to Qin Huai: "The temperature will drop to minus 30 degrees. It's minus 20 degrees now. A cold snap will drop ten degrees."

This is an official message. At least it gave people a notice. In his last life, he didn't know how low the temperature was. It was getting colder every day. If there was a sudden wind and heavy snow on a certain day, the temperature would drop suddenly. People froze to death in their sleep, but the private base inspected every day, but the ultimate goal was to clear out the people who froze to death as soon as possible and take away their supplies.

Qin Huai: "I'm afraid this is a conservative estimate, the temperature may be even lower."

Mu Nan: "Then is this the arrival of the Little Ice Age?"

Qin Huai rubbed the red beans in his hands: "Probably not. If it was the Little Ice Age, the summer would not be that hot. I'm afraid there is an unknown reason that caused the extreme climate change on the earth."

Mu Nan said loudly: "It's so cold here, those people in cold areas may have to migrate to save their lives. Before summer, it was said that it was so hot that the glaciers would melt, but now it's so cold, the melting glaciers Can it be frozen?"

Qin Huai laughed: "Thawing and freezing are not the same way, and it's more fatal to repeat it like this. At that time, the accumulated amount of the heavy snow will melt again in summer, and I don't know how many countries will be submerged."

After reading the official feed, Mu Nan sent a message to Xu Ming. He didn't know what time he came back yesterday. Anyway, they didn't hear any movement in the yard. Xu Ming, as a person who suffered from various fractures and frostbite recently, Veterinarian, but in human medicine, he is too busy to even have time to drink saliva, so I asked him if he had prepared supplies for winter protection. If he arrived late, he might not be able to buy anything.

I don’t know if Xu Ming just took a break or just happened to see it, so I replied to him: “Buy it, you should be careful at home, the inspection result came out, the man-eating tiger is not the tiger that was killed last time, there is not much food in the tiger’s belly , according to the autopsy of the previous deceased, the cannibal is most likely a black bear."

Mu Nan quickly sent a screenshot of Xu Ming's words to the small group. Jianchu and the others are still working outside today, so they still have to pay attention on the way back, and then looked at Qin Huai: "Fortunately, you are on vacation, otherwise you would go to work." It's farther away from get off work, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist picking you up from get off work."

Qin Huai: "If you go to Xiong, will you avoid it?"

Mu Nan: "I have an electric sled. I can take it out to save lives at critical times. Aren't bears hibernating animals? Why is it so cold and they are still moving outside?"

Qin Huai said: "To hibernate, you need to store enough food to hibernate, and not all bears hibernate. Even if they hibernate, they maintain a high level of vigilance. They are not the ones who can't wake up. I'll be out looking for something to eat."

Qin Huai glanced out of the window as he spoke. There was no wind at the moment, so the snow outside the window could be seen more clearly: "Or that bear is preparing for its hibernation." If it will be cold to a new limit in the future Well, I'm afraid this is the time for predation, animals are always more sensitive than humans.

Mu Nan sighed: "Then let's eat honestly at noon, I'm afraid the smell will attract the bears."

Qin Huai said: "Eat fish, eat the spicy fish you like, add some fat beef and sheep, let's also add some green vegetables, eat some baby vegetables and spinach."

Mu Nan got up slowly, took out a pot from the space, put it on the induction cooker, and put the cooked fish in it. The fish was Qingjiang fish with few spines. One weighed at least three catties. Some side dishes are enough for two people, the fat beef and sheep are very crispy, and when it's spinach's turn, Mu Nan just dawdles.

Qin Huai said: "Just eat two, be obedient."

Mu Nan sighed, but obediently took it out. Compared with others who didn't even have to chew on the bark, he had to be grateful and content, so even if he didn't like it, he couldn't dislike it.

Mu Nan buried the spinach at the bottom. It is best to boil it until it is soft, so that you can swallow it directly without feeling the smell of earth. After eating fish, Mu Nan remembered: "Isn't the bear's favorite food?" Fish, this is more attractive than hot pot."

Qin Huai: "Don't worry, eat yours. The black bear is really coming. We're indoors, but it's outside. We have weapons, so what's so scary, maybe we can even shoot them from a distance, and we'll get you points."

Mu Nan quickly poohed: "The bad ones don't work well, the good ones, I don't want this kind of points."

Facts proved that they were not the chosen ones, so nothing so coincidental happened. Until the black bear was killed, Mu Nan didn't even see a single bear hair.

The cold snap came a little earlier than the government had announced, and the sky was completely overcast at five o'clock. The wind and snow were getting stronger, and the windows were blown to make whining noises. It's only slightly stronger with the warm damper closed. When the snowstorm picked up, their neighbors hadn't come back yet, but it wasn't time to quit work.

The sticky bean buns are already made, and they have been left outside for an hour or two. They are now hard and frozen. Mu Nan divides the sticky bean buns into a family of ten, all of which are already packed, so sit down now On the bay window of the room, I opened the curtains a little bit to watch the movement outside, and couldn't help but sigh: "They have worked too hard, the weather has changed, and they will not be released early. The road is snowy. It feels like people are going to be blown away.”

Qin Huai: "No way, they are different from the unit I work for. We have finished the software system. We only need to pay attention to the background maintenance and the normal use of the hardware facilities. They work overtime for a day so that more people can work. We moved into the greenhouse one day earlier, and now there are still many people from the school who have not been transferred, and we don’t know how many people have not been rescued from outside. In the whole city, it is impossible for us to have more than 100,000 people here.”

Mu Nan sat on the bay window for a while, and saw someone approaching slowly with a flashlight in the distance, but because the wind and snow were too heavy, it was a bit difficult to walk. When someone approached, he could recognize it just by looking at the shape Jianchu and Yu Zibai came out, but they were the only two of them, Wu Zheng was not seen, but Mu Nan went downstairs with the sticky bean buns he had prepared.

Qin Huai glanced at him and reminded him to put on his jacket, even if he just stood at the door and said a few words, it would still be very cold.

Mu Nan ran downstairs, Yu Zibai and Jian Chu had just entered the yard, when they turned around, they saw Mu Nan poking his head out of the room.

Jian Chu was covered in thick clothes, and even raised his hand to greet Mu Nan, Mu Nan waved to them: "My brother made sticky bean buns, you take them to Xu Ming, where is Wu Zheng? Didn't come back with you?"

Jian Chu shook his head, but his face was covered too tightly, or it was too cold, his teeth were chattering and his mouth was numb, and he couldn't even speak, so he had to make gestures with him, and waited until he got home to talk on his mobile phone explain. Mu Nan also gave Jian Chu Wu Zheng's share: "Then you send it there for me?" lest he run out in the wind and snow again.

Yu Zibai on the side reached out to take it, nodded at him, then waved his hand to let him go upstairs, turned around and walked towards Wu Zheng's house.

Mu Nan closed the door and went upstairs, and sat next to Qin Huai on the carpet on the floor. The floor was warm. Although it was not as soft as the sofa, it was warmer and more comfortable: "Wu Zheng didn't come back, and Jian Chu and the others couldn't tell if they were too cold." The words are coming, tell me when you go home, I asked them to send Wu Zheng's sticky bean buns over."

After a while, they probably got over it, and Jian Chu sent a voice message to Mu Nan: "Today is bloody, we met Wu Zheng's father."

Mu Nan remembered that Wu Zheng and his brothers seemed to be of the same mother, so he quickly asked, "And then? Did he go home with his father?"

Jian Chu: "Let's just go and have a look. His father seems to be living a bad life. Today we will meet his father who wants to find a job, but his father looks very bad. They are all in one piece, the outer cotton coats are all tattered, and the whole person is so rickety that he doesn't even have the strength to walk. How could the higher-ups ask for such a person, so they asked him to leave his address. If they are really unable to work, the higher-ups will make other arrangements for this part of the elderly.”

Mu Nan: "That's okay, so Wu Zheng sent his father home without worrying?"

Jian Chu said: "There's nothing to worry about. It was Wu Zheng who recognized his father first, but he didn't intend to go forward to recognize him at all. Later, when his father saw him, he ran over and grabbed him and cried miserably."

Mu Nan said: "And then?" A person who can take care of even a dog and will never leave him, if there is no reason, it is impossible to ignore his own father, at least the Wu Zheng he came into contact with is not like that kind of person.

Jian Chu said: "Then Wu Zheng didn't want to make it too ugly. After all, there are still many workers watching, so he told his dad to wait until he finishes work and pays today's salary. I guess he heard the salary, his dad Really didn't make any more trouble, but stared at Wu Zheng closely, as if he was afraid that he would run away, and followed after work. Maybe his father didn't want his father to know where they lived, so Wu Zheng didn't go home. I came back to talk to Song Jia, but I didn't even mention Song Jia's name, as if I was avoiding it on purpose, and I don't know what the inside story is, I just hope his father is not the kind who **** blood. When it comes to blood-sucking relatives, it’s almost impossible to live.”

Mu Nan was also a little embarrassed when he heard the words. His parents left early, but in his memory, his parents loved him, just like the kind of love in the world who wish to give all good things to their children, but he I also know that not all parents love their children. For example, his brother’s own father. Fortunately, his brother also grew up surrounded by love. Otherwise, as others said, an unfortunate childhood may require A lifetime to heal.

For dinner, the two of them ate a little casually, two dishes and one soup, and Mu Nan specially reserved some stomach, he wanted to eat barbecue, but unfortunately the plan could never keep up with the changes, until almost nine o'clock, Song Jia didn't wait for his brother, The whole person was in a hurry at home, and because of the cold snap, the temperature dropped sharply. Finally, Song Jia couldn't wait anymore, and went to look for his brother with her clothes on and her dog with her.

But the snow on the ground was a bit thick, he was afraid that Niu Niu would not be able to walk, and the dog had no clothes, and his paws were still stepping directly on the snow, afraid of frostbite, so he wanted to ask Qin Huai to borrow a car, but Qin Huai and his family Little Sanlun was placed at Jian Chu's house, and when Song Jia asked, they all knew that Wu Zheng hadn't come back yet.

Jian Chu looked at Song Jia who was already dressed tightly and was about to go out, and said: "But you don't know where your brother is, we do know which direction your brother is going, but we only know one direction. So, your brother and his father let him stay for one night."

Song Jia shook her head: "Impossible, if I stay with him for one night, it is impossible for my brother not to reply to my message, and even if the world returns to normal tomorrow, it is more likely than that my brother will stay with him for one night."

Jian Chu looked back at Yu Zibai, and Song Jia said, "I'll go out and look for it by myself. I know the direction you mentioned, and I'm taking Niu Niu with me. Niu Niu has the ability to find people now, and I also brought the walkie-talkie with me. I just don’t know if the walkie-talkie can still work if the temperature is too low, let’s try it and go in.”

Qin Huai and Mu Nan also came over, they went directly from the garage, they knocked on a door in the garages of the two families before, because they were afraid that when it was too cold or too hot outside, the two families would not be able to communicate with each other. Opening a door in the garage does not affect the privacy of the two families, it is just right. Seeing that Song Jia was planning to go out and look for it by herself, Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai, hesitated and said: "Otherwise, let's go together, if something really happens, you may not be able to handle it alone."

Jian Chu nodded: "Yes, wait, let's go change clothes, your small flashlight may not be enough, you need a big light."

Xu Ming said, "Song Jia, does your bathroom have a bathtub?"

Song Jia shook her head. These houses were not very well-decorated. Although bathtubs were dug out of the ruins before, this thing is really redundant. Who would bother to make this.

Xu Ming said: "In this way, Mu Nan and Jian Chu will stay at home, Song Jia, you open the door of your house, and find some containers to prepare some hot water, the more the better, be prepared, Song Jia, no matter how much Take a quilt and put it on the car, Qinhuai Zibo, let's go out with Song Jia to find someone."

Deciding to go out to find someone, the clothes should naturally be thick. While Qin Huai was putting on the clothes, Mu Nan put warm baby on his body, covering his whole body, not even the inner cover of the shoes, Qin Huai's shoes were still heated shoes, but he was still afraid that Qin Huai would get frostbite, so he stuck one on each sole of his feet, even the inside of his gloves.

Qin Huai said: "You and Jian Chu have to be careful at home, and try to use the walkie-talkie if you have something to do."

Mu Nan nodded: "You too, if you can't find anyone for a while, come back first, don't make us wait at home."

After the group went out, Jian Chu and Mu Nan went to Song Jia's house. Song Jia and the others lived on the second floor, and the third floor was empty. But there was no water, Mu Nan was about to go home and bring a slightly smaller inflatable swimming pool from the space. Jian Chu found an inflatable bathing pool for pets at Song Jia’s house. It’s not that big, but It's not too small, and there's no way for an adult to lie flat and sleep in it, but it can still be rolled up. They found this in the ruins, but it was too small for people to use, so Song Jia said they wanted it, and it could be used for Niu Niu's bath, but now it is in use.

Jian Chu took out that thing, breathed into his mouth, and Mu Nan started to boil water. Song Jia and his family only had one kettle, so Mu Nan ran home and got two and three kettles to boil together. Pour the boiled water into the bucket first, I just hope they can come back soon, these preparations are superfluous.

The person was finally found, and thanks to Niu Niu, she jumped off the car all the way and pulled a snowdrift. Qin Huai and the others hurried over. The snowdrift was Wu Zheng, who was already covered in snow. It was as cold as a popsicle, but the palms were still warm, which proved that there was still room for breath. Several people were strong enough to break Wu Zheng's curled up body, so he directly lifted him into the car and covered him half with the prepared quilt. Half wrapped, Song Jia hugged Wu Zheng tightly, the tears on his face were frozen into icicles.

The place where they found Wu Zheng was not on the only way home, but rather close to Building No. 1, and Wu Zheng's coat and cotton jacket were gone, and they didn't know what happened, but it was obvious. When Wu Zheng came back, he was very cold, knowing that he might not be able to resist going home, so he wanted to go to Building No. 1 first, but he lost consciousness without even reaching Building No. 1.

They are a bit far away from the medical station built later, so it is better to go home. This is why Xu Ming asked Jian Chu and the others to prepare hot water at home. If there is a traumatic attack from a wild beast, they can be sent directly to the medical station. No matter how far away it is, it must be sent there. If it is hypothermia and frostbite, first go home to warm up the body temperature, continue the hot air that has not dissipated, and then send it to the medical station depending on the situation.

Seeing that the person was being carried back, Mu Nan felt a thump in his heart, and hurried over to help with Jian Chu, but Song Jia was so frightened that his legs went limp, and the stairs at home were empty twice, if it wasn't for Jian Chu's help He pulled back, and his whole body wanted to roll down.

Mu Nan also quickly put Song Jia up: "It's okay, don't be afraid, we have prepared hot water, and Xu Ming is here, don't panic, what will your brother do if you panic, he still has to count on it And you."

Song Jia wiped away his tears indiscriminately, but with too much strength, the frozen icicles directly scratched his face, and the blood beads mixed with the melted snow water dripped down, it was scary to watch, Mu Nan quickly took Wipe him with a tissue. Seeing that Qin Huai and the others began to help Wu Zheng take off his clothes, but the clothes on his body were too hard from the cold, and Wu Zheng was curled up unconscious, making it even more difficult to take off, so he wanted to go to bed. Go and help.

Jian Chu pulled Mu Nan back: "Don't go over there."

Mu Nan looked back at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Jian Chu said: "The three of them are enough. If you squeeze over to help, it will get in the way. Let's boil the water. The hot water will probably keep burning. Even if the house is warm, the water will get cold quickly. Walk around and burn the water." water to go."

Mu Nan didn't think much about it, he said yes, and after talking to Qin Huai, he followed Jian Chu to boil water.
