Chapter 180
I have no idea what kind of end-of-the-world survival is being staged by people outside. The people who took refuge in the subway station have been suffering for three days. Although the incident in the cafeteria yesterday subsided, it is not as if things have calmed down and nothing happened. The seats in the cafeteria Although there was no change, some members of the self-defense force were allocated to guard the door. The distance between people in line was at least one meter, and they were not allowed to get too close.
As for the person who was injured yesterday, although there were some, it was not as exaggerated as the rumors said. A pregnant woman was indeed hit by the collision, but she only saw red, and she was not bleeding like the rumors.
The most injured person was the person who was pushed into the noodle pot by the mentally disturbed person. He suffered extensive burns, insufficient medicine, and limited cleaning water. His condition was not very good.
The insane man was a young man in his thirties. From the time he failed the college entrance examination to being forced by his family to repeat his studies for a year, this person’s mental state was a little bit off. Before, he could communicate normally with others. The more silent he is, but his parents feel that this is a sign of his son’s calmness. Not only do they not think there is any problem, but they also feel that the child is sensible and mature.
As a result, he still failed the college entrance examination in the second year, and finally only went to three universities. After four years of living as a bastard, he never came back to find a job, but squatted at home playing games and gnawed at the old man.
A doting mother, a strict father, who has become an adult and can no longer be like a child who beat and scolded at every turn when he was a child, and the family relationship is in chaos.
The first time this man got sick was when the smog hit the city. At that time, people couldn’t go out. He ran out regardless, and injured his father. In the end, people in the community helped him and tied him up. At home, it was only then that his parents realized that the child had a mental problem.
But there is a problem, but there is no way to treat it. The environment is getting more and more difficult every day. There is a lack of medical treatment for ordinary illnesses, not to mention mental problems, and there is no such condition to treat them. Fortunately, when he is good, he is better than when he is bad. A lot, day by day, and I have survived until now. In the end, I didn’t expect that such a big incident would happen just after I missed someone.
It hasn’t been said whether the food robbery will be pursued or not, but the person who was scalded was injured because of him. This responsibility must be fully borne by their family, and the pregnant woman who was hit by the collision was also innocently implicated. If you can’t find the person who hit you, then find the perpetrator of the incident.
The people who took refuge below and had nothing to do except lie down every day watched this incident very lively. This involved several tragedies, but it was a topic of chatting among more people after dinner.
Even Cai Wenwen used this to educate Xiaozhu, telling him not to run around, to be careful when walking outside, and not to run amok, otherwise, if he hurts others, it will hurt himself even more.
It is said that the parents of the mentally abnormal young man have been begging for forgiveness from the family members of the burnt victim.
But how can this be forgiven, the burn is so severe, the man is not very old, he is just thirty years old, has not yet married, and is the economic pillar of the whole family, how can this be forgiven, ruined a person, the whole family They were also destroyed.
Listening to other people talking about this matter with gusto, Mu Nan leaned against Qin Huai’s body and played a single-player game with his mobile phone. He didn’t dislike other people’s gossip, but he didn’t like to participate either. They are all people who have a hard life. What is the meaning of gossip people?
Song Jia and the others had already started to have fun on such a boring refugee day. There was no way to bring mahjong when fleeing, but Jianchu brought poker cards, so they changed from counting soybeans to counting rice.
Xiao Zhu took refuge with them for the first time, and then discovered the New World. Every day, it was not too hot to squeeze into Mu Nan’s side, taking a movie seat. Although his mother didn’t restrict him to play with the mobile phone, what can be in the mobile phone now? He is not very literate and can’t understand many things, and he has never even watched a cartoon when he grows up. I am fascinated just looking at it.
This is the third time I came to Mu Nan today, and asked anxiously, “Brother, is he going to watch a movie today?”
Mu Nan looked up at him from the game amusedly: “But my brother hasn’t finished his work today, so he can’t watch movies.”
Xiaozhu let out a disappointment, and asked again: “What is brother going to do?”
Mu Nan: “Well, there are many things to do, such as wiping the mats, mopping the floor, and cooking.”
Xiaozhu quickly raised his hand: “Brother, I can! I can wipe the mats, and I will wipe the mats for my brother!”
When Song Jia finished her round and replaced Jian Chu, she saw Xiaozhu working hard in the place where they slept with bare feet and buttocks pouted.
“You are child slave labor.”
Mu Nan: “This is because he was taught from an early age that if he wants to gain something, he has to give. He can’t just open his mouth and shout, brother, and everything he wants will come true. What are we going to eat next?”
Probably from the beginning of the migration to the collective refuge later, as long as they are outside, it is acquiesced to eat with a partner, which can be regarded as saving fuel. Today I cook with their family, tomorrow with Jian Chu’s, and the day after tomorrow with Song Jia’s. In this way, the three companies come in rotation, and no one suffers.
But Qin Huai and Wu Zheng basically came to cook, and Jian Chu is just helping out now, there is no way, his cooking skills are not as good as those two.
When Mu Nan was questioning, Cai Wentao and Daniel came over, but they didn’t wear the uniforms of the Self-Defense Forces. Seeing his nephew working hard, Cai Wentao, as an uncle, not only didn’t feel sorry for him at all, but even stretched his feet towards the **** in a particularly vicious manner. With a light kick, Xiaozhu kicked and fell on the mat with a slap on the face.
Xiao Zhu looked back in a daze, saw Cai Wentao who was laughing and swaying back and forth, and said angrily: “Uncle! You are bad!”
Cai Wentao: “Work hard! Otherwise, I won’t give you food later.”
Mu Nan looked at them: “Are you off work?”
Daniel found an open space and sat down: “Today is a half-day rest.”
Although they are taking refuge, they won’t be able to stay here for long, but they will still take a break when it’s time to rest. They are humans and not machines. If they don’t rest, their nerves will always be tense, and they will be even more tired.
Song Jia said to Daniel: “Then you can eat with us here later.”
Daniel came here to eat with them, so he simply took out a can from his pocket.
There are still canned food for sale outside, but there are always some timing issues on their side, whether it is agriculture or animal husbandry, there will be a little disaster when the harvest is approaching, whether it is snowstorm or flood, or this sandstorm , so except for some canned food that was hoarded by others before the end of the world, the dated fresh ones are basically transported from other provinces and cities.
The current canned food is considered to be the lowest transportation cost, but the longest shelf life, but even so expensive, many people can’t afford it. A batch will be released online every month, and you can buy it quickly. In addition, some Units with good treatment will use this as a welfare payment.
Anyway, their yard has never been robbed before. Qin Huai said that he can make a plug-in device and use it to rob, but seeing Jian Chu and Song Jia, they are not very obsessed with canned food. If they can grab it, they will grab it. Mu Nan didn’t want to bother, anyway, they didn’t lack meat, let alone canned food.
Now what Daniel took out is probably the welfare issued by their unit.
Daniel handed the canned food to Mu Nan: “Here, add another meal, I’m not very good at cooking by myself, just come here for a meal.”
Daniel is not very good at cooking, all he can do is some sick meals and various tonic soups. At the beginning, his daughter-in-law was unable to eat a lot of things in the late stage of her illness, and it was difficult to digest them, so he could only learn to mash all kinds of things and feed him a normal meal, which would be too embarrassing for him.
Fortunately, there is a cafeteria where he works now. Even when he is resting, he can go to the cafeteria to buy food, and he doesn’t have to start the fire himself. But sometimes, like now, if he got some good things and wants to add a meal, he just It’s too much a test of his cooking skills. As for the family living above him, although his parents are still alive, he is an orphan and a widow. touch.
Fortunately, he has friends who know Qin Huai and their compound. He thought that he almost sold the old house at the beginning. It was his wife who insisted on staying and said that he would have a way out. If he sold it, he might not I know Qin Huai and the others. In today’s society, it is too difficult to make some reliable friends. Daniel thinks that it must be his wife who is protecting him and guarding him.
The canned food is canned pork luncheon meat, a can is as big as a palm, only 150 grams, Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai, Qin Huai said: “Then let’s make pancakes, Nan Nan, take out the kimchi.”
Mu Nan went to look through the bag. Everyone knew that their family had grown Chinese cabbage, and they also knew that they made a jar of kimchi after harvesting the Chinese cabbage, so it’s not surprising to take it out now.
Wu Zheng said, “Kimchi luncheon patties, I’ll make them.”
Qinhuai and the others produced oil, salt, seasoning and kimchi, and their family produced the flour. Jian Chu’s family used gas today, and each of the three families paid for it, which is fair.
Cai Wentao on the side said: “Take us with you, I still have potatoes and mushrooms at home.”
Wu Zheng nodded simply: “Then make two kinds, plus a potato pancake.”
In the past, eating this kind of cake was easy to get greasy, and it was all heavy oil, but now what people lack is oil and water, especially some heavy seasonings, let alone eating for two days, even half a month without getting greasy , Some eating is already a very happy thing, and there is no right to be bored.
But Mu Nan is really a little tired. It may be that he drank less water in the past two days, or he did not eat fruit. Anyway, now that his first day of constipation has been fulfilled, it is… quite embarrassing.
Seeing Mu Nan’s pale face, Qin Huai smiled and whispered, “Let’s hide and drink some yogurt later.”
Mu Nan hummed twice, as a response.
Cai Wentao, who was next to him, began to talk about some news he heard from his colleagues upstairs in the past two days: “It is said that there will be a strong storm in the future. After this wave has passed, the sandstorm will be over, but the yellow sand and dust all over the sky I don’t know when it will disperse, but without the strong wind, we can go back, but we still have to close the doors and windows, otherwise there will be no way to live in the house.”
Mu Nan sighed: “There is still a while, how long will we stay?”
Cai Wentao shook his head: “I don’t know the exact time. Anyway, this time is probably only a day or two. We made a good deal, and honestly followed the arrangement above and came in as soon as possible. Those who expect to hide at home will be fine.” Yes, I still don’t know how bad it is.”
Song Jia was puzzled and said, “What do you mean? Is there anyone else who hasn’t come in yet?”
Cai Wentao nodded: “Yes, there was a strong storm yesterday. Didn’t we hear the rumbling upstairs? Before that, the gatekeeper said that someone was beating at the door for help, but the strong storm came immediately. Now the subway station The door is an electronic strong lock. Once the evacuation mode is turned on, at least three commands are required to open the door. Similarly, the evacuation mode must be turned on to resist the wind outside. Anyway, there is no way to complete the entire opening and closing of the door within one minute. Actions.”
Mu Nan couldn’t help leaning towards Qin Huai, and asked, “How are the people outside?”
Daniel shook his head: “I don’t know. Anyway, no one knocked on the door today. If someone knocked on the door, the door can be opened today, because the wind outside today is not strong, so it is no problem to open the door once in a few minutes, but With the strong wind yesterday, if there are still people outside, it may be difficult to survive, they said that the sandstorm is a tornado.”
Mu Nan whispered to Qin Huai: “Fortunately, we are obedient, and we will listen to whatever is arranged by the higher authorities. If you stay at home and don’t want to go out on your own initiative, you may be worried right now.”
Song Jiadu was a little speechless: “I don’t really understand what these people are trying to do. What’s wrong with the evacuation? It’s like the government is trying to harm them.”
Jian Chu smiled: “What else can I map, isn’t it just that the cameras can’t capture the yellow sand all over the sky, and all the staff evacuated from the empty city in the residential area, just search for a few houses and make a fortune.”
Cai Wentao shook his head: “It’s a pity that there is no life, those who did not follow the evacuation, I don’t know how many people will die. They could have survived this sandstorm safely, but some people want to die.”
The second strong wind came during the day. Although they were on the second basement floor, they couldn’t hear the movements above very clearly. In addition, during the day when most people were sleeping, many people didn’t even react.
Because Qin Huai and the others slept next to the platform of the subway track, they would be able to spot the first sound of wind in the subway track.
Mu Nan was still sleeping, because he was nestled in Qin Huai’s arms, surrounded by people he knew, so he was not on guard at all, the wind did not wake him up, but Qin Huai opened his eyes immediately.
The second one to wake up was Jian Chu. Jian Chu was sleeping next to Mu Nan, but Jian Chu probably wasn’t asleep, so when he heard the wind, he sat up and checked. Seeing that Qin Huai had woken up, he looked Looking at the tunnel, he said in a low voice, “Is the wind coming?”
Qin Huai nodded. It should be the wind. Only when there is a strong wind blowing from above will there be some movement in the tunnel.
Although this subway station looks airtight, it is not airtight. Either the entire gate is closed, or it is a completely airtight space. The sewer pipes are all vents, so if there is a strong wind above, you can feel it below.
After about an hour or two, the wind outside seemed to be at its strongest, and the wind in the tunnel became louder and louder, and even some things placed on the ground were blown over.
With such a big commotion, Mu Nan naturally woke up. This was not the first time there was a commotion, so they were considered experienced. They sat obediently in their seats and waited for the strong wind to pass.
Mu Nan: “This wave of strong wind has passed, will we be able to go home?”
Qin Huai: “It should be. It may take another two days to observe the situation outside, but generally speaking, this storm should have passed.”
Mu Nan hugged Qin Huai tightly, and leaned against him without getting too hot: “I don’t know what happened to our house, whether the house is still there or not.”
Qin Huai smiled and said, “The house is definitely still there, but I don’t know if the roof is still there.”
Hearing this, Mu Nan sighed again.
Qin Huai hugged him up and gently rubbed his stomach with one hand: “Drinking yogurt yesterday didn’t help?”
Mu Nan buried her face on Qin Huai’s shoulder and rubbed it: “Probably because my thoughts are too strong.”
Resisting the matter of going to the bathroom in his heart, his body reacted honestly. He also drank yogurt and watermelon, but it was useless. Mu Nan suspected that Qin Huai might feed him for half a month when he went back. Grass to regulate the stomach.
And Jian Chu just happened to be the opposite of him. I guess he ate relatively light food at home, and because of the serious damage to his vitality last time, anyway, if he was a little greasy, he would definitely have diarrhea. Song Jia teased him about the reason why he was looking for the toilet when he was on duty, and Jian Chu had already made two trips to the toilet just after waking up.
Mu Nan gave him two thumbs up: “A true warrior.”
Jian Chu rolled her eyes: “You think I think so, this is simply torture inside and out.”
Jian Chu was tired and lay down. Yu Zibai was cooking noodles. The noodles were made by Aunt Yin. They didn’t activate this skill. The key is that Mu Nan doesn’t like noodles, so he has done little research on noodles.
While they were making breakfast here, the chatty old man not far away who asked them if they wanted to sell chicken was spitting with a group of people again, as if the burnt person was infected by the burn, anyway, he had a high fever. There is no infection medicine specifically for burns, people are gone.
Then the higher authorities sentenced the mentally abnormal young man to take full responsibility, but suddenly he was asked to pay a large amount of compensation and he had no money. In addition, the dead young man had to support his parents, so the perpetrator’s family was finally sentenced. Every month, 30 yuan of compensation will be directly transferred from their account to the account of the family members of the deceased until all the compensation money has been repaid.
There is also the family of the pregnant woman, but the child was saved, but the family of the pregnant woman suffered this unreasonable disaster. Who knows if there will be any problems with the child after such a push, anyway, they are clamoring for compensation, but this compensation There are not many, and the monthly nutrition fee of 10 yuan will be compensated until the child is born.
That couple is not young anymore. Although they had children earlier, their son was in his thirties, and they were only in their early fifties, but after years of hard work, they look like seventeen Ten years old, and now because of his mentally disturbed son, he has so much debt, and he doesn’t know how the family will survive in the future.
The talkative uncle was still there and said: “It’s better to take my son and die together. There will be no living heads in these days.”
Although that is the case, death also requires courage. Some people don’t have the guts to ask for death even if they are in despair.
Originally, according to the prediction above, they would have to take refuge below for at least seven days, but the sandstorm was relatively fast, and there were only two waves of super strong winds passing through. Take refuge below.
The gate was opened above, and a part of the police force was dispatched to check the situation outside. On the fifth day, the radio notified people to pack up their things and prepare to leave in an orderly manner according to the area.
When they came, their car was quite heavy, because they put two buckets of water in. When they left, the water was consumed, and there was only an empty bucket left. The things in the backpack were almost eaten, and the watermelon and Chinese cabbage were also consumed in the past few days. It’s over, let’s go easily.
Everyone thought that the sandstorm had passed, and it was not cloudless outside, but at least the sun had returned, but they didn’t expect that when they lined up to go out, what they saw was still a sky full of yellow dust with zero visibility. It was the same as when they came, except for the mess caused by the strong wind, there was not much change.
They hid below, but they didn’t really feel much. At most, they heard a few rumbles. When they came up again, they realized how terrible the sandstorm was, but because the viewing distance was too short, they couldn’t see clearly. Due to the situation at hand, he could only **** and walk in the direction of his own home.
The neighborhood committee turned on the loudspeaker again, and asked people to go back to check the situation. If the house was seriously damaged and uninhabitable, they would register with the neighborhood committee. If they could live in, they would stay at home. There will be no problem if the doors and windows are closed indoors.
They had heard these words on the radio several times when they were in the subway, eager to know how their house was doing, so Qin Huai and the others walked directly in the direction of their home.
When I walked into the community, I saw debris all over the floor, glass, walls, and even some curtains or bed sheets and quilts that might have been rolled out of the house, and my heart suddenly became cold.
But because they were exposed to the outside, it was even difficult to breathe, let alone speak, so they could only walk into the house with their heads depressed, praying in their hearts that their house would not be damaged too badly.
When they finally walked outside the courtyard wall of their house, everyone didn’t know whether to feel sad or happy.
The roof is gone, the courtyard wall has collapsed, standing downstairs, you can even see half of the exposed wall, the doors and windows are broken and a mess, a lot of things in the house were blown out by the wind, although the door is still there, but The balconies on the second and third floors are messy and miserable.
The good news is that their house is still there and has not been uprooted. In addition, it is probably because the top floor has been added a layer, so it is the added layer that is damaged. If the condition of the house is not too bad, Then they can just change the window, but because they haven’t entered yet, they don’t know what the ruins are inside.
Standing next to Mu Nan, Jian Chu said in a low voice, “Should we replace the windows with iron doors this time?”
There is no need to cover it with an iron door, and it is not afraid of being broken again. Just these few doors and windows, how many times have they been replaced over the years.
Mu Nan turned his head and glanced at him: “Good idea, you can try it.” He didn’t want to change the doors and windows anymore, although there is a factory for glass now, but this is a disaster, and he doesn’t know where he will be in line when he places an order for replacement time to go.
