MTL - Natural Disaster Apocalypse-Chapter 177
The subway station on their side should accommodate people from at least three districts. The entire subway station has two floors. The upper floor is the security inspection channel, and the lower floor is the waiting hall. The first batch of people who came down were taken directly to the second floor The waiting hall, the entire waiting hall is full of people.
When Jianchu and the others settled down the rabbit, chicken and dog, they saw people lying on both sides of the stairs. Fortunately, the ventilation system of this subway station is very good. Otherwise, if there are so many people, if the air does not circulate, the It is suffocation.
Although the few of them chose a corner, the target was still obvious, because besides dogs, there were chickens and rabbits.
The dog is very obedient, let An Jing lie quietly in the corner, the rabbit is also very obedient, neither noisy nor barking, the chicken is very annoying, the hen is okay, the rooster keeps clucking, clucking Da, although it is not obvious because many people have not settled down yet, and even fight for a first-come-first-served place, it is not obvious, but it still attracts the attention of the people around.
Jian Chu and Song Jia looked at the chickens in the cage with a headache: "I feel that the goal is so big, and I can still raise chickens. Who should we rob if we don't rob the rich and help the poor?"
Seeing their headaches, Mu Nan suddenly felt that his elder brother really had the foresight to bring rabbits and chickens. If he brought them, then they would be more conspicuous. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, they must live together They all belong to one family, and this family has so much property, it would be enough to provoke the envy of anyone who hates the rich.
The rabbit and the chicken belt are also brought, so they can’t be killed in public, that’s the only way to go, Jian Chu didn’t want to toss anymore, after shaking off the dust and sand on his body, he also sat on the mat, and then couldn’t hold back. Mu Nan took a sniff: "Cumin?"
Mu Nan clicked his tongue: "Your nose is really stronger than Niuniu, are you a dog?"
Jian Chu nodded her nose: "Wrong, I am a rat, a treasure hunting rat, so my nose is very good."
Mu Nan: "I forgot, you are the same age as my brother, and my brother is also a rat, but a big rat!"
Qin Huai was born in the Year of the Rat, because of this zodiac sign, and when he was a child, his father was unknown and his mother died early. People like the old lady of the Zhang family would say that Qin Huai's life was not good. This zodiac sign is very fierce. It will bring disaster, life will be hard to beat father and mother and so on.
When he was a child, Mu Nan would hear this kind of words from some people. Although he didn't quite understand what it meant at that time, he could roughly understand that others disliked his brother's zodiac sign, so people asked Qin Huai's age zodiac sign. Sometimes, he would say that Qin Huai is a tiger, and he wants to give up his zodiac sign to Qin Huai.
When he gets older, he will know that there is nothing wrong with the zodiac sign. The ones who are wrong are those adults with colored glasses and broken mouths. He will never say that he will give up his tiger zodiac to Qin Huai, and because of Qin Huai, he I especially like some mouse patterns, of course the cartoon ones. In real life, those mice with long tails and no hair, even with the blessing of Qin Huai's filter, he still can't fall in love with them.
Jian Chu is a rat-tailed person who was only born in December, so even though she is the same age as Qin Huai, she is actually almost one year younger, so even though they are the same age, there still seems to be a slight age difference.
Song Jia didn't want to bother anymore, so he asked his brother to carry the cage to find a place to settle himself, and then lay down side by side with Jian Chu and the others: "I'm so tired, why can't I hide in the house with the doors and windows closed, and we have to gather together, What is the meaning of this gathering together, and I always feel that the underground is so dangerous, and it feels like it will collapse at any time."
Jian Chu, who was lying next to Song Jia, slapped Song Jia on the thigh: "You're talking nonsense, children's words are outrageous, hurry up and pee."
Song Jia hurriedly followed suit a few times.
Jian Chu said: "Maybe the strength of this wind has reached the level of a typhoon. If it reaches the level of a strong typhoon, it is safer to hide underground. Even if the doors and windows are closed in the house, some people will be blown into the sky by the strong wind." possible."
Although that is what they said, but they have not even experienced typhoons, they really can't imagine how strong the wind is, and they need to be evacuated. Had the flood poured down, they probably wouldn't have said they would leave the house to take refuge.
Mu Nan used to sleep on his clothes, but the clothes were too thin, and the thickness was only a little thick when rolled up. Seeing Qin Huai sitting down against the wall, he simply pillowed on his lap, and then put the news that had just been brushed out. Pass it to him: "Isn't it scary?"
The news was only updated two minutes ago, and the pictures inside were taken of the scene outside. The overwhelming yellow sand rolled in from the sky, just like the sandstorm movies they had seen before, even more terrifying than the scenes shot in the movies .
There is almost no visible range outside, and the sky is full of yellow sand. Those who don't know it think they are in the desert.
Mu Nan has never seen a sandstorm like this with his own eyes, and he doesn't know what will happen outside when this gust of sandstorm passes, but looking at the doomsday-like scene in the photo, he still asks a little worried: "When the wind outside stops , Is the place where we live already buried in a piece of yellow sand?"
Qin Huai patted him lightly on the forehead: "No way, if we really want to reach that level, then we won't be organized to hide, otherwise the yellow sand will cover us and we will be trapped."
Mu Nan thought about it. If it was really the yellow sand covering the entire residential area, the government should have received the news when the yellow sand came. The sandstorm must have come all the way from north to south.
"I don't know where all these yellow sands come from. It can't be blown from the north."
Qin Huai said: "In the past few years, the vegetation has been continuously reduced, water and soil have been lost, and the wind has gradually formed such a sandstorm. It may not necessarily be blown from the area where sandstorms often occurred in the past."
Mu Nan couldn't help but sighed: "This sandstorm is full of dust, isn't it fine if we lock ourselves up in the house, and we have to come out together to take refuge."
Qin Huai gently rubbed his hair: "The power of a sandstorm is no less than that of a flood. If the wind is too strong, it will be very destructive. A short building like ours may even be blown over the roof. If it was a high-rise building before, You can even visibly feel the shaking of the house in the house, so if the wind is really that strong, unless you hide in the basement, it's not safe even in the house."
"If there is any damage in the house, the doors and windows are broken, and people are exposed, such a big sandstorm can easily suffocate, not to mention some items mixed in the wind, even if it is a piece of paper, it will be fatal if it is hit by a strong wind .”
It's a pity that it's not easy to dig a basement in this kind of house, otherwise they would have dug a cellar long ago just to store things, so they don't need to go out with the crowd to take refuge, just hide in the basement.
Mu Nan lay on Qin Huai's body and yawned. She woke up early in the morning and was tired after running all the way, but because she was outside, she couldn't fall asleep all of a sudden, so she could only yawn and continue. A yawning snort.
Mu Nan: "I don't know what's going on with Xu Ming. They don't want to guard those animals and carry them on the farm, do they?"
Qin Huai said: "Maybe, no matter what, the higher-ups will definitely arrange it properly."
They were quiet for a while when they saw many people jumping to the subway tracks.
Some people don’t want to be crowded with others. Now water is restricted, the weather is hot, people sweat easily, some people have a strong smell, and the smell is even worse if they don’t take a bath for a long time, so it’s really terrible to be too close. So these people simply jumped under the train tracks to find a flat place. Anyway, it is impossible for the subway to come over now, so there is no need to worry about danger.
As a result, after a group of people went down, they climbed up again after a while. The bottom is full of stones and track sills, and there is no place for people to lie flat. If there is a thicker mat, it is barely okay, and there is no mat. Sleeping directly, killing a person, is as uncomfortable as sleeping on a fingerboard.
Just when a group of people were still looking for a place where they could settle comfortably, some people who had already been resettled really got the attention of chickens.
Rabbits are very quiet, they will eat by themselves when they are given some grass, or they will be in a daze without moving. As long as the rabbit cage is covered and some clothes are piled up, others will not be able to see it. Come on.
Some people saw that they had chickens in their hands, and some of them with good conditions came over to ask the price directly. Song Jia directly shook his head and refused: "I can't sell it, just this male and one female are still waiting to sell the chickens for money. How can I sell them?" Lose."
The man looked at their cages: "Aren't there several?"
Song Jia: "It's not my family's, but theirs. You can directly ask them if they sell it."
"Aren't you together?"
Song Jia originally wanted to say that they are not a family, so seeing how many chickens there are, but the family may only have a pair of chickens, and they are all for saving seeds and raising them to make money in the future, so it is impossible to sell them. It's too good to chat with them, so I just sat next to them and chatted with them.
Mu Nan didn't have that much experience in awkward chats with strangers, so he put on his earphones and turned over, buried his face in Qin Huai's stomach and closed his eyes to rest.
Song Jia looked at Jian Chu, and asked for help with his eyes. This person is fine, he can't drive away the nice chatter, he can't drive it away with sarcasm, there is no need to offend people for no reason, so I hope the social master Jane Chu came to rescue him.
As a result, Jian Chu leaned on the cushion and looked at him with a smile, without any intention of helping.
Just when Wu Zheng couldn't stand it any longer, and was about to call his silly brother back to end the awkward chat, a child called Uncle Song and ran over, successfully rescuing Song Jia from the awkward chat.
Xiaozhu threw herself on Song Jia, called Uncle Song, and then asked, "Where is Niuniu?"
Niu Niu, who was stuffed in the corner and not allowed to move around, raised her head to look over, Xiaozhu's eyes lit up, she immediately let go of Uncle Song, and rushed towards Niu Niu.
Song Jia looked at Xiao Zhu and clicked his tongue lightly: "Uncle is a passerby, Niuniu is true love."
The people from the Cai family behind squeezed over with big and small bags in disgrace. When they reached the open space, they sat down on their buttocks, and then pulled away the scarves and clothes that could pile up a pile of dust with just a few shakes, panting.
Because the Cai family is separated from them by a building, it is not convenient to gather together to go to the small square, but they have communicated in the group before going out, so they should come to the small square together at about the same time.
At that time, Mu Nan looked behind, also wanting to see if the people from the Cai family were behind, but unfortunately the range of vision was too small to see anything clearly, he also wondered if the people from the Cai family would be in front, but in the end They're only here now.
Originally, the place they chose was going to be occupied by someone, but because they couldn't find Cai's house, and they didn't know if the Self-Defense Forces had a special place to rest or they just found a place to rest just like them, so they wanted to give it to them. Daniel left a vacant seat, and whenever someone was about to come, they said there was someone here, and they put some things to occupy the open space.
Unexpectedly, the Cai family came later, and this happened to be for the people of the Cai family. There were people they knew outside, and they lived in the innermost, next to the empty subway tracks. The sense of security was overwhelming.
Uncle Cai sat down, took a water bottle and drank a couple of sips of water, then went to shake the sand in his hair, and said: "When we came over, there was no one in the small square, but the neighborhood committee kept playing the loudspeaker to let people The residents in the back went to the subway station by themselves, and we found it by ourselves. It was already full of people, so we wanted to find you. Of course, it would be better to live together. I saw you right away."
Qin Huai said: "Let's settle down first. If Cai Wentao and Daniel come over later, we should be able to sleep if we squeeze together."
The members of the Cai family were covered in dust, and soon they covered the ground with dust. Aunt Yin couldn't stand it, and asked them to go directly under the subway tracks one by one, shake off their bodies, and then come up.
Another piece of cloth was pulled, and the gravel and debris brought in from the ground were cleaned. Naturally, there were no cushions. I thought it was so hot, so I just lay on the ground, so I only brought some small blankets to cover it. It can be cushioned and covered.
It’s okay for adults to lie on the ground, children should not be too greedy for cold, anyway, just a child, squeezed between Song Jia and Jian Chu, can sleep well, so only Xiao Zhu got the preferential treatment of sleeping mat, he didn’t dislike the heat Sleeping with Niu Niu.
Song Jia laughed and said, "Niu Niu hasn't showered for half a month, don't you think it smells bad?"
Xiao Zhu put his arms around Niu Niu's neck and rubbed against it: "Niu Niu doesn't smell bad, Niu Niu smells better than many people."
This is true. Dogs that haven’t bathed for half a month before, especially large dogs, have a strong dog smell, but now, dogs that haven’t bathed for half a month smell better than people who haven’t bathed for three days. At least That dog scent doesn't smell suffocating.
Soon the Cai family occupied the last open space below.
Mu Nan turned over, facing the outside, watching the people from the Cai family, under the command of Aunt Yin, first cleaned up the ground, and then arranged a place to sleep. The girls quickly chatted together. It is estimated that Cai Wentao also notified the family in advance and asked the family to prepare their things for evacuation, so the Cai family's things are quite complete, and they took out all the pots and pans in a short time.
Guo Hui, Uncle Guo even ran to the track to have a look, and said, "If you cook something to eat, you can go below to avoid people and cook it. We brought some mushrooms."
This batch of mushrooms was supposed to be harvested in the next two days, and after they were collected, Cai Wentao would find a way to sell them privately. He is now working in the Self-Defense Forces, and he knows more people and contacts than before. Well, they just came to Kangyun not long ago, and they are not familiar with the place where they live, so apart from listing it online, they can only ask Qin Huai and the others to see if there is any private channel to sell it.
After all, online listings will still expose some of your information, which is somewhat unsafe.
As a result, before the mushrooms were harvested, there was a sandstorm. If you were stuck at home, it didn’t matter. If no one cares, the mushrooms will dry up and die in two days, so I can only rush to pick some and bring them out.
Uncle Cai also came out with an induction cooker on his back. They have no fuel. If they can’t find a place to use electricity, then the mushrooms will probably have to find a way to sell. There are so many people here, and they can sell one or two for a dollar. Sell it.
Qinhuai and the others prepared a lot of portable fuel, which was consumed outside a few times, not even 1% of the stock was consumed, but they couldn’t come out every time, they could bring fuel every time, after all, when they came from the city center, That's all there is to carry with you.
Qin Huai was just on guard against such emergencies, so after the previous flood, he told Jian Chu and Song Jia that a friend had a way to get a batch of this kind of portable fuel, and asked them if they wanted it. Let's buy some spares together.
There are such emergency supplies for sale, and it is necessary to prepare a little for selling iron. At that time, they bought at least one box for the whole yard. One box was twelve cans, and one can could be used for at least three or four days.
Unexpectedly, not long after that, he came out to take refuge again, and the fuel he bought at the beginning came in handy.
Seeing that they all had fuel, Uncle Cai said, "Let's exchange it with you for mushrooms."
That's easy to say, Song Jia agreed with one bite, even if they didn't want to change, they would not refuse if they wanted to eat together.
Qin Huai glanced at their bags of mushrooms, and said, "You'd better sell some of them and find Cai Wentao or Daniel later to see if he knows the person in charge here. If he does, ask someone to sell it for you. Just save some to eat."
This big bag weighs about 20 catties at least. Mushrooms are not very heavy things, and the amount of 20 catties is not a small amount. I can keep them all for myself. Although it can be used up, but such a batch is planted There is no way to get the money back.
And mushrooms, at least for the time being, are the only ones in this residential area. Chickens, duck eggs, etc., can occasionally get a little bit if there are some channel conditions, so instead of consuming all of them, it is better to disperse some of them, so that at least the eyes of everyone will not They'll all be on their side.
Uncle Cai thought about it and thought it was feasible, but he had to wait for his son to come over and ask first.
Soon Cai Wentao came to find him. The power and internet were not cut off outside, so he could still be reached by phone. Knowing that his family had successfully reunited with Qin Huai and the others, and found a good place to live, he was relieved.
Naturally, Daniel came down with Cai Wentao, but Daniel did not live with them, he lived with Xiao Baoer's family, and Xiao Baoer's family was the family living above him. For the sake of safety, and on the one hand, it was probably out of good intentions. Anyway, he was provided with a residence for him who had not yet applied for a house at the time.
Although he doesn't have much contact with the family upstairs, after all, he lives in the same building, and that little girl is very sensible and well-behaved. When she sees him, she will sweetly call Uncle Big Niu. Girl, it's really hard for him to resist the cute attack of this kind of human cub. It's inevitable that he will come into contact with him a lot. Sometimes he comes back late from overtime work, and the uncle upstairs will leave him a yard door.
So when he received the news of the evacuation before, in addition to notifying the people in the small courtyard, he also called the resident upstairs. Grabbed a good place, but gave him an extra space, so Daniel wanted to live in it. Although there are people on duty here, generally no one dares to make trouble, but in case there is a man blocking it, why? Be safe.
Hearing that Daniel couldn't say which way to go, Mu Nan asked: "Then what about your meal, do you want to come over and join us for dinner?"
Daniel shook his head: "No, the self-defense force will be responsible for the security of the entire area, and will provide food and drink every day. You don't need to cook your own food. You just set a daily patrol area. I'm in charge here. If you have anything to do, you can wait Tell me when I check in every day."
It's comfortable to have acquaintances on it. Everyone was relieved to hear that Daniel was in charge of patrolling here.
Hearing that the Cai family wanted to sell some of the mushrooms, Daniel and Cai Wentao went to find the person in charge here. They are only members of the Self-Defense Force, so their authority is not very large. If they want to sell something, they have to contact the person in charge here. greet.
Fortunately, the person in charge here is quite talkative. I asked about the price. For one hundred grams of mushrooms, there are almost two straw mushrooms in one hundred grams. If you tear them up a little, you can fry them in a small plate. If you don’t fry them , It is also very delicious to cook some soup.
Many people haven't eaten mushrooms for many years. When they heard that there were mushrooms for sale, they queued up to buy them without saying a word.
I'm afraid too many people will snap up it. After all, there are almost no expensive foods sold outside, let alone rare things like mushrooms, so I only ask in a small area. If they can't be sold here, change them. In one area, the entire subway station is so big, it is not afraid that it will not be sold out.
The ones sold by the Cai family are not expensive, and the ones that can be found in the subway station here are basically in the second and third districts, and they can still be bought for one or two yuan, so a bag of mushrooms is quickly sold out.
Aunt Yin put the small bag specially reserved for Qin Huai and the others on the side next to the wall, lest they sleep in the middle of the road, and when some things were out of control, they would be taken away. Qin Huai and the others live in it, wanting to Going in to steal things, at least you have to pass them, and there are dogs, it is safer than leaving them here.
After such a toss, the whole night passed, and it was already dawn, and the Cai family was still struggling, or just go to bed and forget about it, and eat after waking up.
Their family doesn't have much food in stock. There are a lot of people in the family, and there are only two or three people who make money. The key is that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a lot of food, so there is not much food in stock, and you can eat as little as possible.
But seeing Jian Chu and the others moving, those who took the pot took the pot, and those who made cakes with dough, Cai Wenwen couldn't hold back and said, "I'm going to bed soon, do you still want to make food?"
Jian Chu: "How can you sleep if you don't eat enough?"
Whether it's him and Yu Zibai, Qin Huai and Mu Nan, or even Song Jia and Wu Zheng, they seem to have never been hungry because of saving food. At most, they have limited choices, but they can always eat enough, so they subconsciously asked, Of course.
And Cai Wenwen suddenly felt that they didn't seem to be living in the same world. Now that there is such a shortage of food, the word "satisfaction" feels so far away.
