Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World

At 10:01, except for schools, hospitals, police stations, airport stations, major factories and other insurance companies, the lights of every household went out "swipe...swipe...".

Looking down from mid-air, the grand scene of thousands of lights in the past no longer exists.

The lights that were turned off on time also made the citizens no longer have extravagant expectations, and they just went about their business.

If there is solar energy, use solar energy; if you buy electricity, continue to use electricity; but most of them can only use flashlights or rechargeable lamps when looking at the sky-high electricity bills.

This move has also led to hot sales of solar equipment.

After all, buy a set of equipment and use it as much as you want. It is a one-time expenditure, and there is no need to purchase electricity in the future, so it is more appropriate after all.

Anyway, the strong sunshine every day is not used in vain.

……

In fact, the official does not care about the life and death of ordinary people. Although the introduction of the power restriction order made many citizens complain, another policy that followed gave the general public hope for survival.

On the fifth day after the power restriction order was issued, the official posted another announcement.

Nowadays, people are used to looking at official announcements every day. At first glance, everyone is not impressed when they see the recruitment, but the further they read, the more surprising they become.

The recruitment order stated that officials would organize personnel to build shelters. Healthy citizens aged between 16 and under 55, with no chronic diseases or infectious diseases, are recruited to participate in the construction.

Different remunerations are paid according to different types of work.

Electricians, base station maintenance workers, those with construction-related experience and other technical occupations, after passing the assessment, will receive food and drink and a cash salary of 200 yuan per day.

Citizens who have no skills but are in good health can sign up for ordinary jobs and receive food and drink every day, plus a cash salary of 50 yuan.

You can eat in the cafeteria. You can eat as much as you want, but you can't take it away. All wages are paid daily.

As soon as the recruitment order came out, everyone was excited. People flocked to the official website to inquire about specific recruitment matters.

The website was stuck until it crashed. After the official worked hard to fix it, they gave detailed explanations on the issues that were the most popular.

After seeing the recruitment order, Xiang Chi and Xu Ge were filled with thoughts. What they saw was not only the recruitment order, but also the deep meaning behind the official announcement of the recruitment order.

People who were stimulated by the recruitment order calmed down and discovered that a small recruitment order revealed such a huge amount of information!

The core question is, why do officials want to build shelters? Are the top management so unfavorable about the future situation? Where will the shelter be built? How many should be built? What are the requirements to enter the shelter?

Officials did not answer these questions except that the shelter would be open to all people when necessary. It only announced the employment standards and recruitment time for each type of work.

Xu Gehe Xiangchi had a vegetable greenhouse to take care of, so naturally he would not apply for the job, but Xu Tao was somewhat interested.

Although the team was disbanded, the cars were still there, and Xu Tao and Han Dongdong first stocked up on goods, then bought a house, and spent a lot of money on renovations, leaving little savings left.

Neither of them wanted to sit back and have nothing to do, and Xu Tao himself was a restless person.

Those who have been staying at home these past few months are almost growing hair. There was nothing else to do except go to the Chi family's greenhouse to help.

Besides, this recruitment is a good opportunity to make connections and find out information.

It's just that Han Dongdong is pregnant now, and Xu Tao is a little worried about her being at home alone.

After Xiang Chi learned about Xu Tao's concerns, he took over the job of taking care of Han Dongdong and asked Xu Tao to apply for the job with peace of mind.

Xu Tao felt relieved and went for the interview on the specified date.

There is no reason why the government would not accept employees like Xu Tao who bring their own resources.

Xu Tao provided the official with the right to use four semi-trailers free of charge. The official also promised that during the period of use, the official will be responsible for the oil consumption, repairs and maintenance of the vehicles.

Xu Tao's excellent driving ability is also a bonus. Whether it's a truck or a construction vehicle, he's handy with it all.

Xu Tao's move was all about making a mark in front of the relevant leaders and leaving a very high impression score.

As soon as the recruitment order came out, new vitality was injected into people's lifeless lives. Everyone felt that there was hope for this day again.

Basically, everyone who applied for the job found a suitable job.

After the construction started, there were far fewer cases of fights and thefts.

Xu Tao found out a lot of valuable news within a few days of going out to work.

The government plans to build three shelters to house citizens. Although the current situation does not look that bad, ordinary citizens can rely on themselves.

But relevant experts in the city have predicted difficult situations in the future.

According to expert calculations, if the temperature continues to rise, Dancheng's power system will collapse again, making it difficult to meet the city's people's electricity needs.

At that time, for the sake of the overall situation, in order to ensure the power demand of hospitals, factories and other important places, it is inevitable to cut off the power supply to some non-essential places.

Among them, most residents’ daily electricity consumption is included.

The only way is to reduce the area where electricity is used and build shelters.

But building a large shelter involved Shen Guang, and the leaders had a meeting to discuss the matter and they argued for two days.

Finally, the final conclusion was reached just as the higher-ups issued instructions.

After many considerations, officials decided to build one of the shelters at a subway station near Dancheng Industrial Park.

The subway station near the industrial park has not yet opened to traffic. The ventilation, water and electricity devices inside have been built long ago and only need slight modifications.

The remaining two are located in the air-raid shelter on Bicui Mountain in the east of the city and the Municipal Stadium in the south of the city.

Something worth mentioning is that the Xiang Chi family's community, Biliu Community, is at the foot of Bicui Mountain.

The word "Bi" in Biliu Community is taken from Bicui Mountain.

The air-raid shelter on Bicui Mountain is very large, left over from the early war era. It runs through the entire main peak of Bicui Mountain.

Although it is not abandoned, there is no dedicated person to maintain it regularly, and mountaineers can come and go at will.

Because there are no lights or the like in the cave, and there are many forks in the road, it is a good place for children to take risks.

Choosing the shelter here requires strengthening the main structure of the air-raid shelter and re-laying electrical and water pipes. The amount of work is not small.

As for the Municipal Gymnasium, the government took the initiative to house many people a long time ago.

There are migrant workers who are stranded in Dancheng, renters who cannot afford the high rent and are kicked out by their landlords, and poor families who come because they cannot afford the electricity bill and heard that this place accepts people.

In short, the Municipal Gymnasium can be called a refuge a long time ago.

Xu Tao told everything he found out.
