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

Xu Ge: "President Liao, to be honest, I do need something."

President Liao was a little curious after hearing this. Through this period of contact, President Liao knew that the Xu Ge family was well prepared and had a lot of solar energy, so they didn’t have to worry about the electricity at home.

Xu Ge himself owns three vegetable greenhouses and has no shortage of food and drink. Could it be that he needs some daily necessities or wants to store water?

Thinking of this, President Liao also asked.

President Liao: "You have those greenhouses, so you don't have to worry about food and drink. Do you need some daily necessities or do you want to store water? For water storage, the city has planned to drill deep wells in the near future..."

When Xu Ge heard President Liao ask this, he waved his hand.

Xu Ge: "President Liao, neither daily necessities nor water storage are what I want now. I just want to make a promise from you. If I need to evacuate to a shelter in the future, I hope you can promise me and give me some." An area with a better location. As you know, there are many elderly people in my family, and I want to make them as comfortable as possible."

President Liao was surprised for a moment when he heard Xu Ge's request. He looked at Xu Ge deeply, and he had to admire Xu Ge's mind from the bottom of his heart. I admire Xu Ge for thinking so far ahead.

President Liao: "Xiao Xu, you have a very long-term vision. This is..."

As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb and made a powerful gesture.

"I agree to this condition! If that day comes, I will definitely make arrangements for you. Even if I am transferred or gone, I will arrange someone to take care of you in advance. Don't worry!"

Seeing that President Liao agreed, Xu Ge felt relieved.

President Liao made a call, and soon several large trucks arrived to haul the pesticides.

Coincidentally, the leader of the team turned out to be Xu Tao!

Xu Tao got out of the car and said hello to President Liao, and smiled with big white teeth at Xu Ge and Xiang Chi.

President Liao was a little surprised when he saw this.

"Xiao Xu, do you know Xiao Xu?"

Xu Ge smiled and nodded,

"Yes, President Liao, Xu Tao and we are very good friends."

President Liao couldn't help but nodded.

President Liao: "Yes, yes, they say that people of the same species flock together and birds of a feather flock together. I believe this today. You are all quite good young people, and you are all great!"

After hearing President Liao's words, Xu Tao smiled and showed a few more big white teeth.

Xu Tao: "Hey, President Liao, I'm embarrassed by your praise!"

President Liao patted Xu Tao on the shoulder and smiled.

"You kid, come on, get down to business first, and we'll chat after you're done."

Xu Tao: "Okay!"

Xu Tao quickly agreed, greeted several other people and began to carry pesticides into the car.

Xu Ge also went to help.

After working hard all night, the fish belly white color was already appearing in the east, and then all the pesticides were loaded into the truck.

It was just after four o'clock in the morning, and the temperature was already over 30 degrees. After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Xu Ge closed the carriage door, patted Xu Tao's door, and told him that he could set off.

Xu Tao: "President Liao, let's go first. Please say hello to the Materials Department."

President Liao said that he had already made an agreement with the people in the Materials Department to let Xu Tao directly handle the storage.

Xu Tao waved his hand and drove away.

Xu Ge and Xiang Chi locked the warehouse door and drove President Liao to the Hexi Village greenhouse.

Xu Ge started talking on the way,

"President Liao, you said before that the city plans to dig deep water wells... Can you tell me more?"

President Liao: "It doesn't matter if I tell you in advance. Everyone will know it after a while anyway."

It turned out that because the water level gradually decreased, the reservoir could no longer support the water needs of all residents in Dancheng City.

The leaders had been prepared a long time ago. After a period of survey, rich groundwater was discovered about fifty meters underground in Dancheng City.

Based on the distribution of groundwater and the residential areas of urban residents, in the next few days, the government will drill hundreds of 60-meter deep wells in selected locations.

It is worth mentioning that Hexi Village is among the one hundred selected locations.

Xu Ge listened thoughtfully and tentatively spoke,

"President Liao, I hear what you want. The matter of drilling the well has been decided. Does that mean that the water will be cut off after a while?"

President Liao sighed and nodded silently.

Once the water is cut off, it will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions. The life of ordinary people is already very difficult now.

The temperature is so high now and the water is cut off. It’s really impossible to live this day. No one can say what will happen.

It is very likely that something uncontrollable will happen.

President Liao: "Since I've told you, I'll tell you everything. The water supply cutoff is inevitable. The water plant has long been unable to supply water to the city's residents. Now it's just barely supporting it."

"Next week at the latest, the entire city will be without water. At that time, the government will arrange mobile water stations to provide water. The current situation...sigh..."

President Liao sighed heavily, probably thinking of the contaminated vegetable seedlings and the heavy losses of grain caused by armyworms.

When Xu Ge heard this, he felt something was wrong and asked:

"Is the purchase of water at water stations also restricted?"

President Liao shook his head,

"No, the water at the water station is provided for free."

Xiang Chi was very surprised when he heard this.

Xiang Chi: "Free supply? I'm afraid there will be trouble..."

Now the economy is collapsing, society is shutting down, and money has lost its value. No matter how many zeros you have in your bank card, you can't exchange for a pound of rice or a bucket of water.

More and more people are choosing to take desperate risks in order to survive, actively or passively embarking on the path of breaking the law and discipline.

The arrival of high temperatures has torn off people's coat of civilization, and incidents of theft, robbery, and vandalism have continued.

Xu Ge's community has been robbed several times in succession. The property management has been dissolved long ago, and the gate of the community is useless.

Today's thieves don't steal anything else but food and water. If you are unlucky enough to meet someone who hates the rich, he will even smash your home to pieces.

A few days ago, a family in Xu Getong Community was very sad. Not only had their stored food been looted, but their home was also smashed up. That day half of the neighborhood could hear the shrill screams of the hostess.

People nowadays can lower their bottom line infinitely just for the sake of food and drink.

Some of those who risk their lives to beg will turn into robbery if their begging fails.

I met Xu Tao on his way home a few days ago. Fortunately, Xu Tao reacted quickly and drove away. Otherwise, if he lost something, he would be afraid of encountering someone ruthless and hurting someone.

Under this background, it is no wonder that Xiang Chi would ask this.

Free water, just these few words will make people crazy.

President Liao was silent for a moment and said firmly:

"No, it won't be chaotic. I can't say more. You will know when the time comes..."
