Apocalyptic natural disaster, stock up with billions of supplies to survive

Chapter 229 The deputy base director comes to visit

The original height of the villa's wall was 1.5 meters.

The thickness is an ordinary 12 wall.

The 12-wall is 12 centimeters thick, which does not have much defensive effect on Han Ying and others.

Lu Yuan plans to make the wall four times thicker. Counting the cement slurry, the thickness should reach about 4 centimeters.

The height is directly increased to 4 meters.

In this case, it can barely defend against some thoughtful people.

Moreover, Lu Yuan thought too much. He was worried that someone would not be able to destroy the wall and would drive their ideas to the ground.

He also bought 5 tons of steel bars and planned to cut the steel bars into lengths of about 1 meters.

The steel bars were then nailed into the ground to prevent anyone from digging in.

The two of them were very busy, Han Ying was working with cement mortar and bricks, and Lu Yuan was building the wall.

When they finished building another row, an uninvited guest came to their door.

"Can you still build walls?"

Gu Yuanping stood not far from the wall and saw Lu Yuan laying bricks on the wooden frame, while Han Ying was mixing cement beside him.

Hearing the sound, the two stopped what they were doing and looked at the person.

Gu Yuanping was looking at them with a smile.

"Deputy base commander? Why are you here?"

Lu Yuan stood up from the shelf and looked at Gu Yuanpingdao outside.

"It's okay, I came to see you."

Naturally, Gu Yuanping couldn't be fine, he had a lot on his plate.

But today he got the news that the entire farm had been wiped out and all the crops had suffered from insect damage.

Professor Li told him that the cactus planted by Lu Yuan and Han Ying was fine, so Gu Yuanping hurriedly came over to see the cactus.

"We are building a wall. If you have anything to say, just tell us."

Han Ying is not stupid. Will the deputy base commander come to see them for no reason?

"Actually, I wanted to come and see the cacti. Have you planted any more in the past few days?"

What Gu Yuanping is most concerned about is this. They have an extra villa and have space. It would be better to plant more cacti.

"There are more varieties, but there are not enough pots. I plan to go to the night market outside tomorrow to see if there are any flower pots for sale."

Lu Yuan knelt down and continued to lay bricks, talking while doing so.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Gu Yuanping immediately became anxious, bypassed the wall and walked in:

"Why are you waiting for tomorrow? I'll have the flowerpots delivered to you right away. It will be given to you for free. Can you arrange to plant it as soon as possible?"

If you plant one day later, you will be able to harvest one day later, and there will be one day less cactus to eat at the base.

"Cacti grow big and have well-developed root systems. Ordinary flower pots are not suitable. They need to be big."

There are actually many flower pots in the space, and he has already cut the cactus.

And they are all alive, but he wants them to grow in the space for a few more days.

"No problem, isn't it just a big flowerpot? I'll let someone find it!"

Most of the flower pots in the base have been taken away by Professor Li, but he can still send people to collect them at the night market outside.

In addition to food, the night market outside has no shortage of these things.

One hundred points can buy a lot of flower pots.

After Gu Yuanping finished speaking, he made a phone call and asked someone to go outside to collect the flowerpots, no matter how big or small.

The big one can be used to grow cactus for Lu Yuan and the others, and the small one can be given to Professor Li.

"By the way, do you have any tips for planting? I don't want to know your secrets."

"It's just that the farm has been completely wiped out. There are pests everywhere. They are all in the soil and cannot be caught at all."

Gu Yuanping hesitated for a moment before asking.

"There is no secret, but one thing is very important. Now that the insect infestation is so serious, I guess there will be insect eggs in the water, so I always use cold water."

Of course, Lu Yuan didn't pour cold water, he poured water that Han Ying had stocked before.

But it is a fact that the water in the base now contains insect eggs.

"Cold water? This..."

The whole farm is so big and there are so many crops. If we use cold boiled water, the cost will be...

But if not, there will be no harvest in the end, which will be even more miserable.

"I understand. I'll have someone bring the flowerpot over in a moment. Thank you!"

Gu Yuanping didn't want to see the cactus anymore. He wanted to go to the farm quickly.

"Will pouring cold boiling water help?"

Han Ying asked after Gu Yuanping left.

"I guess it should be of some use, but the cost is too high. I'm afraid the prices in shopping malls will rise to what extent in the future."

Prices will definitely rise, but as long as they are still available, there is nothing that can be done about the rise.

Sure enough, starting from this day, the prices of all the food that can be eaten in the mall have increased again.

The most intuitive thing is that rice has increased from 2 points per pound a few days ago to 3 points per pound now.

There are no fresh vegetables for sale anymore, except for cacti.

However, Han Ying and Lu Yuan had discussed it and they did not plan to increase the price.

It will still be sold to the shopping mall at the price originally agreed with Jiang Chengye.

They didn't increase the price, so the mall didn't increase the price either.

It is still sold for 20 points per pound.

It's just that it used to be half a catty, but now it's cut into one or two portions.

2 points per serving.

Still, long lines form outside the mall every day before the cactus is put on the shelves.

Once it was put on the shelves, it sold out within ten minutes.

And there are still many people who can’t buy it later.

But these are all things for later. Now Han Ying and the others are still building walls.

At around three o'clock, everyone at work got off work.

Lei Minghu and the others didn't even return home, so they rushed over quickly.

It would not be good to let everyone build a wall when they are hungry, so Han Ying prepared some rice balls first.

Each person ate several rice balls before starting to work.

In addition to Lei Minghu and the other five, there is also Lin Xiaoli.

Han Ying was not so stingy and gave Lin Xiaoli two rice balls.

"Me, I have a small appetite, just take one."

There are no people in the last days who have small appetites. Lin Xiaoli was just afraid that she would eat too much and Han Ying would feel disadvantaged, so she would not ask her to work in the future.

She really didn't expect to have food to eat when she came to work, so she could save a meal.

"Take it. If you can't finish it, go back and heat it up before eating."

How could Han Ying not see what Lin Xiaoli was thinking, it was just a rice ball.

After taking the rice ball, Lin Xiaoli turned her back to eat, shedding tears while eating.

As long as she works diligently, Han Ying will naturally not feel sorry for this rice ball.

If you don't work hard, you won't be here tomorrow.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaoli moved quite quickly.

Lu Yuan, Lei Minghu, Liu Hefeng and the Erhua brothers built the wall.

The job of making cement was taken away by Qin Qinghai.

He had no experience, and Han Ying passed on the few experiences she had to him.

As for herself, she could only run errands, carry cement mortar for the five of them who were building the wall, and help Qin Qinghai by the way.

Lin Xiaoli moves bricks.

The speed was quite fast. She carried the bricks for the five of them to build by herself.

He was also very discerning. When he had enough bricks, he would go over and help Qin Qinghai shovel sand and carry water.

Everyone was working very hard, and Han Ying poured water for them in her spare time.

Because the weather was too hot, everyone sweated a lot, so Han Ying gave them honey water for a while and light salt water for a while.
