Han Ying and the others did not plan to go out, but the two families of 1207 and 1208 had to go out to collect water every day.

Since you have to go out to collect water every day, you can also go to the canteen to get food while collecting water.

Lin Ting's son and Lei Yuhang, both under 10 years old, can eat for free in the cafeteria.

But we don’t know when the plague will break out. If we can’t go out when it breaks out, we should try our best not to go out.

But the three of them had to go out.

So now they are in conflict.

Only then did I want to ask Han Ying and Lu Yuan for their opinions.

"How much water do you have now?"

Han Ying knew that the most critical issue now was water.

If there is no shortage of water at home, as long as they collect enough firewood, they can stay away from home because they will not be short of food.

"Actually, we are not that short of water. I still have nearly 1 ton of water that I have stored before, and Lei Ge and the others are about the same. Moreover, the materials we received from Villa 609 also contain a lot of mineral water. If you save a little, you can use it in two or three months. It’s definitely no problem.”

The general environment is like this, knowing that there will definitely be more water shortages in the future, so no one wants to give up the water they can receive for free.

"Since you are not short of water, my suggestion is to stock up on firewood, and you should use these two days to stock up enough for the next period of time. If you can't go out in a few days, try not to go out."

Han Ying and Lu Yuan had originally planned not to go out.

But if they wanted to stock up on firewood, they had sneaked out of the base several times before and knew where there were uncut trees, so they didn't have to go further to the countryside.

"Lei Minghu said the same thing. Okay, let's discuss it. While there are still a few hours before dawn, we can go out and get some."

In fact, before Lei Minghu and the others, the firewood they moved from Yuefu Jiangnan had not been used much.

And when we were rummaging through supplies yesterday, we also found a lot of firewood from the rubble.

That would be enough for a while, but they also knew the situation outside would only get worse.

By the time they run out of firewood, the plague will probably be at its worst.

So I still have to stock up on some now.

"Okay, we will go out with you later. It must be very chaotic outside now. If there are many people, people who want to make decisions will be wary."

Han Ying and the others have electric saws, which can cut wood faster.

After hanging up the walkie-talkie, Qin Qinghai went to find Lei Minghu and asked Wu Tingfang and the others to prepare. Then he went down to find Lin Ting.

He Xiu brought a small trailer and a bundle of ropes.

There was also a black canvas bag on the small trailer, which contained a crossbow, crossbow arrows, and two knives.

Qin Qinghai was carrying a bulging satchel with a nail gun and rope inside.

Lin Ting didn't have a trailer here, so she also brought a bundle of ropes.

But besides the rope, she also brought an axe, and no one asked her how she got it.

Lin Yang didn't want to stay at home, so he wanted to follow him out. He had a short knife on his waist, and he looked decent.

Seeing that Lin Yang was about to go out, Lei Yuhang didn't want to be left behind, so he also put on the protective clothing modified by his mother and walked out.

After being equipped, several people came to Han Ying's house.

Han Ying and Lu Yuan were already waiting in the courtyard.

They still carried a backpack each, and there were two trailers beside them.

Everyone saw a Tang Dao stuck diagonally between Lu Yuan's backpack and back.

Han Ying, on the other hand, directly held the crossbow in her hand.

Everyone knows that it is not peaceful outside and the equipment is very complete.

Everyone including Gouzi went out, leaving only Lei Minghu who injured his leg.

It has been several days since the earthquake, and there is a faint smell of rotting corpses inside the base, let alone outside.

"These are mint-flavored refreshing beads. Those that were not used during the poisonous fog have expired. If you don't mind, put two of them into the mask to make you feel better."

Han Ying took out a small box of fresh popping beads and handed out two to each person.

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, this is a good thing."

Qin Qinghai took the two explosive beads, took off his mask and pressed it directly inside. After putting it on again, he felt that the air was fresh.

Eight people and one dog, fully equipped, walked out of the base in a mighty manner.

After the previous tsunami, the whole city was devastated, but most of the buildings were still in good condition.

But now the buildings outside have turned into ruins one by one.

The materials in these buildings close to the base have been looted long ago, so there is nothing to dig out of the ruins.

There was no furniture, just a pile of steel, concrete and bricks.

The situation outside was still better than they imagined, because the bodies of the victims near the base had basically been cleared away.

Several people walked along, but they really didn't find any corpses.

Han Ying told Lu Yuan that when they left the base before, they found several trees that had not been cut down and they could go there.

This time they went to a place not far from the lake where they had slipped out of the base.

In fact, it is right behind the base, but because it is close to the suburbs, it has been ignored by many people.

It wasn't even close, and even though everyone was walking very quickly, it still took more than an hour to get there.

This place was originally deep in a park. Because there were trees nearby and no scenery, few people came here.

And now because it is behind the base, fewer people will go around here to cut down trees.

Seeing that all the dead trees were still there, everyone had smiles on their faces.

In fact, even though Lu Yuan was leading the way, everyone was worried that their trip would be in vain.

How can you not be happy to see that there are no traces of being cut down in the entire forest?

It was obvious that few people would come here before, so naturally there were no corpses.

Everyone is also afraid that the protective clothing will be scratched when they are busy, so they take off the protective clothing.

But the mask was not taken off.

They had to rush back before dawn, so they didn't have much time to chop down the trees.

Lu Yuan took out the electric saw and cut down the trees he could see one by one.

Lin Ting's strength was quite strong, and she slashed hard with the axe.

Han Ying took a folding saw and cut off the thinner branches.

He Xiu and Wu Tingfang were responsible for tying up the wood.

The two children were nearby, assisting Qin Qinghai in sawing the wood they had chopped, and the branches that Han Ying had cut off were moved to He Xiu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to tie up.

And Tangyuan was standing nearby on guard in case anyone came to take advantage of them.

The humming sound of Lu Yuan sawing wood and the humming sound of Lin Ting chopping down trees resounded in the dark night.

As time goes by, more and more wood is piled on the ground.

The amount of wood exceeded everyone's expectations. The problem now is that although there are many people, they only have three trailers, one of which is very small.

Most of them can only be tied up with ropes and dragged back, but how many can be dragged back with manpower?
