From the early morning of August 8 to September 31, the heavy rain lasted for more than three days.

During this period, Qin Miao simply adjusted her work and rest schedule, using a tiled pool to store water at night and catching up on her sleep during the day.

On the morning of August 8, the rain subsided a little. Liu Shaogang and others set up a simple rain shelter in the square, then turned on the loudspeaker and started playing the voice recorded last night:

"People in the community, listen! Residents who need to collect rainwater can now bring their own containers downstairs!"

"People can take shelter under our shed, and the containers are placed in the open space outside the shed to collect water! We will guard the area near the shed and try our best to protect your personal safety!"

"Only during the day! I repeat, only during the day! It's dangerous at night! Wait until the sun sets and go home to eat! Don't disobey me, otherwise you will be finished immediately!"

"People in the community, listen..."

Qin Miao was already used to this kind of bandit-style speech written by Zhang Huofeng and recited by Liu Shaogang. Apparently, the residents are used to it.

Although the windows of various balconies can be opened to receive water, the amount that can be received is very limited, and some have sealed balconies, which is even more inconvenient.

It’s just that people on higher floors don’t want to climb the stairs back and forth. But for residents living on low floors, it is best to go outside to pick them up. They can bring a few more containers down at a time and put them on the ground. Once the containers are full, they can take them home first, which saves effort and time. .

Many people went out happily after hearing the news. I don't know whether it was because of gratitude, awe, or fear. In short, everyone was very conscious and there was no trouble or trouble at all.

In the evening, Li Meimei took a disposable paper cup and poured a cup of hot ginger water for everyone outside. Everyone understood that it was time to close the stall, and they all returned home contentedly carrying containers filled with water.

By noon on September 9, the empty containers in people's homes were almost full, and very few people came out to receive water.

Qin Miao then asked Liu Shaogang to issue a notice: The rainwater received by residents can be poured into the outdoor water storage bags at the supply station and exchanged for drinking pure water at a ratio of 20:1.

Everyone knows that rainwater contains bacteria and pollutants, and drinking it directly may cause symptoms such as acute diarrhea. Qin Miao deliberately chose to issue the water change notice after everyone had stocked up on rainwater.

When the water source is insufficient, of course everyone thinks that they are thankful for the water and they don’t dare to waste it at all. It is impossible to accept such an exaggerated exchange ratio.

But now that people are not short of water in the short term, they will naturally consider health and safety.

And they have no extra containers to hold the rainwater, but the rain hasn't stopped yet. It feels like "the store suddenly closed down before the balance of the charged membership card was used up."

At this time, changing the water becomes their most cost-effective option.

Therefore, as soon as the news was sent out, people who were already worried about how to filter the rainwater started to hoard water more actively.

Even residents living on high floors went downstairs one after another. After all, the water they received this time only needed to be delivered to the supply station on the first floor, without having to climb back and forth.

Although the ratio of 20:1 is very low, it will not cause any problems. It is much better than rain.

Anyway, being idle at home is idle. It is better to go outside to collect water, and squat in the shed to chat with the neighbors. As long as you are diligent, you can get a lot of pure water in one day.

In this way, the residents will be responsible for collecting water, and everyone at the supply station will no longer have to work too hard to carry water during the day. Lu Dongcheng and Zhang Menghan are responsible for changing the water, and the rest of the people can work in shifts to maintain order.

As early as when she was harvesting vegetables, Qin Miao had already experienced the principle of "when everyone gathers firewood, the flames rise". However, when she entered the supply station at 8 o'clock in the evening, she was still shocked by the water bags in the room.

Even the water storage bags and water storage tanks prepared in advance at the supply station were not enough. Many residents carried rainwater in plastic bags, which were hung all over the clothes drying racks. The scene was truly spectacular.

After three days, a lot of water was actually stored. Qin Miao took it all into the space in the name of 'space metal ball' and filtered it with an industrial water purifier in the koi pendant.

Through the camera, Qin Miao also saw the situation in the suburban park.

Leader Zhao used his water power to roll the rainwater into a ball and collected it all in the park's artificial pools and the "water source" pit.

Originally, precipitation alone was not enough to fill the pool, but now, thanks to the unremitting efforts of Team Leader Zhao and everyone in the construction team, it is full to the point of overflowing.

Qin Miao knew the big pit of "water source" well. Even if it was not completely filled, there would still be at least more than two thousand tons of water. Qin Miao was greedy to see it.

......

In the early morning of September 9, Qin Miao, who had been busy all night, took advantage of the sun to put away all the tile pools in the square.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the rain that had lasted for many days finally stopped completely, the sky cleared up, and the sun began to rise.

Everyone who came to the supply station early to work suddenly had nothing to do. Qin Miao simply asked Li Meimei to bring two rabbits down from 1002, one braised in braised food and the other spicy, served with other vegetables, and took everyone to have a hearty meal. .

More than 6 days have passed since Chen Xiao awakened to "Distinguish Good from Evil", and Qin Miao's progress bar has been read.

The gap between Level 4 "Distinguish Good from Evil" and Chen Xiao's Level 2 which can only detect lies is really not small. When activating the power, you can even see the black and white light groups of good intentions and malice on everyone.

The entire supply station is filled with large or small white light groups as far as the eye can see.

The girl Chen Xiao's kind-hearted light ball actually looked about the same size as Liu Shaogang and the others. This was something Qin Miao didn't expect.

Looking at Chen Xiao who was trying hard to put the white rice into his mouth with his head bent, Qin Miao smiled helplessly.

Ever since that day when Chu Xuanxuan teased Chen Xiao that this place couldn't afford to support her, she only ate two bowls of rice with a small amount of vegetables every day. No one could persuade her, for fear that she would be ruthlessly kicked out of the community if she ate too much meat. .

Everyone was helpless and stopped trying to persuade him.

Qin Miao found it funny every time he saw her gnawing on rice. If she was asked to eat some meat, she would shake her head violently, as if eating meat was some kind of test.

Qin Miao was in a good mood today, so she used serving chopsticks to pick up a rabbit leg and put it in the bowl.

Chen Xiaoxuan paused, and when he raised his head, his eyes were filled with mist.

"Sister Miao..." the voice whimpered.

Qin Miao looked at the tears that were about to fall in her eyes, and her words of comfort were twisted on her lips, and when she said them, they were already: "Don't do this."

Feeling that this tone was a bit harsh, Qin Miao added: "I won't let you go. From now on, as long as you do your job well, it doesn't matter how much you eat."

"Really!" Chen Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and the tears in his eyes fell with the blink of an eye, as if the dirt was washed away, leaving a clear picture: "Don't you think I'm useless?"

Qin Miao was pragmatic: "...that's still a bit too much."

Chen Xiaoquan pretended not to hear and continued to ask: "Then I can also eat vegetables and meat like Brother Huofeng, and eat the egg yolk pie in the cabinet at the supply station? Is it okay to eat it all the time?"

"You've even observed where the egg yolk pie is usually placed, right?" ←_←

Qin Miao rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk to her anymore. She turned to Erbao and said, "The same goes for you. Don't be afraid to eat enough. We have this condition."

When she told Erbao that she would have no food to eat with her, she just wanted to confirm whether he really wanted to follow her, but this child took it seriously and really only ate the amount for one person at a time.

Of these people who have awakened their powers now, who wouldn’t eat twice or three times? The portion for one person was not even enough for Xiao Mo to eat.

Suddenly, Erbao suddenly remembered his brother's advice: 'From now on, when I am no longer with you, if you really can't make any contribution to the team, you must eat less. What would you do if you were kicked out by the team leader..."

Now hearing Qin Miao's completely opposite words, he nodded in emotion, his hand holding his rice bowl trembling slightly.

Chen Xiao also reacted, smiling so hard that his teeth were exposed: "It doesn't matter whether you eat or not. The main thing is that I want to do more work for Sister Miao, hehe."

.................................

After eating, everyone dispersed and continued to patrol the community according to Qin Miao's previous arrangements. Especially the matter of catching birds must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Although the organization hiding in the dark and waiting for opportunities did not try to fish in troubled waters during this heavy rain, it still had to take precautions.

Tomorrow is five months since the end of the world, and in one month, the rescue team from the survivor base will come to pick people up, but Qin Miao is becoming more and more hesitant.

Let’s not talk about whether the so-called base is reliable. Let’s just say that she has now attracted the attention of the Du Group. Will the base be willing to offend the organization for them? Qin Miao doesn't think so.

Even if they are optimistic, the base can really fully accept them. Whether they have the strength to confront the organization is another matter.

The main reason was that she lived too short a time in her previous life and had no idea about the strength and situation of the base. She didn't even know whether the base was established by the military or by capable civilians, so it was difficult for her to make a judgment.

And she doesn’t understand the operation of the base at all. Even if she wants to build a base by herself, she must first see how others operate the base, right?

The lack of information is the most difficult thing in the apocalypse. People cannot communicate with each other. Although the idea of ​​living in a corner is beautiful, it is too dangerous.

Qin Miao was so preoccupied when she returned home that she was distracted even when feeding the canned milk cakes for puppies to the wolf puppies.

"Miaomiao, you have already fed it two cans." Chu Xuanxuan pointed at the head of a little wolf dog and stopped Qin Miao's hand that was about to feed the third can.

When Qin Miao came back to her senses, she saw that the little thing had already eaten so much that it was swaying when walking.

Qin Miao: ( ’ - ’ * )

She turned to look at Xiao Mo who was squatting aside, and said in a very natural tone: "Are you sure that 'Qizhi' was successful? Why is this little thing still so dumb? He is still eating even though he is full."

Xiaomo: (??v﹏v?? )

Xiao Mo was silent. In this short half minute, many new words he learned while watching TV series with Qin's mother flashed through his mind.

Sister Miaomiao's move may be called... diverting trouble to the east, knocking him down, and looking around.

In the end, he didn't say anything, he just silently picked up the little milk ball and moved it to the side, and squatted in a ball with his back to Qin Miao.

"Miaomiao, this has nothing to do with IQ." Chu Xuanxuan said fairly: "Do you think there is a possibility that it is greedy?"

A puppy that is only one month old, has just learned to walk wobblingly, and has no teeth. Is it a bit bullying to expect it to know that it is hungry?

Seeing Qin Miao's appearance, Chu Xuanxuan also noticed that something was wrong with her and asked, "Are you worried about something?"

Qin Miao lowered her head, scooped up another little wolfdog that had been waiting to be fed until the flowers were almost withered, and began to continue feeding.

Her voice was faint: "We have to go to the suburban park again as soon as possible."

"Eh?" Chu Xuanxuan raised his head in confusion: "What if the organization didn't send a power user over in the past two days?"

In the previous life, the heavy rain did not happen at this time, which was completely unexpected by Qin Miao.

Originally, she thought that the organization would definitely send someone within five days, but after the rain disrupted the situation, and there were only two days left, she was a little unsure.

If the organization sends someone to come while she is out, the situation in the community will undoubtedly be very dangerous.

Can......

"We can't delay it any longer, we need evolution fluid."

Qin Miao frowned: "When the 'Metal' reading is completed in two days, if the machine in the space ball can really be taken out, I will immediately go to Du Zhidong to recover the remaining evolutionary fluid."

"If the organization hasn't sent anyone before then, I will have to go to the suburban park by myself. I'll try my best to get back as soon as possible."

She looked at Chu Xuanxuan and said in a serious tone: "Only if you stay here can I rest assured."

Her parents are still at home, and there are ordinary people in her team who have not yet awakened their powers, leaving "treatment" behind. Even if the organization does send people here, it will only be a fierce battle at most. She has made arrangements, and there is a high probability that there will be no casualties.

Qin Miao rubbed the last little wolfdog, which was chubby and full of food. It was warm. He first exposed his belly for Qin Miao to touch, then turned over with his short legs and licked Qin Miao's palm.

Qin Miao touched it for a long time, and her frown gradually relaxed. As she stood up, her stomach began to growl again.

She wiped her hands with alcohol wipes, then walked to the dining table and took out a bowl of wontons to eat. His movements were extremely skillful, almost like he was following a mechanical process.

"Before the survivor base comes to pick up people on October 10, I must upgrade my abilities to level 5. Your [healing] must be at least level 5, and everyone else in the team must also try to break through level 4."

Only those with high enough combat power are qualified to make choices. The weak cannot choose, and the weak only deserve charity. This is the basic rule of survival in the apocalypse.

..............................................

At night, Qin Miao carefully checked and sorted out the supplies in the space. She had eaten too much these days and consumed a lot of food.

Fortunately, there are vegetables handed in by the residents as a supplement, otherwise I am afraid that we will really have nothing to eat.
