Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile
Chapter 35 Departure to the base
The temperature did not continue to rise, hovering between 0 and 5 degrees for half a month. The ice fog gradually dissipated, and many people took off their thick coats to celebrate the fact that the extreme cold was about to pass.
The ice and snow between the sky and the earth began to melt, and the sound of dripping water could be heard everywhere. The icy water from the back mountain flowed to the low-lying areas along the terrain, and part of the water flowed through the end of the village and flowed to the head of the village.
The Su family dug a deep water channel around the house, and all the ice water nearby flowed along the channel to the low-lying area at the entrance of the village.
When Lan's father saw that the Su family had dug a water diversion channel, he asked for their opinion and also dug a similar water diversion channel near the old house to ensure that water would not enter the house.
In the past half month, the radio finally reported the country's new policy. In order to prevent the chain reaction caused by natural disasters, the country officially opened all rescue bases and all addresses were announced.
As soon as this breaking news came out on the radio, it was broadcast on a 24-hour basis.
The men of the Su family brought their radios and had in-depth conversations with their grandfather, eldest cousin, Tan Chuang, and Lan's father, analyzing the experts' suggestions and national policies on the radio.
The grandfather agreed to go with the Su family to the rescue base. The Su family was their only relative in the village, but it was a pity to lose the houses and fields in the village.
Alan's father also wanted to go with them. He and Alan depended on each other and had no relatives that they were particularly reluctant to leave. Moreover, they trusted the Su family very much and even privately felt that they were lucky that the Su family invited them to go with them.
Tan Chuang and his eldest cousin were very hesitant. They looked at the map and found that the terrain of Xinxu Village was not low, so the flood might not reach it. It was difficult for them to give up everything and live in an unfamiliar place just for a guess that had not happened yet. They had not only a large family of all ages, but also many relatives in the village.
Most of the elderly people in the two families are unwilling to move. The house and the field are their life. The experts have said so many things. If it is really that serious, why didn’t they predict the extreme cold to give everyone a shot of prevention?
The two families each had their own thoughts and both said they would consider it carefully. Su's father and the others didn't say much. If they didn't want to go to grandma's house, they would leave some things for them as a final farewell. They didn't know if they would see each other again.
He also sent a message to Wang Zhihui and Qin Guo. They believed that the climate was beginning to recover and things would get better and better in the future. Besides, there were too many relatives at home who were unwilling to go to the base. Su Yun and Xiao Jing talked to them twice but failed to convince them. They could only go with the flow. At least in this life, they were mentally prepared and they would be able to live a better life.
Maybe this is the crossroads of life, Su Yun did his best.
How many people will always trust you blindly? Standing at the crossroads of life, everyone always has too many concerns and makes different choices. Thinking of this, Su Yun felt relieved.
Time was running out, and most of the ice and snow on the road had melted. The three families who had decided to leave were busy packing up their belongings in the house.
Young Master Su still used a light truck to load things. They dismantled the wooden doors and cabinets at home and built a simple RV around the light truck. The back of the truck was tightly sealed with wooden boards. To prevent water from entering the truck, they also covered the outside with a layer of film left over from farming at home and tarpaulin used for waterproofing when transporting goods. All important supplies were piled in the innermost part of the truck, and several low tables were placed underneath, for fear that the food and daily necessities would get wet in the rain. The truck was half loaded and could not be loaded anymore. The back half of the truck had to be converted into everyone's living room.
There is a total of 8 people in the family, big and small, and space must be left for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
There is a small bunk bed big enough for four people to lie down, and the remaining space is used for a table with its legs fixed with screws.
The four seats in the front of the car can be used for taking turns driving and resting, which looks pretty good and the arrangements for a family of eight are very clear.
Lan's father doesn't have a car and doesn't know how to drive. It just so happens that the Su family has two cars, a light truck and a Huolala. There are actually not enough seats, but Wang Jie has made up his mind. After driving for a while, he will use the excuse of looking for supplies to get an RV. Of course, the RV was taken out from the space.
There are many elderly people and children in my family, and it would be very inconvenient without a motorhome.
Alan and his friends used the few square meters at the back of the Huolala to load their things. Since the two of them didn't know how to drive, they folded down the back seats and used it as a lounge. Su Yun and Wang Jie drove in the front.
Su Zhangming drives a light truck and has made some modifications to it based on the one my grandfather's. However, the materials and details are much better than mine. It looks like a small warehouse and bedroom separated by a door. The waterproofing on the outside is very good, and there are even several windows that allow air to pass through and let in light.
The rest of the family squeezed in behind the light truck.
The journey is long, and such a large light truck looks like it can carry a lot of things from the outside, so the Su family won’t have to hide if they want to use something in the future.
All the things in the house have been packed up. Large pieces of furniture are placed directly in the space, and unimportant pots and pans used in daily life are piled on the light truck to cross the open road.
At the end of the cleaning, the insulation boards in the room were removed, the materials used for floor heating were removed, and the blackout curtains on the windows were also removed.
The basement was even emptier, with several large freezers and shelves placed directly into the space, requiring no cleaning at all.
If the stove in the kitchen could not be moved, Su Yun would put the stove into the space.
Finally, the doors and windows were closed and the three cars drove towards the village entrance.
The car stopped at the door of the little grandmother's house. The whole family took turns going in to say goodbye to the little grandmother and left some food and a rubber boat.
There was a look of reluctance on everyone's face. Su Ma hugged her little grandmother and cried bitterly. After finally calming her down, everyone took a group photo together and then said goodbye.
Dad Su posted the contents of the broadcast on the bulletin board under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, including the detailed address of the nearby base.
Everyone was curious about why these three families moved away for no reason, but it was not until now that everyone understood why they did this.
The content posted on the bulletin board attracted everyone's attention, but few believed it. After finally getting through the extreme cold, everyone was ready to resume production. It was not that they did not believe the experts, but they did not believe the Su family.
A group of people who are engaged in speculation and committing crimes outside, they can't wait to go to the public security bureau to report their entire family tomorrow. How could they follow their thinking? They thought that the Su family going east was a conspiracy and a trap.
So, people should not eat too much. When Su's father heard many people nearby slandering them behind their backs, he shook his head helplessly and got on the light truck.
I wish them good luck. Anyway, they didn't even know what was on the radio in their previous life. It was only after the flood came and the drone loudspeakers sent by the state broadcast everywhere that everyone got to know the information of the rescue base.
Freshly melted ice water was flowing all along the road. At this time, it began to drizzle. Su Yun looked up at the horizon. A large, dark cloud layer with golden edges covered the entire sky. Just looking at it made people tremble with fear, as if a rainstorm was about to fall.
Su Yuncai remembered that there were several heavy rainstorms before the flood.
Yin picked up the walkie-talkie and told Su Zhangming, who was driving a light truck behind him, that a rainstorm was coming and to pay attention to the surrounding environment.
The car moved slowly, and Wang Jie and Su Yun chatted idly.
We soon arrived at the town. The 5-meter-thick snow had melted to only 1 meter. During this time, many people on the street were happily clearing the snow, but when they saw the dark clouds looming, they hurried back home and hid.
The wind started to blow outside, accompanied by rumbling lightning and thunder. It was clearly less than 10 o'clock in the morning, but the entire sky seemed to have suddenly plunged into darkness. Su Yun had no choice but to turn into an old house in the town to avoid the storm.
In the previous life, the whole family was so hungry that they lost their minds. They didn't pay any attention to the specific weather changes. They just knew that this happened. They went out without checking the almanac, and as expected, they got off to a bad start.
Heavy rain came with lightning and it lasted for half a day before it slowly stopped.
We could only stay in town for one night, so we tidied up the first floor. Fortunately, the living room on the first floor was big enough and the temperature was around 0 degrees. Su Xiaogu lit three charcoal braziers and placed them in the living room. Everyone chatted and ate around the charcoal stoves.
Most of them were dry food that had been prepared in advance. Knowing that they would set out today, they took some food from their grandfather's house and made pancakes. Now they could be eaten as long as they were heated up. Su Zhibang gave each person half a pancake.
Su Ma cooked a big pot of porridge with canned olives and asked everyone to have a bowl of porridge.
Lan's father got a bowl of soup and shared it with Alan. He also took out some mutton jerky from the bottom of the box and gave each of them a couple of bites.
It feels really good that the three families are slowly taking care of each other.
Su Ma quietly wiped away her tears and asked Su Yun: "Will your little grandmother and the others not go with you? Will something happen to you?"
Su Yun comforted them, "The village is at a higher altitude and was trapped by the flood later. In our previous life, we were so hungry that we ran out to find food and were swept away by the flood. If we had stayed at home honestly, a rescue team would have come to search and rescue us soon." In the previous life, after his family was separated by the flood, a week later the rescue team came on a yacht to rescue the victims. In order to find his family, Su Yun did not move with them, but he also saw that many people did not have time to leave their luggage and hurriedly followed the rescue team.
Those who were captured had to obey the rescue team’s instructions, otherwise they would starve to death.
"That's good. At least your grandma's house has some food hidden, so you won't die."
"Mom, we have done our best to help. They have their own relatives and friends. No one wants to leave their homeland before seeing a bigger disaster coming." Su Yun said helplessly, thinking of Xiao Jing's last words again. If a flood really happened, their family would try their best to survive, and then go to the rescue base to find them, hoping to meet them again in the future.
Choosing this time to travel has a particularly high safety factor. Not only can you ensure the safety of your family to the greatest extent, but you can also make some free purchases along the way.
The illusion of continued warming temperatures made the public believe that everything was getting better, and social order was briefly restored. Those who had previously burned, killed, and looted became much more honest for fear of being held accountable later.
Family members who have passed away have only just come to realize that the bodies that were hastily buried in the snow are gradually being exposed, which has frightened some people. Some families have hurriedly found new graves to move the graves while the land is gradually thawing. Some bodies that were not claimed were directly buried in pits dug by nearby villagers.
Everyone was busy with their own things and it was very lively, and the Su family villa was also very lively at this time.
As soon as they left, Pan Min's mother and others rushed in. Meng Zhe's wife was also in the crowd. Looking at the empty house, everyone was angry. The Su family was too stingy.
It would be fine if the tables, chairs and benches were taken away, but they couldn't understand why the beds and wardrobes were also gone. Could they have been chopped up and used for firewood? The most abominable thing was that except for the front door and the yard, all the doors of the other rooms were removed, and not even the light bulbs on the ceiling were left. The house was completely bare.
Those who originally wanted to occupy the magpie's nest have now given up the idea of moving in. Such a house is worse than living in their own doghouse.
The heavy rain continued for a long time. The ice and snow at the door had just melted a little when another heavy rain came. Suddenly, the water on the street was above the ankles.
Surrounded by ice water and rain, the temperature remained at around 0 degrees. In the past, such weather would have made people shiver with cold, but at this time, everyone had experienced the torment of extreme cold, and no one complained about this horrible weather. Everyone stayed at home and did not go out. All the old neighbors nearby saw the Su family return, but did not go to disturb them because of the weather. They thought that the Su family must have moved back to the town after seeing that the extreme cold was over, and those curious people thought about waiting until tomorrow to go and take a look.
After dinner, the Su family members went back to their cars to rest. The next morning, just after daybreak, everyone had a simple breakfast, packed up their things, and set off in the car through the accumulated water.
