Rebirth in the end times: The whole family keeps a low profile

In the evening, Su Zhangming came back sweating profusely, holding half a pound of old grain in his hand, muttering: I won't go again, I'm so tired, and the rice I was given is not enough for me to consume. We didn't bring bowls for lunch, so we took turns drinking with cups. Sister, you don't know, several people around us fainted from heatstroke and were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. I heard it was heat stroke.

Su Yun replied while processing the wild vegetables: "What I know about heat stroke is that it is caused by the dysfunction of the body's temperature regulation function due to high temperature, excessive accumulation of heat in the body, and damage to the nerve organs. In the classification of heat stroke, it is severe heat stroke. So is there no measure at the base?"

Yes, many people could not stand the heat and ran back halfway. The wall of the base has not been completed yet. When we went off work to get our rice tonight, the staff said that it was too hot during the day, so they would change the construction schedule to morning and evening. We have to be at work at 5-10 in the morning when it is just light, and go again at 5-8 in the afternoon.

Dad Su was puzzled and asked: Why are there still 2 hours missing?

There's nothing we can do about it. It gets dark after 8 o'clock and we can't see it, but the reward remains the same.

Su Ma sighed: Alas, haven’t you seen that there are fewer people fetching water during the day? Most of them come out to fetch water at night. The high temperature of 50 degrees is no joke. Some elderly people with poor heart and lung function have difficulty breathing.

Su Yun: If you’re not going tomorrow, will anyone else go?

Su Zhangming: The people from 702 are going. They just moved in, so naturally they want to store more food. The people from the 5th floor said they can’t go. Today, my uncle almost fainted from the heat. I was so scared that I gave him several gulps of ice water from the thermos before he recovered.

Su Ma: Xiaoyun, do you want to help 702? I see they have no food to eat, they look pitiful. After all, he is my cousin.

Su Yun: Well, just wait for the next family to bring two bags of salt, and the rest depends on how they plan it themselves. There is no such thing as sending a Buddha to the west.

Aunt Su, there are only two bags of salt. Isn’t that too little?

Su Zhangming: Oh, Mom, don't worry. Just now, Dad Lan from the 5th floor sent them a lot of dried fish and vegetables. Grandpa's family also gave them some unused furniture. Besides, the two bags of rice in the morning will not last long. See how many families in the base can still take out two bags of rice.

Dad Su: If you had listened to us and followed us, this wouldn't have happened. The things you brought back from Jihan and the food stored at home are enough to sustain them for a year or so. It's a pity that they got it for free.

Su Ma: Okay, okay, they don’t have the ability to foresee things, so they must have more concerns than us. Don’t mention these things in the future, it’s not good for others to hear them.

Dad Su: I just feel sad. You guys were such good friends as the Flying Squirrels Team back then, but now you are like this.

Su Zhangming felt upset when he thought of Qin Guo and Qin Song, and he really wanted to ask them what they were thinking.

The Su family's dinner was relatively simple, just a pot of white porridge with some homemade pickled beans and sword beans. The weather was too hot to eat anything else.

The people on the 5th and 7th floors were also drinking porridge, but the porridge on the 5th floor was thicker, with dried fish and wild vegetables. The people on the 7th floor cooked a big pot of wild vegetable porridge for one meal, but they didn't complain. Today, they went to the construction site and met people from Xinxu Village. Those people knew that they lived in Lingyun Community, so they chased them and asked what was going on. It was Su Zhangming who saw it and fooled those people away.

They will continue to work tomorrow, continue to store water, and strive to make this little family prosperous and piss off those bastards who stole their things.

At night, Su Yun and Wang Jie went upstairs and gave them two bags of salt, asking them to plan well and take good care of their bodies. The people in 702 received care from the Su family one after another, and they almost knelt down to say that they would work like slaves for the Su family in the future to repay their kindness. Su Yun disliked this kind of scene the most. Holding the little star in his arms, he said: You still have to walk the future path by yourselves. Don't be stubborn. Keep a low profile in the base and don't let anyone know your address. Also pay attention to protecting your privacy when using the circle, and live well for your family.

Then I told them that I would go to the rooftop tonight to install solar panels. They live on the 7th floor, so this could not be concealed.

The eldest cousin and Wang Zhihui finally found an opportunity to show off, and immediately said that they would go up and help. Su Yun still needed to take out the solar panels from the space, so she rejected their kindness, saying that it was too dark and it was easy to step on the panels. She asked them not to let anyone go to the rooftop in the future, which would be considered as helping.

They specially changed to a low-light flashlight, and the two of them worked upstairs for an hour to install it. At this moment, there is not only an insulation board on the roof, but also an extra layer of solar panels to prevent the roof of the 1th floor from being directly exposed to the sun, and the temperature can be reduced by at least 7 degrees.

In the future, the electricity used at home can be directly connected to the solar charging panels, and the unused electricity can be saved and sold.

The high temperature of 45 degrees at night is not only uncomfortable and unbearable, but the sweat from the body is instantly evaporated. Infants, the elderly, pregnant women, patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and malnourished people in the base are most susceptible to heatstroke.

After more than a year of natural disasters, there are only a handful of infants and pregnant women in the base. Everyone is hungry and has no intention of having children.

A group of elderly people passed away during the extreme cold, and the elderly were also the ones bitten the most during the last insect plague, so there are not many elderly people in the base. In extreme environments, only those who are strong enough can survive one disaster after another.

There are too many malnourished people in the base, from 3-year-old children to 70-year-old elders. They have not eaten much meat for more than a year and are seriously malnourished. The hospital in the base is becoming overcrowded again. People who faint are constantly sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and some die directly due to untimely rescue.

Director Li was feeling very distressed. He had just dealt with the seriously ill patients left over from the insect plague, and now a large number of people suffering from heat stroke arrived. The Huoxiang Zhengqi water in the hospital was not enough.

He hurriedly called Li Yimin for help. The next morning, the men of 701 went out early to perform base tasks. The base did not provide much food, but every little bit counts. Instead of sitting at home and eating up all the food, it was better to go out to work. They could get porridge and rice every day.

At dawn, the base issued a new notice. In view of the continued high temperatures in recent days, many elderly people and children in the base have suffered from heat stroke. The underground air-raid shelter is now open as a temporary shelter. People under 18 years old to over 60 years old can queue up to enter with their base identity cards. The shelter only provides 500 ml of drinking water and a bowl of porridge every day. Other daily necessities are provided by yourself.

In the end, the young man took on everything. Su Yun looked out the window at the ground scorched by the high temperature. Even the air was distorted.

On the 5th floor, only my uncle's 3 children and his 70-year-old grandparents met the requirements. For the safety of the elderly and children, the two elderly people took their 3 children to the air-raid shelter to escape the heat. No one on the 7th floor met the requirements. Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang were both 57 years old, and the youngest in the family, Xiao Xingxing, was only 5 months old and could not live without adults. In addition, my little cousin just turned 18 and was following his father to do base missions.

The people in 701 go back and forth under the scorching sun every day, and something is bound to happen sooner or later. Su Yun thought of the more than one hundred bamboos in the space, and planned to ask Lan's father to customize a bamboo hat for each of them to provide sun protection and fix it on their heads, which would not affect their work and could effectively keep out the heat.

The summer vacation broadcast inside the base was played on a loop. Many elderly people and their half-grown children were sent by their families to the air-raid shelter to queue up. The air-raid shelter contained food and supplies for the entire base and was basically heavily guarded. No one dared to make trouble inside, and there was free food relief. This allowed many young people to send their elderly and children in without worry. Some children who had no adults to take care of them asked familiar elderly people to help take care of them.

Su's father and mother are not yet 60 years old, so they just stay at home to take care of the children. Besides, there is air conditioning at home, which is many times better than an air-raid shelter.

On the other side, Mengzhe was in dire straits. A few days ago, Brother Quan robbed Wang Zhihui's van. Those from the same village who saw it took part in the robbing and turned Wang Zhihui's car upside down. Li Mei was quick to grab 4 barrels of infant formula powder, leaving one barrel for her children at home, and secretly exchanged the remaining 3 barrels for points, so that she could afford to live in the Dumpling House. She didn't expect Wang Zhihui to be so good at hiding. The seemingly inconspicuous van contained a lot of food and daily necessities.

At this moment, Li Mei was holding her child and complaining: "Look at Wang, he just entered the base and moved into Lingyun Community. I heard that it is the safest place in the base. The base commander also lives there. Not only is the environment good, but it is also close to the well. It takes 20 minutes to walk to get water here, and you have to queue for half a day. How can he be so lucky?"

He heard from Tan Chuang that they met Wang Zhihui while doing a base mission. She didn't care much at first. They were lucky that they didn't die on the road. Unexpectedly, several people checked into Lelingyun Community. After asking around, she found out that they were brought in by those people from the Su family. It's really a narrow road for enemies. They can meet everywhere.

Meng Zhe rubbed his aching temple. Recently, he found that Li Mei was becoming more and more sarcastic. Originally, they set out with the village team and everything went smoothly. Later, after they found the military truck, Brother Quan immediately changed his face and robbed Wang Zhihui's supplies. Li Mei followed Brother Quan and rushed to rob the supplies. At that time, she felt that his wife seemed to have changed a lot. Although the family was unable to make ends meet, there was basically no problem getting to the base. Her behavior really made him feel neither good nor bad. After all, he also thought that those supplies could alleviate the plight of the family.

When he actually saw that those cans of milk powder were exchanged for so many points, he was actually a little glad that Li Mei acted quickly and accurately. He spent every day in confusion, self-doubt, and self-persuasion.

They lived on the 7th floor of the Dumpling Building. They were exposed to the sun during the day and couldn't sleep at night because of the heat. There were 8 people sleeping in 9 beds. The luggage they brought was piled under the beds. There was not even a table. At night, they had to go to the public kitchen to cook porridge. To make a fire in the public kitchen, they not only had to bring their own pots and pans, but also firewood, lighters and water. Therefore, there were not too many people in the kitchen, and it was quickly taken to wait in line.

He took a look and felt that his family lacked everything, so he followed Brother Tan to sign up for basic tasks at the base. He could avoid Li Mei during the day, but when he returned home at night, he had to listen to Li Mei's nagging again.

Mengzhe comforted them: Among so many villagers, except for the relatives on Brother Quan's side, only Brother Tan and I have saved points. We should be more content. We can also go to the base canteen to buy some food to satisfy our hunger. Other families don't have many points. If they want to eat, they have to work first. So don't complain.

You despise me now, so what if I complain? If I hadn't been smart along the way, would we have lived so well? Put away your pitiful self-esteem. We can't go back to the unit. What's the point of being so noble?

Mengzhe stared at him: How can you talk like that?

Li Mei said angrily: If you can support the family, I wouldn't say this. I'm just disappointed in you.

Mengzhe was already feeling hot and irritable, and now he felt even more stuffy in the room. He turned around, slammed the iron door and went out to get some fresh air. As soon as he went out, the heat wave outside surged into the room, and he heard Li Mei shouting in the room: If you have the guts, don't come back.

Brother Quan next door was listening to the noise next door with a smile on his face. This couple was so interesting. They kept quarreling all the way. It really overturned his perception of the academic master.

Fortunately, he knew from the information provided by Qin Guo and Qin Song that Wang Zhihui had hidden a lot of good things in the car. Not only did he rob the car, but he also took all the pots, pans, rice and dried vegetables in the car. He was really greedy. The next target would be the Su family. I heard that the Su family was very rich. They got a lot of supplies from Ji Han, and the whole family had delicious food and drinks every day. It was a pity that Lingyun Community was difficult to enter, so he could only look for opportunities slowly.

Pan Min's family happened to live next to Brother Quan. They were relatives and would discuss how to rob other people's supplies. At this moment, Pan Min's mother was lying on the bed with a high fever, feeling weak and flushed. Pan Shuai wanted to send her to the hospital, but Pan Min's father said it was just a simple heat stroke and that it would be fine after a scald. Why waste points in the hospital? It would be better to use the points to exchange for more food. Pan Shuai's wife didn't dare to speak. If she agreed with her father-in-law at this moment, she would be the first to be scolded when her mother-in-law got better.

Brother Tan's house was a few houses away from them. They were considered a group of disaster victims who arrived late. All the good houses had been taken. Tan Chuang's family had just eight beds for eight people, big and small. Their supplies were quite abundant. Because he was the village chief, Brother Quan didn't think of him on the way. This time, his family brought the most complete belongings, but they also lost a lot of food along the way to help the people who followed them from the village. The cured chicken and duck were forced to be given away two months ago. As the temperature rose, the meat would go bad, so they had to give them to people close to them. His family had the most strong men along the way, and no one dared to think of his family. When he saw Wang Zhihui being robbed, he thought about stepping forward to help, but Mother Tan held him back and told him to mind his own business and be careful of retaliation.

Afterwards he regretted it very much and wanted to send some food to his mother, but he didn't expect that all the food was locked in a box by his mother and there was no way to take it out.
