End of the World

"Hang the clothes out, I'll wait for you!"

"No need, let's dry it later!" Fang Yiliu shook his head quickly.

He Yuxin took a deep breath and said to her: "I don't know how you lived in the past. No one cares about the past. What we want to see is you in the present!"

"Yes, I remember what Sister Yu Xin said!" Fang Yilui took it as a lesson and lowered her head again.

"Hang up the clothes first, go quickly!" He Yuxin shook her head secretly.

Fang Yilu has some relationship with Fang Xiaoyun. He Yuxin wants her to live a better life, but now she doesn't know how to change her mindset.

"Okay." Fang Yilui ran away with the bucket, but came back in less than two minutes. He Yuxin guessed that she just took the bucket back.

"Relax, it's a very simple job!" said He Yuxin.

She took Fang Yilu to the vegetable garden. When she met Meng Qi on the way, she called her to go along.

Meng Qi greeted Fang Yiliu and she replied respectfully. Seeing He Yuxin's helpless expression, Meng Qi knew what was going on, so she chose her words carefully.

There are two people in the vegetable garden who are responsible for planting and picking. The man is called Zhang Wangfei and the woman is called Cheng Fang. They are from the countryside and are naturally better at growing vegetables than those who can't even keep potted plants alive.

Many people in the team are from rural areas, but after going to the city to work, they have almost lost their ancestral skills.

There are also people who used to learn carpentry, but now they have difficulty making a chair if they pick it up again.

"You're here!" Cheng Fang looked up and greeted with a smile.

"Well, is there anything I can help you with?" He Yuxin responded with a smile.

"There's nothing to do now. There's not enough for us to do!" Cheng Fang said with a smile. The seeds had just been planted, and there was nothing else to do except keeping the soil slightly moist.

Zhang Wangfei planted a few potato vines on the other side, which should be ready for harvest in winter.

However, Qishan is north of the Huai River and it will snow in winter, so an insulated greenhouse must be built before winter.

The team did not have the materials to build a greenhouse, so there was a lot of work to do in the early stages.

It's only summer now, so we have a few months to prepare. It's not too late to build a vegetable greenhouse until autumn.

Meng Qi squatted down and observed the little lives emerging from the ground. She had grown vegetables when she was on Orange Island and had some experience in planting.

He Yuxin took Fang Yilu to the other side to weed and cultivate new land. Labor can make people forget their worries temporarily.

Communication tower, Dafeng drove with Lengchuan and the others to the tower. When they saw the tall tower, they couldn't help but admire it. Only the military would build a tall tower in such a place. It was very convenient for them.

The equipment room was locked. Dafeng had already prepared tools to break the lock and used brute force to open the door. Afterwards, he only needed to ask Zhao Bofeng to come over and reinstall a lock.

In the equipment room, there is a row of unknown electronic equipment with many yellow and green indicator lights on both sides of the entrance. There are four computers on both sides of the operating room inside, and there is a door next to it.

Through the peephole, one could see two shelves inside, which were filled with server-like equipment. The wires were arranged in an orderly manner, unlike the messy ones seen before.

Dafeng broke the door open without saying a word.

Leng Chuan wanted to turn on the power switch to operate the computer, but Lan Yuxuan stopped him. For safety reasons, they had to disconnect the signal tower first. Direct power supply might connect to the military lines. If the military knew that the signal tower was activated for no reason, they might send people over.

All the servers or switches on the shelves do not provide storage space, but only connection ports and login services, which are somewhat like transfer stations.

Lan Yuxuan disconnected all the signal interfaces and cut those without interfaces with scissors. The military channels required authorization to enter.

After power is applied, several computers require an operator password to start up.

There is also a military high-frequency radio system in the equipment room, which can transmit over a distance of several thousand kilometers.

Radio is not that complicated and can be used directly.

The convoy uses ordinary radios, which can communicate normally within tens or hundreds of kilometers. For longer distances, a radio station is needed for relay.

If the convoy wants to communicate over a longer distance, it will need the cooperation of a communication vehicle.

Dafeng took the equipment used by the fleet off the car. The two of them fiddled with it for a long time but still couldn't match it with the signal tower.

"Trouble! The system is incompatible." After failing to connect for several times in a row, Lan Yuxuan concluded that the software and hardware were not compatible.

"Can you crack it?" Leng Chuan pointed at the machine on the shelf.

"I wish I were that powerful!" Lan Yuxuan rolled her eyes.

"There is another way. Try using the fleet's server!"

"You have to ask the captain!" Leng Chuan said.

The server the team was using was set up in the Beiling military camp. Leng Chuan and Lan Yuxuan had just come across this team at that time and were lucky to have met them.

"Let's go back first!" Lan Yuxuan closed her laptop.

The Warrior car returned to the power station. Leng Chuan and Lan Yuxuan got out of the car after entering the door. Dafeng drove the car to the warehouse and parked it.

"What's the situation with the signal tower?" He Yuxin came back from the vegetable garden. Seeing Lan Yuxuan coming back, she asked Fang Yilu to go back first.

"Wireless communication is fine, but establishing a regional network is unlikely."

"We checked the equipment room, but couldn't connect it." Lan Yuxuan said helplessly.

Leng Chuan said hello to He Yuxin and went back with his things.

"Is there a solution?"

"The server we brought over didn't match, and I'm afraid there might be problems if we use the team's server." Lan Yuxuan said.

"A radio is enough. I guess there will be an operation soon, and you will be needed to ensure smooth communication." He Yuxin did not insist on building any network. It would be enough if the original regional network could cover the power station.

"I understand. I'll go move the network equipment from the car and bring insurance for the communications car when I go out." Lan Yuxuan nodded.

The two women exchanged a few more words and then left.

Later, Chen Guangjun came back from hunting. He had a good harvest today. Near the river valley, he found a wild boar and finally caught it with great effort. He also found delicious honey in a tree hole and brought some back.

"Roar, Brother Jun is so powerful!" Dafeng shouted happily when he saw the wild boar.

Chen Guangjun threw the wild boar on the ground and sat down there exhausted. But I, He Yuxin, was considerate and brought hot water over, unlike Dafeng who just shouted.

"You've worked hard, take a good rest!" He Yuxin said, pouring him a cup of hot water.

Chen Guangjun took it and drank it all, wiped his mouth and said, "It would be better if we had a trap. If we hadn't brought a hatchet and set a trap today, we really wouldn't be able to catch it!"

"Talk to Uncle Zhao later, he should be able to make it."

"Dafeng, carry the wild boar to the dam." He Yuxin handed the kettle to Chen Guangjun and went back to get kitchen utensils to deal with the wild boar.

"Okay!" Dafeng was the most motivated person at this job. He carried a wild boar weighing nearly 200 kilograms. This pig was really big.

Chen Guangjun knew that the girls were not skilled in handling such a large prey on their own, so he took a rest and walked to the dam. Sure enough, he saw He Yuxin had sharpened the knife but didn't know where to start.

With the help of Chen Guangjun, the wild boar was quickly processed. Several people moved the pork to the kitchen, and it was time to make a fire and cook.

Two large pots were brought out from the kitchen, and the pork bones were put in to boil two large pots of bone soup, enough for everyone to have a meal.

On the second day, Wu Bin gathered everyone together and prepared to form a team to go out and look for supplies, with one request: anything that could be used could be brought back.

The first group was led by Qiao Xinghua, and the team was based on voluntary participation. In order to motivate team members to participate, they were required to keep 10% of any supplies found outside as a condition.

At the same time, a new distribution system was announced. Meng Zihan is currently formulating a new policy to initially establish the team's honor points and contribution points, and may issue contribution point coupons.

Currently, there seem to be two types of coupons for exchanging supplies. One is the rated coupons, which are distributed once a week and only support the exchange of limited food.

The other is special contribution points, which are obtained by completing team missions or important work, and have a much wider range of redemption.

In short, it is similar to the previous currency.

Wu Bin informed everyone of the policy that would be implemented. From now on, the fleet’s supplies would be obtained for a fee in order to adapt to new development needs.

But as long as everyone works together, life will only get better.

After listening to the introduction of the new policy, everyone rushed to sign up to go out. In this last days, there is no need to keep useless people. What's more important is that people can keep 10% of the supplies for themselves when they go out, which becomes attractive after the implementation of the new distribution system.

Ten people were confirmed to be on the trip, driving four trucks. Everyone was annoyed that there were not more places available. Wu Bin promised that the situation would be optimized when the departments were reallocated, and then everyone would have equal opportunities.

"Here!" Chen Guangjun handed a Type 95 light machine gun to Qiao Xinghua, and almost all other members were given a gun. In the future, all those who go out will be equipped with guns.

"Wait for my good news!" Qiao Xinghua took it with a smile, turned around, climbed into the car and set off with his men.

Everyone watched the four cars leave. Perhaps this will become the norm in the future.

"Don't worry too much, he knows his limits!" He Yuxin comforted Meng Zihan who had been clenching her fists.

Meng Zihan sighed. She wanted to go, but Qiao Xinghua refused and was very tough.

Looking at Meng Zihan's leaving back, He Yuxin sighed and turned to look at Wu Bin.

Wu Bin had no expression, but he was still praying in his heart. Every time he went out, it meant unknown risks.

Wouldn't it be safer if we established a base outside to provide dedicated support for the operation?

At this stage, the power station does not require too many people and can mobilize a lot of personnel, but it is estimated that there will be a shortage of manpower in the later stages.

"Brother Tao, just come with us, everything will be fine." Wu Bin said.

"You should go and talk to Zi Han." He Yuxin shook her head helplessly and walked away to do today's work.

Seeing that everyone had work to do, Wu Bin felt as if he was the only one with nothing to do.

"Brother Bin, Brother Bin, I received a reply!"

Dafeng's voice suddenly came from the walkie-talkie on his waist. He had brought Lan Yuxuan to the signal tower early in the morning.

"Copy that, please speak!"

"Brother Bin, you'd better come over. We received a signal that is very important!" Dafeng's tone was rarely serious.
