After the Earthquake of Rebirth

When Du Cheng got home, it was already dark, and he forgot to bring a charging flashlight, so Du Cheng walked upstairs in the dark.Once inside, it was pitch black.Feeling something approaching quickly, Du Cheng would almost have kicked it flying if he hadn't been familiar with the sound of Du Dabao running.

"Why so late?" Ning Qiyan also walked to the door in the dark, took Du Cheng with one hand, hugged Du Dabao with the other, and entered the space.

Ning Qiyan turned on the lights in the yard when it was just getting dark.When the two of them entered the space, they couldn't help squinting their eyes because of the light.

After adapting to the light, Ning Qiyan saw the big bag on Du Cheng's shoulder.

"Before I came back to see that you were not here, I took the bag and left. There are already many people rummaging through the ruins." Du Cheng said.

Ning Qiyan frowned, Du Cheng didn't realize that he couldn't enter the space at will, but looking at it now, it's really inconvenient.But getting a space for nothing is already a great blessing. If you think too much, you will be a little dissatisfied, and it is useless to think too much. He doesn't understand space, and there is no way to understand it.

Taking Du Cheng's bag was heavy, if Du Cheng hadn't been carrying it, Ning Qiyan would have almost missed it.

"What's all this, it's so heavy..." Before he finished speaking, Ning Qiyan stared at the bag he opened with wide eyes, and then looked at Du Cheng.

"...Where did you get these?"

It's no wonder that Ning Qiyan was surprised, a bag full of gold and silver jewelry almost blinded his eyes under the light.

"I passed a jewelry store on the way to sign up, and I went in to dig after dark." Du Cheng explained.

Ning Qiyan thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of such a jewelry store on the road less than 10 minutes from his home to the university town. Maybe Du Cheng took a detour to stop by when he went to sign up? !

"As long as you don't starve to death, someone will want it. And the army has already controlled the banks and large jewelry stores." Controlling these places is to prevent large quantities from being circulated. Since the higher authorities still value these, Du Cheng thinks there are many opportunities It sure doesn't hurt to collect some.

And there must be a lot of people like him who started with these things.After all, in everyone's impression, these things are very valuable.Even if the currency depreciates, this thing can always be exchanged for food!

Ning Qiyan looked at Du Cheng with complicated eyes, more with emotion.

People like him, who lived after an earthquake, didn't expect this. Even if Du Cheng hadn't been reborn, he would be better able to adapt to the living environment in the future than him.

Du Cheng was right. In the first two years, because of the food crisis and sudden changes in the environment, when people were still struggling with food and clothing, gold jewelry and other things were difficult to circulate, after all, these things could not fill their stomachs.But in the third year, the order began to stabilize. I don’t know whether it was government manipulation or nature. Gold and silver jewelry did start to appreciate rapidly, and because these things are not necessary, they will not be allowed to be mined and refined by the government for a long time in the future. It is conceivable that before the government releases the mining rights of these things, the value of gold and silver jewelry will only increase.

Of course, the premise is that the owner can keep things until then.

"Why don't I take a look around tomorrow?" Ning Qiyan felt a little moved after thinking about it.

Du Cheng smiled slightly, he liked to see Ning Qiyan's eyes glowing with anticipation.But still shook his head rationally.

"You can't, let's not say whether you can find it or not, even if you find it, you will be watched."

But Du Cheng himself was able to avoid the sight of others.

Nine years in prison, even if he didn't know anything before, under the influence of such a crowd and environment, it is easy to get started with dark things.

He was thinking last night that nine years of prison life might be a gift from God to him.It is easy for him to find a way to survive in such a broken social order, and he is more adaptable to the life of the jungle and the jungle than most people.Only in this way can he protect Ning Qiyan better and stand by his side forever to protect him.And Ning Qiyan just needs to be himself as he is now.There was no need to force him into the darkness.

Ning Qiyan was a little disappointed, but he also understood that what Du Cheng said was correct, in case of meeting someone, with his small stature, without Du Cheng by his side, he would just deliver food to others.

Du Cheng looked at Ning Qiyan's depressed expression, moved his fingers, but still couldn't hold back, he rubbed his hair.

"If you are not tired, you can take Dabao downstairs tomorrow and look for useful things in the places searched by the rescue team. The above only controls large supermarkets, grain stores and other places, and there are many groceries in residential areas. Shops and other small places are not solicited." Du Cheng said.

Ning Qiyan's eyes lit up and he nodded.During this time in his previous life, he had been recuperating at home. All the food sources were brought back by Du Cheng, who joined the rescue team during the day and dug through the ruins at night.Although there are a lot of supplies stored now, no one can have too much that can be eaten and used.

In the evening, I scrambled a plate of cucumbers and eggs, a plate of pickles, and a small pot of seaweed soup, which was quite a meal.

After eating and washing, the two of them went to bed early.

At dawn the next day, Ning Qiyan got up early to heat up a pot of stuffed steamed stuffed buns, then used the leftover rice from the previous night to sandwich pickles into five fist-sized rice balls, wrapped them in plastic wrap, and placed them in the Find it in the pocket, let Du Cheng take it out.As for the backpack on Du Cheng's shoulder, it was used to hold the things found in the ruins, and it was already dirty anyway.

After Du Cheng finished his breakfast and went out, Ning Qiyan returned to the space, walked through each fence, added food and water, and after checking, tied Du Dabao on a chain and led him out.

The community is very close to the University City, the damage in the nearby area is not very serious, and the rescue is very fast.Now the rescue team has gradually moved towards the urban area, so there are many survivors in the resettlement site who did not join the rescue team picking things up.Ning Qiyan led Du Dabao and did not stay nearby, but walked along the road to the city. About half an hour later, he could hear the shouts of the rescue team coming from the direction of the city, and Ning Qiyan stopped , look around.

Although it is still not far from the university town, it is an old town.Unlike the outer perimeter that was only built a few years ago, most of the underground drainage facilities and buildings here collapsed during the earthquake.

Tie the rope in his hand to his belt to ensure that Du Dabao would not get lost, Ning Qiyan searched near a collapsed bakery sign.

After roughly confirming the location, Ning Qiyan put on his gloves and began to clean up the broken masonry and window frames.Du Dabao was very obedient, he followed Ning Qiyan a step away, neither running around nor blocking the way.

Ning Qiyan picked the right location, avoiding the front half of the bakery, but started cleaning from a slightly inward position. After a while, he saw a disc that had been compressed and deformed. It looked like a cake. Turntable for decoration.After searching for a while, I found a few decorative candies in iron buckets.After confirming that the iron bucket was only slightly deformed but not damaged, Ning Qiyan put it into the backpack.Afterwards, he found a lot of flour, sugar, and other things, and he put aside the unsealed or damaged ones. Because the food pressure was not high, and the space and the things that could be stored at home were limited, Ning Qiyan only picked undamaged food for collection.

It took nearly half a day to renovate a single bakery, but the results are not cheap.Fifty catties of twelve bags of flour, sugar, chocolate, whipped cream, and more.

However, there were too many things, and Ning Qiyan couldn't directly put them into the space, so he felt a little worried about the packed things.

After struggling for a while, before he could figure out a solution, a dirty bus stopped on the side of the road.

Ning Qiyan looked up, and a head poked out of the window at the front of the bus.

The people in the car first looked at the pile that Ning Qiyan had piled up beside him, and then at the things that were also cleaned up not far away, but which he disliked, and their big white teeth were cracked.

"Brother, do you need help?"

Although the person who spoke had black streaks and gray streaks all over his body, it could still be seen that he was wearing a camouflage uniform.

Ning Qiyan felt relieved, and responded with a smile: "There are a lot of things, I can't take them back."

The door of the bus opened, and the talking young man jumped out of the bus, ran to Ning Qiyan in a few steps, pointed to the obviously damaged supplies in the distance and asked, "You don't want the things over there?"

Ning Qiyan shook his head, "The packaging over there is broken, I don't plan to take it away."

The young man laughed, "We'll send you back, and that pile of things will be used as travel expenses."

Ning Qiyan had no objection, anyway, it was something he didn't want, and if someone wanted it, it would be worth his effort to dig it out.

Following Ning Qiyan's nod, the young man beckoned, and three soldiers in camouflage uniforms got out of the car.First he helped to carry the things on Ning Qiyan's side into the car, and then moved to the other side.

After asking about the location of Ning Qiyan's house, the bus started immediately.

After getting into the car, Ning Qiyan realized that there were a dozen or so soldiers in this car, who were assigned to the resettlement site in the University City by the army. They had been rescued continuously for a day and a night, and now it was their turn to go back to rest.It was a windfall to be able to reap the pile of food that Ning Qiyan didn't want along the way.Although there is a lot of food distributed now, it cannot support their large activities. Even if they control the large food storage place immediately, there are still millions of survivors who need to be supplied, so they can only eat less than a few meals per meal. It's hard to get full when you're hungry.Moreover, as soldiers, they participated in the rescue and no one else could receive the treatment of double supplies.Now that saving people is the top priority, even though they know that there is a lot of food in the ruins, they don't think about whether to see how much is given and how much to eat.

But of course they would like to get some subsidies along the way.

The driver of the car was obviously familiar with the road conditions after the earthquake. He made seven turns and eight turns, and drove to Ning Qiyan's community in less than 10 minutes. Three soldiers came down to help Ning Qiyan carry his things upstairs. Ning Qiyan pretended to be He took out a box of Snickers bars from his backpack and stuffed it to the shy young man.

This is the travel expenses he gave. As for the things he didn't want after screening, it doesn't matter who takes them.
