The return of natural disasters before the end of the world

The people who stayed in the yard saw them coming back, and hurried over to help them get things in the rain. Some people were curiously looking at the things they brought back in the cafeteria on the first floor.When I walked in along the road yesterday, I found that there were many things that I had never seen before on the stalls of some roadside vendors, and I felt very novel.

Li Zhengrong didn't keep up when he went to the dungeon to trade this time, and he had to keep a few skilled people guarding the yard.After all, it is too conspicuous for so many of them to exchange supplies, what if someone is tempted to grab it directly? !

However, the law and order here seemed to be really good. When they were looking out on the second floor, two groups of patrolling people walked past here in one afternoon.

There is a lot of rain here, so some moisture-proof and waterproof measures are done very well. The whole bag of salt and some special products here are all dry and not wet at all when they are brought back.

Li Zhengrong grabbed a villager to ask about his trip to the dungeon today, and a group of people who had never been there gathered around and listened with gusto.Fang Jinlei set up the pot and started cooking dinner.I have been busy outside all afternoon, and the sky here is not as dark as it was after ten o'clock in their place.

Some people think it's strange, it's obviously on the same piece of land, why are the hours of darkness different? !

In a pot of boiling water, Fang Jinlei used a spoon to throw the prepared gnocchi into it. Skillfully and quickly, cute little white dumplings rolled around in the water.As the seasoning is added little by little, the fragrance slowly dissipates. Those who have eaten it will be hungry again, and those who have not eaten it will be even hungrier.

Fang Jinlei cut some pumpkin dices and threw them into the pot. The pumpkin is resistant to storage. When he came out, he brought a small pumpkin, which was almost eaten along the way, and probably enough to cook another meal.After the cooking in the pot becomes more and more viscous, put the pot aside and cover it for a while, and when you uncover it again, it will be a fragrant, soft, smooth and delicious gnocchi.

Lei Lang sniffed. He really didn't pay attention when he was busy. On the way back, he was excited about today's harvest. Now he smelled the aroma of food, and suddenly felt that he was so hungry that his chest was on his back.Just as he was about to rush over to ask for food, Fang Jinlei went upstairs with the gnocchi in his hand.

Cheng Hui handed over today's harvest to several soldiers: "Take it up and put it away. Today the villagers exchanged things and distributed them separately. We will go to set up a stall tomorrow. Which one of you will go tomorrow, or if you have anything you want to exchange? Get ready today, you've worked hard today, everyone go to bed early!" After saying that, he went upstairs after the pot of gnocchi.

When Lei Xiao came back, he didn't go to the cafeteria on the first floor, but went upstairs directly. When Fang Jinlei cooked something and served it, he had already opened several packets of lo mei and put them on disposable dinner plates.Lei Lang smelled the fragrance when he came in, and rushed over screaming: "I'm starving to death! I feel like one pot is not enough!"

Cheng Hui picked up a bowl and ate a few mouthfuls, and then said: "They have a kind of wood core here, which is resistant to fire. It also grew out of nowhere in the past two years. It grows very fast and reproduces a lot."

Fang Jinlei was listening on the sidelines. He was not a talkative person in the first place, so even if he was curious, he would not talk too much to ask questions.It's just to see whose bowl is finished and continue to fill it up, it's very virtuous!

Lei Lang was only busy frying things today, he didn't pay attention to any good things here, and asked curiously: "Brother Cheng Hui, haven't you been busy all the time? What wooden core? How do you know?"

Cheng Hui laughed and said, "This is called looking around and listening to all directions! Observing the surrounding environment is the most important thing in a strange place. You are still young, learn more!"

Lei Lang pouted, picked up a stewed chicken leg and started to chew.When I go out, I basically eat what I bring with me, and at most I exchange some when passing through some small towns, but no one is willing to exchange those fresh vegetables.The weather is hot, even if you bring some meat, you will eat it in the first few days, and you can't store it at all.

Whenever this time, he misses the space of his four sons very much.But even if Si'er came out with him, at most he was hiding from his family to enjoy his mouth.

Lei Xiao ate two bowls of gnocchi with some pancakes baked by Fang Jinlei in the afternoon, and then put down the bowls and chopsticks: "How much salt does your army need? Our family doesn't change the salt, the whole family uses it for oily fruit, firewood, and Mizutengko, there are only three kinds."

Lei Lang continued to ask questions: "What is Mizutengko?"

"A kind of grass vine contains a lot of water and can be stored for a long time." According to the experience of the people here, as long as it is placed in a cool place, that kind of water vine can be stored for more than half a year.For their family, it only takes a month, and it doesn't matter how long they return home and let Si'er take it into the space.In this way, even if the draft is tight in the future, they still have a way out.

Cheng Hui raised his eyebrows: "Your family doesn't change the salt? There are many? I probably only changed the four things I brought this time. Salt is for sure. Wood fire, oil fruit, water vine, and others they have here Yes, there are basically all of them in the city, as long as you get the salt back, the rest will be cheap to exchange. Especially the food here, the exchange price is several times that of ours, it seems that the food shortage here is more serious than ours many"

Lei Lang said: "The shortage of food is serious, but they have a lot of strange things here, the fire wood, water vines, and oily fruits you mentioned, these were never before, what is it? What mutated? This world is so complicated that I can't understand it at all!"

Of course, Cheng Hui also had this kind of temptation in his heart. It's not that no one has connected all of this with the fog before the end of the world, but without any equipment, he couldn't detect anything if he tried to detect it.

But the saying that there are many masters among the people is still very correct.There is a radio station in Yuncheng. When the world's equipment cannot be used, the existence of this radio station is naturally quite precious.Lei Xiao had only learned the principle of this equipment and how to use it at the beginning, as long as he knew how to use it and how to repair it, there was really no way for him to improve it.

"If you have the previous equipment, can Du Heng improve the radio stations that are available now?"

Cheng Hui shook his head without even thinking about it: "First of all, the base station is not something we can handle. We don't have the strength of a large city like Yuncheng. Now it's not what it used to be. We don't even know how chaotic the earth's magnetic field is. It's impossible for Du Heng to be alone."

Lei Xiao also thought of this at the beginning, first of all there must be a base station carrying radio signals, otherwise everything is just empty talk.

Cheng Hui sighed and said, "It might as well be more practical to raise pigeons, but now even flying pigeons to pass on letters is probably not reliable, maybe someone will shoot them down and roast them."

"Raising pigeons is better than raising Haidongqing, they can fly higher and faster," Lei Lang said while sweeping the tray silently.But even if it is Haidongqing, not to mention that it is impossible to get it, even if it is trained and released, it will probably become someone else's meal.You can eat mud, what else can't you eat?

Fang Jinlei packed up the finished dishes and put them away. The bowls are steel bowls, just wash them.The plates are all disposable, and Yao Ziqing packed a lot when they came out.

Lei Lang burped, lying on the bed and didn't want to move.

Lei Xiao pulled him up: "Go down and sort out the things you got back from selling the grasshoppers today, and put them away in categories. You can first exchange grain with the villagers who won't go to the dungeon tomorrow."

Lei Lang sighed silently, had no choice but to get up from the bed, yelled at Fang Jinlei to come down to help after washing the dishes, and went downstairs with his fan and slippers on.

After seeing Lei Lang go out, Cheng Hui looked away and looked at Lei Xiao: "The animals in our place multiply very fast, and there are many new species here. Is this a kind of natural selection? Maybe, the whole world will be reset in the future. Cards, slowly evolving again?!"

Lei Xiao didn't make a sound. He and Si'er had guessed about this a long time ago. It's just that no matter whether it's animals or plants, it can be said that there has been obvious evolution. However, although humans are gradually adapting, more and more people have been eliminated. , and adapt very slowly.No one has been able to survive ultraviolet light until now.

Cheng Hui stroked his stubble-covered chin, and said in a whimsical way: "If we could steal that set of radio equipment, what would you say? It would be much more convenient to send messages, but even if we have the equipment, there is no energy source." It’s useless without electricity, is the sun in our place useful for solar power generation?”

Lei Xiao shook his head directly: "No, the solar energy has exploded directly, but the diesel generator can be used."

"Hey, it's useless if it works, no gas, no generator"

"I have"

Cheng Hui suddenly cast his gaze on Lei Xiao, which was as bright as a laser light: "Tell me honestly, how many good things have you hidden?!"

Lei Xiao just leaned on the bed, and said in a calm tone: "Yuncheng is just the beginning, death and riots are everywhere, the government is powerless to supervise, and there is no way to change this situation, so-called refuge bases have sprung up one after another, and the country There are too many divisions, the military and government cannot be unified, and the local forces are too purposeful. There are countless lands like this to be kings. Now it is a chaotic world. In a chaotic world, there is no country to speak of."

Cheng Hui didn't know that those politicians sat firmly in high positions one by one, only pointing fingers, the military department has long been quite dissatisfied, and even some high-ranking people have already started to divide, wanting to hold all power in their hands control the entire country.As for those who were sent out, they were only centrists, neither of the two forces relied on them. If they were not for their military ranks, their superiors had some say, and they would have been victims of politics long ago.

So either all of a sudden everything goes back to normal one day, or it gets worse and worse, and the whole country falls apart.Natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people are in dire straits, and now we can foresee the misery in the future.

Cheng Hui took out a pack of cigarettes and matches from under his pillow, lit one, took a few puffs with squinted eyes, and slowly fell silent.There is no oil fruit in the room, it is pitch black, only a little red light from the cigarette butt, which looks a bit weird in the dark room.

Lei Xiao looked at him quietly for a while, then suddenly said: "Wan'an Town is not too big, nor is it too small. If you have weapons, do you want to build your own base, an independent base that has nothing to do with the government?"
