The return of natural disasters before the end of the world

Lei Lang did meet Lei Xiao and the others on the way, seeing that they were going to the town, he followed them into the car.He Wu didn't hide the things in his own lair, but in the abandoned basement of a residential building.

These things were also discovered by He Wu by accident. In addition, there were a lot of rice noodles and other things, which were probably snatched from Fanjia Village.Lei Lang felt a little headache looking at these things, Si'er had space, and he had already realized that something was wrong, so he made preparations early.

Although he didn't know how many things were stored in Si'er's space, according to the second brother's personality of planning for a rainy day, and Si'er's temperament of becoming more and more hamsters later, I am afraid that there would be more than enough for their family to eat for a lifetime.

So there is no shortage of food, and these things may be obtained by stepping on other people's lives. Lei Lang feels that if he just accepts them like this, he will feel somewhat disturbed in his conscience.After all, he has not yet felt the cruelty of the end times. Now that he has food and drink in the village, the biggest difference from the peaceful days is that it is inconvenient without all kinds of electrical appliances, and he still has some kindness in his heart.

Lei Xiao counted the quantity of the two boxes of firearms, there were only about twenty of them in total, and the rest were bullets.These things are not too much, and people with a little background can get them.Lei Xiao didn't bother about the source of these things, anyway, He Wu will die soon.

Although he didn't kill him, throwing him out of the woods and letting him fend for himself was just letting him live a few more days.Gunshot wounds are the most susceptible to infection if left untreated.What's more, the bullet hadn't been taken out yet, and he didn't need to untie the wrapped cloth to know that the wound had pus in the hot weather.

He Wu couldn't be kept. Just based on what he did to Fanjia Village, it wasn't hard to see that he had no humanity at all.It was nothing more than grabbing food, but he actually threw a baby who was less than one year old to death on the spot.If this kind of tyrannical person is kept, it will only become a disaster.

When he turned around and saw them struggling with a lot of rice noodles, Lei Xiao couldn't help but twitch his brows: "Move back first."

It was only now that Lei Lang and the others came to their senses, how to deal with it was secondary, the most important thing was to move back first.Whether it is returned to the robbed households in Fanjia Village or divided among them, they cannot stay here any longer!

Yao Ziqing cooked a large pot of soy milk, which was sweet and full of bean aroma, and the taste was not inferior to that of soy milk with soy milk essence added.Grandma drank a big bowl to save face.Because I made too much, I simply distributed some to the neighbors.It just so happened that Lu Xueyi and the others came back, so they sent some things to express their condolences.It's a pity that when he passed by, that guy was sleeping on his back, and there was no response to tickling him.

"It seems that the way back is really hard, look at this tired."

Lu Xueyi's grandmother hadn't recovered from the surprise of her children and grandchildren's return, and the corners of her eyes and brows were filled with unstoppable joy: "That's right, I heard that the journey was dangerous!"

Yao Ziqing said with a smile: "Then I'll go first, let him rest enough and then come to play with me."

"Hey, I guess the first thing he did when he woke up was to find you. Thank you for the soy milk, which came all the way!"

"No, it's only a few steps away. Then I'll go first. Goodbye, Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu."

After Yao Ziqing left, Xu Pinlan said to her husband: "Now I can finally feel at ease. Ziqing is a good child. Let Xueyi interact with their family more. The world is in chaos. Our family has a small population, so we should have more." There's no harm in having friends."

Lu Mingyou saw how worried she was, smiled and shook his head helplessly: "You, you are just worrying. They have a good relationship. If you ask for it deliberately, it will be superfluous. Maybe it will not be good. , let nature take its course, children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

Xu Pinlan thought so too, some things would be counterproductive if forced.Looking at the soy milk on the table, I filled a bowl for my wife.

Lu Mingyou took a sip and let out a long sigh: "We are better than many people these days. We have food and drink, and we can sleep peacefully at night. How many people can be as happy as us!"

Yao Ziqing sent a circle of soy milk, but Uncle Gao Ming and the others were not at home, so they were probably still dealing with Lei Mengni's affairs.Not long after I got home, I sat and chatted with my elder brother for a while, when I heard the sound of a car approaching, I hurried downstairs.Sure enough, seeing that the person who came back was the second brother, he ran over quickly.

A lot of things were piled up in the backyard, Lei Xiao asked Lei Lang and Lei Li to put two boxes of dangerous things into the cellar first.Yao Ziqing moved a small stool and sat at the door, watching them busy.After calling Lei Zheng and the others, they discussed the whereabouts of the food.

In the end, the food was moved to the cellar of Lei Zheng's house. After all, if you hand it over, it might cause a lot of trouble.People don't think you have humanity and conscience, they only think that you are willing to hand over so much, and whether there are more things hidden.It will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, grandma asked them to take some Liangpi back home.These things are easy to make, and once they are made, they are a big pot.It is rare for their family to eat such a large amount of food at one time.

The brothers washed up, and Yao Ziqing put a lot of ice cubes in the room.He bought a lot of magic ice before, which is an ice bag, and when the water bag inside is squeezed, it can quickly freeze into ice.When I was in high school, I did an experiment with raw saltpetre, which can absorb heat and freeze when it melts with water.But this thing has a certain degree of instability, Yao Ziqing did not dare to try it in large quantities.

I simply bought this kind of magic ice and took out the powder in bags. After all, it has been refined and it is safer.After use, put it in the yard to dry, and it can continue to be used.Every day, three large pots of magic ice are kept cool in the room.

Lei Lang sprayed some water on his body from time to time, and then fanned it with a fan, and lamented pitifully: "This is not a time before liberation, it is simply a return to ancient times, and there was no global warming in ancient times. , how many times cooler than ours!"

Yao Ziqing took the small watering can and sprayed water on him fiercely: "Come on, you! Our house is good enough, you go to other people's house to see, who can have this treatment!"

Lei Lang didn't dodge at all, and moved his body to make Si'er spray more evenly: "Above, right, left, oops, don't spray in my ear, right, down, ah~ comfortable!"

The batch of goods smuggled from the supermarket in the town had to be taken back, and Yao Ziqing had to be involved in this matter.For this matter, Yao Ziqing went to the town several times to release all the things in advance, and followed them back and forth several times.

Seeing the cellar at home getting fuller and fuller, Lei Zheng felt more at ease.Ma Chen and the others live in the old house of Lei Xiao's family. That house does not have a cellar, because the terrain is not very good and it is not suitable for building a cellar.So I just put everything in Lei Xiao's place, anyway, if the team leader can't trust him, there will be no one in this world who can be trusted.

The bazaar in the town was taken over by Mubai, so they were relatively close to the bazaar.After being frightened by He Wu and the others that day, the people in the market trembled for several days.If they are not required to set up stalls, where will their rations come from.Fortunately, Mubai and the others are more humane, and they only charge a small amount of booth fees per day to ensure their safety.

Three days later, Fang Jinlei and Ma Chen delivered the chicken to the agreed place.Seeing that Lei Xiao and the others didn't come this time, Mu Bai wasn't surprised.The first time I came to test the water, I had a solid understanding of the general form, and naturally I didn’t need to work hard the second time.

Ma Chen was still feeling emotional in the car on the return journey: "I think it's better for us to go to Nanjiang Province by ourselves and find out the news. Now the environment is so closed, and we don't know anything about the outside situation. It's too closed!"

Fang Jinlei just listened to him and didn't talk to him.In fact, he didn't agree with them running the goods by themselves. Maybe they could get more profits, but the risks were equal.Since you can be a fisherman, why bother to spend so much energy.

Looking at the vegetables on the table, Lu Xueyi almost burst into tears: "Yao Nai, you don't know how my parents and I got here in those days, and we almost swallowed them with water and raw rice!"

Grandma hasn't been out of the village very much, but the work and rest time has changed in the morning and evening, and the rest is actually not much different from before.They also seldom talk to her about outside affairs.Just looking at the severe weather, I know that it must be difficult outside, and I never thought it would be so difficult.

"It's so indigestible, can you swallow it?" Lei Lang thought of that scene, and his whole expression became a little hideous.

Lu Xueyi glanced at him contemptuously: "You have to know that the desire to survive is a human instinct, and for that matter, it would be nice to have rice for you to swallow!"

This is a big truth, Yao Ziqing is deeply touched.Not to mention swallowing raw rice, that is simply an extravagant wish.Bean cakes and corn cakes are the staple food every day. In winter, snow can be turned into water. In summer, I don’t know how many people die of thirst and sunburn every day.Thinking back then, compared to now, it is simply the difference between heaven and hell.

Lu Xueyi was still talking about what he had seen and heard all the way from the city, and the grandma who heard it was also taken aback. "It's really just smashing the door with an axe, no one cares? Oh, how restless it is to sleep!"

"No, I haven't slept well all day. The most important thing is that there is no water. Isn't that the asphalt road in the city? You can melt the soles of your shoes if you step on it. The surface temperature is definitely over [-] Already!"

Lei Zheng couldn't listen anymore, and knocked on the table: "Is there a bit of technical content? You are still a college student. Do you think you are walking in boiling water at [-] degrees?"

"Describe! Describe!" Lu Xueyi rolled his eyes: "The village is full of dirt roads, of course you can't face and feel the horror of the asphalt road under the scorching sun!"

"Did the people in the city go to the countryside? Before God, there should be no gap between the rich and the poor, and those rich people can't make the temperature lower."

"I don't know. The rich may be, but the powerful may not be. Anyway, there is a centralized refuge base in the city, and many people have gone to the refuge base."

Lei Li and the others immediately became interested. It was the first time they had heard of this refuge base.Lei Xiao also glanced sideways at Lu Xueyi, but it was not as big as their reactions.The secret mission of the army at that time was probably this refuge base.

Lu Xueyi didn't know much about the situation, so he just gave a general introduction: "Every province has one, and it's in the school district. There are many schools and open spaces. The government has surrounded a large area and remodeled it a little bit. , even the classrooms have become independent houses. Anyway, I heard that it is still being repaired slowly, and only three meals a day are provided, but the premise is that you have to pay. Isn’t the electronic equipment failing now? Physical labor."

Lei Zheng pushed Lei Lang, and asked curiously: "If the village can't survive, will you go to that refuge base?"

"How is that possible! If the village can't go on, then I'm afraid it's really over, the refuge base, come on, who knows whether to take refuge or die!"

Their family has a big baby like Si'er, if they can't go on like this, I'm afraid not many people will die on the earth.At that time, why bother to struggle, just lie down and wait to die!

Hearing the news brought back by Lu Xueyi, the last sliver of extravagant hope for the world to return to normal order also came to nothing.It's better to stay in your own field honestly, at least there is a sustenance.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the sun had just set in the west.The heat on the ground has not subsided, it is almost like walking on the stove.The hot air rose directly from the ground, and most of the surrounding plants had already died.Lei Li squatted on the ridge of the field, looking at his own land, a little silent.

The corn stalks are almost dead, the reservoir over there is basically dry, and the pond in the village has already bottomed out, and the water level is now just below the feet.In about two days, it can dry into mud.

Lei Taosheng walked over, walked to Lei Li's side and sat down without hesitation, looking at the almost dead fields in front of him, he couldn't hide the desolation in his heart: "Just now I went to see the land of my house, tsk, it's alive For so many years, I haven’t seen such a land, so I guess there won’t be any harvest this time, right?”

Lei Li nodded, and sighed softly: "I can only collect some corn stalks and cook on fire. I don't know how to live in July and August. It's scary to think about it!"

How the world has become like this, Lei Li couldn't figure it out, and probably everyone couldn't figure it out.Originally, the village planned to dig a deep well, but I heard that Lijia Village has been digging for half a month, and there is still no drop of water.

Lei Li didn't stay in the field for long, and went straight home.Lei Taosheng squatted silently for a while, looking at the desolate scene in front of him, he only felt that the future would be like the cornfield in front of him at this moment, withered and lifeless.

Fang Jinlei still has [-] chickens. Yao Ziqing gave him an idea to kill a few chickens every day, marinate them with seasonings, and then bring them to the market to sell.This kind of fried food is very fragrant and attractive, especially when it is still in such a state of inactivity. If this stall is set up there, there will definitely be a long queue!

Fang Jinlei just wanted to get rid of these chickens, and the hotter weather really couldn't afford to wait.There is a well of his own in the backyard of his house, but after a day of cultivation, there is only one pot that can be drilled.He can't eat by himself, so where else can he clean the chicken coop.

After listening to Si'er's words, he found a lot of seasonings from the things he got for free in the supermarket.Those chili powder and cumin powder are packed by the catty, but although it looks like a lot, it probably won't take long.

Lei Lang watched Si'er come up with ideas randomly, and saw that Fang Jinlei actually listened. He just felt that their two brain circuits were not from the same country as him: "These things are all flavor-enhancing, and they are more durable. It's so wasteful now." It's not worth it!"

Yao Ziqing waved his hand: "It's okay, as long as you can make money now!"

A chicken, with its internal organs taken out, is actually not much.Yao Ziqing collected all the chicken feathers, washed them to remove the smell, and dried them in the sun, maybe they could be useful in the future.They didn't use much for the first time, about ten of them, and if they couldn't be sold, several of them big men could kill them without wasting them.

The internal organs of the chicken were kept, and grandma cleaned the chicken kidneys. This thing is not easy to handle, and it is easy to get sick if it is not clean. Put it in a special pot.Some people like to eat chicken offal, and there are many choices.

Fang Jinlei handled a total of twelve chickens, but two of them were used to try the craft first, and they were all cooked for them to taste.Not to mention, it is marinated and then rolled in the oil pan, sprinkled with chili powder and cumin powder, not to mention how delicious it is.

Lu Xueyi loves to gnaw on bones, and he killed two chicken pieces by himself.The ribs are fried very crispy, and there is a crunching sound when you bite into it, and you can swallow it directly after chewing.

In fact, most people don’t like to eat chicken breast meat, it’s not tasty, and the meat is relatively dry, but chicken breast meat is the most meaty besides chicken legs. Bar.

Yao Ziqing gave Fang Jinlei a thumbs up, biting the chicken wing in his mouth and nodding vigorously.As long as the seasoning is sufficient, the taste will never be bad.

Lei Lang was a little entangled with the price: "How much was it before, but now? How many catties of rice?"

Lei Li thought for a while and said: "It doesn't have to be rice, wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, etc., as long as you can eat something, and exchange it in an appropriate amount, but it's troublesome without a common currency!"

Yao Ziqing thought about it. When he was in the refuge base in his previous life, he seemed to have always used food as currency. They were all kinds of pancakes, which filled his stomach and were durable.It was just scratched with bare hands, it was very dirty.

However, these things are probably not suitable for the village. After all, no one has a grain storage of hundreds or thousands of catties, and most of the corn flour and soybean flour are carried in sacks, and now they can only use grain directly.

Yao Ziqing turned to look at the second brother, looking forward to it: "Let's go too, anyway, the ground is dead anyway, and it can't be saved, so it's good to go out and let the wind go."

Lei Xiao nodded, it is still necessary to go to the town more.Otherwise, the news is too closed, and the situation has changed without knowing it.

Mu Bai followed the car and left, but before he left, he specially said hello, if he meets Lei Xiao and his group again, he must treat him politely.It happened to be Nan Tian who was guarding the market today.

Seeing them coming by bike, they quickly greeted them with a smile: "Why do you change to riding a bike today? Recently, a few new stalls have been opened, selling imported blankets and the like. If you are interested, you can take a look."

Ma Chen has also dealt with him several times, and he is relatively familiar, so he shook his head directly: "I'm not here for shopping today, the focus is on the back, is there anything better? It doesn't need many people, just a big venue!"

"That's easy to say. There is a turning point in front of it, and the national road is beyond it. The back is a bit off, but the venue is big enough!"

"Okay, let's go there!"

Nan Tian personally took them to the place mentioned just now, probably because the back was relatively remote, a little gloomy and unsafe, so even if it was a turning point, not many people were willing to set up stalls here, but they were quite satisfied.

After Nan Tian took them there, they saw that they lifted the cover covering the car. There was a stove for lighting a fire, a large pot, and there were many barrels underneath. But the smell of powder.

Nan Tian sniffed, it was a long-lost scent.Even though they have a lot of supplies, they have no water, no fruits and vegetables, and they just eat white rice mixed with various bean paste, mushroom sauce, beef sauce, etc. every day.It is very good to be able to do this. Many people can only chew on pancakes with a little salt, and that is the tongue suffering.Now smelling this smell, don't mention how greedy it is!

Seeing Nan Tian watching curiously, Ma Chen said with a hearty smile: "Wait a little longer, it will be done later, I'll give you a taste!"

Seeing that they were preparing to set up a food stall, Nan Tian was a little surprised.It's not that no one sells food in the market, but they are all grains that need to be brought back for processing later. They can be tasted directly. It seems that they plan to make snacks directly.I can't help but feel a little bit tongue-tied, oil is so precious nowadays, even gutter oil may not be available.There are also some seasonings, especially salt, which is a necessity for people, and it is even more difficult to find a catty.But it might not be cheap to do so.

"That's a good relationship. I'll just wait for the skills of the big brothers. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I smell it. I'm really hungry. My tongue is numb from mixing rice with sauce every day!"

Lu Xueyi leaned closer to Yao Ziqing and asked, "Who is this guy? I just saw a lot of vendors greeting him. Is he the leader of this area?"

"No, it's just a subordinate of the boss. This area should have been taken over by a person named Mu Bai. Mu Bai has been in contact with it, and it's not bad. At least he's not the kind of person who is devoid of conscience. He's not here today. Next time I will point out show you."

Lei Lang and Lei Zheng turned on the stove, and there was a liter drink bottle next to it, which contained golden yellow rapeseed oil.Pour it into the heated pan, wait for a while, and after the oil boils, Fang Jinlei puts the various chicken parts that have been marinated into the oil pan and starts frying.

The sound of crackling hot oil bubbles bursting, as the chicken pieces were evenly heated in the oil pan, gradually turning golden, the aroma of the chicken immediately overflowed.

The stall owners not far away sniffed their noses, smelling the long-lost fragrance, and almost went crazy with hunger.Word spread from ten to ten, and soon the whole market knew that there was a stall selling fried chicken.Now, the whole market was in a faint commotion.
