Apocalyptic Tundra Age

To be honest, this dish is not very tasty, with less salt and less oil, no seasoning, all in all it is edible.Xu Zhonglei sent seasoning to the village during the earthquake before, and he probably finished eating it. Now, even the salt has to be saved.

But Xu Zhonglei and Cheng Yuming still ate up all the rice and vegetables. In the end, there was only a little soup and water left in the pot of vegetable rice cakes. cauldron.

After nightfall, the temperature becomes colder, but the drying room still has the heat from cooking. The big guys sit, stand, and brag about poker, and they don't want to go back.

Xu Zhonglei leaned on his mouth to watch them play cards, and was suddenly dragged outside. When he arrived at another drying room not far from this room, Xu Zhonglei found that the person pulling him was Xu Zhiping. It was as if invisible, only his white teeth could be seen.

"Have they all arrived?"

"Come on, what are you doing!"

"Brother Zhiping..."

Xu Zhonglei roughly heard four or five people, and the voices were familiar, but it was so dark that the faces could not be seen clearly.

"It's all here, so I won't talk nonsense. With so many people gone, it's easy to see, so I'll make a long story short." Xu Zhiping said.

It's all like underground party joints, Xu Zhonglei complained in his heart.

"I work in engineering. I must say that we are short of things now. Lack of decoration materials, lack of oil, lack of meat, and the most sad thing is the lack of salt." Xu Zhiping paused, "Everyone in our village wants to eat something Temporary purchase, when the earthquake occurred in dozens of houses in the whole village, a total of more than 60 bags of salt were dug out, even if you save some food, the salt is not enough for dozens of people in our village to eat for the first half of the year."

"It's been two months, right?" someone said.

"Yes, we are short of salt, too much salt! So let's find everyone and discuss the countermeasures."

"Cough cough." It was Uncle Guosheng's tactical cough, but he couldn't stop it at once. He coughed for a long time before it stopped. "People in our village buy salt at the grocery store or department store in the town."

"I can't go to that place! So many people died in the town. Dogs eat human flesh and eat red eyes. If you want to go, you will lose half your life."

"I remember that there was a woman in my Baiyang village. When there was an infectious disease, she asked someone to drive a large truck to drag a truck full of salt back. I don't know if she finished eating."

"Yes, yes, there is a small supermarket in Baiyang Village, just beside the road. His house must have salt, oil, melons, fruits and peanuts..."

"I also know about that woman. Their village took this incident as a joke, saying that the salt was stored in the cellar behind her home, and she ate it bag after bag. She didn't finish eating it for more than ten years. The tea and cured fish in her house are too salty to die for!"

……

Xu Zhiping listened for a while, and saw that everyone had nothing new to say, so he concluded by himself: "I have been to the small supermarket in Baiyang Village, and I wanted to take a few people to bring back the small supermarket from the beginning. The more salt, the better. Okay, let’s also go and see the hut’s house, Xu Dali, do you know how to get to the hut’s house where you bought salt?”

"I know, I know. When you and I were curious, we even glanced at the backyard of the house. There is indeed a cellar dug in the back hill and covered with bricks."

"Hurry up! Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year. We are not in the mood to work here, but we are fine, and we are free when we are free. Xu Dali over there, lead the team, seven or eight people, and look through the cellar. , and the rest will go to the supermarket in Baiyang Village with me, and move all the supermarkets back. Other things are secondary, pay attention to finding salt!" Xu Zhiping gave a plan, "I will tell the villagers in a while, you Nod your head and stir up the atmosphere."

Those who came responded one after another: "Yes, yes, I understand..."

Xu Zhonglei: ...? ? ?

Is this joining the legendary village committee team?A meet-and-greet feels like an underground party meeting?

It's just that it's too dark to see anyone in the village committee.

*

On the first day of the new year, it was still raining.

Xu Zhonglei and Cheng Yuming put on full raincoats, carried hoes and crowbars, and followed the village team for more than an hour before reaching the only supermarket in Baiyang Village.

The 10-minute journey by electric car is really exhausting to walk now.

"It's here, it's here! It's just around the corner."

"Are you sure? Where's the supermarket?"

"Fuck, why is there no sign of a supermarket?"

"Here! The supermarket has sunk!"

Xu Zhonglei has never been to this place. He has always stayed at home and received express delivery. He is not interested in these small supermarkets that stock up a lot of things and sell them at a higher price. But when he got there, he found that it is not a small supermarket. There are definitely Guang'an ones. Convenience stores such as Family Mart and 7-11 are four or five times larger.

The heavy rain washed away the ruins, revealing the faint wrapping paper of fireworks and firecrackers, as well as the rocking car played by children. It seems that this small supermarket has a very wide range of business.

The small supermarket is built next to the road, and the whole is in a small basin. The first floor was originally built under the road, and the second floor was connected with the road by a railway station. Now, the old railway station is lying across and is collapsing. Among the ruins, there are spots of rust.

When the earthquake hit, the entire supermarket collapsed in the basin, and even the soil under the roadbed was taken down. The quality of the road in this township is also good, otherwise it would have collapsed.

"Brother Zhiping? Look here?" A young man shouted.

Looking down from the road, this small supermarket is four or five meters away from them in a straight line, and the cross-section is a large piece of soft red soil, which is mocking: "Grandma, come here, I will throw you down kill you."

Landslides brought on by the earthquake and heavy rains seem to have caused a lot of trouble for the excavation.

Xu Zhonglei carefully observed the terrain and the section of the landslide, and then pulled the wild vines on the side of the road.

Twenty or so people were squatting on the side of the road and arguing. No one dared to go down. It was okay to play. Who knows if there is a steel bar standing under the soft soil. If it is accidentally poked in, it can be buried on the spot. up.

"This thing can rub rope, I'll try it." Cheng Yuming leaned over to look at it, Xu Zhonglei cut off a section with a hoe and asked him to hold it, and rub it on it himself.

This wild vine was quite thick and long, and Xu Zhonglei took a long time to pull it to the end. After a little gesture, it was about ten meters away. Xu Zhonglei's eyes lit up, and he walked to the hill beside the road, looking for another one.

This thing has a long nest, and if you walk a little, you can see a small pool with wild vines growing in it, so many that Xu Zhonglei came out again and called Cheng Yuming, asking him to take a hoe and cut wild vines together.

"Look! Good stuff!" When the two came down from the mountain, they dragged a large piece of vines.

"Rope, it's over! Xu Chuang has gone down!" Xu Zhiping slapped his head and shouted.

Xu Zhonglei saw a person in a blue raincoat struggling to move along the section of the landslide.
