Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Qin Huai would give Mu Nan a massage with medicated oil every day before going out and before going to bed, the injury was not too serious, probably because of the fall before, he twisted his waist, so Mu Nan massaged him with medicated oil for two days It's almost fine. Walking doesn't have much impact, but it still hurts to bend over to pick up things, but it's not a big problem. I'm lucky that I didn't hurt my muscles and bones.

So much so that Qin Huai has a smell of medicinal oil on his body at work these days. After all, the smell of medicinal oil is indeed a bit strong, and it is not easy to dissipate. Zhang Qi and the others thought that Qin Huai was injured, but they heard that it was just him. The man in the house froze, and then said: "The snow hasn't stopped for the past few days, the road is too slippery, and now there is no such condition to sprinkle salt or lay straw mats, there are so many people wrestling, and my neighbor next door broke his bone. It’s still a fracture of the tailbone, the family of five is counting on him, this fall may cause him to be unable to work for more than a month, and he looks sad every day, as if he can’t even pay for next month’s rent.”

Zhou Chuanghong clicked his tongue lightly: "A family of five depends on only one person?"

Zhang Qi held hot tea and drank it: "Three old people, a daughter-in-law and a child who is only seven or eight years old, and he has a family of six. This is a world of ice and snow, and a few old people in their 60s and 70s are going out to move bricks." Well, how can the rich old men and women in this city do it? There are not many things women can do now. The canteen cooks are all the family members of government employees. How can this kind of fat job be left to others? Even The cleaning was all scrambled for by others, and the repairers of the electric circuit barrels and pipes were all skilled workers. Even when they went to the small market to set up a stall, his house couldn’t produce anything. If he was not expected to be alone, what else could he do? .”

Zhou Chuanghong smiled and said: "I have more experience than you southerners in this kind of weather. I slipped and fell when I went out in the morning. Fortunately, I reacted quickly. When I fell, I tried to lie flat without my buttocks on the ground. I go to and from work every day." I walk carefully, as if I have returned to my hometown in Northeast China, but compared to others, I am more comfortable on my own, so I just need to take care of myself." Although I said so, my thoughts on my family must be Quite a few, but there is another brother above him, and his parents are with him. If he can survive the earthquake and have his brother take care of his parents, he doesn't worry so much. It's hard to say whether I will have a chance to go back and take a look in this life, and I can only think less about pessimistic things, let's just live every day.

Zhang Qi said: "It's not good to be alone, the road is too difficult to walk now, if you fall hard, there is no one to take care of you at home, how difficult it is."

Zhou Chuanghong looked at Qin Huai: "Brother Qin, is it okay for your family to be alone at home?"

Qin Huai said: "It's okay, I'm sprained, it's not serious, it won't affect my actions."

Zhou Chuanghong nodded: "It's probably not serious. Otherwise, Brother Qin, you must have asked for leave. With your posture of sending a message to ask questions in half an hour, how could you be willing to let the injured person stay at home by yourself?"

Just as he was talking, Qin Huai's phone vibrated, and when he picked it up, he saw that Mu Nan had sent a photo of the first piece of bean shreds, which was still steaming.

Qin Huai replied: "It's amazing, take it easy, don't sit or stand for a long time, walk around from time to time, and lie on the bed for a while."

Mu Nan sent a cute nodding emoji.

Zhang Qi said: "Then does your family's work affect?" They don't know the name of Qin Huai's family, and they feel that it's not good to ask rashly, so they always call your family that way.

Qin Huai put down the phone: "It's too cold, I asked him to stay at home."

The two people around Qin Huai suddenly became a little envious. It would be great if they didn't have to go out to work in the cold and snow. It's a pity that they didn't have that condition. Shu Bin, who was sitting opposite them, just looked up. His eyes at that moment were instinctive from Qin Huai's. After sweeping across his body, he quickly lowered his head and stared at his computer seriously.

At this moment, the weather station received the notification from the central government, and immediately submitted it to the upper level with a sad face. Looking at the data reported recently, it is not known whether their side can withstand the coming low temperature.

When it was lunch time, a few people tidied up their things and prepared to go to the cafeteria, but the squad leader in charge of their civil communication team came in first and said: "A cold snap is coming, everyone is on vacation now, before the heavy snow starts, go early Go home, the start time will be notified separately, remember to keep your mobile phone unblocked."

Zhou Chuanghong couldn't help but said: "The heavy snow will affect the communication, so what if the network is disconnected without our maintenance?"

The squad leader said: "It's okay, there will be someone on duty."

They were relieved when they heard this, but they were not the ones on duty, they should be the communication soldiers. They rushed to complete a few heating dormitories, but only the soldiers were able to live there.

After finishing speaking, the squad leader said to Qin Huai: "Wait a minute, Captain Shi will come over later and say he has something to call on you."

Qin Huai nodded, and Zhang Qi couldn't help raising his hand cautiously: "Then can we still have lunch today?"

The squad leader smiled when he heard the words: "Yes, let's go, I told the cafeteria to say hello, and today's dinner is also distributed, remember to take it."

The few people were immediately happy, but they planned to go back and buy something to stock up on the house. Fortunately, they paid a lot of wages, and it should be enough to stock up on food for a month. I only hope that the cold snap will pass sooner and I can come back to work sooner. , or you can go to the construction site to move bricks before notifying work here, but I don’t know if there will be a holiday because of the cold snap.

Qin Huai waited for a while before waiting for Shi Yuanfei. When Shi Yuanfei saw him, he smiled and said: "There is a good opportunity, it depends on whether you want it or not?"

Qin Huai didn't show much surprise, and asked calmly, "What opportunity?"

Shi Yuanfei: "As for the matter of transferring to an engineer, you will be responsible for the civil communication at that time, but you will have access to military communicators, and then you will be able to live in a warm building allocated by the military department. Responsibility."

It is not important to Qin Huai whether he can eat the food of the country. Now the country has nothing to eat, but if he can get in touch with military communications, it will be a good thing for him. At least he can get in touch with other people before many people. News from provinces, cities, and even neighboring countries can even save lives at critical times, not only saving other people's lives, but also saving one's own life.

But after Shi Yuanfei finished speaking, Qin Huai asked very soberly: "What about the conditions? It's impossible to transfer to me suddenly for no reason." Not to mention his ability being valued by others, communication is very important, it can be said that Second only to the weapons class, it is impossible to directly transfer ordinary people into it. Although there is no such condition as the third-generation review, it is impossible to transfer just by saying it.

Shi Yuanfei said: "Of course it's not about transfer, it's just that there is such an opportunity, basic review and inspection are required, and it will be fine if you pass it. It's just that this opportunity is based on the niece of our team leader. The orphan of a comrade-in-arms, Zhu Peipei's place."

Qin Huai laughed when he heard this: "Opportunities obtained through nepotism? If it's such a joke, then I'm afraid I won't have a good opinion of the current government."

Shi Yuanfei clicked his tongue softly: "How is that possible? It's just that Zhu Peipei likes you, and then she begged her uncle for such an opportunity. It can be regarded as early conscription. As for whether you can pass the exam, it depends on yourself. How could it be so childish? After the reconstruction has reached a certain level, there will be a conscription, but it will take some time, although you can wait until then to apply for the exam, this time it is just an early opportunity."

Who is Zhu Peipei? Qin Huai knows that a military doctor will come to take their body temperature every day and take records. She is a pretty young and beautiful girl. Compared with other military doctors who look serious, Zhu Peipei always smiles when she comes to take their temperature , young girls, although they don't have the qualifications to dress up, but they are clean and fresh, and they smile when they see people, which really makes people have a lot of affection. At least the boys in their class have a good impression of Zhu Peipei, but Zhu Peipei really didn't realize that he liked himself.

Qin Huai shook his head: "Then I can only say sorry."

Shi Yuanfei said: "Don't have any burdens in your heart, you don't have to get married, just get in touch more, love freely, no one can touch your head."

Qin Huai: "It's not that. There are two reasons. First, my biological father is Yao Xianqun."

Shi Yuanfei looked at him unclearly: "Who is he?"

Qin Huai: "In 1995, Mingxu's real estate capital chain was broken, and the whereabouts of the funds were unknown. The construction site was unfinished and stopped working. Hundreds of buyers could not get the house or get their money back. It's a pity that in that era, communication was not as developed as it is today. Petitioning and censorship, a little negligence in manpower, was delayed year after year. In the end, two people were forced to jump off the building because they had no money and no house. suicide at home."

Shi Yuanfei murmured, if this is the case, the political review is indeed a bit difficult. Although it would not be easy to investigate the current situation if Qin Huai kept it secret, but if he didn't tell, then the biggest problem is his character. It's even more impossible for the higher-ups to ask for it. It's just that if you take the initiative to explain this situation, I don't know if you can be a little more flexible.

Without waiting for Shi Yuanfei to speak, Qin Huai continued: "My father is not the legal representative who committed suicide, he is the one who absconded with money, fled abroad to start again, and even made a fortune as a Chinese rich man, at least he was still alive before the earthquake. Happy abroad."

Qin Huai only found out about this later when he started his own business. If he had known that his father had such a rich experience, when he came back from abroad and wanted to take him away, or even threatened him with Mu Nan, he would have done nothing. No need to do anything, just call the police directly, but at that time he didn't know anything, he just thought that the rich man disliked his mother's lack of money at home and couldn't help him, so he abandoned his newly pregnant girlfriend and went abroad with a rich man white woman married. But he didn't expect that what he thought was the abandonment of the poor and the rich, would actually carry such a **** crime in it, but when he knew it, the prosecution period even passed.

Shi Yuanfei's eyes widened in an instant, well, it's useless to be flexible this time.

Qin Huai looked at Shi Yuanfei who was speechless, and said, "The second reason is the really important one."

Shi Yuanfei's heart is trembling, what is more important than having a father who committed a crime, he must not commit a crime himself.

Qin Huai said: "I have a lover, gender, male."

Very good, the possibility of passing the political review is zero, and the possibility of trying to climb up through nepotism is even more zero.

When there was movement in the yard, Mu Nan, who was unable to move, could only open the window of his room and look down. Seeing that it was Qin Huai who had returned, she didn't dare to run downstairs to open the door for his brother like before, so she could only push He opened the window and waved downstairs: "Brother!"

Qin Huai raised his head and waved to him.

Listening to the footsteps, Mu Nan leaned on the railing of the stairs on the third floor and looked down until he saw Qin Huai's figure before asking: "Why are you so early today, have you eaten at noon?"

Qin Huai handed the backpack to Mu Nan: "I haven't eaten yet, there are some steamed buns and sweet tortillas in it, last time you said that the aunt in the small cafeteria made delicious ones, so I took a few more, the cold snap is coming, So I have a holiday in advance, and I will wait for the notice when I go to work."

Mu Nan immediately cheered happily: "It's no longer necessary to go to work early in the wind and snow, it's winter, you should stay at home, you go wash your hands, wash your face and change your clothes, I'll bring you lunch, you Just send me a message, so I will wait for you to come back and eat together."

Qin Huai said: "Three meals must be fixed."

Mu Nan said: "Then you don't have a set time, so go and change quickly, what do you want to eat at noon? Let's have a hot pot, I'm afraid the whole journey back will be chilly, eat something warm, and eat something warm." How about the sheep scorpion? I'll take out any vegetables you want to eat, put them in the pot and boil them for you."

Qin Huai nodded: "Bring some lettuce."

Mu Nan took the pot out of the space, put some lettuce in it, and put some konjac and bean curd sticks in it. After a while, Qin Huai changed his clothes and came over. Mu Nan quickly served him the food and passed the chopsticks, and then He took a pair of chopsticks and pressed down the newly added things in the pot: "You eat the meat first, these will need to be cooked for a while."

Qin Huai said: "Tell Jian Chu about the cold snap. If you want to stock up, go to the redemption shop as soon as possible. When the news of the cold snap is coming, the redemption shop will probably not be able to squeeze in."

Mu Nan quickly ran to the bed to get his cell phone, and then sent a message in a small group of their neighbors: "The cold snap is coming, you need to change things as soon as possible, if you are late, you will be blocked by the snowstorm and cannot go out." Already!"

Jianchu and the others all went to work, so they probably didn't have time to look at their mobile phones, and they were working outdoors, the temperature was too low, and the mobile phones basically turned off automatically, so they didn't reply for a long time.

Song Jia, who was at home next door, replied immediately: "Then if I wait for my brother to get off work before buying, will there be too late?"

Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai, Qin Huai nodded, and Mu Nan replied in the group: "It should be in time, you should think about what you want to buy first, and go buy it directly."

Qin Huai said: "The water may be cut off, the temperature outside is getting lower and lower, no matter how warm and cold the water pipes are, I'm afraid they will freeze."

Mu Nan sent another sentence to the group: "Hurry up and store water, if the water pipes are frozen, you will have to melt snow and drink water."

After typing, Mu Nan put down his phone and ran to the bathroom to fetch water. There is a lot of water in his space, but he can save more if he can. Although there is no need to worry about water in winter and the snow on the ground is dirty, the water on the roof Snow can be turned into water. Even if you can’t eat it, it’s okay to boil it for washing and washing. But there is clean groundwater that can be stored, so there’s no need to bother with the snow. Mu Nan will go to the matter of turning snow into water. I have done too much in my life, now I can feel a little more comfortable, so I need to toss less.

After Mu Nan put the inflatable swimming pool in the bathroom to catch the water, he came back and lay down on the table to watch Qin Huai eat. Qin Huai looked at him: "Does it still hurt today?"

Mu Nan shook her head: "It doesn't hurt, it's really all gone, and I don't need any medicine."

Qin Huai said: "Today we should knead again."

Mu Nan sighed: "The quilt smells like medicinal oil."

"After kneading today, just change the quilt, take off the quilt cover and wash it."

Mu Nan said: "That's okay. While there is still water, the washing machine can still be used. Let's wash the sheets and quilts. Will there be problems with the floor heating supply here because of the low temperature?" Although if there is a problem, even solar energy can They can’t use it, but they can burn a stove at home, smokeless charcoal, and an oil-burning heating stove. Take it out, and it can also be boiled by burning oil for heating in an RV.

He has space and supplies. As long as it is not a volcano and extremely low temperature, he can survive anything, but the neighbors don’t seem to be able to do it. They don’t even have a bed. Because of the floor heating, sleeping on the ground is quite comfortable. If there is a problem with the heating , just relying on the two quilts and a few thick clothes at home, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Qin Huai said: "I don't know how low the temperature will be. If it exceeds the limit of human habitation, I'm afraid there is no other way but to light a fire for warmth."

The low temperature limit for human living is minus 70 degrees, but this so-called limit is also under the normal supply of heating by the government, and even some assistance from other regions, as well as the accumulated experience of escaping from the cold for generations. If their current situation is as low as this temperature, they may have to find a way to make a snow house and live underground.

Thinking of that degree of cold and heat, Qin Huai said: "Maybe the way out for people in the future will really be like those science fiction movies, to build a dungeon."

Mu Nan said: "So the movies are not all made up, right? Maybe they are really a way out for human beings, space immigrants, Noah's Ark, dungeons, hey, I don't know what the future way out is. One, brother, do you think our side will be like that movie, turning into a vast ocean? In that case, we don’t even know where the boat tickets are, and we don’t know if it’s really like the one in the movie. Only the top richest people in the world can survive, do you still remember that many well-known and unknown rich people at home and abroad suddenly donated a large sum of money to the domestic aviation industry, bro, do you think those are actually boat tickets?"

Qin Huai shook his head: "Who knows, let's talk about living the life in front of us. There is no need to think so far ahead in the future."

After eating, Qin Huai cleaned the upstairs and downstairs, sweeping and mopping the floor, just set up the sweeping machine, and there is no need to do it yourself, so he flipped through Mu Nan's planting record book, and the record book It records the daily watering time and amount of watering, and draws a picture of the growth of peppers and tomatoes every once in a while. From a little sprout to the current green patch, it can be seen that Mu Nan takes care of it very meticulously. , The temperature and water volume are strictly in accordance with the standards on the Raiders.

Mu Nan leaned over to Qin Huai's side: "I looked at the strategies I checked before. The peppers can be left alone, the tomatoes need to be supported, and they need to be manually pollinated, so the wood needs to be processed again and turned into wood strips."

Qin Huai looked at the potatoes drawn on his second notebook, and said, "Is this going to plant potatoes on the second floor?"

Mu Nan said: "That's the plan, but it seems that there are no potatoes for sale outside, and the seeds I bought for potatoes before are not available. They say that the potatoes can be sliced ​​and germinated and planted. There is no need for seeds at all, so I just want to wait for potatoes outside. I’ll buy seeds after I sell them.” Although he has potatoes in his space, they are not available for sale outside, and he can’t tell where they came from, so let’s just wait.

Qin Huai said: "Go to the second floor first, I'll set up the shelves for you, anyway, we have time now, let's do it slowly, as for what to plant, we'll see when the time comes."

In terms of hands-on ability, Qin Huai is still strong. In half an afternoon, Qin Huai has already built half of the wooden shelf on the second floor. The main purpose of building the wooden shelf is to keep it a little away from the ground, otherwise the ground will be so warm that the seeds in the soil will be cooked. When it was getting dark, Jian Chu and the others came back, and then came to ask them to borrow a tricycle.

Qin Huai went downstairs to open the garage door for them. Seeing that Yu Zibai and Wu Zheng were going to go together, he asked, "Will Xu Ming go with you?"

Yu Zibai said: "He hasn't left work yet. Recently, many people have broken bones and broken hands and feet due to slipping. He sometimes doesn't come back until early in the morning."

Qin Huai said: "I also sent him news about the cold current, I don't know if he saw it or not."

Jian Chu stomped her feet coldly: "I don't think you have time to come back after seeing it. Have you bought everything? Won't you go together?"

Qin Huai: "No, we've already bought it. Go ahead and leave the tricycle at your house. If Xu Ming wants to buy it, you won't have to come to our house to get it."

Jian Chu nodded, the few people didn't delay any longer, it was already dark, and it would be even later if they delayed, although the four of them were not afraid of someone blocking the road and robbing them, but they were afraid of animals running away, which would be dangerous, even afraid of provoking animals, even Niuniu Shut up at home and didn't take it out.

Mu Nan watched them leave from the balcony on the second floor, and when Qin Huai came up, he looked at him with bright eyes: "Brother, there is only one dog left in our neighbor who can't talk."

Qin Huai: "So?"

Mu Nan: "Let's eat hot pot!"

Qin Huai laughed: "Then eat it. I don't know if they will stop working these few days. If they don't stop working, you can eat whenever you want."

Mu Nan hurriedly jumped up to the third floor with happy steps. When he thought of eating hot pot, his waist didn't hurt, his muscles didn't twist, and he felt comfortable all over.

The hot pot is ready-cooked. It was cooked and put into the space before, but there are not many things in it. Mu Nan will prepare it like this so that he can eat two bites in a hurry when he is really hungry. Now that I have time, I can eat slowly, so I take out various dishes from the space one by one, and it is interesting to cook while eating.

After such a long time, Mu Nan finally ate hot pot, and suddenly felt that life was perfect: "It's snowing outside, and the pot is cooking at home, and you don't have to go to work, and you can sleep late, it's worth it in the world!"

Qin Huai was amused: "Who was wearing the protective clothing that couldn't be taken off at the beginning, and walked away almost crying, saying that the world is not worth it."

Mu Nan clicked his tongue softly: "One moment and another moment." He said and put a piece of freshly boiled fat beef on the Qinhuai flavor plate: "Eat quickly, eat more meat and store up some fat to survive the winter!"

Qin Huai smiled and picked up the fatty meat and put it in his mouth. Seeing Mu Nan licking his mouth and scooping up his favorite food in the pot, his eyes were full of tenderness, no matter how the world is, it is still worth it.
