Survival [End Times]

After waiting for ten minutes in the square, Yu Heng saw an emergency news report, claiming that an undersea earthquake occurred in a certain ocean in the east, and the earthquake triggered a strong tsunami, calling on the public to make safety preparations and not to go out for the time being.

"Let's go home quickly!"

Since it is not an earthquake, the most dangerous thing now is the super flood caused by the undersea earthquake! The two returned home. In the second half of the night, the wind and snow increased, and the temperature became significantly colder. Yu Heng and Zhang's mother watched the live news on TV and were very concerned about the situation outside.

The first day of the new year was not smooth, and there were many people complaining online. "I dare not sleep!"

"Oh, this wave is so scary!"

The eastern coastal area has now become hell. The waves in the dark are like beasts, biting fiercely and hitting tens of meters high. The video is only three seconds long, but it also makes the viewers terrified.

"There must be a large number of people moving in. Mom may be a little confused recently. Don't go out for now."

Mother Zhang agreed: "Then don't go out either."

The New Year's Eve submarine earthquake caused great damage to the country. Xiyue became an ocean overnight, and countless people were displaced and could only temporarily live in high-rise residents' homes.

At the beginning of the year, the authorities sent troops to pick up the victims. The property management of Hexiang also took action and began to count the families who still had space at home, asking whether they were willing to accept the victims and various welfare subsidies.

Yu Heng's family was also among those being asked, but both of them had a secret. It was inconvenient for outsiders to live in, so they declined the offer on the grounds that they had to grow vegetables at home and had no space.

It is reported that the ninth to fifteenth phases of Xinchengju have not yet been completed, and it is conservatively estimated that they will not be able to move in until the end of next year. This project is quite huge. It is said that it will be built in a collective, highly intensive dormitory model, with unified canteen management, and then it will be able to accommodate all the remaining people in the country!

It can be said that the whole country's strength, success or failure depends on this one move.

When the authorities proposed this construction plan, some people agreed and some opposed. Those who agreed thought that since their families didn't have enough money anyway, this type of dormitory would definitely be much cheaper. Those who opposed thought that they were not short of money, and if they did this, their family's living standards would decline!

"Poor x! I don't want to live with you!"

"Oh, your family has plenty of money, why didn't you buy the first phase of Hexiang New Town House? Hehe~"

"Yes, at worst, you can buy the second and third phases of Qionghaishan~"

You mocked me on the Internet and I sprayed back, having a lot of fun. Anyway, no matter what, the authorities changed the plan in the late stage of the second to fifth phases of the new town house construction, believing that the top priority was to gather all the people together, and the quality of life was secondary.

The reason why the authorities had such a sense of crisis was that a country with an area larger than their own country was completely submerged due to an undersea earthquake within a few days - the unfinished water towers could no longer wait for their owners, and those who lived in the original place and were waiting for the completion of the water city were swept away by the flood, and countless people died.

Time waits for no one! Being too optimistic will prevent you from responding to disasters in time, and it will be too late. So the authorities held a meeting overnight, and the Academy of Sciences revised the construction drawings overnight. It just so happened that only the first floor suites were built, and from the second floor onwards, all were replanned into high-density dormitory areas, striving to squeeze everyone in.

After more than two years of trembling, an undersea earthquake also occurred in the ocean on their side, and the stone in their hearts fell instead. Fortunately, in the past few years, we have tried our best to relocate the people to high-altitude inland areas, and we are just waiting for the last new city residence to be built by the end of next year.

The atmosphere this year has been very tense, and the seabed is particularly active. Several undersea volcanoes that have been defined as extinct volcanoes for more than a hundred years have erupted one after another. Earthquakes are frequent, and waves keep hitting the continent, unceremoniously sending groups of deep-sea killers.

Hai Lao is completely afraid to go to the sea, and only dares to catch some fish in the edge of the water.

People's lives have also changed a lot. As the saying goes, friction is easy to arise when there are too many people. As the first phase of the new city residence, Hexiang has gathered a large number of companions over the years, and the number of people living around Hexiang is countless.

Especially this year, the intensified threat of nature has caused people's emotions to fluctuate and conflicts to arise, and the security department is very busy.

Yu Heng said to Zhang's mother: "Let's sell less, and slowly dry and store the rest."

"Why? Do you want to eat dried vegetables?"

"I think our family will soon have new members, so we need to store more dried vegetables so that we can eat vegetables in the future."

Zhang's mother wiped her hands and stood up: "How could it be? Didn't we refuse?"

Yu Heng smiled: "I am making the worst guess. Anyway, dried vegetables are easy to sell. I am not afraid of making too much. I love to eat them even if they cannot be sold."

"Okay, I will listen to you." Zhang's mother knew that her son was not a person who would talk nonsense. She thought about it while tending to the vegetables, and soon figured it out. She sighed, everyone was having a hard time.

So the Zhang family's delivery service was sharply reduced. The two of them collected vegetables at home every day, washed and dried them, cooked and sliced ​​radishes and sweet potatoes, and kept shining the big watt lamp. Yu Heng also used mirrors to build some spotlight stoves. In short, they were very busy.

The dried vegetables and various dried slices were carefully stored in buckets by Zhang's mother and sealed tightly. In addition, Yu Heng also bought some meat every day and prepared it into dried meat and stored it.

There were always various smells in the house, and even the hair smelled of pickled meat. Yu Heng thought it smelled good and could go well with rice.

He was not stingy with money and purchased a lot of things. Buckets and boxes were piled in Zhang's mother's bedroom. There are two bedrooms in the house, Zhang’s mother’s is the largest.

When he entered the mission world in the early years, he bought a lot of supplies and piled them in the storage ring. Every year he would take out some and eat them, and then buy newer ones to fill the storage ring. Later, fish were everywhere, and he felt The possibility of food shortage in the future is very small, so supplements mainly turn to daily necessities and medicines. Except for the more than half a year spent living in the bathroom, he updated the contents in the storage ring from time to time.

In short, he is always prepared for the worst day to come. Food is the most important thing for the people. With supplies, his confidence in survival will increase by more than half.

Sure enough, at the end of the autumn of that year, the authorities issued a wartime housing allocation decree, which allowed local departments to allocate population and housing according to actual conditions. Attached was a subsidy policy for the owners of the allocated houses.

After the decree was passed, Hexiang also posted distribution notices on the notice boards on the first floor of each building. How many people would live in which apartment, what their names were, and how much the subsidies were... all clearly listed.

This arrangement is quite reasonable. For example, if the Yu Heng family is ostensibly a mother and daughter living there, then all the people who come in are women, seven in total, two of whom are teenage girls.

After seeing the list, Yu Heng immediately moved the bed in his bedroom into Zhang's mother's room, vacating his house, and then worked with Zhang's mother to clean up the living room and remove all the vegetable growing shelves. Put away heating lamps and the like. Now there is only a small shelf set up on the window sill of Zhang's mother's bedroom, with some green onions and cabbage growing inside.

The notice was posted in the morning, but someone moved in in the afternoon. It was a family who introduced themselves as mother and daughter, all middle-aged and elderly. Two hours later, two girls came. They were said to be sisters. Their parents lived in someone else's house. The last two people came in at night. They had nothing to do with each other and were just randomly inserted into the room.

There are seven people living in the two-bedroom apartment at once, and each has their own luggage. Not to mention how messy it is! Anyway, the kitchen is clean and the living room is bare, so they can do whatever they want.

"Just one thing, don't make any noise." Yu Heng said to everyone who came in.

"How can I sleep without a bed?"

"Let's settle for now and go buy it tomorrow..."

"Buy a curtain and cover it up..."

Zhang's mother was a little worried: "There are so many people here." It was too crowded. There was nothing we could do about it, so we had to endure it.

The next day was indeed even more chaotic. Those who bought beds, those who built beds, those who divided the territory... there was a lot of trouble. Later, there were three mothers and daughters sleeping in the bedroom, named Mrs. Ming, eldest sister Ming, second sister Ming, and a thirty-year-old woman named Chen Dalwan. Two sisters, Li An and Li Jing, and another woman in her forties, Xie Fang, live in the living room.

A few nails were driven into the living room, wires were pulled up, and curtains were installed to surround and separate the two beds.

"Then how are we going to eat? We can't order takeout every day, right? It's too expensive."

Facing the questions from these women, Yu Heng was well versed in the principle of far away fragrance and near smell, and had no intention of dining with them. He only said: "Anyway, water and electricity will be divided equally according to the head. This is written in the announcement. At the end of the month You have to give it to me together with the rent. I can lend you my kitchen utensils for cooking, but you must wash them after use. As for the gas, you can buy it yourself. "

Mrs. Ming smiled and said: "Xiao Chen, we are all women, and we all know the trouble of cooking. It's hard for one person to cook for so many people, right? How about we, a family of three plus Da Wan, pay your living expenses? , would you like to have dinner with your family?”

Yu Heng refused: "Everyone has different tastes and it's not convenient." He told his family the cooking time for three meals a day: "You can cook before and after."

When he entered the room, Mrs. Ming put away her smile and looked at the other three people: "What do you mean?"

Li An and Li Jing said, "We can just go to my parents' place for dinner. Auntie, you can discuss it." After that, they got into the curtain and climbed into the bed of the two sisters.

Xie Fang also said: "I'll go find my husband to eat together. Sister, you can discuss it yourself." Finally, it was decided that the family would cook in two batches.

The days went on like this, and Yu Heng also made a rule to take turns cleaning, one person per day. At first, the younger of the two sisters was reluctant and said, "We only sleep here at night!"

"Then did you step in with your shoes on? Did you go to the bathroom and wash your hands? Did you throw away the garbage over there?" Yu Heng pointed out everything, and finally said: "You don't have to sweep it, I can report it to the temporary neighborhood committee Complain, go live in someone else’s house!”
