The apocalypse arrived abruptly, with nuclear pollution sweeping across the globe. Typhoons, tsunamis, torrential rains, earthquakes, mutations… In a short time, all living beings on Earth faced ca...
Early the next morning, after waking up, Jiang Mi and Jiang Xun had a hearty breakfast of meat buns and spicy tofu pudding made by their three fathers.
After the meal, Miao Xi and others were still cooking on the first floor, so she and Jiang Xun simply went to the third floor to start working.
"Brother, there are only three floors in the whole building, but the third floor is divided into seven or eight rooms. Can we break down the partition walls of these rooms so that they can connect to each other?" Jiang Mi asked, looking at the seven or eight scattered rooms.
Too many rooms will result in fragmented space, and the number of radiation shields and radiation purifiers needed to be installed will increase exponentially.
Originally, one set of equipment can supply 100 square meters, but because of these walls, we have to install one set in every room, which is a waste.
Moreover, she doesn't have much space for those devices, and she hasn't found any replacements yet, so she can only think of ways to save money.
Jiang Xun looked at the floor plan and tapped a few times on the third floor plan. "Here, here, and here. These walls can be knocked down, but these two walls are load-bearing walls and cannot be moved."
Jiang Mi's eyes lit up as he looked at the place where his fingertips pointed, "If we demolish these, the entire third floor will only have three large rooms, which is much better than now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mi moved his mind and two sledgehammers fell to the ground with a clang.
"Then let's get started now!"
After saying that, Jiang Mi couldn't wait to reach out for the sledgehammer, but he pulled it at once and failed. He finally managed to lift the sledgehammer after using 50% of his strength.
"You need to be clever to swing this. Don't just rush it. Be careful not to sprain your waist." Jiang Xun couldn't help but say helplessly when he saw her swinging a hammer in circles.
"Brother, have you ever smashed something before?" Jiang Mi was curious, swinging the hammer and hitting the wall tentatively.
With a dull thud, cracks suddenly appeared on the putty wall, but only a little bit of the surface was peeled off.
"I've tried it before when I went to inspect the construction site with the workers." Jiang Xun said as he picked up another hammer easily. After getting used to it a few times, he swung the hammer hard against the wall. There was a loud bang, gravel flew everywhere, and a huge gap appeared on the wall instantly.
"Awesome!" Jiang Mi gave a thumbs up, and then he came up with an idea and asked excitedly: "Brother, do you think your ability can be used to smash the wall?"
She remembered that her brother's superpower was the ability to explode. Isn't this much faster than smashing it with a hammer?
Jiang Xun thought about it and seemed to agree that it made sense. He put down the hammer in his hand, and a ball of blue-purple light the size of a soybean emerged in his palm.
Jiang Mi quickly ran away and stood far away to watch.
A ball of light flew out and hit the wall. There was a deafening roar and the whole building seemed to shake. Dust was flying in front of his eyes. After a while, when the dust settled, Jiang Mi looked carefully and was stunned.
There was a huge gap of nearly two meters on the three-meter-high wall in front of me, and I could see the other room behind the wall at a glance.
"Good fellow, how powerful is Jie Mo?!" Jiang Mi stepped forward and compared his mouth with his, "Brother, before the end of the world, with your skills, you would definitely earn more working in a demolition company than in our company!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head.
"You still have to knock the edges manually, but you don't need to use the largest hammer like this." Jiang Xun withdrew his hand and said lightly.
"What's wrong?! What happened?!"
At the door, Miao Xi, holding a bowl in his hand, looked at the two people in the house with astonishment. When he saw the big hole in the wall, he was stunned, "Demolish... demolish the house?"
Jiang Mi couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this. After giving her a brief explanation, Miao Xi finally let go of her worries. She swallowed the food in her mouth and said with lingering fear: "I heard the explosion downstairs and thought the building was going to collapse."
Jiang Mi waved her hand and told her to eat in peace. Miao Xi finished the rice in her bowl in a few mouthfuls, went downstairs, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and hurried back up again. Soon Xiaofei, Mingyu, Lulu, and the mother and daughter also came.
Several people divided the work and started working. The younger ones picked up the rubble and piled them together for Jiang Mi to put into the space. Several adults each took a hammer and started knocking on the wall, and Jiang Xun blew up the houses one by one.
With strength in numbers, all the rooms on the third floor were cleared out in just one morning.
Now the entire third floor with an area of nearly 800 square meters has been transformed into three neat and clean large spaces.
"This is much more comfortable." Jiang Mi exhaled, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, but all he touched was the breathing filter on his head.
"That's it for the morning. Let's all go eat first, and then continue working in the afternoon. We'll try to finish it today." She clapped her hands.
The three children were so tired that they sat down on the ground, not to mention the adults, whose clothes were soaked with sweat.
Miao Xi and his friends took the three children back to the first floor to prepare for lunch, while Jiang Mi and Jiang Xun returned to their room on the second floor.
As soon as Jiang Mi returned to the room, he immediately took off the filter on his head. His black hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his face. As soon as he took it off, heat came out of his head, as if he was practicing magic.
Among all the people, only Jiang Xun remained clean and respectable, and apart from the slight sweat on his forehead, he didn't want to be busy all morning.
I went back to the space to clean myself up briefly and had a nice lunch. After an hour's lunch break, we gathered on the third floor again.
Jiang Mi took out three sets of radiation protection devices from the space, one set for Miao Xi, one set for Jiang Xun, and the other set for himself to install separately.
After the anti-radiation device was installed and the indicator light turned green, Jiang Mi immediately took off the filter on his head and stood in front of everyone in broad daylight for the first time.
"Sister Jiang is so pretty!" Lulu opened her big eyes and smiled sweetly.
Jiang Mi rubbed her head and said with a smile: "Lulu is also very beautiful."
This little girl is the main force in moving construction waste. Some large pieces of cement blocks that adults have difficulty moving are moved by this little girl.
Her tiny body could hold a cement block that was half her size with ease, which made Xiaofei very envious.
"Okay, next we need you to modify some boxes to serve as planting troughs." Jiang Mi raised his hand and waved, and suddenly a large number of boxes used to store fruits and vegetables in supermarkets appeared on the ground.
This kind of box has fine air holes, so the soil won't leak out when it's filled with it. At present, there are no dedicated plant growing boxes, so this thing is undoubtedly a good substitute.
But some are not like this, and ventilation holes need to be opened manually.
After taking out some boxes, Jiang Mi took out the shelves brought from the supermarket. Three shelves could be placed side by side from east to west. The second row was placed after leaving 1.5 meters of pedestrian space. There were a total of six rows of eighteen shelves.
"Put those that don't need modification on the shelves first." Jiang Mi called out, and then went to the remaining two rooms and placed the shelves in the same way.
When she returned, many shelves were already filled with planting boxes. Jiang Mi raised her hand and placed it on the box. With a thought, the soil in the space immediately filled the box. (End of this chapter)
