Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...
Chapter 090 Brothers, you have a bright future!
Yes, the carrion beetles that China had been worrying about for a month were not only not eliminated, but because the resources were too abundant, for example, countless creatures and animals had died in the past six months, that was a genocide-style death. In addition, the high temperature and lack of water caused many people to die in the house without anyone noticing, which led to the carrion beetles multiplying throughout the house.
There are too many corpses, causing the carrion beetles to evolve and become more powerful, and then a more serious carrion beetle disaster will soon break out.
The science channel is full of statements every day saying that the earth is about to be destroyed and will soon be ruled by carrion beetles.
but...
What no one expected was that another race also demonstrated its unprecedented reproductive ability, that is, maggots, which we will talk about later.
Let me first talk about Jingshu’s bottom line: you can choose not to eat it but don’t waste it, you can give it to someone who is willing to eat it.
Jingshu, who has lived in the apocalypse for ten years, understands the value of food, especially in the future. Today, Jingshu no longer lacks food, but she still implements the "Clean Plate" campaign and licks up all the leftovers at home every day.
Jingshu clenched her fists, forced herself to calm down the anger in her heart, and went to get water with everyone.
There were obviously far fewer people in the water-access area. Some people drank the water directly from public bottles without any bottles. Anyway, they would have to drink raw water if there was no water or electricity at home.
The family received water after swiping their ID cards and using facial recognition. Each person was only given 500 liters of water per day, for a total of 2.5 liters, which is only half of a 4L mineral water bottle. This amount of water is not enough to water the apple trees at Jingshu's house.
The family looked at each other a little bit.
Jing Nai held the baby preciously in her arms and said, "After struggling for half an hour, you only get this little water? In the past, each person at least got one liter."
"So are we still going to get the food?" Wu Youai said while dozing off. If it was food, she didn't care and could really eat it as a meal. Wu Youai was definitely a Buddhist homebody.
"Look, the queue is going to last an hour, and the food is really..." Jing Ye had a toothache. His tooth had finally grown out after half a year, but the annoying thing was that the tooth on the other side had grown out again. He was in so much pain from both sides that he couldn't even eat anything slightly hard.
Sometimes Jing Ye would be curious, "I'm already halfway through the coffin, why should I still have teeth? Can't I, an old man, have a good meal?" He could only smoke to relieve his worries. Jing Ye's biggest mistake was not buying more cigarettes to stockpile. As a result, he now dared not quarrel with his son for fear of having no cigarettes to smoke.
The family went back home. In fact, except Wu Youai, no one wanted to eat this horrible-looking meal. On the way, they discussed whether they should come to get water every day.
Jing's father, who doesn't manage the household, doesn't know how precious water is: "Why don't you just come all the way here for such a small amount of water? Many charging stations have been out of power recently, so it's hard to charge your electric vehicle."
Grandma Jing disagreed: "We just wasted a batch of vegetables. We planted new ones a few days ago and they need to be watered every day. We have two more pigs and cows that need to be fed every day. I see the water tank on the third floor is only half full. At the rate we use water, it won't be enough for several months. The water we distribute can at least feed a cow."
Jingshu stored dozens of tons of water at the time and set up a wastewater recycling system, but she never thought that it would still be insufficient now. Water used for daily use such as bathing and washing clothes can be recycled but is also being consumed, and feeding poultry and irrigation are really wastewater.
There are 14 tons of mineral water in the space, which is enough for drinking, but too luxurious to feed pigs and water the fields.
"No, I have to get some more water somewhere." Jingshu thought.
After sending Jingnai and the other two home, Jingshu and Jing's father went to find a charging station to charge the energy car. Now it only needs to be charged every 2-3 days. Of course, it is not as convenient as the previous gasoline car, but now the gasoline cars are all useless.
During this period, inflation has caused money to become worthless. The price of gold has risen to 3,000 yuan per gram, which is ten times the previous price and higher than the historical high. Europe and the United States have directly stopped implementing the gold standard. China has also set off a gold craze at this time, but it won't be long before the gold price collapses.
The world's currencies are in chaos. The United States is trying hard to lower the dollar exchange rate and increase China's debt. China is not immune to the diplomatic war of words between the two countries. You will surrender, right? We will surrender too. Whoever is cowardly is a grandson!
So the money is even less valuable, resulting in the charging pile
Many have ceased operations.
According to Jingshu's memory, the charging piles would not be restarted until the situation stabilized in the second year, when the government would take over and implement the purchase of new virtual currency, which everyone in the previous life called work points, points earned by working.
"This charging pile is in a remote place. It was usable a few days ago." As Jing's father drove the car in, the light hit the scene of three people using electric hammers connected to a small generator to chisel away the surrounding area and dig out the charging pile.
The encounter between the two parties seemed to be at a standstill. Jingshu Jing's father did not expect that someone would steal the charging pile, and the people on the opposite side did not expect that they would encounter people with energy vehicles charging in this place.
Jingshu got out of the car and said, "Brothers, you have great potential to make money. You realized the idea of stealing charging piles to make money so early." In the second year of the apocalypse, a group of private individuals stole charging piles in advance and exchanged them with energy vehicle owners for food and work points, and they all made a fortune.
"Oh, there are only two of them, brothers. We just happened to steal the energy vehicle and the charging pile together." The bald man raised the electric hammer in his hand and grinned. The two people beside him put down their tools, picked up machetes and also grinned evilly.
The electric hammer looks very aggressive and intimidating.
Jing's father took out a crossbow, and Jingshu took out a huge mace, and smashed it on the concrete floor with a bang, instantly creating a deep hole, and the whole earth shook.
The three people opposite were stunned and swallowed their saliva together.
"Brother Ermao, you, try using the electric hammer again. I'm afraid this is a muddy ground, right?"
Brother Ermao took the electric hammer and hit the ground hard. With a bang, a tiny crack appeared.
"Still, the opponent's mace is more intimidating."
The three of them swallowed their saliva again. Bald Ermao reacted quickly and said fearfully, "Here, this charging station is for you. We'll keep to ourselves. See you later!"
"Bang!" The mace slammed down onto the ground again, and this time the surrounding area collapsed. Jing Shu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Leave all the tools behind, and get out of here."
"Okay, okay."
"We'll just get out of here."
The three of them disappeared in a flash. Jingshu felt relaxed all over. She didn't expect that it would feel so good and comfortable to scare the enemy away just by relying on deterrence!
Jing's father opened his mouth. He was increasingly unable to understand his daughter. "So what should we do?"
"Let's take the charging pile directly home. We can charge it at our doorstep in the future. How convenient." Jingshu thought beautifully. She would put the charging pile into the space when she migrated. Perfect!
