Chapter 44 The rain stops

"Bang!"

There was silence immediately after the gunshot.

“Everyone can only receive food after they have registered one by one.”

Tao Bai took out the familiar black notebook and registered everything one by one.

When it was Liu Lanxiang's turn, she suddenly burst into tears.

"Sir! I want to report that the three people from the Qiao family who live on the 17th floor are murderers. They killed my son. Please help me, Sir."

Tang Mingli frowned. She knew Qiao Qiao's character well and would not act rashly.

The soldiers behind got headaches when they heard the crying. During this period, they faced this situation wherever they went. At first, they would kindly try to help, but later, they became numb after seeing it so many times.

But I still asked out of professionalism, "Is there any evidence?"

"Yes, I have." Liu Lanxiang pulled out several people with injured arms from the crowd.

"These people were all slashed by Qiao Qiao, and my son's body is still at home. How can we, an orphan and a widow, survive?"

After saying this, she was about to cry again, but when she saw the soldier frowning, she quickly shut up.

Unexpectedly, the people who were pushed out did not cooperate with her performance and shook their heads.

"No, our injuries were caused by ourselves, not the Qiao family."

Liu Lanxiang opened her eyes wide, "You guys!"

The injured residents didn't look at her. They were not fools. They had already realized that they had been used as pawns by Jin Han before, and now he wanted to push them to block the bullets.

The Qiao family and the Tang family are neighbors, and they have carried out rescue missions together. The relationship between the two families must be extraordinary. Even if the Qiao family really did something, they would probably be able to survive.

If that's the case, why go and get into trouble?

But Jin Han’s case was different. Everyone told the army what Jin Han had done, and no one cared about Liu Lanxiang who was pushed to the periphery.

"Okay, we got it." The soldiers took notes perfunctorily, but in fact they were annoyed to death.

After checking in person, I was surprised to find that the number of survivors in this building was greater than that in all the surrounding communities.

"Knock knock!" Tang Zhijie knocked on the door of room 1302.

"Hello, I'm a registered federal survivor distributing survival supplies. Please open the door."

Xia Momo was drowsy all day long and stayed alone. She was so bored that she talked to her doll every day and felt like she was going to go insane at any moment.

It took him a long time to react after hearing the knock on the door. He slowly stood up and looked through the peephole to see a man in military uniform outside the door.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly. Even if she usually complained about the Federation, she felt a surge of security the moment she saw the soldiers.

He opened the door and took out the household registration booklet, ID card, property certificate and other relevant documents that he had kept close to him.

"I'm Xia Momo, the owner of this house. Here are all my documents."

Tang Zhijie was stunned for a moment. The girl in front of him looked a little disheveled, her cheeks were thin but very clean, and her tears were dripping like pearls. She looked a little pitiful, but one could feel her determination.

"Hello." Tang Zhijie quickly confirmed the ID and handed over five compressed biscuits and five 300ml bottles of water.

"This is five days' worth of supplies. Please keep it carefully."

"Okay, thank you." After the excitement, Xia Momo calmed down. She shouldn't trust anyone except Qiao Qiao who helped her.

"Long time no see, Qiao Qiao."

Tang Mingli opened his arms, and she also smiled and opened her arms to hug him back.

"Long time no see, Sister Tang, how are you guys doing?"

Tang Mingli handed over the supplies for the three people, refused her request to go into the house, and stood in the corridor to talk to her.

"I'm fine. I went out on a mission and just came back."

Before leaving, Tang Mingli said, "To be honest, you really should join the Special Administration Bureau. After the initial chaos, it is now becoming more and more large-scale. Not only can you exchange cards for cards, but you can also exchange contribution points for cards. Many R-level cards have been traded."

To be honest, Qiao Qiao was tempted, but she still didn't want to have to obey orders and lose her freedom completely.

"Do I have to join officially? What about non-staff? Like a contract worker."

Tang Mingli: "I'll go back and ask. If you have multiple R-level cards or SR-level cards, you should be able to recruit them. After all, talent is the most important thing at all times."

Qiao Qiao expressed his understanding.

I got home just in time to harvest the vegetables.

This is the third time harvesting cabbage, lettuce, onions and leeks. I have only harvested two large pots of these four vegetables, which is less than expected. I can still harvest four more times.

We harvested a large basin of celery, rapeseed, water spinach, cucumber and sweet potato. The sweet potatoes were especially big, bigger than our faces, and we harvested more than ten.

Continue to plant broccoli, eggplant, snow peas, Chinese cabbage, and mint, which will mature in about 40 days.

Ninetieth day of doomsday.

The pomegranates planted in the small flowerpots have matured. There are five fist-sized pomegranates in total, and the branches are bent down by their weight.

[Harvest completed, cooling time: 10 days]

The ninety-first day of doomsday.

The rainy weather that had lasted for two months suddenly ended, the long-lost golden sunshine shone on the earth again, and the temperature instantly rose to 30 degrees.

When people woke up in the morning and walked to the window to check the weather, they were surprised to find that the rain had stopped.

Instantly cheers and shouts resounded through the sky.

"The rain has stopped, the end of the world is over!"

"I'm still alive woooohahaha."

"I made it through, honey, look!"

"It's finally over. I'd rather go to work."

Looking down from the air, one could see heads sticking out of the windows of every building, greedily breathing in the fresh air.

Those who had boats at home took the opportunity to go out in the sun and pick water hyacinths.

Some people stayed at home excitedly, thinking that the end of the world was finally over.

The humid water vapor from long-term rain disappears abnormally quickly under the sunlight.

The water level dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and corpses appeared on the water surface. Some chose to commit suicide because they could not bear the end of the world, some were murdered, and some were even left with only a skeleton and a head...

Of course, the filth and dirt under the water also floated up, and under the high temperature, a disgusting smell filled the air.

Even so, it couldn't stop people's joy. Everyone cheered and jumped for joy. I don't know who started singing, but it ended up triggering a chorus.

Qiao Qiao didn't know about these things. She slept until she woke up naturally again.

It was not until she finished her breakfast and woke up completely that she realized the rain had stopped. At this time, quilts and clothes were hung on the balconies of every household.

Qiao Huizhou and Qiao Xinghe were busy in the living room, putting batches of clothes into the dryer and taking batches of bedding out of the dryer.

The R-level card solar panel has a special socket strip, and electrical appliances can be used by just plugging them in. As a liberal arts student, she can't figure out the specific principle, but it is possible that it is not part of current technology at all.

"During this period, my family has changed quilts every few days, and the quilts we have stored are almost all damp. It happened that the rain stopped today, the sun came out, and the solar panels can finally work. I took this opportunity to quickly dry the quilts and clothes. Who knows if it will continue to rain in the future."

After hearing this, Qiao Qiao hurried forward to help.

Qiao Huizhou drove her away, "Go, go play somewhere else. Your dad and I are almost done. Don't interfere."

She could only shrug helplessly, "Okay, that's what you said, don't scold me for lying on the sofa instead of working."

Qiao Huizhou smiled and shook his head, "Okay, I said, go sit down."

Qiao Huizhou accumulated ten consecutive draws and drew an R-level card.

[Congratulations on winning an R-level card air purifier fan*1]

[Air Purifier Fan: Solar or battery-driven, can accelerate air flow within a certain range and purify the surrounding air, with an effective range of 10 square meters to 500 square meters]

It is just right for use now when it is impossible to open windows for ventilation.

The blue card disappeared, and what appeared on the table was a 30-centimeter-tall small fan that looked nothing special.

After installing the battery, the fan blades start to rotate. As the speed increases, a cool breeze gradually spreads throughout the house, and the moisture and the smell of food slowly dissipate.

In the afternoon, Qiao Qiao sorted out the supplies in the system backpack. Seeing the firewood and coal, he couldn't help but think of the extreme cold that was about to come.

"Dad, Mom, the next natural disaster is extreme cold. Although we don't know exactly when it will come, it's better to be prepared. Recently, the fire wall of the earthen kang in the bedroom on the second floor and the fireplace in the living room can be lit."

Both of them thought it made sense.

The flues of the fireplace and the earthen kang have been modified, and because it is on the top floor, safety is fully guaranteed.

Qiao Xinghe lived in the countryside when he was a child and knew how to start a fire.

This kind of earthen kang cannot hold all the coal and firewood at once. The correct way to ignite it is to first put a layer of flammable material on the bottom of the stove, such as hay, shredded paper or corn cobs.

Light the paper and throw it into the stove. After the flammable materials are burning, add coal, firewood or corn cobs. Do not add too much at once, but add it gradually, little by little.

Lighting the stove in advance before the temperature drops is called "fumigate" in the old saying, so that the house will be warmer in the future.

The same is true for the fireplace. The temperature in the house rose instantly. The temperature outside was over 30 degrees, the stench was overwhelming, and the windows could not be opened. Qiao Qiao ran to the bedroom to get out the cooling pad and solar fan to cool down.

A scene of peaceful times.

The Federal Building also had a festive atmosphere.

"Sir, the supplies have been distributed. Here is the latest population registration form."

After the Chief Executive accepted it, the secretary continued to report.

"What about the disaster victims? Now that the rain has stopped, many people want to leave."

The officer quickly read the report and put it down.

"We can't leave now. We don't know what the next natural disaster will be. The gray fog will end and then heavy rain will come one day later. Notify them that they will only be allowed to leave if there is no trouble for at least three days."

"yes!"

Special Administration.

"Hahahaha, I finally drew an R-rated card!"

A man screamed wildly in the lobby of the Special Administration Bureau.

Others who heard it surrounded it like hyenas pouncing on their prey.

"R-level card? What kind of card? Is it out?"

"I'll take it too!"

"I came here first, don't push, don't push! Do you understand the rule of first come first served?"

The man lowered his head and carefully examined the detailed description of the card.

[Congratulations on obtaining R-level card condensation bubble * 10]

[Water bubble: The size of a ping-pong ball, each can compress 5 liters of water and can last for a year. Just squeeze the bubble to burst it.]

"Sell me, sell me, and I'll give you a house."

"What's the use of the house now? I'll give you 10 kilograms of compressed biscuits!"

"I'll give you 1 liter of drinking water!"
