Jiang Ning tried it secretly, but it didn't work when he was fishing out the gas tank. But now... there is no problem collecting things in the bucket.

Whether or not you can collect things underwater should be related to the water depth, pressure, and mental strength.

So, it’s really hard to say.

"The earthquake caused severe damage, and the city became a ruin. The base will also be affected. Reconstruction or technological development will require a large amount of building materials and metals. We must prepare in advance."

Many factories are submerged in floodwaters and will gradually emerge from the water as the extreme heat continues.

He needs to collect them in advance, especially special metal materials, which can be basically taken out by the military later on, so as to avoid competing with other survivors for resources and allow Jiang Ning and Doudou to live a good life.

“I’m not sure if I can take it, but I can try.”

It's right to get ahead of others. Jiang Ning wants to find more building materials to donate to the municipal government so that he can get a housing quota in the new city area after the earthquake reconstruction and have a safe life.

Don't think about building a house and living alone in the suburbs or mountains. That will only make you die faster.

The population dropped sharply due to the earthquake, the living environment became worse, and the scope of security patrols that the municipal government could radiate became narrower and narrower.

The areas that are not affected by the radiation will become a paradise for demons.

Their goals were the same, and they both smiled knowingly.

It was a rare occasion when the two were away, so Huo Yishen gently hugged Jiang Ning and was about to give him a kiss when the intercom suddenly started rustling...

Jiang Ning tried to hold back his laughter and pushed him.

Lu Yu was very excited on the other end, "Brother Shen, the country has announced the base, when are we going there?"

Upon learning that Lu Yu and the others were planning to go to the base, Huo Yi looked at Jiang Ning deeply. Seeing that she was not particularly surprised, he said, "Sorry, Aning and I have no plans to go into the base."

There was silence on the other end, and no one spoke for a long time.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

All members of 1803 came over. They didn’t understand why Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen were unwilling to enter the base. They were also afraid that if they arrived too late, there would be no seats left.

After all, two fists are no match for four hands. The current living environment is becoming more and more difficult. No matter how powerful the 18th floor is, it is not an iron wall. If a large number of people die outside one day, it would be strange if they don’t turn into demons and rush to the 18th floor.

Even though the base is not as good as imagined, it is still much better than the outside world. At least I don’t have to worry every day.

"Brother Shen, why?"

They couldn't understand why the two were unwilling to choose a base?

This matter cannot be explained in just a few words. Huo Yishen asked 1803 to come in. He sat with Jiang Ning and said sternly: "I was a special police officer before I retired. I am more familiar with the military and police system than you..."

He analyzed the difference between the military base and the official base in detail with the three people. "The natural disaster came suddenly, and the base is still under construction. There is no shortage of work at this time, but they are also short of survival supplies. It is still difficult to get enough food. If you do heavy physical work, you should be able to eat 60% to 70% full.

Aning took care of Coke and I took care of Doudou. Especially since Doudou was still growing, it was unrealistic to rely on two people doing hard labor to feed four mouths.

It is a bit dangerous to stay in the city, but the city has complete industrial infrastructure, it is easier to recruit talents from all walks of life, and it is faster to restore and rebuild, so Aning and I plan to stay. "

After listening to Huo Yishen's analysis, Zhang Chao and Lu Yu's eyes lit up, but then they seemed to think of something and couldn't help but dim a little.

Jiang Ning suddenly realized. No wonder these two guys were so depressed these days. It turned out that they were planning to leave.

If I remember correctly, Zheng Weili's hometown is Huicheng. Although she is optimistic by nature, she is not a talkative person.

It has been more than a year since the natural disaster, and she has never said anything about missing home, but who would miss home if they have a home?

The water level was dropping day by day. She should have made plans to go home and told Lu Yu about it.

Lu Yu is an orphan, without a home or any ties, so he would definitely choose to go with Zheng Weili.

As for Zhang Chao, to be realistic, if he fights alone, it is a question of how far he can go.

So, he has to make a choice.

But whether he leaves or stays, he seems to be a light bulb.

Jiang Ning actually wanted him to stay, but as an orphan she was more sensitive. Plus, she and Huo Yishen were relatively cold-tempered, so he would be more comfortable getting along with Lu Yu and Zheng Weili.

But after all, I grew up in Fengcheng. If it was a natural disaster, it wouldn't matter if I went to another city, but now it means unknown risks and confusion about the future.

Besides, he went there as a light bulb.

So among the three people, he is the most conflicted.

In fact, it's not just him. If given a choice, Lu Yu would not want to leave either, so the two of them particularly hope to continue to team up and enter the base.

Zheng Weili also hopes that the two of them can advance and retreat together. After all, she is very satisfied with the current situation. When she returns to Huicheng to find her family, she will also find a way to enter the base.

But she also knew that Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen were both capable and they had more choices.

So, ultimately, it comes down to a vote.

The answer remains unchanged, 1803 chooses the base, Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen stay.

When the water level disappears, it will be the day we say goodbye on the 18th floor.

However, Lu Yu was still unsure about the future. "Brother Shen, do you think it is better to join the official base or the military base?"

It is true that they have food, but not much. Each person needs 50 kilograms of food to enter the base, which is like cutting off the flesh from one's own thigh.

"It's up to you to choose. Official bases are freer, and military bases are safer. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages."

Huo Yishen couldn't give any advice, but as a friend he still reminded them: "When the water recedes, you'd better find a car and leave. It's not realistic to walk to the base."

Once the news comes out, many survivors who have supplies will take all their belongings and head to the base.

If you don't go out, no one knows who has supplies at home, and you can't steal anything by robbing them on the road, but it's a different story if you catch someone moving.

The survivors are fast, but there are more robbers. They will set up a dragnet on the road to the base, waiting to harvest the survivors' supplies.

Not to mention, even Zheng Weili forgot about this.

After being reminded by Huo Yishen, the three people's faces immediately became serious.

Zhang Chao is worried, "After the flood and extreme cold, the cars were soaked in water and then frozen for a year. Can we still have good cars?"

Huo Yishen couldn't make any guarantees, but he tried his best to remind them for Jiang Ning's sake, but he couldn't interfere with their decision.

"We'll take it one step at a time," Jiang Ning said. "It's even more unrealistic to row a rubber boat to the base now. There's garbage and corpses everywhere, and it's easy to get infected with diseases. If you encounter robbers, they'll shoot your rubber boat to pieces, and you'll have no way to escape."

In her previous life, she had encountered someone who fled with all his property and returned in disgrace.

I was robbed just after leaving Fengcheng. Fortunately, the robbers still had a conscience and only wanted supplies, not lives.

If you meet someone with a black heart, you won't even have a chance to survive.

1803 With a heavy heart, he stood up and left...
