Chapter 54 Crow, Crow, the Goods Are Departing

After seeing Wang Ning and Zhao Bowen off, Lao Bai and Xiao Bai sat back down on the sofa in the living room. They had discussed the matter of BG4MSR many times.

Lao Bai is an experienced old HAM. Although he has not touched amateur radio much in recent years, his foundation is still there and he is still the top amateur radio expert in Nanjing.

When he was young, he dragged Wang Ning and Zhao Bowen to play expedition games. He collected a lot of QSL cards, and now they are all posted on the wall of Bai Yang's bedroom. The call sign of BG4MXH was once known around the world. HAMs at home and abroad all know that there is a famous Mr. BG4MXH in Area 4 who is a 59+ broadcaster. Everyone he meets will be 59+.

If this were the Middle Ages, then the honorable BG4MXH Baron Bai Zhen would have already made a name for himself on the world map. The young son of the baron, the young Baron Bai Yang, who inherited the call sign of BG4MXH, left his hometown to join the Western Expedition, from east to west, from places that speak Chinese to places that speak Pashto, then to places that speak Italian, and finally to places that speak English. The world would all praise the Baron's 59+——

Who are you?

I am BG4MXH.

Ah, you are the famous 59+ Baron! Look at the ICOM725 on your back, you really are him! Your 59+ spans the sky from east to west!

My mother took the cups on the coffee table and washed them, then brought two new cups and filled them with boiled water.

"Have you ever been back to see the house in your hometown?" Bai Zhen asked.

My mother, who was pouring water, looked up and asked, "The house in my hometown? The one in Lulou?"

Bai Zhen nodded.

"I haven't been back." Mom said, "You haven't been back, how can I go back?"

Bai Zhen was not a native of Nanjing. He moved to Nanjing with his parents when he was six years old. His hometown is Lulou Town, Pei County. Bai Yang's grandparents came to Nanjing to do business in the 1980s. At that time, reform and opening up were in full swing, and those who were brave enough were going into business. At that time, Mr. Bai and his wife, one worked in the county credit union and the other in the county supply and marketing cooperative. They were a two-income family in a state-owned unit and were originally the best of the best. But when they saw that the market economy was booming and those who were brave enough were getting rich, they gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, resigned and went to Nanjing to do business.

But the fact proves that those who get rich are indeed those who are courageous, but not all those who are courageous get rich.

Mr. and Mrs. Bai have struggled all their lives, but the only thing worth mentioning is that they saved up two houses before the housing prices went up wildly. When Bai Zhen got married, they sold both houses and bought two new ones, one big and one small. The big one is in Meihua Villa, for Bai Zhen to live in, and they live in the small one themselves.

They also have a self-built house in their hometown of Pei County, and they go back to visit their ancestors’ graves every Qingming Festival.

Pei County, yes, it is the hometown of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, and the place where he served as a village head.

It is now a county under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou City.

"What do you think about us selling this house and moving back to our hometown?" asked Lao Bai.

"You're crazy." Mom ignored him. "If you don't want this house and want to go back to your hometown, you can go back by yourself. This house cannot be sold. It must be left to our son."

"I plan to find some time to go back to my hometown, renovate the old house, and add a basement or something." Bai Zhen continued.

Bai Yang looked at his father with a little surprise.

Although my dad said he didn't believe it, his body was honest. He renovated the old house in his hometown this time just to leave a way out for himself, right?

Bai Yang estimated that his return to his hometown was more than just a simple renovation of the house. His hometown was in a village with a large area and few people. There was a large open space with enough space for him to display his talents. His father was a retired soldier who had served in the army for more than ten years. Although he looked like a greasy middle-aged man with nothing to do except talking when driving Didi, this lazy old man could also become a solid shield when his family faced a major threat.

"Besides adding a basement?" Bai Yang asked, "is there anything else to do?"

"We also need to thicken the walls, using thick steel plates sandwiched between concrete. It would be best if they could withstand 12.7mm caliber fire. We also need to block the windows and leave holes for firing." Bai Zhen replied, "We need to dig a well in the basement and have an adequate supply of fresh water. Without fresh water, we can't hold out for long. We also need to prepare enough food, power generation, fuel, medicine, and transportation to last at least three months for five people."

Bai Zhen looked very serious, which scared his mother.

"Old White, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm saying that if the end of the world is coming, we have to prepare early." Bai Zhen replied.

"Why not move to New Zealand, or Australia?" Bai Yang took a deep breath. "There are fewer people in those places, and they are uninhabited. They are smaller targets."

"You won't survive if you move to those places." Bai Zhen shook his head. "Everything has two sides. Crowds can bring chaos, but they can also bring help. According to my experience, in a major disaster, you still can't leave the organization, or you can't leave the organization too far."

Bai Yang lay down on the sofa and looked at the ceiling.

No one knows what will happen when disaster strikes.

What if it’s like Thanos did, where he snapped his fingers and half of the people on Earth disappeared?

Then nothing will work.

When Dad described word by word how to build the shelter, Bai Yang truly felt that he was about to face the end of the world. It finally emerged from the illusory radio and appeared in his real life. It truly changed his life, changed the content of Dad's conversations, and changed the house in his hometown. It is foreseeable that its changes to the world will become bigger and more obvious, and will be out of control.

It will be impossible for me to return to a normal life, going to and from school every day, watching movies at Wanda on weekends, eating at Xinjiekou, riding a bicycle with the eldest brother Yan. Those daily lives that I have long been accustomed to, with laughter and noise, will be gone forever and will disappear into ashes in the near future.

And it cannot be repeated.

Bai Yang suddenly became frightened.

Although the end of the world has not yet come, when he looks back at his past life, he feels it is completely different, as if an apple on the coffee table has suddenly become precious.

People are really this kind of creatures. They don't know how to cherish when they have inexhaustible resources, and only know to grab them when they are about to lose them.

Bai Yang looked at his father and mother's faces. He couldn't imagine how his life would be destroyed. Would his father survive? Would his mother survive? Would all his relatives, friends, and classmates survive? What would be their fate? Would He Dashao and Yan Zhihan die? How would they die? Would it be painful?

The feeling of powerlessness seized Bai Yang's limbs, and he was horrified to find that although he knew the final outcome, he was powerless to resist and change it. It was like a huge wave carrying millions of tons of sea water, slow but unstoppable. What was the power of a mere one person in front of it?

He tried to look forward. At that point in time five years later, there would be a huge black, endless wall standing in front of him, and everyone would be smashed to pieces against that wall.

The scary thing is that no one can delay the arrival of that day, and the whole world can only sit and wait for death.

The next day.

Wang Ning received five brand new time capsules.

It may be difficult for Taobao merchants to understand why this customer bought so many time capsules and even included a note in the express package.

It says that the capsule contains no copper, so refining it is useless; the capsule contains no silver, so selling it is useless; the capsule contains no gold, so donating it is also useless.

In accordance with the agreement, Wang Ning prepared the disposable medical supplies, tritium tubes, the world-famous painting "Penguins and Minnie in Court", and copper sulfate pentahydrate crystals that were not agreed upon.

Wang Ning was careful here. Both disposable medical supplies and tritium tubes were goods known to everyone, so he wanted to put an item known only to him in the capsule. This way, he could ensure that he could be independent of the plan and avoid being fooled by a group of people.

When it comes to such an important issue, he is unwilling to fully trust anyone, including his long-time friends Lao Zhao and Lao Bai. He only trusts himself.

Copper sulfate pentahydrate crystals are also a simple time recorder. Anyone who has studied high school chemistry knows that copper sulfate pentahydrate crystals are light blue, but they will gradually weather over a long period of time, turning from light blue to colorless crystals. Wang Ning put a bag of copper sulfate and a bag of desiccant in the time capsule as a means of recording time in addition to the tritium tube.

After being left in a dry environment for twenty years, the copper sulfate pentahydrate crystals will completely weather into anhydrous copper sulfate, and finally turn into white crystals that no one can tell what they are.

Only if BG4MSR correctly answers both the brightness of the tritium tube and the color of the crystal, will Wang Ning believe that this is true.

Apart from Wang Ning himself, no one else would know that there were extra copper sulfate crystals in the time capsule. This eliminated the possibility of being deceived by collusion. This was his own means of verification.

After sealing the time capsule, Wang Ning wrapped it with layers of plastic cloth, and finally called Xiao Zhu as planned.

Wang Ning, wearing a vest and shorts, wearing plastic slippers and carrying two large bags, hurried downstairs. Xiao Zhu was already waiting for him downstairs, wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a baseball cap, covering his face tightly.

Wang Ning looked him up and down and nodded in satisfaction.

No one can tell that he is Xiao Zhu.

"Brother Wang, what do you want me to do? You're in such a hurry." Xiao Zhu was a little curious, "What do you want me to deliver? Is that what you're carrying?"

Wang Ning's expression suddenly fell.

"Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu, you must help Brother Wang." Wang Ning's eyes were filled with tears, his tone was sad and angry, and he spoke quickly. While speaking, he turned his head and looked upstairs, as if someone was chasing him. "Otherwise, I will jump into Xuanwu Lake... Your sister-in-law kicked me out of the house."

Xiao Zhu was shocked.

"What's going on, Brother Wang? What happened between you and your sister-in-law?"

"Your sister-in-law said I cheated on her." Wang Ning was desperate. "She said I cheated on her and wanted to divorce me."

Xiao Zhu was horrified.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't interfere in his leader's family affairs.

A couple may fight in bed and reconcile at the foot of the bed. If he, as an outsider, interferes and waits for them to reconcile, he will be in trouble.

"You must help me."

"Okay, okay, Brother Wang, just tell me. I, I, I will do my best to refuse."

"Please help me take away the person your sister-in-law has identified as having an affair. Hurry up and take him away as soon as possible." Wang Ning sighed, "She said that if these things are in the house, she won't let me go to bed for a day... She's already made a big fuss if she only found one. If she found all of them, she'd be dead."

Xiao Zhu's eyes fell on the black plastic bag in Wang Ning's hand and he was immediately shocked.

Is this the person that Brother Wang cheated with?

Why is it divided into several bags?

"Wang...Brother Wang, what's in this...this bag?"

Xiao Zhu prepared to escape.

Wang Ning took a step closer, looked around and saw no one, and lowered his voice mysteriously:

"Masturbation cup."

Xiao Zhu was petrified on the spot.

"Your sister-in-law said that I was disloyal to her by using this thing, not paying public grain, and evading taxes. She chopped the one she found with a kitchen knife, which scared me half to death, so I rushed to rescue the rest. Now I have nowhere to put it, but I don't want to throw it away. You know, these are all good things I carefully selected, the pair of heart. Wouldn't it be a pity to destroy them?" Wang Ning continued, "So please help me pass them to my friend for temporary storage, and take them back after the storm has passed."

"Brother Wang, do you want to take it back?"

"Of course, after all, you've been with me for so many years, and we have feelings for each other."

Xiao Zhu nodded blankly.

Even if he was given another head, he didn't know that he was called by Brother Wang to help with this, and he handed it over to his friend for temporary storage? What if his friend used it?

Xiao Zhu lifted the heavy black plastic bag in his hand. He took a look inside and vaguely saw an enchanting picture with white buttocks and waving breasts.

The simple and kind-hearted Xiao Zhu did not look at it for long and quickly withdrew his gaze, not wanting to look at anything inappropriate.

At the same time secretly complaining:

Wow, so many? Is Wang Ge manually building a harem?

Wang Ning then informed Xiao Zhu of the specific location and time of the meeting, and told him that the meeting person was easy to find. Just look for someone who was wearing sunglasses, masks and hats like him on such a hot day. After finding him, don't say much, just hand the bag to him. Xiao Zhu nodded. He finally understood why Brother Wang wanted him to wrap himself so tightly. It really took some protection to transport this thing.

Xiao Zhu set off with the bag.

The plan started to work.

Wang Ning watched his back disappear at the gate of the community, retracted his expression, took out his cell phone and made a call:

"Crow, crow, the goods are on their way."
