Chapter 67 Daily Life After the Water Supply Begins
When Ji Zai woke up the next day, he felt somewhat unwell.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the stickiness was on my body.
Yes, she hasn't showered for three days.
Ji Zai went in and took a shower, applying shower gel and creating soft, fragrant bubbles. After showering, he also washed his hair.
The water temperature is just right.
Nothing could be more comfortable.
When the records were published, it was discovered that Liang Qiyue had also gotten up.
The two of them ate a makeshift breakfast.
Then push open the door.
Then I noticed that it was all wet outside.
Ji Zai frowned as he looked at the rain. "What's going on? Why is it raining?"
Looking up, the sky was overcast.
This makes it difficult to go out.
As she stepped outside, she saw Nan Yao standing guard next door. Hearing this, she propped her head up and said, "Ji Zai, haven't you noticed? It's been cloudy for the past few days! The sun hasn't come out even once."
right.
Since the heatwave ended, the weather has been gloomy.
It won't light up no matter what I do.
They haven't seen a glimpse of the sun in the past few days.
Looking at the weather, Ji Zai was worried. "Heavens, it's really raining. It's been like this for days. Will we have a flood?"
"Probably not. I guess the reason it's raining now is because the previous high temperature turned Ning City into a steam room, and the heat couldn't dissipate, so it combined with the cold air from the upper atmosphere."
"That's why there was continuous heavy rain."
Looking at the gloomy sky, Nan Yao felt a little sad. "Because of the virus, no one dares to go out when it rains. We can only stay indoors. If it keeps raining like this, how are we any different from when it's hot?"
I thought life would be easier once the heatwave ended.
But now it seems that this was nothing short of wishful thinking.
I still can't go out.
The records are speechless.
After all, this weather is like tears after a breakup—it keeps flowing, keeps falling, and keeps harming innocent people.
As soon as Liang Qiyue came out, she saw Ji Zai standing there dumbfounded at the door, and Nan Yao standing next to him.
He immediately asked curiously, "What are you doing? Why do you all look so distressed? Come and help me, Ji Zai!"
Ji Zai looked over and asked, "What kind of help do you need?"
"Of course, it's for washing clothes! Before, there was no water, so we had to leave our clothes lying around, wearing them as we went, and they all got so sticky..."
"While there's water, hurry up and do the laundry!"
Ji Zai remembered the pile of dirty clothes that had been hidden under the bed.
There were many of them, and they smelled terrible.
Even her underwear is plentiful.
Because of the special nature of underwear, Ji Zai hasn't changed his underwear during this period.
Now that I suddenly remembered, I immediately stood up.
"Let's go, let's take over the washing machine! Let's wash the clothes as soon as possible! And then wash the underwear."
Liang Qiyue nodded, "Let's go."
Hearing them say that, Nan Yao also remembered her pile of dirty clothes, "Wait a minute, I'll go wash them too."
Then the three of them carried their clothes and walked toward the laundry room.
After arriving at the laundry room.
Ji Zao then discovered that the place was packed with people.
Upon seeing her, everyone instinctively called out, "Alliance Leader."
Ji Zai nodded, "You're here to do laundry too?"
Someone replied, "That's right, leader. It's been a month, and we've worn out all the clothes we can. Now that we have water and time, of course we should wash our clothes."
Everyone looks much cleaner because they took a shower last night.
My hair isn't sticky anymore.
You can smell a lingering fragrance when you get close.
Looking at so many people, Nan Yao was a little troubled. "It seems it won't be our turn for a while. Let's put the clothes down first and come back whenever they're finished washing."
It takes a little over an hour to do laundry.
Each person should wash at least once.
So it won't be their turn for a while.
Ji Zai had no choice but to queue up, grabbing a piece of clothing to reserve a spot. "Let's go back first. Since there are so many people here, waiting is pointless. Let's go wash our underwear first."
The others agreed.
When Ji Zai returned to the dormitory, he happened to run into Yang Le. She looked clean and tidy, but her complexion was not very good.
It's because of insufficient nutrition.
But there's nothing we can do about it; everyone does it this way.
What are you doing here?
Yang Le walked over and said, "I came to ask the president if there's anything we can do recently. Our food reserves are running low, and if this continues, we'll be running out of food."
The lack of food supply made the temporary workers uneasy.
So they can't stay idle.
Whenever I have free time, I go to Ouyang Yi's place to ask if there's anything I can help with.
Ji Zai revealed a look of sudden realization, "So that's how it is, but it's no use looking for it now. It's raining now, and it's forbidden to go out when it rains. Even if Ningmeng exploits you again, it won't risk your lives."
"Since you have some time, you should do some laundry too."
Yang Le nodded, "I know. If there's any work, be sure to contact us. We're not afraid of hardship or fatigue; we're willing to do anything, no matter how tiring."
"OK."
Ji Zai interpreted Yang Le's behavior of looking for work as a sign of unease.
They didn't have enough food reserves, so they were constantly worried about starving to death.
There was plenty of food in the storeroom, but none of it belonged to them.
All they could do was work to save up food.
This is the foundation for their survival.
That's why Yang Le kept coming to Ouyang Yi to ask.
After Yang Le left, Ji Zai began her special method of cleaning her personal clothing.
Because underwear is different from other clothes.
Regular clothes can be thrown into the public washing machine for a quick wash, but underwear is absolutely not allowed.
It can only be carefully washed by itself with water.
Ji Zai's personal clothes took a full half hour to wash.
After washing, she wanted to take it out to dry, but it was raining outside, so she didn't dare to dry it and could only let it air dry on the balcony.
After washing, she was shocked to find that there were very few clothes hangers left in the dormitory.
To get the remaining clothes, she had to scavenge clothes racks from other dorm rooms and ended up with a mere twenty or so.
Hmm, I think that's about all the clothes she has?
The rest is Liang Qiyue's; we can only hope for the best for her.
Ji Zai hummed a song as he returned to the laundry room, only to find that it was just their turn to wash.
Liang Qiyue stuffed the clothes into the washing machine. "Ji Zai, hurry up and wash them, there are still people in line behind us!"
The amount of clothes that the girls' dormitory stocked up on for a month was incalculable.
The clothes aren't dirty, they just smell.
So it needs to be put in the washing machine.
While waiting for their clothes, Ji Zai chatted with them, saying, "After the dorms got running water and electricity, everyone seems less sloppy, which is great. If they were still like they were a while ago, it would be despairing."
Nan Yao casually added, "No, our dorm was considered good after the apocalypse, but it still turned into a dirty and smelly place like a beggar's. I wonder what the people of Ning City are like now."
Nan felt sympathy for the others, but there wasn't much she could do.
After all, they themselves are barely able to take care of themselves.
Ji Zaiyi shuddered when he thought of how he looked a few days ago. "Please don't tell me, that's a dark history."
Liang Qiyue nodded in agreement, "That was definitely the most painful dark period of my life."
The three of them exchanged glances, expressing their disgust at their own appearance.
That was really dirty.
Ji Zai ran her fingers through her hair and found it to be dry and yellow. She sighed, "My hair is all yellow and dry. It looks so lifeless."
