The three of them were busy repeating the same thing until they got bored and took the tablet to watch TV.
Everyone wanted to watch different things, and in the end, under Xie Purou's absolute say, they decided to watch "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
At first, they both shouted that they didn't want to watch it, but as they watched, they actually started arguing about the plot.
"Hua Fei is definitely a good person!"
"She's so in love right away that even the zombies shake their heads when they see her."
“That’s a good guy too!”
"You don't understand a woman's possessiveness. Who can tolerate a man having a harem? Just wait, she's going to be a bitch."
…
Seeing them so lively relieved her boredom.
Day 3.
However, it was only noon when Xie Purou and Qiu Kan traded another batch of canned food and instant food.
They even gave two of the water vending machines they had just drawn to their base.
Looking at it this way, the three vending machines provided to the Flame Base are the most.
The central base didn't dare to use the water vending machines it received recklessly. They were so stingy that each base only had two machines, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be enough to share.
She drew ten machines this time, and now has eight left. Giving them to Zhou Ke should be able to alleviate their urgent needs.
As long as you get through the extreme heat, when you're most short of water, you'll be fine.
"If you leave, I don't know how long it will take before I can eat such delicious food again."
Qiu Kan considered himself not a person who cared much about food, but now he understood that he just had not encountered any food that was really delicious.
It's strange that he eats so much every day during the few days when the grape food truck comes.
The yogurt that I used to dislike or even hate doesn’t seem to be so disgusting anymore.
The cup of milk tea that Xie Purou forced upon him opened the door to a new world for him. It turned out that the taste of milk tea was very complex, with both the aroma of tea and the mellow aroma of milk. It was not sweet water mixed with milk as he had thought.
"Honestly, I really can't bear to part with your...craftsmanship."
Xie Purou chirped beside him, "If you like it, come to the B&B next time you have a chance. Our hot pot is even better. I go there once a week! It's really delicious."
"And the pork trotter rice at our B&B is delicious."
Qiu Kan looked at her expression and chuckled, "Really? This isn't false advertising, is it?"
Xie Purou glared at him, "You can suspect me of cheating, but you can't doubt my craftsmanship!"
It’s okay to question her character, but it’s not okay to question her craftsmanship!
"Hahaha, then I look forward to seeing you next time." Qiu Kan didn't ask her if she would come next time. As fate would have it, they would meet again.
"Commander, First Base is contacting you."
Qiu Kan took the satellite phone handed to him by his subordinate and answered it.
Xie Purou was a little embarrassed and was wondering whether she should leave when she was stopped.
"Shopkeeper, looking for you."
"Me?" Xie Purou pointed at herself, wondering if she had heard it wrong.
Qiu Kan placed the phone in front of her and said, "I'm looking for you."
I took the phone, answered it doubtfully, and asked tentatively, "Hello?"
"Hello, are you the owner of Grape B&B?"
The other person's voice was not Zhou Ke's. It sounded very unfamiliar, so she calmed herself down.
"Yes, what's the matter?"
The other party was silent for a moment, then spoke: "I am the director of the First Base Hospital. I am bothering you to ask, I heard that the temperature in your guesthouse is comfortable and there is a hospital. Can you accommodate pregnant women?"
"A pregnant woman?" Xie Pu Rou was really dumbfounded and couldn't believe what she heard.
"There are probably less than two hundred expectant mothers. May I ask if you can?" The other party's tone was pleading and sounded very sincere.
"Our hospital doesn't have enough staff to take care of pregnant women. Sorry."
Xie Purou isn't inhumane, but her hospital only has three robot doctors! What can she do?
There was no sound from the other end of the arc.
Xie Purou asked: "Did something happen?"
"The weather is too hot, and the risk of childbirth is increased for mothers."
That’s right, in weather where even breathing is difficult, giving birth requires so much energy. How can a woman give birth if she can’t breathe?
Were there so few women giving birth in the apocalypse? There were only less than four hundred of them. No wonder she had never seen a pregnant woman.
She was struggling internally. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she didn't really want to have other base staff on her territory.
All the contradictions and struggles finally turned into a sigh.
Forget it, saving lives is more important.
"Our B&B hospital is large enough and has enough beds. If you can send someone to take care of the pregnant woman and deliver the baby, we can provide the space."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person on the other side could no longer hide his tears of joy.
"Let's make it clear first. I'll only provide the venue. You'll still need to pay points for anything you want to use. This includes maternity hospitalization, medical supplies, and doctor's accommodation. You'll need to spend points."
There were bursts of cheers coming from the other side, and everyone present could hear them.
The other party could no longer suppress his excitement and said, "Thank you, owner. We will arrange for the mother to be transferred by the hotel bus."
After hanging up the phone, she took a deep breath and felt the burden on her shoulders become heavier.
Qiu Kan looked at her with a look of mixed emotions in his eyes. "You actually agreed?"
"What do you mean? It's not like they won't pay points."
Qiu Kan frowned, "Aren't you afraid that the military will take the opportunity to sneak in and find out something if you do this?"
She raised her face and said, "I'm very transparent. There's nothing to find out. The base can only cooperate with me."
If you don't cooperate with her, it will not only mean you are doomed, but also that you are not far from death.
They couldn't spend their crystal cores, and even if they did, the supplies they could get in exchange would definitely not be as much as what they could buy from her.
She smiled slightly: "If everyone is so narrow-minded and only focuses on immediate interests, then sooner or later we will be eliminated by natural disasters."
*
The dean who had just spoken to her on the other end of the phone was in the hospital. After hanging up the phone, everyone on the other end had a happy look on their faces.
"Did the shop owner really agree?"
"Promised. Select a group of medical staff to take care of the pregnant woman, and we'll be off."
"The family of the woman who gave birth will pack up and leave for the B&B at 6pm."
The decision was made in a few words, and some people in the room were happy while others were sad.
After the end of the world, fewer and fewer people are getting pregnant. Experts have found that because of the disaster, the human body produces a certain hormone, which makes conception increasingly difficult and pregnancy uncomfortable.
Originally, normal pregnancies did not require early hospitalization, but now, due to various factors such as weather, pregnancies of more than eight months require hospitalization to protect the fetus, and pregnancies of nine months require preparation for delivery at any time.
Humanity absolutely cannot survive without new births. How can we talk about the future if the birth rate cannot keep up?
No one knows whether the apocalypse will end, whether the zombies will be eliminated, when the natural disasters will stop, and whether there will be another one after this one stops.
