Chapter 131: Stockpiling Plan
You Zhenzhen, who was sitting in the back seat, was also stunned by this rocket launcher.
According to the plan, You Xi and Tang Yatong would leave the hotel for a long time this time. They were not confident about leaving You Zhenzhen alone in the room when the situation in the scenic area became chaotic. After all, they were too far away. If something really happened, they would not be able to rush back.
But in fact, You Zhenzhen was also unwilling to let You Xi and "Qu Yichen" go out alone.
It was not because she had any thoughts about "Qu Yichen". She and You Xi were telling the truth. She really didn't like each other. She was even a little annoyed by the pursuit of each other in the past.
Now, she didn't know if "he" was irritated by "his" parents' affairs, but he didn't pester her like before. But the problem was that "he" seemed to be pestering her mother.
She knew her mother was very beautiful and looked to be in her thirties. In fact, many boys in the school had secretly said that the head teacher of Senior 3 (1) was beautiful and elegant, and everyone liked her class.
"Qu Yichen"'s parents had lost contact and might have been killed. For this reason, she also felt sympathy for them. But sympathy was sympathy, "he" couldn't take advantage of her pity to occupy her mother!
What was even more unacceptable was that "he" had recently liked to look at her with the eyes of an elder, and occasionally pressed her head in the way of an elder, and even spoke to her in the tone of an elder.
This made You Zhenzhen speechless. She always had a feeling that the other party seemed to be going to "do something big" beyond their age.
This feeling happened every day, and it became stronger and stronger. She took care of Qu's father and mother's affairs and kept silently holding it in.
Until she heard the other party calling her mother "Xiaoxi" behind her back...
You Zhenzhen:...
She finally couldn't help it. Two days ago, when the other party left the room alone, she followed him silently.
"What's wrong?" The other person stood in the garden behind the building, frowned slightly and looked at her, his tone a little helpless, "You ran out by yourself suddenly? Have you told your mother? Even in the hotel these two days, it is not 100% safe. You should at least tell your mother before you come out. Be obedient, don't be too willful, and let your mother worry less about you."
You Zhenzhen looked at the other person's face, which was as young and tender as her own, and her tone was even more helpless when she spoke: "Although I don't like you, you can't fall in love with my mother!"
Tang Yatong:...
She froze there as she lowered her head to light a cigarette.
"I know that what happened recently has hit you hard, and I understand that boys all have an Oedipus complex, but that's my mother... This kind of love is not appropriate, you have no future, and there will be no results."
Tang Yatong:...
I like your mother!
"Okay, that's all I have to say. You should think about the rest carefully." You Zhenzhen added before leaving, "Although I admire your courage, I really can't accept you as my father, so..." Tang Yatong
:...
Don't go, come back, and make things clear...
You Xi found that Tang Yatong seemed particularly haggard after coming back from smoking outside that day, and You Zhenzhen followed her very closely from that day on. It
would be fine if she went out alone, but if she went out with Tang Yatong for a while, she would always find a reason to go out with them.
You Xi thought this was a manifestation of You Zhenzhen's lack of security. After all, everyone was trapped in the scenic area and the atmosphere was getting tense, so she didn't think much about it, and didn't know that this cheap daughter had already thought about it to the sky.
On this day, when the tsunami alarm and typhoon alarm sounded at the same time, Youxi and Tang Yatong both had a premonition that after this disaster, the entire scenic area would be in complete chaos.
The chaotic world is about to begin, and there is no need to hide it in this situation. In the future, the strength will prevail, and ordinary aborigines will not be able to do anything to them. The only thing they need to guard against is other taskers.
However, in such a small fragmented world, the probability of other taskers appearing is not high.
Youxi put away the small rocket launcher and did not forget to turn back to comfort You Zhenzhen: "Don't be afraid."
You Zhenzhen shook her head very obediently, then thought of something and looked at "Qu Yichen" in the driver's seat. Compared with Youxi's sudden use of lethal weapons, she was more worried about her space being exposed to outsiders.
"She's a companion, so she knew it a long time ago. Don't worry, she won't tell anyone, you have to trust my judgment of people."
When You Xi said these words, another lightning struck nearby. She reminded them to sit still, and once again paid full attention to the road conditions nearby.
The fallen tree trunks were relatively easy to deal with, but the most worrying thing was another landslide, which would completely block the mountain road.
Although she and Tang Yatong could protect You Zhenzhen and pass on foot, there were several people in the car behind them, and they couldn't take so many people back and guarantee their safety.
Therefore, the only way was to hurry back before the situation got worse.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly and turned back as soon as they found something wrong. In addition, they drove fast and finally drove back to the hotel before the thunderstorm came.
"Is it safer for us to stay in the car for the time being?" Chen Lei and his son's voice came from the intercom.
"Now it's not just a thunderstorm, there is also a typhoon behind. Drive the car directly to the front of the hotel, get out and rush in, and don't worry about the car!"
Two cars drove to the front of the door one after another, braked suddenly, and several people rushed into the lobby with others who ran back to the hotel.
Outside, the sky changed color, and lightning struck one after another. People ran indoors in panic to avoid it. Some people ran slowly and were accidentally hit by lightning, and fell to the ground without a sound.
Wang Fen originally came out with her husband to get food. Their group had a hard time recently. The families that appeared in the video that day had long been excluded by others.
After all, the others had never revealed their ugly confessions in public, and sometimes they could buy some food by relying on their children to beg for mercy.
Wang Fen's family was among those who were excluded, which made her hate Zheng Kun even more, and naturally it was impossible for her to act with him again. In the past few days, they relied on buying food at high prices to barely survive.
A loaf of bread that originally cost a few yuan now sells for 20 or 30 yuan in the scenic area, and they have to spend nearly 100 yuan to buy one or two loaves of bread.
Others treated them as fools, buying food there and reselling it here, and using the extra money to buy other food.
Fortunately, there were not many tourists on the mountain, and the hotel did not raise the price, so they barely survived.
When the typhoon alarm sounded, they had just paid, but the other party had not given them the food. They urged them to give it back, but the other party just left the store and ran to his hotel.
The crowd outside was in chaos. Wang Fen and her husband lost the person after chasing for a few steps. Then they remembered that their son had to wait in the room, so they returned to the store helplessly and begged for food. Finally, they found another person who was willing to sell them food.
But this time, the price was higher.
The typhoon was coming, and there was no food in their room. They had to buy it no matter how high the price was. They finally bought the food and ran out of the store. The thunderstorm came.
A bolt of lightning struck near them, blasting a bush and scaring the two people.
"No, let's go to the store first!" Seeing that the situation was not right, the two ran to the nearest store, but they were a step too late. The door of the store had just been closed from the inside.
They knocked on the door hard, but the people inside ignored them.
"Please, open the door! Lightning is coming soon. Open the door and let us in. We still have time!"
After pleading, the other party was about to open the door, but someone saw their faces through the window and directly revealed their identities,
so the person who opened the door stopped immediately. "Go somewhere else quickly! There are too many people in the store and we can't stay!" They were unwilling to take the risk of opening the door to let such people in, because who knows what they will do after entering.
When Wang Fen and her husband begged to open the door outside to no avail, they finally realized the helpless despair.
Outside, lightning and thunder were like twisted electric snakes, striking down all over the scenic area.
**
A floor-to-ceiling glass in the hotel lobby made a loud bang, and a big hole was blown out of the glass and the wooden board nailed inside.
The lobby of the hotel where Youxi and her friends stayed was the same as other hotels in the scenic area. In order to highlight the green plants and scenery outside, there was an entire wall made of floor-to-ceiling glass.
When the last typhoon came, most of the glass had been reinforced, some with wooden boards, some with tape, cardboard and leather.
The reinforcements that could once withstand even super typhoons could not withstand the power of lightning.
The glass and wooden boards were shattered, and the raging wind poured in from the gap, indicating that the typhoon was approaching.
People who were originally near the floor-to-ceiling glass windows screamed and retreated. Some people were cut by the exploded glass and blood flowed all over the floor. Several hotel staff hurriedly helped the person to sit on the sofa far away from the glass, took out the medical kit to stop the bleeding, and several hotel staff pushed the sofa forward, trying to block the broken gap.
But then there were several more deafening thunders, and then two more glass windows were blown out.
"The typhoon is coming soon. The lobby can't be saved. Everyone hurry up and go upstairs. Don't take the elevator. Reinforce the glass windows in the room again. If that doesn't work, take drinking water and hide in the bathroom!"
Tang Yatong held a loud speaker and spoke loudly amid the rumbling thunder, indicating a direction for the panicked people. "Even if you are not a guest of this hotel, go to the front desk to get the room cards for the vacant rooms. Save your life first at this time! Guests living on high floors are advised to temporarily take shelter on the lower floors. This typhoon is expected to be stronger than the last one! Everyone remember to get drinking water first!"
After she shouted, all the people who ran into the hotel for shelter started to move. The Chen family father and son also took a few technical personnel to the front desk to get the room cards. She greeted them and followed Youxi and the others back to their room.
The window of this suite should be the most reinforced in the entire hotel. After entering the room, Youxi looked at the observation hole that was left empty before, and split another bed board to block the empty hole.
She remembered something, handed the hammer and long iron nails to Tang Yatong, and asked her to reinforce the wooden boards nailed in before. She took out two more hammers and a bag of long iron nails from the Xingwu warehouse, took out a backpack and threw some bottled water, instant noodles, ham sausage and instant rice into it, and then waited at the staircase for Chen Lei and his group who were about to go upstairs.
They formed a team these days, and among the other team, only Chen Lei and his son were temporarily invited to the meeting, and later several reliable local technicians in the scenic area were added.
But she knew that Chen Lei actually had a few other people on his side. Because she didn't know them well, she didn't have time to interact with them for the time being, but they would meet later.
Giving some food to Chen Lei and his son now was also meant to let him establish his authority in his team.
"Okay! Got it!" The other party was actually quite scared when he saw You Xi. After all, it was a peaceful era, and ordinary people could not even hold a gun, but she used a rocket launcher as soon as she attacked.
But on the other hand, it was also possible that she was an elite figure in some military unit, and only people in the military could take care of the people in the entire scenic area under such circumstances and want to open up the mountain road. Thinking of
this, although Chen Lei was a little scared in his heart, he also understood that the situation did not allow him to be arrogant.
He took the backpack and found that in addition to hammers and tools, there were also plenty of food and water. At this time, it is self-evident how important such food is.
He was grateful in his heart and really needed it, so he did not pretend to refuse, but thanked her seriously.
The room cards that Chen Lei and his son helped the technicians to get were also on the fourth floor. The group thanked You Xi and quickly ran up the stairs.
After You Xi returned to the room, he moved the long bar of the suite and propped up the door of the room.
Rumble - there were several deafening thunders outside, and the lights in the room flashed twice and went out.
The power supply system of the scenic area should have been destroyed by the lightning just now, but the hotel usually has its own generator. After the external power supply is destroyed, the generator will start to operate on its own, but the generator also needs fuel to work.
Normally, it can provide about 4-5 hours of power at a time, and then it needs to be manually added with fuel.
The backup generator is usually placed on the ground floor of the hotel, and I don’t know if anyone can go and add fuel in time in this case.
As Youxi was thinking, the lights in the room came on again, but after starting the emergency power supply, all electrical appliances except lighting could not be used.
Fortunately, these had no effect on Youxi and Tang Yatong.
There is also a backup gasoline generator in Youxi’s warehouse. It is small and convenient, and very quiet when used. Combined with the gasoline in her fuel space, they can always have electricity.
You Zhenzhen sat on the sofa, a little uneasy, using her mobile phone to check the situation outside, trying to understand the situation outside as much as possible before the signal was cut off.
Tang Yatong threw the hammer back to You Xi and took out a change of clothes from the travel bag beside her: "While there is still water, take a shower quickly."
You Zhenzhen: ...
Facts have proved that Tang Yatong's decision is correct. Two hours later, the backup power supply is still available, but the water is cut off. No one knows where the water pipe has been damaged.
The hotel also has a backup water source, but this thing is different from electricity produced by fuel. It cannot be regenerated after use, so the hotel has not opened the backup water source for the time being.
Outside the building, a roaring hurricane is raging across the entire scenic area, accompanied by heavy rain and rumbling thunder.
The outer wall of the room is constantly hit by unknown objects, making a loud bang, and occasionally when the impact is strong, the people inside can feel the building shaking slightly.
Compared with other travelers hiding in the room, feeling uneasy and confused, the atmosphere in the first suite on the second floor near the stairs is particularly relaxed.
In the ordinary world, what would people do if they were trapped in the house during heavy rain?
They can't use electronic products or go out. They can only stay at home, cook some delicious food, and then get together to play chess and cards.
You Zhenzhen looked down at the poker cards in her hand, still not recovering from the shock of You Xi taking out mahjong, poker cards, and flying chess.
She thought her mother was joking and deliberately testing her sense of crisis in the disaster, but the result...
In addition to entertainment items, she also took out three cups of milk tea of different flavors, potato chips, spicy strips, lychees, 9-palace mousse cake, fried squid tentacles, spicy chicken wings...
While taking them, she sighed: "It's a rare opportunity that I can't go anywhere, so let's relax for a while today."
You Zhenzhen still went to see "Qu Yichen" first. It was one thing for the other party to know that her mother had time, but seeing her take out such rich supplies all of a sudden, would "he" become more obsessed with her mother, and from then on develop a mentality of seeking support, and cling to her mother?
Tang Yatong, who felt the anti-thief gaze, said: …
I feel so haggard and want to smoke…
**
Four hours later, the network signal was completely cut off. They could not go online to check the situation outside, but from what they saw before the network was cut off, the situation of the entire Lushan Peninsula was not good.
The tsunami that landed in the northern coastal areas has destroyed nearly half of several coastal cities in the north. The super typhoon has also affected the entire Lushan Peninsula, and even the western areas close to the inland have been hit by heavy rain.
Many convoys and supplies that were previously carrying out rescue missions were blocked on the road and could not move forward. At the same time, they tried desperately to save themselves and try to save the most important supplies.
Many cities have lost water and electricity, and are facing flooding crises. Many people are trapped in dark buildings and can't move...
At this stage, even Youxi and Tang Yatong can't do anything.
The card game has come to an end, and You Zhenzhen is cooking tomato and egg noodles on the coffee table with the gas stove that Youxi brought out.
They had too much snacks in the afternoon, so they decided to eat something simple in the evening, cooking noodles and pairing them with some salted dishes such as Sichuan pepper chicken lung slices and cold seaweed.
You Zhenzhen doesn't know how to cook difficult dishes, but she can still make simple food like tomato and egg noodles, so she volunteered.
Youxi and Tang Yatong were not idle either. They spread out a map of the peninsula on the dining table and, based on the information they had obtained from the Internet, they calculated the situation of the entire Lushan Peninsula after the typhoon passed.
On the map, many time and space loop areas have been circled with black pens. These are blind spots that must not be entered.
After that, several places suitable for refugee bases were circled with red pens, and the high ground where they were located was one of them.
However, there is no team and no supplies at present. Although people's morale is low, it is far from the point of desperation. In this case, even if a base is barely established, it will soon disperse.
More importantly, they do not know the extent of the damage caused by the world disaster, so they cannot judge whether the buildings in the scenic area can hold up.
"We are unlucky this time. Just when we planned how to open up the mountain road, another typhoon came. Anyway, after this typhoon is over, let's take the assembled team down the mountain to get supplies. Here--"
Tang Yatong circled two coastal areas, "because the tsunami hit these places too quickly, a lot of supplies were left in underwater or above-water buildings during the evacuation. At present, the peninsula has no external aid and only relies on its own manpower. It is too late to rescue the people in time, and there is no spare energy to search for supplies in such a dangerous area. But we can go."
After Tang Yatong arrived in this world, he had hacked into the data files of various material storage locations on the peninsula through a computer while connected to the Internet.
So now, they know where to find intact supplies. Some places are already buried deep underwater. Even if ordinary people can dive underwater intact, they can't open the warehouse under the huge water pressure and take away all the supplies at once.
But they can solve these problems.
