Of course she wasn't here to attack, she was just on guard.
She took out her cell phone and called the police.
If what these two men said was anything to go by, no one would answer the call.
...No signal.
The situation is worse than Qiao Xuejun expected.
The phone call couldn't be made at all.
Is the base station under attack, the optical cable broken, the network failing, or... electromagnetic interference caused by military activities causing no signal?
Qiao Xuejun didn’t know.
The two men outside were planning to come in at night, and judging from their intentions, they had dirty ideas. It was still 10 o'clock in the morning, and at night...if the signal was not restored before the sun went down, she would definitely take the initiative.
The carpenter had been following her and asked in a low voice, "Can't you call the police?"
The plane howled anxiously: "Woof woof! Woof woof!"
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "There is no signal, don't be afraid for now. They plan to come in at night. We will retreat to the shelter first. If there is still no signal at night, we will make other plans."
Qiao Xuejun did not tell the carpenter that she was going to strike first, for fear of scaring her. After all, not everyone can accept such an extreme approach.
The carpenter nodded and looked at the two people outside the fence through another observation hole in the bamboo wall, but he was still worried: "Why don't I stay here and guard it."
Qiao Xuejun knew that the carpenter was worried and afraid that the two men would suddenly break in.
Qiao Xuejun suddenly understood why the survivors of the siege of Sarajevo said that the survival rate of a person living alone is zero.
Because that's the reality. Even if she and the carpenter were two people, they would still be stretched. With few people and no powerful people to keep the situation under control, they would be the first to bear the brunt of the disaster.
The two men outside chose them as their targets because there were few of them and they were all girls.
If they really only had this small house instead of a shelter hidden underground, and those people insisted on forcing their way in, what could the two of them do? Fight to the death? As long as there was a fight, there was a possibility of injury. In this doomsday with scarce supplies, injury and death were inseparable.
The carpenter: "If I see them coming in, I will inform you."
Qiao Xuejun: "No, don't worry."
She has a system monitoring system, so she can monitor the whereabouts of these two people even if she is not standing here.
Qiao Xuejun took the little carpenter down from the shelter.
This time, Qiao Xuejun and the carpenter worked even faster. They had been collecting solid round wooden sticks during this period of time. After the carpenter processed these round wooden sticks, they became neat and tightly fitted together, able to completely seal all the doors and windows of the house.
During this time, all the windows on the first and second floors have been sealed, leaving only the doors on the first floor.
The door on the first floor was originally a simple thin wooden door. Qiao Xuejun once doubted whether she could kick the door in half.
But now there is only one piece of wood left, so that I can install a thick wooden board made of round logs, making the door three times thicker than the original one, and adding an extra layer of sealing inside and outside.
This looks pretty safe.
Qiao Xuejun looked at the closed door, still feeling anxious. There were only two people outside now. Given the situation, it wouldn't be surprising if four or five people showed up. This door could hold two people, but could it hold four or five people?
"System, explain. Didn't you say that the first year was just a high temperature, and even the mutated marine life would not come ashore until a year later?"
The system immediately replied, "Yes, host, the first year was just a high temperature. The large-scale war also took place a year later, when humans began to fight against mutant creatures. But local unrest has existed since the high temperature began. There were originally some restless rebels wandering around in this world. They were originally inconspicuous. Many people said that they were just wandering thieves who might have wandered here."
Qiao Xuejun: "What suggestions do you have now?"
The system looked at Qiao Xuejun's expression and carefully gave its advice: "I suggest that the host scare them, just like he scared Kuang Qianli that day."
Qiao Xuejun sneered: "They are not Kuang Qianli."
You can't scare him. You can tell at first glance that he is a desperado. Unless he really fights hard, you can't scare him.
Qiao Xuejun asked again: "Why didn't you suggest that I shoot them?"
System: "I would not make such a suggestion. Host, I am an artificial intelligence. My underlying operating logic is already written. Everything should be people-oriented. I have ethical standards and technical supervision. I cannot make such a suggestion."
Qiao Xuejun felt inexplicably emotional. These days, perhaps a system can be more humane than a human being.
The system reminds: "Perhaps you can seek help from the outside world. Our shelter can accommodate 10 people."
Qiao Xuejun suddenly changed the subject and said, "I checked and it takes at most four or five days for the potatoes to be harvested."
At most, it’s less than two months, just seven or eight days.
If you want to eat the potatoes seriously, you have to wait until the tubers expand and the surface of the tubers become corky. But she doesn't want to put them on the market, so you just need to dig them out and hand them in when the tubers stop gaining weight.
However, Qiao Xuejun inexplicably felt a headache.
There are more than 10,000 kilograms of potatoes that can be collected. If we hand them all over to the system, how can we explain to the carpenter that all 10,000 kilograms of potatoes are missing?
Forget it, let’s not worry about those things for now.
System: "Host, do you have any functions you want to redeem?"
Qiao Xuejun wanted to exchange too many things, the most important of which was the defense function, but the defense function required 100,000 kilograms of food. Now there was only 10,000 kilograms, which was not enough.
