Chapter 305 Is the sandstorm completely over?
After dinner, Shi Jiaojiao gathered all the supplies into a pile and placed them between the two mattresses.
If there is any accident, she can put it away in the first time.
Although there are still a lot of such materials in the space, they must not be wasted, especially when resources are so tight now.
Wang Jia and Tang Wei were not idle either, and helped to pack up the supplies.
When Wang Jia picked up the cactus and aloe plants, he looked left and right, then raised his head and asked, "Do you think the growth rate of these two plants has slowed down?"
Shi Jiaojiao leaned over to take a closer look, nodded and said, "It's indeed slow."
You should know that the growth rate of these two plants during the polar day is so outrageous that obvious changes can be seen every other day.
Mu Ci: "But it's still much faster than the growth rate before the end of the world."
Before the end of the world, you might not see any changes on the aloe vera and cactus even on a monthly basis, let alone on a daily basis.
Tang Wei was puzzled: "Is it because the red sun disappeared?"
"That may be one of the reasons, but we've been staying in the basement the whole time and haven't been exposed to the sun at all, so that may have some impact." Shi Jiaojiao moved the last package of supplies between the two mattresses and said, clapping her hands.
Wang Jia nodded: "Indeed, plants need enough light to grow. It's really difficult for them to grow in the dark here."
After she finished speaking, she placed the two pots of plants where the flashlight could reach.
No matter whether it works or not, just give it a try.
After sorting out the supplies, Shi Jiaojiao was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes and kept yawning.
Wang Jia couldn't bear to watch it anymore and advised, "Jiaojiao, Tang Wei and I are watching over you now, you and Mu Ci should catch up on some sleep first."
Shi Jiaojiao thought about it and decided to agree. She was really too sleepy. Due to her tiredness, her body's reactions were much slower. She had to hurry and catch up with her energy.
Mu Ci glanced at his watch and looked at Tang Wei: "It's nine o'clock now. Jiaojiao and I will sleep until twelve o'clock and then we'll take your turn."
Tang Wei nodded and said, "Don't worry, Jia Jia and I will keep an eye on it."
There is no movement outside now, but for safety reasons, it is better to ensure that there are always two people awake so that when danger occurs, everyone can respond immediately.
At twelve o'clock noon, the tablet alarm rang.
Shi Jiaojiao rubbed her brows and sat up, her head feeling dizzy.
After getting up, she did not ask Wang Jia and the others about what happened in the morning. She and Mu Ci have always been light sleepers. If there was any movement, they would notice it at the first time.
Wang Jia saw the two of them wake up and was the first to speak: "If you two are tired, you can sleep a little longer. Everything will be normal in the morning."
Shi Jiaojiao shook her head. "That's enough. It's your turn to catch up on some sleep with Tang Wei this afternoon."
Wang Jia wanted to refuse. Before, Shi Jiaojiao and the other person often took care of herself and Tang Wei. She couldn't help with anything else, but she could help keep an eye on what was going on outside.
Tang Wei didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he had the same idea.
The two went to bed early last night and were a little sleepy, but not as ugly as Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci.
Mu Ci said, "It's settled. Jiaojiao and I will stay with you this afternoon, and you two can catch up."
Dragging a tired body to face disaster is simply seeking death.
For lunch, the four of them ate the dumplings that Shi Jiaojiao brought, which were also fried in oil.
If it were before the end of the world, eating a few meals of fried food would definitely make you feel sick and lose your appetite, but now everyone’s body is lacking in oil and water, so even if you eat a lot, you will still feel greedy.
Of course, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci were not included, but neither of them were picky eaters and would eat anything as long as they could fill their stomachs.
A bag of fried dumplings was definitely not enough for four people, not to mention Xiao Hei, so Wang Jia simply took out the instant noodles that she had been reluctant to eat.
Instant noodles taste good, but not only are they a luxury now, they also consume a lot of water, so she and Tang Wei had been reluctant to eat them before. Now they just cook them all in one go.
Shi Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows: "Why are they all cooked?"
Wang Jia waited for the water to boil before adding the seasonings. After they were completely melted, she threw the noodles in. The unique aroma of the instant noodles instantly filled the entire basement.
She said as she watched over the pot, "The sandstorm is so dangerous. Who knows if we can survive it? We might as well just eat it all. Even if we die, we won't have any regrets."
When Shi Jiaojiao heard this explanation, she agreed with it deeply, and then silently took out two cans of luncheon meat from the space.
Tang Wei was pleasantly surprised, "You haven't finished the canned food yet?"
Shi Jiaojiao nodded: "There are still some left."
Mu Ci opened the can, cut it into small pieces with a knife and fried it in oil. It was so tempting.
The four people and the tiger all enjoyed the lunch very much.
After dinner, Tang Wei and Wang Jia took a nap, while Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci quietly watched what was happening outside.
Of course, I also took this opportunity to put Xiao Hei into the space and give him some special treatment.
Time passed slowly. Shi Jiaojiao originally thought that the calmness in the morning was just an exception. After all, the frequency of sandstorms yesterday was quite high.
But until four o'clock, when Wang Jia and Tang Wei woke up, it was still calm outside.
If the crack on the ceiling hadn't been there, she would have almost thought that everything that happened last night was an illusion.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the four of them finished their dinner and still did not see anything unusual.
Wang Jia asked tentatively: "Is the sandstorm completely over?"
Shi Jiaojiao frowned. She also wanted the disaster to end soon, but would the sandstorm in the apocalypse let humans go so easily?
She doesn't believe it anyway.
Mu Ci said, “Why don’t we go up and take a look at the situation?”
This proposal was passed unanimously. After the four of them put on their masks and dust goggles, they prepared to go upstairs. Xiao Hei also followed Shi Jiaojiao happily and refused to leave.
After climbing up the stairs, the iron door at the entrance was still standing strong.
Shi Jiaojiao first lay on the door and listened carefully to the sounds outside.
Apart from the whistling sound of the wind, no other sound was heard.
Everyone looked at each other, carefully opened a crack in the door, and after carefully confirming that there was no danger outside, they opened the door completely.
However, what caught everyone's eyes were piles of wall fragments that tightly blocked the doorway, with only a small amount of wind and sand sneaking in through the gaps.
At this moment, the four of them had heavy looks on their faces. Although they had a premonition that the second floor might have collapsed, seeing this scene with their own eyes still made it hard for them to accept it.
Tang Wei tried to reach out and push it, but found that the debris was blocked extremely tightly and it didn't move at all when he pushed it.
Through the narrow gaps between the fragments, everyone could vaguely see that the color of the sky was still abnormal, and even the originally silver-white edge of the moon seemed to be infiltrated by a strange red light.
Since the sky hasn't returned to normal yet, there's no way the sandstorm will end.
However, the wind and sand outside are really small now. Although there are debris blocking the door, the strength of the wind and sand rushing in from the gaps can be felt to pose no threat to people.
After everyone learned about the situation outside, they immediately closed the door and returned to the basement without any intention of going out.
After all, no one can tell whether they will encounter any accidents after going out. At this time, especially when they have not yet figured out the rules of sandstorms, a little accident is enough to take lives, and no one can guarantee that they will not be unlucky.
Especially Tang Wei, this super unlucky guy with the bad luck buff.
