Chapter 286: Fully Armed and Leaving the Base
Han Ying and her family did not plan to go out, but the two families in 1207 and 1208 had to go out to get water every day.
Since you have to go out to get water every day, you can go to the canteen to get food while getting water.
Lin Ting's son and Lei Yuhang are both under 10 years old and can eat for free in the cafeteria.
But we don’t know when the plague will break out, so it’s best to stay at home if possible when it breaks out.
But the three of them had to go out again.
So now they are caught in a dilemma.
Only then did he want to ask Han Ying and Lu Yuan for their opinions.
"How much water do you have now?"
Han Ying knew that the most critical issue now was water.
If there is no shortage of water at home, as long as they collect enough firewood, they can stay at home because they have no shortage of food.
"We're not that short of water, actually. I still have nearly a ton of water from my previous storage, and Lei Ge and his team have about the same amount. In addition, there's also a lot of mineral water in the supplies we got from Villa 609. If we use it sparingly, we'll definitely have enough for two or three months."
Given the general environment, and knowing that water will be even more scarce in the future, no one wants to give up the free water.
"Since you are not short of water, my suggestion is to stock up on some firewood. And you should stock up enough for the next few days. If you can avoid going out in the next few days, try not to go out."
Han Ying and Lu Yuan had originally planned not to go out.
However, if they wanted to stock up on firewood, they had sneaked out of the base several times before and knew where there were trees that had not been chopped down, so they didn't have to go further out in the suburbs.
"Lei Minghu said the same thing. Okay, let's discuss it. While there are still a few hours before dawn, let's go out and get some back."
In fact, Lei Minghu and his team had not made much use of the firewood they had moved from Yuefu Jiangnan.
And when we were looking through supplies yesterday, we also found a lot of firewood from the ruins.
This was enough for a while, but they also knew that the situation outside would only get worse.
By the time they run out of firewood, the plague will probably be at its worst.
So you still have to stock up some now.
"Okay, we'll go out with you guys later. It must be very chaotic outside right now. If there are too many people, people who want to make a move will be hesitant."
Han Ying and her friends have an electric saw, which allows them to cut wood faster.
After hanging up the intercom, Qin Qinghai went to find Lei Minghu and asked Wu Tingfang and the others to get ready, and then he went downstairs to find Lin Ting.
He Xiu brought a small trailer and a bundle of ropes.
There was also a black canvas bag on the small trailer, which contained a crossbow, crossbow arrows, and two knives.
Qin Qinghai was carrying a bulging shoulder bag with a nail gun and ropes inside.
Lin Ting didn't have a trailer, so she also brought a bundle of ropes.
But in addition to the rope, she also brought an axe, and no one asked her how she got it.
Lin Yang didn't want to stay at home, so he wanted to go out too. He had a dagger on his waist, and he looked quite serious.
Seeing Lin Yang was about to go out, Lei Yuhang didn't want to fall behind, so he also changed into the protective suit modified by his mother and walked out.
After they were equipped, they came to Han Ying's home.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan were already waiting in the yard.
They still each carried a backpack and had two trailers beside them.
Everyone saw a Tang sword inserted diagonally between Lu Yuan's backpack and his back.
Han Ying directly held the crossbow in her hand.
Everyone knows that the outside world is not peaceful and is fully equipped.
Everyone, including Gou Zi, went out, leaving only Lei Minghu, who had an injured leg.
It has been several days since the earthquake, and there is a faint smell of rotting corpses inside the base, not to mention outside the base.
"These are mint-flavored refreshing burst beads. Those that were not used up during the poison fog period have expired. If you don't mind, put two of them inside the mask. It will make you feel better."
Han Ying took out a small box of refreshing bursting beads and gave two to each person.
"Don't despise me, don't despise me, this is a good thing."
Qin Qinghai took the two explosive beads, took off his mask and pressed them directly into them. After putting it on again, he felt the air was fresher.
Eight people and a dog, fully equipped, walked out of the base in a mighty procession.
The entire city was in ruins after the tsunami, but most of the buildings are still intact.
But now all the buildings outside have turned into ruins.
The supplies in these buildings close to the base had long been looted, so there was nothing to pick up in the ruins.
There was not even any furniture, only a pile of steel bars, cement and bricks.
The situation outside was better than they had imagined, because the bodies of the victims near the base had basically been cleared away.
As they walked along, they really didn't find any dead bodies.
Han Ying told Lu Yuan that when they left the base before, they found several trees that had not been cut down yet, and they could go over there.
This time they went to a place not far from the lake where they had sneaked out of the base before.
In fact, it is right behind the base, but because it is close to the suburbs, it has been ignored by many people.
The distance was not close, and even though everyone walked very fast, it still took more than an hour to get there.
This place was originally deep in a park, but because there were only trees nearby and not much scenery, few people came here.
And now because it is behind the base, fewer people will come around here to cut down trees.
Seeing that the entire area of dead trees was still there, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
In fact, although Lu Yuan led the way, everyone was still worried that it would be a wasted trip.
Now that I see that the entire forest has no signs of being cut down by anyone, how can I not be happy?
Obviously, few people came here before, so naturally there were no corpses.
Everyone was afraid that the protective clothing would be scratched when they were busy, so they took it off.
But the mask was not taken off.
They had to get back before daybreak, so they didn't have much time to cut down the trees.
Lu Yuan took out the electric saw and cut down every tree he could see.
Lin Ting was quite strong and swung the axe hard.
Han Ying took a folding saw and cut off the thinner branches.
He Xiu and Wu Tingfang were responsible for tying up the wood.
The two children were standing by, helping Qin Qinghai to carry the wood they had sawed and chopped, as well as the branches that Han Ying had sawed off, to He Xiu and her mother-in-law to tie up.
Tangyuan was standing guard nearby to prevent anyone from coming to attack them.
The buzzing sound of Lu Yuan sawing wood and the bang bang sound of Lin Ting chopping trees echoed in the dark night.
As time went by, more and more wood piled up on the ground.
The amount of wood exceeded everyone's expectations. The problem now was that although they had a lot of people, they only had three trailers, one of which was very small.
Most of them can only be tied up with ropes and dragged back, but how much can be dragged back with human power?
