Chapter 298 No more water
Gu Yuanping was silent for a moment after hearing Han Ying's words. Although he was a little surprised, he was not surprised.
They had reported a gangster once before they entered the base.
The military also rewarded them with some supplies, but they directly gave the supplies to the soldiers who participated in the bandit suppression.
Gu Yuanping was not surprised that the supplies rewarded to them were now given to the people in the medical center.
"I know they work hard, and the base will give them subsidies, but this is a reward for you, so you should accept it yourself."
Gu Yuanping is not a leader who would mistreat his subordinates. He will give what is due, but because of limited supplies, the quantity will not be much.
"That's fine too. After you deliver them to my house, I'll use a trailer to transport them to medical centers and send them out one by one."
Han Ying didn't push the issue with him.
"I admire you. I want to thank you on behalf of the medical staff. I'll have someone send it to them later."
There are more than 40 medical staff at the base, and each of them can get about 10 bottles out of 20 boxes of canned food.
After hanging up the intercom, Han Ying patted Tangyuan who was squatting beside her and listening to her talk.
Before the two of them entered the space to work, Han Ying first took out two ozone disinfection machines.
Disinfect the room and the living room, where they often go.
I don't know if it's useful, but it does give me some psychological comfort.
When Han Ying and the others entered the space, it was already dawn, but the sun had just risen.
The base's furnace has been idle for the past two days.
The bodies dug out from the ruins had been rotten beyond recognition after being exposed to high temperatures for several days.
But there was no other way, the soldiers could only wear protective clothing and gas masks.
These highly decomposed corpses were transported and stacked to a place far away from the base and then burned together.
No one cares who the burned bodies belong to.
What were their names when they were alive?
Are there any family members still alive?
After burning it, it's all over.
The ashes of thousands of people were mixed together and could not be distinguished from each other.
The base mobilized everyone to re-register or apply for a new access card in order to count how many people were left in the base after the earthquake.
But it cannot be ruled out that some people have stayed at home and have not registered or re-applied for the new registration.
However, there are only a few such people, after all, access cards are required to collect water now.
...
Many days have passed since the day when someone broke into Lei Minghu's house.
Han Ying and her family stayed indoors and didn't even go to Lei Minghu's house.
Every day I stay at home with the door closed, busy with my own things.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan actually don't have much free time every day.
They stay in the space for six or seven hours every day.
There is something to do every day on those 250 acres of land.
These days, the two of them were digging bamboo shoots in the space.
Lu Yuan had planted a lot of bamboos in the space before, and now bamboo shoots have begun to grow.
There are quite a lot of bamboo shoots, and you can dig a large basket every few days.
Han Ying picked some out and made bamboo shoots and meat buns and glutinous rice and bamboo shoots buns.
Lu Yuan prefers bamboo shoot and meat buns made with flour, while Han Ying prefers glutinous rice and bamboo shoot buns.
The two of them ate the bamboo shoot buns for two days in a row and didn't feel tired of them.
In addition to bamboo shoots buns, Han Ying also made a lot of sour bamboo shoots.
Sour bamboo shoots are really great when used to stir-fry meat or stew fish soup.
As for dried bamboo shoots, I haven’t considered them for now.
Although the sun is strong outside, the air quality is poor, so it’s better not to sunbathe.
Unless you use a dryer.
But since we both have plenty of dried bamboo shoots to eat, we don’t need to make them for now.
Han Ying and her friends stayed at home every day and lived their own lives, but the base was filled with gloom and sorrow.
A plague broke out, and an entire building at the medical center was vacated to isolate those infected with the plague.
There are many types of plague, including plague, cholera, malaria, measles, etc.
Currently, several common ones have already appeared in the base.
All the sick people were isolated together, but the medicines were limited and the possibility of cure was very low.
They are isolated just to prevent them from infecting other people.
With the experience gained during the poisonous fog period, everyone knows that once infected, there is no hope of survival.
However, what is different between the plague and the poison fog period is that the plague is extremely contagious.
As long as there is one person in the family, if they are not isolated in time, there is a high possibility that the whole family will be infected.
Therefore, soldiers would form teams to patrol every household every day and take away any infected people immediately.
Unless these people do not care about the lives of their families, they will take the initiative to follow the patrolmen.
But when they left, their faces were full of despair, and when they turned around and looked at their families, their eyes were full of reluctance.
But no matter how reluctant I am, I can't stay and infect my family.
When they conduct door-to-door inspections, the soldiers will distribute a few disinfectant tablets to each household and ask them to dilute them with water and wipe their entire homes.
But water is so precious nowadays. It is not enough for eating and drinking every day. How can we be willing to use it to mix disinfectant tablets?
The people at the base also knew what everyone was thinking, but there was nothing they could do.
Only two of the wells that were previously dug can still produce water, and the amount of water is getting less and less every day.
We have been looking for a new place to dig a well these days, but after digging more than 200 meters in several places, no water comes out.
Previously, each person could get 3 liters of water per day, but now it is only 1 liter per day.
As a rule, it is collected once every three days, 3 liters each time.
On the farm, the crops rescued from the earthquake also died due to lack of water.
Looking at the withered crops, Professor Li seemed to have aged ten years overnight.
But there is not enough water for people to eat and drink, so where is the extra water to irrigate crops?
Professor Li also lives in the military area now. He came to Lei Minghu's house twice to move supplies back.
His face turned red when he moved and he felt embarrassed.
Although these were allocated to him by Lu Yuan and Han Ying, he did not do them any favors yet received so many supplies, and he always felt a little guilty about it.
But no matter how sorry he felt, he had to move because all his family’s belongings were buried in the rubble during the earthquake.
That day, the sound of bells was heard from the other side of the wall again.
After checking the time, Han Ying and Lu Yuan knew that the soldiers who were patrolling had arrived.
The two put on masks and stopped more than one meter away from the door.
"Are you two okay?"
Many soldiers knew the two people in Villa 1108, so they seemed more familiar when talking to them.
This man is Tong Xiaojie from the Second Company. He is Chen Feihu's soldier and is responsible for patrolling and registering work in this area.
"We are fine. Are there many people infected today?"
Han Ying and Lu Yuan would ask this question every day when they came to patrol.
