Chapter 332 Arrival at Jiangcheng
Ignoring the stray animals, the RV continued to move forward.
The original plan was to drive the car directly into Jiangcheng and then stop.
Unfortunately, the road conditions simply do not allow it.
It was already daybreak, so it was not realistic to go down on the flat road.
So I could only find a place to spend the day and then go into Jiangcheng at night.
Near Jiangcheng, the surrounding houses were severely damaged.
After searching for a long time, I couldn't find a suitable place to stay.
In the end, the only option was to park next to a building that had collapsed by two-thirds.
At least this side can block one side of the direct sunlight.
Along the way, we saw quite a few stray animals nearby.
Be very careful when getting out of the car to set up the awning.
Be careful of these stray animals that may suddenly jump out and attack them.
While the sunlight was still blocked by the half-collapsed building, everyone got out of the car and set up the awning.
You need to be alert at all times, so it takes a little longer than before.
After the awning was built, everyone started to eat.
There was still no meat today, but Wu Tingfang cut a plate of salted duck eggs, and everyone could get one.
The jars for salted duck eggs have been used to hold beef sauce, so these salted duck eggs must be eaten as soon as possible.
After finishing his meal, Lu Yuan took out a map.
This is the previous map of Jiangcheng.
This map is not very useful nowadays, but other people don’t know much about Jiangcheng, so they can use this map to get a general idea.
When they arrived in Jiangcheng, the first problem they had to solve was housing.
The official temporary base was located about two kilometers away from Wanda Plaza.
The base commander said that there are several buildings nearby that have not been damaged, and after moving there, it is very likely that the base will expand outward with that area as the center.
The entire Wanda Plaza was almost destroyed, but some buildings a few kilometers behind it were fortunately preserved.
Lu Yuan has two properties in Jiangcheng that he has modified, one of which is near Wanda. It seems that there is no hope for that one.
The other one is in Jianlongting Community, which is in a different direction from Wanda.
There is little hope of being able to survive.
In fact, there is another place, which is the five-story self-built house left to Lu Yuan by his grandfather.
However, Lu Yuan felt that the possibility of the self-built house surviving the tsunami was too small, so he did not even renovate it.
The five-story self-built house belongs to the urban village, about six or seven kilometers away from Wanda.
"Since the authorities have already set up a temporary base in Jiangcheng, can we temporarily settle there after we arrive?"
The authorities are still taking action now, so Wu Tingfang feels that it is safer to follow the authorities' lead.
"Of course we can, but we arrived in Jiangcheng earlier than the first group of people who were transferred, so this is also an opportunity."
Han Ying glanced at everyone, with a gleam of light in her eyes.
Before the tsunami, a large amount of supplies were transferred from Jiangcheng by the authorities, but due to time constraints, they could not be completely transferred.
The remaining supplies that were not moved away were damaged by the tsunami and earthquake, and most of them are likely to have been damaged.
However, there should be quite a few that can be preserved, which is also an opportunity.
After hearing Han Ying's words, everyone became excited.
"Xiao Han, are you saying that we can go and look for the missed supplies before others?"
Wu Tingfang stood up directly from her seat. They had actually forgotten this before.
Because nothing could be found anywhere in Pengcheng, everyone had forgotten that all the people in Jiangcheng had been relocated at the beginning.
If there really is such an opportunity, they must not miss it.
The most important thing is that there is no plague spreading in Jiangcheng now. As long as you are careful about stray animals, you should be able to find a lot of good things.
"That's what I mean. So if we find anything, they will know it clearly if we live in the official temporary base."
"But there is a very important advantage to living there, which is that it is safer."
Lu Yuan nodded and pointed out the location of the official temporary base on the map to them.
"So we are now caught in a dilemma. Living in a temporary base, we are safer, but our actions are also under their noses."
"Not living in the government's temporary base means less security, but it gives us more freedom for the time being. Only we know how much supplies we have found."
Lei Minghu also understood what Han Ying and Lu Yuan meant, and knew what they were worried about.
"Brother Lei's analysis is correct, that's what he meant."
Han Ying smiled, and then continued: "Tell me what you each mean."
"I think supplies are important, but we don't have a shortage of them for now, and it's still uncertain how much supplies we can find. What I mean is to follow the official lead."
Lin Ting was the first to express her thoughts, mainly because this group of people still had a lot of supplies deposited with the official authorities.
As long as the base is moved here, they can get the supplies.
Wu Tingfang looked at Lei Minghu. Her husband had always been the one making the decisions on such major matters in their family.
"My idea is to prepare for a rainy day. Although we already have a lot of supplies, we are afraid that we will run out of supplies when we come to Jiangcheng."
"What if, I mean what if, what if we can't get the supplies we deposited with the government back, or don't get them quickly, what should we do?"
Lei Minghu looked at Han Ying and Lu Yuan. He always felt that the choice they proposed was a bit strange.
Judging from the current situation of this group of people, it is obviously the right thing to do to follow the official steps.
No matter how important materials are, they are certainly not as important as life.
He didn't believe that Han Ying and Lu Yuan didn't know this.
If he were to choose, he would definitely choose to live in a temporary base.
The answer is so obvious, why do they both bring it up for everyone to choose?
After more than two years of the apocalypse, Lei Minghu has discovered that his two neighbors are not simple.
It seems like every choice they make is beneficial.
So today Lei Minghu went against his own ideas and did the opposite.
"Teacher, what do you mean?"
Han Ying looked at Qin Qinghai and asked.
"I think we can wait and see when we get to Jiangcheng. If there are many people in Jiangcheng now, we can live in a temporary base. If no one comes yet, we can find some supplies and hide them first."
Qin Qinghai guessed that Han Ying and Lu Yuan meant not to live in the temporary base, but he felt that this issue should be decided after arriving in Jiangcheng and seeing the specific situation.
"That's true. We haven't arrived in Jiangcheng yet, so we don't know the specific situation there. No matter how much we discuss, we may have to overturn it by then."
Han Ying glanced at Qin Qinghai and said.
The three families expressed three ideas, so the final decision was still up to Han Ying and Lu Yuan.
This was agreed upon before departure. If there is any disagreement, the opinions of Han Ying and Lu Yuan will prevail.
"What we both mean is that we should go to the official temporary base to report and settle down."
"If you can find extra supplies, find a place to hide them. A cunning rabbit has three burrows."
The reason why Han Ying insisted on having everyone go out to find supplies was to help them survive the extreme cold.
When extreme cold comes, it will be just like extreme heat, it won’t pass so easily.
The most important thing in extreme cold is not food, but firewood.
You can have less of other things, but you must have enough firewood.
Firewood takes up space, and the residence allocated to them by the authorities must not be big. How much firewood can be stored?
"Then it's up to you."
Lin Ting was also the first to express her opinion. Although she felt that safety was more important, she also believed in Han Ying and Lu Yuan's judgment.
It seemed like a lot was said in today's meeting, but it also seemed like nothing was said.
But Han Ying and Lu Yuan achieved their goal. They just wanted to reveal a piece of information.
That is, after arriving in Jiangcheng, don't stay at home directly. Although the outside world is devastated, you can still find a lot of life-saving supplies.
Having achieved their goal, Han Ying and Lu Yuan went straight back to their room.
After entering the room, Han Ying first took the dog into the space and arranged some food for it so that it could eat thoroughly.
Han Ying went to see the piglets and sows first.
The little pig has been born for several days. It looks silly and is nestling in the sow's arms, sucking milk.
Han Ying was mainly worried that the sow would not eat well and would have no milk to feed the piglets.
I glanced at the trough and saw that everything in it had been eaten up. The sow had a good appetite.
Han Ying refilled the trough and added some water before going to check on the other livestock.
The two horses had basically recovered and were running very fast, but they had no saddles and were difficult to ride.
It's okay to slide down a little, but if you want to really run, it would be a torture without a saddle.
I'll find a saddle when I get a chance, and then I'll be able to ride the horse.
I also added some grass to the two horses and fed the other livestock.
When Gouzi came over after eating, Han Ying was picking up eggs with a basket.
Recently, a new batch of hens have grown up, and we collect dozens more eggs every day.
Put the picked poultry eggs in the basement first, and when you have time, pick out some fertilized eggs and use them to hatch chicks.
After doing all this, Han Ying ate a small box of mangosteen pulp herself, and then took the dog to take a bath.
Lu Yuan peeled the mangosteen pulp when he had free time. He put it in small boxes, and one small box was just right for him to eat each time.
The peeled shells are not thrown away, but are all dried. They can be used as deodorants, desiccants, fertilizers, and even have medicinal value.
After taking a shower and leaving the space, it was Lu Yuan's turn to go in.
There are two ripe mango trees in the space. Lu Yuan’s task after entering today is to pick mangoes.
After Lu Yuan came out of the space, the two went to bed.
After waking up, they heard He Xiu's voice outside.
The sound seems to be much better than before.
"Xiao Han, Xiao Lu, I feel much better today and I don't have a fever anymore."
The two came out of the room, and He Xiu walked towards them wearing a mask.
"Let me see."
When they were sleeping, they indeed did not hear He Xiu coughing.
He Xiu sat down at the booth, with a smile on her face, and stretched out her hand.
Lu Yuan took her pulse and found that she was indeed much better.
Lu Yuan asked He Xiu to take off her mask and looked at her throat again.
"It should be healed in two days. I'll give you another acupuncture treatment later and that will be enough."
Lu Yuan learned acupuncture from his grandfather, and it is quite effective for this kind of cold.
Of course, the most important thing is that He Xiu has a good foundation.
Moreover, they have enough time to rest and do not go hungry, so their immunity is not damaged, so they recover faster.
"It's mainly because of your great acupuncture skills. I really didn't expect that you, Xiao Lu, are so good at medicine. In Jiangcheng in the future, apart from other things, with this medical skill, are you still worried about not being able to earn supplies?"
He Xiu quickly put the mask back on and joked.
Of course, He Xiu knew that Lu Yuan and his team didn’t need to rely on their medical skills to earn supplies.
Just based on their planting techniques, they can live a much more comfortable life than others.
In this way, these two people are simply all-powerful!
At 11 o'clock in the evening, the RV started on time and headed towards Jiangcheng.
Han Ying and his team are almost reaching Jiangcheng, and the Pengcheng base is also getting ready.
There were thousands of people evacuated the first time, and armored vehicles still led the way.
Everyone carried a personal bag, and all other items that needed to be carried were placed on several trucks specially designed for loading luggage.
The truck that Han Ying and Lu Yuan had used to transport bricks was also among them.
"Do you think they have arrived in Jiangcheng?"
The team was still reorganizing, and Gu Yuanping stood next to the armored vehicle to see the base commander off.
"It's early, it's been almost half a month."
The plague has been getting more and more serious recently, but given the current conditions, it is impossible to bring everyone in the base over at once.
The possibility of walking into Jiangcheng is too small, and if we really walk, at least one-third of the people will die by the time they reach Jiangcheng.
So we can only clear the way again and again until the road is clear.
"I hope nothing happens to them on the way."
Gu Yuanping sighed.
Ke Qin did not respond to Gu Yuanping's question because he knew it was absolutely impossible for nothing to happen on the road.
At half past twelve in the evening, the walkie-talkie finally connected with the soldiers stationed in Jiangcheng.
"You mean there are only two of you left? Did something happen?"
When Han Ying heard the words coming from the intercom, an expression of shock appeared on her face.
She remembered that the base commander said that there were 6 people left in Jiangcheng. Does that mean that the other 4 people had died?
"We were attacked by stray animals and we fought them off, but they got injured and died from infection."
If you are injured by stray animals and there is a lack of medical care and medicine, there is a 99% chance that you will die.
When they arrived here, they didn't find so many stray animals.
But who would have thought that on the third day after the base commander and his companions returned, hundreds of stray animals surrounded them.
They almost ran out of bullets before they were able to repel the enemy, but they also lost four of their companions.
"We have entered Jiangcheng. Can you arrange a place for us to stay?"
The fact that four soldiers sacrificed their lives cannot be changed, and they still have to settle down first before anything else.
