Chapter 334 The House Didn’t Collapse
The two of them walked along two small paths, crossed piles of ruins, and finally arrived in front of a building.
“It didn’t collapse. I didn’t expect that.”
Knowing that there would be a tsunami, Lu Yuan did not pin his hopes on this building.
It was really a miscalculation.
Otherwise, this building would have been reinforced before the end of the world, so we wouldn’t have to worry about housing problems now.
Most of the wall was destroyed, the yard was filled with all kinds of garbage, and there was even an abandoned motorcycle lying in the corner.
Several fish bones can be seen under the wheels of the motorcycle.
"There is a well in the yard, I wonder if there is still water."
Lu Yuan kicked the motorcycle over, revealing a round stainless steel cover similar to a manhole cover.
The manhole cover was locked with a lock, but the entire lock was rusted.
Lu Yuan took out a box from the basement and found a matching key from a pile of keys.
Unfortunately, the keyhole had long been rusted and the key could not be inserted at all.
He opened the backpack, took out a pair of pliers from it, and cut the lock open directly.
Open the manhole cover and shine the flashlight inside.
There is no water.
This well is not very deep, only about fifty meters.
It is usually locked, and when in use, just turn on the pump to pump up the water.
"If we dig deeper, we might find some water."
Han Ying shone the light inside again and seemed to see that the bottom was a little wet.
However, if you want to dig a well, especially such a deep one, it is impossible without professional tools.
We can only wait until the official people are transferred here.
But before that, you can let the well 'have water' for a few days.
After replacing the manhole cover, the two looked around the yard again.
Because of the earthquake, the door of this building cannot be opened with a key.
"The windows on the first floor are all equipped with anti-theft nets, and you can climb in from the balcony on the second floor."
Lu Yuan has no plans to break the lock violently for the time being.
Then the two of them took out the ladder and climbed upstairs.
The window glass on the second-floor balcony has been broken, so you can just step in.
Before the end of the world, most of the things in this house were put into the basement by Lu Yuan.
The others had been soaked in sea water several times and many of them were broken.
But it can still be used.
The sky was already turning pale and the sun was about to come out.
The two of them just took a rough look at each floor and made sure that the walls were intact and had not been damaged by the tsunami or earthquake before they felt relieved.
Arriving on the 4th floor, Han Ying took out several thick vacuum-compressed quilts, blew some dust on them, and placed them in a closet.
Lu Yuan took Han Ying to the innermost part of the first floor, a warehouse where tools were previously stored.
Then Han Ying put a few old trailers in and covered them with thick dust.
They also took out more than a hundred large plastic flower pots and placed them in the corner of the room.
In this way, if they want to plant cacti in the future, they don’t have to look for flower pots everywhere.
After doing all this, I went to the second floor and climbed down the ladder again.
This ladder was also placed directly under the intact wall behind the yard.
Wet the ladder with water and sprinkle some soil on it.
The two of them then returned the same way they came.
The sun had already risen. When Han Ying and Lu Yuan returned to the RV, the people inside immediately opened the door for them.
"How's it going? Is everything okay?"
Seeing the two of them, Lei Minghu asked first.
Lu Yuan had told them before that he had a house in this village.
This time I went out to see if the house was still there.
"The house is fine, and there's good news!"
Lu Yuan glanced at Han Ying before answering Lei Minghu's question.
"What good news?"
Hearing the good news, everyone gathered around.
"There's still water in the well in my yard!"
Lu Yuan did not keep anyone in suspense. This was the decision he made after discussing it with Han Ying.
Let’s let the well produce water for a few days first. As for where the water comes from, it must be from Han Ying’s space talisman.
"Are you serious?"
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, He Xiu stood up from her seat.
The most important thing now is not food, because they have no shortage of food for the time being.
What they lack is water.
Although there was still some water in the RV, each of them also brought several large boxes of mineral water.
But no matter how much we save the water, it won't last long.
When we arrive in Jiangcheng, we may be able to find some other things in the ruins, but water is very difficult to find.
"Of course it's true. We'll find a few water towers nearby tomorrow night and go there to fill up some water. But I don't think there's much water in the well, so I'm not sure how much we can fill."
Han Ying smiled and said that she would find an excuse to go there early tomorrow night and put water into the well.
"That's great. We were just talking about this. We didn't know how long it would take for the base to get there, and how long our water would last."
Wu Tingfang was indeed discussing this issue with Lin Ting just now, and the two of them also counted how much water the three families brought over.
After counting, the three families brought a total of 35 boxes of mineral water.
As for how much Han Ying and Lu Yuan brought, they really didn't know, and it was not easy to ask.
"By the way, you two wait a moment. We're having hand-rolled noodles today. I'll make them for you."
As He Xiu said that, she walked towards the kitchen with a laugh.
During the days she was sick, she didn't dare go to the kitchen for fear of infecting them, so Afang cooked all the meals.
Now that her cold has recovered, the kitchen is still her battlefield.
While waiting for the noodles to come out of the pot, Lu Yuan took out a pen and paper and drew a rough map of Hongmei Village.
Then, based on the road conditions they just saw, they analyzed which road would be smoother tomorrow night.
Although Lu Yuan’s grandfather’s house did not collapse, it would still be necessary to go to the military base.
Hongmei Village can be used as a temporary storage point for their supplies, and they will then find a way to rebuild the wall.
In this case, if someone wants to take advantage of it, it won’t be that easy.
He Xiu quickly prepared the noodles, gave some to Tangyuan, and then gave it some dog food and canned dog food to fill its stomach first, and then let it into the space to eat good food later.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan each ate a large bowl of hand-rolled noodles before returning to their rooms to rest.
After returning to the room, Lu Yuan continued to study his map, while Han Ying took the dog into the space.
As she was not full just now, Han Ying put two large bowls of food for the dog first, and then she took out a 4-inch strawberry cake to eat.
After eating the cake, I went to see the piglets and the sow as usual.
These little piglets really change every day. They were only this big when they were born.
It hasn't been long now, but it has already grown several sizes.
