Chapter 337 Installing Anti-theft Doors
Looking up from floor to floor, I found another intact door with a key.
They also found a lot of other things, which they piled up in the corridor and would take downstairs together later.
They used the intercom to tell the other two about the situation here, and also learned that the doors of the two floors that Lei Minghu was responsible for were all broken.
Qin Qinghai also found a bunch of keys and an intact door.
This way there are three doors.
In addition to the door, everyone also found a lot of things.
These are all what you can use temporarily. As for the others, you can continue looking for them when you have time.
I went downstairs and took out all three sets of keys.
It's basically all rusted, so I can only polish it first and then remove the door.
The polishing task was left to Lei Minghu.
After dividing what they had found, they went back home.
After everything was almost packed, I went downstairs and started moving things up.
There's no way to clean it up very well, so I can only make do with it and rest for a day.
Install the curtains first, otherwise no one can stand the sunlight shining in.
Move all your stuff back.
There was no time to install solar energy, so Han Ying brought up a backup power pack from the RV.
Lin Ting also had a battery that was previously removed from an electric car and then modified by Lei Minghu.
The battery in the RV was also fully charged and there was no problem in driving the two small fans.
Lei Minghu's family also has a similar battery, which was removed from Han Ying's electric car that was trapped in the rubble.
Everyone had small fans and air conditioners, so they could barely get through the day.
The room that Han Ying and her family chose was not adjacent to the walls of other houses.
So after entering the room, Lu Yuan locked the door and blocked the gap with a cloth.
Then Han Ying took out a swimming pool and put two large ice cubes into it.
They took out the industrial air-conditioning fan and waited until the temperature in the room dropped before the two people and the dog went to sleep.
When I woke up, the sun had already set.
They first put away the things that shouldn't be in the room, and then the two people and the dog went into the space to wash up.
When I came out again, the temperature in the room had returned to normal.
Open the door, walk out of the room and into the corridor outside.
When I came out, I saw Wu Tingfang cleaning the corridor outside.
Because of limited time yesterday, everyone just cleaned up casually and stayed there temporarily.
The two greeted Wu Tingfang, only to find out that Lei Minghu, Qin Qinghai and Lin Ting had already gone up to dismantle the door.
Worried that they might not have enough electricity, Han Ying brought her battery box along as well.
When I got to the 8th floor, I heard voices coming from upstairs.
It looks like they are removing the door on the 9th floor.
The door had been almost dismantled. After sharpening the key, I rubbed the keyhole with wire and dripped a few drops of engine oil, and still managed to open the lock with difficulty.
It may be difficult to drive the first time, but it will become smoother and smoother the more times you drive it.
After the door was dismantled, Lin Ting and Qin Qinghai carried it down together first.
After a whole day of consumption, their battery power was indeed running low.
After replacing the battery box brought by Han Ying, they started to dismantle the door on the 11th floor.
I had originally planned to go out to find a water tower tonight, and then fetch water from the well at Lu Yuan’s grandfather’s house, but I didn’t know if I would make it in time.
But it is better to install the door first, so that you can feel more at ease when you go out.
After the three doors were carried down, Lei Minghu and Lu Yuan stayed behind to install the doors.
The others went downstairs, took the two sets of batteries down to the RV to charge them, and cooked a meal at the same time.
The two soldiers had also gotten up long ago. They were patrolling around to see if there were any stray animals that didn't know how to live or die.
We will have to continue to register and search for dry wells in the surrounding areas, which is a lot of work.
After the meal was ready, one portion was served to each of the people installing the doors upstairs, while the others ate directly in the RV.
After the door was installed, the keys were distributed to everyone.
I looked at the time and it was just past two o'clock.
There are still nearly two hours until dawn.
The few of them didn't want to waste time, so they planned to look around to see if they could find some water towers.
It is not easy to find a water tower in the city, so we have to go to the nearest Hongmei Village.
It’s actually only a few kilometers away from Hongmei Village.
It took everyone a whole night to get there before, but after the road was cleared, it only took a few minutes to get there.
The RV was not driving fast, mainly to look for places where there might be water towers as we went.
Many self-built houses in rural areas are equipped with water towers. Lu Yuan’s grandfather’s house has one, and it is not small. It can hold 3 tons of water.
When they arrived at Hongmei Village, they found a place to park and got out of the car holding flashlights.
The troops were divided into two groups, Han Ying, Lu Yuan and Gou Zi were in one group as usual, and the others were in another group.
Lei Minghu, who has difficulty walking, stayed behind in the RV with his two children.
The time limit is one hour, and even if we can't find the water tower, we must meet up with the RV.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan came to the store that was not damaged. Lu Yuan said he remembered there was a water tower on the upper floor of this store.
I just don't know if it was washed away by the tsunami.
The door of the convenience store was closed, and the two men planned to climb in through the window.
However, the windows on the first floor were equipped with anti-theft nets, so the two of them took a running start and used the force of the air-conditioning rack to reach the second floor.
The water tower is still there, but it is firmly fixed to the roof with screws.
It took some time to dismantle it and then lower it with a rope.
Then the two of them began to search in the store.
This kind of convenience store was definitely not included in the list of national transferred materials when it was transferred.
And when their own families moved, they certainly couldn't take all their belongings with them.
So if it wasn't washed away by the tsunami, there should still be something inside.
Sure enough, the two saw some supplies in cartons that had been soaked beyond recognition in a warehouse-like room on the first floor.
There is an anti-theft net on the first floor, so these things did not flow away with the water.
But most of them were soaked.
The only things that should have survived being soaked include some packaged instant noodles, cup noodles, self-heating pots, some well-packaged snacks, and a dozen boxes of mineral water.
Soldiers Ye Wei and Zhao Lei had been surrounded by stray animals before, so they did not dare to go far when searching for supplies.
I missed out on more than a dozen boxes of mineral water from this convenience store.
If they had discovered this convenience store at the beginning, this period would not have been so difficult.
There were quite a lot of stuff, and the two of them didn't plan to keep it all by themselves, so they would ask them to come and move it together later.
I contacted Qin Qinghai and the others using the walkie-talkie, telling them that I had found a water tower and a lot of supplies.
Ask them to come and move together later.
Qin Qinghai told the two that they also found a water tower, but it was somewhat deformed.
They checked it and there shouldn't be any leaks, so it should be fine to use.
