◎Happy 115th Day: Double Happiness◎
Everyone was very busy in the next few days.
The various traps in their autonomous region have been basically arranged, but a small part still needs to be deleted and fine-tuned.
The price situation in the Nanshan Trading Zone changes every day. They have to take turns going to the Nanshan Trading Zone every day, and sell them first when there is an opportunity to sell at a high price. The supplies they get back from the trade are mainly fresh water and food.
After all, they still have to live in the western suburbs for a while, and this kind of drinking water obtained through transactions is always more cost-effective than buying it from the official transfer station.
Everyone is equal in this regard at the transit station. How the profits will be divided later is a matter for the future. When consuming, not to mention Jiang Muyun, even Captain Yu and Meng San have to pay the price, and no account will be kept.
Everyone also took the time to clean up a single room for themselves to avoid living together and making daily life inconvenient.
During this period, whenever Jiang Muyun went to the Nanshan Trading Area, he would always find an opportunity to take a walk to the back mountain.
Sometimes he would go with Old Man Li, and the two of them would even try to improve the existing traps. Jiang Muyun would also go alone, with a notebook in his hand to write and draw.
When Jiang Muyun went to Nanshan, he would rather go down the mountain from another path and then go back to the trading area to find other companions, rather than go back the same way.
It is common for sentry guards to see people coming but not leaving.
As she went in and out of the mountain more often, the sentries and guards on the South Mountain became familiar with Jiang Muyun. They could recognize her figure from afar and were not so nervous.
At this time Jiang Muyun knew that the opportunity had come.
In the past few days, Jiang Muyun has a clear understanding of the situation on Nanshan Mountain.
Captain Yu and Meng San did not specifically send anyone to watch the armory door.
They both came from the military and knew that it would be difficult to break open this kind of door by force before the end of the world, let alone now.
Instead of pushing hard against the door, it’s better to find a way to chisel the mountain faster.
No one could open the door anyway, so sending someone to watch it would be pointless and would only expose the location of the armory. If they were discovered before the contents of the Nanshan armory fell into their hands, they would be in big trouble.
What surprised Jiang Muyun the most was that after the plants on the mountain grew back, there was no high point around the location of the armory gate that could be observed through a telescope.
Jiang Muyun didn't know whether this place was a disaster shelter selected by the authorities before the end of the world, so he deliberately chose a location that was not easily monitored. But in any case, this provided great convenience for Jiang Muyun's actions.
At least she didn't have to count the guard changes at the higher points.
Half by coincidence and half on purpose, Jiang Muyun chose a time when she and Chu Buwen went to the trading area together to take action.
The two stayed in the trading area until three in the morning today, bargained with people for several hours, and sold the plastic figurine that Jiang Muyun found in the children's park for the price of 10L of drinkable fresh water.
Jiang Muyun didn't expect that the plastic figurine could be sold so early, so he didn't bring any samples of the plastic figurine with him when he went out. After seeing someone wanting to buy it, he only showed them the photo.
At this moment, the price was basically agreed upon by both sides. In view of the high price, Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen agreed to take people back privately to inspect the goods first, and then return to the trading area to complete the formal transaction through the official window.
Private transactions are strictly prohibited at the transit station. Every piece of cargo entering the transit station is inspected and registered by station officials. Upon exiting the transit station, the remaining cargo is also checked against the transaction records. Even daily necessities like water are limited to a certain amount based on the number of caravan members and the length of their stay.
If the quantities do not match, they will be treated as tax evasion.
If people were trading small amounts of water, they could still be lazy and save the trouble of running back and forth. But the plastic figurines can't be eaten, drunk, or used, so even if they wanted to be lazy, they couldn't steal them.
For buyers, this back and forth process is really annoying.
But for Jiang Muyun, she now had a legitimate reason to come home late, and secondly, she was acting with Chu Buwen, and someone was covering for her. It was simply the perfect time to do something small.
After the few of them returned to Nanshan with the items to complete the transaction, Jiang Muyun told Chu Buwen that she wanted to go back to the warehouse to find some clothes to wear next to her body. She would later tell everyone that she had exchanged them for plastic figurines, and asked Chu Buwen to go back and cover for her.
Chu Buwen nodded, and when he returned with the water, he answered other people's questions in detail according to what Jiang Muyun had said, and said that Jiang Muyun had not returned yet, but had gone to get clothes.
Chu Buwen didn't even blink: "Our plastic figurines are in good condition and in full quantity. He was too greedy, so we temporarily raised the price. He said the underwear was brand new, but the outer packaging had been opened. Jiang Muyun was worried, so he asked to inspect the goods. He asked me to return the water first and not show it off outside."
Jiang Muyun and his group actually lived a good life after the apocalypse. At least they had never had to live without clothes to wear or enough food to eat.
They have the capital to pay attention to hygiene, the capital to value privacy, and the capital to feel "embarrassed".
So when Chu Buwen said that Jiang Muyun was going to check her underwear and didn't let Chu Buwen go with her, no one thought anything of it.
Anyway, all the caravan members in the transit station had unloaded their guns, so as a member of the privileged class who could enter with a gun, Jiang Muyun had no problem protecting his own safety.
In the worst case scenario, there is always enough time to fire a warning shot.
Chu Buwen thought for a moment and added, "If she's running out of time, she'll probably have to stay outside today and come back in the evening. You don't have to worry."
No one asked why they couldn't wait until evening to pick up the goods since there was no time now.
You can't expect the merchant caravan to still talk to them about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness at this moment.
Chu Buwen's words came at the perfect time.
Because Jiang Muyun really couldn't get home before dawn today.
Chu Buwen thought Jiang Muyun would hide in her warehouse for a whole day, but in fact, Jiang Muyun was going to have a life-and-death race in broad daylight.
She took advantage of darkness to enter the bushes. Even though the entire Nanshan Mountain was brightly lit at the time and the guards spotted her, they were already used to it and would remind her that it was getting late.
There are many blind spots in the dense forest. For Jiang Muyun, who is familiar with the various mechanisms and traps in the woods, finding a place to hide is easy.
Jiang Muyun waited until the sky turned pale and everyone, including the guards on the South Mountain, had to return indoors to avoid the light before he began to act.
The guards on the South Mountain had to avoid sunlight, and Jiang Muyun also couldn't stand the daytime temperature, so she had very little time to act.
She had to put the things back to the armory during the short period when the guards on the mountain sentry retreated and the daylight was not yet lethal.
There are many areas with lush vegetation on Nanshan Mountain, and these areas have many blind spots.
Captain Yu and others had thought about cleaning them up, but these mutated plants were extremely tenacious, and even the scorching sand and dust could not do anything to them. Manual cleaning was so slow and ineffective that they could only set up extremely dense traps in these places to fill the gaps in vision.
Also, because of the high density of traps here, almost no one can pass through these areas without making any noise, so the guards will relax their surveillance here a lot.
Jiang Muyun chose to go to places like this, and caught up with the time when the guards retreated, so he did not alarm anyone along the way.
With the experience of entering the armory last time, Jiang Muyun was extremely skilled in opening and closing the armory door this time.
She directly circled the soft land above the gate of the military arsenal, then stood above the gate and took the entire gate under her feet and the land above it into the space.
The moment your feet touch the ground, put the things you have stored in the space back in their original state.
Aside from a few handfuls of falling dirt, the area looked exactly the same as before. Every rivet on the warehouse door was firmly fixed back into the mountain wall.
Jiang Muyun's time is now counted in seconds.
The supplies she was going to put back into the armory had been counted in advance and placed in a corner of the space.
At this moment, Jiang Muyun held the lamp and went into the warehouse to put the things down directly. Then, without even looking at them, he put on the life blanket and returned to the ground using the old method.
The sun is out and the temperature outside is climbing at an alarming rate.
Jiang Muyun went in and out for only a few minutes, and the sunlight was already so strong that she had to wear sunglasses to see directly into the areas not blocked by the shade of the trees.
Jiang Muyun hesitated for two seconds between taking the risk of going back and finding a place to stay until dark, and decided to compromise.
She wanted to make her way through the dense forest while the temperature was still tolerable, using the shade of the trees to make her way.
If she could find a suitable place to stay along the way, she could take shelter there. She had ice in her space anyway, so if she could find a place that wasn't too drafty and stay there for a day, she should be able to hold out.
If you can't find it, then you should take some risks and go home as soon as possible by using something that can block out the sun and insulate heat, such as a thermal blanket.
Whether it's heat stroke or solar dermatitis, the mortality rate is no joke, otherwise there wouldn't be the term "sun poisoning," and the transit station would not safely withdraw all guards at sunrise.
Because unless they are in a desperate situation, no one would risk their life by going out during the day.
The West Suburb Transfer Station is a trading area, not a department store. Anyone who can enter must be wealthy, so it is even more unlikely that they would do something suicidal.
Jiang Muyun dared to travel outside wearing a thermal blanket at this moment because he relied on the fact that there would be no one outdoors in the transit station at this time.
Even if a rich person with plenty of free time was wearing sunglasses, turning on the air conditioner and looking at the scenery with the door open, and happened to see Jiang Muyun, he would definitely not be able to recognize who the warrior wrapped in the thermal blanket was.
Jiang Muyun really didn't have the courage to cross the open road, so she could only go through the mountains and forests. She kept holding ice cubes in her mouth. Relying on the thermal insulation blanket wrapped around her body, she also secretly hung ice cubes on her waist and back to cool down. From time to time, she had to drink a sip of Huoxiang Zhengqi water to prolong her life.
Waves of heat hit him, and Jiang Muyun even found it difficult to breathe.
Most of the sunlight was blocked by the lush branches and leaves of the trees, but there were always a few beams of light that could penetrate the dense branches and leaves and stand mercilessly in the forest.
Jiang Muyun had no way to avoid it and could only bury his head and bump into it.
Wrapping himself in something inevitably hindered Jiang Muyun's movements, and he would lose his balance if he wasn't careful.
But even so, Jiang Muyun did not dare to take off her equipment. She could only be more cautious in her actions, even if the price was that she had to slow down.
She walked slower so that she could hold on a little longer thanks to the ice.
If she accidentally fell on a rock, who knows, some part of her flesh might turn into stone pot barbecue.
The memory of falling on the concrete floor in her previous life and having a layer of skin sticking to it in seconds was too vivid. Jiang Muyun never wanted to experience the feeling of being stuck to the pan again in her life.
He watched helplessly as his skin was torn off his body alive.
Jiang Muyun was so frightened at that moment that all she could think about was getting up quickly if she didn't want to die. If she had any sense left at that time, she wouldn't have been so decisive in getting up from the ground.
If it were now...
Jiang Muyun thought about the scene carefully. She probably would pull herself up from the ground with tears in her eyes, then go home and cry for three days while holding the peeling skin.
After Jiang Muyun finally escaped over the mountains and hills and returned to his own hilltop, and then his whole body was red from the heat, and he lay directly on the ice and gasped for breath, Jiang Muyun couldn't help but reflect on himself in his heart.
To some extent, this can be regarded as a decline in survivability.
Xiaobai had been waiting for Jiang Muyun at home since dawn. If she hadn't come back in time, Xiaobai might have rushed out by now.
After Jiang Muyun came back, Xiaobai, who had been worried all morning, stayed by her side like a mourner until Jiang Muyun recovered. Only then did Xiaobai come over and push Jiang Muyun to stop her from sleeping on the ice.
Jiang Muyun rolled over and landed on the ground, hugging Xiaobai and rubbing her madly: "Bai, sister has really sacrificed a lot so that we don't have to pack up and flee in the future."
Xiaobai was extremely afraid of heat, and no one wanted to be exposed to it during the summer. But since Jiang Muyun seemed to have suffered a lot today, Xiaobai endured it and let Jiang Muyun rub her to his heart's content.
Jiang Muyun was comforted by Xiaobai's silent tenderness. He calmed himself down and left the floating house to eat something to calm himself down.
The insulation effect of the temporary residence is definitely not as good as that of his own home. The temperature in the cave is too high for the air conditioner to operate. Jiang Muyun simply put ice cubes in the floating house to cool it down and cooled half a frozen watermelon by the way.
As soon as Jiang Muyun took a bite of the icy watermelon, all his worries were instantly forgotten.
She was afraid that she would look miserable if a layer of skin was stuck to her, but she was really happy when she could cry loudly without worrying about dehydration when she was injured.
This joy lasted until that evening when Jiang Muyun was waving a shovel to dig the reservoir.
The defense system has been set up, and we don’t need six people to go to Nanshan for transactions every time. The excavation of the reservoir should also begin.
Before the rainy season arrives, every shovel of water you dig into the reservoir will increase your capital to survive the next dry season.
Even though Jiang Muyun was not short of water, he was still quite active in digging a reservoir.
How could someone who has experienced the end of the world complain about having too many supplies?
For Jiang Muyun, others can only save one part of the family fortune, but she can save one part in the space and one part outside the space. This is clearly double happiness!
