◎Happy 132nd Day: The atmosphere is here◎
When Jiang Muyun faced Zhou Fei's revenge, she thought for less than three seconds, and then she calmly directed everyone to turn off the engine and find a suitable place to spend the night in the school.
Jiang Muyun: "Hehe, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I'm not curious anyway."
Gao Liang's eyes rolled, and he instantly understood what Jiang Muyun meant. He agreed, "Hehe, I'm not curious either. If you have the guts, just keep quiet. Let's see who can't sleep tonight. I'll suffocate you to death."
Zhou Fei: "You are so cruel."
It is impossible to hold it in. If he could have held it in, he would not have brought up the topic in the first place.
Unfortunately, he wanted to say it now, but he didn't have the chance to say it for the time being.
Because Jiang Muyun found a tall building, the rooftop windowsill was nearly two meters above the water surface, and the windows were large enough. If the windows were missing, they could easily drag several kayaks into the room through the windows.
It's perfect for their campsite tonight.
Jiang Muyun asked Zhou Fei, and Zhou Fei said it was the school's comprehensive building.
Tang An patted Zhou Fei's shoulder sympathetically. "Don't worry, let's get settled first, and then we'll listen to you slowly."
Zhou Fei felt that this development was not right. Normally, shouldn't they be the ones rushing to ask him? Why did he become the one rushing to speak?
Jiang Muyun: "Then let's spend the night on the rooftop of the complex. It's higher up there and won't flood overnight. Let's row the boat over there."
After hearing what Jiang Muyun said, Zhou Fei could only temporarily suppress the feeling that something was wrong.
The comprehensive building was directly north of them, so everyone had to row northwest against the current that was pushing them eastward to ensure that the boat was heading towards the comprehensive building.
There was no danger at the moment and the water was not very fast, which was just right for them to practice coordination and paddling together following the slogans shouted by Captain Yu.
Everyone except Professor Chen took the oars and paddled towards the complex building with difficulty.
Unless you are actually on the water, you will not be able to understand the helpless feeling of having strength but nowhere to use it.
It wasn't that Jiang Muyun was trying to save fuel; the school buildings were densely packed, and their boat was too heavy to turn. Furthermore, there were some submerged low buildings under the water. If the oars hit one of those structures and caused something to break down, it would be a huge problem.
Manual is the safest.
It was just a distance of less than a hundred meters, but everyone was sweating profusely before they finally parked the kayak under the window of the complex building.
Everyone put on hats and goggles and folded up all the folding awnings.
Chu Buwen called Gao Liang to help him. The two tall men turned on their headlights, climbed onto the windowsill easily, and climbed into the room.
Chu Buwen looked around, tied the parachute rope he was carrying around the wall between the two windows, and threw the other end out of the window.
Jiang Muyun used parachute ropes to stabilize the boat to prevent them from being swept away by the current if they were not careful.
As Jiang Muyun was securing the boat, he heard Chu Buwen say from upstairs, "This should be a place like a music classroom. There's a wrecked piano in the corner, along with some scattered debris. On the other side is the interior of the building. I don't know the exact situation, but there's no draft inside. The terrazzo floor is in good condition, suitable for placing a boat. There are no obvious cracks, and the building itself is in good condition as well."
"I understand. You two can see if you can build a platform to put the boat on, so that we don't have to disassemble and assemble the outboard motor." Jiang Muyun said, and jumped lightly onto the raft where supplies were piled at the back, and took out a few bundles of parachute ropes from his bag.
After Chu Buwen finished speaking, he took off the folding engineer shovel hanging behind his waist and unfolded it. In a few strokes, he scraped away the remaining plastic window frames. If he couldn't scrape them clean, he would find a way to flatten all the sharp parts.
The high-volume people who came in with Chu Buwen were stunned. In just a few seconds, Chu Buwen was able to read so much information. It seemed as if he knew from the beginning what aspects they should pay attention to after coming in.
Jiang Muyun outside didn't seem surprised at all. He was directing Xiaolan to run around underwater with the parachute rope in his mouth, and use the parachute rope to make a simple rope net, which would make it convenient to catch the entire kayak and pull it up later.
Seeing Gao Liang standing there still dazed, Chu Buwen said helplessly, "See if you have anything handy to clean up the room a bit, especially paying attention to things like broken glass. Then look for smooth wooden boards, tables, chairs, or benches to put the boat on."
Gao Liang was just inexperienced and didn't react for a while, but after being reminded by Chu Buwen, he immediately found his position - just do his job obediently and everything will be fine.
They had to leave in a hurry, and Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen were unable to give them systematic training on how to deal with various situations encountered on the road, so they could only watch and learn slowly.
When he reached the second half of his previous life, Jiang Muyun rarely became dissatisfied after choosing a place to stay. After walking around the area, he found that there was no better place and had to return to his original place.
In a situation like today, Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen had no experience of spending the night outside with a boat, but they knew what the conditions of the most suitable place to spend the night would be in this environment, and what to pay attention to after entering the house.
This kind of sensitivity is honed by being beaten by life again and again.
It might not seem like a very technical skill, it's just about being more comprehensive. But once you try it a few times, you'll realize that taking every little detail into account is a real challenge.
Others may not feel this way, but for Captain Yu, who has been the person in charge of the base for several years, he knows too well the value of the four words "comprehensive".
I originally thought I had found two helpers with extraordinary fighting skills, but I didn't expect them to be just brains.
Captain Yu felt that he needed to change his own positioning.
If he were to be honest, whether it was calculating the undercurrent on the road to avoid the high-risk areas in advance, or just figuring out the ground conditions and the building conditions, Captain Yu felt that he could not take them into consideration and make an accurate judgment in such a short time.
No matter whether Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen were members of a mysterious organization before the end of the world, or just ordinary high-IQ otaku high school students, the fact is that they are currently more reliable than him, so it is obvious who to listen to on the road.
He was the one who built the team, so he was also responsible for everyone's safety. Whether he had a say or not was nothing when it came to safety.
With Captain Yu's active cooperation, it became much easier for Jiang Muyun to command his men. At least he no longer had to spend time explaining the reasons to others before doing anything, and his efficiency was much higher.
Soon, Chu Buwen upstairs cleaned the window, and several mutant animals jumped up one after another.
The first supply ship was caught by a simple rope net that Jiang Muyun had temporarily made, and the other end of the rope was tied to the huge Samoyed Bald.
Jiang Muyun shouted, "It's done." The ropes connecting the supply ship and several other ships were immediately untied by several people. The bald man began to exert force, and the supply ship was lifted up little by little.
There was a rope net between the hull and the wall, and there was almost no friction throughout the whole process. After reaching the window, Chu Buwen and Gao Liang came to support them, and Xiaoguai and Xiaobai were underneath to provide support. The raft was loaded with more than 100 kilograms of supplies, and there was not a single scratch on the hull from the time it was lifted to the ground.
As soon as the ship landed, Chu Buwen and Gao Liang did not rush to move the second ship, but first unloaded all the supplies on the ship.
We are not in the water now, and this weight pressing on the hull will definitely cause damage to the kayak.
After the supplies here were unloaded, several people followed the same method to bring up the remaining two ships.
In the end, Tang An and others went upstairs, leaving only Captain Yu, Jiang Muyun and Professor Chen downstairs.
Captain Yu and Jiang Muyun worked together to lift Professor Chen up, then they climbed up the stairs themselves and pulled up the last kayak.
Then Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen quickly dismantled the simple rope net on the manned boat, took out a bag of long iron nails from their travel bags, and hammered them into the left and right sides of the window.
Then the two of them cooperated in a method that no one could understand. They pulled the umbrella rope and twisted it around in a fancy way, and then used a piece of film to clamp the middle of the rope, and the several large windows that were originally open were completely blocked.
As Jiang Muyun turned off the headlamp, the magnesium rod in Chu Buwen's hand sparked and a pile of sawdust was ignited.
It is said that carrying a rope is really useful for surviving in the apocalypse. It was worth it that they took away a bunch of military parachute ropes from the Nanshan warehouse.
With just this one set of equipment, they can light lamps and fires inside with peace of mind without having to worry about becoming the brightest star in the night sky.
It wasn't until the group started drinking the mushroom soup that Zhou Fei suddenly realized, "Something's wrong! The window is blocked. How are we going to get out?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Muyun looked up. "Why don't we just remove the ropes when we leave? Don't worry, we'll be careful and we can even take out the nails and reuse them."
Zhou Fei was in pain and entangled: "No, I didn't mean when we leave. I meant... we may have to go out again later."
Jiang Muyun suddenly realized: "Ah, you mean the night activity you mentioned before, right?"
Zhou Fei admitted that Gao Liang was right, and he was the first one who couldn't hold it in anymore.
Zhou Fei said dejectedly, "Oh, yes. It's that nighttime activity. I know there's a batch of supplies hidden here, all compressed dry rations and other emergency food. Do you want to go look for them?"
Captain Yu: "Wait a minute, you said compressed rations?"
Zhou Fei said weakly, "Yes, yes. Isn't our school fully boarding? We have emergency evacuation drills every year. The playground, the teachers' garage, and even the basement under the dormitory building are all evacuation points. They keep these emergency compressed dry food and water in the evacuation points."
"I'm talking about about thirty or forty bags of it. They say it's some kind of foreign military rations with a shelf life of twenty years."
Zhou Fei was puzzled. This should have been a very exciting and surprising thing. He should have unveiled their mysteries bit by bit under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Why are you saying it so calmly now?
Having said all that, Zhou Fei simply finished his words: "As far as I know, these emergency food supplies are replaced every ten years. I happened to be at school when they were updating their emergency food supplies. The students were all in class at the time, and I only encountered this because I had taken leave that day. So, apart from the faculty and staff responsible for this matter, basically no one knew about it."
Captain Yu was bewildered. "Are you sure it's compressed rations? How can you be so calm?"
Captain Yu was not surprised that those things were still edible.
Compressed dry food is different from the compressed biscuits sold in supermarkets. Most of the time, they are equated with field rations.
Due to different eating habits, it is true that military rations in some countries can be preserved for decades or even nearly a hundred years. This is no longer news.
In fact, the actual shelf life of most MREs is shockingly long.
Some of the MREs left over from World War II still show no signs of spoilage when opened, and many people actually dare to eat them without any accidents, not to mention the ones prepared by schools that are replaced every ten years.
The compressed dry food Zhou Fei mentioned is definitely edible now.
Captain Yu was surprised that Zhou Fei could say it so calmly that there were so many compressed dry rations here.
What is the value of this thing now?
Let’s put it this way, if Captain Yu had to replace all their rations on the road with this compressed dry food after changing four ships, Captain Yu would not be able to afford the price.
Even though he had been the base commander for so long and had personally received a considerable share of the transit station's profits over the past year, he still could not afford it.
This is certainly because the company commander does not like to exploit others and receives a monthly salary as the head of the base, but it also shows how high the price of this compressed dry food with an extremely long shelf life is.
Because its shelf life is long enough, there should still be a lot of compressed dry food left in the world.
It is precisely because its shelf life is long enough, long enough that it can be kept as a life-saving trump card for most people for a lifetime, so its price will be infinitely raised and there will be no demand for it.
He knew there were compressed dry food here, but he didn't move them back and just left them there?
Isn’t he afraid that someone will get there first?
Jiang Muyun had obviously considered this as well: "You also said it was basic, which means there are still people who know about it. As long as these insiders are still near Nanshi, they will not let go of this batch of supplies."
There is no need to wait until order collapses. During the previous extreme cold and drought that caused food shortages, someone who knew the situation should have become interested in the school's supplies.
The unit price of this thing is not cheap. Jiang Muyun didn't buy it at all. Chu Buwen had a box with twenty-four packs.
This time they also brought out a few packets, all prepared for Professor Chen, so that she could fill her stomach at noon on the boat.
They had to hurry on their journey, so they could only spend lunch on the boat and only have two meals a day, breakfast and dinner.
They didn't care, but they were afraid that Professor Chen couldn't bear it.
But they had to eat this sparingly, after all, no one knew how long they would be on the road.
If we could get a batch of compressed dry food, the problem would be solved instantly.
If the water wasn't so muddy and the current wasn't so fast, Jiang Muyun would support everyone to go into the water and see if the things were still there.
"It's too risky to go into the water now. If this batch of supplies is just a possibility, I don't recommend anyone to take the risk." Jiang Muyun said calmly.
Zhou Fei spread his hands and said, "I can't be sure, I can only say that there is a high probability."
"Because I was the one who sold the information about this batch of supplies, and I was the one who watched people come and move them. And before the information was sold, I secretly hid some of it myself."
Zhou Fei smiled and said, "Then I took the supplies I got from selling the information and hid in the South One Base to raise Tutu. As for this small part I hid, it was a way out for myself."
After his bald boy ate the powder for the second time, his appetite increased dramatically, and his salary in the base team was not enough for the two of them to eat.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is now incorruptible.
At least this time when he went out, he couldn't even prepare enough rations for himself and Tutu, so he could only borrow from Captain Yu.
But even though he was so poor, Zhou Fei never thought of getting two bags of compressed dry food to sell.
Zhou Fei knew very well that if people knew that he had compressed dry rations, he would be pointed at guns and interrogated about the source of the supplies eight times a day.
Anyway, this thing is expensive and not very edible, and since they are here, he might as well take it out as a favor.
If he can't finish the food on the way, he will ask Jiang Muyun and others to help him exchange it for supplies.
It would be better if you finish eating.
Since this is such a big favor, Captain Yu will definitely help him and Tutu more after returning.
Now you have a long-term meal ticket.
No one knows about Zhou Fei's plans.
Captain Yu and others were deeply moved by Zhou Fei's selflessness.
Even Professor Chen, who takes health preservation as his mission, couldn't help but say, "I'm actually in good health. It's okay to skip a couple of meals on the road. Two meals a day is healthy."
Gao Liang wanted to squeeze out two tears on the spot to show his sincerity: "It's not like we don't have enough food now. We took the food away this time. What if later...what will you do?"
Zhou Fei was silent for a moment before saying, "Can you please not be so explicit? I said this was a way out for myself, but I didn't say it was the only way out."
The tears that Gao Liang had squeezed out with great difficulty were instantly taken back by him.
Gao Liang: "Can't you just brag a little bit and cooperate?"
The atmosphere is already set up, but you are telling the truth outside of the box. Is this appropriate?
