Chapter 267 Warning
As time slowly entered October, the weather outside became even hotter. The earth was baked by the scorching sun and was as hot as a teppanyaki grill, almost smoking.
The city, which was originally covered by floods, gradually appeared in the public's field of vision in the evaporating water vapor.
Unfortunately, what I returned to was not the still prosperous city, but a large area of dilapidated buildings full of devastation.
After being soaked in floods for a long time and experiencing alternating extreme cold and extreme heat, and finally being baptized by a large number of microorganisms, many shoddy projects in the city collapsed on the spot.
Most of the buildings have become dangerous and have cracks wider than arms.
The most fatal thing is the silt left everywhere on the earth after the flood evaporates.
Among them were various industrial products that were submerged in the flood, such as cars and tricycles.
There are dead remains of plants and animals, such as carcasses, rats, etc.
What’s more, after the extreme cold, people’s activities on the ice produce all kinds of garbage and excrement.
These things settled down as the ice thawed and the water level dropped, eventually covering the city's buildings, roads, and bridge decks with a thickness of several meters.
Basements, underground passages, subways, and various urban underground buildings and structures have all become like sewers, filled with all kinds of smelly, black, and rotten objects.
With so much siltation, it would probably take many years to clear it manually in this end times when modern technology and industry have all stagnated.
This is of course not necessary, and no one has the energy to do it. After all, it is not easy to be alive.
Therefore, the number of people joining the base has increased exponentially in recent times.
The base construction center began to recruit a large number of temporary workers to participate in the construction of the third ring of the base, in order to put it into use as soon as possible and accommodate more ordinary people.
Yu Duoduo's underground studio recently exchanged the first batch of refurbished bedding from the mall, a total of 20,000 pieces, according to the previously agreed 16 points per piece, a total of 320,000 points.
However, Yu Duoduo did not save these points on her personal points card. She and Xie Yun’s points cards already had over a million points stored in them.
She asked the people at the government service center and learned that she could apply for a new family card in the name of the studio to store points.
The family card is the main card and can be linked to no more than 10 secondary cards, and the points on the cards can be shared.
So the seed cards of Tong Zi, Wei Dong, Min Nan and Le Yan were put into the family card by Yu Duoduo.
These people are her companions who have been with her all the way, and are second only to Xie Yun in Yu Duoduo's heart.
She gathered everyone together that night at Tong Zi's home and explained her ideas.
Her goal was clear. After the transaction was completed, the four of them would be upgraded to first-level black card residents using their family cards and move into the First Ring Road residence.
He also mentioned that the First Ring Road residential area was equipped with an underground safe house.
This matter is considered a secret of the base, because there are only first-level residential facilities. These safe houses were built at great cost. Their purpose is to resist unknown extreme natural disasters in the future and preserve the human race.
Yu Duoduo specifically told Tong Zi and others that this matter should not be made public.
Tong Zi and the other three were moved to tears by Duoduo. After all, compared to the ordinary people suffering outside, they were already lucky enough.
In addition to this incident, there is another big thing that is bothering Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun recently, because super bacteria is coming.
In Duoduo's memory, this thing appeared suddenly after the extreme heat arrived and the temperature rose to a certain level, along with a thick fog, and quickly swept everywhere.
It’s fine if you’re not infected, but once you’re infected, there’s no cure.
After Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun discussed it, they decided to report the matter to the base and take preventive measures.
Such predictions cannot be reported anonymously. No one will take them seriously and take preventive actions if they are unfounded speculations.
But if they report their true identities, they will be brought into endless suspicion and trouble after the plague is over.
The two of them lay in the hanging basket of the bamboo house and rocked all night before they came up with an idea...
Starting from the afternoon of the next day, a rumor spread into the base from the crowd queuing outside the base.
Soon, word of mouth spread, and almost everyone, from the elderly to children, knew about it, and it finally reached the ears of the leaders of the base.
The rumor was very specific. It said that the extreme heat caused the Antarctic continental glaciers to melt, releasing a large number of super bacteria that were hiding in the white fog. Inhaling the poisonous fog would surely lead to death!
The base leaders wanted to thoroughly investigate the source of the rumors, but the identities of people outside the base were so complex and numerous that they had no way to investigate and had to give up.
But this incident was enough to attract official attention. The command center quickly issued a notice within the base, asking all parties to take relevant protective measures to prevent the disaster in the rumors from really happening!
When Yu Duoduo heard the official warning from the base, she knew that the message had been reported successfully!
Tong Zi and the others reacted strongly to this incident and asked Xie Yun if he had any medical countermeasures to fight this super bacteria.
We all had survived cholera and the Black Death, and we had an extreme fear of these horrible plagues.
Xie Yun only said one simple sentence: unknown bacteria can only be prevented.
So after asking Xie Yun for some preventive knowledge, Wei Dong began to work overtime overnight to make air purifiers, preparing to install new exhaust systems in the basement and everyone's homes!
After Yu Duoduo learned about it, he specifically asked Wei Dong not to worry about renovating the bed frame, but to make the evolution machine first. After all, compared with life, a few points are nothing!
And tell him that if he needs materials, he can go directly to the mall to buy them, and he can use the points in the family card.
Within two days, the ventilation system in the basement was installed, and the air indoors became much fresher!
Yu Duoduo took out several portable air-conditioning fans that he had stockpiled in the mall before the apocalypse and placed them on all sides of the work area.
He also took out the ice maker that he bought for free, plugged it in to make ice, and invited everyone to drink ice drinks to cool down.
Everyone sighed ~ Boss Yu is so generous!
I thought these were electrical appliances that Yu Duoduo bought from private channels at a high price out of his own pocket, because these refrigeration appliances were not sold in the official mall and were snapped up by rich people as soon as the extreme heat started.
After the hardware facilities are protected, the only thing left is personal protection. When I lived in an apartment building before, there were still a lot of masks collected and distributed to individuals. They were enough for a long time.
As for Guan Qing, she has never left the basement. She is like a working machine, taking care of all her eating and drinking needs in the basement.
Because she contributed double the labor to the renovation work, Yu Duoduo increased her remuneration from 6 points to 20 points, allowing her to work with greater peace of mind and motivation.
Yu Duoduo took out a box of alcohol-containing hand sanitizer from the space, as well as water purification tablets and disinfectant tablets found in the medicine warehouse in the Lin family's basement, and placed them in the basement as backup.
If one of them is infected, the others will also be easily infected. It is not so easy to remain immune to the plague.
Fortunately, Duoduo now has a black card, so no matter what supplies she brings back, no one else will suspect her. After all, the treatment of first-level residents is special.
