Chapter 273 Earthquake
Fate is truly marvelous, bringing all of them together at the base. Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun live on the second floor, Tong Zi and Min Nan and four others live on the third floor, and Wang Ge and his group of eight people live on the fourth floor.
Watching the brothers brought by Brother Wang moving the supplies from the car upstairs one by one, I couldn't help but feel emotional. Some people are destined to achieve great things, no matter how many times they are reborn.
The weather was too hot, so after moving, everyone took a break, except Le Yan who had to go to work.
In order to resist the extremely hot weather, Wei Dong and Yu Duoduo discussed and decided to open up a 50-square-meter reception room on the third floor and convert it into a shallow swimming pool that just covers the calves.
It is specially used as an entertainment space for everyone~play mahjong and cool down to escape the summer heat!
Of course, before entering the swimming pool mahjong room, your feet must be strictly disinfected.
Yu Duoduo even secretly added some spiritual spring water into the pool to offset the problem of dampness.
There are also extreme mysophobes like Xie Yun, who wear clean, brand-new long plastic overshoes to play cards in the pool...
Brother Wang treated them to a dinner that night, but Tong Zi and the others did not go. However, as they spent every day as neighbors, they gradually felt the kindness of Brother Wang.
Although he looks big and strong, he is very meticulous and thoughtful in dealing with people and doing things.
Since the special mahjong room was built, more than a dozen of them gather here almost every day.
Brother Wang never comes empty-handed every time. He always brings enough dry food for the day, and sometimes he even brings some extra to share with everyone.
Over time, everyone got used to the scar on Brother Wang's face.
As for Le Yan, the only one who had to work hard, after the Spring Festival next year, with a small team replenished with fresh blood, he finally developed the first batch of heat-resistant and drought-resistant crops.
There are nearly ten varieties, from staple foods to vegetables to fruits. When the command center saw the finished products, they publicly praised and rewarded Leyan's team at the base.
As an important contributor to this research, Le Yan's position was promoted several levels, almost approaching the position of deputy to the head of the research department.
After all, this is one of the greatest achievements of mankind in fighting against the apocalyptic disaster since the end of the world.
Over a year after the end of the world, the country’s grain reserves have gradually been depleted. Being able to grow grain crops again means hope for survival!
At the beginning of the construction of the base, the authorities intended to leave a large planting area in the southern part of the base, which can finally be used now.
The base soon publicly issued a recruitment order for planting workers. All those who passed the review and participated in planting crops at the base were classified as official staff.
Their salary is paid on a government basis, with 10 points per month.
According to what Le Yan said, he saw Guan Qing's name on the approved list, so she now has a more long-term and solid support.
After three or four months of farming, production and life at the base gradually got back on track.
Starting from the end of March this year, the third floors of the East and West shopping malls began to supply limited quantities of vegetables and fruits.
By May, full and normal supply of vegetables and fruits was achieved.
Many people have seen that the large piece of land to the south of the base is now covered with green. This is a beautiful color that has disappeared from the world for a year, and it is also the color of hope.
But when everyone was immersed in the stable life for more than half a year, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun had already begun to prepare for the upcoming continuous earthquakes.
Of course, the authorities should be reminded to prepare for earthquakes, but since the base's population capacity has reached its peak, it will no longer accept new refugees in large numbers.
Instead, they closed the doors and implemented semi-closed management to reduce the risk of invasion by outside gangs.
The rumor trick doesn't work anymore. Everyone in the base is a registered citizen. Once the authorities decide to investigate carefully, the rumor will not be so easy to hide.
So Yu Duoduo simply did the same thing as he did last time to deal with the super virus. He put the warning letter in an anonymous red envelope and took advantage of the early morning when there were few people around. He shot an arrow with a crossbow and fixed the arrow with the envelope firmly on the gate of the medical center.
No one knows when this letter appeared here, just like the last medical supplies ghost incident.
But the appearance of the red envelope soon attracted the attention of the medical center and was reported to the base command center.
The top brass at the base were all impressed by the red envelope. It was because of that warning letter that the super virus was able to be suppressed so quickly six months ago. So this time...
There was only one line of words on the letter: There will be continuous strong earthquakes in June, please evacuate.
The base quickly released the contents of the letter in an official capacity.
Black card residents living in the First Ring Road all have their own underground safe houses. They just need to prepare food, water and daily necessities and move in in advance.
For people living in the Second and Third Ring Roads, they have designated several larger resettlement areas on the open space around their homes and prepared emergency supplies in advance just in case.
As soon as June came, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun began to urge everyone to move into the underground safe houses in their respective homes. Yu Duoduo was not sure whether the earthquake would occur earlier.
But in the previous life, the first earthquake was the one with the strongest amplitude and the highest level. Although it lasted for quite a while, it never exceeded the intensity of the first one.
The underground safe house is 90 square meters, with two bedrooms, two living rooms and one bathroom, and can accommodate four people - two couples can accommodate it without any problem.
But it is a bit difficult to accommodate eight grown men in this area and to cram in enough survival supplies for at least one month.
After Brother Wang and his companions moved into the underground safe house, they discovered that his only activity every day was playing Landlord. They were divided into two groups, with two people as substitutes.
This kind of entertainment saves space and is the only way to kill time when living in a safe house. Otherwise, you can only lie in a corner and stare blankly.
Tong Zi and Min Nan just happened to get together a mahjong table and play day and night. They would sleep when they were tired. Anyway, there was no sunlight in the safe house, so it was normal to have a reversed day and night cycle.
Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun's daily life is very rich. They visit the sights in the space, eat, drink and go shopping. After arriving at the base, they also bought some books from the mall. When they get tired of playing, they read. In a word, their life is very fulfilling.
The first earthquake came suddenly in the middle of the night a week after Duoduo and his group moved into the underground safe house.
The earth's turmoil awakened all the sleeping people, except Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun who lived in the space.
For a moment, cries and shouts resounded throughout the land...
The people in the base didn't care about anything else. They put on their shoes and ran out. The strong shaking made people dizzy and terrified. The solid reinforced concrete houses were like puppets in the wind in this catastrophe, which would fall apart at the slightest gust of wind...
Tong Zi and the others followed Yu Duoduo's advice and stored supplies and people completely separately to avoid strong vibrations that might knock down furniture or objects and injure themselves.
So they simply didn't even ask for beds, and both families slept on the floor in the empty bedroom.
The padding is soft, so as long as the safe house does not collapse, they will not be in any danger.
But it’s different outside the safe house.
