Chapter 94: Eschatology
Yu Duoduo could see that Xie Yun had resisted the urge to continue blaming him.
In the end times, everyone is an independent individual, no one depends on anyone else to live, and no one can restrict the actions and freedom of others.
Yu Duoduo, who was reborn, understood this principle, and Xie Yun also understood it.
Finally, he just said, "I'll go with you tomorrow."
When the two returned to Room 1218, Tong Zi was removing the tendons and skin of the remaining snake and throwing it into a large plastic basin, while her boyfriend Wei Dong stood aside, tearing open a bag of salt and rubbing it on the snake with his hands.
"This is too much of a waste of salt!" Minan sighed.
"The weather is hot and humid. The snake is dead and we can't keep it overnight, otherwise it will be inedible tomorrow. If we pickle it with salt, it will be edible for a long time." Tong Zi explained.
Minan looked at the six turkeys in her hand. Each of them looked like a suckling pig. How much salt would it take? Anyway, she only had one bag of salt at home. She estimated that if she used it sparingly, it would last for a month or two.
"I have a battery-powered freezer there that can last for a few days. I'd better save the salt for replenishing my energy."
Xie Yun spoke up to stop them from pickling the raw meat. Pickled food is not good for health. Besides, such a large amount of meat would require a lot of salt. In the end times, salt is a precious commodity.
Then, Xie Yun called Yu Duoduo to go back to the house together and drag out a low freezer the size of a desk.
After solving the problem of storing raw meat, everyone started to help prepare for the turkey and snake feast in the evening!
Chef Tong Zi really did not disappoint us at all.
There are ten dishes in total, including dragon and phoenix soup, salt and pepper snake meat, braised snake meat, shredded turkey with vegetables, turkey rolls, oil-drizzled turkey wings, chicken oil eggplant, etc., all of which are tempting.
Because Le Yan was unable to get up and was not suitable to move, everyone took the initiative to move the dinner location to Room 1220 where Mi Nan and her friends lived.
The atmosphere of this dinner was obviously much more harmonious than the last time. Even Xie Yun and Wei Dong, the two taciturn people, started to chat over cups.
“You said, this rain is endless, and it’s about to flood the 5th floor. If it continues at this rate, in two months, at most, the 12th floor will be flooded too!
Is this really a natural disaster? This must be the end of the world!"
Tong Zi stared at the gradually darkening night outside and sighed.
Yu Duoduo listened to Tong Zi's words and glanced at Xie Yun who was a little drunk. He seemed to have no reaction.
It was Wei Dong who spoke up, "I think this is the end of the world. The rain keeps falling, the water keeps rising, and the world is in chaos. It's hard to say how long we can survive."
Yu Duoduo complained in his heart, it was the end of the world, yes, but the water would not reach the 12th floor, the rain would gradually become smaller as time went by, until it stopped.
At least in the last life, the rain only reached the 9th floor and then stopped, otherwise Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun would not have chosen to continue living here after their rebirth.
But even if the water only reaches the 9th floor, the water level is still very alarming. The water depth in the community is at least 50 meters, and for other low-lying areas in the city, it may exceed 60 meters!
"Sister Tong Zi, don't be so pessimistic. The rain may stop in a few days! The government must be actively looking for solutions! Let's just stay at home and protect ourselves. Don't let the man-made disaster take us away before the natural disaster subsides."
The person who said this was Minan. Ever since she figured it out and let it go, she has returned to her original optimistic and positive state.
"Besides, didn't Xiao Zhou from the building committee say this afternoon that there will be a public trial of the villains tomorrow? Why don't we go and watch it together? Everyone has been too tense these days, so let's just go out and relax!"
Tong Zi looked at Min Nan and nodded.
Yu Duoduo coughed twice and said, "Well, I'm going to the suburbs again tomorrow to see if there's a chance to find some more meat. After all, just as you guys assumed, what if - I mean what if, in a short period of time, the rain really doesn't stop, so we still have to make some preparations!"
This much has been hinted at. Yu Duoduo has done her best. The rest is up to them to figure out on their own.
"Duoduo and I are here together. The neighborhood is relatively calm right now. If we lock the doors of each house, there shouldn't be any problems." Xie Yun said.
After deciding on each family's destination for tomorrow's trip, the dinner ended.
When leaving, Tong Zi held Yu Duoduo's arm, stopped and whispered in her ear: "Don't you think Xie Yun has changed a lot?"
Yu Duoduo pretended not to understand and asked back: "Really?"
"Hmm! He used to be such a particular person, but today he is wearing an apron and gloves at home~ He has been planting the fields all day! You also know the smell of the nutrient solution...
Today, Dongdong and I came back from a visit and were shocked! There were three whole rooms full of them!" Tong Zi had an incredible expression on his face.
Yu Duoduo raised his eyebrows. This was indeed something that Xie Yun in his previous life could not have done. After all, letting a doctor with mysophobia to farm, just thinking about that scene was a pleasing thing to do!
But Xie Yun in this life has indeed changed a lot. The old impression of him in her heart has long been overturned. Everything seems to have been shattered and started over again. Xie Yun is brand new every day. The only thing that has not changed is that he still protects her like when he was a child.
“Perhaps the cruelty of this natural disaster has given doctors a stronger sense of urgency. Although the government distributes food every week, it is easy to get sick if the nutrition is not evenly distributed.
Besides, who can guarantee that there won’t be any accidents in the future for ordinary people like us? We still have to prepare in advance!"
Yu Duoduo patted Tong Zi's shoulder and signaled her not to think too much about it. After all, in such an environment, any changes would not be surprising.
On the second day, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun went out early in the morning, and the speedboat headed towards a large breeding farm located in the western suburbs of Hui City.
Most people hadn't gotten up yet, and all we could hear along the way was the sound of the rain.
Xie Yun suddenly asked, "Rooms 1211 to 1215 next to us should be empty, right? We haven't seen anyone come out in such a long time.
Yesterday I requisitioned rooms 1216, 1217, and 1219 to grow vegetables, and I found that the keyholes of those five rooms were blocked with something like plastic. Did you do that?"
Yu Duoduo was stunned. Yes, now everyone living on the 12th floor is their own people, and no one has ever come out of those five rooms. With Xie Yun's intelligence, it is only a matter of time before he discovers the trick inside.
"Yeah, after I was reborn, I didn't have enough money to buy a house, so I had to requisition an empty house to store supplies! I guess you haven't mentioned this to other people, right?"
