Chapter 185 Mom Looks Familiar
Tan Zhaozhao and Li Shan looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. After a moment, these emotions turned into relief.
Having just experienced an attack, they know best how terrifying and uncontrollable these people are who rely on their physical strength and gender advantages and harbor criminal mindsets.
The most important thing is that now that the two men are dead, they don’t have to bear the responsibility of two lives, nor do they have to worry about possible revenge in the future.
Thinking of this, the two of them felt a little relieved that they had been worried about the coming of the doomsday.
No matter what the future holds, at least they are safe now, and it gives them more time to accept the end of the world and prepare for their subsequent survival.
Tan Zhaozhao's resentment towards Bai Yichen for threatening her in the past also disappeared a lot, and in her eyes, Tang Jin and others also became more reliable than before.
After seeing them off, Tan Zhaozhao closed the door, turned around, and looked at Li Shan, and they both laughed at the same time.
"Sure enough, words can never be as touching as actual actions." Tan Zhaozhao said softly.
Li Shan reached out and hugged her, saying happily, "How is it? Now you don't have to have nightmares and can't sleep because you suspect you killed someone, right? You have dark circles under your eyes these past few days, you must get a good night's sleep tonight!"
Tan Zhaozhao smiled and nodded.
-
Every day after that was not much different from the day before.
Raising chicks, ducks and geese, tilling the vegetable garden where seeds had just been sown, taking lots of cute photos of the stars, and carefully recording every day's rainstorm in a diary.
Tang Jin and his colleagues took water transportation to travel between the community and various resettlement sites.
There are more residents in the resettlement sites, and the situation is more chaotic and difficult to control. They also have to assist other rescue workers in distributing survival supply packages to residents in the resettlement sites. Those are food and living resources that the country had mobilized and stored before doomsday.
Tan Zhaozhao and Li Shan also have it.
On the tenth day, the supermarket, car wash, hardware store, etc. downstairs were all completely submerged by rain, and even the roofs could not be seen.
Heavy rain was still pouring down on the city without stopping, and the water level was gradually submerging the low-rise buildings. At this point, there were basically no survivors in the entire city except for the resettlement areas and high-rise residents in various communities.
The frequency and duration of Tang Jin and his team's outings also decreased a lot.
On the eleventh day, they asked Tan Zhaozhao and Li Shan if they wanted to go out together to salvage the remaining usable supplies nearby and prepare for the upcoming doomsday in advance.
"Song Qianyi died in the snowstorm. Before the snowstorm, there was a rainstorm that heralded the end of the world. After the rainstorm stopped, there was a two-month high temperature and more than half a year of epidemics. In addition, there were earthquakes, wind disasters, snowstorms, and extreme cold..."
"We have no way of knowing whether the disaster will stop or happen again after the extreme cold caused by the snowstorm, and we have no idea what natural disasters will challenge us in the future. At that time, we can only be prepared to respond faster than the disaster, in addition to being able to adapt to the situation. Therefore, searching for supplies is necessary, but before searching for supplies, we should try our best to avoid all losses caused by known disasters."
Tan Zhaozhao carefully recalled the information given by the police, and then looked up at the six people who were listening to him carefully. After a moment's silence, he said to them, "Song Qianyi was reborn from the future, but with the flapping of her butterfly wings, the direction of the end of our time and space may change greatly, so we have a chance to avoid some losses, especially to avoid the mass death of the people."
"For example?" Tang Jin asked.
Tan Zhaozhao smiled and replied, "For example, during the six-month-long epidemic, it is true that urban garbage was soaked in water, but the most important thing is that this time there will be no corpses everywhere in the water, and the survivors will not rashly go into the water. The country has water purification and storage facilities in resettlement areas, so we can prepare for high temperature disasters more calmly. As long as we take good protection, we don't have to worry about the spread of the epidemic."
Her tone was calm, but her words were particularly convincing.
Even Bai Yichen, a doctor, nodded in agreement. "That's right. The survivors have resettlement centers. Under control, they will basically not become the source of the disease, let alone contact the source. So there may be disease, but the spread and intensity should not be as serious as before Song Qianyi was reborn."
"So instead of searching for supplies, I think you should pay more attention to how to deal with the domestic waste of the survivors in the resettlement area." Tan Zhaozhao pointed out a point that might be overlooked.
In fact, the country's garbage disposal is not bad, but things are different now. Once someone dumps a large amount of domestic garbage and feces into the rainwater, it will soon spread with the spread of water to every corner of the city connected by water.
"In addition to feces, we also need to salvage the carcasses of small animals and the floating garbage in the water." Tan Zhaozhao's voice became softer, and he subconsciously hugged Xingxing tightly. After getting the warmth from the kitten, he continued, "Many stray animals will die in this natural disaster. Without human intervention, their carcasses will swell and rot in the water, so they need to be salvaged and handled in a timely manner."
Tang Jin and his companions also quieted down.
How many stray animals are there in a city?
How many pets will families who migrate to escape natural disasters cruelly leave behind before escaping?
No one can figure it out.
Just as no one knows, after this long natural disaster, besides humans, will there still be stray cats and dogs hiding and walking among street corners and buildings in the city.
"We will report it." Tang Jin nodded in agreement.
"Now we can compile a list of supplies that need to be searched."
Tan Zhaozhao was very organized. Not only was his logic clear, he also took out his tablet and opened the city map he had downloaded earlier, which showed all the roads, large and small, as well as large buildings and landmarks in the city.
"This is our Chaoyang neighborhood." She zoomed in on a red dot and said to the others, "There are no particularly large supermarkets around us, but there are many small supermarkets, as well as some building materials, hardware, and clothing stores. If we start from our neighborhood and search for supplies, the first things we'll look for are building materials, clothing, and drinking water."
"Building materials have many uses, such as building sheds for our livestock and preparing for subsequent earthquakes. Even though we know this building won't collapse, no one can predict what will happen next. If possible, we should have a safer resting house to avoid earthquakes."
"Then there are clothes. The high temperature doesn't require too many clothes, but there will be even more severe snowstorms later. We must be one step ahead of others to collect enough cotton wool so that we can better withstand the snowstorm and extreme cold."
"Besides that, we need some curtains. The thicker the better."
"Curtains? Why?" Su Mingyue asked curiously.
Li Shan raised her hand while holding a pen to take notes and answered, "I know this. In the summer, when the temperature is high, we need to cover the windows where we live to avoid damage caused by direct sunlight. It can also make the house cooler than outside. This is similar to... we always cover the freezer with a blanket, right?"
Tan Zhaozhao smiled and nodded: "Yes, but I am just guessing. After all, I haven't tried it myself, so I'm not sure whether my idea can be used. Anyway, it won't be wrong to prepare these things in advance."
As she spoke, she zoomed out the map on the tablet and hesitated, "But wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to rashly touch other people's property? Although not all of those who have migrated out can come back, most of them should still come back here, right?"
If that's the case, then isn't their behavior of searching for supplies no different from those of the two robbers who broke into someone else's house by prying open the door?
It’s not that Tan Zhaozhao’s sense of morality is too high, but in the doomsday when order is crumbling, if people stick to their hearts and follow the social order, even if they can only let this default order last for one more day, perhaps many people will be able to survive.
"Don't worry." Tang Jin said with a smile: "We will take care of all these. We are not encroaching on people's property, but concentrating all available materials and redistributing them. The losses caused will also be converted into equivalent materials for compensation."
Tan Zhaozhao suddenly realized.
In other words, it is not just their small team that is searching for supplies, but all cities across the country that are experiencing disasters will have personnel specially dispatched by the state to search for supplies, and then concentrate them for secondary distribution and supply.
The merchants whose supplies have been taken away will not suffer any loss. They can exchange supplies that they cannot keep and are temporarily useless during the disaster for a long-term, stable and comprehensive supply of supplies. Any smart merchant will basically agree to this deal.
The most important thing is that these things are much safer in the hands of the country than being washed away by water or robbed and causing death. The principle that it is a crime to possess a treasure has been true since ancient times.
"Do you want to go with us?" Chen Yi asked the two of them, but most importantly, she asked Li Shan.
Because Li Shan's fighting power is very high, and Tan Zhaozhao is a rookie who is so tired that she falls down after basic exercises every day, everyone basically assumes that she is a pure logistics personnel.
Of course, after today's analysis, she will be transformed from a logistics person to a more valuable commanding person, and she will not have to take risks herself.
"Zhao Zhao, what will you do if I go with them?" Li Shan turned around and gave the decision to Tan Zhaozhao.
The two have always been like this, and can make important decisions for each other. It just depends on who is calmer and more decisive at the moment.
Tan Zhaozhao nodded in agreement, "Go ahead, I'll go to your house to feed those hatched little ones and clean up their feces."
"By the way, when you leave, remember to take the garbage out with you."
"Well, then you should be careful. If you find anything wrong, go home immediately and close the door and turn on the power."
After Li Shan finished speaking, she looked at the little orange cat in Tan Zhaozhao's arms who had been quiet and well-behaved the whole time, pursed her lips, and left with them feeling relieved.
After the last crisis, she no longer speculated whether Xingxing had any ill will towards Tan Zhaozhao. Instead, she felt somewhat reassured about Tan Zhaozhao's safety because of Xingxing's existence.
With such an elusive and mysterious kitten around, Tan Zhaozhao's safety level when alone can be improved by several levels.
After they left, Tan Zhaozhao put the stars into his hood again and went downstairs to feed the chicks, ducks and geese, and clean up their feces. The feces of these poultry can be collected and used to fertilize the soil and grow vegetables. In short, there will be no waste.
Xingxing curled up in her mother's hood, yawning sleepily one after another, but still forced herself to watch the video that Qiuqiu had just recorded.
It was a video recording of Tan Zhaozhao sitting there and talking to Tang Jin and others.
The girl in the picture speaks clearly and her layout and arrangements are orderly. She is calm enough and her vision is sharp and far-sighted enough.
Xingxing thought she looked a little familiar.
Qiuqiu knew it very well and of course it looked familiar. In the apocalyptic world where Xingxing lived, its guardian was also able to control the overall situation in a gentle tone like Tan Zhaozhao.
Different time and space, different experiences, even the disasters are completely different.
But Xingxing met two similar humans, and they both became its guardians.
Thinking about it this way, I don’t know whether it is the stars’ luck or the misfortune of the two time and space.
