Chapter 265 Chapter 265 Heavy Fog
To be honest, Zong Kangping didn't want to go back.
There is a two-meter bed here, space for activities in the entire building, and you don’t have to worry about neighbors.
What’s more important is that we have a small farm at home, so we can eat meat and eggs whenever we want, and we can even drink some goat’s milk.
Can we live the good life we have now if we go back to the shelter?
It is obvious that this is impossible. Even the livestock they have raised with great effort will be forced to be confiscated.
The only problem is water and electricity.
However, they installed a large solar panel on the roof and several diesel generators, so there is basically no problem in maintaining life.
As for water use
There is a medium-sized river nearby. Away from human pollution and destruction, the river water is extremely clean and clear, and is full of fish and shrimps.
Turn left from the gate of the community and walk 100 meters, then turn right into an alley and walk forward into the yard with the house number 1026, where there is a well.
Both domestic and drinking water are guaranteed, though it's a bit troublesome as someone needs to fetch water every two or three days. But in any case, it's much better than the cramped and depressing life in the shelter.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality
After enjoying a free, happy and joyful life for more than half a year, not only Zong Kangping was unwilling to do so, but everyone present was unwilling to do so.
Everyone seemed to be indifferent, but in fact they were quietly listening and waiting for He Junxia's answer. They didn't even have the mood to eat their favorite meat.
He Junxia shook her head: "Not going back."
The wish of the petitioner is to look after his grandchildren until they reach adulthood, but the small shelter has too little capacity to withstand the risk.
Even if we go back, we will still live a hard life. We will not be able to starve to death, nor will we be able to get better. We will not be able to know how to use cutting-edge scientific and technological products.
It’s like the tentacle monster’s aversion to red mushrooms. Even an ordinary person like him can notice it, so how could the national government not know it?
I think when the shelter first sent a bus to pick people up, the repellent powder sprinkled on the outside of the vehicle contained red mushroom ingredients.
But there was no news after that.
He Junxia had a more daring and adventurous idea in his mind - to seek refuge in the provincial capital.
As the saying goes, it is good to lean on a big tree for shade
The shelter in the provincial capital city has the province's top scientific research capabilities, the most complete living facilities and the strongest risk resistance.
Instead of living in fear in a small shelter and leading a repetitive life in confusion, it is better to go to a big city and try your luck.
If you win, you will be guaranteed for the next few years. If you lose, you will just end up in another small shelter, so it’s not a loss.
He Junxia was confident that he could lead everyone safely to the provincial capital. After all, it was only an eight or nine hour drive away.
He told everyone about his decision and thought it would take some convincing, but he didn't expect everyone to agree unanimously.
He Junxia could see that both adults and children were reluctant to give up their current comfortable life. This was normal, as it was human nature to yearn for stability.
But even so, no one stood up to question or refute him. Instead, they completely trusted and accepted his decision.
He Junxia suddenly felt the pressure doubled, and hoped that the shelter in the provincial capital would not let him down.
But before that, some preparation is needed.
First of all, there are too many people and too much supplies, and one small truck definitely cannot hold them all. At least three are needed.
Moreover, he was the only one who could drive a truck. Zhang Shuhui and Zong Kangping could only drive cars and needed training in advance.
Secondly, he also wanted to see the situation at the shelter.
Even though you are moving, you should pack lightly.
Since we can’t take all the livestock from this building and the one next door away, we might as well leave some to the shelter so they can continue to develop.
…
After the decision was made, everyone started to take action.
He Junxia not only taught Pope Kang Ping and Zhang Shuhui how to drive a pickup truck, but also selected a few older children to let them learn how to drive.
Learning one more skill means one more way to make a living. The government has been disbanded, and there is no regulation that minors cannot drive.
In a flash, another 30 days passed.
He Junxia rode a small electric scooter to the human gathering point near the shelter. The Pearl Hotel was bustling with activity, and it seemed that people were arguing about something.
He Junxia put down his electric scooter and sneaked in, and was faced with a question filled with endless anger.
“Why?”
"No one cared about us when we were trapped in the shelter, and now you want to come pick peaches?"
“They’re shit.”
"Wu Ang, if you say something, everyone will follow you and not have to stay in the shelter."
"That's right."
"But they said they have a treasure that can drive away the tentacle monsters. If we don't merge with them, what will we do next time the fog comes?"
"Tsk, so what if we have it, so what if we don't, we still survived."
"If those bastard leaders cared about our lives, why didn't they let us merge when the fog came? Instead of hiding away and enjoying the good life, they come to take advantage now."
"Don't be silly. If there really is something good like that, it won't be our turn to enjoy it."
That's the truth.
The wavering hearts of the crowd gradually leaned towards one side. He Junxia looked at the crowd of old and weak people and decided to add fuel to the fire of "wearing the yellow robe".
"Tsk, just listen to what those people say."
"That treasure that repels tentacle monsters is actually just red mushrooms and tentacle monster corpses dried and ground into powder."
These words instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The man called Brother Zhang walked forward with a smile and asked doubtfully, "Old man, how did you know? Don't fool us."
"That's right, don't tell lies."
If an ordinary elderly person heard that he or she was being accused of deceiving others, he or she would probably want to immediately reveal the source of the information to prove his or her innocence.
He Junxia got what he wished.
He angrily said, "You're talking nonsense. This is what my nephew told me. He used to be a bus driver who picked up people."
Someone immediately realized what was happening and shouted angrily, "No wonder! Do you remember those tentacle corpses in the hall? I was wondering why they had to move them as soon as they arrived."
He Junxia said proudly, "Those tentacle monsters look powerful, but once they eat three red mushrooms, they'll turn into ordinary octopuses and be killed instantly."
These are all true.
He Junxia would visit several human gathering places every once in a while to help out and punish those who bullied the weak, which earned him the title of the Great Fog God.
This information came from some former leaders of the shelter who fled with a large amount of supplies as soon as they discovered something was wrong, and it has been manually confirmed by him.
For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar and talked a lot.
He Junxia took the opportunity to slip away, as he also wanted to check on the situation at several other large human gathering points.
Very good. After being repaired by him many times, those troublesome things have not happened again. Everything is operating normally and it can basically achieve self-sufficiency.
He Junxia gave most of the poultry and livestock to another gathering point managed by senior leaders of the shelter. The people in this gathering point had the best living conditions.
The remaining half was divided equally among several other human gathering points. Whether to divide or combine them depends on their own choice.
As for the base built by the person who ran away with a large amount of supplies and his own guards as soon as the disaster struck, He Junxia could only express his hope that they would destroy themselves.
After all, the food they brought with them had been squandered for more than half a year and there was very little left, and the weapons they had prepared to use against their compatriots were also completely destroyed by him.
If you want to live a good life in the future, you can only rely on your own efforts.
After taking care of all this, He Junxia and a large group of people officially set foot on the highway to City C.
However, considering that Zong Kangping and Zhang Shuhui had only practiced for a month and were not very proficient yet, the speed of the three cars was not fast.
Even though there is nothing on the highway and no obstacles, they always maintain a speed of 60km/h, putting safety first.
4 p.m.
The three cars drove into a highway service area, where the supermarket had not been damaged.
Snacks and dried fruits of all sizes on the shelves became little surprises for children during their boring journey.
A group of children sat on the steps and sang happily. The intermittent singing formed a road to happiness.
Several adults had smiles on their faces.
Miao Xun whispered to his daughter, "At first, I was very worried when your father-in-law wanted to bring so many children to live with us. Now it seems that he was absolutely right."
"Children just want to play with other children. Xiaobao and Jiajia have become much more lively."
Zhang Shuhui's eyebrows and eyes are curved
She will never forget the scene when a few thugs blocked her and the children rushed up to protect her.
8 p.m.
The vehicle finally got off the highway and headed towards the city, but was suddenly blocked by several fences shortly after getting off the highway, and a group of people in uniform ran over quickly.
He Junxia:?
