Chapter 363: All Evacuate
The supplies piled up at home were easy to deal with. Xia Xiaoman put the important supplies into the space, and left some heavier and cold-resistant ones in the room to hide them from others.
But it is not easy to pack the daily necessities for living in the underground city for half a month. If you pack too much, you cannot carry it without transportation. If you pack too little, you are afraid that it will not be enough.
Everyone in the garrison had to move to the underground city. With so many people living together, it would be difficult for her to find an opportunity to use the space even if she wanted to, so she had to pack up enough supplies for her to use for half a month.
After much consideration, Xia Xiaoman decided to bring enough cassava vermicelli for eight days. Cassava vermicelli is not heavy, and a small handful of cassava vermicelli can make a large bowl of vermicelli, so it is more convenient to bring cassava vermicelli. For the remaining seven days, she only brought potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Maodan's rations were much more convenient, all of them were dried or frozen steel-toothed rabbits. After all the supplies were packed, Xia Xiaoman tried to lift them, but couldn't.
I didn't believe it, so I tried again. I used all my strength to suck the baby, but it still didn't move.
Xia Xiaoman looked at the packed supplies in front of her. Was it that her strength had decreased, or were there too many supplies?
After thinking for two seconds, Xia Xiaoman took out a piece of better quality wood from the space, hammered it around for a whole night, and barely made a sled that could be pulled.
She put the sled on Maodan and asked him to try to pull it. Maodan pulled it for a few steps without any problems, but once he started running, the sled would fall sideways.
Xia Xiaoman stood by and watched Maodan pulling the sled. When he saw the problem, he asked Maodan to stop and then took out tools to modify the sled.
In the yard, Xia Xiaoman was busy making a sled. Outside the yard, Zhang Can was picking cotton in the greenhouse. After picking all the cotton, he packed up his and Zhu Xingliang's belongings, and carried Zhu Xingliang's body back home.
No matter how strong the greenhouse is, it is not as strong as a house. If Zhu Xingliang's body is left here, it might be buried by the snow or blown away by the storm. So he planned to take Zhu Xingliang home and settle him down, and then come back to find Zhu Xingliang after the cold wave passed.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to evacuate, and Xia Xiaoman brought Maodan to Lingxu Gang early.
Li Yu'e saw the sled on Maodan and said with a smile, "You also made a sled, why is it so shabby?"
Xia Xiaoman said, "It's my first time making this, so it's good enough if it can be done like this. It doesn't matter if it looks a little ugly, as long as it can be used."
She made two sleds, one for herself and one for Maodan. She originally wanted to make one sled and have Maodan pull it together. But she and Maodan had no tacit understanding in pulling the sled. Either she was one step faster or Maodan was one step faster.
After practicing several times without success, Xia Xiaoman didn't want to continue wasting time, so he made a new sled.
Li Yu'e and her team also made a sled. Without any means of transportation, everyone could only use these primitive methods to pull supplies. But Li Yu'e had many capable people under her, and the sled she made was sturdy and good-looking, which was not comparable to Xia Xiaoman's mediocre skills.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, several security guards came over to register their information. After the information was registered, one of the security guards took Xia Xiaoman and the others to the main group to wait in line.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes with the main force, the team slowly moved forward.
The road to the underground city had been walked by someone yesterday, so there was not much snow on the road and it was easier to walk on.
After walking for more than an hour, some people couldn't stand it anymore and refused to leave. When they met such people, the security guards would pull them out of the team and let them wait on the side of the road until they had enough rest or their brains came back to their senses, and then they could catch up with the team again.
Xiao Zheyu whispered, "These people are very sick, and they don't even consider the time before they start trouble. In the wild in the ice and snow, they have to walk even if they are too tired to walk, otherwise they will freeze to death. They don't understand such a simple truth."
Su Ran rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stop talking! Save your energy. We don't know how long we'll have to walk."
If possible, who wants to cause trouble? It's really too cold to bear. In the wild with temperatures of minus 50 or 60 degrees, the wind blowing on my face feels like being scraped by a knife.
My body was fine, I was wearing a rabbit fur coat, so I could bear the cold. But my feet were freezing cold on the ice and snow, my bones were cold, and my feet were almost numb from the freezing.
Not everyone is so lucky to buy boots made of rabbit skin, and many people wear cloth shoes made of rags. Cloth shoes will get wet when they touch snow, and soon your feet will be colder than ice.
Not to mention ordinary people, even Xia Xiaoman felt cold, but she could still bear it.
After walking for more than an hour, Xia Xiaoman was already numbed by the cold wind. He pulled the sled forward sluggishly like a zombie.
Suddenly, the team stopped. Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman took out the thermos cup from her backpack and drank a mouthful of water soaked with red worms to restore her vitality. The red worms were effective. After drinking half a cup of water, she felt much warmer.
"Someone was frozen unconscious." said Xiao Zheyu who went to find out the news.
Su Ran rubbed his frozen cheeks and said, "If I keep going, it won't be long before I'll be frozen unconscious."
Xia Xiaoman said, "Eat some red worm powder or ginger powder! It can help you resist the cold."
Su Ran shook his head and said, "We had already eaten red worm powder before we set off." He was afraid that he would lose his mind if he didn't eat too much red worm powder.
After checking on Wen Xu and Wen Ling, Li Yu'e walked over to Xia Xiaoman and asked, "Xiaoman, how are you? Can you still walk? If you can't walk anymore, tell me and I'll send someone to help you."
Xia Xiaoman pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled: "No need, I can still hold on."
After a rest of less than five minutes, the team began to move slowly again. After walking for about 40 minutes, they finally reached the entrance of the dungeon.
This underground city was not built on flat ground, but under a relatively large earth slope, with the entrance at the foot of the earth slope. The entrance was blocked by a huge rock, and if the rock was not removed, no one would have thought that there was an entrance behind it.
After waiting in line for twenty minutes, it was finally Xia Xiaoman and his friends' turn to enter the dungeon entrance.
There were several security guards guarding the entrance. After registering the information and verifying that it was correct, the security guards gave Xia Xiaoman and the others a number tag.
"Find the corresponding location according to the number plate, stay there and don't run around. If you need anything, you can ask the patrolling security guard for help."
Xia Xiaoman and others responded, took their number tags and walked into the underground city.
