Chapter 153: The RV will arrive in China in 20 days
"Everything is ready. Isn't it a bit late to talk about this now?"
"...Too."
The matter of Yao Zixin passed like this. When it rained heavily every day and red nematodes appeared, he would sigh that Jingshu was thoughtful and made such a big umbrella that the bugs could not penetrate into the house.
This person's awareness is really good. There is a reason why he lives well in the apocalypse. It seems that I have to follow Jingshu if I have anything to do in the future.
Jingshu couldn't help but squint her eyes. Sea level rise is something that can be predicted. Scientists are talking about this issue every day, and relevant personnel will definitely conduct frequent tests in this regard to make predictions.
Then why do many places get flooded before people have time to migrate?
Because many things on Earth today are beyond the analytical and cognitive scope of existing technology, people call them unscientific.
In fact, the sea level rise was so crazy that it took less than a few days from the discovery of its crazy rise to floods and heavy rains in various places.
The floods came so fast, like a tornado. There was no time to escape the storm, no time to withstand it, and no place to hide...
Who could have imagined that the Earth's sea level, currently rising only 5mm per year, would suddenly explode in a few dozen days? The most terrifying thing is that it doesn't follow common sense and could even flood the African plateau.
Newton: The physics of the earth is no longer my business.
Jingshu sighed. All she could do now was to lead her family to survive safely in the apocalypse and make adequate preparations for the natural disasters in the coming year.
When Jingshu expressed her concerns during dinner, she unexpectedly received the approval of the whole family. Fortunately, the scientists' predictions were correct, although the timing was not very accurate. This gave Jingshu some reason to pave the way for her future actions.
Wu Youai was the first to support the idea: "My advisor said that when things reach their extremes, they will reverse. Heavy rain is inevitable. Not only that, but floods may occur all over the country. It's only a matter of time."
"That makes sense. Scientists have a basis for their argument, and we must make some preparations." Jing Ye also supported it.
Jing's mother said, "I've already dried the vegetables and fruits. We don't have to worry about not having vegetables to eat. We have electric lights on for ten hours a day, and the vegetables are growing very well."
"Let's pack up the food in advance and be ready to escape at any time. But what about the chickens, ducks and pigs? We have to find a way to save the poultry." Jingnai said seriously. How precious are poultry now?
That’s a national treasure!
Jingshu nodded in agreement. The flood would not come here, but just in case, it is better to make more preparations and not joke with your own life.
However, Jingnai's poultry are so precious now, and they must be taken away when they migrate in the future.
But... they were on a mass exodus, while we were just a family, traveling with our chickens, ducks, and pigs. Wouldn't the scene be a little different? Jingshu couldn't bear to think about that scene.
Jing's father gave some advice on house construction: "With heavy rain every day, we definitely need to improve drainage. In addition to your water collection tank, we'll also need to raise the land. One day, have your grandfather pave a sloped concrete floor and dig a channel to divert the excess water to the back mountain."
The whole family gave some suggestions, more or less.
Jingshu only started acting last. There was still a batch of equipment on the second floor of the villa that had not been cleared:
"Besides that, I'm planning to find someone to get me some umbrellas, raincoats, life jackets, and inflatable boats..."
Of course, Jingshu's preparations are more than that. In order to prevent the red nematodes from drilling in and jumping around, Jingshu bought one-piece raincoats, which are rain boots connected to pants, clothes and a hat. The face has lenses to provide vision, and the rest is fully enclosed.
Although it looks a bit ugly, it is not like in the previous life where I had to go out with a plastic bag on my head and come back with red nematodes crawling into my neck and corners. Sometimes it is uncomfortable to have it stick to my body, just like several strands of hair entangled on my skin, very itchy. If it jumps, it feels like scratching.
Jingshu also prepared life jackets, including old-style and new-style automatic inflatable life jackets.
The new model usually looks like a bracelet, which will automatically inflate and bring the person to the surface after falling into the water.
Jingnai later asked how many of these new life jackets were available so that she could put one on each of her poultry. If there was a flood, everyone and the poultry could be tied together and float to the surface without getting lost.
Jingshu: “…”
The next day, Jingye mixed the last few bags of cement and laid them around the villa from low to high, forming a slope to facilitate drainage. In particular, the coal room of several square meters at the back was raised a bit, as it would be difficult to burn coal if it was flooded.
Then Jingshu was not idle either. She started digging a channel from the back of the villa to carry out water diversion projects, mainly to prevent the water around the villa from flooding over. The water level would reach the ankles in the next three or four days of heavy rain. If the water was not drained in the next few months, the body would be submerged.
Just when Jingshu was busy making these preparations, Niu Moo suddenly called and said that Yang Yang had left her a message saying that the things she wanted had arrived and would arrive at the Chinese port in about twenty days, so she should prepare to receive the goods.
Jingshu was so excited.
Fortunately, the meat bun hit the dog and it didn’t come back!
The RV she'd been dreaming about for months finally arrived! It was one of the top three luxury goods in the apocalypse, and now Jingshu was about to own it!
Jingshu calculated the time, which means it’s early December?
The location is a dock in China. Jingshu searched the map and found out that the distance is about 4,000 kilometers. If you take the Lianhuo Expressway before the end of the world, you can get there in three or four days.
But the problem is that some highways are blocked by soil that has been falling for a whole year. There are also other possibilities such as traffic control and road closures. Without knowing the road conditions and whether to take a detour, Jingshu estimates that it will take at least ten days?
If all goes well, we can arrive before the end of December, but if not... we may not be able to make it back if there is a flood.
This timing is a bit annoying.
"Jingshu, Yang Yang asked me to apologize to you. The RV was probably badly damaged. You might need to repair it if you get it back."
"How miserable is it if it's a bit miserable?" Jingshu's face darkened.
"By the way, Jingshu, Yang Yang said that to express his apology, he has contacted the people from Evergrande Logistics Company for you. They are government officials and trustworthy. They will be transporting some supplies for the government from the dock in a few days, and they can also get the RV back for you. However... the cost will be out of your own pocket."
Niu Moo hesitated and didn't say how miserable it was.
Jingshu always felt that the miserable thing Yang Yang described might not be that simple?
Anyway, she was originally thinking about how much time it would take to go to the dock quickly and drive back in person, but she didn't expect that Yang Yang had made the arrangements and was able to get the RV back as well, which saved her a lot of trouble.
