In order to get a better snack for dinner, the second-generation rich work very hard, forgetting their identity as second-generation rich and treating themselves as excavators.
Lin Man was very satisfied. Look, there is still a lot of room for improvement.
As time goes by, the heat of the sun is getting lower and lower. Although I still sweat when I move at noon, it no longer has the power of midsummer.
A rumbling sound came from the distant sky, and the huge body of the transport plane was getting closer and closer. The second-generation rich people working in the cellar couldn't help but run out to see, and watched the transport plane fly to the other side of the mountain.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Hey, you guys are flying around all day. What amazing supplies have you managed to get?"
Lin Man glanced at the other person calmly. "First of all, I don't say hello. Secondly, I don't fly back and forth all the time. It's only once every few days, okay? Finally, why did I tell you what supplies it was?"
Lin Man clapped his hands and stood up, asking the small team working on the ground to keep an eye on the nine people and not let them run away. Then he strolled back to the south side of Dayan Mountain, where the base was located.
The transport plane did not land, but directly dumped the things in the air onto the wide open space that had been prepared long ago. They were bundles of wood, some were so thick that people had to hug them, and some were thin branches. They fell to the ground with great noise, and smoke and dust billowed, and finally piled up into a huge mountain.
After all the wood has been dumped, people gather around and spread it out to dry. In this process, a rough sorting is done. Some wood can only be used for burning, while others of better quality can be used for other purposes, such as building houses, making furniture and utensils, etc.
"There's another batch over there. We don't have to worry about fire this winter."
Zheng Gang said happily that he would be in charge of the wood processing work. Seeing such a large pile of wood, he felt like he saw piles of burning flames in winter.
"It's a pity that I heard that those coal-producing areas have been dug out long ago. Otherwise, we all have planes, and we can just go out and transport a planeload of coal back." He was even dreaming about how durable coal is.
But if there is no coal, some other kind of charcoal would be good too. He said to Lin Man, "Some of us know how to make charcoal. How about making some charcoal? It will be more convenient and durable to use for heating in winter."
In winter, heating is essential. When new houses were first built, the immigrants from the north built cement kangs in every room, which provided a good level of warmth. But you can't stay on the kang all the time, right? For indoor heating, charcoal is more suitable than burning wood, which produces large flames, smoke, and is both dirty and unsafe.
Lin Man nodded: "You decide." Looking at the wood, which was mostly dry, she said: "Let's chop all that can be chopped in the next two days, make all that needs to be made into charcoal, and then store it in the warehouse. I heard it's going to rain in a couple of days."
The experts, who seemed to be very capable and omnipotent, set up a weather station in Dayan Mountain with some very simple equipment. They speculated that there would be a heavy rain in the future, but they didn't know how heavy it would be or when it would fall. When they talked on the phone yesterday, Lin Zhongrong also reminded Lin Man that there would be relatively heavy rainfall in her area in the next two or three days.
It was a good thing that it rained. After the rain, the well-built and dry reservoirs were filled up without the need for manpower and electricity to pump up deep groundwater. God simply filled them up.
"Okay, more people will get busy faster." Zheng Gang said with a smile.
Those food processing workshops have stopped working again in the past two days because there is not much food and the harvest time has not yet come. Once the work is done, they are gone, which is a good time to take over the work of chopping and sorting firewood.
Lin Man thought to herself, after this, I have to make some clothes for everyone. At least everyone should have a set of winter clothes, right? Her father had been inspired by something and sent her a lot of supplies, including a lot of fabric, some quilts, and some stuffing for winter clothes.
Of course, those cotton materials are not cotton. They are all chemically synthesized cotton-like substances, mixed with a certain proportion of shredded old clothes, quilts and other items. They don’t look very good, but they are warm enough. However, the quantity is not much, because it is a very rare and precious material in the reunion base. If each of them makes a winter coat, they can only fill it with a thin layer.
But that's better than nothing.
In addition to winter clothes, another important thing is shoes.
The major necessities of their base, such as food and accommodation, have been greatly improved and are now guaranteed. They don't have to worry too much about clothes anymore, but there are still many problems with small things. For example, Lin Man really has no way to deal with shoes. They have not been replaced until now, and many people are still barefoot.
There were no shoes among the supplies her father sent, and Lin Man didn't want to rely on him for everything, so she decided to ask someone if she could collect some rubber materials such as soles and tires, melt them down, and make her own shoes at the base. Shoes without rubber soles are basically useless in winter.
However, before she could get busy with the shoes, a heavy rain came first. It was two days later, at night, when people were getting ready for bed. The sky suddenly brightened, and before people could react, there was a loud rumble and a bolt of thunder struck down. The doors and windows on the ground vibrated faintly, and everyone was suffocated. Then there were all kinds of lightning and thunder.
Lin Mandu was already in the space, and he quickly ran out to look at the sky. It was thundering in November, wasn't this too abnormal?
However, the weather has become increasingly weird in recent years. It used to be a scorching summer from April to October.
Lin Man asked Chen Yu to stay in his room and not come out, and he ran to the livestock to check on them. The pigpen, sheep pen and chicken coop were all built in the Feng Shui treasure land of the valley. Lin Man could hear their screams even from his own home. They were obviously scared to death.
When they went over, they were indeed running around in circles, almost scared to death. Now it was the Zhao family who was in charge of them. The Zhao family immediately brought them into the house they lived in. Mother Zhao used her special powers to comfort them one by one. They finally calmed down and huddled together. Lin Man felt relieved.
She suddenly thought of the group of second-generation rich kids and looked up at the sky. The dark clouds were rolling, sometimes bright and sometimes dark under the lightning. It was very scary. It was sure to rain heavily soon, so she immediately notified the people over there to bring them over.
They lived in simple tents that could not withstand the rain. Even if Lin Man was willing to let them get wet, he was reluctant to let his own people accompany them in the rain just to see them.
A signal tower was built on Dayan Mountain, and people on the mountain could use communicators to communicate with each other. However, the sound, which was always clear in the past, was mixed with a rustling sound this time. I think the lightning affected the signal.
Lin Man then went down the mountain and told everyone to stay indoors and not come out. He found a larger empty house and asked people to bring some hay, quilts, hot water and a little food. Just as he finished doing all this, a heavy rain came down.
Then, after a long while, the second-generation rich group arrived. They were all soaked like drowned rats, and some were covered in mud, looking very embarrassed.
Lin Man sighed, and thinking of the work these people had done for him, he didn't mind the trouble anymore. He asked someone to bring some clean clothes, asked them to wash up simply, change into clean clothes, and sleep here at night.
"You just got caught in the rain. If you feel cold, just light up the kang yourself. You're from the north, so you don't need anyone to teach you how to do it, right?"
Several people nodded quickly, and then looked at their new situation, feeling it was particularly unreal. These people had never been treated well since they came here, and suddenly they had to live in a concrete house with quilts to cover themselves. They immediately burst into tears, thinking that this rain was really a blessing in disguise, and they finally didn't have to live in a miserable tent.
Lin Man ran to the core camp over there, which was the logistics and supplies area. All the important things were there, and the signal tower was also built there. People usually came here to discuss things.
She ran to the eaves and put down the wooden board that was above her head to block the rain, but she was still soaked.
The captains of the small teams also rushed over. After everyone went in for a meeting, the captains expressed their concerns about the thunder and lightning outside. They said that whenever there was thunder, nothing good would happen.
At first, every time there was thunder and a heavy rainstorm, the zombies would become stronger, as if the thunderstorm was a nutritious meal sent to them by God.
Later, every time there was a thunder, the weather became a little weird, and animals and plants would also be affected. Basically, every time there was a thunder, the yield in the field would decrease by one point. Today, almost all plants in the world have been destroyed by thunder.
They have no control over whether the production in the fields will decrease, but it is necessary to strengthen security around Dayan Mountain.
Lin Man said, "Alright, it's better to be safe than sorry. Everyone should be alert tonight. We need to have someone in the tower keep an eye on the surroundings. Luckily, we built a very strong defense wall, so we shouldn't be in trouble."
Although there have been no zombies around Dayan Mountain, what if some zombies suddenly got some nutritious meal from thunder and lightning and rain, suddenly burst out with supernatural power, and their sense of smell increased, and then came to attack them?
In short, most people did not sleep that night, whether they were on duty or working quietly at home. They were all a little frightened when they saw the lightning flashing in the sky. It was really scary when nature showed its power.
…
In the second half of the night, the thunder and lightning stopped and the rain subsided. Just when people breathed a sigh of relief, the alarm sounded. It was not zombies, but unidentified objects appeared in the distant sky. They were black and there seemed to be quite a few of them.
Lin Man looked at it for a long time, but the black thing was really hard to identify in the dark night sky. After a long time, she took a deep breath. Such a big bird, it must be a zombie bird!
Where did this come from?
Lin Man still remembers the experience of the zombie bird flock attacking the base when he was a child. Humans had almost no power to fight back against these attacks from the sky. They could only find a place to hide, otherwise they would be in danger of being caught and torn to pieces at any time.
However, at that time, once the zombie bird flocks appeared, they almost covered the sky and the sun, and the houses in the base were indeed dilapidated and simple, with extremely poor defense, and it was not safe to hide in the houses. But now the base is basically made up of concrete houses, and as long as the doors and windows are closed, it is still very safe inside, and those zombie birds are roughly counted, there are no more than ten of them.
She immediately turned on the base-wide broadcast. Almost every independent camp was equipped with a large loudspeaker, so that it would be convenient to broadcast the entire base in case of an emergency.
"Everyone, hide in your houses and don't come out. Close the doors and windows tightly. Those patrolling outside, find cover immediately. Watch out! A group of zombie birds is coming from the southwest sky! There are seven to ten of them! Do not attack without my order. The first priority is to protect your own life!"
After Lin Man finished his report, he came under the eaves and looked at the birds. They were flying closer and closer, and lower and lower. It was obvious that they were heading towards Dayan Mountain. They flew very lightly and quickly in the rain. The rain not only could not hinder them, but also seemed to give them some kind of power.
Their wings are huge and their bodies are large. Even if there are no more than ten of them, a group of them flying over would look like an ominous dark cloud.
Lin Man took out the palm-sized communicator from her waist and called out the names of more than a dozen people. After the thunder and lightning stopped, the communication became clear again. The people she called out were all the most accurate shooters. Some were captains and some were not. Only captains had communicators, but they would help Lin Man convey the orders.
It is very difficult to concentrate the zombie birds, especially in the middle of the night, so the person with the most accurate shooting skills must be dispatched. But when it comes to "shooting skills", who is more accurate than Lin Man?
After she gave the order, she ran out.
