Chapter 114 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
The villagers excitedly ran out of the small exit and found that they were faced with a wilderness whose geographical location was completely unrecognizable. Their ecstatic expressions froze slightly and their eyes became blank.
"Where is this?"
"Look over there!" Chen Rong pointed behind the crowd with wide eyes. "Is there smoke over there? Have we not escaped the wildfire yet?"
The other villagers panicked, "We've been walking for four days. Could it be that we've come back again?"
Lu Xuan glanced at the geographical location on the weather companion and said, "No, it's very far away." It's just that the Yunlu Mountains cover too vast an area, and the wildfire affected a wider range, so it took only four days to spread here.
He looked around and tried to reassure the anxious villagers, "There's almost no grass growing around here, so the wildfire can't reach here."
There is also good news.
The peak of the extreme heat has passed and the temperature outside has dropped significantly. It was 60 degrees when the wildfire started, but in less than five days it has dropped to 35 degrees, and it will continue to drop.
After Lu Xuan's reminder, the others noticed this change and looked happy.
"It's true! I wasn't hot wearing the biosuit to begin with, but I didn't realize how much cooler it actually is!"
"This damn hot season is finally over!"
Li Tie, the village chief, also showed a relaxed smile on his face.
More than two months of hot weather!
While the surrounding villages of Yunlu Village were completely wiped out, with only one in ten villages left, and perhaps even the entire army annihilated, their village actually managed to survive without losing a single person! What an amazing feat!
Although Lu Xuan was the biggest contributor, Li Tie still felt a sense of pride in his heart.
Lei Yan, a calm and composed man, was the first to recover. "What should we do next? Should we go further?"
Lu Xuan looked at the team, who were clearly distracted after relaxing. "Everyone's been traveling for several days, and their spirits have been tense. Let's rest here for a few days."
Not only the people, but also the pheasants, cattle and sheep they brought along were frightened by the noise made by the giant python and needed to calm down.
Li Tie looked around and saw that many of the women and children looked a little unwell. He agreed, "It's time to rest for a few days."
The exhausted villagers learned that they should rest on the spot, and immediately took out the cabins in the space or the tents distributed by Lu Xuan and set them up.
The women took out water and other daily necessities to do the logistical work.
Xiong Mao, Zhang Chengming, Wei Xiang and other psychics who did not have the opportunity to show their abilities in the battle against the giant python went around the area to eliminate any wild beasts that might exist in the wilderness.
·
After nightfall, everyone heard the howling of wolves and several other strange noises coming from nowhere. Without the cave and security door to protect them, they dared not sleep peacefully at all.
Tents are not soundproof and have poor protection; quarantine cabins are soundproof, but people worry that if something dangerous happens, people inside will not be able to detect it.
In the end, Lu Xuan took out more safe houses and resettled everyone.
The next day, the earthquake struck as expected.
Because the scale of the earthquake was not too large, the experienced villagers had long since stopped panicking and went about their business as soon as the earthquake stopped.
For the next few days, the group settled in this wilderness.
The villagers gradually adjusted their mindsets and accepted the fact that they had lost their permanent shelter.
Then, they began to ask the village chief and Lu Xuan whether it was time for them to move.
Can't stay here forever?
There are almost no resources nearby, and the view is too wide. The villagers who are used to living in caves have no sense of security at all.
Even if there is a safe house, it won’t work because they can’t stay in the house all day without coming out.
Lu Xuan said: "No rush, wait two more days."
The villagers and the audience were all confused. What were they waiting for?
Lu Xuan: Of course, wait for the rain.
Two days later, the temperature dropped to 20 degrees Celsius, and the dry land that had been dry for more than two months finally welcomed the long-awaited heavy rain.
“It’s raining!!!”
The villagers who were busy in the camp felt the raindrops falling on them and cheered from the bottom of their hearts, almost crying with excitement.
It’s finally raining!
The children jumped excitedly in the rain, grinning and laughing, as happy as a group of little fools.
Li Tie smirked for a moment, then as if remembering something, he reminded the others, "Don't get too excited. Hurry up and get some water in the container."
They have been using stored waterfall water these days. Since they had never lacked water before, the stored amount was not large. After a few days, more than half of it has been used up. This rain is a timely rain in every sense.
After the villagers came to their senses, they immediately took action in a hurry.
The water tank, wooden basin, and plastic box exchanged from Lu Xuan were all emptied to collect water.
Although they will not be short of water in the next disaster, it is worthwhile to stock up when it is easy to do so.
The rain lasted for three days in a row, which not only allowed the villagers to store a lot of water for daily use, but also gradually put out the raging wildfire that was constantly expanding. When the rain stopped, the last sparks were extinguished.
The wildfire finally stopped.
After waiting for another hour, Lu Xuan said, "Let's go up the mountain to pick up treasures."
Lu Chen's small face was filled with confusion. "What treasure?"
Lu Qing and Lei Yan nodded in agreement. They thought that everything in the mountain had probably been burned down, so what treasures could there be?
The audience doesn't understand either.
In fact, there are indeed some. Quite a few.
The animals that did not have time to escape the wildfire had their fur burned and some of their meat roasted, but there was still a lot of fresh raw meat inside.
In addition, there are charcoal piles all over the mountains, which have just been formed and are soaked by rain.
The conditions for the formation of charcoal are both complex and simple. It is simply formed by heating wood to a high temperature in an oxygen-deficient environment.
The combination of wildfire and heavy rain cannot be said to be completely met, but there is indeed a certain probability of obtaining charcoal formed by partial incomplete combustion.
A low probability is not a big problem, as long as the range is wide enough.
The temperature in the following rainy season can drop to less than ten degrees Celsius, and after winter comes, it will enter an extremely cold climate, which is exactly the opposite of the hot season.
Although air conditioners or other types of heaters can be used, the most cost-effective heating supplies for the villagers that do not cost anything are the charcoal that they pick up for free.
A small half of the people were left to guard the camp, while the others and Lu Xuan went to the hilltop affected by the wildfire. Two or three people worked in groups to pick up charcoal and dead prey.
Apart from eating and sleeping, the group of people spent two full days in the mountains picking up trees in all weathers, wearing the transparent raincoats they had exchanged with Lu Xuan.
Those who harvested less still picked up at least a few hundred kilograms of charcoal, and those who harvested more could collect up to one or two tons.
The prey picked up weighed at least 100 to 200 kilograms, and at most 700 kilograms.
Except for the fact that 10% of these gains must be paid to public resources, the rest belongs to whoever picks it up.
Because the quantity was too large, he kept the meat himself, and asked Lu Xuan to help preserve the charcoal that could not be stored.
The work of drying the charcoal was also outsourced.
Lu Xuan drew a large dryer from a golden blind box two days ago. It can dry one ton of charcoal at a time. It takes an hour to completely dry it. It only takes a few days to dry dozens of tons of charcoal.
On the morning of the third day, when the others wanted to continue picking up more charcoal, Lu Xuan said, "Let's just pick up here."
The women, who were particularly enthusiastic about the white-collared activities, were all surprised. Miao Jinfeng asked in astonishment, "Isn't there still a large area left to be picked up? Why aren't you picking up anything now?"
In two days, they couldn't even circle the entire mountain, let alone other mountains around it. This is totally unrelated.
Lu Xuan reached out to catch the rain that was falling again and said, "The rain will become more frequent and heavier. We should look for our next place to stay."
The female relatives who were trying to pull Lu Qing to persuade Lu Xuan to change his mind shut up instantly.
The more frequent rain means that they are facing the next challenge after just going through a period of disaster.
This is no joke.
Miao Jinfeng quickly changed her tone: "Let's go! Hurry back and pack your luggage!"
Back at the camp, Li Tie agreed with Lu Xuan's plan after learning about it. "Charcoal is important, but finding a new place to survive the next disaster is even more important. Pack up your luggage and tents, and we'll set off today."
Lu Xuan reminded everyone, "You don't have to pack up all your luggage. Leave some food and a change of clothes outside. We won't be able to hide away in a corner like we did in the mountains. We need to at least put on some pretense when we meet other disaster victims."
Li Tie's expression became serious. "I wouldn't have thought of it if you hadn't told me. That's right, we can't just reveal the existence of our portable space and let people guess that we have a lot of supplies on us."
Lu Xuan remained silent.
The other villagers also knew what was important and quickly picked up some daily necessities to leave behind.
As for what to carry these things, Lu Xuan bought a batch of backpacks from the mall that were inexpensive, sturdy, durable, and had a large capacity, and collected some supplies in exchange for them.
This large bag, which can hold more than a mountaineering bag and is also waterproof, has been loved by everyone since it was taken out.
Barrage:
[There's a flaw! Your clothes are so well-dressed, but there's such a big flaw!]
[More than that! Look at how well the villagers eat. Ten out of ten people can tell they haven't suffered a single hardship!]
[But there's no way to hide it. We can't ask them to lose weight first, right? Funny jpg.]
Lu Xuan said calmly, "I just carried a bag as a token of my appreciation. Even if I get caught, it's not right..."
He said bluntly, "What can those outsiders do to me?"
Audience: !!! That’s right!
It’s good enough that the anchor doesn’t mess with others, is he afraid of being messed with?
[Tsk tsk, it turns out that people with strength are fearless.]
[At least he was willing to let the villagers disguise themselves, however crudely.]
[I worry about it sincerely, and I feel like a clown:)]
After packing all the luggage, Lu Xuan waved his hand and released three two-carriage floating buses that he had bought in advance, as well as a luxury floating RV that he had purchased unexpectedly, on the open space.
Three buses are prepared for the villagers, two for people and one for a large number of poultry and livestock.
Needless to say, the luxurious floating RV is for Lu Xuan's personal use.
The only people who knew about the existence of the floating bus were the Lu family, the few people who helped transport the cattle and sheep last time, and Li Tie, whom Lu Xuan took the initiative to inform.
When several huge machines were taken out at this time, the villagers were shocked instantly.
