Chapter 038 Chapter 38
Ji Yang, who happened to witness this scene, felt less angry.
She was willing to follow the rules at the base, but if these people didn't get enough retribution, she didn't mind dealing with it in her own way.
Ji Yang did not embarrass the innocent and said to Lin Zhong, "No need. I don't live in the base. I will find someone to repair the car myself. If you investigate and find out everything is true, the Zhong brothers will have to pay compensation. I have points, so please just deposit the money directly into my points card."
Lin Zhong was a little surprised, but when he thought of Ji Yang's ability, he felt it was natural. Not everyone thinks that the base is good. Some powerful people directly build private bases.
Although he didn't quite understand why he wanted to establish a private base?
Natural disasters are not the zombie hordes in novels. With supplies becoming increasingly scarce, even the official bases are not sure they can withstand it.
He sighed in his heart, and then said: "Okay, but this matter is indeed our fault. If there is a serious problem with the car, you can come directly to the official public security bureau to find me."
Ji Yang nodded and agreed.
Lin Zhong was very busy, so he didn't stay long. But Feng Yexing didn't leave immediately. After saying something to Lin Zhong, he ran to Ji Yang and said, "Ji Yang, my brother can repair cars. Can I ask him to come over and take a look? Otherwise, how are you going to get back if you don't live at the base?"
Ji Yang was also thinking about this matter and was preparing to ask Luo Laosan for help in hiring a car mechanic.
Since Feng Yexing asked, she didn't hesitate: "Okay, thank you for your help."
"It's no trouble, no trouble." Feng Yexing shook her head quickly, quite happy that she could finally help her. She ran quickly to find Yan Cheng.
They were probably not far away, and Yan Cheng arrived in less than ten minutes.
Seeing Ji Yang, the stern cool guy smiled: "Long time no see."
Ji Yang also greeted him.
Yan Cheng immediately went over to check the car. He looked quite professional. He tried to start the engine first, then tested it again and again. He quickly removed a lot of things. After checking, he said seriously, "It's a bit troublesome. The engine is broken, and the brake pads have been tampered with. If we want to repair it, we have to wait until tomorrow."
Feng Yexing was a little worried when he heard this: "Ah? So long? Are your skills not good enough?"
Yan Cheng's face darkened: "No, it's because of the conditions."
Feng Yexing was disappointed.
Ji Yang asked: "Is there something missing?"
Yan Cheng nodded and told everyone what was missing. It was confusing, but Ji Yang still understood a little. After all, in her previous life, she had learned some skills in order to go out, but she was not proficient in them.
However, she thought of Luo Laosan and his group of traders, and it would be most convenient to go to them if she needed anything.
She said, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll go find a dealer to ask."
Yan Cheng opened his mouth to say something. In fact, he was also planning to find a profiteer, but after all the trouble, it was getting late. It was time for dinner, and there wouldn't be many people on the street after that, so the profiteers wouldn't come out.
That’s why I said it can be done tomorrow.
But Ji Yang was too fast. He turned around and left after he finished speaking, so he couldn't finish his words.
Feng Yexing slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot. Ji Yang is quite familiar with Boss Xie. He probably knows the people under him."
Yan Cheng's face was tense, his cold eyes darkened, and he said nothing.
Ji Yang went directly to the villa area. When she arrived at the gate of the community, she went to the security guard to ask them to help call someone. However, as soon as she arrived, she saw the guard looked at her and then opened the small door for people to pass through.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally got in by herself.
All the way to the villa, before entering, I heard the group of traders shouting and chatting, showing off how many good things they received today. Ji Yang knocked on the door, and the noise in the yard immediately stopped.
Then someone came over and asked, "Who is it?"
At the same time he opened the door.
When he saw Ji Yang, a smile instantly appeared on his face: "Miss Ji, why are you here at this time?"
"Yes, something delayed me." Ji Yang said. Before he could go in, Luo Laosan ran out: "Hey, Miss Ji? You haven't gone home yet? Is there something wrong?"
Ji Yang repeated his purpose.
Luo Laosan yelled, "Hey, why don't you just come to me? Why bother others? We have those things here, and if we don't have them, we can exchange them for you. By the way, it's so late, it's not safe to go back, why don't you just stay here?"
In the past, dinner time was too early.
But things are different now.
Ji Yang hurriedly shook his head: "No, if it can be repaired, it will be more convenient for me to go back directly."
Luo Laosan lamented, "I originally wanted you to stay here, so you can take a look at the second floor—" He got stuck in the middle of his speech and shut up again, saying with a smile, "Okay, then I'll ask two mechanics to bring the things over."
Ji Yang looked at him suspiciously, then looked at the second floor.
There are three rooms on the second floor of the villa. One is where Xie Muchi lives, one is a training room, and there is another one that she has never been to. Xie Muchi did not open it to show her. Is there any secret hidden in it?
It's still about her.
She didn't think that Luo Laosan had let the secret slip. Those who could be profiteers were all smart, and it seemed that she couldn't be one, so she must have revealed it intentionally.
But after all, this was someone else's house, so Ji Yang didn't delve into it. He took a look and then looked away.
Curious Luo Lao San, who was still thinking about waiting for her, smacked his lips regretfully and went to find someone to get tools. Ji Yang reminded him, "I'm out of oil too. Bring some oil. The cost will be included in the medicine."
"Look at what you said, who are we? That's too polite!" Luo Laosan grumbled in pretended displeasure and quickly picked up his things.
Keep accounts?
If I record this little bit of stuff, the boss will hit me on the head when he sees the account book when he comes back!
——
Once you have the stuff, you can get it done quickly.
Less than thirty minutes later, when Ji Yang lit the fire again, he felt that the feel was no different from before.
Luo Laosan didn't say hello, fearing to waste her time. He just said hello and left. Ji Yang wanted to thank Feng Yexing and his sister, but they refused. Feng Yexing looked at the darkening sky and was a little worried: "Try to drive faster. There are too many dangers on this road. My brother and I were planning to go back after the mission. We also used the mission points to follow a caravan, but we were robbed three times on the way! The third time we couldn't bear it anymore, and the caravan changed its route, so we had to come back."
Speaking of this, Feng Yexing shed tears of bitterness.
But it’s not good to complain too much. In fact, two brothers died in the third time, and the person in charge was completely scared, so he quickly changed the route to a familiar and well-planned route.
This way I won’t have to pass by their homes.
Only by staying alive can they have the chance to reunite with their families. They did not act on impulse and insisted on going back. They ran back after discussing it.
They performed well in the last mission and were considered to have been appointed by the authorities. When they came back this time, the authorities were recruiting more security guards. They saw the recruitment notice at the gate of the base when they came back. After signing up, they were directly accepted. It was a blessing in disguise as they now have stable jobs.
Ji Yang nodded, accepted the kind reminder, said goodbye to the two of them, and left the parking lot. At this point, the streets outside the base were much less crowded than before, so the motorcycle could be driven directly.
But it's not fast.
As soon as she left the base, Ji Yang immediately felt many covetous eyes looking at her. She silently stepped on the accelerator and increased her speed, thinking that she could easily shake off those eyes.
But after driving for about ten minutes, there was still a group of people following us.
She looked back through the rearview mirror, but unfortunately the distance was not close enough and she could only see some blurry figures. But she was sure that they also had a car, but she didn't know where it came from.
Since I can't run away.
Ji Yang simply stopped running. When she reached a corner, she stopped and waited, taking advantage of the tall buildings to block her view.
The group of people behind her noticed that she had disappeared and thought she had hidden herself, so they immediately sped up to catch up with her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they turned the corner, they saw the person they had been chasing sitting on a motorcycle and looking at them.
Several people were stunned, and then one of them grinned wildly: "Are you accepting your fate because you know you can't escape?"
Ji Yang also laughed, and the next second he had a grenade in his hand and threw it directly at the feet of the group of people.
A few people hadn't reacted yet, probably because they had never seen this guy in Changnan City. They looked in the direction of the noise with a blank look, and when they got closer they saw it clearly: "What the hell? A grenade!"
"Fuck! How did she get this thing?!"
"Bang!" As everyone jumped in panic, the explosion came as expected.
But there were also people who reacted quickly. They quickly ran back and lay on the ground. Although their bodies were shaking from the explosion, at least there was no blood or flesh flying everywhere. Then he took out his pistol and pointed it at Ji Yang.
Ji Yang didn't expect that they had this thing. No wonder this group of people chose to take action after dark.
In broad daylight, if someone discovered this and reported it to the authorities, they would definitely conduct a strict investigation on this group of people.
Of course Ji Yang did not relax either. She had been observing this group of people since she made her move, so she noticed the man's movement at the first moment and quickly dodged to the side. However, she was untrained and was dizzy from the explosion, so her shooting was not accurate and her shot hit the wall.
The man wasn't surprised when his attack missed, but he continued to attack.
But at this moment, Ji Yang's counterattack also came quickly.
The same gun, but faster and more accurate than theirs, instantly penetrated the man's head.
"Bang!" The sounds were all small.
The man was shot in the head and died.
The remaining few who were still struggling were stunned, staring at the thing in her hand in amazement: "How did you get this thing?!"
After saying that, the man was stunned, and then he regretted it very much. This person still has a grenade!
They could have chosen anyone else to attack, but they chose her. They really hit a wall!
It's over now.
Ji Yang did not answer, but shot them one by one, sending them to hell.
After making sure that everyone was dead, she picked up the gun on the ground and searched the bodies of these people. She found three guns in total. She frowned. The authorities have been controlling these things. It's not that they don't want ordinary people to protect themselves, but it's not certain whether ordinary people can protect themselves if the guns are in their hands.
There is a greater chance that it will fall into the wrong hands.
Therefore, in the previous life, the authorities had openly never let go of guns. However, because there were many dangers in carrying out the missions, the missions issued by the authorities would be equipped with guns. Over time, there was still a black market for trading guns.
But definitely not this early.
And there were three guns at once.
There is a loophole in the official management, and someone smuggled this thing out and sold it?
Or have the guns from Yun City already flowed here?
Thinking of the two brothers of the Zhong family whom she met this afternoon, she sighed. Most of the official power was used to figure out how to fight natural disasters, and immediately someone took advantage of their lack of attention to seek personal gain for themselves, without caring about the lives of ordinary people.
Ji Yang searched them again and found a dozen bullets. He put them all, along with the three guns, in a plastic bag and rode his motorcycle back home.
——
Early March 2061.
The temperature has reached minus ten degrees.
This is the current temperature in the air. The temperature underground is much higher than that on the ground. Officials have detected that the ice and snow at the bottom seem to have begun to melt, so they have accelerated the process of stockpiling ice.
When Luo Laosan came to see Ji Yang, he also brought her this news.
Even if she didn't need anything, Luo Laosan would still come over regularly, and every time he would bring some small gadgets he had received as gifts. He knew it was Xie Muchi's order, and he had to follow the orders.
Ji Yang was still very interested in the news he brought, and she didn't reject it. When she heard the news, she couldn't hold back.
Since the bottom has started to melt, it means the heat is coming up.
Then she could also stock up on some ice, and besides that, see if she could get any fish or shrimp.
But you have to wait until the people leave.
Ji Yang called Luo Laosan and, in addition to giving him some fruit as usual, handed him the three guns and bullets he had received earlier.
Luo Laosan was stunned: "Give it to me?!"
Ji Yang smiled: "What do you think?"
Luo Laosan pretended to sigh in loss.
Ji Yang explained the origin of this thing, and then said: "You decide whether to wait for Xie Muchi to come back and get it, or find a way to hand it over yourself. Of course, you can keep one."
Luo Laosan looked solemn: "I understand."
It was too late to wait for Xie Muchi to come back. He had heard some rumors during their trip that they were going to help the Hai City official base get some ships, and also get some small boats for them.
I heard that the flood will last at least five or six months, and we can't stay at home during this period.
However, Changnan City is not near the sea and there are not many sea transportation vehicles. The things collected during this period are far from enough for so many survivors. Anyway, all the miscellaneous things are related to ships. Therefore, if Xie Muchi wants to come back, he must at least wait until the ice melts.
Ji Yang didn't ask any more questions. After Luo Laosan left, she took Xixi with her and went directly to a rural reservoir in the opposite direction of the base.
This is a small reservoir. Ji Yang found out about it when he went to collect vegetables during the stockpiling period. It is located in a remote area, but the water quality is very good.
She didn't go before because she thought that with such low temperatures and freezing rain, how thick would the ice on the reservoir be? Even if she carried an electric saw, she would complain that the teeth were not long enough.
Now is the right time.
There was no one living here anymore, and Ji Yang reached the reservoir smoothly.
Maybe because it is far away from the city, the ice here is particularly clean and looks quite beautiful at first glance. The reservoir is also covered with ice at this time. Ji Yang stopped his motorcycle and was reluctant to step on it for a while.
It would be great if we could preserve all this clean ice.
She felt regretful for a moment, but finally stepped on it. Xixi had already jumped down, but she was strictly forbidden by her to go around the reservoir. But she seemed to have worried too much. Even after so long, Xixi still could not adapt to the tragedy of slipping on the ice. She fell twice every three steps, but continued to struggle angrily.
Ji Yang looked for a while and walked to the edge of the reservoir.
The reservoir area has risen significantly due to freezing rain, but it is still lower than the surrounding area.
She could step directly on it, and after jumping a few times to confirm that the thickness of the ice was okay, Ji Yang took out a chainsaw and started cutting the ice.
The huge noise scared Xixi, and when she saw it was her master, she continued to struggle on the ice.
Ji Yang watched the ice foam flying around and tried hard to cut it. However, even at this temperature, the teeth of the saw were still not long enough to reach the bottom. She could only search in the space, find the largest chainsaw, and cut it again.
This time, a whole block of ice was successfully separated.
She reached out her hand and the ice cube disappeared.
Instead, there was a cylinder that looked like a small wellhead, with a pool of clear water underneath.
At first glance, there were no fish to be seen.
Ji Yang was a little disappointed, but continued cutting.
Now that we have a cut and know where the bottom is, it is much more convenient. Then the cutting speed increases dramatically, and we can basically cut out a large block of ice in fifteen minutes.
Two hours later, half of the ice surface had disappeared, and the small amount of water that was exposed was also creating waves with the movement of the environment below.
Ji Yang sat down to rest, and then he discovered that there were fish swimming under the water surface!
Crying to death.
There are actually live fish.
Ji Yang couldn't help but admire their vitality, but she decided to go to her pond!
She didn't even rest, but excitedly took out the fishing net to catch fish.
She put the fish food she had prepared in advance in it, and then put the fishing net down. She didn't need to worry about it anymore. She continued cutting, trying to make more space for the net.
After about ten minutes, I tried to lift the first fishing net.
Just when he had taken out half of it, he felt his hands were heavy. Ji Yang took a deep breath, pulled up the fishing net in one go, and saw half a bag of fish in it!
How could he survive so many?
Ji Yang untied the net bag and took a closer look. There were several kinds of fish, including the common carp and crucian carp, but they were all very small. That was normal. They hadn't had anything to eat for so long, so they were lucky to be alive.
In addition to fish, there are some river shrimps, but no crayfish or crabs.
The temperature in reservoirs is generally low, and crayfish are afraid of the cold.
But it was hearty enough.
She carefully transferred all of them into a bucket, which had already been half filled with pond water. At that temperature, the fish wouldn't freeze immediately. After transferring all of them out, she threw the bucket with the fish into the pond.
With a few plops, the bucket was empty.
Instead, there is a pond with living things at last!
Ji Yang used his consciousness to check and saw that the group of little guys suddenly entered the water. Unable to adapt, they fell straight down one by one, but soon realized that this was a very comfortable area of water. They immediately swam around in it, wagging their tails and scattering.
In an instant... it disappeared.
A pond of 7,000 square meters with so few fish and shrimps is not enough.
Worried that they would be hungry, Ji Yang quickly put some fish food in the water, and then continued to lower the net, cut ice cubes, and scoop up the net. After a few times, the number of fish and shrimps decreased rapidly.
By the fifth time, only two small fish and one turtle were left.
Thinking that it was almost done and most of the ice in the reservoir had been cut, Ji Yang did not continue. He took Xixi, who was lying on the ice to rest due to tiredness, back home with a satisfied heart.
——
When he returned home that day, Ji Yang was reluctant to take a rest.
She had just gotten so many live fish and shrimps, and she was afraid that she would kill them. You know, she had never raised anything alive since she was a child, and she had killed several of the fish that her grandfather liked to raise.
Xixi was the only living thing she could raise well.
But dogs are easy to raise.
Therefore, she deliberately searched through the pile of information for a long time, read all the information about fish and shrimp farming, and then found that the environment of her pond was quite good.
The pond is very large, and the bottom is the muddy and sandy bottom that is common in real ponds. It is relatively clean and there are no living creatures in it.
The water quality is also very clear, but there is a lack of things like aquatic plants.
It may be a little uncomfortable for them to eat this, but she can supplement it with external fish food to make up for it. Anyway, the fish food she makes is edible by these freshwater fish and shrimp.
The next day, Ji Yang went out again to stock up on ice, fish and shrimp.
However, the harvest was actually less than that of the small reservoir we visited on the first day. Perhaps a lot of them had been caught before the water surface froze, and in the cold environment, fish and shrimp stopped breeding.
For three consecutive days, a lot of ice was stored, but not many fish and shrimps. Ji Yang did not go out again, but began to concentrate on making fish food.
It is impossible for her to cook every day. She likes to stockpile many things and use them when needed. It is too dangerous to cram at the last minute.
At this time, the 7,000 square meter pond still seemed a bit empty even with hundreds of fish and shrimps in it. Ji Yang didn't know where to throw the fish food after he prepared it. In the end, he just scattered it in like scattering seeds.
Soon, the fish and shrimp noticed the food coming and swam to the surface of the water to grab the food.
It's full of energy and seems even more vibrant than yesterday at the reservoir.
As a breeder, Ji Yang is very pleased.
Having received positive returns, she wanted to get more fish and shrimp, but the remaining reservoirs she knew about were relatively large, and the authorities wanted to stockpile ice for the arrival of extreme heat, which must be one of the goals, so she gave up.
In the next few days, she was busy at home. In addition to making fish food, there was also a batch of medicinal herbs in the planting area that needed to be harvested and processed. She was so busy that she was dizzy. Outside, she was also busy because the temperature was rising step by step.
Once the temperature reached minus ten degrees, the rate of rise seemed to be much faster.
In just a few days, it reached above zero.
Everyone took off their heavy coats and put on light clothes, feeling relaxed.
The sun appeared for longer and longer periods of time, and when the temperature reached more than ten degrees Celsius, it was no different from the situation before the apocalypse. Many families were able to use the solar panels they had obtained, and they were able to use electricity at will again. But before they had time to be happy, the ice melted on a large scale, and many reservoirs burst their banks, breaking through any obstacles and rushing madly towards places with a slightly lower geographical location.
This scene happened at night.
The loud rumbling sound was like thunder.
Xixi was awakened, and looked outside vigilantly with her tail between her legs. She thought she was attacked, and kept barking.
Ji Yang was also woken up. She looked out the window, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. There was no reflection from the ice or snow, and she couldn't see the moon at night. It was too dark.
Through the night, she seemed to still be able to feel the turbulent world outside.
When Ji Yang woke up the next day, he discovered that the flood had completely hit.
The originally crystal clear ice and snow ground turned into yellow-brown dirty water. The surging water was like a turbulent river, carrying countless unknown things through the city. Layers of waves hit the buildings. Some buildings that had been frozen for a long time and were of poor quality collapsed directly, and were soon washed away by the raging flood and nothing could be seen.
Occasionally there were voices calling for help, but it was impossible to tell where they were coming from, and they quickly disappeared.
The water level also rose rapidly, reaching the height of six or seven floors!
When he opened the window, Ji Yang immediately felt a breeze of dampness blowing towards him.
Along with it came a faint fishy smell in the air.
In just a second, she quickly closed the doors and windows again.
Although the virus has not yet become widespread and she won’t be infected by just breathing in a few breaths of air, the smell still makes her dream about her past life and she feels very repulsed.
The window was closed and Ji Yang had no appetite for breakfast.
Staring silently at the messy world outside, it was quiet for a long time. Xixi wondered what was wrong with her. She kept sticking out her tongue because of the increasingly hot temperature, and ran over to rub against her and made a humming sound. Last night, the child thought someone was attacking her and was frightened for a long time. But today, she knew they were safe, and Xixi regained her former liveliness, but it was a little hot and she wasn't used to it.
That’s great.
Ji Yang rubbed its furry head and sneezed several times the next second. He stretched out his hand and saw that it was full of hair that had fallen from Xixi's body, most of which were fine hairs.
It’s terrible!
She didn't care about anything else now and immediately carried Xixi to the space.
Shave, shave!
Xixi: Huh?!
