Chapter 041 Chapter 41
What happens near the sea is a tsunami, and what happens in inland areas is naturally a tornado.
Ji Yang mentioned in the email that the officials of Changnan Base would definitely take precautions in this regard. Xie Muchi might have heard about it, but compared with tornadoes and tsunamis, many people did not really take it seriously.
It seems to have little power.
Ji Yang had never experienced one even in his life, but after his rebirth, when he searched for other possible natural disasters, he also saw a tornado. However, compared to the one in his memory, the one in peacetime could only be said to be just born.
Tornadoes caused by natural disasters are extremely destructive.
In his previous life, Ji Yang was unable to leave the base due to heavy rain. He hid in the base and watched it sweep away the tallest building in the base.
Yes.
A building.
This was just one tornado heading that way. Later, according to official statistics, there were three tornadoes heading in different directions in the entire Changnan City, not to mention other cities!
After the tornado, several buildings collapsed in Changnan City. Fortunately, most residential buildings were not swept away.
Maybe the building is too tall. In the previous life, the tallest building in the base was also swept away.
After his rebirth, Ji Yang chose Jiafu Community for this reason. It is tall but not the tallest. The height of sixteen or seventeen floors is far less than that of more than thirty-plus residential buildings, but it is not too low to be directly submerged by floods.
Xixi also seemed to sense the terrifying atmosphere outside. She nervously jumped onto the sofa and threw herself into Ji Yang's arms.
Ji Yang gently soothed its trembling body, staring outside without blinking. So this is how a tornado is formed? It seems to be bigger than in the previous life?
I don't know if it's because of the distance or psychological effects.
Ji Yang always felt that this tornado was more terrifying than the one in his previous life. The dark sky, lightning and thunder seemed as if the sky was torn into pieces, but not tightly connected. It seemed as if they were colliding, and the lightning produced was even more terrifying.
And in this terrifying and depressing atmosphere, a grayish-white color gradually became thicker...
I witnessed it grow little by little with my own eyes. In just a short period of time, the middle part was already thicker than the building next to it.
There happened to be a building next to it. At this moment, due to the terrifying suction of the tornado, the surrounding accumulated water also rotated along with it, forming a yellow-brown inverted cone. The glass, walls and other things on the building that were originally intact were all sucked into it.
Even so, the tornado is still growing.
It grew until it could wrap around the entire building, and then it really swallowed up the building, hovering there for a long, long time. When it moved away, among the various buildings that were originally standing, one building was missing!
Xie Muchi felt the slender hand he was holding tighten.
His finger bones were squeezed a little.
He sat a little closer, and Xixi noticed it and bared its teeth at him. Xie Muchi threw a piece of meat into its mouth. Xixi was stunned and hesitated. Xie Muchi had already reached out and tentatively hugged Ji Yang into his arms, whispering: "Don't look at it, it's quite scary."
Ji Yang pushed away his hand that was blocking his view and shook his head: "We have to watch it, just in case it comes over."
Xie Muzhi no longer blocked her view, but just put his arms around her waist from behind, with a bit of strength, and his voice was indeed laughing: "If it really comes, this house can't stop it, then we will die together."
Ji Yang glanced at him, feeling a little uncomfortable, but being hugged from behind, she still felt safe. She leaned back and continued to look out the window.
She couldn't bear to die like this.
The two men and the dog snuggled together like this until the tornado swallowed up the building, moving slowly and wantonly, destroying this place and smashing that place from time to time, and finally it really came towards them.
Xie Muzhi suddenly buried his face in her neck, sniffing the faint fragrance at the tip of his nose, and said in a muffled voice: "Are you really going to die together?"
The voice sounded like it was still laughing, but there wasn't much fear or terror in it.
Ji Yang suddenly laughed and touched his head with his left hand: "Don't worry, you won't die. My doors and windows have also been modified."
"Ah?" Xie Muchi still seemed a little regretful.
Ji Yang turned his head away in annoyance: "Do you really want to die? I don't."
Xie Muzhi laughed: "Just teasing you."
As he said this, he suddenly said in a serious tone: "Don't worry, we will be fine!"
Ji Yang's neck felt itchy from the laughter, so he leaned to the other side. Xie Muchi immediately calmed down. During this short period of laughter, Ji Yang looked outside again and found another tornado.
But in the other direction, the distance is not that close.
If there are some at the base as well, then there will still be three.
I just hope that there won’t be a tragic tornado collision, otherwise this building will definitely not be able to hold up.
——
The weather was dark and terrifying, with a few bright lights occasionally shining through the gaps in the clouds, making it so depressing that it seemed as if the sky would collapse at any time.
The room fell inexplicably quiet.
No one spoke for a while, and everyone looked outside silently.
The tornado was getting closer and closer, and they could hear the whistling wind coming from all directions, like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
And the sound grew louder and louder.
Finally, it seemed that some windows on the building could no longer hold on. They shattered with a "crack", fluttered in the air with the wind, and then slowly fell down.
This seemed to be a signal. One after another, things around them broke into pieces or were blown away by the huge force of the wind with a loud bang, and finally broke away from the building and flew into the air.
Initially these will fall into the water.
But as the tornado approached, they were sucked away directly and became part of the tornado. When it approached the next building, it slapped it madly, causing 10,000 points of damage to the building.
Ji Yang's building is located in the center of the community, with buildings blocking its front and back except for the left. Fortunately, the tornado approached from the front right, so when it completely entered the community, the first building to suffer was not theirs, but the three or four buildings in front of it.
Although at this moment, countless objects had been thrown at it and landed on the modified glass, fortunately the glass did not move at all.
The tornado slowly devoured three or four buildings. As it approached, a huge sense of oppression came over us, as if the end of the world was just around the corner.
To be honest, at the beginning Ji Yang really thought that the quality of the residential buildings in the community was quite good and that they would have no problem dealing with a tornado.
But at this moment, she wasn't sure.
At such a close distance, even if the tornado swallowed up buildings three and four, she could still see the outlines of these two buildings. Therefore, she found that these two buildings seemed to be unable to hold on and were actually shaking!
Help!
Is it true that this is only the second natural disaster and I have to use space to save my life?
She glanced at the man who was still holding her, and began to wonder whether to knock him out or just ignore him.
Even though it seemed a bit cruel, she could do it if it was a stranger, but not Xie Muzhi.
Ji Yang began to search the space for the anesthetic she had purchased abroad before. At the same time, she grabbed the back of Xixi's neck with her other hand and looked out the window without blinking.
If buildings three and four can't hold out, her nine buildings will certainly not be able to hold out once they face the tornado.
When the house starts shaking, give Xie Muzhi anesthesia!
The anesthetic takes effect in just a few seconds, so it's completely in time. Building three and four have been holding out for several minutes now.
At this time, Ji Yang sighed that the dog who couldn't speak or communicate was still safer. If Xie Muchi was like this, why would she think so much?
At the critical moment, she couldn't control her wild thoughts, and even thought about how sad it would be if she didn't have time to enter the space and destroyed so many supplies in the space.
Then the tornado seemed to move away slowly.
The shaking amplitude of the third and fourth buildings is also decreasing.
Soon, Ji Yang also felt the instability.
As the tornado approached, countless building fragments came crashing down, hitting the walls and windows with a crackling sound. Some windows were shattered directly, but everything in Ji Yang's house was intact.
Until the whole building was shaking slowly and was shaken from time to time by the attack, but it showed no signs of collapse.
The third and fourth buildings were also gradually and completely released by the tornado.
Only a few fragments were left, breaking the windows and destroying part of the wall, but the rest was still intact.
like……
Can you make it through?
Ji Yang's heart was pounding. The scene at this moment was really too exciting.
She felt like she was hovering on the brink of life and death, but seemed about to be pulled back. She dared not move, fearing that if she misjudged something would happen to the house.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the shaking amplitude decreased!
She looked the other way.
The open kitchen door allows you to see the scene outside the window directly.
The tornado left!!!
Heading towards the building behind, only a little of the power was still blowing hard.
Fortunately, this building survived!
After surviving the disaster, Ji Yang smiled with relief. The feeling of being almost powerless in the face of this natural disaster was too terrifying. The breath-holding and concentration just now seemed to have used up all her strength. She leaned her body weight back completely.
Xie Muzhi also smiled, his voice a little hoarse: "It's safe..."
"Well, it's safe." Ji Yang affirmed his words.
As soon as I finished speaking, I met his burning gaze.
And a soft murmur: "Ji Yang, can I kiss you?"
Ji Yang was stunned, but she didn't refuse. The man's big hand had already touched the back of her neck. He lowered his head and held her bright lips, and a clumsy but passionate kiss fell on her lips.
It feels a bit strange...
But she didn't hate it.
After the catastrophe, she also wanted to vent the excitement in her chest. She loosened her hand that was holding Xixi's neck and instead hugged her neck, immersing herself in the ambiguous entanglement of lips and teeth, forgetting the thrill just now.
When Xixi, who was finally freed, looked up, she saw this scene and her eyes widened.
It was about to call.
A piece of delicious meat was stuffed into its mouth.
Oooooh!
He can actually create meat at any time!
Xixi was still in a daze, and the next second she used her big hands to pull it off the sofa.
Xixi really wanted to curse angrily, but the delicious taste in its mouth made it hesitate. It sniffed the air, tilted its head, as if it understood something, and took the meat back to its nest to eat slowly.
At this time, the sound of rain falling outside the window again covered up the howling of the strong wind.
*
After the kiss, the two leaned on each other to calm their pounding hearts.
Ji Yang glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already past four in the afternoon.
They had just finished lunch at noon when they discovered the tornado.
Three hours have already passed.
It turns out that the tornado lasted for so long.
Ji Yang closed his eyes tiredly. Staring at the tornado for so long made him nervous and exhausted. "I'm going to sleep for a while."
"Okay." Xie Muchi nodded and let her go.
Ji Yang got up and went back to his room.
Xixi had already finished eating the piece of meat and was playing with the small toy out of boredom. Suddenly, she looked up and found that her owner had returned to the room.
Um? ? ?
What's going on? Isn't it...
The second one is not working?!
Xixi dog showed a look of disgust on its face, glanced at Xie Muchi, and quickly followed its master.
——
In the next few days, there were still occasional heavy rains, but the water level rose much slower than before. On the seventh day, a tornado appeared again.
But this tornado was less than half the size of the first one.
The power is still very large, but for people who do not go out, the impact is relatively small. Looking at the places where the tornado swept through, most of them were deserted areas. Only a few unlucky people happened to be at the windows and were swept away by the tornado through the broken windows.
On the tenth day of the heavy rain, the rain finally began to subside. It did not get heavier all day. Ji Yang looked through the telescope for a while and found that there were living creatures under the water!
There were not many of them, and the raindrops left ripples on the water surface. It took a while to notice any different movement.
But it was surprising enough.
What other living creatures could appear at this time, besides fish?
Even such cold weather could not kill all the fish and shrimps. Now that the floods have broken through the dams and the tornado is around, they will naturally scatter around from their living places.
The fish is still clean at this time.
After a while, the stagnant water became extremely smelly, and a large number of fish that had high requirements for water resources died. The only ones left were some relatively dirty fish and shrimps, many of which survived by eating rotten corpses.
Piranhas appeared, and because there were so many corpses of humans, animals, fish and shrimps, they reproduced rapidly and occupied the water areas in the last two months of the flood, until the extreme heat came and the water evaporated, and they died. At the same time, ordinary fish and shrimps also completely disappeared.
During this period, countless survivors died at the hands of piranhas.
On the twelfth day, there was only a drizzle. With the previous experience as a lesson, and the fact that the two of them were now in the honeymoon period?
Xie Muchi was reluctant to leave immediately, so he waited for another day. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the rain stopped.
A ray of sunshine finally appeared in the sky which had been gloomy for a long time.
It made the already sultry weather even hotter.
But it is an existence that makes countless people happy.
Xie Muchi finally packed up and left reluctantly.
At this time, the water level had reached the middle of the ninth floor. Ji Yang went to see him off and found that all the windows in the corridor on the ninth floor were flooded. If he wanted to go down, he could only jump from the tenth floor.
Ji Yang reminded: "Be careful, the water is very dirty."
"I know." Xie Muzhi nodded, put down the speedboat, then looked up at her, leaned over and kissed her lips: "Wait for me for two days, take care of things over there, and come over when you have time."
Ji Yang shook his head and frowned, "The weather is unpredictable now, so it's better to reduce the number of times you go out."
Xie Muchi was a little annoyed. He bit her lower lip lightly, without saying whether he wanted to listen or not. He stood up, estimated the distance, supported himself with his hands on the window sill and fell down. He stood steadily, then started the engine.
Ji Yang helped to take his bag and the things that Ji Yang didn't want, such as shrimp head powder, fish head powder, eggshell powder, and some quail eggs and hen eggs.
It's not good to always give her eggs, she can 'collect' something else occasionally.
The speedboat is not big, and these take up almost half of the space.
Xie Muchi looked at it and felt as if his heart was full, but he had to leave. He said something to Ji Yang, waved his hand, and the speedboat slowly sailed away.
Ji Yang watched him go away. When he was no longer visible, she called Xixi, "Let's go back!"
"Awoo!" Xixi responded obediently and looked at the figure walking away with anticipation. What kind of delicious meat could she get after hunting?
Both the man and the dog were very happy.
What made Ji Yang happy was: I am finally alone!
Although living with Xie Muchi was actually quite happy. She could play with him when she was bored, and she didn't have to worry about food and drink. But she was used to living alone, so she was a little uncomfortable with it. Now she felt at ease!
She quickly walked to the storage room and threw the bag of jade that Xie Muchi brought into the space. Although she was reluctant, she had nowhere else to put it. Once she put it in the space, no matter where it was, it would disappear.
This time the jade was of very high quality. After it disappeared, the pond increased by two hundred square meters!
Unfortunately, there are not many fish and shrimps. Even if she feeds them diligently, the reproduction time of fish and shrimps cannot be shortened. Normally, many freshwater fish reproduce once a year. Shrimp are better. They can lay eggs every month if conditions are suitable, but now it is only more than a month at most.
Even if the eggs have been laid, they haven't hatched yet.
On the bright side, shrimps reproduce quickly, and many freshwater fish happen to include shrimps in their diets, so maybe there will really be a food chain in the future.
It just takes time.
She had known for a long time that space could only provide a suitable environment, allowing these animals and plants to grow more comfortably and thus speed up their growth a little bit, but it could not really shorten the time.
What is most lacking in the end times is time.
When the natural disaster began, species were dying every moment, including plants, animals, fish and shrimp.
There should be many kinds of fish and shrimp in the pond, but due to limited conditions, the only ones she could find were those still alive in the reservoir.
Ji Yang curled up on the sofa, holding a map in his hand and began to think. Now everything is flooded, the only difference is the water depth, so it is still very difficult to find so many kinds of fish by himself.
She was afraid of being exposed if she asked Luo Laosan and the others to look for her.
The purpose of ordering some live fish and shrimp is to eat them fresh, but it is a bit strange to order a portion of different species, as many fish and shrimp may not be suitable for consumption.
Maybe they had too much contact with her, and Xie Muchi would continue to have contact with her in the future, so Ji Yang subconsciously didn't want them to know these things. She felt guilty like a thief. Even if they knew, no normal person would think that she had a pond to raise fish and shrimp.
So she had to look for it in another city.
There are benefits to being in a relationship with Xie Muchi at this time. Through him, she knows a lot about the situations of several surrounding bases, including official bases and private bases.
The freshwater fish and shrimp she wanted could be found in the largest quantities in Hu City. It was named so because all the rivers, lakes and reservoirs passed through this place, and the freshwater resources were extremely abundant.
Moreover, the distance is very close, just near Changnan City, about 100 kilometers in a straight line, which is also the city where the Qiao family is located.
The address of the Hu City base is near the most famous lake in the original Hu City. The key is to live by the mountain and the water, and the location is easy to find.
She circled it on the map and compared the direction, which was probably northeast.
——
The next day, Ji Yang started packing up enthusiastically. As usual, he only left some things at home as a decoration and took away everything else, including the solar panels that had been installed only a few days ago.
Only strangers can break into the house, so it won't be easy for them.
After checking that everything was correct, Ji Yang took out the speedboat from the space, took Xixi with him, opened the door and went out.
Xixi was very happy to know that they were going out too. Dogs still like to play around everywhere. If they weren't naturally well-behaved, they would have destroyed the house countless times.
Ji Yang estimated that it would take a week to go back and forth this time, so he was afraid that Xie Muchi would come and find him empty-handed, so he took a detour for more than ten kilometers in the direction of the base and began to try to contact him using the walkie-talkie.
After waiting for a while, I received a response.
Ji Yang: "I have to go out for something. I won't be home for the next few days. You don't have to come over."
The man who was happy to think that he was missed immediately said, "Is it urgent? Why don't you wait for me for two days and then I can be free to go out with you. It's too dangerous outside now."
Ji Yang refused coldly: "No, it's not convenient."
Xie Muzhi: "...Then be careful."
He tried to steady his voice, but the sudden drop in tone still made people feel his loss.
Ji Yang's soft voice: "I will contact you as soon as I come back."
Xie Muzhi: "Okay!"
The communication ended, and Xie Muchi stared out the window. Nearby, survivors were hurrying to and fro, looking tired but energetic.
The accumulated water in the distance can still be seen clearly, and when you look far away, it seems as if the whole world has turned into a vast ocean.
The drainage system of the base is pretty good. Although it was unable to drain out in time due to the heavy rain at the beginning, fortunately, the water only accumulated to the calf level at most. As the rain subsided, it was quickly drained out. Now the ground has become dry again.
The base also experienced a tornado and suffered some damage, but fortunately, they had already moved everything that could be moved indoors in advance, and the only things left were some doors and windows.
When the tornado passed through the base with a lot of rocks, building fragments, and all kinds of miscellaneous items, damage was inevitable, but only a small number of windows were broken and some supplies were lost. Most people were lucky enough to hide in shelters and other places in advance and escaped this disaster.
Therefore, when the rain stopped, most people chose to go out to look for supplies.
Now that most of it has been flooded, there are few buildings left above water and even fewer supplies. But relatively speaking, due to floods, tornadoes and other weather conditions, there are suddenly more fish in the water!
Of course, this is mostly compared with the situation before the rainstorm.
In addition to sending people to catch fish, they also rent out various water vehicles and fishing tools to encourage survivors to go out fishing.
Fresh food is difficult to preserve when the air is filled with moisture, but it can be made into salted fish, grilled fish, etc., which can still be preserved for a long time. The survivors work hard all day, and if they are lucky, they can get several kilograms of fish. If they are unlucky, they can usually get a consolation prize, a few shrimps.
It's protein after all, so it's pretty good.
Xie Muchi had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and was still calculating the next stage's goals and the needs of the base. He had been busy since he came back yesterday, and only slept for three or four hours at night. He wanted to arrange things as soon as possible so that he could make time to go to Jiafu Community from time to time.
Finally, he received a call from the person he had been thinking about on the intercom. He responded happily, but then he happened to see Ji Yang was about to go out!
I feel very disappointed.
For a while, I almost lost motivation to work.
But fortunately, the last sentence cheered him up a little.
I wonder how long I will be out this time. Will it be ten days or one day? Xie Muzhi looked at the sky in the distance and began to think again. The weather is changeable and the danger is extremely high. Why must I go out now?
I just hope everything goes smoothly in the future.
Luo Laosan had just come back from a deal to pick up the goods when he saw a large basin of fish on the first floor. His eyes lit up and he looked towards the figure in the window: "Boss, show us your skills and make a fish feast. We haven't tasted your cooking skills for a long time!"
Xie Muzhi said nothing.
Luo Laosan: ...
He walked over suspiciously and saw that Xie Muchi was distracted, so he looked in the direction he was looking.
Oh, it turned out to be Miss Ji. Even though she was too far away to see anything, she was still staring at me.
Miss Ji is so awesome!
He sighed, this directly turned the big boss into a black carp!
