Chapter 054 Chapter 54
Even though Ji Yang knew this day would come, she was still shocked by the number of these things. However, despite being shocked, she walked faster and faster until she finally reached the fifteenth floor.
The higher you go, the less dirty stuff there is, and by here there are much less.
Everything that could be taken away from the building had been taken away. There were no corpses or anything like that. The corpses on the 17th floor had long been taken away by the body collection team. Due to the lack of food, these things naturally would not gather in large quantities.
This made Ji Yang feel a little relieved.
She didn't dare open the door immediately, but disinfected the entire corridor first.
It was quiet here, there was no one else around, and it was her own territory, so she could make a big move. Therefore, she took out her gas mask and the concentrated insecticide and disinfectant she had specially bought, mixed them together and started spraying!
The effect was remarkable, and everything fell down wherever it passed.
He quickly sprayed the aisle and the staircases on both sides, and after making sure the surroundings were temporarily clear, Ji Yang quickly took out the key to open the door and slipped into the house.
Then she immediately scanned the area in sight, and sure enough, there were still some cockroaches, but before she left, she collected all that could be collected, blocked all that could be blocked, and placed all kinds of mothballs, rat poison and the like in every corner of the house, so there were not many of these guys.
Ji Yang entered the space with confidence and cleaned himself up completely. He threw away all his clothes and shoes, disinfected them and threw them into the trash can before returning home.
Xixi definitely can’t come out for the time being.
She rolled up her sleeves and began to work. The first step was to put all the furniture into a static space, watching countless tiny bugs being bounced out and falling to the ground. She did not start the formal disinfection until the whole house was empty and only the small bugs and cockroaches were left on the ground.
Wherever the insecticide passed, there were swarms of bugs and cockroaches. Fortunately, no rats were seen. The sealing effect of this room was still good.
After the disinfection was completed, Ji Yang turned on all the air conditioners in the house, selected the ventilation option, and then slipped into the space to rest for a while.
About three hours later, she went out again. The smell of disinfectant in the air had faded a lot, and only dead insects were left on the ground.
Ji Yang took out a broom and cleaned up the obvious large pieces of garbage first.
Successfully cleared half of the trash can of bugs.
Fortunately, it’s much less than in Lake City.
Even though those channels connecting to the outside world are blocked, they are still very useful!
Ji Yang rubbed his sore waist, took out the sweeping robot, added some disinfectant into it, and let the sweeping robot take care of the rest.
She also returned to the space to have dinner.
The food had no taste to begin with, and she had even less appetite in the space. She just found a bun to fill her stomach, set the alarm for an hour, and closed her eyes to rest.
Ji Yang did not regret not moving to the base. She did not go to the base for the time being for two reasons. First, the power of a tornado was uncertain. In her previous life, a tornado directly swept away a building in the base. Even though she knew that the base had made sufficient preparations in this life, she still could not be sure. She believed in herself more. At least she had space. Living alone here, she had space to fall back on if something happened.
But I didn't expect Xie Muchi to come over at that time.
The second is that there are few snakes, insects, rats and ants in the base at present, but it does not mean that there have never been these things in the base.
You should know that the base did not appear out of thin air on the water surface. It is connected to the water surface by countless pillars, and there are also steps winding down into the water.
This is the time when these things are multiplying crazily, and there happen to be plenty of various rotten corpses and leftovers in the outside world, providing them with a stable food source, so there seem to be a lot of these guys here.
But these things have a short reproduction period. Based on her experience in her previous life and the numbers she just saw, she speculated that in a week at most, they would not have enough food because of their increased numbers.
What should I do then?
The natural thing is to turn the target to human gathering places.
By then, even if the base was thoroughly disinfected, it would not be able to stop these things from coming in like a wave. On the contrary, due to the lack of food outside the base, their presence would naturally decrease, just like the fewer rats and insects she saw the higher she went up the stairs.
It just so happens that there are many people in the base, and these things will rush over madly, causing all kinds of food to be damaged and epidemics to occur. Before the extreme heat, there will be several riots in the base.
These riots were mainly the final madness of people who were infected with epidemics and viruses and had no immediate cure. They had endured too much, and after their collapse, some of them, instigated by some people with ulterior motives, were thinking of taking revenge on society.
Why should they watch themselves die while others live well?
Considering the huge base, the number of this group of people is very scary.
In the previous life, Ji Yang did not reborn and did not know the future. The authorities were also groping forward and made many misunderstandings. In fact, there were far fewer survivors than there are now. However, at that time, the number of people rioting was very considerable.
The degree of terror is probably that - no matter how careful you are, a person who was just talking to you in a nice tone may suddenly bite you, scratch you with a knife, or throw dirty water at you.
Those living in wealthy areas are their top target.
It's completely impossible to guard against.
From then on, the base's last advantage was gone.
On the contrary, although there are more bugs here, they are easy to deal with.
Apart from this, moving is also a big deal. The character she created is a wealthy person with a lot of supplies, so she must make sufficient preparations for moving. She needs to take out at least a dozen speedboats and rubber boats for moving. She definitely can't do it alone. If she is not careful, things may fall into the water, or the boat may capsize, or she may be attacked by someone. However, asking too many people for help may easily cause problems.
She has a boat, but it is too big and it is too dangerous to take it out casually. Although there are few people outside the base, there are still some. Rubber boats and speedboats are small and inflatable. If she finds a place to hide them, they will not be conspicuous when taken out. If such a big thing as a boat suddenly appears and is noticed by someone, she will be finished.
Besides, at this time, moving into a new house also requires decoration. Currently, all villas are just bare houses with basic features, and they don’t have anything you need. If it is a large flat, it would be worse than her place. She doesn’t know how many neighbors she will bump into when going up and down.
So no matter how you compare it, it is more cost-effective to temporarily stay away from the base.
At the very least, when the extreme heat arrives, many viruses will not be able to withstand the high temperature and will disappear automatically, and the epidemic will seem to be cured without medicine. Extreme cases will be greatly reduced. In addition, with the terrible high temperature, the virus will die when it leaves the body, and safety will be greatly increased.
Otherwise, the base is still very dangerous. There are too many survivors there. Even if she is prepared, she can't be sure who will suddenly attack her.
If you are not careful, you will get caught.
Even if you can get a specific medicine, it will be very painful.
She only hoped that with her advance warning, the base could be prepared in this regard, but she also understood that human hearts were the most difficult to control. No matter how perfect the base was, it could not control human hearts, unless the base could produce enough special medicines now to cure everyone.
Estimating the time, Ji Yang flashed out.
The sweeping robot had gone to rest and the house was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant. She didn't let Xixi come out. She put out the furniture one by one and watched with her own eyes as the home became as warm as before. She smiled with satisfaction.
There is another small reason. She likes it here. Although it is less popular than before, it is here that she has spent the happiest and most relaxing days in these years.
There is a space and countless supplies, and nothing is missing.
That's right.
On the way back, she put two bags of jade into the space. This time the inventory directly filled the remaining 400 square meters of space, and the pond officially reached 10,000 square meters!
It sounds big, but it is actually a cube of 100 meters * 100 meters.
This was the result of Ji Yang's conscious detection. At the same time, she also discovered that there was a long plant in the shallow water area of the pond, which looked like lotus roots, and some others could not be identified.
They are too small and only grow for a few days.
The water plants in other places are also growing quite vigorously. She has been insisting on feeding the fish. Although it is a bit tiring, at present these water plants have not been eaten by fish and shrimp.
After a round of reproduction and half a month of growth, the shrimps in the pond have grown a lot, greatly filling the gaps in the pond.
The time had just come, and Ji Yang moved the pile of salted duck eggs in the living room to the static space to keep them at the best taste. The five bird eggs obtained from Jiang Jing and Li Yi had also been placed in the incubator.
She shone a flashlight on them and found that they were indeed alive. The weather was hot, so luckily the eggs did not lose temperature. She didn't know when they would hatch, so she had to keep an eye on them all the time.
Currently, the three spaces: static space, planting space, and freshwater pond are all at the maximum level. The three cubes are next to each other, and it looks like there is only one vacant space left.
This one vacancy probably requires countless times more jade than the pond needs.
Ji Yang wasn't really looking forward to it anymore.
After the base has wiped out the private base in Yun City, she will simply go to Nan Province to raid it secretly.
——
Due to the lack of popularity, Jiafu Community is a bit too quiet.
Ji Yang lived in the Hu City Base for a while and also lived in the Changnan Base for two days. When she returned to this little nest, there was no one around and no human voice at all, which made her feel a little lost.
The main thing is that compared to the previous life, the base in this life is obviously more well-built and managed, and it feels a bit like a residential building before a natural disaster. If it was the base in the previous life, it would be different.
She habitually sits on the balcony and observes the surroundings with a telescope.
The water level drops about fifty to sixty centimeters every day, and the temperature stabilizes at forty-five degrees and does not rise any further. It is a bit hot, but still bearable.
But piranhas have probably appeared on a large scale. Ji Yang discovered that more and more people were coming here to fish every day, and it was estimated that there wouldn't be a single normal fish to be found at the base.
But even so, the crowd was very scattered and basically no one came near this side. If she hadn't been holding a telescope, she wouldn't have been able to see it.
The survivors came around in the morning, found a place to rest at noon when the temperature was a little lower, fished for a while, and then hurried back.
After all this trouble, you can catch two or three more pounds of fish.
There are no big fish, as they died long ago or were all caught. Fish weighing three or four taels are considered good size.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and the water level dropped to the sixth floor. When Ji Yang was wondering whether to go for a walk around the base, the sky suddenly changed at around ten o'clock in the morning.
The nearest survivor was about two kilometers away from Ji Yang.
The man also realized something was wrong at the first moment and began to call his friends to find a hiding place. Soon they entered a house. One of the young men seemed to have got something good and was reluctant to leave. He was so anxious that his oars sparked and he rushed over to pull the man away.
The two men had just climbed up and were trying to pull the boat out when the sky fell completely dark.
The vision of a tornado coming again made it difficult for people to breathe, and strong winds followed. The howling of ghosts and wolves became louder and louder. The sky in the southernmost part was as dark as ink, as if it had been completely swallowed up, and it was still spreading towards them little by little.
About a few minutes later, bean-sized raindrops fell, hitting the windows and walls. In almost two breaths, visibility was reduced to invisible.
Ji Yang put down the telescope, looked at the rain that was almost like a waterfall, and began to recall the same situation in his previous life. How many days did it rain? He had no memory of it at all.
She always felt that this situation would not be resolved in a day or two.
After thinking for a while, an extremely thick bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the distant sky, briefly illuminating the terrifying sky. Ji Yang happened to be staring at that side, and seemed to vaguely see a streak of black like a piece of cloth, covering half of the sky.
Even lightning can't break it.
The rain was still getting heavier, and Ji Yang was too lazy to watch any further. It was raining so heavily that all he could see was rain, and nothing else.
She pulled the curtains and looked at the time. It was time to exercise, so she quickly changed into her sportswear and spread out the yoga mat.
Three hours later, Ji Yang lay down exhausted.
Xixi brought the towel over: "Woof!"
Ji Yang curved his eyes: "Thank you Xixi, Xixi is really the most amazing puppy!"
Xixi whined proudly and lay down next to her owner.
After resting for a while, Ji Yang went back into the space to take a shower. After she finished cleaning up, she came out to eat. It was already night, and the rain was still pouring like water pouring on the world.
It's over now.
The water level, which had just dropped, had to rise again.
The base can hold on!
Ji Yang was quite worried about this, but God was kind as it only rained and blew without causing any scary creatures, so she didn't hold out any hope.
——
Rainy days are the best time to sleep.
For the rest of the day, Ji Yang basically ate and slept. Worried that Xixi didn't get enough exercise, he sent it to the space to discipline the pigs, cows, and sheep, or to the rabbit hutch to catch rabbits.
Yes, she came up with a new way to trick Xixi.
Catch rabbits.
The stagnant water is seriously polluted. Unlike the ice surface, you can't go out at will. There are a bunch of snakes, insects, rats and ants outside, lurking around, and it's full of bacteria. Every time Xixi slaps a cockroach, she has to clean its claws, not to mention the rats and snakes.
Therefore, after Ji Yang discovered that the rabbit family had expanded again, when he was catching rabbits, he suddenly saw Xixi, so he threw it in and directed it to catch them.
Xixi lived up to its bloodline. As soon as Ji Yang gave an order, it responded immediately, running around in the huge rabbit hive, and only picking the fat ones. Once it bit a rabbit, it would bite it to death and then present it to Ji Yang as a treasure.
Ji Yang grilled it on the spot.
Skin the rabbit, apply a layer of oil on it, and slowly roast it on a charcoal pan. After it’s cooked, there’s no need to add any other seasonings, just give it directly to Xixi.
When Ji Yang threw it into the nest for the second time, the rabbit it was targeting was even fatter.
There is an aftereffect of doing this. Rabbits are timid, and such a big creature ran into their nest and acted wild, causing a lot of noise and scaring several half-grown rabbits to death, which made Ji Yang feel very distressed.
Haven't grown up yet.
But after doing it twice, the rabbit may have adapted, knowing that this big guy only catches one a day, and slowly got used to it.
After several attempts, we lost more than ten rabbits in total, and after that no rabbits would die.
However, Ji Yang was determined to give Xixi only one rabbit to eat each time.
In this way, it will not catch more rabbits for food, which will eventually lead to the extinction of rabbits.
Ji Yang was deeply impressed by his own cleverness, and Xixi wagged her tail happily because she could eat meat again. After enough exercise, she could eat again. This was a great trick.
She is also experimenting with the idea of using chickens to eat cockroaches and other bugs.
She had disinfected the entire house once, and there were very few cockroaches at the moment. She didn't know which gap they came from, but they were all very small. Ji Yang was usually very careful and basically put away things she needed, such as the sofa. She would take it out when she wanted to sit down and put it away when she stood up. It was not troublesome, but it made it impossible for cockroaches to hide.
The mosquitoes were still not completely eliminated, but she usually put a lot of ice cubes in the house and turned on the air conditioner to lower the temperature. The mosquitoes could not adapt to the temperature and not many of them were active.
So she only brought out two chickens, a male and a female, put the masks she had used before behind the buttocks of the two chickens, and let them wander around the house.
Cockroaches mostly appear on window sills and on the ground. At first, you probably don’t know what they are and just look at them curiously.
But as they watched, their instincts soon awakened. They flapped their wings and rushed over, pecking each one accurately and eating one in two or three bites. As if they had tasted the delicious food, the two chickens immediately became alert, and their small eyes as big as green beans quickly patrolled the house inside and out.
Even if the chickens were on the windowsill, they would still fly over and eat them. In just a few days, the two chickens seemed to be fat and strong.
At this time, Ji Yang was very glad that she had bought free-range chickens that could fly a little.
In addition to cockroaches, they also like mosquitoes flying in the air and some small poisonous insects in the corners. They accept all of them. Ji Yang releases them out every morning, noon and evening, and puts them back into the space when all the insects are almost eliminated.
It is better to build a temporary chicken coop in the area where fruit trees are grown so that if one chicken gets sick, it will not be transmitted to other chickens.
But what surprised her was that these two chickens were always energetic, and perhaps because they ate more insects, they looked stronger than the other chickens, and their fur was more beautiful?
After all this commotion, I came to my senses and realized that it had been raining heavily for eight days in a row.
The rain was particularly heavy in the first few days. It started to get a little lighter on the fourth day, but it got heavier again on the seventh day. On the eighth day, Ji Yang vaguely heard a sound like an earth-shaking movement.
Xixi was so scared that she rolled over and ran over with her tail between her legs, asking her to hug her.
Ji Yang held the fat dog in one hand and pulled the curtains with the other, trying to see what was happening outside.
It was just past five in the morning and the sky was dim. It seemed better than the previous few days. There was still rapid flow of water outside and it seemed that nothing was different.
Where is that noise coming from?
Unable to figure it out, Ji Yang decided not to think about it. He looked for a while, confirmed that everything was normal, and went back to bed.
When I woke up again, the rain had subsided and it was now a light rain. The water level had reached the eleventh floor!
This is the highest level of water accumulation so far.
Ji Yang thought of the group of people two kilometers away, and then looked at the weather. He decided to do a good deed. He took out a drone, tied a bag of bread on it, then controlled the drone to fly out from the balcony and closed the balcony door immediately.
It has rained these few days, so there are fewer reptiles outside, but we can't be careless.
Soon the drone staggered into the rain. The rain was not heavy and it actually remained stable. It seemed that the merchant did not lie to her and it was indeed waterproof.
Xixi was leaning on the balcony, looking at the flying creature curiously, her eyes full of shock. Why could this thing fly?
Ji Yang stared at the images sent back by the drone and controlled it to continue moving forward.
I moved forward to the residential area that the people entered that day and looked around. I didn’t see anyone and the windows were all closed. I don’t know if they were afraid to open the door, or... have they disappeared in the past few days?
Ji Yang decided to wait for three minutes.
If the window is not opened, she will go back.
As she was swaying up and down, one of the windows suddenly opened.
——
At this time, inside the house
Shi Xinyu was the first to notice the presence of a drone in the hazy drizzle.
Nowadays, the first thing to do when encountering unexpected things is to be alert, so he called up a few brothers who were still sleeping, hid behind the wall, and observed what was going on through the window at an angle.
I originally thought that this was either a toy made by some bored young man, or that this was the territory of a private base, and they thought that they had invaded their position and came here to show off their power.
Unexpectedly, one person pointed at something hanging on the drone and was shocked: "Brother Shi, is that bread hanging on it?! I just looked at it and it looks like a bread packaging bag!"
Shi Xinyou:?
He was extremely alert, and his first reaction was that it was impossible. But the drone just happened to descend, and he looked down. In the gap, he saw the shadow of a packaging bag, which was a very common type of small bread.
He was stunned, his mind spinning. On one hand, he felt it was incredible that someone would deliver food to his doorstep these days? On the other hand, he thought it seemed... understandable. Anyone who could still fly a drone at this time was definitely not an ordinary survivor. Naturally, he had the energy to do something good.
They came here to fish eight days ago and were accidentally trapped here. The little dry food they brought with them had long been eaten up, and the few small fish they caught had long been roasted and eaten. Even if they were very frugal, they would have finished them long ago. They haven't eaten anything for four days now, and have been relying on rain water to fill their stomachs.
In order to save energy, they all relied on sleeping and were already starving.
Shi Xinyu has seen too many horrible things over the past year. When humans are extremely hungry, they are no different from animals. They throw all the moral laws and ethics out the window and see everything as food.
Therefore, he always remained vigilant, fearing that he would fall asleep and never wake up again.
This is the only way to detect the presence of the drone at the first time.
Looking at the things hanging on it, he swallowed and almost rushed over without thinking, but he quickly came back to his senses: "Calm down first, it may not be a good thing..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a very hungry man opening the window directly: "Brother, I'm too hungry, no, I must eat something! Even if there is a trap, I will eat!"
After saying that, a drone came in through the window and stopped in mid-air.
The plastic bag hanging from it was right in front of them.
The man went forward and took it down tentatively.
The drone did not respond until the plastic bag was taken away. The drone suddenly became lighter and rose slightly, but soon returned to its original height, quickly changed direction, rushed into the air covered with drizzle, flew around the house twice, and disappeared from Shi Xinyu's eyes.
No more?
He actually came to deliver food?
When Shi Xinyou came back to his senses, two small pieces of bread had been stuffed into his hands. The young man who opened the window was wolfing them down while saying, "Brother, eat quickly!"
If Shi Xinyu hadn't come to pull him that day, if he had delayed for a moment, the heavy rain and strong wind might have left him in the water. That's why Shi Xinyu didn't grab the food at the first time, but he quickly helped grab two. The quantity was not much, but these little cakes were sweet and provided enough sugar, which would definitely help him get through this heavy rain.
Shi Xinyou's eyes were slightly sore and he tore the package with trembling hands. He had no strength and it took him several tries to tear it open. Suddenly, the smell of milky cakes filled his nose and he instinctively stuffed it into his mouth.
So sweet!
This is the first time I discovered that this bread is so delicious, but it’s a pity that I didn’t eat a few more bites during peacetime.
Shi Xinyu felt regretful, but as he ate, a smile appeared on his face.
Help at this time is truly precious.
*
Jiafu Community
Everything went smoothly, and there was no damage to the drone or other forms of ingratitude. Ji Yang smiled happily and carefully controlled the drone to make a big circle and return to his side.
She had plenty of supplies, and didn't mind giving some of them away, but only on the condition that she could hide them.
One-on-one help can easily lead to problems, so she had no intention of helping Jiang Jing at first. But when Xixi interrupted her, she felt compassion. Fortunately, her luck was pretty good at the moment and she met pretty good people.
The rain stopped at noon the next day after it turned into light rain.
Ji Yang was still thinking that it had been more than ten days now, so he decided to go to the base first, when he heard Xie Muchi's voice coming from the intercom: "I'm here, I brought you something."
"Okay." Ji Yang immediately lay down again.
Now she doesn't have to move.
After lying down for a while, she got up again and cleaned up the things that shouldn't be there, such as the excessive number of dehumidifiers, the two chickens that came out diligently to eat insects, and the ice cream that was taken out to cool down...
After checking everything, I waited with peace of mind.
They were already within 30 kilometers when they were able to talk, so about 20 minutes later, Ji Yang heard the sound of an engine downstairs. After waiting for a while, he moved his ears and quickly went to the door.
Ji Yang went to open the door, and just then a familiar tall figure appeared, carrying a speedboat on his shoulder and wearing a raincoat with a big bag inside. The clothes were a little wet, sticking to his muscular chest and waist. The handsome face showed a beautiful smile the moment he saw her.
that is……
After this handsome guy calmly stepped on and killed two cockroaches that were trying to crawl into Ji Yang's house, his sense of comfort suddenly decreased a lot.
No matter how handsome a guy is, it would be disheartening if he steps on a cockroach.
She quickly made way: "Come in!"
Xie Muzhi hummed, came in carrying the speedboat, quickly closed the door, then quickly stepped on three more to death, replaced the compromise at the entrance, and said, "Where is the disinfectant? I'll go wash my shoes."
Ji Yang handed him the disinfectant, watched him go to the toilet, and quickly brought a bucket of water over.
Xixi followed behind, staring at him with a pair of fierce eyes.
Xie Muzhi was flattered: "It's been a long time since we last met, did you miss me?"
Xixi: “Woof!”
Where's your prey?
After shouting, he licked his lips.
Xie Muzhi understood the hint: "..."
He stroked the dog's head in annoyance, handed it a piece of bacon in the dog's dissatisfied eyes, and watched Xixi turn around and leave.
What bad intentions does a simple puppy have? He is satisfied with a small piece of meat. How cute!
Xie Muzhi shook his head and smiled, brushing the soles of his shoes quickly, and then he saw Xixi attentively handing the piece of meat to Ji Yang.
After giving it to him, Xixi ran over again and continued to look at him.
The owner has it, but what about its?
Xie Muchi smiled and took out another piece of meat and handed it over. This time Xixi went to her nest to eat it.
He continued to brush his shoes with amusement, poured out the dirty water after brushing, and went to boil water to prepare for a bath in a very familiar manner.
Ji Yang was amused when he saw his attitude: "Are you planning not to go back?"
Xie Muzhi said seriously: "The donkeys in the production team all have holidays, so I have to rest for a few days anyway."
Ji Yang thought of the fact that Xie Muzhi retired during the extreme heat in his previous life. Now it is not far from the extreme heat. Everyone is busy hoarding food. The rich have a strong sense of crisis and may not be willing to trade. So he asked, "Is there no business recently?"
Xie Muzhi was stabbed in the heart: ...
