Chapter 067 Chapter 67
For hungry survivors, food is more important than anything else.
Seeing that they had no idea when the hail would stop, they did not dare to go out, for fear of getting a bloody head. They stayed here, starving to death, and rushed towards the food as soon as they saw it.
Just want to grab a little more.
As for being punished by the base in the future?
In such a disaster, the authorities don’t have the time to arrest people, not to mention that so many people are crowded together and once the hail stops, they all run away. Who knows who will be caught?
A farce began.
It should not be said of one occasion, but of many.
People kept looting, and even gunshots were heard in some places.
The atmosphere, which had just become harmonious, suddenly froze again. Several staff members listened to the noise coming from the surroundings, feeling uncomfortable but also fortunate at the same time. Fortunately, there was a man with a gun on their side.
Ordinary employees are not able to carry guns. There are many security guards in the base, but there is no way to guarantee that every shelter is protected by a security guard, especially since the security guards are also converted from ordinary survivors. In a panic, they may not be able to remain rational.
Some shelters may have two or three security guards, while others may have none.
For example, on their side, and most obviously on the opposite side, the situation was so serious that some staff members seemed to have been beaten, but there was still no security guard coming out to deter them.
I can only hope the hail stops soon.
Otherwise, if we continue like this, something serious will really happen.
As if hearing people's prayers, the hail stopped again at around eight o'clock in the evening, but this time, no one on Ji Yang's side said they wanted to leave. Not for anything else, but because if it started raining again, there would be nowhere to hide on the way. The thickness of the accumulated hail had completely blocked the position of the gate, but it had not yet reached the second floor, and the windows on the second floor were all closed at this time.
Everyone had survived a natural disaster and experienced life and death, and none of them were fools, so they just sighed and went back to sleep.
It’s good to stay here any longer. I was so irritable before because I felt cold and hungry. I was afraid that I would starve to death here or be targeted by other survivors. Now I know that the authorities have left supplies and there are armed men maintaining order, so I don’t have to worry at all.
You can be patient enough to wait for the hail to stop completely.
Ji Yang had no plans to leave for the time being. Xie Muchi's concussion seemed to be not light. Until now, the total time she had been awake was no more than an hour. When she woke up occasionally, he would secretly feed her some food, go to the toilet, and then fall into a deep sleep again.
But to say that he was in a deep sleep, that wasn’t the case.
He could sense when Ji Yang made some movements, but he seldom opened his eyes. By the next night, he still had a fever. He took some medicine and the fever subsided for a while, but when the effect of the medicine wore off, he had the fever again.
The only thing to be thankful for is that I didn’t have a high fever.
Ji Yang asked him to take out another thin blanket, stuff it inside and wrap him up completely, and finally let Xixi lie on him to keep warm.
Looking at his slightly dark skin, which was now flushed with fever, she sighed helplessly. He used to be such a strong man, but he became like this after falling in love. But she just sighed in her heart. If it weren't for her, Xie Muchi would not have become love-brained... Anyway, in the last life, Ji Yang heard those profiteers regret that he would be single for the rest of his life.
Then I thought of Wang Wang who was still in Xie Muchi's villa.
Originally, Xie Muchi was asked to feed the cat, but now, she didn't know whether Luo Laosan and the others had left anyone in the villa, otherwise she was afraid that the little guy who had finally grown some meat would starve to death.
They remained on the sidelines, but in other places, when they felt that the snow would not continue for a while, people began to go out one after another, suddenly returning to the icy and snowy land. They were shivering with cold, but still headed home with determination.
Otherwise, if you stay here, you will starve to death or freeze to death.
——
This time the hail stopped for almost two hours before it started drizzling again.
When they realized this, the survivors who dared not go out once again regretted it and cursed God, saying that it was playing tricks on them.
I should have gotten out earlier.
This amount of time is more than enough for them to run back!
But who knows?
The opportunity was fleeting and the hail started again.
During this period, Luo Laosan also contacted Xie Muchi. He was previously trapped in a client's house. In order to go back, he risked his life to rush out and got the walkie-talkie. The weather was too hot and he was afraid that the walkie-talkie would burn out, so he rarely carried it with him. Who knew this would happen?
Knowing that they were fine, Luo Laosan felt relieved. There were always people watching over the villa, so there was no need to worry.
Ji Yang also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
This night passed smoothly.
The hail and rain still did not stop, but fortunately there were still compressed biscuits. Early the next morning, the staff made breakfast again, which was still porridge with a can of meat. This time the survivors were very cooperative. Seeing this, the staff did not disturb Ji Yang, but sent someone to deliver three full portions of food to them.
Perhaps because Ji Yang was always easy to talk to and didn't show off his guns, the honest survivors frowned and muttered in a low voice after seeing this scene, "It's really unfair. Why do they have so many?"
I dare not speak too loudly.
But there weren't many people on the second floor, and it wasn't noisy, so I could hear it clearly.
The staff member immediately retorted loudly: "Yesterday's was not enough, so they don't have it. This is to compensate them!"
The person who spoke immediately blushed, and pointed at the fat dog unwillingly: "Why can dogs eat so much?!"
The staff member's voice turned cold: "The extra portion is your reward. If it weren't for the gun in her hand yesterday, do you think the food would have been able to get into your mouth so easily?!"
That person: “…”
After they finished eating yesterday, there was a looting incident next door. Everyone heard it clearly and was speechless.
When the staff saw that his car had completely stalled, they came over to help angrily.
As for Ji Yang, he ignored it the whole time. When Xixi heard the fat dog, he bared his teeth. However, the other party had no intention of attacking, so he did not move. Just this alone frightened the man so much that he retreated in panic and accidentally stepped on another survivor, and the two sides started fighting.
Now he lost all his anger and hid away with a bruised face.
The hot breakfast comforted the people who had been frozen all night. Ji Yang also held the breakfast and started to eat it. Xixi was afraid of the heat, so he had to leave it for a while longer. As for Xie Muchi, he might not have woken up yet, so Ji Yang planned to wait until he finished eating before feeding him.
As a result, when she was halfway through her meal, the sounds of sniffing and complaints about how God didn't want people to live from upstairs and downstairs made her lose all her appetite.
In the end, he gave his share to Xixi.
She directly called Xie Muchi to eat.
The hot porridge made Xie Muchi eat a few more mouthfuls. His head was still a little dizzy and his appetite was poor, but he knew that he couldn't go on starving, so he tried to eat some. After eating, he felt a lot more energetic, but his breathing was still heavy.
Ji Yang felt complicated.
Xie Muzhi squeezed her hand, and a faint smile appeared on his pale lips: "It's okay, I'm in good health. Today is much better than yesterday. I'll be fine in two days."
Ji Yang pursed her lips and shook his big hand back: "Yeah."
Xixi finished her meal with a grunt, ran over and threw herself on Xie Muchi: "Woof!"
Xie Muzhi was not prepared and was directly crushed by the heavy weight and groaned. Ji Yang finally smiled and patted Xixi's head: "Be gentle, it's broken."
"Ouch~" Xixi licked her lips guiltily.
Ji Yang's heart softened and he rubbed Xixi's head. Unconsciously, his smile disappeared again.
Xie Muzhi was in high spirits at the moment and didn't want to sleep. Seeing that she looked unhappy, he asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you tell me about it?"
"Nothing." Ji Yang smiled, but didn't intend to say anything.
There were many reasons why she was in a bad mood. In addition to the fact that Xie Muchi had a concussion and was drowsy day and night, the super-large hailstorm like this one did not happen in her previous life.
Previously, there were mostly minor changes that did not affect the overall situation.
But this time the incident was different.
Such a heavy hailstorm caused such a thick accumulation of hail, and the temperature dropped from over 50 degrees Celsius to zero degrees in almost one day. So when the hailstorm is over, will extreme heat come?
Hot, cold, and hot again.
How many people can withstand such horrific temperature changes? !
Every time this happened, Ji Yang felt that time was very hard to bear, especially when Xie Muchi was still in a coma. She had nothing to do and her living space was small, so she couldn't help but have wild thoughts.
There is such a thing as rebirth. Could it be that natural disasters are really, as some people say, the Blue Planet clearing its body of viruses?
So when I realized that the previous measures did not seem to have achieved satisfactory results, and the virus was decreasing too slowly, I needed to work harder? Would the next extreme heat be more unbearable than the previous life?
Maybe she has space, but she can't make it.
She put so many things in space, thinking that one day the natural disaster would be completely over and humans would use them when rebuilding their homes. But would they not be used? After all, 'He' might want humans to disappear completely...
Ji Yang couldn't help but feel negative.
Naturally, I'm not in a very good mood.
Xie Muchi pinched his brows. Although he couldn't fully understand Ji Yang's thoughts, he could probably understand why she was in a low mood. They were in a small enclosed space, and outside it was the third day of hail and rain that had not completely stopped. They had just survived the extreme cold and floods, and rats, cockroaches and other disgusting things were still there, and then there was extreme heat waiting for them.
He was injured and fell into a coma for a long time.
There was almost only negative energy around her. Even if Ji Yang tried not to listen and ignored it, those voices could still reach her ears to a certain extent.
It's only a matter of time before you're affected.
——
After Xie Muchi had breakfast, he indeed felt much better and his fever was gone. However, his head was still dizzy and he felt as if his brain was spinning, jumping, and bumping into him, so he couldn't make any big movements.
However, you can still do some small actions.
He suddenly took a deep breath.
Ji Yang came back to his senses and looked at him. He immediately touched his forehead and asked, "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xie Muzhi didn't answer, but instead asked, "Can you zip up the tent?"
"Okay." Ji Yang cooperated.
The tent once again became a confined space.
Xie Muzhi suddenly looked at Xixi: "Xixi, keep an eye on it. If anyone comes over, just yell, okay?"
Xixi replied lazily: "Woof!"
Then he held Ji Yang's hand, used a little force, held her in his arms, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I've wanted to do this for a long time. You've been pretending not to see it, so I can only be more obvious."
Ji Yang was stunned and thought he had heard it wrong, but the next second his eyes blurred.
Ji Yang:!
"You're crazy!"
This time it was her turn to complain about others. Was Xie Muchi so cruel? She was always sneaky when she had a space, and would not easily enter the space from outside. But he was in the tent, surrounded by a bunch of people, and he pulled her into the space.
A huge valley appeared before our eyes.
Yes, the valley.
It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, but it is not quite a mountain. As far as the eye can see, only half of a mountain is visible. In the middle of the mountains is a clear pond. The pond is not big and the water does not look deep. There are fields around it, which are well-maintained and lush. However, wherever you pass, at first glance, there are only potatoes and sweet potatoes.
On the surrounding hillsides, different poultry are fenced off, mostly rabbits, but there are also chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, and sheep, but in small numbers. There are many trees on the hills, with birds, bees, and butterflies flying among them.
There is also a mountain with various supplies.
In addition, there are many shelves built above the planting fields, all of which are used to store supplies, but the distance is a bit far and it is difficult to see clearly what they are.
The place where they were was a simple wooden house, which was very small, estimated to be about ten square meters. There was a small open space in front of the wooden house with grass seeds and chairs. The two of them were lying on the grass.
It is indeed a living space.
It is something that has the same function as her space.
Ji Yang immediately thought of her ring. The ring was hollow, and the space was attached to it. The missing piece in the middle might also be a space. She had guessed it before, and now that she had put it in context, she felt that her guess was probably correct.
Of course, the most important thing is how can you come and go as you please?
Xie Muzhi patted her back soothingly: "It's okay, no one is coming."
Ji Yang glanced at him dimly and said, "Let's go out. It's better to be safe than sorry."
It's better to be cautious.
We only have one life.
Although she was reborn, she never felt that she had a third life. She was extremely lucky to be able to start over again.
If she really died because of this, she would be so upset.
Xie Muzhi had no choice but to take her out.
Xixi was still lying in the distance, just like before they entered the space, and had no reaction to their appearance. A hint of doubt flashed in Xie Muchi's eyes, but it didn't matter. He was not a suspicious person. Since he had identified Ji Yang, he would not doubt those things.
You only have one life, but if you can't even trust the person next to you, life will be meaningless.
Ji Yang didn't know what this love-brained person was thinking. After returning to the tent, he felt safe and quickly pinched Xie Muzhi's waist: "Be more careful next time!"
She couldn't help but start thinking that maybe Xie Muchi didn't mean to let her find out, he was really too careless.
Xie Muzhi curved his lips and nodded in a very talkative manner: "Okay."
Ji Yang rolled his eyes.
His attitude wasn't very good, but he looked lively, much better than his depressed and negative look just now. Xie Muchi looked at him straight, and suddenly leaned over and kissed him.
Once your lips touch, you don't want to separate.
Ji Yang was furious and subconsciously wanted to push him away. Xie Muzhi quickly said, "I feel dizzy!"
Ji Yang froze in his tracks, and the other party succeeded.
Her lips were bitten lightly by the other party, and the tingling sensation spread throughout her body like an electric current. She vaguely understood why this kind of thing could easily make people indulge. As they kissed, all her strange emotions slowly calmed down.
After all, he was outside and felt that his body was about to be unable to bear it. Xie Muzhi stopped in time and diverted his attention: "Don't you want to know what this is?"
Ji Yang turned his face away and said, "I don't want to."
Xie Muzhi bit her earlobe angrily and rubbed it with his teeth. Seeing that she was about to push him away, he let go, pulled the blanket and quilt over their heads, and whispered in her ear:
"About a hundred days before the natural disaster, the jade pendant I had worn since childhood suddenly became hot. I happened to be feeding a stray cat and got scratched by it. My hand was bleeding and I touched it, and this space appeared. It seemed that only the core in the middle of this space was left. The other half of the mountain around it disappeared. The area is not large. The valley in the middle is about 10,000 square meters, and the mountain is estimated to cover an area of about 5,000 square meters..."
One hundred days? Ten thousand square meters?
Ji Yang's eyes flickered slightly. The timing and size were even more coincidental.
She couldn't help but ask, "Is this the size you got?"
Xie Muzhi: "Yes, this space has been triggered by my elders. According to the seniority, it should be passed down by my great-great-grandfather. Before he died, he let all his descendants test it with their blood, but no one could activate it. So we just treat it as an ordinary jade pendant for safety."
Ji Yang's heart, which had just been lifted, sank again.
very good.
It seems that Xie Mu doesn’t know that jade is needed to upgrade the space.
Moreover, after this space is upgraded to the maximum level, Yu Yu Shi will no longer be needed. This is... quite good, but I just feel a little disappointed. Why?
Xie Muzhi smiled and said, "At that time, I felt that something must be wrong, so I stockpiled a lot of things and raised some poultry when I had nothing to do. Then the natural disaster came, and I happened to have some space, so I thought about helping out. I used my identity as a trader to cover up my tracks, and I got a lot of things to give away. After a few exchanges, I became close to the government."
"Very good." Ji Yang nodded. She was filled with admiration after hearing this. She was not self-aware of this. She had experienced too much and seen too much in those five years. She could not trust others so frankly. Besides, she could not follow Xie Muchi's model.
In five years, she successfully evolved into an i person who doesn't like to socialize with others.
Xie Muzhi was praised, and couldn't help but lean over to kiss her: "So don't worry, I have made a lot of things, no matter what disaster it is, I can survive it!"
"Okay." Ji Yang smiled, hiding the guilt in his eyes, and kissed him back: "Then I have to hold your thighs tightly in the future."
Xie Muzhi: "No, just hold my waist."
Ji Yang: “…”
She pinched Xie Muzhi's face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, go to sleep first."
Xie Muchi nodded. He was indeed tired after all that trouble. He pulled the quilt down, breathed in some fresh air, closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Ji Yang rubbed his face and calmed down.
Xie Muchi was a very good person, and was very good to her. At that moment just now, Ji Yang actually had the urge to speak out. It was a bit tormenting to hide a secret of the same level in front of such an almost sincere person.
But she soon came back to her senses.
no.
Xie Muzhi was not alone, he could trust her, but what about the others? If something happened, she would be finished.
She had decided to pretend that she didn't notice Xie Muchi's flaws at the beginning because of this consideration. Unfortunately, this guy was too obsessed with love. Two people should always complement each other. He took away his love brain, so Ji Yang could only put safety first.
Besides, what if you break up while in a relationship?
They knew each other's secrets. Once they broke up, Ji Yang felt that she might want to kill Xie Muchi, which was too unfriendly. For the safety of both parties, he had to continue to keep it a secret.
Thinking of this, Ji Yang suddenly felt refreshed and was no longer entangled at all.
He lay down next to Xie Muchi and fell asleep.
——
While sleeping, Ji Yang suddenly felt very hot!
It's like being placed in a steamer.
The temperature around her rose rapidly, and the heat spread in waves, making the skin around her feel hot. She woke up suddenly, just in time to see Xixi's dog face. The dog's mouth was wide open and holding her hand, as if it wanted to bite her.
"Woof!" Xixi immediately let go of her and yelled anxiously.
Ji Yang knew something was wrong and quickly woke Xie Muzhi up: "Wake up, something is wrong!"
Xie Muzhi was also sweating from the heat, and he was a little slow to react when he was pushed awake, but he immediately pinched himself, and the pain made him sober instantly: "Why is it so hot?!"
As he spoke, his hands quickly collected blankets and other things that shouldn't be in the space. Ji Yang asked him and Xixi to go out and start packing up the tent. Once they were outside, they felt even stickier, hotter and more humid than in the late flood period.
Ji Yang asked: "Is there a thermometer?"
Xie Muzhi nodded in understanding, then took out a digital thermometer from under his bag. As soon as he took it out, he could feel the temperature of the thermometer rising rapidly and the humidity also jumping rapidly.
Thirty degrees, thirty-three degrees, thirty-six degrees, forty degrees...
The humidity jumped directly to ninety.
As they were cleaning up, survivors on the first and second floors cried out, "Oh my god, why is it so hot all of a sudden?!"
"The first floor is flooded!"
"Fuck, isn't this ice melting too fast?!"
"Hurry upstairs!"
Soon a swarm of people came in.
The originally empty space on Ji Yang's side was suddenly compressed. Fortunately, everyone was still afraid of the gun in her hand and did not come over completely.
I don't know when the surrounding windows were opened, and gusts of hot air rushed in, making breathing seem sticky and uncomfortable. The space was getting more and more crowded, and the staff used a loudspeaker to remind everyone that they could go to the third floor, which barely relieved the pressure.
But soon, the person near the staircase in front suddenly screamed: "Ah! There are so many rats!"
"There are so many cockroaches, help! Why are all these guys here——"
"It's really driving people crazy, catching rats! It's points after all!"
Ji Yang couldn't see the situation over there, but he could guess the general situation. Rats and cockroaches all swarmed into the room because of the hail. They were behind the crowd and didn't have to face them directly, but soon some of them slipped through the net and came over.
"Woof!" Xixi immediately pounced over.
The huge dog opened its mouth and bit the mouse to death in one bite. Ji Yang breathed a sigh of relief, took out his pistol, and stared at the mouse that might come over at any time. Cockroaches were okay and would not actively attack people, but mice were not the same.
Xie Muchi hadn't fully recovered from his concussion yet, so he couldn't shoot. If he missed, someone might die, so he hid behind Ji Yang and Xixi.
Soon the second and third mice appeared.
Even though Xixi was fast, she was no match for the number of rats. Ji Yang fired quickly. Rats nowadays were big and easy to aim at, so he could hit them with one shot and there was no need to finish them off.
The eyes of the survivors around Ji Yang lit up, and they quickly rushed over to pick up the mice.
These are all points!
"It's melted!" Someone noticed outside the window and suddenly shouted.
Ji Yang turned around and saw that outside the window behind him, the hail that was almost approaching the second floor had now turned mostly into water in such a short period of time, with a small amount of ice cubes floating on top, flowing all around.
The base has a drainage system, so as long as you give it some time, the water won't be delayed for too long.
But the temperature continued to rise at this time.
Ji Yang took the time to look at the thermometer in his pocket. It was already fifty-five degrees!
It's too hot.
Having just experienced a temperature of almost zero degrees, they were suddenly faced with such a terrifying temperature rise. Any human with a slightly weaker ability to regulate their body would be in trouble. Even she was feeling uncomfortable from the heat at the moment.
Xie Muchi suddenly came over and put something cold in his big hand to her lips.
Ji Yang was surprised.
Is there a still space?
"There's an ice machine," he whispered.
Ji Yang: ...
Still Space is so useful that I almost forgot about the high technology.
She opened her mouth and ate it, pursing her lips tightly, chewing the ice cubes with her teeth and swallowing them. The roots of her teeth were so cold that tears came out when she chewed, but as the cold ice chips slid into her esophagus, the heat in her body was instantly relieved. After Xie Muchi fed her, he went to feed Xixi.
Xixi, who had long been accustomed to being fed ice cubes by its owner, immediately opened its mouth and ate them. This time, it instinctively swallowed them directly without holding them in its mouth.
Xie Muchi also ate two pieces of ice by himself.
Then they continued to take turns feeding them ice cubes.
The temperature continued to rise, and the coolness suppressed the heat. Ji Yang felt much more relaxed, but it was not the same for the others. With so many people crowded together in the room and the continued high temperature, some people soon began to have difficulty breathing and fell down in the panic of the people around them.
"How are you?"
"It's too hot, move aside--"
"Where is the space?"
"Ahhh, the rat bit me!"
"Brother, how are you? Don't scare me!"
"It's too hot, I can't breathe—"
Various situations occurred frequently and it was completely overwhelming. Ji Yang felt creepy just by listening to them. The weather was much more abnormal than in his previous life.
With such a huge temperature difference, the base is likely to suffer heavy losses again this time!
Recalling the end of the extreme cold, when the Jiafu community moved to the base, it was no longer as empty as it was in the past; during the flood, the base was messy, but there were really a lot of people.
Ji Yang was quite happy. After all, many people survived and the message she sent out was still useful.
But this time, the population that survived thanks to the official protection of the predicted emails may be similar to the previous life when it is extremely hot...
