Chapter 78 Will the authorities establish a base?
Nan Ci thought about it seriously before answering Mu Qianqian’s question.
“Before the end of the world, I did nothing but travel or stay at home and play with my cat.”
Mu Qianqian didn't believe it at all, "Impossible, you must practice weightlifting at home every day, otherwise how could you have such great strength?"
Hearing what Mu Qianqian said, Nan Ci just smiled slightly and didn't say anything else.
Before the end of the world, she really didn’t have much strength! What she just said was also true!
But if I tell Mu Qianqian these words, will she believe it?
Of course not.
Since the matter of the spiritual spring water could not be discussed, Mu Qianqian could only guess.
Mu Qianqian was not the type of person who would dig into things until she got to the bottom of things. Seeing that Nan Ci just smiled but didn't say anything, she stopped asking and turned around and got busy again.
Zhou Ziyang didn't come over. Mu Qianqian said he was dismantling furniture in the conference room.
There were so many pieces of furniture that three people worked non-stop for several hours before they finally finished dismantling most of it.
He used the intercom to contact the old Taoist priest downstairs, chose a direction with fewer people, opened the window and threw the wood down.
Throwing away all the frames is quite relaxing.
After Nan Ci and the other two threw away the trash, they spoke to the old Taoist priest through the intercom, and the old Taoist priest then started picking up the trash.
Nan Ci and the others had been throwing the items for quite a long time, so it was unrealistic for the old Taoist priest to pick them up alone.
Finally, the three of them discussed it and decided to let Zhou Ziyang go down first to help the old Taoist priest pick up the things, while Nan Ci and Mu Qianqian continued to go up to see what was on the upper level.
It’s not easy to climb up here once, so if you can find more things to bring back, you’ll do so.
The two men walked up one floor along the stairs and discovered that this was an advertising company.
Apart from some tables, chairs, benches and documents, nothing else useful was found.
After contacting the old Taoist priest Zhou Ziyang below, the two threw their packed things down and continued to move forward.
After going up three or four floors in a row and not finding many particularly useful things, Nan Ci felt a little tired.
Looking up at the endless staircase, Nan Ci said to Mu Qianqian, "We have found quite a few things today. Let's go down one more floor. It will take a long time to carry all these things upstairs. It will be even colder outside after dark."
Mu Qianqian was not a greedy person, so she immediately agreed when she heard it.
After going up one floor along the stairs, I found that this was the headquarters of a real estate company.
People who work in real estate are rich!
The tables, chairs and benches in the offices and conference rooms are all made of fine wood.
Mu Qianqian's eyes lit up as she watched, and she wished she could pack them all up and take them away.
Not only that, they also found a lot of bottled drinking water and small snacks, biscuits and mints.
All the drinking water was frozen into ice, but the two of them didn't mind and threw it all out of the window.
The table was difficult to split and there was no room for the little turtle on its back, so the two of them just dismantled the chair and threw it down.
While Mu Qianqian was wandering around another office, Nan Ci found two more safes and put them all into the space.
After returning, when I have nothing to do, I can think about unboxing it. This process is like treasure hunting, which is quite interesting.
When preparing to go downstairs, Mu Qianqian was still looking at the solid wooden table in the room with reluctance.
"Let's come back tomorrow. These tables will still be there, right?"
This sounded like a question, but Nan Ci knew that Mu Qianqian didn't actually need any answer.
There are so many survivors, and even more people coming out to look for fuel.
No one comes up here now simply because they can find what they want on the lower floors.
But when they can't find what they want on the lower floors, they will definitely climb up.
By that time, how could the things here still be preserved?
Nan Ci walked over to Mu Qianqian and patted her on the shoulder gently, "Don't think too much, there are still dozens of levels above! Besides, it's impossible for the authorities to remain silent forever."
Mu Qianqian was originally feeling sad, but after Nan Ci said this, all the sadness was thrown away and she just looked at Nan Ci with eager eyes.
"Official? Nan Ci, have you received any news? Are the officials going to start the rescue?"
Nan Ci shook his head decisively, "I haven't received any news. I was just thinking that the snow now is not like the rain before, so it is much more convenient to travel. In this case, it is impossible for the authorities to not take any action, right?"
"Yes!" Mu Qianqian nodded in agreement, "The authorities will definitely come to rescue us. It's so cold and the fuel is not enough. If the authorities don't care, the survivors won't be able to hold out for long.
When I read novels before, in those zombie apocalypses, the authorities would always set up bases. So, will there be bases in reality as well?"
Nan Ci had no way to answer Mu Qianqian's question.
After the extreme cold came in his previous life, Nan Ci wandered alone. He had never heard of where the base was, nor did he go looking for it specifically.
Nan Ci didn’t feel good about the experience in the gym, and she subconsciously didn’t want to go to the base.
Even in this life, Nan Ci never thought about going to the base.
The reason I mentioned the official information was just to remind Mu Qianqian and the others.
Nan Ci didn’t think that just because he didn’t want to go to the base, others wouldn’t want to go either.
If Mu Qianqian and the others are interested in the base, they can still pay attention to the news in this regard.
With the official base as a carrot, Mu Qianqian no longer felt bad about the tables that could not be taken away. When she went downstairs, her steps were much lighter and she walked very quickly.
Although going upstairs is tiring, going downstairs hurts your knees even more.
However, Mu Qianqian was young, and the clothes and shoes she wore provided adequate protection, so she didn't feel any pain in her knees after walking down dozens of floors.
Mu Qianqian didn’t feel anything, so Nan Ci would feel even less.
Not to mention the four cats, they were the fastest runners, and Nan Ci and Mu Qianqian could only watch helplessly as they chased after them.
Downstairs, the old Taoist priest and Zhou Ziyang were still picking up wood, and the turtle's back was almost full.
Nan Ci and Mu Qianqian were not idle either, and hurried forward to help.
With two more people, the speed naturally became faster.
Finally, the turtle's back was filled to the brim and carefully secured with ropes before everything was loaded.
But Mu Qianqian and the other two couldn't go up.
Nan Ci patted Zizi's head and said, "Zizi, thank you for taking us back!"
The cub raised its head and meowed, its body instantly grew larger, and it lay on the ground at the same time, making it easier for Nan Ci, Mu Qianqian and the other two to get on.
In fact, you can make all four cats bigger and each person rides one.
But if that were the case, four giant cats plus an oversized turtle would be too conspicuous.
Although everyone now knows that the animals have mutated, Nan Ci still doesn't want to be too ostentatious.
