Chapter 19 Chapter 19
That day, there was a sudden power outage. The air conditioner that had been blowing cold air stopped working, and the temperature instantly became unbearable.
The internet was a hot topic because of this global power outage.
People's tempers are like bombs under high temperatures, which can be ignited at any time. Some people with poor quality directly curse on the Internet, but within a few minutes of cursing, the network connection failed and the small whirlwind on the screen kept spinning. When other software were opened, the network connection failed.
Ye Xun had the cheating device called Precognitive Dreams, and had long considered the problem of Internet disconnection. He had downloaded single-player games and movies in advance, and even downloaded several tons of e-novels. As a communication tool, he prepared several satellite phones, which could only be used to contact a few specific people, but they were enough.
Ye Xun is going to visit the hospital at night tonight, and he is preparing the tools he will need in his room.
Although the temperature would be lower at night, it was still over 40 degrees, so a portable fan should be brought. He also put a satellite phone for Qin Wei, so that they could contact each other easily in the hospital. Considering that the water source outside was not clean, he put an extra bottle of mineral water in Qin Wei's backpack. Since it started to rain, the water at home was taken out from the space by Ye Xun. It was the water that had been used to soak corpses. Regardless of whether there were bacteria or viruses, he didn't dare let his family drink it. Now there were rats and insects. After taking a sip of water, the body would become a hotbed for viruses.
As for self-defense items, in addition to the Tang sword, Ye Xun knew that Qin Wei also had a gun, so he did not prepare it for him. It was not convenient to take out the pistol at the moment, so in addition to the Tang sword, Ye Xun also carried a crossbow to make up for the lack of long-range attack.
After they were fully prepared, they set off.
I still didn't bring Bal with me this time. It was too hot outside, and dogs are very likely to get heatstroke in such high temperatures. Once a pet gets heatstroke, it is usually difficult to save it. I can take it out after a few months of extreme cold.
There are many hospitals in H City, but most of them have been flooded. There are two hospitals in the old city that were not seriously flooded. This is related to the terrain of the old city. In the early years, the urban drainage system was not as mature as it is now. Once there was heavy rain in summer, it was easy to be flooded, so the terrain of the urban area at that time was relatively high.
Only after the drainage system was mature did high-rise villas begin to be built in these low-lying areas.
Ye Xun planned to go to the hospital that was closer to them first today, and then go to the other one if there was enough time.
The two hospitals were 24 kilometers and 35 kilometers away from them respectively. Without any means of transportation, the two could only walk. If they were lucky, they might even meet a car along the way.
Ye Xun has a car in his space, but he has to find a chance to take it out. He doesn't want to walk all the way there, it's so tiring.
On the way, Ye Xun kept observing the surrounding buildings, and finally found the opportunity after walking for an hour.
He grabbed Qin Wei's bag and pointed to a public toilet sign, "I'm going to use the toilet over there, wait for me to come back."
Qin Wei: "Okay."
Ye Xun trotted towards the toilet, and when he reached a place where the other party couldn't see him, he took out the modified off-road vehicle from the space. It was obvious that the brand new car had not experienced the apocalypse. Ye Xun had to bear the heartache, dug up some soil from the ground, added water to make mud water, smeared it on the body of the car, and then smeared a lot of mud on the back seats and driver's seat of the car.
After camouflaging the car, Ye Xun walked around the car. Seeing that it was quite fooling, he happily went up and started the car.
Qin Wei waited and waited at the spot, but Ye Xun didn't come back. Just when he thought something had happened to him and wanted to look for him, a modified military off-road vehicle drove over from the direction where Ye Xun disappeared.
The car body was muddy and looked fine at a glance, but something was wrong upon closer inspection. The mud on the car was still half dry and there were several hand prints. Looking at the size of the hand prints, Qin Wei made a bold guess about the identity of the driver.
The SUV drove over and stopped beside Qin Wei. The door was opened and Ye Xun got out of the car. He greeted Qin Wei happily, "Qin Wei, come quickly. I found a car and we can drive to the hospital."
It was obviously his car, but he pretended to have found it on the roadside. Qin Wei did not expose him and said, "Ye Xun, you are so lucky. If it were me, I would never have found such a good car."
Ye Xun pretended not to hear the exaggeration in his tone and continued his performance, "I have always had good luck since I was a child. I found the car and you are responsible for driving it."
Qin Wei: "Okay, boss."
Hearing this address, Ye Xun was stunned for a moment. After spending so much time together, he almost forgot about his relationship with Qin Wei.
The employee has performed excellently, and it is time to make him a regular employee, changing from an employment relationship to, well... Ye Xun thought, it would be better to change it to a friendship relationship.
The off-road vehicle's fuel tank was full. Qin Wei saw that Ye Xun was sweating profusely even with the fan on, so he turned on the air conditioner in the car.
As soon as the air conditioner came on, the temperature inside the car dropped significantly. He watched Ye Xun's brows, which were furrowed due to the heat, finally relax and he continued to concentrate on driving.
Enjoying the cool air, Ye Xun finally had the energy to look at the map. Yes, a map of H City. Now there is no network, and the navigation cannot be used. Ye Xun is a road idiot, and Qin Wei is not a local, so they can only rely on the map and compass to identify the direction. Fortunately, the urban construction of H City is very good, and there are road signs every few hundred meters, which is still very convenient for finding the way.
With an off-road vehicle, the 24-kilometer journey only took about 40 minutes.
The closer the car gets to the old town, the more dilapidated the buildings become.
The houses in this urban area are all decades old buildings. After being soaked in water for more than a month, the cement has become soft. After being exposed to the sun, it can be easily broken off after it dries.
Ye Xun looked at the broken corner of the wall in his hand, feeling heavy-hearted. Such houses in the old city were no longer habitable, so where would these people go? Only the new city.
The more people there are, the more likely it is that chaos will occur. The government has hardly intervened during this period, and it is probably impossible to manage the situation relying on the people in the community. H City will soon be in chaos.
Qin Wei thought the same as he did, but he was not too worried. How chaotic could a crowd without organization and weapons get? He thought of the phone call his brother Qin Ye made to him the night before the network disappeared.
Qin Ye's voice sounded tired, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time. "Qin Wei, are you still at your original employer's house?"
Qin Wei: “Yes.”
"That's good," Qin Ye pressed his forehead, which was throbbing from lack of sleep. "The Geological Disaster Bureau has detected that solar activity is unusually high and the global magnetic field is in chaos. People will live under these natural disasters for a long time in the future. The time may be five years or indefinitely."
"Qin Wei, do you know where the only place in the world with a stable magnetic field is?"
Why ask him? He knows nothing about these things, unless... Qin Wei suddenly had an idea and came up with an impossible but most likely answer.
Qin Wei's Adam's apple rolled up and down: "It's here with me, right?"
Qin Ye: "Yes. So you have to stay there no matter what, no matter how shameless, threatening, or seducing. This may be the last hope for mankind."
Qin Wei didn't remember what mood he was in when he hung up the phone. It was as if Ye Xun had foreseen all of this from the very beginning. The mountains of supplies, the converted bunker-like house, the satellite phone, and this car, where did they come from?
The other party didn't point it out clearly, but he didn't really hide many things from him. The size of Ye Xun's house was simply not enough to accommodate so many things. It couldn't be that he had a portable space, right?
It's not impossible. After all, the end of the world and hope for mankind have come, and it's not unacceptable to have another space.
Ye Xun had no idea what was going on in Qin Wei's mind as he was walking in front of him. He was thinking about what to take with him.
Respiratory and digestive medicines are definitely needed, including some surgical instruments and consumables, which should be packed up and taken away if possible. I don't know if there is a chance to take away those large equipment, so I have to find a way to get Qin Wei out of the way.
Ye Xun rehearsed countless ways of saying to get Qin Wei out of the way in his mind, and soon arrived at the hospital's outpatient building.
The ground and walls of the first floor were all dry soil, and it was obvious that this place had been flooded. The two quickly found the pharmacy and took out the sealed medicine boxes and put them into the bag. Some of the medicines had deteriorated and expanded due to the high temperature, so they could not be used and had to be discarded.
Because the Chinese medicine was not stored in a sealed container, it was all soaked in water and could no longer be used. The two of them felt heartbroken when they saw the pile of medicine on the ground.
The medicines and vaccines in the refrigerator were basically unusable. After being soaked in water, the refrigerator quickly malfunctioned and lost its ability to keep warm. All the well-preserved medicines in the entire pharmacy, added together, could not even fill a backpack. The harvest was much less than Ye Xun had expected.
The upstairs was the laboratory department. Judging from the water marks on the wall, the water should have only reached the calf level at that time. Even so, the things on the second floor were not of much use to them. The laboratory equipment was useful, but no one studied medicine.
Wait, studying medicine? Ye Xun remembered that Wang Yu was studying medicine and had studied abroad for a year. These things were tailor-made for Wang Yu, and he had to act separately from Qin Wei.
"Captain Qin, let's search separately and meet back at this staircase in three hours."
Qin Wei agreed to the proposal, "Okay, call me if there's anything."
After saying that, he strode to the third floor.
Ye Xun first pretended to look for something in the laboratory. When he heard the footsteps getting farther and farther away, he immediately and impatiently put the equipment into the space, and also took away the consumables for blood drawing. The entire laboratory was cleared out like this.
Ye Xun left the laboratory department and started running around the second floor of the outpatient department.
If you see B-ultrasound equipment, take it away. If you see dental equipment, take it away. In the operating room, take away all the ultrasonic scalpels, monitors, anesthesia machines and anesthesia drugs!
Fortunately, there was no monitoring during the power outage, otherwise the existence of the space would have been exposed. Ye Xun wore a miner's hat on his head, and he really looked like a hardworking miner, shuttling between various departments. The huge harvest made him so happy that the corners of his mouth were almost grinning to the back of his ears.
