Chapter 50 Chapter 50
When Xu Feng heard this request, he patted his chest and agreed. Not to mention one plate, he would also do two or three plates.
Naturally, the sooner the better to move, so that night, he and Zhang Tianyu began to pack up and move the valuables, such as pickles, bacon and other food, to Xie Wei's house first.
Quilts and other worthless items will be moved last.
Qin Wei saw that the two of them were moving too slowly, so he went down to help them move.
It only took me three hours to move all the things in the room, and it was not even ten o'clock in the evening, so I still had time to tidy up the room.
The layout and area of the whole house are similar. The one Xie Wei lives in is also a three-bedroom apartment, with two empty rooms. Apart from the bed and wardrobe, there is nothing else. You can move in as long as you make the bed.
While they were moving things, Ye Xun and Wang Yu took out the dumplings that had been made and frozen and cooked them for everyone as a midnight snack.
Thefts continued to occur in the base despite repeated bans, so anyone caught was thrown into the mine to dig coal and then released on the day of relocation, which was a form of bail in another sense.
The sky garden has been completed, and the soil was laid overnight on the day of completion. Now the base has begun to implement a day shift and a night shift, striving to harvest more food in a limited time.
The harvested vegetables are made into dehydrated vegetables and stored in a vacuum. Sweet potatoes are sliced, cooked, and dried in the sun to become sweet potato chips. After adding appropriate amounts of preservatives, they are then stored in a vacuum to extend their shelf life.
In less than a month, not enough fertilized eggs can hatch and grow into adult chickens, so they can only be pickled into salted eggs.
This led to a significant increase in the use of salt in the base, and they had to send a team of ten people to the salt lake where Ye Xun and his team had been to boil salt.
As the days passed, the extreme heat was getting closer and closer, and finally on May Day, Ye Xun saw the numbers on the thermometer on the wall jump up by five.
Maybe the perceived temperature has not changed, but it is actually rising.
The base also checks the temperature daily, and if there is a change, we must pay close attention.
Every day that followed, the temperature rose by five degrees, and it only took about a week to reach minus twenty degrees Celsius.
The residents in the base have started to take off their clothes. The heavy down jackets that once brought them warmth have now become a burden, and they have all switched to lighter styles.
They raised extremely cold-resistant rabbits, but they also slaughtered them all and pickled them with salt to make bacon, which they used as a reserve food during the migration.
The clean snow on the eaves is collected and used as water source.
On the night when the temperature rose to zero degrees, Ye Xun dreamed that he traveled to a cannibal tribe, was captured and thrown into a large steamer. As the temperature in the steamer rose, sweat flowed down like a waterfall, and even his breathing became difficult.
Finally, I couldn't stand the heat anymore and woke up from my dream.
I realized that the room was like a big steamer and I was covered with two layers of quilts. No wonder I was soaked.
When I lifted the quilt, a human figure was printed on the sheets.
He took off all his coral fleece pajamas, but that was not enough. He turned on the air conditioner and when he felt the cool breeze on his face, he felt like he was alive again.
Qin Wei, who was sleeping soundly next to him, was awakened by his series of actions. He didn't expect that it was already summer when he woke up, so he quickly took off his pajamas.
All the bedding was changed to summer ones, which made it feel better.
Wang Yu in the next room was also woken up by the heat. He got up and turned on the air conditioner while cursing, first cursing God and then cursing the end of the world.
Summer came overnight, and that night, tens of thousands of people in the base were awakened from their sleep by the heat.
Ye Xun changed into a vest and shorts, then stood by the window, watching the snow on the ground outside melt at the speed of light, gathering into a stream of water that directly flooded the third floor.
Since the flood ended last year, no one has lived below the tenth floor. The walls have been soaked in water for a month and will fall to the ground in pieces if touched, making it completely uninhabitable.
Therefore, this snowmelt has little impact on the lives of the base residents.
But some bodies that were frozen to death and buried in the snow were directly washed out this time. The zombies that had been frozen for several months had an extremely foul smell after decaying and also produced toxic substances.
Ye Xun just opened the window a little and was almost suffocated by the smell outside. He quickly closed the window tightly and turned on four air purifiers before he could barely suppress the disgusting smell.
Others don't have it as easy as he does.
Xie Wei's house was like a septic tank that had exploded. It was Xu Feng's fault. He had to open the window to feel the temperature outside. Now it was easy to invite Buddha but hard to send him away. The smell could not be removed. He had poured out half a bottle of toilet water. The whole house was filled with the stench mixed with the smell of Liushen, which made Xie Wei dizzy.
Even the lambs would rather go outside to enjoy the heat than go inside to enjoy the air conditioning.
There was really no other way, so Xu Feng went to Ye Xun to borrow the purifier. Whoever committed the sin should be held responsible.
When there was a knock on the door, Ye Xun went to open it without any precautions. He was immediately vomited by the smell on Xu Feng's body and took three steps back.
The action was too obvious and Xu Feng was hurt by his evasive action, but he had no time to care because his purpose of coming was to borrow the air purifier.
"Brother Ye, do you have an air purifier at home? Our house is stinking and we need to ventilate it urgently."
Even if you don’t tell me, I can tell what happened to you, Ye Xun thought, feeling as if he were soaked in the salt.
"Yes, stand away and I'll give it to you. If the smell from your body drifts in, you'll be dead." Ye Xun warned him sternly.
Xu Feng felt embarrassed at being despised like this. He stood in the aisle with a red face and didn't dare to do anything rash.
The purifier was not heavy and Ye Xun could lift it with one hand, so he did not call Qin Wei for help.
He placed one of the cameras in front of Xu Feng and said, "I only have two at home. I'll keep the other one for my own use. You can use it first."
"That's enough, that's enough. Thank you, Brother Ye. Brother Ye is handsome and kind." Xun Feng thanked him profusely, picked up the machine and ran to the opposite door, not wanting to waste any time.
Removing the odor was indeed an urgent matter, so Ye Xun let him do it.
The smell in the base was much stronger than that in Xie Wei's house. Chen Guoan's recruitment notice had been posted for the whole morning, but few people showed up.
It's not a good idea to keep the corpse soaked in water like this. Maggots will grow. If people live in this kind of environment, they will get sick sooner or later.
There was really no other way, so he stuffed nasal stuffing into his nostrils and cleaned up the bodies with the patrolmen.
Those who had been watching coldly felt embarrassed to stay at home when they saw how hard the base commander, who was in his fifties, was working, and they all came out to help.
With strength in numbers, the dirt in the water was cleaned up in two days. Then the patrol team sat in kayaks and poured disinfectant into the water to cover up the smell.
The temperature continued to rise, and people's daily routines returned to their previous routine of staying out at night and staying asleep during the day. With experience, they adjusted to the jet lag smoothly.
The water level dropped at a rate of 30 centimeters per day. After about a month, the ground was exposed and the migration was about to begin.
Ye Xun had prepared to modify the RV long before the end of the world, just to ensure everyone's quality of life during the migration.
There are cars at the base, but in small numbers, mostly off-road vehicles with high chassis that are not easily bumped into.
But the current population of the base is as high as 80,000. It is simply a fantasy to accommodate them all.
The migration route is more than 2,000 kilometers long, and even if you work without sleep, it will take nearly a month.
After the news of the relocation was released, the base was in an uproar. Some people thought that the tsunami was nonsense. The rivers had dried up, so how much water could there be in the sea?
This group of people advocated staying in base h.
Whether to go or stay is entirely up to personal will. Chen Guoan does not intend to force it, lest these people cause trouble along the way.
In the last few months of the last days, leading them to have enough food was already the most he could do. Besides, he was not their babysitter, so there was no reason for him to chase after them and beg them to go with him.
Everyone has his own destiny.
The leaders in the office discussed for a day and decided to set off in the evening of seven days later. The journey would require passing through three provinces before reaching the destination.
Many people may not be able to survive along the way, but staying would definitely be a dead end. In order to find hope for human survival, they have to go to the plateau.
With seven days left before departure, the patrol team and the office worked separately. The patrol team was divided into two groups: one team went to the underground garages of each community to look for vehicles in good working order, and the other team went to collect gasoline.
The building was almost completely destroyed in the earthquake, and the entrance to the underground garage was filled with rubble, which needed to be cleared by manpower before vehicles could enter and exit.
The few remaining scientific researchers in the base developed a universal car key that is effective for cars with ordinary locks.
Along the way, whenever I came across a car that looked relatively intact, I would open it and give it a try. I would specifically pick SUVs and vans because of their large interior space that could accommodate people.
After seven days, they had gathered nearly a hundred vehicles.
Ye Xun looked at the increasing number of vehicles outside the foundation and wanted to find an opportunity to take out the RV in the space.
On the night before departure, he took Qin Wei and slipped out of the base.
First ride thirty miles on a motorcycle, then take out the super-large RV.
As soon as Qin Wei saw the front of the car, he recognized that it was the big boy. He had been a naughty boy once, and his rebellious period came. Every day he wanted to buy such an RV and raise a wolf to be very cool among his friends.
Later, when I got older, I became more honest. I felt that my rebellious self was like a ghost-fire boy riding a motorcycle on the street, which was so cheap.
He opened the door and went inside. The carriage had been remodeled well. All the extra entertainment equipment had been removed and replaced with cabinets that could hold a lot of food. The room had also been converted into two bunk beds, so it would be no problem even if Ye's father and mother moved in in the future.
The sofa bed is used to entertain guests and can accommodate another person when made flat.
"How did you buy this car? It takes at least a year to buy and pick up a car in China." One year is considered fast. It takes a lot of time and effort to transport this big guy.
This brings us to the unlucky second-generation rich man. Ye Xun proudly told him how he bought the car: "I happened to be lucky enough to meet a second-generation rich man who had failed in investment in City S. He had lost everything and was in urgent need of some funds to turn around, otherwise his father would break his legs. I happened to see him and bought him at 70% off the original price. It was a huge profit."
Qin Wei answered him: "Your luck has always been pretty good, except for this." He tapped Ye Xun's shoulder with his chin, "More than 2,000 kilometers, I don't know if it will have any impact."
In fact, if he didn't mention it, Ye Xun would sometimes forget that he was an injured person. Two months had passed, and during the follow-up examination the day before yesterday, the doctor also said that it was basically healed. In the next few months, as long as he didn't do heavy work, it would not affect his daily life.
But Qin Wei was always prone to anxiety, worrying that the bones he had worked so hard to grow would be broken again during the migration.
"He will be fully healed in a month. He's a young man in his twenties, not an old man in his seventies or eighties. It will be easy for him to recover from this injury." Ye Xun wanted to reassure him, so he advised him.
I don't know if it had any calming effect, but at least I succeeded in shutting him up.
The next day, the great migration began. Sixty thousand people gathered outside the base. Everyone carried large and small bags and lined up to put their luggage on the patrol team's vehicles.
The clothes for extreme heat are thin and light, so they are basically not heavy, so I carry them in a backpack. The heavier food is placed in the car to reduce the burden of walking.
Chen Guoan couldn't bear it, so he left some seeds and breeding rabbits for the 20,000 people who chose to stay in the base. From today on, they parted ways, and whether they lived or died depended on their own luck.
The team set off in a huge procession. Looking down from the sky, it looked like a long dragon lying on the ground.
Ye Xun and his team drove the car and followed at the end of the team. Their car was so conspicuous that when Chen Guoan saw it, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise: "Xiao Ye, where did you get this car? It can hold a lot of people."
"I bought it before the apocalypse and parked it in my hometown. The terrain there is high and it won't be flooded. If I hadn't been going to Province Y, I would have forgotten about it."
Ye Xun didn't care about the mud on the car body at all, and leaned on it. This was smeared on by Wang Yu and Qin Wei overnight. Since it was a show, they had to do it in full.
The car windows were covered with black film, so you couldn't see what was going on inside.
A few people tried to take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the car, but they were forced back by Wang Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, using a Tang sword.
They didn't expect a little girl to be so tough. They were unarmed and couldn't win the fight, so they had to get off the bus in shame.
"We are few in number, and Xiaoyu is a girl, so she will inevitably be treated as a soft persimmon. Why not call Xu Feng and Xie Wei to come with us? With more men in the car, there will naturally be a deterrent effect."
Ye Xun sat on the sofa and watched everything happen. He still had faith in the character of Xu Feng and Xie Wei, and having them around would always do more good than harm.
The reason for making this suggestion is also to hope that someone can rotate with Qin Wei so that he can feel more relaxed.
Qin Wei naturally had no objection. He was happy to have someone to share his burden with.
But Wang Yu is a girl, and she feels a little uncomfortable living among men. So Ye Xun cut the acrylic board, painted it, and dried it with a hair dryer. Finally, he used some connecting props to make a sliding door and installed it on the lower bunk.
A simple little room was ready. Wang Yu instantly put away his dissatisfied expression and rolled on the bed.
"Brother, you have great skills! If you can't find a job in the future, you can be a craftsman!"
Ye Xun's reaction to this was to give her a slap on the face.
