Chapter 87 Chapter 87
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have the conditions. It's good enough to be full, how dare I ask for more?" Chen Guoan pointed at the seafood on the table, "This is all thanks to Xiaoye. I'm just borrowing flowers to offer a token of my gratitude. Xiaoye, let's have a drink."
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
Under his piercing gaze, Ye Xun had no choice but to block Qin Wei's hand that was about to take the wine glass and drink it all.
The spicy liquid travels through the esophagus and stomach, causing a burning sensation.
It was Ye Xun who suggested bringing the wine. How could there be no wine for such a happy occasion of moving into a new house?
Now he has shot himself in the foot. Since Chen Guoan has set a precedent, people are lining up to drink with him.
Ye Xun's alcohol tolerance was poor, so the redness did not show up on his face. After the second glass, there was no blush on his fair face, but his eyes could no longer focus, and the redness kept floating around in his eye sockets and could not stay still.
When Qin Wei noticed his abnormality, it was too late. Ye Xun had just finished the third glass of white wine, and the next second, he lay motionless on the table like a puppet with its strings cut.
With a 'dong' sound, the laughter at the table was paused, and everyone's attention was drawn to Ye Xun.
Qin Wei quickly lifted his head up. His forehead was red due to the external force.
These people had not expected that Ye Xun's alcohol tolerance was so low. The wine glass that went with the liquor was very small, and three glasses were barely enough for one or two ounces. He actually drank until he collapsed.
Qin Wei picked up Ye Xun and said to Chen Guoan with an apologetic tone, "I didn't know that Ah Xun would fall down after drinking. I'll take him back first. You guys drink slowly."
The people at the table were not the type to urge someone to drink. Seeing that Ye Xun was indeed not in good condition, they did not try to persuade him to stay. "If you have any sobering medicine, go back and give some to Xiao Ye. Otherwise, you will have a headache tomorrow morning. It's not pleasant."
"Thank you Uncle Chen for the reminder." Qin Wei thanked him politely, but based on Ye Xun's condition, he probably wouldn't be able to get any sobering medicine.
The location Chen Guoan chose to build his house was not far from the courtyard, about ten minutes away. Along the way, Ye Xun quietly nestled in Qin Wei's arms, his eyes closed, not making any noise, which was a relief.
Passing by the courtyard, the thermometer hanging on the wall showed 40 degrees. The temperature has started to drop in the past few days. I don’t know if Mr. and Mrs. Ye can come back before the extreme cold comes.
By that time, the sea will be frozen and the huge ship will be unable to move. That will be troublesome because the food on the ship will always run out and sooner or later they will kill each other for food.
Everything needs to be planned early.
Qin Wei carried Ye Xun into the bedroom, wiped his cheeks with a wet towel, and adjusted him into a comfortable position.
After doing this, he returned to Chen Guoan.
The other party was surprised to see him come back instead of staying at home to look after Ye Xun.
Just as he was about to ask, Qin Wei interrupted him and said, "The temperature has been dropping these days. I wonder if you have noticed it? Although the speed is slow, it will drop below zero sooner or later. I suggest that we fence off the land as soon as possible. By the time others arrive, it will be too late."
This piece of grassland is only a few thousand square meters and cannot accommodate the number of people on ten giant ships. Only those who arrive first can obtain the right to live there.
Chen Guoan understood what Qin Wei said, but the excitement of landing made him a little relaxed.
Not only he, but others also agreed to build the wall.
From the moment they gave up boarding the ship, they felt that their mission had been accomplished and now they just wanted to live for themselves and their families.
A group of people with strong execution ability, they do what they say. The next day, Ye Xun woke up, holding his head that was about to split open with pain, but he didn't find Qin Wei.
Not only Qin Wei, but everyone else was missing as well.
Could it be that some disaster had happened again? He was feeling uneasy and was just thinking about going further to have a look when Qin Wei appeared, covered in mud.
Ye Xun looked at the man walking towards him and reached out to touch his head, but gave up because of the dirt on his hands.
"I left some food for you in the fridge, have you eaten it?"
I drank some alcohol last night and was worried that he would have an upset stomach, so I made food that was easily digestible.
Ye Xun had just opened the refrigerator, so he naturally saw it, but he didn't eat it. "I don't really want to eat it. I feel bloated and have no appetite."
Moreover, my head hurts, as if I was kicked. I dare not take painkillers for fear that I will be sent away directly.
"What are you doing so early in the morning? No one is around."
"Build the wall. The temperature is slowly dropping now. People from other large ships will go ashore sooner or later. Before that, build the wall first. Only then can safety be guaranteed."
After he said this, Ye Xun realized that the temperature was indeed not that hot recently. He turned around to look at the thermometer on the wall, and it was only 36 degrees.
Nowadays, the temperature difference between morning and evening is not big, generally fluctuating around four degrees. It is estimated that it will drop below zero degrees in about a month.
"Then I'll come and join you guys after I fill my stomach."
Headaches can be tolerated, but Ye Xun can't stand it if he is left with nothing to do every day.
Qin Wei knew that he wanted to find something to do. He was really suffocated on the boat before, so he didn't intend to dissuade him. He just asked him to do it within his ability.
"If you really can't hold on, go back and rest, don't force yourself."
"Of course, I'm not a fool. I take good care of my own body."
Qin Wei left halfway just to check on Ye Xun's situation. Seeing that he was fine, he felt relieved and went back to continue building the wall.
Ye Xun heated up the food in the refrigerator in the microwave, ate it hastily until he was 70% full, and then stopped forcing himself to eat.
According to Chen Guoan's idea, building a wall ten meters outward from the grassland would not only increase the amount of land for planting, but also accommodate more people.
However, when deciding which people to accept, many factors need to be considered, including their character and network of relationships. People with poor character and complicated networks of relationships do not meet the admission requirements.
With more than a dozen people working together, the wall was built quite quickly. By the time the first group of people appeared, the wall was already two meters high.
Ye Xun saw that he had no reaction to Chen Guoan and the others, as if he did not know them, and concluded that they were not the group of people who boarded the giant ship.
The plateau of Province X is vast, and there must be more than just them in the base. Building a giant ship is not a problem, and it is normal for others to survive.
However, the living standards of the people in these bases don’t seem to be very good. They are all skin and bones, like mummies.
When they saw the eyes of Ye Xun and others, they were so fanatical and abnormal, as if they had met human zombies and wanted to pounce on them and bite them.
If Qin Wei didn't have a weapon in his hand, Ye Xun was sure that these people would attack them.
Qin Wei had good eyesight and could clearly see the raw flesh residue stuck between their fingernails and teeth. One could imagine how they had managed to survive all this time.
Seeing them completely losing their humanity, he felt cold in his heart. Could they still be called human beings? Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them devils.
A two-meter-high wall cannot completely block these people. The wall must continue to be built, which means that the stone-digging team needs to have more people. Qin Wei is worried that he cannot defend against these people.
When he showed his five pistols, fifteen of them looked at him in unison with shock on their faces, as if to say, what other surprises do you have that they don't know about?
