Chapter 28 Can space be used like this?
Moreover, it is inexpensive and of good quality, only a few dozen yuan each.
Qiao Lan was very happy. He paid in cash and bought all the stock in the store.
At this time, when it came time to arrange the living quarters, he took out three toilets and a large pile of wholesale clean plastic bags and told Xiao Li to arrange them.
"Once the room is furnished, put them in the corner. This living room is large enough to separate it into a bathroom."
Why three?
Three people, one dedicated room each, private and hygienic.
We have a large space, a lot of money, and a lot of inventory. There is no need for three people to squeeze into one toilet, and we don’t have to queue up to go to the toilet after getting up.
He then handed Xiao Li a broom and mop, and filled the bucket with water. "Just clean it up briefly, and you can take your time to set it up."
After saying that, he took Xiao Tang out to clear the passage.
In addition to making himself live more comfortably, Qiao Lan was so busy arranging the residence mainly to find some strenuous work for his two friends so that they could temporarily forget the tragic ruins outside.
The worse the environment is, the more people need to do things.
Only by being busy and working hard can you offset your chaotic thoughts.
Otherwise, in the face of major disasters, it is too easy to become mentally unbalanced, emotionally broken, and self-destructive.
If Xiao Tang hadn't been by her side in her previous life, Qiao Lan wasn't sure if she would have been too mentally fragile to accept the end of the world and would have committed suicide like so many others.
In the early days of the apocalypse, there were so many people committing suicide.
Woo woo woo——
As I came out of the basement, a sharp whistle of wind came towards me.
Even through the ruins of bricks and stones, Qiao Lan felt a chill from the strong wind that came in through the cracks.
It's starting to blow hard outside.
The vents in the basement were closed and the cracks were blocked, so the wind wasn't that strong. Only when I came out at this time did I feel the force of the wind firsthand.
"Are you cold?"
Before Qiao Lan came out, she put on a windproof jacket for herself and Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang shook his head to indicate that he was not cold.
The two men braved the wind and began to clean the bricks and stones outside the door.
The wall bricks that collapsed from above are stacked in a mess. If you remove a brick at the bottom, more may fall from above. It is very dangerous.
Moreover, strong winds will blow bricks and stones from other places, making the ruins even worse.
So this job has to be done very carefully and skillfully.
But we have to do it.
In order to ensure that the three people can enter and exit the safe house smoothly during the storm and the period that follows, the passage leading to the outside world from the door of the safe house must be cleared and reinforced.
Otherwise it would be too tiring to squeeze and crawl every time.
And if you are hit by collapsed bricks and rocks while climbing, it would be terrible.
"Sister Lan, I'll do it myself. You go and help Xiao Li decorate the room."
Xiao Tang advised again, fearing that Qiao Lan would be in danger.
Qiao Lan laughed: "Without me, you really can't do this job by yourself. If you don't believe me, try moving this wall."
She pointed to a piece of broken wall brick blocking the road where the flashlight illuminated it.
Xiao Tang knelt down, using all his strength to push against the broken wall. His veins bulged and he was instantly covered in sweat.
However, the remaining walls remained motionless.
"You back off."
Qiao Lan pulled Xiao Tang away and asked him to hide. With a thought, he directly put the wall into the space.
"?"
Xiao Tang watched in shock as the half-man-high wall bricks in front of him disappeared.
Click!
Without a support at the bottom, the two large pieces of broken wall above fell down again.
Before Xiao Tang could scream, Qiao Lan quickly collected all the fallen bricks and stones.
Not only did it not hit them, but it also cleared a half-person-high passage in front of the two of them.
"Sister Lan, can you use your portable space... in this way?" Xiao Tang was completely dumbfounded.
In the novel, the space is a storage room where you can put things in and take things out, just like carrying a large invisible backpack with you.
But who has ever seen anyone put rubble in his bag?
"Sure." Qiao Lan said, "My space is very useful."
Not only can it be used to store goods, but it can also be used to clear roads and build infrastructure, and it can also be used to hide murder scenes.
So next, she was responsible for dealing with the large bricks and stones that were difficult to move, and Xiao Tang was responsible for using a shovel, hoe, and the like to clean up the places that could be pried and dug.
After working for about an hour, we finally cleared the passage from the basement door to the street outside.
The entrance was concealed by a pile of bricks and tiles to create an impenetrable camouflage.
The passage inside is not a straight line. In order to prevent accidental intrusion, it has several twists and turns, as well as obstacles and traps such as mousetraps.
The passage is half a person's height and you need to bend down to pass through.
The ruins above and around it remain basically in their original state. From the outside, it looks like just a two-story building that was unfortunately damaged.
Who knows what's inside?
"I'm so tired and hungry! Let's eat!"
After finishing work and returning to the basement, Qiao Lan started saying he was hungry as soon as he entered the door.
"Xiao Li, you decorated the house really well!"
In the past half day, Xiao Li has already taken shape of the safe house.
Using the screens and partitions Qiao Lan had found, he created three bedrooms, a living room and dining room, and an activity area in the hall. In the corner, a curtain was installed to hold the toilet.
The floor and floor mats were wiped clean and there was no dust at all.
The bedding in the bedroom is neatly made, and the soft pillows and quilts make it look very warm.
The bedside tables, clothes hangers and wardrobes are all complete and very clean.
Tableware and kitchen utensils are neatly placed on the table next to the living room and dining room.
"Sister Lan, do you think it's okay? Is the bed positioned properly?"
Xiao Li was also tired and sweating, but his face looked rosy, much better than his pale face before.
"It's suitable. Not bad. Come and wash your hands and eat."
Qiao Lan searched the space, "There are spicy hot pot, hot pot, home-cooked dishes, barbecue, buns, dumplings... What do you want to eat?"
"Anything."
Both of them said that they mainly prefer Qiao Lan flavor.
"Then let's have rice and side dishes? Six dishes and one soup for a table." Qiao Lan took out the set meal he had bought from a home-style restaurant.
Rice, fish-flavored shredded pork, stir-fried green beans, stir-fried snow peas, braised pork knuckle, lamb in sour soup, and cold cucumber and tofu shreds.
Plus a big bowl of tomato egg drop soup.
Generous portion and bright color.
The space has a fresh-keeping function, and the food is still steaming when you take it out.
But Qiao Lan felt that it would taste better if it was heated up and stir-fried. After all, it had been packed in a fast food box, so how could it be as delicious as when it was just off the heat?
"Let's use our microwave ovens and electric frying pans."
As if in response to her.
Click.
There is a power outage.
The basement room suddenly became dark.
Qiao Lan slapped her thigh: "Hey, what a coincidence!"
On the day of the storm, the city's power system was indeed gradually paralyzed.
Power outages hit one district after another.
There was no way around it, the electrical wires and substation facilities were all damaged by the strong wind.
The power outage happened just when she wanted to heat up her meal.
"How about we just eat it like this?" Xiao Li and Xiao Tang had suffered too much psychological shock today and had no interest in eating.
Qiao Lan can't do it.
Qiao Lan was starving in the apocalypse, and after his rebirth, he never missed any opportunity to enjoy delicious food.
Eat as much as you can.
Eating well is a pride she will never give up.
With a clang, a small portable household generator, diesel type, with a hand-pull starter, appeared in the space.
It started to open with a clatter.
The noise is a bit loud, but you can bear with it for a while.
Qiao Lan put all the food into the pot.
Xiao Li has followed instructions and covered the dining table with a brand new daisy-patterned tablecloth.
Six dishes and one soup were served.
The heat is rising.
Qiao Lan picked up the chopsticks and started eating!
Meow, meow...
A faint cry was heard.
