"And firewood. With heavy rain, we need to stockpile enough firewood at our base, especially the canteen. It needs to be full, at least enough for a month. I suggest we stockpile enough for a month and a half or two months. The more the better! After the rain, the base and our homes are damp, so we need to keep things clean to prevent insects from breeding and causing an insect plague! Especially places like public restrooms, they must be cleaned thoroughly."
"Security Question……"
Lu Xingtang talked a lot, and the management staff added areas that needed protection from time to time. After the meeting, each department immediately took action.
Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo inspected the bunkers and tempered glass at the base, and also went out with everyone to chop wood, dig ditches, etc.
The base hospital also distributed a medicine pack containing common medicines to each household, and reminded them that if the cold and fever did not work, they must go to the base hospital. Their doctors were waiting for them at the base hospital, so they should not be reluctant, because they used points to see a doctor anyway.
Lu Xingtang also asked Hu Li to sort out clothes and bedding. If there was a heavy rainstorm, these things would definitely be useful. Clothes and bedding were distributed according to the family's situation. Many of the clothes and bedding were supplies sent from the mountain city base, and some were taken out by Lu Xingtang from the space. They were all ordinary clothes and bedding.
Hu Li looked at the empty warehouse and said, "Fortunately, our base has a clothing factory and a textile factory. Although the clothes they make are not as exquisite and beautiful as before the apocalypse, with a variety of styles, they are definitely enough for all the survivors!"
It was not enough originally, but Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo, two big bugs, helped secretly and took out a lot of clothes and beddings from the space, and that was enough!
There was still half a day before the heavy rain, so Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo checked the ditches, firewood, and supplies with the management to make sure they could hold out for a month. They also arranged for the survivors and soldiers to check the ditches every day and everyone helped each other. Every time they went out to check, they had to be in a group of 20 people, and they had to wear raincoats and take shovels, etc. Lu Xingtang didn't want anyone to be washed away by the flood, so he repeatedly reminded them and only felt relieved after confirming the situation of the protective supplies.
In the middle of the night, a heavy rainstorm came crashing down, waking up everyone in the base. The noise was so loud, especially when it hit the tempered glass that was not closed. The sound was so crisp and regular that no one could sleep well. Everyone got up and stood in front of the window or at the stairs, watching the heavy rain pouring down.
Lu Xingtang leaned against Ji Yanmo's arms, watching the dense rain. The raindrops were the size of peas, ruthlessly hitting the tempered glass and the ground. Looking at the circles of water splashing on the ground, she raised her hand and touched her heart: "Blue Star Heart Tree, the end of the world is coming!"
It's almost 16 years into the apocalypse! If a child is born, they'll be 16 years old, on the verge of adulthood.
Ji Yanmo hugged Lu Xingtang's shoulders tightly and said, "It will eventually end. There's no point in us getting anxious!" They couldn't control when the natural disaster would end!
At eight o'clock in the morning, the sky was foggy and the heavy rain continued to fall. Everyone wore raincoats and held umbrellas when going out to work.
Lu Xingtang, Ji Yanmo and others went to check the ditches and the outside of the bunker without having breakfast. The power of the rainstorm was not that strong at the moment, and the water in the ditches flowed down and slowly poured into the mother river. The bunker was very strong, and the outer wall was wet, but the inside was fine.
The freshwater wells, reservoirs and ponds in the base are all storing water. The daily water consumption is very large, and the water levels of the freshwater wells and reservoirs are gradually decreasing. Now seeing the water level slowly rising, Lu Xingtang and the others are relieved.
When they returned to the base, their steps stopped.
Following Lu Xingtang's gaze, a group of people were kneeling in the rain, kowtowed non-stop, not at all afraid of getting sick from the heavy rain. "God, please give us survivors a chance to live! Even if you're angry, 15 years is enough. There aren't many survivors left among us humans, please have mercy on us and let us go!"
"God, all the gods and Buddhas, I kowtow to you. I sincerely pray that the natural disasters will stop and that we can live a peaceful life! Please don't punish us anymore. We know we are wrong!"
"My wife and children, my parents and friends all died in the natural disasters and man-made calamities. Now I am the only one left alone. If I hadn't been rescued by the land base commander, who told me to live well and live until the end of the apocalypse so that my family and friends could be happy for me, I would have died in the mountain city long ago. I am grateful to have saved my life, but I really can't stand the natural disasters that are hitting us! It's terrible! I really can't bear it!"
"Oh God, please tell me, what exactly should humans do in order for you to let us go and end the apocalypse!"
When Lu Xingtang heard their words, he sighed helplessly. If the gods were useful, the natural disaster would have ended long ago.
Praying to gods is just a psychological comfort. To survive, you have to rely on yourself.
Lu Xingtang walked over and said, "All of you should go back. You'll get sick if you get wet in the rain! The medicine in our base is hard to come by, so don't waste it! Go home, it's the same as praying at home. As long as your heart is sincere enough, the gods will see you! Be obedient and go back immediately!"
When the survivors saw Lu Xingtang and heard his words, they cried even harder: "Base Commander, we really don't have the courage to live anymore. It's too difficult to survive in the apocalypse."
Lu Xingtang comforted them, "I know everyone's hearts are exhausted, but if we don't live well, won't that mean God wins? We humans will be extinct! In fact, you are much happier than most survivors. At least you are still alive, living in the Lancheng base. The base has your protection, and as long as you work hard, you can earn points and obtain supplies!
But what about the other survivors? They're even worse off than you. Not only are they suffering from natural disasters, but they're also constantly surrounded by man-made disasters. They could die at any moment. Every day they're starving, cold, and sleepless, because they could die at any moment! And yet, even in this situation, they haven't given up on living! Your situation is so much better than theirs, so why would you give up? Only by staying alive can you defeat natural disasters!
Other management personnel came up to persuade everyone. With everyone's persuasion, the survivors finally got up and returned to their residence. Lu Xingtang asked the survivors to supervise each other, cheer each other up and encourage each other to live well.
Lu Xingtang knew that everyone had psychological problems, so he found someone with a good mentality to be the announcer, and asked them to read inspirational stories to everyone every day to relieve their psychological pain and let them live a sunny and more positive life.
The first day of the heavy rain passed smoothly. On the second day, Lu Xingtang had the tempered glass in all major planting areas blocked and continued to be exposed to heavy rain. The vegetables, fruits and grains in the planting areas would all be drowned.
