Chapter 82 There is no silver here
"Lu Xingtang? Are you okay? Speak!"
Lu Xingtang was awakened by Ji Yanmo's voice, "I'm fine, how about you?" and quickly got up from Ji Yanmo's arms.
Ji Yanmo groaned, "It's okay."
"Are you really okay?" Lu Xingtang looked at Ji Yanmo. Seeing that Ji Yanmo's coat was scratched and pierced by ice spikes or stones, she didn't care about anything else and checked Ji Yanmo.
Seeing that Ji Yanmo's clothes were worn out but there was no flesh injury, she checked his wrists, ankles, knees, lumbar spine and cervical spine, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that he was fine. She didn't want Ji Yanmo to get into trouble because of her, and she couldn't repay this favor.
When Lu Xingtang was checking Ji Yanmo, Ji Yanmo was also checking Lu Xingtang. Seeing that Lu Xingtang's clothes were slightly damaged and there was a lot of snow on his head, but his hands and feet were not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When Su Cheng saw that Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang were still alive, his worries were relieved: "Lu Xingtang? Ji Yanmo? How are you two? Answer me quickly!"
Lu Xingtang turned around and saw Su Cheng's worried look, and replied: "We are all fine!"
Su Cheng came to the two men and saw that they were indeed fine. The three of them supported each other and returned to their original position. On the way, they picked up a wild boar that had rolled down the hillside. The wild boar was not dead, but Ji Yanmo had stabbed it and it died!
After tying the two wild boars to the sled, they did not leave immediately. Instead, they chopped wood in the mountains. After filling the sled, the three of them slowly went down the mountain and went home.
When they returned home, it was already late at night. Su Hao was standing at the stairs on the 19th floor, holding a gun and leaning on a cane. Lu Xingtang went upstairs first, carrying firewood in his hands. The moment he saw Su Hao, he felt very complicated: "Grandpa Su, Su Cheng is fine. He will be upstairs soon. You go back and wait. It's too cold outside. Su Cheng will be sad if you get sick."
Su Hao asked tremblingly: "Su Cheng is back? Tangtang, don't lie to me!"
"I'll let him go upstairs now!" After Lu Xingtang put the firewood in the aisle, he immediately went downstairs to let Su Cheng go upstairs. When Su Cheng learned that Su Hao was waiting for him at the stairs, his eyes turned red and he ran upstairs carrying a wild boar and a small bundle of firewood.
Lu Xingtang stayed behind to guard the firewood. Even if the military took over the Sunshine Community, they still had to guard against the neighbors stealing the supplies they had worked so hard to find.
After the supplies were delivered upstairs, the three of them returned home to wash, eat, and sleep.
The firewood was divided the next day, and the wild boar was slaughtered and divided equally among the three families. The parts that could not be divided equally were taken to the trading market to exchange for other supplies, and the supplies obtained were divided equally.
After the supplies were divided equally, Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng asked Lu Xingtang to go with them to look for supplies. Lu Xingtang said that he was too tired in the past two days and wanted to rest. Su Cheng said: "Then please help me look after my dad. I'll tell him to turn on the intercom!"
As soon as Su Cheng left, Ji Yanmo's eyes fell on Lu Xingtang. Lu Xingtang smiled awkwardly and said, "Be careful!" Then he closed the door and went into the house.
She didn't know why Ji Yanmo saved her, nor did she want to know. She just suddenly felt that Ji Yanmo's eyes were so hot that she felt uncomfortable.
Lu Xingtang didn't know when Su Cheng and Ji Yanmo left, because she had entered the space and was waving a hoe in it, picking the ripe vegetables and fruits and putting them into the warehouse, trying hard to forget the scene of Ji Yanmo saving her and holding her tightly as he rolled down the mountain.
When Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng came back, they brought back five water towers. As soon as they got downstairs, Ji Yanmo asked her to go downstairs to help carry the water towers.
When Lu Xingtang heard the word "water tower", he felt as if he was hit hard, because the extreme cold was about to end, and when the extreme cold ended, the extreme heat would come.
During periods of extreme heat, supplies become even more scarce. Even more scarce than food is water! Urban drainage systems collapse, and frozen floodwaters reappear, spawning a variety of viruses, as well as corpse beetles, midge larvae, nematodes, water worms, water centipedes, rats, and other microbial parasites.
The insect plague triggered an unprecedented viral disaster, affecting the entire imperial capital. Hospital statistics alone put the death toll from the virus at over five million. As soon as the insect plague and virus were over, water shortages emerged, leading to many deaths from starvation and thirst.
Even when a forest fire broke out near the imperial capital, there was no water to put it out. Later, the government had to go to other places to find water and use airplanes to transport water to the imperial capital to put out the fire.
If there is a water tower, everyone's life will be better. But by that time, the base has been built and the survivors can go to the base to survive.
Lu Xingtang went downstairs and saw the water tower they had found: "Where did you find the water tower? Do you still have it?"
"Yes! The water towers are very large and take up a lot of space, so we can only bring back five. Let's bring the water towers back together tomorrow!" Since the extreme cold came, they have been very frugal with water. They shovel clean snow from the top floor and bring it home. After it melts, they use water purification tablets to purify the water.
If there were a water tower, they could store a lot of water at home and wouldn't have to go upstairs three times a day in the cold wind to shovel snow.
The three of them took the water towers home. Lu Xingtang was assigned one water tower, while Su Cheng and Ji Yanmo each had two water towers.
Lu Xingtang got a water tower without any effort, and felt embarrassed, so he asked for a small water tower.
Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng fulfilled Lu Xingtang's wish, because they were about to leave the imperial capital and found a water tower manufacturer. They not only had water towers, but also buckets of different specifications. They brought back several large-capacity water towers and would continue to move a few more tomorrow.
Because there was firewood in the aisle, it was not easy for Lu Xingtang to pass with the water tank. Ji Yanmo put down his water tank, helped her fix the water tank above her head, and walked over.
"Thank you!" Lu Xingtang thanked politely.
Ji Yanmo was silent for a moment, "Lu Xingtang, are you avoiding me?"
Lu Xingtang shook her head and kept saying, "No, no!" In her heart, she was just avoiding you! Just because she didn't think about some things didn't mean she didn't understand them.
Ji Yanmo said frankly: "I do have a little crush on you, but I didn't realize it before! The moment I saw you being attacked by the wild boar, the string in my heart broke, and I understood! But don't worry, you don't need to hide from me. I never thought about being with you! In the end times, staying alive is the most important thing!"
There is no need to hide from him. He will hide the love that should not appear in the apocalypse, will not disturb the girl he likes, and will not bring trouble to others.
Because in his life plan, there is only survival! There is no love! Lu Xingtang is an exception, but he is not ready to completely accept the existence of exceptions.
Hearing Ji Yanmo say this, Lu Xingtang's uneasy heart immediately slid down: "That's good, let's move the water tower!"
Although he didn't hide from Ji Yanmo, Lu Xingtang still kept a distance from him. This layer of paper was suddenly exposed, and both Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang felt very embarrassed. Even the thick-skinned Su Cheng noticed it. His eyes swept back and forth between them, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he understood: "You two..."
