Chapter 13 13. Multifunctional Shovel
Huaiyu didn’t want a kettle.
To be precise, she currently has limited supplies and is supported by nutrient solution, so her need for clean water is not that urgent.
She thought about it and asked seriously, "If you want to exchange for a multi-purpose shovel, how many do you need? For example, like a mung bean."
A multi-purpose shovel?
Zhou Qian frowned: "Wait a moment, I'll ask the logistics department. We don't have anyone to redeem this, so I don't know much about it."
Huaiyu nodded, carrying the supplies in the big red bucket, and waited obediently.
The logistics department quickly gave the answer -
"350 contribution points are required."
350?! Huaiyu was a little shocked.
She took great pains to dig a hole, but the green beans inside could only be exchanged for 20 to 30 cents. One third of the pile of things in her hand was paid by others.
Now a shovel costs 350 points? Not to mention Huai Yu, even Zhou Qian thinks it's expensive.
But the more expensive it is, the more worth it.
Their multi-functional shovels today are truly multi-functional. They can be used as hoes, pickaxes, window breakers, saws, wrenches, rulers, etc. They have all the functions you expect.
And because they are made of manganese steel, their hardness and durability are incredibly high. If these things are taken out, they can kill people in today's world.
Because of this, even Zhou Qian himself couldn't apply for a loan. What's more, the other party had zero contribution points and had no place to show credit.
At this moment, he could only say to Huai Yu: "You can save some food first and then go back to the market in the city. There should be second-hand farm tools there."
But the other party had clearly dug up even the vole holes, so Captain Zhou actually didn't know how she could generate income.
At this moment, I can only sigh again: "If only you had chosen Jinyuan Community. Although the 30-plus stairs are tiring and the houses don't have doors or windows, there are many people living in the community, and there will be a small trading market, so it's much more convenient for neighbors to communicate with each other here."
More importantly, the first resource in everyone's hands can be exchanged for things other than housing conditions.
And the girl in front of me still lives alone in a thatched hut.
Huaiyu shook his head.
At that time, I was only attracted by the size of the Rose Mansion, but now, after living there for a few days, I can probably understand the current environment of the community.
In her opinion, the reason why the unfinished building is called an unfinished building is because the Jinyuan community was originally planned to have 37 floors.
As a result, the construction was shelved after only reaching the 32nd or 33rd floor. People living in it had nothing but the ground and the roof, and there was not even a partition to separate themselves from the neighbors.
Of course, there are only a few people who can queue up on the top floor, so she can have the whole floor to herself.
But for a single girl to live there, the trouble would definitely be more than the hard work she is putting in now.
She was carrying a bucket and a plastic mineral water bucket, and smiled slightly: "Thank you, Captain brother, thank you, sisters, I'll go back first."
Although second-hand farm tools are attractive, she is someone who needs to go up the mountain, perhaps to dig holes or cut down trees... In short, a multi-functional shovel is more practical.
However, if she went to the mountains to get food, she would not be able to come here to exchange things directly. After all, if the other party asked her how she got to the mountains, she would have no way to answer.
But her house was not fully ready yet, and before the heavy rain came, she did not have enough time to observe the market...
Huai Yu began to worry.
But just as she turned around, she heard Zhou Qian calling her again: "Wait!"
Huaiyu turned around and found that the other party took out a lighter from his pocket and handed it to him: "If you really have nothing to eat, you need a fire to roast the field mouse. Remember to roast it thoroughly."
After all, the girl in front of him didn't look like she could make fire by rubbing two sticks together.
Huaiyu: ...
She took the lighter with a complicated look on her face, and couldn't help but praise him again: "Captain, you are really considerate."
Although she wasn't really that hungry, and didn't want to eat field mice...
…
It took quite a while to walk the more than 3 kilometers, and by the time Huaiyu returned to his tree house, it was already evening.
In early spring, the days are short and the nights are long, and without lighting, the time she has to work is greatly reduced. Now she can only quickly put things in order.
She pulled a thin vine and tied it to the vines that supported the tree house. The first thing she did was to hang up her clean, white new towel.
Wow! Put your toothpaste and toothbrush on the blue bricks nearby, and the atmosphere of life will instantly become rich.
She couldn't use the one-meter-long elastic rope for the time being, so she took it out, tied a knot, and wrapped it around a few times. It took some effort to tie up her messy hair.
He put the remaining things on the haystack and hurried out with the red bucket.
About two minutes' walk down the slope from the tree house, there is a small pond of about three to five acres, with the bottom visible.
But before that, Huaiyu didn't want to touch the water at all except to wash his hands.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Now that she had the container and water purification tablets, she decisively dug out a vine to hang the bucket, and then threw it into the center of the pond. With just a careful and strenuous pull, the big red bucket was 70% full of water.
Perhaps considering her current water storage needs, this red bucket is really big. Even though there is only 65% water left after it was brought into the house, it still looks like it can hold at least 30 liters.
Huaiyu carefully counted out 10 water purification tablets and threw them in. After thinking for a while, he threw in one more tablet and then shook the bucket slightly.
The water purification tablets are decomposing rapidly and the microorganisms in the water are being killed.
According to the original plan, she should have used a towel to do an additional preliminary filtration. After all, water purification tablets only kill microorganisms and insect eggs, etc., and cannot eliminate some impurities in the water.
but……
Forget it, the nutrient solution is enough to keep me alive.
It is very inconvenient for her to go to the toilet now, so she should eat and drink less as much as possible.
Next up…
Now that I have a lighter, I will go and pick up the dead branches and leaves from the distant woods before it gets dark! I can light a fire at night so I don't have to lie down at six or seven o'clock when it gets dark.
Lying down is a very happy thing in itself, but if there is no quilt, you can only get into the sleeping bag to keep warm, and there is no mobile phone...
Huaiyu thought, if she was not strong enough, wouldn't she have to cry every night until dawn?
She dragged the vine net, which was of fairly average workmanship, forward again. The grove ahead was once a lush and flourishing hillside.
After the plants mutated, the Alien Plant Defense Army led everyone to plow the entire Flower City inch by inch, and all the trees in the woods that had shown abnormal movements were cut down.
The reason why the problem is not eradicated is that if the plants are eradicated, the atmospheric environment will change and human beings will also perish.
The current state of half-defense and half-expulsion of the wasteland throughout the country is also based on this consideration.
And there were really only a few bare stubbles left on the hillside, and the rest were some small saplings that were not very viable and were growing again.
Huai Yu was stomping on and breaking off the dry branches that were too many to drag, while looking forward to it:
"When this spring rain is over, the wild vegetables and mushrooms should be out, right?"
Update is here! I got home at 4am, washed up and lay down. I was so tired that I didn’t recover after lying down for a whole day.
The bungee cord has another use. There will be one in the toilet too.
I will resume updating twice a day in a few days, so I will take it slow for the next two days.
