Chapter 22 Extreme Heat, Rat Infestation
The walls of the house were covered with rat holes each half the size of a fist, and the scorching sunlight shot in like lasers.
Jiang Si mixed cement with his father, his mother and grandmother carried disinfectants to disinfect the house a second time, and his grandfather stepped on the stairs and filled the rat holes with wall putty.
Dahei was feeding Xiaohei, the atmosphere was warm, though a little hot.
There are a thousand boxes of mineral water and two hundred large water barrels in Jiang Si's space, which are used to supply water for the farmland in the space and for their family's daily life. The water used for making ice for cooling is consumed even faster.
According to the trajectory of her previous life, the pure water she stored was enough to last until the extremely hot day passed and the rain returned.
Then she can reserve water again.
After all, her space is not static. Even if the water barrel can be sterilized, two years of storage time is the limit.
Unexpectedly, the end of the world suddenly came earlier than expected, and all the orderly plans were disrupted.
Afraid that the extreme heat would last much longer than in his previous life, Jiang Si did not dare to use water lavishly.
Let’s wait and see. If it doesn’t work, she will go find a water source.
In her previous life, Jiang Linhai discovered the location of groundwater in the forest, and she still remembered it.
It took the whole morning for the whole family to repair the mouse hole.
The chives in Jiang Si's space were growing well, so she went in and cut two large bunches, and then took a few eggs from the double-door refrigerator.
Jiang Si handed the ingredients to Shen Baoying: "Mom, the leeks are fresh, let's make leek boxes to eat."
Shen Baoying smiled and nodded: "Okay, Mom will cook the multi-grain porridge first."
Jiang Si went to the kitchen with her to make dog food for Dahei.
There was not much dry firewood left in the kitchen, so she took out the coal.
Shen Baoying said with a pained look, "Use less coal. Once the rats are gone, ask your father to chop more firewood."
Jiang Linhai heard this and picked up the washed leeks and said, "I'll go chop some now. The temperature in the forest shouldn't be that high. If I chop down one tree, it will be enough for us to use for several days."
Jiang Si sighed, "Dad, don't be anxious. Look outside, there are so many people staring at us covetously. How long can our family's supplies last?"
"Bang—"
The window was smashed with a loud bang by a stone.
Dahei kept barking wildly, Jiang Si ran upstairs quickly, and Jiang Chengwu raised his gun to intimidate the crowd outside the courtyard wall who were approaching madly.
“Bang, bang—”
Two gunshots rang out in succession, killing two people, but more and more people gathered outside the courtyard wall. Their scarlet eyes and mottled red faces made them look like zombies who had lost their minds.
Jiang Chengwu looked at Jiang Si, his brows furrowed. "Why aren't they afraid of death?"
Jiang Si took out the explosive pack from the space and said, "Then let them all die!"
Among those who were frantically climbing and smashing their walls, there were countless familiar faces, relatives in the village.
Jiang Chengwu paused holding the explosive pack, but Jiang Si had already lit the fuse and threw it out neatly.
"Bang--"
Screams were heard along with smoke and dust. Jiang Si injured several people with just one bomb.
Even so, there are still many people who would try their best to climb into their house.
Looking at the scene outside the courtyard wall that looked like a city surrounded by zombies, Shen Baoying's face turned pale. She pointed at Li Cui, who had a strange look on her face, and said, "Have they mutated?"
Jiang Si distributed the explosive packs to them and then said, "No, they must have eaten rats and got hemorrhagic fever."
Shen Baoying was terrified: "Then why do they keep rushing towards our house?"
"Maybe they all think that we still have medicine at home. Without medicine, they will die. They try their best and snatch the medicine from us, maybe they can still survive." Jiang Si frowned and said.
Even though the people were disfigured and covered in blood, they still rushed forward. No one knew what was supporting them.
Grandma sighed reluctantly, "Even if they robbed us, with so many people, how much medicine would they have? Hemorrhagic fever won't be cured in a short time."
"Everyone has a lucky mentality, what if they survive?"
Jiang Si looked coldly and threw several more explosive packs in a row, and screams came one after another.
Li Cui supported her weak body and gave the whole family a sinister look, "Let's wait until their explosives are gone before we charge up."
The people in front were all dead, so there was no one to compete with them.
Li Cui waited and waited, watching group after group of people screaming and running away. It seemed like there was no end to the explosives in Jiang Si's house.
I don't know where they got so much explosives.
No wonder Jiang Si has the capital to be so arrogant.
Ding Sheng licked his cracked lips and said timidly, "Mom, let's try to find a solution somewhere else. Hemorrhagic fever won't necessarily kill you if you endure it."
Jiang Si was furious at Zhang Mayi's shouting. He was so ruthless that he didn't care about anyone. If he got close to him, he would surely die.
Li Cui glared at him fiercely. "You're young and strong, so you can get through it, but what about your mother and me? What about Junjun, Meimei, and the others? They have explosive packs at home, all of them shiny and slippery. They must also have a lot of medicine and food hidden in the house. If we just rush in, our whole family will be saved!"
A sudden palpitation came over Ding Sheng, who retched more than a dozen times and was too exhausted to stand up. "But we can't get in at all!"
"Yes, Mom, why don't we go into the city and think of a solution?" said the eldest daughter-in-law.
Li Cui pointed in the direction of Longquan County. "It'll take us at least several hours to walk there. We have no water or cars, and we're all getting sick. The temperature is so high, can you guys hold out? Can the children hold out? People in the city are all flocking to our remote corner of Kara for food. If we really go there, cough cough cough... we'll probably die faster than in the village!"
"If you don't want to die, just listen to Mom, there will definitely be a chance!"
"boom--"
The courtyard wall could not withstand the continuous bombing and finally collapsed with a big hole.
Zhang Qingzhi was shocked and guilty. "Sisi, what should I do? I blew up the wall, they're going to come in from there!"
Without a wall to block it, if they throw more missiles, their own home will be blown up.
Jiang Si replied calmly: "Don't worry, if they break in, we will get out. As long as no one is hurt, that's fine."
While they were talking, Li Cui had already rushed to the bottom of Jiang Si's building with her whole family and was trying to figure out how to open the locked door.
It's getting dark soon, and it will definitely be more dangerous to leave home.
Jiang Chengwu picked up the nail gun and said, "I'll go down and deal with them!"
Jiang Si stopped his grandfather, calmly took out the empty medicine box, and filled it with half a bag of cement. "I have a solution."
Jiang Si threw the medicine box down from the upstairs and the medicine boxes scattered all over the floor. Li Cui was so excited when she saw the life-saving fever-reducing medicine. The moment she rushed to grab the medicine, other people also saw the medicine on the floor.
Li Cui rushed over and grabbed a box of medicine. The crazy crowd stepped on her and "crack" Li Cui's wrist was broken. She screamed in pain and the medicine box in her hand was snatched away.
Ding Sheng grabbed a box of medicine, but before he could feel happy, he was pinned to the ground and punched twice.
His tightly clenched palms were pried open little by little. Seeing that the medicine box was about to be snatched away, Ding Sheng saw his wife vomiting blood. His resolute will suddenly burst out. He bit the man's wrist and ran away quickly with his wife.
Before he could even take two steps, his two younger brothers pushed him to the ground: "Junjun is still waiting to take his medicine!"
"Meimei is only five years old, so young. Give me the medicine first!"
