Chapter 41 Extreme Heat, Refuge Camp
Lu Zhifeng was shocked: "It's been hot for so long, the possibility of a heavy rainstorm is really high."
"I'll go back and pack up now and move back to the village with Niuniu."
He actually wanted to live with Jiang Si and the others, but Jiang Si and the others didn't have that intention, so they tactfully didn't say anything to embarrass him.
Under the floor of their house, he also secretly stored guns and ammunition, so if they really encountered danger, they would still be able to protect themselves.
Jiang Si nodded: "Well, if there is a strong wind, the watchtower will be very dangerous, so it is better to move it down."
Lu Zhifeng and Niu Niu moved back to the village that night, and spent several days slowly moving the things from the watchtower to the village.
They also tried their best to search for useful things in the village to reinforce the doors, windows and top floor, and also made temporary drainage arrangements on the first floor like Jiang Si's family did.
Their house has been under construction for many years and they don't live in it very often. Lu Zhifeng was afraid that there would be serious water leakage on the first floor, so he moved all the important things in the house to the second floor.
He also collected some lightweight wooden boards to make life-saving buoys for himself and Niu Niu, and to improve Niu Niu's ability to respond when encountering water.
At other times, I also learn from Grandma Jiang Si and use woven bags to grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, mushrooms, and leeks.
But there were no insulation panels in their house, nor did Jiang Si use ice cubes to cool it down from time to time. Apart from the giant mushrooms growing mycelium in their house, there was no movement at all.
Lu Zhifeng was not discouraged and planned to ask Qin Shen where he found the cactus fruit. If this thing could be grown, he could also grow some cacti.
Not only are cactus fruits edible, but the skin of the cactus can also be peeled off and eaten as a vegetable. It is rich in moisture and has a high yield when it blooms and bears fruit.
Jiang Si also told Qin Shen about the prediction of possible heavy rain.
This life is different from the previous one, and she cannot predict it accurately. She is not afraid that Qin Shen will suspect how she knew it.
Qin Shen and Lu Zhifeng had similar reactions. They actively repaired the house and went into the forest from time to time to bring back some collected mutant plants, small prey, salt stones... and exchanged some daily necessities with Jiang Si's family.
After confirming that the water here was drinkable, Kuang Jiaying gradually moved the refugee camp to Longquan Village.
There are more than 120 households in Longquan Village. In addition to the houses of Qin Shen, Lu Zhifeng, Jiang Si and others, many people move in every day.
At least twenty people live in one household.
Both familiar and unfamiliar people lived in a large dormitory.
The weather was already hot, and the room was filled with all sorts of smells.
Lin Zu's family was crammed into a shelter, with only two meals a day, long queues for going to the toilet, and they couldn't even straighten their legs when sleeping.
After waiting for a long time, we finally received the notification that a water source had been found and there was a way to solve the problem of solar radiation.
Everyone was happy to move there and start a new life. After following the team for a few hours, they returned to Longquan Village.
The village was used as a refugee camp base, and the house that originally belonged to their family was also requisitioned by the authorities.
They clearly have a home, but they have to continue to squeeze into a large bunk bed with others, and every breath is filled with shit, urine and fart.
Although the conditions are slightly better than before, they are not much better.
Luo Yong's family was also shocked.
Unexpectedly, the village where we desperately fled became a refugee camp base.
They all went to Song Hui to explain the situation and asked to return to their own home.
In this way, they don’t have to squeeze together with others, nor do they have to obey official orders to dig canals and build houses in exchange for food.
There is water at the base, so they can just figure out how to grow something.
Before them, many people had already looked for Song Hui.
He said bluntly: "From the moment you left here and accepted the help of the refugee camp, it means that everything here has nothing to do with you. It is the country that has found a new place suitable for you to live."
"If you do not accept the country's arrangements, you can leave the refugee camp now."
Leave the shelter!
How can they survive without water, food or shelter?
After hearing the warning in Song Hui's words, everyone gave up the idea of going back to their house for the time being.
If they insist on causing trouble and getting the house back, no one will be there to take care of them, and they probably won't be able to protect even the few things they have.
Everyone left in shame.
In the next two days, because Lin Zu was a veterinarian, he got a job looking after the livestock in the shelter. He earned ten points a day, which was just enough for him to eat, but the work was not tiring and it was the coolest place in the entire shelter.
It is said that in order to allow the remaining chickens, ducks and rabbits to reproduce well, several thick layers of insulation boards were added.
On his first day at work, he moved directly into the chicken coop and never went back, feeling very lucky.
Maybe, there is a chance to steal an egg to satisfy your craving.
It wasn't until he accidentally saw the fire lit in Jiang Si's house at night.
He asked Jiao Kuangwen whether there were also twenty people living in Jiang Si's house.
Jiao Kuangwen was humiliated by Jiang Si and unilaterally made enemies. He sneered, "My family is different from yours. They don't have to do anything and can eat and drink well and live in a big villa."
Lin Zu's eyes widened, his face full of anger!
Why!
They are all from the same village. Jiang Si and his men are murderers, but they can become the Jade Emperor in the refugee camp.
“That’s not fair!”
Jiao Kuangwen scoffed, "What's unfair about that? He never left Longquan Village in the first place, and even made contributions. He was protected by our battalion commander and received thousands of kilograms of food. He's very lucky."
He deliberately wanted to tell Lin Zu so that Lin Zu would cause trouble for Jiang Si and the others.
If Jiang Si and others make mistakes, they can be punished.
Thousands of kilograms of food!
It's an astronomical figure for everyone nowadays.
Lin Zu was so jealous and envious that he immediately ran back to tell Lin Chenghua.
Lin Chenghua's arm was shot by Jiang Si and he couldn't even lift his hand.
Hearing that Jiang Si and the others were living so well, he gnashed his teeth in anger: "Let's go! Call some people to go with us! Let's live in their house together and eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!"
Lin Zu hesitated a little: "I heard that the battalion commander is protecting them."
Lin Chenghua's eyes flashed with sinister intent: "What kind of protection is that? Just because we're all human beings, we get to be treated specially! If we can't live in Jiang Si and his family's house, then they must return the house to us!"
“That was our house!”
The more Lin Chenghua thought about it, the angrier he became!
Even if there are people patrolling and guarding Longquan Village to maintain order.
Jiang Si still didn't dare to let his guard down, and he and his family would take turns observing from the window every day.
Jiang Si was teaching her mother how to break free from someone's grip when Jiang Linhai's voice suddenly rang out from upstairs: "Beware!"
Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing, dressed neatly, and picked up their weapons.
Even Xiao Hei and Da Hei ran to the door, baring their teeth and waiting fiercely.
After a while, Jiang Si heard noisy sounds coming from outside the door.
Lin Zu shouted from outside, "Your house is so big, but you only have a few of you living here. It's a waste of everyone's resources! We're all from the same village, let us move in!"
