Chapter 232 Reconstruction Plan



Facing his sister's doubts, Huo Yishen explained, "The sun is covered by dark clouds."

The lightning at the end of the world was extraordinary. For safety reasons, Jiang Ning simply did not even use the solar lamp and took out a kerosene lamp from the space and lit it.

The light is dim and yellow, but it is also a light in the darkness.

Doudou was curious, "Sister-in-law, what is this?"

This is an antique from the past. Jiang Ning told her about the hard times she went through as a grandmother...

Outside, there were dark clouds covering the sun and thundering, and inside the house, candlelight was swaying and human shadows were overlapping.

Doudou snuggled in Jiang Ning's arms. The dog, frightened by the thunder and lightning, burrowed into the trainer's arms, "Woo woo woo..."

The little kid has taken over his poop scooper.

The thunder and lightning lasted for half an hour, and then the thick dark clouds retreated.

The light soon returned, but the heavy rain continued.

The temperature of the water dropped. It was no longer as scalding as before, but instead had a slight coolness.

The water storage continued, and the brother and sister were responsible for fetching water. The dog ran happily in the heavy rain, which made Jiang Ning almost want to give up.

The refugees in the resettlement camps didn’t have much belongings. They were so thirsty that they rushed into the rainstorm, looking up desperately to drink water and wash their dirty and smelly bodies. “It’s raining, it’s finally raining.”

Some were laughing, some were crying, and some were spinning in the rain, looking crazy.

Doudou squatted in front of the planting pot, his little face full of worry, "Sister-in-law, can the sweet potato seedlings still survive?"

"It should be possible. We'll know tomorrow."

It was indeed very hot when the rainstorm first came, but there was a sunshade, so it was unlikely that you would be scalded to death.

The annoying thing is that as soon as the rain stopped, the heat from the ground kept rising up, turning on the sauna mode again.

It's hot and sticky, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Go back to the room and turn on the air conditioner.

Just as he turned on the light to take a break, Huo Yishen came over and asked, "Are you burned?"

Jiang Ning touched his face and said, "No, the redness has faded."

The next day, the sun was still shining brightly, blinding our eyes.

Jiang Ning stayed at home while Huo Yishen took his sister to class. Gouzi went downstairs to take a walk. He ran around Aoyuan for more than twenty laps before coming back. He even climbed up a tree to help Xiao Ming catch a red-eyed mouse that had escaped and almost got bitten to death by it.

At noon, the brother and sister came back with the dog.

Huo Yishen washed his hands before the meal, "Aning, it doesn't seem that hot today."

"Is there?" Jiang Ning was wearing a thermostatic suit and enjoying the air conditioning, so he really didn't notice it.

Huo Yishen didn't notice it at first, but the dog's reaction was quite obvious, and its tongue didn't stick out that long anymore.

Jiang Ning actually took a thermometer to the balcony to measure the temperature, which was 58 degrees.

It really dropped, even if it was only 2 degrees.

It's normal for the temperature to drop after a heavy rain.

In the evening, Jiang Ning, who was lying exhausted, came down carrying a bucket.

After the flood, the groundwater level rose significantly, and well water continued to emerge from the ground in unlimited supply.

So Jiang Ning ran several times.

There was a shortage of water at the resettlement camp, so He Tianming gathered together a batch of pots, pans, and utensils collected during the earthquake rescue efforts and sent them over.

Several iron barrels were crushed, but they were still usable after being knocked back into place.

The temperature continues to drop, about one or two degrees a day.

When the temperature dropped to 55 degrees, the survivors who had been suffering from the high temperature of 60 degrees for a long time felt much more comfortable.

Human life is truly tenacious. They managed to hold on miraculously, and after not lacking water for several days, their bodies actually got much better.

Some people even went out in teams to collect supplies from nearby collapsed buildings or villages, picking up some clothes or bowls and pots.

The high temperature continued, but the water level dropped less significantly than before. The authorities reorganized people to dig wells, and the large-scale project to get water from Huicheng came to an end.

The earthquake relief work has come to an end. The municipal government has replanned a new direction and announced to all citizens - the city will be rebuilt.

After investigation and exploration, it was found that Fengcheng Wangwan was the least affected by the earthquake and would become the new urban area of ​​Fengcheng.

Wangwan is close to Yuecheng, more than 40 kilometers away from the old city, and is a semi-developed remote urban area.

Jiang Ning was curious, "Is Wangwan a new urban area?"

She had heard about the reconstruction plan in her previous life, but she was massacred before the work even started.

Huo Yishen nodded, "It is a new city district, but its scale is far less than one-fifth of the old city district. However, it is not far from the new city district of Yuecheng, so it is considered to be in the same city, and we can take care of each other."

One fifth? Not bad, actually.

After three years of natural and man-made disasters, less than 30% of the people actually survived, and many of them went to the base.

But even so, not everyone is qualified to settle in the new urban area.

Now only the reconstruction has been announced, and the official calls on survivors to collect building materials in exchange for points. The points can be exchanged for food, and when a certain amount is accumulated, it can be exchanged for a place to buy a house.

However, the required materials and corresponding points have not yet been announced.

At the same time, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences is once again recruiting on a large scale, with homeless refugees being given priority.

Don't underestimate the Agricultural Science Institute. They have been working hard to carry out indoor and outdoor planting and have saved a lot of food, especially dried vegetables.

The dumplings that refugees eat every day are thanks to them.

Giving priority to their recruitment not only solves the employment problem, but also addresses security risks.

If we don't give them jobs, they will sooner or later become a nuisance to society.

The Academy of Agricultural Sciences also appealed to other survivors that the global environment continues to be disordered and the recovery cycle is relatively long, so humans must be prepared for a protracted war.

Typhoons, floods, extreme cold and heat, earthquakes, and possibly acid rain or alkalinity in the future require us to store as much food as possible under limited conditions to resist unpredictable natural disasters.

To put it bluntly, it means farming and hoarding food.

The Institute of Agricultural Sciences has promised to distribute seeds to survivors as soon as possible.

Jiang Ning guessed that there were not enough seeds.

After the earthquake, there will be a few months of peace and tranquility, that is, normal seasonal climate.

She asked Huo Yishen, "What's behind it?"

"Two years of polar day, three years of polar night, then smog and acid rain..."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "It's okay during the polar day. The light can speed up the growth of crops, giving the survivors a two-year respite."

Unexpectedly, Huo Yishen's face looked strange.

"What's wrong?" Could it be that Polar Day is going to cause trouble again?

"The four seasons are too distinct. When it's hot, it can reach 40 degrees Celsius, and when it's cold, it can be minus 10 degrees Celsius."

Jiang Ning felt okay. After all, he had experienced extreme cold and extreme heat, and the human body's adaptability had improved.

"It's one day, four distinct seasons."

Jiang Ning, who hadn't opened his mind yet, said, "..."

Well, she has too little experience, so she is so naive.

So, she should cherish the good times in the next few months.

Huo Yishen reminded that "smog contains germs and weak acid corrosiveness, which is extremely harmful to the liver and lungs. Many people have become ill because of it and have even coughed up lung residue."

Jiang Ning was horrified at the thought of spitting out lung residue from his mouth. "Is there any medicine?"

"It was only discovered much later, and Chinese medicine takes a long time to take effect."

"Do you know what medicine to use?"

Huo Yishen was not a scientific researcher, so he didn't know the specific formula, but they had once formed a team to look for medicine in the deep mountains and forests, so they knew two of the formulas.

"do you remember?"
