Jiang Ning asked, "The sea is so deep, how can we use a suction dredger?"
The administrator's service attitude was average. He glanced at me coldly and said, "You won't understand how to dig it even if I tell you. Just work hard and plant well. Live in solidarity and friendship. Don't worry too much about how the base is run."
There are too many curious people. So solve the stomach problem first and focus on your new life. Don’t complain about everything.
The base has too many difficulties to solve. If we tell ordinary survivors what they are, will they be able to solve them?
Jiang Ning decisively said nothing, took the key and climbed the stairs to the third floor.
The residential buildings in Area B were completed first, Areas 1-3 were occupied by active military personnel, and Area 4 was occupied by ordinary survivors.
No matter which military base you were from before, as long as you are still willing to serve the people in your new home, you will all obey the arrangements again.
There are many survivors, most of whom are soldiers. The rest are from official bases with excellent conditions. Only a few can survive on their own.
Soldiers have to work and are rarely away during the day. Some who go out to sea don't even come back for ten days or half a month, so Area B is not lively and crowded. Ordinary survivors even occupy the private planting areas in Areas 1-3, trying to grow more food.
Jiang Ning came to room 370, where there were plant pots at the door.
She moved aside with her feet, opened the door and walked out.
The container room is very small, about 1.5 meters wide and 2.5 meters long. There is nothing in it except a ventilation window in the upper right corner.
What’s surprising is that the room is separated by movable steel plates with push-pull latches on both sides, so the steel plates can be moved away as long as both parties agree.
The three rooms were connected into one, forming a 2.5*4.5 room, which suddenly had an area of more than ten square meters and was not so cramped and suffocating.
The steel plate is relatively thick and makes noise when you walk on it, but it is quite stable and safe to step on.
Fortunately, it was not extremely hot, otherwise the steel house would have roasted people.
Huo Yishen let Coke out and warned it not to bark outside.
After working with the trainer for almost ten years, the dog can now understand his commands and wags its tail with joy.
The house was newly built and had not been lived in yet, so the three of them took a short break and began to clean up.
Jiang Ning took out a simple folding sofa from the space. It can be used as a sofa when folded up during the day and can be used as a bed at night.
The designs and prices of the furniture that can enter the furniture expo are not simple.
Simple and stylish, yet low-key and luxurious.
There is no water or electricity in the base, but the sofa has its own USB charging port and a retractable lampshade that can be pulled out for lighting at night.
The sofa bed didn’t take up much space, so Jiang Ning took out a small round table and put it on it, and got a few fabric stools, and now he had a temporary home.
It's still very cramped, but much better than the other survivors.
Area B can be used to dock ships. Survivors from the same base have decisively banded together. Many of them have suffered serious physical damage and are unable to exchange their labor for wages and food. Some of them feel they cannot pay their rent, so they simply live on the ship to save on rent.
The environment on the ship is poor, but at least it's livable.
If we really encounter big storms or something like that, we can move to the platform in time to avoid disaster.
The base understood their difficulties and chose to turn a blind eye.
Housing standards are uniform and there is no gap between the rich and the poor.
If you want a better house, there is one, but it depends on your military rank.
Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen are both ordinary survivors. Each of them can rent one room at most. It is impossible for them to rent more rooms by providing food.
When it was lunchtime, Jiang Ning spread out the sofa and got a single bed for Doudou.
The room was not particularly soundproof. I could hear the sound of waves hitting the giant drill string outside, as well as the occasional voices of people talking. It felt like a dream, and not particularly reassuring.
I slept in a daze until five o'clock, then opened the door and stood in the corridor to get some fresh air.
The setting sun shines on my face, making it a little dazzling.
Many people carried buckets or basins and went downstairs to queue up for water.
Back in the room, Jiang Ning took out two wooden barrels from the space. Doudou stayed at home with the dog, while she and Huo Yishen queued up to fetch water.
Nowadays, beauty and ugliness are no longer considered important. Everyone is so thin that their heads are big and their bodies are small. Their wilted facial features reveal a sickly look. What attracts people's attention at first sight is no longer the face, but the flesh on the body.
The two of them stood out from the crowd and attracted a lot of attention.
This is the inconvenience of living in a group, it's like watching a monkey show.
After waiting for half an hour, it was finally their turn to fetch water.
The water is filtered well, the salty smell is much reduced, and there is almost no smell unless you smell it closely.
Jiang Ning saw someone pick it up and drink it directly.
I went upstairs carrying the bucket and found a woman in a red dress standing at the door.
She was very thin, and her worn-out skirt was empty and had several patches on it. I didn't know how many years she had worn it.
The woman was holding a kitchen knife in her hand, looking at the overturned plant pot in the aisle, and said something very fierce, "Which bastard kicked my potato pot?"
As he said that, he knocked on the door of 370 and raised the knife in his hand, ready to fight.
Jiang Ning was immediately displeased, "Your basin blocked my door, and we couldn't get in or out, so we moved it to the side."
Hearing the voice, the woman subconsciously turned her head, her thin face full of fierceness and toughness, looking like someone who was not someone to be trifled with.
She was about to curse, but was shocked when she saw Jiang Ning's expression, "You..."
Jiang Ning didn't want to be loud, "Sorry, I accidentally knocked over the basin you were blocking at my door."
The woman quickly put away the knife and put on a surprised smile, "Jiang Ning?"
Even the Sichuan Opera master can't keep up with this speed of face-changing.
Familiar? Jiang Ning stared at her face. She was so skinny that he couldn't recognize her.
"I am Wang Meili."
Wang Meili? Jiang Ning thought for a long time, who is it?
"My husband sells goods with Qin Chuan and others."
Jiang Ning looked at the red dress she was wearing, and memories instantly flooded into his mind: the wife of the sharp-nosed monkey!
In the vast water ball, Jiang Ning didn't expect to run into someone familiar. He asked in surprise, "Where's the monkey?"
Wang Meili smiled awkwardly, "He's out busy and will be back later.
I live in 351, and thought no one lived here yet, so I moved the plant pots out to dry, but I didn’t expect it to block your door.”
The tone was gentle and enthusiastic, without any of the aggressiveness from before.
The two parties have known each other for many years, and Jiang Ning recalled the days when he traded with the sharp-nosed monkey.
Sister, you are my only sister.
That mouth really knows how to do business and coax people.
Thinking that many supplies were stored by the sharp-nosed monkey, Jiang Ning couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you all okay?"
Wang Meili was stunned for a moment, "Okay, okay, it's good."
Jiang Ning was not particularly familiar with Wang Meili, so he naturally asked about Qin Chuan.
"Brother Chuan and his team are doing well at Jiacheng Base, but the plate collision came suddenly and we were separated by the earthquake..."
The sharp-nosed monkey took her and her child, along with other survivors, and after going through many hardships and dangers, they finally got on the boat.
I drifted on the sea for several months and I don’t know how I managed to survive. It still feels like a dream.
Perhaps it was because she met someone familiar and recalled too many things. Wang Meili's eyes suddenly turned red. "I'll move my things back first, and I'll come back to see you later when Monkey comes back."
