Besides food, the most lacking thing in extreme heat is water.

Jiang Ning's space has water and electricity, so the thing she lacks the least is water.

Although the drilling machine is busy all day and night, digging wells in various areas, it has also got water at the beginning, but before the drilling machine can be withdrawn, the water source disappears again.

Yes, the surface water source disappears at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The street where Jinrong Community is located is very lucky. It didn't take long for it to get its turn to dig a well. Residents can draw a bucket of water every day with their ID cards.

But as the water level continues to drop, only half a bucket of water can be drawn every day.

Now, even half a bucket of water is gone.

Jiang Ning used to carry a bucket out to pretend, but now she doesn't even want to fill it.

There is only so much water every day, not to mention washing vegetables, dishes, and sweet potatoes, it can only maintain the normal needs of the human body.

It is estimated that soon even the demand will not be able to be maintained, but this is also an opportunity for Jiang Ning.

Huo Yishen thought for a while, "Sell water?"

"Potatoes are also OK." The last batch of cold-resistant potatoes have not been sold yet, and there are many planted in the black soil garden.

In short, there is always a suitable one for the survivors.

Huo Yishen has no objection, but he still has to be cautious, after all, there are many who eat black.

It is not too late to explore the situation first, and then make plans.

So, after the sun went down, Jiang Ning led the two downstairs, intending to entrust them to the Zhong family to take care of them.

Just as she reached the door, she saw Zhong's mother coming back with a bucket full of water. She couldn't help but wonder, "How can you get so much water?"

Zhong's mother smiled bitterly, "The well on the street is dry, and we have to line up again for the drilling team to dig deeper. This is the sea water I bought. One pound of potatoes can be exchanged for one bucket of water. If you need it, hurry up. It's at the corner of the street. If you're late, I'm afraid it's gone."

Sea water? Which genius actually sells sea water!

Hearing the sound, Grandma Zhong opened the door, welcomed the two into the house, and at the same time taught Jiang Ning some life experience, "Xiao Jiang, sea water is a good thing. Although it is salty and bitter, you can still drink it.

Cut a Coke bottle, poke a few tiny holes in the bottom, cover it with a clean cloth, and then put clean sand and charcoal on it. They can absorb harmful substances. Repeatedly lay several layers to filter sea water."

As she spoke, she took out a bottle she had made and demonstrated to Jiang Ning on the spot, "It is still bitter after filtering, but the taste is much better than before, and it must be mixed with appropriate fresh water and boiled before drinking."

Two years after the natural disaster, the salt stored in the family was used up even if they lived frugally, and sea water was just right for extraction.

In fact, if conditions permit, who would be willing to drink sea water? Isn't it a choice? You have to find a way to survive.

The old lady has rich life experience. Jiang Ning nodded and thanked her, "Thank you, Grandma Zhong, I'll go get a bucket later."

Only Coke was scared. It didn't understand why the grandma cut it open? I really want to escape! ! !

After leaving Zhong's house, Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen walked towards the People's Square in the twilight.

When they walked to the corner of the street, they saw a greening sprayer selling water.

Jiang Ning was curious and walked over to see the excitement.

Don't say it, there are really people queuing up with buckets to buy water, and the items exchanged are even more bizarre.

Even sea water is so easy to sell, wouldn't it be more popular if she sells fresh water?

"Sister, you're here to buy water too?" A surprised voice rang out.

Uh, he's everywhere, so professional.

The sharp-nosed monkey came over with a smile, "Sister, do you live nearby?"

"I was taking a walk, just passing by." Jiang Ning got straight to the point, "How much is the sea water?"

"Free."

Jiang Ning was stunned and couldn't figure out what to do for a moment.

"Who said you're my only sister." The sharp-nosed monkey smiled at everyone, "I'll give it to you for free."

Sea water is not expensive to begin with, and it's easy for him to make money by selling it to others, but selling it to her...it's better to give it away for free as a favor.

Jiang Ning was not joking, "How do you sell it?"

Seeing that she didn't look like someone who was short of water, the sharp-nosed monkey told the truth, "A bucket of water is half a pound of rice, and potatoes and sweet potatoes are one pound. Other supplies are also fine."

Jiang Ning pretended to be shocked, "Why don't you go and grab some?"

The sharp-nosed monkey didn't like to hear this, "Sister, don't talk nonsense. We drive more than 70 kilometers to the coast of Guangdong City to get water. The car needs to burn oil, and there are tolls for round trips. All the money we earn is hard-earned money.

Go out and ask around. Our family sells at a reasonable price. Other merchants are more than twice as expensive as us!"

"You look aggrieved." Jiang Ning patted his shoulder and left.

The sharp-nosed monkey was alarmed. Sister, are you going to steal his business?

The two walked towards the People's Square. On the way, they saw several people carrying pots and pans and carrying their belongings on their backs, walking far away with numb and slow expressions.

Fengcheng is a coastal city but has no sea. Instead, it is sandwiched in the middle of Yuecheng and Xiangshan City in a triangle. It belongs to a one-hour living circle and is not far from the beaches on both sides.

Judging from the direction they are walking, they are going in the opposite direction of the base, and they should be heading to the nearest beach to survive.

However, the words of the sharp-mouthed monkey reminded her that it is not easy to survive at the beach, and there are protection fees on the way.

Thinking about the past life, it was both tormenting and painful. It is really not easy to want to live.

This time, she was glad that she had space and people who shared weal and woe with her.

As it got dark, Huo Yishen held Jiang Ning's hand and headed to the square market with a flashlight.

After the extreme heat elimination, although there are still many people in the market, it doesn't feel as lively as before.

In addition to death, there are also escapes and countless office workers, so it is understandable that it is deserted.

In addition to food, the most lacking thing is water.

You can survive seven days of hunger, but only three days of lack of water, and very few people are willing to trade.

There is mineral water, drinks and so on, but they can be finished in a few sips and can't solve big problems.

The two walked back and forth, but didn't find antiques and calligraphy and the like for sale. Instead, they saw a few people grabbing water, grabbing it and running away!

When she ran to drink, she was caught up by the stall owner. The water had already been drunk, and he couldn't spit it out even if he was beaten to death.

It seems that selling in bulk doesn't work, and the things she needs are not in the hands of the survivors on the bottom.

We have to find a way to find someone who has the goods.

There was nothing to gain, and they were a little worried about the two left behind, so they didn't waste any time and took a shortcut back home.

The shortcut was remote and risky, so Huo Yishen held Jiang Ning's hand and was extremely alert.

"Ah..."

A scream came from afar.

No need to think, it was a robbery.

This kind of thing happens every day, even all the time.

I can't take care of it, and I don't want to take care of it anymore.

If you know the danger and still don't take the main road, you have to bear the corresponding danger.

The two continued forward without stopping.

"Bage Yalu!" A low and complacent voice rang out, and he cursed arrogantly: "Beast, die!"

Jiang Ning stopped and turned back slowly...
