Yan Xinian kicked the stainless steel granary.

It felt very heavy. Even with his great strength, he couldn't move it at all. The granary must be quite full of food.

Yan Xinian lowered his head and asked the kitten, "Open it?"

The kitten nodded his head seriously, "Meow."

This granary had been buried under the rubble for nearly two years. The cover and the hull below were almost grown together.

Yan Xinian pried it open but couldn't move it.

Ba Niu patted his chest and volunteered, "I'll do it. Team Yan, please

move aside." Everyone stepped back to make room for him.

Ba Niu rolled up his sleeves, took his hoe, inserted the pointed hoe mouth into the granary, and began to pry it open with force.

Xia Lunong saw the bulging of his chest muscles and biceps, her face flushed red, and the veins on the back of his hands popped out, and she was about to say "meow" and suggest that everyone go over and pry him together.

Baniu shouted loudly, "Ho!"

As he shouted, the lid of the granary rose up, rolled several times in the air with a "bang", and flew five or six meters away.

? ! !

The cat's eyes widened and he looked at the granary lid that banged to the ground with some awe. He moved his body and shrank his head.

Dust rose up, and the smell of old grain in the granary filled the air. Everyone subconsciously took a small step back to avoid the rising dust.

Panting, Ba Niu stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and looked into the granary, judging: "The granary is full, at least a thousand kilograms."

Xia Lunong's eyes lit up, and he stretched his head forward to see what was going on inside.

His brother held him forward.

Xia Lunong could see the whole granary.

Inside the silver-white stainless steel granary, the golden rice grains were piled almost to the entrance of the granary.

The rice grains were so full that they looked like gold in the granary.

Yan Xi Nian grabbed a handful, twisted it in his hand, smelled it again, and said, "Good rice, not bad."

Xia Huo said: "It's so well preserved, it's generally not bad. Before the disaster, many people's rice only lasted for five or ten years."

He sighed, "It's a pity that it's a little bit infested with insects."

Yan Xi Nian smiled . He smiled and said, "It's okay. It's normal that there are grain worms in the rice. You can just dry it when you get back."

He said and glanced at everyone's faces. "This time we will follow the old rules. Those who find the rice will get a 50% share, and everyone will share the remaining 50%. Do you have any objections?"

Baniu, Luo Congzin and Cong Lian all shook their heads.

Yan Xinian said, "Then according to the rules, after deducting the car rental and gas fees paid to the base, of the total amount of rice, Xiao Nong and I will get 50% first, and the remaining half will be divided equally among all of us. Take it back first, and then divide it when we get to the base."

"Meow." Xia Lunong's emerald cat eyes were full of expectations. With such a large warehouse of rice, at least they don't have to eat mixed grains this year.

So much rice can't be taken away at once.

After Yan Xinian checked, he put the cover of the granary back firmly, and then moved several large stones to press on it.

Yan Xinian waved his hand, full of high spirits: "First, let's go to the mountain to clean up the hydropower station and dismantle the generator sets. After installing the generator sets, we will use the extra space to install rice."

Baniu and the others nodded in unison, "Okay!"

Even Xia Lunong excitedly "meowed" and joined in the fun.

Only Xia Huoqu objected, "You can dismantle the hydropower units, but someone has to be left here to guard it."

"No need?" Baniu was outspoken and couldn't help but retort, "It's so desolate here. We drove away the mutated animals and plants yesterday. The covers have been put up. Who are we guarding against?"

"No." Xia Huoqu looked into the distance and said, "We just drove away the mutated animals and plants that emerged. No one knows if there are any special mutated animals and plants hidden underneath. Besides, desolation does not mean that no one passes by here. I feel uneasy if there is no one guarding such a large warehouse."

Everyone looked at Yan Xinian, waiting for his decision.

Yan Xinian said, "What Huo Qu said makes sense. Food is not easy to find. Leave one person here to guard it, and the others will go with me to the hydropower station to dismantle the generator set."

"Captain Yan," Cong Han asked, "Will it be too dangerous to leave only one person?"

Xia Huo Qu said, "Xiao Nong has little combat power, and he can't help at the hydropower station. How about he and I stay here to guard the food, and the others go to the hydropower station to dismantle the generator set? Otherwise, the food in this warehouse can be considered as the items found by Xiao Nong and Captain Yan privately, so that everyone doesn't have to take risks, but we can't share the food."

No one said anything now.

There is such a large warehouse of golden food here, who wouldn't be greedy?

Yan Xinian said, "Raise your hands to vote. Those who are willing to take the risk and share the rations, raise your hands. If you share the rations, you should complete the job of the guards. Xiao Nong is not a combatant, and he has no contribution points to the base this time. He does not need to work. Those who share the rations only need to share the work of Deputy Captain Xia."

Yan Xinian glanced at them, "One, two, three - vote."

He raised his hand first to show his agreement.

Ba Niu looked at Xia Huoqu and then at the rations below, and raised his hand.

Luo Congzhi hesitated, then raised his hand as well, explaining, "When I flew into the sky, I saw other orcs. If I don't keep an eye on them, they might be intercepted by other bases."

Cong Lin crossed his arms, pursed his lips, paused for a few seconds, and raised his hand again.

Yan Xinian nodded, "Okay, everyone agrees. For now, the four of us will share Huo Qu's work, and see what Quan Nan thinks. If he is willing to increase the workload, then he will also take part."

Xia Huo Qu said, "You don't have to do it for me. You can leave some work for me and find someone to take turns with me later."

"This... this is not necessary." Baniu hesitated, "The workload of dismantling the generator set is not much."

Xia Huo Qu insisted, "You go up the mountain first, and leave some for me after dismantling it. I will do it."

Yan Xinian said, "Let's decide this first. Let's talk about it after breakfast. You don't have to watch over it when you are in the village. After we go up the mountain, Huo Qu will bring Xiao Nong over."

Xia Huo Qu had no objection.

The pedestrians returned to the temporary repair site to have breakfast.

When Liao Quannan heard that a granary had been found, he agreed without hesitation, "I have no objection. I'll take on Deputy Captain Xia's job."

Yan Xinian said, "Very good, then everyone approves. Everyone, eat quickly, finish eating early and go up the mountain early, and try to dismantle all the generator sets today and bring them back to the base."

With the extra food reward, Yan Xinian didn't need to encourage them anymore, and they were full of energy.

After breakfast, they checked their equipment, took off their clothes and put them on their necks. Except for Baniu, everyone turned into beasts and quickly rushed up the mountain.

The hydropower station was halfway up the mountain, and they were going to dismantle the equipment there.

Xia Huoqu and Xia Lunong turned around and went to the grain warehouse.

They had to guard the grain in the warehouse first, and wait until the truck was loaded with the generator sets, and then see how much space and load there were, and then move the grain up.

If they can't finish loading, they can only wait for the second time to load. If they need to go out again, this car will be considered as rented by them, and the rental fee, gas money, etc. need to be shared equally among them.

The sun in May is quite strong.

They didn't have much to do near the granary.

Xia Lunong wandered around for a while, bored, and used his claws to dig in the nearby ruins.

His good luck seemed to have almost run out. After digging for a whole morning, he didn't find too many useful things. As for ordinary pots, bowls, pans and other daily necessities, he found quite a few, but there were so many of them in the base. Taking them back would not bring much, and it would be more expensive than the gas money.

During the search, they did find a few more skeletons.

Xia Huoqu silently helped dig a hole to bury them, with a calm face.

When the disaster came, no one knew how many relatives and friends had passed away, not to mention seeing the remains of strangers.

Yan Xinian and his friends did not come down at noon.

They listened to the movements on the mountain in this small mountain village, and only heard the tiger roar twice, so they must not have encountered too much trouble.

Xia Lunong and his brother searched together for the whole morning and were exhausted.

After a simple meal of mutton at noon, he lay down beside his brother, drowsy.

The sultry wind blew in from behind the house, blowing his long cat hair into a mess.

He felt like a cat, like an open page of a book, and his cat hair was rustling in the wind, which made him a little upset.

His brother wrapped him up with a coat, and he felt hot again. He tossed and turned on the spot, feeling uncomfortable all over.

Xia Huoqu stroked his fur, and seeing his irritable look, he suddenly reacted, held the kitten in front of him, held his front paws with his fingers and shook them, looking into his eyes, "Can you turn back into a human?"

"Meow?" The kitten shook its tail, looking confused, "Meow?" How can this be changed? Xia Huoqu said: "Imagine your hands and feet, and think about using them, such as grabbing something, and you can turn back." Xia Lunong felt it was a little hard to imagine. His brother put him aside and encouraged him: "Try it."
