Soon it was Chen Wan and the others' turn to cook the big pot meal. The little one insisted on coming along to join in the fun. In the end, Yiyi had no choice but to hold the little one and supervise them while Chen Wan and the others were responsible for cooking.
Chen Wan was preparing a big stew with dried wild vegetables and luncheon meat. She also took three packets of hot pot base from the RV and added it in. The portion was large, so the hot pot base would not be spicy, but would enhance the flavor.
Soon after Chen Wan stir-fried the pot, the aroma wafted out. Pour the vegetables and canned food into the pot and stir-fry. Then add water and put it in a large pot to boil. Cover the pot and wait for a while and it will be almost done.
On the other side, Qin Ke and Jiang Yanxin were in charge of making the noodles. Together with members of other teams, they were busy making the noodles into buns and then steaming them in a pot.
The little guy directed Yiyi to look at Chen Wan for a while, and then asked Qin Ke for half a steamed bun, and ate it happily with his little hands.
After lunch, all the lights in the underground garage went out at once. The military groups rushed to maintain basic order. At the same time, Cao Wei also wanted to send people up there to check. In order to prevent the circuit workers from getting heatstroke, Cao Wei asked the few people who were going up there to wet their blankets with cold water and then go up wrapped in the wet blankets, so that they could at least avoid some of the summer heat.
Chen Wan also went up this time. His mission was to protect the electricians. You know, in the apocalypse, this kind of technical profession is very popular and far more useful than subjects like literature and philosophy.
The few of them didn't dare to delay. After opening the door, they quickly wrapped themselves in wet blankets and went down to the ground.
Chen Wanguang could feel the soles of his shoes burning hot just by standing there, and the unknown glue on the soles was almost melting. Several people endured the discomfort on the soles of their feet and walked slowly towards the place where the solar charging panels were placed outside. The further they walked outside, the hotter the sun became.
Chen Wan walked over with the other two people. The two operators were afraid that their wet blankets would wet the wires, so they had to put the blankets aside and quickly repaired the computer connected to the circuit. This process lasted for more than ten minutes. Chen Wan saw that the uncle in front of him had been sunburned and hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle, you are already sunburned, quickly put on the blanket and work slowly."
The uncle was concentrating on working on the computer in his hand. After hearing Chen Wan's reminder, he suddenly felt a burning pain on his back. He reached out and rubbed his back gently, and a layer of bloody skin fell off.
Chen Wan hurriedly said, "Uncle, please slow down and let someone else do it."
The uncle had no choice but to do as he was told and asked a technician to continue investigating. Finally, he found the cause. Due to the high temperature, several wires on the circuit board had melted. If he wanted to replace the wires, he had to turn off the main switch.
Chen Wan volunteered to go in and help turn off the power. Several uncles took turns working on it. After half an hour, they finally repaired the entire circuit. They also reinforced the circuit by the way.
Several people were more or less sunburned. It might be because Chen Wan had the ability to protect herself. Although she felt that the soles of her shoes were about to melt at the next moment, fortunately she completed the task and the underground garage was illuminated again.
When Chen Wan came back, Jiang Yanxin and the others surrounded him, "What's going on outside?"
"It's extremely hot. If you expose your body to the sun for just a few minutes, you will get sunburned and dehydrated. Just now, a guy had blood peeling off his back. And the soles of my shoes. Normally, the soles of this kind of sports shoes are very thick, but they seemed to be melting just now. Look, they are still a little soft now. In short, we still can't go up. Let's just make the best of it since we are here. After all, there is still enough food and water in the base." Chen Wan said with a smile.
"We can only wait patiently." Jiang Yanxin said with a sigh.
Chen Wan and her colleagues stayed in the underground garage for four months. Around July, the temperature outside gradually dropped to around 35 degrees. Although it was still hot, fortunately everyone was able to move back to the ground and live a normal life.
The little girl was finally released from underground. Now she was happily asking Chen Wan to play with her outside. The little girl had grown a little taller, and her short legs were moving very fast. As a result, she was so busy playing that she fell to the ground with a thud, breaking her right knee.
Chen Wan quickly picked up the little girl, coaxed her softly, and took her back to disinfect the wound on her knee.
The little one was quite well behaved, not crying or making a fuss. She nestled in Chen Wan's arms, waiting for her mother to help treat her wound. Jiang Wanning was extremely anxious when she saw that her baby had bruised his knee. She quickly went to find some medicine. Then, as if she had thought of something, she said, "How about letting me try? I cut my hand while cutting vegetables last time, but for some reason, the wound healed immediately."
"Then try it quickly, otherwise when we use iodine to clean the little guy's wound, he will start crying again." Chen Wan said with a smile, and at the same time looked at Jiang Wanning with some anticipation. After all, if a team has a person with healing abilities, it is definitely a rare good thing.
Jiang Wanning concentrated her thoughts nervously and
He wiped the baby's knee from the air, and the wound that had just been scratched healed out of thin air.
The baby opened his mouth wide when he saw it, "Wow, Mommy, the wound is gone."
"Yes, the wound is gone. The little rascal is happy again, right?" Chen Wan asked with a chuckle.
"Yeah." Zizi nodded his little head in response.
Then, Chen Wan looked at Jiang Wanning again, chuckled and said, "Of course, Wanning. Healing abilities are rare in the apocalypse. Now our team has an extra layer of protection."
Seeing Chen Wan and the others talking about superpowers, Jiang Zhaoyuan came over and said, "I've recently been able to control the accelerated growth of fruits and vegetables in the sunroom. I wonder if it's a superpower."
Chen Wan smiled and said, "It should be. You two took the crystal cores at about the same time. Dad, your ability should be related to controlling plants."
Chen Wan's gaze met Ye Lan's again, and she smiled and asked, "Mom, isn't it time for your special ability to come out?"
Ye Lan smiled and said doubtfully, "It's been hot these past few days, and I've been hoping for some cooler weather. I don't know if it's just my psychology, but I actually feel like it's gotten a lot cooler around me."
"Really? Mom, you try it." Chen Wan was curious about what Ye Lan said.
Ye Lan used her special ability, and after a while Chen Wan felt that the room was cooler. She ran outside to try again, but it was still as hot outside.
"I guess this ability is to change the temperature within a certain range, but it's also good, saving us a lot of trouble." Chen Wan said with a smile. Everyone's abilities have their own uses. Although some are not offensive abilities, they can also play a big role in daily life.
The work in the first district gradually returned to normal. Cao Wei had people clean up the bodies that had died from being sunburned in the base, and uniformly cremated and disinfected them to avoid causing an epidemic. A few days later, the first district began to accept the people who came to seek refuge normally.
Chen Wan, Jiang Yanxin and others continued to follow Commander Chai and the convoy to search for supplies. Qi Jing, Li Xiaoxiao, Kang Wan and others began to take on the task of statisticians, responsible for collecting the main information of those who came to the first district for refuge.
They were tired after working all afternoon and were about to finish the statistics when they saw a male alpha across from them looking at Qi Jing excitedly.
"Qi Jing, do you still recognize me? I'm Yuan Jie, I'm your boyfriend, do you remember? This is my mother, look." Yuan Jie's eyes lit up when he saw Qi Jing. After all, Qi Jing was sitting here in neat clothes working for the military, and he could tell at a glance that she was his mother.
If he is the kind of person who does well in the base, then wouldn't he be able to benefit from his mother's connections?
Qi Jing frowned and looked at the man opposite with a dark face. She said in a cold voice, "Mr. Yuan, you'd better make it clear. We only met once before the end of the world, and my parents insisted that I go. After that, I also told you that it was not suitable and I would not date you. Where did you get the boyfriend?"
Yuan Jie wasn't angry at what Qi Jing said. He smiled and continued, "If it wasn't appropriate then, then it must be appropriate now, right? We've finally met after all these twists and turns. Don't you still agree to let me be your boyfriend?"
A disheveled woman in her fifties standing behind Yuan Jie glared at Qi Jing and said disdainfully, "You're lucky my son likes you. If it weren't for the end of the world, would you be worthy of my son? He's a PhD in finance who returned from overseas."
Qi Jing sneered and said, "The Department of Finance is one of the most useless subjects in the apocalypse. As for him, he might not be as valuable as a real sea turtle. After registering, leave quickly and don't disrupt the order."
"Qi Jing, don't be angry. My mom is not good at talking, but she means well. So, you don't have to allocate a house for me and my mom. My mom and I will move in and live with you." Yuan Jie didn't treat himself as an outsider at all and continued to talk to himself.
Qi Jing waved to the soldiers on the side and said, "Hey guys, someone is disrupting the normal order here. Do you want to deal with it accordingly?"
Several soldiers walked up to Yuan Jie and said, "Sir, the first district has a rule that you cannot cause trouble in the queue, otherwise you will be put in solitary confinement for five days."
Yuan Jie glared at the soldier and shouted, "We came here because we heard that your First District was well-ordered. Now, you can't even talk to my girlfriend? I'm telling you, you have no right to execute me. Take me to see your superiors."
Yuan Jie insisted that Qi Jing was his girlfriend, and his voice became louder and louder, like a shrew. He had noticed that the soldiers in the first district were different from those in other places in the bar, so he dared to act so arrogantly.
The convoy that Chen Wan, Wei Siyu and the others had led out to search for supplies had also returned. Chen Wan and the others saw the commotion here from a distance, so she and Wei Siyu went down to see what was going on, and asked Qin Ke to take the rest of the people to finish the finishing work.
As Chen Wan walked, he frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why is the queue so chaotic?"
The soldier saluted Chen Wan and reported, "Sir, this gentleman is causing trouble here by claiming to be Qi Jing's boyfriend. He also said he wants to see you. We are preparing to take him to the detention center."
Because Chen Wan often led the team out on search missions, even though she didn't have an actual title in the military, the soldiers were very respectful of her and always addressed her as "superior."
