Chapter 13 Points Arrived
Luo Baiwan, who was homeless and had no one to take him in, settled down in the corridor on the 9th floor and simply chose to live in a mess. His toilet was right at the doorstep of Song Xueming's house.
Song Xueming and his wife were so angry that they chased after him with brooms, up and down, it was really lively.
In the end, the commotion became so unbearable that the building manager had to come out and stop it, and Luo Baiwan moved into Song Xueming's house again.
After this incident, Luo Baiwan mastered the art of throwing a tantrum. Whenever two people cheated on him, he would squat at the door and shit.
On the 13th day of the rainstorm, Xu Xiaoyue knocked on Shen Qianxun's door.
Seeing Xu Xiaoyue, who had obviously lost weight, Shen Qianxun pulled her into the door.
The house had been cleaned up in advance, with only a few planting pots and 3 mushroom sticks.
"Sister Xiaoxun, I want to get some food. I'm really hungry."
All the supplies in the house were locked up by Wang Qingfen. Now Wang Qingfen only gave her two mouthfuls of leftovers every day, while she and Xu Guangyao locked themselves in the room and ate heartily. She even smelled the aroma of meat yesterday.
After learning what had happened, Chen Dabao put a bowl of freshly cooked egg noodles on the dining table. Xu Xiaoyue looked at the tempting soup noodles and swallowed her saliva.
"Sister Xiaoxun, you can deduct any amount from my supplies."
After saying this, tears began to fall down her face. "Why does she dislike me so much even though we are her own grandson?"
Shen Qianxun gently stroked and comforted, “It’s not your fault, you are very good, it’s your grandma who is not a human being, you have to find a way to think about yourself now, so that you can survive.”
Shen Qianxun’s words made Xu Xiaoyue stop crying instantly, wiped away her tears, nodded heavily, and buried her head in eating noodles.
Chen Dabao handed over a cup of warm water and said, "Eat slowly. There's more."
Xu Xiaoyue is indeed pitiful, but in the end times, there are too many pitiful people to save. Shen Qianxun also has a spatial secret, which she will not let anyone else know except Dabao. Xu Xiaoyue must find a way to save herself.
In the afternoon, Xu Xiaoyue took the supplies from her, deducted some storage fees, and exchanged them with Shen Qianxun for a mushroom stick that could be reproduced many times. She then moved in with Grandma Deng and her granddaughter in 1601.
With one less person to eat at home, Wang Qingfen was happy. "The freeloaders are finally gone."
Xu Guangyao yelled in dissatisfaction, "You old woman, hurry up and cook for me. I want to eat meat. I must eat meat today." After that, he kicked Wang Qingfen hard.
"Hey, you little ancestor, please be gentle, I am your grandmother."
Finally, he limped to the kitchen with his teeth bared to cook.
The gas was cut off and no one was willing to lend her firewood. Now she could only painfully dismantle some furniture to burn.
As for the water we drink, we just use rainwater from outside. Whether it needs to be boiled is not considered at all.
Soon, it was the 14th day of the heavy rain. Just like in the previous life, the water reached the 8th floor. There were endless quarrels in the building every day. The building manager was under so much pressure that he simply quit his job.
Finally, Luo Baiwan stepped forward and became the building manager. Every day he would mingle among the crowd and listen to people quarreling. He did not try to stop the quarrels at all, and he would even fan the flames from time to time, obviously enjoying the fun.
During this period of madness, he witnessed the beauty of this world.
He realized that as long as the heavy rain and disasters continued, let the chaos be, and go crazy together. Only crazy people can live an easy life.
At this moment, Shen Qianxun and Chen Dabao were quickly harvesting vegetables in the space.
The growth rate of crops in the black soil in space is three times that of ordinary land outside, and real green vegetables and fruits can be harvested.
After harvesting the vegetables, the two couldn't stop smiling as they looked at the 56 hours of space and time they had stored, including a large amount of cooked food and hot drinks. The supplies were about to fill up an office building.
That night, Shen Qianxun opened the window. It was still raining heavily outside, but the howling wind had obviously weakened.
In the previous life, the heavy rain stopped completely at 1 a.m., and was followed by a relatively mild flood period. However, the water level dropped slowly, and it only dropped to less than the height of one floor when the extreme cold came.
Looking at the time on the watch, 1:02 in the morning, Shen Qianxun breathed a sigh of relief. At present, the node of the disaster has not changed.
After the heavy rain ended, the temperature dropped to 32 degrees.
There was a hint of coolness in the air, but it was soon covered by a mixture of foul smells. The two men put on filter masks, pried open the door on the 8th floor, passed through the broken glass in the living room, took out the rubber boat, and rowed a distance out of the community. With a headlight on their heads, they took out the speedboat filled with diesel under the cover of night, opened the throttle to the maximum, and drove towards the factory in the suburbs.
There were occasional bumps on the road, caused by animal and human corpses, but overall the road was still smooth.
The factory was located on a high ground, and according to Shen Qianxun's estimation, it was probably not completely submerged.
It was pitch black all around, and the golden logo on the top floor reflected the unique metallic glow under the light.
The factory has a total of 8 floors, and the bottom 6 floors were completely flooded. This area was not hit by a water dragon, so the damage to the building was not serious.
The two men easily broke out of the window and pried open the locked door. The ground they stepped on was relatively dry. A large amount of steel, including rebar, round steel, I-beams, and hot-rolled steel plates, was piled up in the warehouse. Shen Qianxun collected some of them casually. These were not the target this time.
Their collection target this time is rare metals that are more valuable than gold and are commonly known as industrial seasonings: lithium, beryllium, titanium, vanadium, germanium, cesium, radium, etc.
Just adding a small amount to ordinary steel can improve their strength and acid and alkali resistance.
These are important scarce resources for the later stage of base construction. They are always at the top of the points exchange list and are materials that scavengers will fight for at all costs.
In their previous life, Shen Qianxun and his companions had seen a scavenger who found a bucket of rare metals and exchanged it for 5 million points. For this reason, the two of them carried all the rare metals on their backs, but due to lack of luck, they didn't see anything.
If she had to do it again, she would have to seize the opportunity and collect some of it into the space in advance so that she could exchange it for the submarine she wanted.
The two walked around and then went upstairs along the stairs. If they didn't find it, they would go into the water again.
The water was now turbid and smelly, with rusty iron pieces scattered around. Shen Qianxun and Chen Dabao didn't want to go into the water unless it was absolutely necessary.
Rare metals extracted from the earth's crust are usually sealed in special containers in the form of powder or small pieces and strips. Even if they are soaked in water for a long time and subjected to severe compression, the container is not easy to break.
After reaching the top floor, they searched for a long time and finally came to a double-reinforced iron door. They looked at each other and felt that there was a chance. They took out big hammers and started smashing.
After 30 minutes, my clothes were soaked and my hair was covered in sweat. With the last blow of the hammer, the door opened.
What caught my eye were more than thirty cylindrical tanks. When I walked closer, I saw that the iron barrel in front of me was written with "Platinum", a rare and precious metal.
After a quick scan and checking the labels on all the barrels, I confirmed with my eyes that they were exactly what I was stocking up on at the moment, so the trip was worthwhile.
With a wave of his hand, he collected everything into the space, and his heart finally settled down.
However, it is far away from other piles of supplies.
Once you have earned the points, you can get a submarine and travel freely in the apocalypse.
Knowing the secret of the space, the two had no intention of entering the base unless it was absolutely necessary.
