Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 415 Chapter 415 The Storm Strikes Again 1
"If these rats don't get rid of, the wood on our farm will be burned out. Ye Fu, I'm afraid this place is no longer safe. Shall we go to northern Xinjiang?"

"How can you be sure that there are no rats in northern Xinjiang?"

"But in the past two days, several people on our farm have started to feel unwell. If we continue to stay here, I feel that the situation will be even worse."

"Ye Fu has said that the reason everyone is not feeling well is because of the air pollution and has nothing to do with the plague. I feel that the rats will soon be extinct. The number has decreased in the past few days. Migration is not easy."

"But I have a bad feeling."

"Your premonition has never come true once, let's see Ye Fu and Jiang Rong's arrangements. I don't trust anyone now, I only trust them."

……

Qi Yuan and Fang Ming were arguing again, Ye Fu walked past the two of them, picked up a dead mouse with tongs, lightly threw it into the fire.

"Ye Fu, what do you think?"

Ye Fu looked at the two of them, "Don't relocate casually unless you have to. Migration requires a huge price. Now the road outside has collapsed, and there are unknown dangers that will come at any time."

From Lancheng to Longtan base, from the base to Yuncheng, from Yuncheng to Wuliang Mountain, looking back on all the migrations along the way, every day I lived in the wind, slept in the open, and traveled hard. There will be various crises on the road. Rain is always lucky. If there is another earthquake, everyone will have to disperse. Although Ye Fu has prepared a set of first aid supplies for everyone, she really does not want to leave the farm unless it is absolutely necessary.

"I don't want to migrate either. People want to be stable when they are middle-aged. Migration is a pain in the ass for me. Besides, it is dry and smelly outside. We will suffocate after walking for two days. The water in the cellar is enough for us to live. Two years, but if we leave, how much water can we take with us? I'm afraid we have to scrape the bark like the refugees outside, and drink the juice from the bark to survive." Qi Yuan finished speaking, and patted Fang Ming's Shoulder.

"Compared to the refugees outside, we at least have a shelter and a little water. Without water, people can't live for five days."

Fang Ming also understands this truth, but it has been three or four days, and there are still so many rats, so he can't help feeling anxious.

"Besides, how can you be sure that there are no poisonous rats in other places? If we choose to leave and there are rats chasing and biting us while we are on our way, it will be over."

Qi Yuan's words made Ye Fu laugh, thinking about that scene, it's quite funny.

Ye Fu patted Qi Yuan's arm, "Okay, hurry up and deal with the rats on the ground, and burn them every day, otherwise they will rot very quickly."

"I don't know what's going on with Tang Yizheng. I feel that their farm has suffered a heavy loss this time."

"So many people died on their farm, could they have been infected with the plague? In the future, when people from their farm come over, we'd better not open the door."

"I told Tang Yizheng that even if the rats are extinct, it will take a month or two before everyone can contact them, just to avoid the spread of the virus."

Although this approach was a bit mean and cold-blooded, but for the safety of everyone on the farm, Ye Fu could only do this.

"However, Ye Fu, do you feel that the smell has become much weaker since this morning?" After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he sniffed vigorously, and then remembered that he was still wearing a mask, so he took off the mask and smelled it.

"I really feel that the smell is much lighter."

Ye Fu was puzzled, "Is there? Why didn't I feel it, is it raining in Qing Province?"

"What does this have to do with rain?"

"The stench comes from the black balls given to me by the refugees who begged for water. Jiang Rong and I did an experiment. After soaking in water, the black balls will lose their smell."

Qi Yuan and Fang Ming looked at each other, and both became excited.

"Ye Fu, the southwestern wind is blowing these two days, maybe the rain will reach us soon."

Ye Fu shrugged, "I hope so."

Time passed, and three days later, Ye Fu obviously felt that the stench had become weaker this time, and there were fewer and fewer rats. The number of mice that appeared in one night was only a few dozen.

Tang Yizheng called Ye Fu a few more times, and two people on his side started to have a fever and cough, felt cold, and started talking nonsense.

When he came to the door, Ye Fu gave him a pack of traditional Chinese medicine, and threw it out through the door.

The fence of the farm was seriously damaged, Ye Fu didn't plan to repair it for the time being, and would make a unified repair after all the rats were exterminated.

On the tenth day, there were only a few rats here and there, and before everyone had time to celebrate, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by thunder, and two minutes later, fist-sized hail mixed with rain fell.

Ye Fu did not expect to be hit by Qi Yuan again, the light rain that everyone was looking forward to did not come, but a heavy rain came instead.

Back in the wooden house, Ye Fu and Wenwen sat on the floor, looking worried at the rain outside the door.

"Sister Xiaoye, this rain will end soon, right?"

Ye Fu understood Wenwen's fear, she squeezed out a smile, and rubbed Wenwen's hair.

"Of course, this rain can dilute the stench, and it can also wash away all the pus, blood and urine left by the poisonous rat. When the rain stops, the air will be clean."

Wenwen breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm really afraid that there will be another heavy rainstorm, but the hail is so big, will the roof be smashed?"

"No, the roof is very thick." Moreover, waterproof platforms have been built on the outside of the wooden house, which is one meter high.

However, in order to prevent water accumulation, Ye Fu felt that the drainage problem must be solved.

"Dig the isolated fire pile in front, and dig a drainage ditch out of the ditch behind. The rainwater must be drained, and the rainwater must not be accumulated."

After Ye Fu finished speaking, she put on her raincoat and was about to go out. Jiang Rong and Officer Song followed her. The three of them came to the warehouse and got a hoe and started digging. Others came out to work together.

Ye Fu glanced at the crowd, wiped off the rain on her face, and said loudly, "Now there is no thunder and lightning, everyone digs quickly, and when there is thunder and lightning, quickly hide in the wooden house."

Officer Song made a suggestion, "When I dug this ditch before, I thought it would be very troublesome to fill in the soil. I didn't expect it to be used as a drainage ditch. I suggested digging a drainage tributary in each of the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and the water will soon drain away. It can be discharged, the location of the wooden house is on a high place, the location is very good, it is not easy to accumulate water, and there is a water cellar, the water cellar is high, but in order to prevent water from entering, let’s build a waterproof platform around it.”

"Okay, let's do it like this. It's not raining much now, Fang Wei, Fu Jiao, Tian Xi, Shu Yun, Aunt Cui, the five of you go and move the firewood to the kitchen and other wooden houses."

"it is good."

Ye Fuqing counted down the number of people, "Others dig the drainage ditches quickly."

At this time, a purple lightning bolt was about to strike from the sky, Ye Fu blew his whistle.

"Back to the cabin."

As soon as everyone ran back to the wooden house, there was a loud "rumbling" sound, and the trees on the mountain were broken by lightning, and the thick smoke from the lightning-struck wood could still be seen vaguely.
