Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 48 048 High temperature, home

High temperature and water shortage have become the most serious problem at present. After heavy rains and floods, water flow is destroyed, and water pollution and air pollution intensify.

The high temperature began in June, and the river bed gradually dried up. The Qingjiang River passing through the center of Lancheng City overflowed, collapsed, broke its embankment, and then dried up. Now there are only shoals and mud swamps. Holding sewage, there are riots happening all the time here.

Officer Song cut a piece of cactus for Ye Fu, which he brought back when he went out to look for supplies. The cactus was shriveled and shriveled, but he was as excited as winning a treasure. Ye Fu thanked Officer Song for his kindness, and took out a He gave him a jin of raw soil as a return gift. Officer Song only thought that the soil was left over from Ye Fu's family planting flowers, and gave Ye Fu a bowl of sewage that he snatched from the river embankment.

Ye Fu took the cactus back to the house, immediately took out the flowerpot and soil, and began to transplant. The cactus is a heat-resistant plant, and it can save lives when there is a shortage of water and food. Lancheng has no grass, and the trees on the roadside are under heavy rain. They were chopped down by the residents to burn firewood, otherwise, eating leaves and bark would be a way to wrap their stomachs.

After a person is hungry for a long time, there will be two states, thin and swollen.The human body lacks water and salt for a long time, in addition to dizziness, trembling, weakness and fatigue, teeth and hair loss will also occur.

There are still many people who endured the high temperature and went out to find food. Officer Song said that there are still many snake hunting teams outside.

Staying at home during the day and going out at night has become the survivor's way of life. The temperature at night remains high, but without direct sunlight, you don't have to worry about heatstroke or sudden death due to exposure to the sun.

The disadvantage is that it is easy to be robbed. Even a tall and strong man like Police Officer Song always comes back with injuries.

After staying at home for three days, Officer Song brought back news that the authorities had established a base in Longtan Town, [-] kilometers away from Lancheng. The people who had gone to the refuge before were taken to the Longtan Base by the authorities. It is said that the base is very large and can accommodate millions. People, there are military/team control, strict discipline, and personal safety can be guaranteed.

As long as you go there with your ID card and don't need to hand in any supplies, you can enter the Longtan base.

Officer Song was trying to test Ye Fu's thoughts. Before he knew it, he no longer regarded Ye Fu as a nineteen-year-old girl, but as an adult with quick thinking, decisive actions, and courage.

Ye Fu wouldn't go to the base, but at least he wouldn't starve to death if he went to the base, which is the best choice for most people.

Ye Fu didn't go to the base in her previous life, but she knew a lot about the base.

Although it is officially established and controlled by the army/team, there are factional disputes in it. In order to fight for the control of the base, the aristocratic family huddles together to keep warm, and the official and army/team are three-legged, and they check and balance each other.

Rich and wealthy families, even in the last days, they still hold the best resources in their hands.

This is only the negative part. Everything has two sides. From the positive point of view, the base is at least a safe refuge, and as long as you pay labor, you can live in the base.

After entering the base, as long as you obey the base's arrangement to do things, you can not only get food and beds, but also get clothes and medicines.

"I won't go." Ye Fu didn't hide anything from him.

Police officer Song already had an idea in his heart after getting Ye Fu's answer.

The base is a small society. Although it is regulated, there is a mixed bag of good and bad people. He brought Wenwen with him, fearing that there would be greater danger and trouble.

"Wenwen and I don't plan to go either. I heard that men and women are managed separately there. If Wenwen separates from me, I can't imagine the consequences."

Wenwen has been somewhat autistic since she was frightened. Although she temporarily lost her voice, her situation is indeed not suitable for going to the base.

Two days later, Officer Song told Ye Fu after fetching water that many people had left in the past few days, the three women from Building E also went to the base, and the two children were thrown away as oil bottles.

At night, Ye Fu saw Officer Song taking the two children out to fetch water, and they limped back just before dawn.

Ye Fu has not gone out for many days. The cactus was successfully planted. Ye Fu did not expect that she still has the talent for farming. When she has the opportunity in the future, she can find a suitable place, enclose a piece of land, build a house, and grow some fruits. Vegetables, raising a few chickens, ducks and geese, it's not bad to be self-sufficient.

Two days later, the two children in Building E moved to Building D and lived on the twelfth floor.

After Officer Song's introduction, Ye Fu also knew the names and ages of the two.

He Rui, ten years old.

Zhang Yuan, eleven years old.

Why did they fall into the hands of those people, and what did they experience?These are not important anymore.

Regarding Officer Song's actions, Ye Fu neither opposed nor supported her. Most of the time she didn't go out, and she rarely met the two of them. They were also very well-behaved. pace.

The temperature rose to 49°C, and it was impossible to go out at night. When the heat wave blows on the body, there will be a burning sensation. Those who set off to the base will lose energy and faint after walking for half an hour or an hour. On the ground, I can no longer get up.

The white sky had already changed color, large swaths of red clouds moved and gathered, and the red-to-black sky always felt like it was about to drip blood.

Ye Fu stood on the balcony, the ice water in his hand couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart, the little snake downstairs was burned to death by the hot ground in just a few seconds.

He Rui and Zhang Yuan would go out every evening to pick up dead snakes. They dared not leave the community, so they rummaged through several buildings.

In order to prevent the snake meat from rotting, they made the snake into jerky after picking it up.

In mid-August, two blisters developed on Ye Fu's lips. She hadn't eaten meat for half a month, and she ate fresh cabbage every day. Unexpectedly, she still had a fever and got angry.

After brewing a pot of herbal tea and drinking it for two days, the anger didn't subside, but nosebleeds started.

Others were not much better, heatstroke, nosebleeds, hot blisters, vomiting, convulsions, cold hands and feet, and mild hypothermia appeared in turn.

There are only five people in the building now, and Ye Fu will not refuse to save her. After a whole day, her needle hand is shaking.

Fortunately, everyone survived. The feeling of dying was too painful, as if there were hands that forcibly tore the soul out of the body. You were fighting against it, like a tug-of-war. Once you failed, it meant complete death.

Spontaneous combustion caused by high temperature occurred frequently. The high-rise buildings not far away were billowing with smoke, and the pungent burning smell could be smelled several streets away. After the explosion of the chemical furnace in the factory, black smoke was everywhere, and the sky returned to its gray appearance. .
