"Come with us. Although the basement level of the mall is a bit dangerous, we have cleaned it up. Just help with the bagging." Ye Jin thought that the couple was injured and would go back with the car later. Yin Ling was alone. The little girl is alone, so she might as well follow them and help.

Yin Ling thought for a while and nodded. It was cold outside and the snow was thick on the road. If he wanted to find supplies, he would have to walk far, so it would be better to stay here.

There is mainly a large supermarket on the underground floor with all the items. Although the sinking was serious, the rescuers still worked hard to open a passage.

Yin Ling took the sack and started picking up supplies in a designated small space that was opened up. The collapsed shelves and scattered packaging bags on the ground all showed that this small area was a snack area. She picked up all the undamaged packaging bags and threw them into the sack. Due to the small space, she could only move half-bent. From time to time, she could hear the sound of people talking and walking not far away. There was also a rescue worker two or three meters away from her. Packing up, tidy up.

After Yin Ling picked up a bag, he asked someone to take the bag and then handed over the empty bag. Yin Ling continued filling the bags.

Biscuits, potato chips, bread and spicy strips, some of the packages were leaky but not damaged. Yin Ling also received them all in the sack. Yin Ling picked up some of his favorite snacks and threw them into the space without taking more. This disaster might not be good.

From the beginning of the earthquake to the delay in rescue and then to the rapid organization of ordinary victims to collect supplies, most people have not yet felt the urgency of this, but Yin Ling has a very bad feeling.

It snows heavily in October. This is the time when the autumn corn harvest in the north is coming to an end. Most of the fields have not yet been sown with wheat. Other vegetables, vegetables and agricultural and sideline products are buried in the snow and become nutrients for the land. Judging from the current situation, The crop of grain will be temporarily cut off, and agriculture cannot be resumed in a short period of time.

But this is not the reason why the rescue team is rushing to search for supplies. The loss of crops for one season will not have much impact on the country. The national grain storage can still withstand this small setback, but at present, a large number of rescue teams have survived the rapid search and rescue. Judging from the behavior of readers and collecting materials, it is more like...

It’s like clearing out the city!

Yin Ling was thinking while picking up things. Now that the power and Internet were cut off, she didn't know the situation outside. She heard from rescue workers that the disaster in central and northern China was serious. How serious it was, and she didn't know what the situation was in the west and south. Planes flying frequently in the sky indicate the seriousness of the situation.

By the time they all returned to the shelter, it was already 7pm, and it was already dark. After receiving dinner, Yin Ling bought two bottles of water and soaked her feet with her grandma.

There were her frayed leather gloves on the table. Yin Ling even felt a little sore in her waist as she would have to continue tomorrow.

"Grandma, what are these clothes?"

Yin Ling looked at a large cloth basket placed in the corner behind the door, which contained several pieces of cotton clothing.

"This is the job we three old guys got, to help the rescuers sew clothes." Li Xiu'e said with a sad look on her face, "You don't know, Lingling, many rescuers' clothes are frayed and leaking when they breathe. Well, it’s really hard work. Are you tired from going out today?

"It's not bad, the rescuers are not as tired as them." Yin Ling didn't say much. If he said too much, his grandma would definitely be worried.

For three consecutive days, Yin Ling went out to collect supplies with the rescue team. The same team and the same members were later joined by new residents. The team sweeping the city was growing day by day. Occasionally, he could encounter the search and rescue team, but that had already passed. During the golden hour of rescue, fewer and fewer people come to the shelter.

When the temperature exceeded minus ten degrees, the container was equipped with a stove. Everyone in Yin Ling spread one bed and two beds, and put the cotton-padded jackets they took off on top of the quilt to keep warm. When the temperature exceeded minus 15 degrees Celsius, elderly people began to die in the shelter. The atmosphere in the huge shelter was gloomy. Every day, many people gathered at the residence of the rescue team to question the repair of the power grid, the progress of the rescue, and the reconstruction of their homes. But no accurate reply was given.

On the fifth day, Yin Ling and the others were informed to suspend their search and rescue work. Everyone thought it was because the weather was too cold, and the cleared roads were covered with ice and then covered with a layer of snow, making it very easy for cars to slip when driving on them. Therefore, for safety reasons, we stopped going out to work.

Yin Ling looked at the falling snowflakes and the silent refuge, told her grandma to go out to find friends, and drove off on the tram.

In the cold weather, almost all the residents hid in the containers to keep warm. No one wanted to come out. Even the rescue workers wearing orange clothes were nowhere to be seen.

The road that had been run over many times was still smooth. Yin Ling drove out of the shelter and drove toward the county town. She didn't meet anyone from other shelters along the way, as if she was the only one alive in the vast sea of ​​snow.

Yin Ling did drive to the county town. In the past few days, everyone was sweeping through shopping malls and stores like locusts passing through. Yin Ling also took the opportunity to collect some daily necessities. However, the main purpose of coming out today was not to collect supplies, but to change cars. car.

Her little tram usually drives just fine, but it can't withstand the bumps on such an icy, snowy and dilapidated road. I drove into the county, followed the route in my memory, and stopped next to a completely dilapidated ruins, and then put the car into space.

I took out a tablet from the space and opened the offline map inside to check it. I found that half of the locations in the county had been searched by the rescue material team. The remaining half was due to poor roads in the city and a large number of people could not pass through. However, Yin Ling It’s not that I want to go there, but I found a 4S store on the outskirts. These days, I mainly collect daily necessities and food. I have never been to a building materials market like the Furniture City, Auto City.

After deciding on the location, Yin Ling surrounded himself tightly, took out a hiking pole, and walked toward the target. The snow on this road had not been cleared, and either there was no rescue or the rescue was in another area, so there was no need to open this road. . Yin Ling walked through the snow.

It took more than an hour of walking to reach the destination. This slightly remote area is built in the form of one or two-story factory buildings. The snow has obviously been cleared. There are rows of car repair shops along the road. If you walk further, you will see When you walk into the gate of the Automobile City, you will see a small square surrounded by 4S stores of various brands. However, the original bright and bright glass showroom has been cracked and the vehicles inside are swaying around.

Yin Ling trudged along the cleared passages and walked into each store, but the buildings were all empty.

She didn't even look at the ordinary cars. She scanned them one by one, some cheap and some expensive, but none of them were what she wanted. However, she still took in two SUVs that didn't seem to have much damage.

Yin Ling bypassed the store in the first row and walked towards the back of the car city. Finally, he collected two off-road vehicles in a store. During this period, he spent a long time just looking for the car keys, because when the earthquake happened, the whole city was covered with heavy snow. The shop was basically closed, so the car keys were locked in the safe. Yin Ling found it after a lot of trouble. After coming out, she collected some repair tools from a nearby repair shop. Although she didn't know how to use them, There is always someone who can use it.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when she returned to the base, but the base at this time was much more lively than when she went out in the morning. Everyone was no longer afraid of the cold. There were three or five people gathered at the door and they didn't know what they were talking about.
