Because Yu Zibai packed the food, Qin Huai directly gave them the lunch box he brought, and put the staple food he took directly into the plastic bag. They didn't change their meal tickets two days ago, but this time they changed them all at once. The food consumption is reduced by one day, and I don't know if they can still supply food later, so I quickly changed them all with the meal tickets in hand. , The bulging bag is full.

Yu Zibai only changed one meal, he felt that the food didn't look very tasty, and the change was just to let Jian Chu adjust the taste, and the rest were the same as Qin Huai, they were all replaced with staple food. Now that there are solar panels, the air conditioner can be provided at home, and the freezer can also be used, so the staple food does not need to be eaten all at once, and it can be frozen and eaten slowly.

There are still some people waiting outside the cafeteria. These people did not participate in the rescue, but they found some things in the ruins, such as money, gold and jade. They tried to exchange these things with the people who came out of the cafeteria. a little food.

There are also food exchanges, such as unopened water, instant noodles, and even some small snacks such as jerky and biscuits. It is estimated that these people’s homes have collapsed, even if they can find these foods, they have no utensils to eat a mouthful of hot food except raw food, so they want to exchange some food or steamed buns with others.

Qin Huai glanced along the road, and found that there was nothing worth exchanging for big steamed buns, but Yu Zibai stepped forward to ask for water with some hesitation, and said humanely, "One bottle of water and two steamed buns."

Yu Zibai turned his head and left, the man hurriedly shouted from behind, but Yu Zibai kept walking, it wasn't that there was no water at home, it was just that what Xu Ming said about the plague just now made him feel a sense of crisis, he could eat less food, but he needed to Clean it well, even if you eat a bite a day, you can maintain your vitality for a period of time. If you accidentally get sick, it will be fatal. But even so, he never thought of being taken advantage of.

Qin Huai said: "Is your house short of water?"

Yu Zibai shook his head: "No, I just want to hoard more. After all, there are still a lot of instant noodles at home, and I can eat them for a while."

Qin Huai said: "Let's go to the shopping mall at the back to look for it tonight. If we find some things to keep warm from the cold, we'll put them away first. When the weather gets colder, we can take these things and exchange them with the army for some supplies."

Yu Zibai wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Can this weather still be cold?" It has been hot since the smog in May, and now it's almost March in February, and it's been hot for nearly a year, if it wasn't so hot If the temperature doesn't drop for a long time, they won't have the feeling that there will be no winter in the future.

It’s also because it’s been hot for too long, no one cares about those thick clothes and quilts, and people don’t bother to take a look at them when they are put out, they are too hot to look at them, and those that have been dug out from the ruins are thrown away casually, and they are too disgusting to take them back. superfluous. If it weren't for the brand new ones they found today, they wouldn't want those quilts very much if they thought about taking them home and storing them without taking up much space.

Qin Huai said: "Be prepared, who knows if this year will be hot and next year will be cold."

Yu Zibai frowned thinking about this possibility, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt: "If that's the case, can the earth survive, and I don't know what caused the climate to change like this."

However, this kind of abnormal climate has not never happened on this ancient planet. It has been frozen for millions of years and rained for millions of years. Now it is only a little hotter, and people can still survive. If it becomes a fireball, then people don't have to struggle anymore. Thinking about it this way, I feel that the worst outcome is that everyone will die together, and the burden on my heart is slightly relieved.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the stall outside the cafeteria, Qin Huai heard someone calling him. Looking back, he saw that it was Shi Yuanfei, the officer who said he would give them a reward. Qin Huai said to Yu Zibai: "You go there first, I'll be over soon."

Yu Zibai nodded, turned around and left without asking any further questions.

Shi Yuanfei has been looking for Qin Huai. Although he was on the registration list, he has not been found. However, he is not worried that something will happen to Qin Huai. If it wasn't for the photo of Qin Huai on the day of the earthquake, their military department would not know How heavy the loss would be, because of Qin Huai's reminder that day, they gathered in the open space as soon as possible, so they didn't sink into the collapsed house, but their country doesn't have frequent earthquakes, especially in their province, there are only a few shaking at most Aftershocks, even though the air defense alert was issued that day, it was still too late. If they could have detected it earlier, even half an hour earlier, they would have sent the alert directly to the mobile phones of the people through the carrier.

But no matter what, Qin Huai can be considered to have saved many of them, and was able to preserve the entire military headquarters to maintain the rescue and normal operation of the masses. It was really thanks to him. Looking at the people in front of him, Shi Yuanfei smiled with some luck and a little helplessness: "I haven't given you the rewards last time. I don't know how to thank you this time. Now the higher-ups are busy with rescue, and there are still many things to deal with in the follow-up. I may not be able to spare for a while, but don't worry, your credit We remember that we will definitely give you what is due to you."

Qin Huai said: "It's just a coincidence. If you paid attention to it, you will have the present. I really want to thank you. You should thank yourself. Whether it was the doomsday thugs last time or this earthquake, if you didn't pay attention to what we, the people, provided information, then there will be no such result, as for the rice reward you mentioned last time."

Shi Yuanfei suddenly shyly said: "There will definitely be, but it may take a while. Now this situation..." I just said that I will definitely give what should be given, but now I can't even give a little rice. The act of slapping his face made him feel a little embarrassed.

Qin Huai smiled: "I mean, I'll donate the reward last time. Donate the rice that should be given to those soldiers. The rescue this time depends entirely on them. Now the money is worthless. It’s collapsed like this, and I can’t afford anything other than barely maintaining my own food and clothing, so I can only borrow flowers to present to the Buddha, so that they can have a good meal, it’s a little bit of my heart.”

Shi Yuanfei quickly refused: "No, these are what we should do."

Qin Huai shook his head: "Then this is what I should do in the first place. Well, my brother is still waiting for me, so that's the decision. Please help me deal with the rest."

Without giving Shi Yuanfei a chance to refuse again, Qin Huai left after finishing speaking. They had no shortage of rice, but some of those soldiers were not even twenty. Mu Nan said that this was a world-class earthquake, and maybe their families were also killed at this moment. Buried in the ruins, but they can only stay here to rescue others, he can't take out the supplies that he and Mu Nan have prepared for the future, so those unexpected gains should be regarded as a change of peace of mind.

Looking at Qin Huai's back, Shi Yuanfei slowly raised his hand and gave him a military salute.

Climbing the stairs is a difficult process. Every time I lift my legs, I feel that the whole body is carrying a thousand gold. Mu Nan is not physically fit, so he can only drag the quilts tied with ropes along the road, but those quilts are also a bit heavy. Even if it is light fleece, it is very difficult to pull so many beds together.

But Qin Huai and the others were even more tired. The solar panel was not light at all, and there was a box of daily necessities on it. Qin Huai and Yu Zibai were carrying it below, and Jian Chu walked in the front to carry it. After climbing two or three floors, he had to take a breath: "This From now on... will you have to climb like this every day?"

The front stopped, and Mu Nan who followed naturally also stopped, rubbing his sore waist, panting so hard that he couldn't speak. Of course it won’t be like this every day. The whole two buildings didn’t collapse, and they could live in hundreds of families. When more people come back later, the electricity will naturally need to be repaired. Most of the electricity is still supplied by the State Grid, but many devices are broken, and power outages are daily life, so it is not easy to get electricity for an hour a day. If life wasn't too difficult, he wouldn't have followed others to a private base.

However, there is still more than a month before the power generation. The most serious problem during this period is not climbing stairs, but the plague.

Yu Zibai glanced at the floor number: "It's the twelfth floor, rest for a while, and it will be fine when you go back."

Jian Chu squatted on the ground like a fish without oxygen: "I think I'm going to die."

Yu Zibai laughed and said: "Stop talking nonsense, drink some water and take a rest, persevere, you will be home soon."

Qin Huai turned back to look at Mu Nan, saw that he was sweating like he had taken a bath, so he took the rope from his hand: "Give it to me, I'll drag it, you can climb slowly by yourself."

Mu Nan waved his hand: "I can." Qin Huai is not a superman, how could he be allowed to do everything, it's just for exercise.

After finally climbing up to the seventeenth floor, Mu Nan felt that his whole life had been sublimated, the kind that was about to ascend to heaven with bliss.

Jian Chu and Yu Zibai directly dragged the things into Mu Nan's house, where the air conditioner was turned on, and if they climbed upstairs without the air conditioner to cool down, it would be really hot to death. In addition, solar panels also need to be installed. They plan to install these solar panels on the balcony. There is no shelter on the balcony, and the orientation is good. They can receive direct sunlight throughout the day, which is larger than the heating surface placed in the room. Some, but the line connecting the generator needs to be extended.

The installation was much faster this time than the last time. Qin Huai and Yu Zibai assembled it inside the house, tested the length first, and after connecting the wires, dragged it directly to the balcony next door to set it up. The balcony on their side is quite big, Qin Huai moved four solar panels from the room to the balcony next door, the light in the room is not as good as the open-air balcony after all.

As for whether people will find out if they pretend to be like this, they are not too worried at the moment. No one will come out during the day, and it is even more impossible to look up. Now there are no tall buildings around, and there are ruins everywhere. At night, I couldn't see anything clearly, it was pitch black. So unless someone hears their air conditioner running, they don't even think about solar power.

Mu Nan was lying on the ground, looking at Jian Chu who was sitting up slowly: "When the sun comes out, you can sleep in the air conditioner."

Jian Chu: "Yeah, I finally saw the dawn."

After the heat on their bodies dropped, Jian Chu and Yu Zibai went home, Qin Huai and the others were also tired, they couldn't relax and rest here, anyway, the air conditioner will be available soon, so go back and blow on the air conditioner fan first. Same. As for the things that were dragged up, they were placed on Qin Huai's side for the time being. They really didn't have the strength to separate them after climbing the stairs. They just wanted to eat something and lie down to sleep.

As soon as they left, Mu Nan got up slowly, and put a swimming pool for Qin Huai at the door, leaning against the side of the pool, with one hand in the pool, and slowly pouring bath water for Qin Huai.

Qin Huai wiped Mu Nan's sweat with a wet towel. Although he had cooled down in the air-conditioned room for a while, his body was still covered with sweat, and it would be more comfortable to wipe it off.

Mu Nan raised his head to let Qin Huai wipe his face, and stretched out his hand to squeeze Qin Huai's arm: "I'll rub it for you after I take a shower, how tiring it is to lift such a heavy thing up."

Qin Huai said: "I'm not tired, I've almost gotten used to it."

Mu Nan: "Just now Yu Zibo said that a soldier is looking for you, who is it, is it the officer from last time?"

Qin Huai hummed: "It's Shi Yuanfei. There was a sign before the earthquake that day. I sent him a WeChat message. He paid attention to it. Although there was no time, the urgent mobilization saved many soldiers who were on rest that day. I said that all the rice rewards I prepared to give us last time were donated to the soldiers to eat. It is our heart to let them have a full meal after the rescue is so hard."

Mu Nan nodded: "That's pretty good. We have prepared enough food, and we've asked for a lot. It's better to let them have a full meal. They are working so hard. I think many people's fingernails are gone, **** still saving lives."

Qin Huai smiled and said, "Sit by yourself for a while, I'll take a shower first."

After filling the swimming pool with water, Mu Nan moved to the bed little by little. He took out a can of iced Coke from the space, and took a big gulp. He was so refreshed that he didn't want to move. Compared with yesterday, he felt that he I made progress today, at least I didn't rely on glucose to slow down. After washing away the heat and sweat all over his body, he sat on the ground with a refreshing scent of toilet water, and then started one of the things he must do every day, looking through the menu to see what he was going to eat today.

Qin Huai poured a little disinfectant into the bucket, diluted a little water, and dragged the whole living room. As for the things dragged from the outside, they were temporarily placed on the aisle inside the iron gate. , It is better not to enter the door before disinfection.

After finishing all this work, Mu Nan handed him the recipe: "Do you want to eat meat today?"

Qin Huai said: "Drink some chicken soup, take out any two dishes, the chicken soup is the one with Cordyceps added, and drink a bowl every morning and evening these days."

Mu Nan said: "When you saw Xu Ming today, did he say something? Are there any patients with the plague?" Otherwise, he wouldn't suddenly be asked to drink chicken soup every day, or the chicken soup with Cordyceps added to nourish his body .

Qin Huai shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be there yet, but Xu Ming said that once it breaks out, it will be another big epidemic."

This is true, the high-temperature corpses, lack of medical treatment, and severe outbreaks in the last life. Mu Nan originally followed others to rummage outside to find supplies, but more and more people became sick, some with high fever, some From diarrhea to dehydration to death, there are many symptoms, some even turned over and fell to the ground and convulsed, and people lost their breath in a short while. He was frightened at the time, and then he stopped looking for things downstairs, and hid in his house with the doors and windows sealed tightly. He didn't dare to go downstairs. He didn't know what was going on outside when the communication was cut off, so he relied on the water and food in the space to boil. Then, until someone from the army came to the door and knocked on the door to check, the whole building was disinfected layer by layer.

Slowly, the power supply of their building was restored, and then he went to the private base with others, and heard in the base that many people died of the plague at that time, and many grounds still had traces of fire that could not go away. Those are the imprints of piles of corpses burned later.

But at that time, it was almost half a month after the earthquake happened, and now the earthquake has just passed a few days, it feels that it should not be so fast, but just in case, Mu Nan still said: "Otherwise, we will not go down in two days." Upstairs, it's better to be careful."

Qin Huai hummed: "Let's go to the shopping mall at the back tonight to have a look. It was sealed off before, and even if it collapsed, there would be no one there. It's safer than the residential area."

Although they actually don’t need to dig through the ruins, the main purpose of going out so hard is to obtain information from the outside world. Their supplies are enough to hide at home and avoid many dangers, but the problem is that they live in a group environment, blindly Not going out is not a long-term solution. Just like now, if they never went out, they would not know Shi Yuanfei and Yuan Dui. The people in these two troops are already equivalent to their contacts to a certain extent. They will not know those two neighbors, no one will help each other with them, and there will not be a friend who is knowledgeable in medicine to find out more news in the medical team.

Not going out is just a temporary comfort, but this disaster is not a temporary disaster. But Qin Huai would not know the danger but still risk himself, so if he leaves for two days, he should stay behind closed doors.

After eating and drinking enough, Mu Nan started to toss his pile of massagers again. When rolling manually, Mu Nan stretched his arms and handed them to Qin Huai's eyes: "Look, there are muscles."

Qin Huai lay on the bed flipping through Mu Nan's previous drawing books, followed Mu Nan's words and glanced at his arm, then glanced at his own arm, without replying.

Mu Nan clicked her tongue lightly: "I feel like you just despised me."

Qin Huai chuckled lightly: "You can delete the word "feeling."

Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai with a face of accusation: "You have changed, you were not like this before, shouldn't you encourage me now?"

Qin Huai raised his hand and touched Mu Nan's head: "Nan Nan is awesome."

Mu Nan snorted, turned over and opened the laptop to search for the previously downloaded variety shows: "I feel your perfunctory."

Seeing that he was still going to watch variety shows, Qin Huai put down his drawing book: "So energetic today? Are you not tired?"

Mu Nan couldn't help but yawned, hugged the pillow and adjusted a comfortable position: "I'm not tired, I have to relax and relax. I'll sleep after watching variety shows for a while."

It turned out that the person who wanted to relax mentally started snoring within five minutes of hugging the pillow.

Qin Huai closed the drawing book, put it next to the pillow, and then turned off the computer over Mu Nan, and the room became quiet in an instant, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard. Qin Huai lay sideways on the bed and watched Mu Nan for a long time, until Mu Nan moved, turned over, and rolled directly into his arms, then Qin Huai smiled, raised his hand to turn off the light, and hugged the girl in his arms. People fell asleep together.

Waking up in Qin Huai's arms as usual, seeing that she was still holding Qin Huai's arm, Mu Nan smiled flatteringly at Qin Huai: "Hey, I'll squeeze it for you." Her voice was still hoarse from just waking up. Hearing the nasal sound, the person scratching like a feather felt itchy in his heart. Hearing Qin Huai's uncontrollable blood rushing down, he could only sit up and hold down the hand that had ignited the fire randomly: "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."

Seeing Qin Huai go to the bathroom, Mu Nan lay on the bed and stretched vigorously. He heard his bones creaking, sighed comfortably, and took out his phone from under the pillow to see that it was only five o'clock in the afternoon. .

They had agreed with the neighbors before that they would meet in the hallway at 8 o'clock in the evening, and there were still three hours. It was indeed still early, but after waking up and letting him sleep again, they couldn't fall asleep, so they simply got up and started the daily soul-searching again. Ask what to eat today.

Mu Nan sat on the bed and waited until Qin Huai didn't come out. When he was going to look through the medicine box to find if there was any medicine for constipation, Qin Huai came out covered in steam: "Have you taken a bath?" It was early in the morning, oh no, just now Take a shower when you wake up, this is not in line with Qinhuai's water-saving style.

Qin Huai glanced at him: "It's hot from your sleep."

Mu Nan slowly got up from the bed: "Okay, my pot, if you think it's too hot, push me away, otherwise I'll put a few pillows in between when I sleep today, so I won't be able to roll over."

He is still very self-aware of his sleeping position. He likes to sleep with things hugged since he was a child. Whether he has Qinhuai or not, it hasn't changed. It's just that he hugged Qinhuai when he was a child, and he hugged Qinhuai when he grew up. Head, although this habit is not so big for a man, but it is not easy to change the habit since childhood, not to mention that the instinct after falling asleep is not easy to change.

Qin Huai said casually: "I'm used to it, you can sleep over mountains and mountains even if you put a pillow on it, there's no need to bother."

Mu Nan couldn't refute this, because it was indeed something he could do, so he smiled flatteringly and ran to the bathroom to wash up. When he was washing up, Qin Huai took a sterilizing watering can and sprayed all the things outside, but the compression bag of the quilt was dirty, so he had to throw away the outer bag, but fortunately there was a layer of compression film inside. At that time, the box of daily chemical products was pitch black and I didn’t know what it was. It looked like it was for cleaning the body. Now I dragged it in and took a look. It was a brand, it was in English, and Qin Huai didn’t use it. I don't know much about these things, but the packaging is quite high-end.

After washing, Mu Nan came out and saw Qin Huai's tidying things, and said, "You can save these, and wait until winter to wipe your hands and feet, otherwise it will be easy to freeze and crack."

People who have never had cracked hands and feet don’t know it. It hurts to step on the ground and even walk, but he bought some anti-cracking medicine early on. Although I don’t know if it’s useful, it’s now worth at least a thousand yuan. The first-class high-end face cream, then put it away and use it as a body lotion.

Qin Huai divided the things in half, stuffed the other half together with the quilt into the box, and dragged it back when the neighbor came over.

Because I went to the shopping mall tonight and would not come into contact with the corpses of dead people, Mu Nan was going to eat some meat today, but before he took the food out of the space, he heard movement from the corridor. Coming back from outside, Qin Huai looked out through the cat's eye of the iron gate, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Mu Nan: "What's the matter? Someone started to pry open the door layer by layer to steal things?"

Qin Huai shook his head: "It's from the Zhang family."

Mu Nan let out a cry: "Are they all back?"

Qin Huai said: "Only the husband and wife bring their son."

What Mu Nan thought of was: "Then we've all gone out, isn't it safe at home?"
