MTL - Natural Disaster Apocalypse-Chapter 46
In the end, Master Fan probably couldn't resist the pleadings of others, and he might also think that the sun at six or seven o'clock was not as violent as it was at noon, and they were indeed very close to the hospital, so the car drove quickly , and then find a shaded place to stop at night and then come back should be fine, so I still help out. After sending the woman and her husband to the hospital, that Master Fan also quit the group directly, probably really angry.
Someone didn't know whether it was curiosity or something else, and wanted to add that Master Fan privately to ask about the situation, but they were all rejected. The person even posted a screenshot of the rejection in the group, saying bitterly: "People are indifferent these days, I'm afraid I'll take advantage of him."
If it weren't for the fact that there were people from other buildings or even other communities in this group, and I could occasionally get some information from their daily chats, Mu Nan would have wanted to quit the group. The Lord came out to defend a few words, and Mu Nan couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "This person is too hypocritical, he just said a few words, but he took the risk and sent him to the hospital, but all the good things were ruined." This group leader took over, as if he is a great hero, that Master Fan has not done his best, and everyone in the group licks dogs, be careful to lick until you end up with nothing!"
Qin Huai put a few baskets of steamed buns into a bag, put the pot away, and took the bag of steaming buns out of the kitchen, letting Mu Nan put them in the space: "We don't want to deal with them. gone."
Fortunately, the caravan was put into the space before. Although the caravan is not a luxurious and expensive car, but it is parked in this community. Given the current situation, it may have become a target of public criticism. As for today's matter, when they need oil , the owner of the RV is definitely the first one to think of. After all, a person who can afford a RV must be a rich person in their eyes. A rich person must have a lot of things in his hand, and that is the trouble.
After dark, those who went to the cooler came back, so there was silence—the neighborhood was greeted with loud voices. Probably during the day, I have settled down. Although the fees are very expensive, I can still feel the existence of the government. In most cases, the previous social order is still there, which makes many people feel a little more at ease. Moreover, human beings are gregarious creatures. In the past, when you were locked in the house every day, you would think that something was wrong. Now many people gather together. Even if they didn’t know each other, they will inevitably chat when they get close. Slowly Now that I'm familiar, seeing that everyone's life is similar to my own, I feel more relaxed.
So a group of people chattered, scolded the government, and scolded the world. Those who could get along began to circle around and gather together, and those who couldn't get along would automatically stay away and find other places to sleep, and gradually there were cold spots. Small groups, people of different ages, they also pay attention to who they play well with and who they can't play well. People have a channel to express their feelings. Mental outlook has been raised.
Listening to the chatter from downstairs, Mu Nan said: "Brother, do you think it's like my parents' time now, when the factory was off work, a group of people walked out of the factory together, lived in Datong shop, ate With a big pot of rice."
Qin Huai smiled and said, "It's quite similar. People can always find a new way to adapt to various adversities."
This venomous sun seems to make people sleep around the clock, work and studies are basically suspended, it seems to be the end of the world, but it was only at the beginning because the familiar way of life was broken, so it caused— Temporary chaos, any change in lifestyle is a turmoil, but after the turmoil, there will always be peace.
It's this turbulent and peaceful transition that they're living in right now.
Because of the sun exposure, the land is dry and cracked, not to mention the city, even the countryside can’t grow food. The reason caused by this climate can’t be overcome for the time being. It’s better to go to the countryside than to stay in the city at this time because no matter what Where there is land, people can feel at ease. This is the instinct of the people of their country for thousands of years, and the countryside is not like the city. They buy as much as they eat. They may put the grain of the season in the granary , every household has a lot of surplus food, even if there is no food, as long as there is food, they will not die of hunger.
But apart from these two points, the rural area is relatively sparsely populated, unlike the convenient management of each community in the city, so there is no such condition to distribute supplies like the city. If the power is cut off, it may not be able to wait for a short time. When it comes to emergency repairs, and even more remote ones, it is difficult to send them to the hospital in case of an emergency. After all, ambulances can't rescue them in the city now, so there are no resources to go to the countryside. Therefore, there are good and bad in both urban and rural areas, but no matter what, there have been no people who died of starvation. Most of them died of heat or medical shortages, and some serious diseases could not be rescued immediately and were delayed. And die, but this is really impossible.
After gradually adapting to this change in the general environment, no matter whether it is the city or the countryside, after a few months of transition and exploration, they have gradually found a new way of life, and the gradual stabilization of the social order has also given the government— There is a buffer time. It is said that the government is now building indoor fields. Although the cost of planting will increase a lot in the future, it will not fail under such exposure.
With the support of the government, the resumption of work in some factories has gradually begun to show signs of resumption, as well as the resumption of classes in schools. Some colleges and universities are now resuming online classes, but the difference is that the current online classes are different from the epidemic period. Classes are held in the evening, no matter what, as long as the studies of their generation still have the conditions to learn, they cannot be wasted.
Although it is impossible for life to return to the past overnight, the opening of cooling spots, the gradual resumption of work of some factories, and the start of online teaching in schools, all these changes tell people that even if the climate never recovers in the future Until the past, but their lives will gradually get better. As long as the country is still there, that family will definitely be there.
Therefore, except for being unable to go out during the day, the lack of food harvests has led to skyrocketing prices, and the continuous high temperature shutdown has caused many people to be laid off. However, these things have gradually stabilized amidst the government's distribution of supplies and changes in the living environment. The news has been broadcasting in the past few days, and the country's next step will be to start a census of residents' information and start a gradual distribution work.
It is not the first time that their country has taken the road of contract labor distribution. They are very experienced. They are treated specially during special periods. The difficulty will pass, and it will be fine. Before that, in order to allow citizens to have a normal environment for resuming work, the state began to strike hard, vigorously rectifying theft and robbery, inciting people's hearts to disrupt social order and other illegal acts. The first measure was to live broadcast the death penalty.
The worst thing in their province is the doomsday thugs, so they are the first targets to be stabbed. Of course, there are also some inhumane and cruel remarks on the Internet, but before the government made a sound, it has been sprayed by a group of netizens and almost shut down the Internet.
The quarrels on the Internet continued to debate whether to use heavy punishment like this—until the day of the live broadcast, Mu Nan turned on the computer, but did not click on the live broadcast link, but looked at Qin Huai: "Do you want to watch it?" I've seen it, but I don't really feel much, and even feel like I'm watching a movie documentary. Anyway, as long as it doesn't happen to him across the Internet, what he sees with his own eyes doesn't seem to touch him very much.
Qin Huai said: "Watch it if you want to, and don't watch it if you don't want to. Anyway, the picture must not be too bloody." Even if the country uses severe punishment now, it is impossible to directly burst the screen with blood.
Mu Nan turned on the live broadcast, and then said to Qin Huai, "You can watch it." He had watched it, but Qin Huai hadn't. If you haven't seen it, let's watch it.
Seeing Mu Nan leaning next to him and swiping his phone, Qin Huai thought he didn't dare to look at it, so naturally he didn't force it, so he lowered the volume of the computer, and moved the screen towards him, but it was not so much watching the live broadcast as it was. It’s better to look at the barrage, the barrage was swiped, I don’t know what kind of celebration, everyone is either viciously cursing, or rejoicing, wishing to celebrate with the sky, as if watching someone execute the death penalty is such a joy Things - the same.
However, after the execution of the first shot, the bullet screen was quiet for a while, and then there were all kinds of blessings and candles on the screen. Qin Huai also didn't feel much about it, even though these people were arrested because of his report. When the second one was also executed, Qin Huai withdrew and found a cheerful variety show.
Mu Nan looked sideways at him: "Is the shooting finished?"
Qin Huai said: "No, two of them were shot, but the following process is similar, there is no need to watch the whole process, what are you looking at?"
Mu Nan handed the phone to Qin Huai: "Look at the pictures posted by others, the ones in the farmland, it looks like this."
The photo in the phone is a dry and cracked field without a little green, and the comparison picture is a golden rice field in the previous harvest. Confusion and panic about the future. But Mu Nan seldom reads the text, at most he browses the pictures to see the current situation outside.
In addition to these pictures, there are some indoor variety shows that are actually updated in real time. When they are updated, some outdoor pictures will be shown along with them. Of course, those outdoor pictures are all shot by drones. Even though it is still inevitable to lose due to the high temperature, but fortunately, the number of losses is not many, and a lot of video data has been taken.
Whenever those programs show things shot by drones, the scorching city, the empty streets, and the comparison with the prosperity and excitement of the past, it always makes people cry. Many people are waiting on the barrage. Looking forward to hoping to go back to the past.
But no matter how you look at it, you can’t go back to the past, but as far as the current situation in their country is concerned, they are really living a very good life now. Although the country bans the Internet, there are always some People have channels to get some news from abroad. Now the foreign countries are already in chaos.
Some borders are close to them, and many people who can be called refugees try to rush into the border to seek asylum in their country, and there have been several conflicts because of this. They are still lying at home peacefully, There are also materials distributed by the state. They only need to worry about a little rations and water and electricity every day. There are really many places they can’t see. Those who carry the five-pointed star on their shoulders are carrying this stable sky for them with their flesh and blood.
Thinking of what he saw on the Internet about foreign countries, Mu Nan was a little curious and said, "I don't know what TV Tokyo is broadcasting right now."
Qin Huai, who didn't watch the show and didn't follow the show, was puzzled in his soul: "What channel?"
Mu Nan explained to him: "Tv Tokyo is the best TV station in their country. No matter what major news happens in their own country or in the world, all the TV stations immediately follow up in real time. Only TV Tokyo can't be shaken. Anime was playing, and someone once said that if one day TV Tokyo stopped showing anime, it would definitely be the end of the world, and I wonder if this TV station in their country still shows anime.”
Mu Nan said, "Do you know why TV Tokyo is so good?"
Qin Huai shook his head: "Why?"
Mu Nan smiled and said: "Because there is only one word for the root cause, that is poverty, they don't have money to do other extra programs, and even the interruption of current affairs news can only be funded by pulling a banner on the screen, so it caused a lot of trouble. The maverick of their radio, and then became the greatest myth."
Qin Huai suddenly said, "If you like watching anime and drawing so much, then is Japan the country you most want to visit?"
Mu Nan didn't care: "I don't have anything to think about, but I did think about it before, and I will go to see it when I get a chance. After all, it is the hometown of animation, but there is no pity if I can't go there."
Qin Huai gently rubbed Mu Nan's hair, but didn't say anything else. They always thought that there was still a lot of time, so they wished they could finish feeling the bitterness of this life ahead of time, and save the later time to experience the sweetness slowly. , but never thought that maybe a person's life does not have as much time as thought.
After scrolling through the news, Mu Nan quit and looked through the WeChat group. When she saw the contents, she said directly to Qin Huai: "That man didn't come back after being rescued, but the one who vomited blood two days ago."
Qin Huai: "Did you tell me the reason?"
Mu Nan flipped through the wechat little by little, and said: "It seems that the man has been in pain for two days at home, but he always felt that it was over, so he didn't go to the hospital, but the pain suddenly became severe that day. No, I couldn’t bear it anymore, and it was too late to send it to the hospital, it seemed that the intestines were perforated, and then caused a lot of inflammation and infection, and I couldn’t be rescued in the end, brother, if you say this, is it equivalent to dying of pain?”
Qin Huai said: "That's right, if you feel uncomfortable somewhere, you must not hide it from me. A small problem will become a big problem if you endure it."
Mu Nan turned his head: "Take the opportunity to give me a class. The people in the group are too aggressive. They are complaining about that Master Fan, saying that his family has an energy car. When women ask for help in the group in the morning, if they can help , maybe that man won't die, what kind of logic is this, why don't you just go to the hospital when you feel uncomfortable two days ago, you won't even be able to use an energy vehicle."
Qin Huai: "Because of jealousy, now energy vehicles just need to be careful, take a rest to let the body cool off, - you can also run a few orders at night, and you can earn a week's rations by running - night, those people look at it The eyes are naturally sour."
Mu Nan: "Jealousy makes people completely unrecognizable. That Master Fan is too miserable. If he knows that he took the risk to send someone to the hospital, it would be so chilling to be arranged like this just because the person was not rescued."
Qin Huai put his hands on Mu Nan's phone: "Okay, don't look at it, what do you want to eat later? If you want to eat stir-fried vegetables, then you have to start cooking now."
Mu Nan thought for a while and said, "I want to eat barbecue."
Barbecue is basically something two or three friends make an appointment to go to the restaurant to eat together, and Mu Nan doesn't have such a good friend. Although if he invites classmates, most of them will accept the invitation, but eating with ordinary classmates is always a good idea. He felt that he needed to socialize, so that although he liked to eat barbecue, he never ate it when he was alone, except for a few dinners with classmates who did not have many times.
Seeing his eager eyes, how could Qin Huai refuse: "Then eat it, if you want to eat fresh cut meat, or eat it packed in a barbecue shop before?"
Before the weather got hot, Qin Huai found a slaughterhouse and bought freshly-killed pork, beef, and mutton. If he wanted to eat fresh-cut meat, he could take whatever part of the meat he wanted. He sliced it and put it on a plate for roasting. The ones in the barbecue restaurant are even simpler. They are marinated and packaged, and they can be eaten after they are grilled.
Mu Nan: "It's in the barbecue restaurant. The fresh meat can be saved for other dishes. Will our barbecue taste great?"
Qin Huai said: "No, the smell of barbecue is not as strong as that of hot pot, so you can't smell it."
Hearing what Qin Huai said, Mu Nan quickly put out the grill pan and induction cooker. The small coffee table can only hold an induction cooker and a grill pan, so the roast meat was directly placed on the floor, the pickles he made himself, and The lettuce that was washed earlier and put directly into the space, and the marinated kelp that Qin Huai made before was cut into shreds. Before the test, Mu Nan began to swallow: "It's so complete, I really want to post it on Moments."
Qin Huai smiled: "You post it, it's fine to set it to only be visible to me."
Mu Nan took out his mobile phone and turned on the beauty camera, then asked Qin Huai to pose for a barbecue, took many pictures of him from various angles, and then chose the best one and sent it to Moments that only Qin Huai could see : My brother is so handsome!
Mu Nan—Sent, Qin Huai received a reminder on WeChat, clicked on it, and immediately brought a smile on his face and eyes, seeing Mu Nan holding his mobile phone to dump his photo printer, he said: "This needs to be printed out. ?"
Mu Nan didn't raise her head and said, "Of course, when my phone or computer breaks down, I print it out and stick it in my photo album. As long as I put it in the space, I can't lose it. Isn't it more reliable than those electronic ones? "
Qin Huai poured the dipping sauce for him, and saw that he was going to make a printout right now, so he urged: "There is a lot of time to make it slowly, let's eat first, which one do you want to eat? Pork belly or secret fat beef ?”
Mu Nan put the things on the bed, and quickly sat down at the small coffee table: "Roast the fat beef first, the fat beef is easy to cook, and when eating the fat beef, roast the pork belly, the pork belly should be burnt a little, it's delicious."
Seasoning - dipping, kimchi, lettuce - roll, the first bite of meat Mu Nan fed to Qin Huai's mouth: "It's hard work on the barbecue, I'll reward you, ah!"
Qin Huai opened his mouth to eat in one bite, and Mu Nan quickly asked, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Qin Huai muttered, "Are you asking about meat or kimchi?"
Mu Nan also made one for herself: "Of course it's all of them. Well, it's delicious. I've tried many kinds of this dipping sauce, and it tastes the best. I bought several boxes, but I don't know if it's enough." - Box Twenty packs, one pack and one catty, this kind of chili powder dipping sauce is not eaten every day, so he only bought seven boxes, which just happened to make up the maximum discount in the store.
Qin Huai said: "If you don't have enough food, I'll adjust it for you. I bought a lot of dried peppers. When the time comes, I will grind them by hand and fry them for you. It's quite simple."
Mu Nan picked up the separate long chopsticks and flipped them over: "Ask, if you were to live on a deserted island, and you could only bring three necessities, what would you bring?"
Qin Huai smiled and said, "Bring my Nan Nan."
Mu Nan: "Then you ask me."
Qin Huai: "If you were living on a deserted island and could only bring three necessities, what would you bring?"
Mu Nan smiled and said, "Bring the omnipotent Qin Huai!"
Seeing Mu Nan eating happily, Qin Huai didn't say anything to let him eat less disappointment, but just said: "Remember to eat some Xiaoshi later, I specially bought the traditional Chinese medicine Xiaoshi pills, made of hawthorn, sour and sweet It's not too sweet."
Mu Nan naturally agreed, eating too much meat really needs to be digested.
Jian Chu, who was lying on the bed, was swiping her phone, but suddenly stopped, and tried to smell something in the air with her nose up. —Yu Zibai, who was tidying up the house next to him, looked at him: "What's wrong?"
Jian Chu said: "Have you smelled a smell of barbecue?"
Yu Zibai sniffed it twice, and frowned in doubt: "No."
Jian Chu tried her best to sniff it twice, and then sighed: "Maybe I had hallucinations, but it disappeared after careful sniffing."
Yu Zibai smiled: "Want to eat meat? I haven't eaten the steamed buns delivered by the neighbor last time. Let's steam two and eat." Last time there was a power outage, but fortunately they had a lot of ice cubes in the freezer and specially used quilts Cover the entire freezer, and although it melted a lot after the call, at least the meat is not sour, and it can be eaten now after being re-frozen.
Jian Chu rubbed his slightly deflated stomach, wondering whether to eat instant noodles for another two days or eat steamed buns to satisfy his cravings when he was too tired, or eat now.
Before he could get confused, Yu Zibai made a decision for him: "Eat it, but you can't eat steamed ones, there is not so much water, let's eat fried buns, fry them with oil."
In the end, Jian Chu touched Yu Zibai with a fried bun exuding an attractive aroma between chopsticks: "Thank you for our lovely neighbor."
Yu Zibai smiled: "Well, thank you to our lovely neighbors."
