Chapter 769 769 Farewell
Author: Long Boat Crossing the Moon
"I want to stay." Qi Yuan suddenly said.
"Now is not the time to argue about this." Ye Fu whispered, "Jiang Run and I can protect ourselves, but if we enter the dungeon, what will happen to the people outside? The first is the issue of food and drink. If I am not here, what will they eat? Nearly
Are 40,000 people allowed to starve to death outside?"
"Then let's stay outside together. We all share the same difficulties. I won't hide behind you and enjoy this blessing. Brother Song, please help me take care of Xuxu."
Qi Yuan is determined to stay outside, and no one can persuade him to do so.
Xuxu looked at him eagerly, as if she knew this would be a long separation. She didn't cry, but just looked at Qi Yuan quietly.
Others also wanted to stay outside, but the dungeon needed some reliable adults to maintain order and leave it to others. Everyone was worried. After all, Ye Fu had put a lot of food and water inside.
"Qi Yuan stays while the others enter the dungeon. The dungeon will be closed soon. Please take care."
"Sister Ye Fu, Brother Jiang, Uncle Qi. You must take care and nothing will happen to you."
Ye Fu hugged Wenwen and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to us."
After hugging everyone one by one and saying goodbye, Ye Fu didn't know whether they would meet again in half a year, a year, or never again. She felt a little sad that the older she got, the more sentimental she became.
When the underground city was about to close, the red light at the door began to sound an alarm. When the countdown was ten times, the people standing inside waved goodbye to the people outside.
"Cherish it."
"You too."
The door of the dungeon slowly closed, like a life-and-death line, completely isolating the people inside from the people outside. Ye Fu and Jiang Run looked at each other. Although they were sad to say goodbye, they still had a lot to do.
Qi Yuan stood there, waiting for all the red lights outside the dungeon to go out, then turned his back and wiped his eyes.
"Let's go, I have to deliver saplings."
"Are you okay?" Ye Fu looked at him worriedly.
"I'm fine. Don't worry. Although I'm a little reluctant, I think it's more meaningful to stay outside. Fang Ming and Brother Song will take care of Xuxu. I'm relieved. She will grow up to be a big girl when we meet again.
.”
Ye Fu patted Qi Yuan on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we will meet again. We will not die, we will all live."
"Well, I know that from now on, the three of us will depend on each other."
Ye Fu glanced at the dense crowd behind him, "It's not the three of us, it's all of us."
Looking at a pair of confused yet determined eyes, Ye Fu turned around and walked into the crowd. She took the loudspeaker and stood on a huge rock.
"Are you scared?"
"Don't be afraid." A clear and powerful voice sounded. Ye Fu looked and saw an elder sister in the crowd looking at Ye Fu with tears in her eyes.
"Sister Ye, we are not afraid."
"Yes, we are not afraid. Anyway, I have made money by living till now. If it weren't for Sister Ye and Brother Jiang, we would have starved to death. As long as we live, we have to risk our lives to plant all the trees. At worst, we and
Blue Star will be destroyed together."
"Isn't it just one life? I'm willing to risk it."
"It's been more than ten years since the end of the world. I've really had enough of this kind of life. I might as well give it a try and even if I die, I'll die well."
"Yes, give it a try. It is said that man can defeat God. With so many of us, we will definitely be able to defeat God and save Blue Star."
…
Listening to the shouts, Ye Fu's eyes gradually became firmer.
"Okay, let's give it a try. Everyone listen to my command. Everyone takes the saplings and hoes, follows their respective teams, and starts work."
The black soil and water have been prepared for a long time. Although everyone was curious about where the water came from, they didn't ask much. Now, everyone wants to plant trees to fight pollution. Every era has unsung heroes who are willing to die.
Those who stayed knew very well that the probability of survival was very low, but they still chose to stay. No one even fled or objected.
Are they not heroes?
Perhaps one day, Blue Star will regain its former vitality, and even if no one will remember their efforts, this land will.
"Qi Yuan, go and select three hundred young and strong men."
"do what?"
"Dig the underground passage. Jiang Run said that it would take up to three months. There will be no way to stay above. The underground city is so big, and we can only squeeze so many people in with all our efforts. Are these people just waiting to die? We have to prepare a backstop.
Lu, I'm going into space to prepare oxygen bottles in the next few days, so keep an eye on me and ask Jiang Run to contact me if you have anything."
Qi Yuan frowned, "Where to start digging?"
"I've already drawn the map of the underground passage. The location is right in front. I've marked it. If you don't understand, just ask Jiang Run. I need to prepare some oxygen bottles and bags just in case."
Qi Yuan made an OK gesture, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
Ye Fu talked to Jiang Run and returned to the tent. After entering the space, she found the mini-tiller. Ye Fu planned to plow the black soil and plant wheat. She was accustomed to taking precautions when doing things, so she took half of it in the underground city.
Although the food was not sufficient, she always felt uneasy.
In the past few months, most people actually don’t have tents. Although Ye Fu distributed clothes and shoes to them, there were not that many tents in the space to distribute to everyone, so most people rested in the open air and went wherever they felt sleepy.
Lie down to sleep, and when you wake up, get up and continue working.
The Sijiqing in the breeding area grows taller than Ye Fu. Once the underground tunnel is dug, she will give each person twenty kilograms of hay. The hay can be woven into straw mats, which will make sleeping more comfortable.
Ye Fu is not worried about the lives of the people in the dungeon. As long as they keep to themselves, the fuel inside can support the operation of the dungeon for fifty years.
There are also planting areas in the underground city, and everyone can be self-sufficient. As long as they work hard, there is no need to worry about food.
The only thing that may be lacking is water, but there is a warehouse entrance outside the dungeon. This entrance is one-way. People outside can store things in. As long as Ye Fu is alive, she can refill the water for people inside.
After Jiang Run finished his work outside, he went into the space to help. He filled the water tank with water, and pulled out the saplings from the ground and sorted them. Worried that there would not be enough saplings, he found some pine cones and started to raise seedlings.
Ye Fu had tilled twenty acres and was exhausted. She ate something casually. After returning to the cabin, she didn't have the energy to wash up, so she fell down on the sofa in the living room and went to sleep.
Four hours later, the alarm clock rang. Ye helped a carp stand up, went to the bathroom to wash briefly, had breakfast and continued working in the fields.
In order to save time, people working outside only ate noodles and compressed biscuits soaked in water. In just a few days, Qi Yuan lost a lot of weight.
The people who dug the underground passage have already dug the entrance. The inside is like a maze. In order to accommodate tens of thousands of people, Ye Fu designed this underground passage with reference to air-raid shelters.
