The setting sun is setting, the sun is setting in the west.
There are several steel drums placed on several cars, and the steel drums are full of freshly cooked food.
Crunch——
The vehicle was parked in the center of the construction site, and the workers around it had already lined up, holding various bowls and basins in their hands.
Some people use 2-liter mineral water bottles with half cut off.
Some people hold steel basins.
Each is different.
Su Qian got out of the car and took out an extra-long iron spoon.
I climbed onto the car and opened the lid on the steel drum.
Clang!
The lid is lifted.
A strong aroma of food spreads.
This caused the construction workers queuing around to poke their heads in the air and swallow their saliva.
These people worked in shifts day and night, which consumed a lot of energy and was extremely hard.
Without something to replenish energy, I have no energy to work at all.
However, although the food has not gotten better recently, the portions have increased.
"From this aroma, I think it's sweet potato and millet porridge!" Liu Taishan straightened his neck, sniffed the aroma of food in the air, and said.
He was wearing overalls with two holes in his lower body, and he had cut the overalls down to only the upper part, changing from a pair of trousers to shorts.
There is a burr on the edge.
He was wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt on his upper body, and his hair was full of dust.
His face was tanned.
From his appearance and demeanor, there is no way to tell that he was once a founder of the Western League.
It is also impossible to see that he had controlled a listed group before the end of the world.
In the past few years of torture, he has experienced too much along the way from the west to the east.
It turned him into another person alive.
Zhang Rufeng next to him glanced at him and said:
"You didn't push the wire ring hard at all. It made me very tired!"
"If you do this again next time, I won't team up with you."
Liu Taishan said: "You went out to do transportation, why did you come back to do construction?"
"I can't drive, otherwise I wouldn't stay here and work hard."
Zhang Rufeng curled his lips, a thunderstorm disaster was coming soon.
No one knows whether a natural disaster will come early, or it would be safer to stay in the trading market and start construction.
Although it is a bit hard, I feel at ease.
They lined up, carrying different bowls and basins, and came to Su Qian's car one by one.
Soon, it was their turn.
"Come on, next one."
Liu Taishan hurried over, holding a huge enamel cup.
He raised his hand and looked at Su Qian.
Su Qian scooped it into the steel bucket until the porridge on the iron spoon was even.
Then he poured it into the enamel cup in Liu Taishan's hand.
Very precise, not a drop fell out.
Looking at a spoon full of millet and sweet potato porridge, Liu Taishan had a satisfied smile on his face.
Hehehehe ran to the side.
He took out two chopsticks made from tree branches from his trouser pocket.
He drank it in small sips.
The millet and sweet potato porridge I cooked today is very thick, and I can fill up a large bowl of it.
Only those who have experienced hunger truly know the pain of not having food.
Being able to eat until eighty cents full made him very satisfied.
He calculated the points he could get today and how much food these points could be exchanged for.
It has been some time since I joined the Da Zhangshu Base.
They have never used these points to redeem anything valuable.
It's just used to exchange for food during natural disasters.
It feels so good to be able to calculate and see your points increase every day.
While drinking porridge, he made simple calculations.
He found that if he only needed to maintain one bowl of porridge a day, he could use points to persist for four or five months.
After all, they are cooperative personnel, not non-staff members of the base.
call--
Zhang Rufeng sat next to Liu Taishan, and the two sat on the formwork in front of the construction site.
There are too many nails in the construction site and it is very dusty.
We can only eat outside here.
"Rufeng, look at the house behind here, it's probably for us to live in." Liu Taishan said to Zhang Rufeng while drinking porridge.
"Who asked for it?"
Zhang Rufeng's accent changed as he drank porridge.
"After receiving reliable information, our collaborators can enter the Oil City."
"True or false?" Liu Taishan looked at Zhang Rufeng with joy.
If you can enter the oil city, who would want to stay in a trading market that has not yet been built?
After all, the trading market has not yet been built, the conditions are very crude, and it is very inconvenient to get water.
For such a large trading market, only four wells have been drilled.
It doesn’t matter if the living conditions are poor.
More importantly, it is safer to stay in Oil City.
Zhang Rufeng saw Liu Taishan's surprised expression and said helplessly:
"After all, we are also serious partners of Da Zhangshu Base. Compared with those people from the affiliated forces in the north and the southern paradise, we are also our own people after all."
"I told you, when we come out of the headquarters base, you can see if our points are earned faster than in the headquarters base!"
Liu Taishan nodded with a smile on his face:
"Indeed, based on our current points, it is estimated that when this trading market is built, we can become non-staff members."
There was longing in his eyes, longing for a better life.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
But if life and death are involved, it is easy to move from luxury to frugality.
Because if you don't accept it, that's death.
They drank porridge and watched the sunset.
The evening wind blew slowly, and there was a different kind of comfort.
Liu Taishan's heart was filled with a sense of peace and relaxation.
Having been in charge of a large listed group back then, he had never felt this relaxed.
At that time, he almost got whatever he wanted.
But there is only no happiness.
My nerves are tense every day, and I am troubled internally and externally.
It seems that he is the president of a large company, but he is not as comfortable as others think.
Desire, the desire to continuously gain more market share.
But at this moment.
After a busy day, which left him half exhausted, his back was still wet with sweat.
But in this gentle evening breeze, I realized happiness while drinking the sweet potato porridge that I once despised but now found extremely delicious.
He squinted, and the memories in his mind flashed through his mind like a slideshow.
There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
Only then did he understand that only by being content can he be happy.
.....
Night falls.
After Li Yu took a shower, he spoke to his second uncle at the Da Zhangshu base headquarters.
"Yes, I will go to the north tomorrow, and then return to Oil City that afternoon. I will return to the Da Zhangshu base headquarters at about noon the day after tomorrow."
"Do you want to go to the military base?" asked the second uncle.
Li Yu thought for a while and found out that the Wu City Military Base is between Oil City and Da Zhangshu Base.
There's no need to take detours, just go along the way.
"Let's go check it out."
He still remembered that there was still some supplies left at the military base.
"Okay, what does Mr. Tiger of Southern Paradise say?" the second uncle asked.
Li Yu remembered the news Xiao Jun told him when he came back in the evening.
He smiled and said: "Master Hu will come over, and he has left dozens of people in the Southern Paradise."
"Why are we leaving people there? Maybe there is some kind of treasure." The second uncle joked.
"I don't know about that. He must have his own considerations."
Li Yu continued:
"In addition, another group of survivors came in to trade today, which feels pretty good. More survivors may come in in the future. As long as they come in and survive this natural disaster, our trading market will be complete."
After my second uncle who was far away at the Da Zhangshu Base heard the news.
He stood up from the stool happily.
"Very good!"
"This is a good start."
Li Yu slowly put the cigar in his mouth and said with a smile:
"Yes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that you have started, everything will be fine later."
....
The two chatted for half an hour, and Li Yu simultaneously learned about the construction process at the Da Zhangshu Base.
The lightning protection conductive system is now completely installed.
As for other things, there is also a careful second uncle watching over there.
At the specific implementation level, Li Yu is not as good as his second uncle.
The second uncle always has a lot of patience to handle things bit by bit.
But Li Yu is more forward-looking in some strategic directions.
Half an hour later, Li Yu put down the headset.
My hair, which I washed before, is now dry naturally.
I looked at the time, it was eight o'clock in the evening.
He read for a while the science fiction e-book he downloaded before the end of the world.
The title of the book is somewhat interesting: "Rebirth in the Apocalypse: Winning a Prize of 30 Million at the Beginning"
The protagonist in it has the same name as him, but the book has not been completely updated and has only been updated to more than 300 chapters.
After watching for a while, he lay down and rested.
....
Nine o'clock.
A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky.
Lights up the room.
Urgent.
Deafening thunder and lightning followed closely.
Click!
Boom!
This thunderstorm directly woke up Li Yu who was resting in bed.
His face was full of fear.
He hurried to the window and looked outside.
The patter--
A thunderstorm was followed by light rain.
Are thunderstorms and natural disasters brought forward?
ah?
His pupils were full of shock.
Did I remember it wrong? Did I really remember it wrong?
I remember it correctly!
What's more, the time period Qingyuan mentioned is not today.
Li Yu frowned, quickly put on his shoes, grabbed the gun and ran outside.
If thunderstorms and natural disasters occur earlier, something big will happen.
Third uncle is still staying in the north, and he is still staying in Oil City.
The most important thing is that the wall of the trading market is still under construction!
this!!
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard Ju Tianrui's urgent voice coming from the intercom:
"City Lord, it's raining!"
Li Yu quickly replied: "I know you asked the construction workers to suspend construction. Thunderstorms are no joke. A lightning strike will kill people. The construction site is too dangerous."
"Yes!" Ju Tianrui hurriedly ran out of the room despite the drizzle.
While running, I contacted Xiao Jundongtai and the others to deal with it.
But.
Li Yu had just walked downstairs and hadn't walked a few steps.
The rain stopped suddenly.
Stopped?!
The whole raining process lasted less than five minutes.
Just as Ju Tianrui contacted Xiao Jun and the others to make arrangements, the rain stopped.
He was under a streetlight and his mind was a little confused.
Just at this time, Li Yu saw him.
"Laoju."
Ju Tianrui turned around, saw Li Yu, and ran over quickly.
"City Lord, the rain has stopped again!"
Li Yu frowned and said to Ju Tianrui:
"Contact the ministers at the headquarters base and the northern border and ask them if it is raining there."
"Yes." Ju Tianrui immediately understood what Li Yu meant by doing this.
Quickly ran to the conference room.
Li Yu frowned and walked towards the conference room while thinking.
A few minutes later.
Ju Tianrui looked at Li Yu with a puzzled face, while Li Yu sat on the stool next to him and pondered.
"City Lord, maybe this is just an exception?"
Li Yu thought for a long time, recalling whether anything similar like this had happened in his previous life before the thunderstorm and natural disaster.
But no matter how much I recall, there is no such thing.
I just contacted the headquarters base and the northern border, and there were no thunderstorms or light rain there.
Maybe it's really an exception.
Li Yu narrowed his glasses and said:
"It should be an exception, but this incident has awakened us and we must speed up."
"The plan was changed from withdrawing transport personnel after eight days to prohibiting all transport personnel from going out after three days."
"Use existing building materials and build as high as you can."
"In addition, let Mr. Hu and the others hurry up. If something like this happens, we must be prepared in advance."
Ju Tianrui looked serious and nodded heavily: "Understood!"
"But, City Lord, do you still want to go to the north?"
Li Yu thought for a while and said, "Go, but I'll be back tomorrow."
"We will return directly to the headquarters base the day after tomorrow. You don't have to worry about this."
Hearing Li Yu say this, Ju Tianrui breathed a sigh of relief.
