Chapter 1298: Living in the days of natural disaster (26)
What’s even more outrageous is that Secretary Deng actually sent an email asking her, in addition to guarding against waves of natural disasters, whether she also needs to defend against aliens? Will Star Wars be triggered after natural disasters?
Xu Yin twitched the corner of her mouth, recalling the natural disaster warning letter she sent to the government. It seemed to be nothing else. Why did the other party sound like she was from the future?
I typed a line of words back: Don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors!
A few days later, the rumors in the market changed. It was said that the official came out to refute the rumors. Aliens and other things were all false. The secret tunnels and air-raid shelters were used by the military in the past. They were not opened for the safety of the people. I called on the public to "
Don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors, don’t make rumors.” Just watch and help each other and wait for the spring to bloom.
"Let me tell you! There are no aliens! If aliens really come to invade, how can we still be so peaceful?"
"Haha! Old Zhao, that's not what you said before. You said you had seen aliens with your own eyes. They were short and ugly, but powerful and mysterious."
"Bah! Don't hurt me. I have always been a good law-abiding citizen. I can't make up random things that will disappear."
"..."
An insider clarified Xu Yin's doubts: "The patrol team talked to him two days ago and said that if he kept talking nonsense about aliens, they sent him to Central City to move bricks. This is not good behavior."
"Central City?" Xu Yin heard people mention the underground central city under construction more than once, and asked curiously, "Will we have to move there in the future?"
"That's right. The electricity generated by the power plant is, firstly, for the central city, and secondly, for scientific research units and food and clothing manufacturers. How can people live in residential areas without electricity? But the base can only be transitional. Who can bear to live like this for a long time?
."
When it came to the current situation of the base, everyone started talking about it:
"I can't stand it for a long time. I'm coughing up phlegm in the morning on the upper bunk bed. I've never washed my stinky feet on the lower bunk bed. I'm like a sandwich biscuit. I can tolerate it for a year and a half, but if I have to endure it for a lifetime, I'd rather freeze to death as soon as possible.
Pull it down!"
"It doesn't matter if it's just dirty and smelly. There are people who stayed up late at night and touched every other bed. My wife was lying next to me and she was harassed several times."
"It would be great to move to the central city. I heard from my cousin who works in the city hall that the central city is divided into several districts ABC. District A is almost completed. The upper floors are for office and commercial use. The lower floors are divided into residential areas according to family arrangements.
Private suite. However, I heard that there will be a lottery, and families with large contributions and large population will be given priority. I am afraid that singles will have to transition to the base for a longer period of time..."
"I heard that after the Central City is fully completed, all citizens will move there and new citizen cards will be issued. In the future, the citizen cards will be implanted into the skin of the wrist, and the facial recognition and card swiping will be integrated. If you want to impersonate someone else, you will not be able to enter or leave.
You have to rely on this to get around. Without a citizen card, you can’t go anywhere.”
"This is to prevent those gangsters from turning into bandits and occupying the land as kings, right?"
"Recently, there have been a lot of signs like this. I read a few post-apocalyptic novels, and I thought I could be like the protagonist in the novel and fight and kill to get to the top."
"It seems like it would be better to have stricter controls so that those with loose ideas can have no loopholes to take advantage of, and we ordinary people can feel more at ease."
Xu Yin: "..."
This is not good news for her.
No matter how strict the central city's management is, for orphans without parents, it is like a lamb's tea breaking into a tiger's den. How can they still have the leisure and ease they have now?
But it doesn't matter if you don't get a citizen card. The natural disaster will eventually pass, and your friends will grow up. It is impossible to live in an isolated bunker all their lives. It is also a cruel deprivation of freedom in their lives.
Fortunately, it will take at least a year and a half before the central city is fully completed. During this period, let the friends eat well and drink well to grow strong. At the same time, learn as much knowledge as possible, practice self-defense skills, and be fully prepared to integrate into the complex society.
.
When Xu Dong's seventh birthday came, Xu Yin took out a set of Ultraman dolls prepared in advance and a fresh milk cake she made herself.
Xu Dong was so happy that he almost flew up: "The gods are so kind to me! But hasn't the gods been here for a long time? Doesn't he know that what I like is no longer Ultraman, but swords? I want to become a martial arts master.
!Hey! Ha!”
The big goose next to him opened his mouth and took the Ultraman from Xu Dong's hand.
"Old Bai!" Xu Dong was so angry that he chased after him, "Don't think that because you hatched a bunch of goslings and are our heroes, you can just steal people's things. This is a gift from the gods to me, not yours! Even if I
What I like most now is the sword, and I won’t give Ultraman to you, you will cry for it! Come back! Give it back to me!”
Xu Yin: "..."
He turned to Xu Xi and asked: "Xixi, what gift do you want?"
The next person to celebrate her birthday is Xu Xi.
Xu Xi tilted his head: "I also want a sword and clothes that float."
"..."
What TV series are you watching?
Since they were given an hour of free TV time after dinner every day, as long as these two guys were awake, they would talk about the plot even when they were growing vegetables and feeding fish.
Xu Yin became immune after hearing it too much. She would rather put her mind aside and think about what preparations they needed to make for the coming high temperature.
The planting base next door has already harvested two crops, and now they are growing my friends’ favorite watermelons, melons, strawberries, and blueberries.
She planted the rest of the land with rice, wheat, cotton, sugar cane, mushrooms at the bottom, and the fungus is about to mature.
At that time, if you can't finish the vegetables and fruits, you can bake them into dried fruits and vegetables, mushrooms and fungus can also be dried into dried goods, which can be stored for a long time.
In order to hide her from others, she also expanded and deepened the cellar of the orphanage, built baskets with wooden boards, filled the baskets with soil and planted cold-resistant vegetables. Then she would bring out some potatoes and dried vegetables.
The bunker is the ultimate escape route for her and her friends. She doesn't plan to tell anyone until the natural disaster ends and everything returns to normal.
Not only is she busy, but so are the people at the base.
Although the management did not disclose that there will be high temperatures after the extreme cold, they have been reminding citizens through radio and broadcasts to prepare for floods when the temperature rises and the ice and snow melt.
If the high temperature suddenly falls like the extreme cold, the snow on the ground will be enough to flood the entire city into a vast ocean.
For this reason, the base has been working overtime to build a central city with level 10 defense. It is not only warm in winter and cool in summer. The key is that the snow melt caused by high temperatures, flood backflow and ensuing wildfires are taken into consideration during the construction.
In the event of an earthquake, triple insurance of drainage wells, check valves, and reverse water pipes were designed, and sufficient anti-seismic joints and smoke filter ventilation vents were reserved, aiming to build the underground city into a high-tech city that would stand firm in natural disasters.
Major bases are already organizing snow plowing teams to push the snow around the base as far as possible and transport it to valleys and ravines in the suburbs to reduce drainage in urban areas. By the way, they can also pick back the vegetables and kale along the way.
.
Joining the snow shoveling team can earn contribution points, which can later be exchanged for various rights and interests in the central city. The people responded very positively, and young men and women came out to work.
Xu Yin has also reduced the frequency of going out. In the morning, before dawn, she and her friends shovel the snow outside the entrance of the orphanage bit by bit.
Although the vegetables grown in the cellar are used to hide them, it would be very distressing if they were actually flooded by snow water.
