Chapter 1307: Living in the days of natural disaster (35)

In a flash, the four children had been living in Central City for half a year, part-time while working and studying.

In the first two months, because the floods had not receded, the three protective doors in the living area of ​​the central city were always closed.

In the third month, the flood receded a little. After ensuring that ground water would not flow back, the government began to organize young and capable volunteers to go out with the army for rescue and disaster relief.

They need to move animals, salvage human or animal carcasses and burn them in time to avoid causing a plague;

It is also necessary to salvage vehicles, furniture, and electrical appliances that have drifted out of residential buildings and factories. The usable ones after repair will be transferred to the second-hand market, and the unusable ones will be scrapped and recycled. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to whether there is food in these items.

It was nothing in extremely cold weather, but now that the temperature has suddenly risen, it is easy for a large number of bacteria to breed after food spoils and rots.

Others still live comfortably in underground cities where the temperature is suitable.

Xu Yin once had the idea of ​​​​sneaking out to see what was going on outside, and returning to the bunker of the orphanage to see how the little animals were living there.

However, she needs to swipe her wrist chip and face to enter and leave. Even if she uses stilts, wears a loose coat, and activates random skills to disguise herself as a tough guy in his thirties, the first protective door will stop her:

"Didi - Warning! Warning! Xu Yin, female, eight years old, underage..."

No way at all.

We can only give up and hope that the flood will recede soon and people can freely enter and exit the central city.

Happily, the adopted rutin chickens started laying eggs while the volunteers braved the scorching sun and heat to salvage supplies from the floods.

Although they are small, they can't bear to lay eggs every day. The two rutin chickens can harvest two eggs every day. The four children take turns to feed them and eat one every other day. In addition, the subsidies received from the logistics department and the hidden eggs in the mountain climbing when they came here.

The can of milk powder in the bag is quite nutritious. At least he has grown a few centimeters since he moved into Central City.

In the past six months, I have harvested two crops of vegetable fields cultivated by myself. Those with a short growing season have already harvested two crops, and those with a long growing season have also reached the harvest period. Therefore, I have been busier than usual recently, but I am very happy to be busy.

The Logistics Department’s recent subsidies to minors and the elderly include an extra tomato and a bunch of cowpeas, but it’s thanks to their efforts!

"Grandpa Liu said he would reward us!"

When eating in the cafeteria at noon, Xu Dong was very happy as he gnawed on the dry corn buns.

"What will we be rewarded with?" Xu Xi looked forward to it, "Something delicious or fun?"

At this time, the radio in the restaurant rang, and the announcer's voice trembled with excitement: "Listener friends! Here is a piece of good news: After half a year, the floods have finally completely receded. Volunteers and the army have completed three rounds of elimination. Central City

The protective doors entering and exiting the ground will soon be opened to citizens across the city..."

"Wow--"

The diners cheered and expressed that they could no longer hold back and wanted to go outside for some fresh air.

The four children looked at each other happily.

"Can we go back to the orphanage?"

"I miss Lao Bai so much, the little cows!"

"Brother Ning, Yinyin, why don't we ask for leave in the afternoon and not go to school? Let's go back to the orphanage!"

"..."

It is impossible to skip classes, not to mention that the temperature outside is reaching 40 degrees even late at night, and exceeds 50 degrees during the hottest part of the day. Who dares to go out without sufficient preparation in advance?

Everyone was so suffocated that they wanted to go to the ground to get some air, but before they could get out of the second protective door, they were forced back to the central city by the heat that hit their faces.

"It's so hot! It's going to bake us! Sometimes it's extremely cold, and sometimes it's very hot. Is there any way for humans to survive?"

"How can you go out in such a hot weather? Why don't every household turn on the air conditioner and hide in their homes?"

"If you hide at home, you have to have a power plant that can provide electricity. How can you hide if there is a power outage?"

"Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is better to be extremely cold. At the worst, I can wear more down jackets and hide three or four floors underground. I can survive it no matter what."

"What a good thing! It's only half a catty! When it's extremely cold, the heating is also turned on on the third and fourth floors underground, otherwise what do you think?"

People gather together to chat when they have free time, and they don't even have time to go to work or go to school.

Previously, when we saw the temperature rising and the ice and snow melting, everyone was very happy, thinking that the extreme cold was over and we were finally looking forward to spring and the flowers were blooming.

Unexpectedly, the flowers bloomed, but failed again within a few days - how many flowers can withstand the scorching sun on this damn hot day?

"Have you heard? The central city in the neighboring province opened the protective door in advance due to the carelessness of the personnel on duty, causing dirty water to flow back in and causing infectious diseases. Now they are saying that some people who are not infected will be diverted to our place."

"I've heard that too, but even if we can make room for them here, aren't they afraid of dying on the road in such a hot day?"

"It seems that the Research Institute has invented a solar ice pack. The stronger the sun, the more air-conditioned the ice pack will be. Carrying it is like carrying a refrigerator. You will not be afraid of dehydration, heat stroke or heat stroke."

"Really? Where can I buy one? I want one, I'm so suffocated in the dungeon!"

The four children listened with great interest while having lunch in the cafeteria.

Since the flood receded, but because of the frighteningly high temperature, everyone wanted to go out but didn't dare to go out. They often gathered in the cafeteria to chat.

Who doesn’t like to hear gossip?

Children are no exception.

No, when he heard about the ice pack, Xu Dong was obsessed with it: "How could there be such a powerful thing?"

Xu Xi: "Is it made of ice? It must be cold when you carry it on your back, right?"

"It won't be cold anymore when you go out! It's very hot outside now."

"That's right! But such a good thing must have a lot of contribution value!"

As soon as Xu Xi finished speaking, an exclamation came from a few rows away: "You want five thousand contribution points? Who can afford it?"

Upon hearing the five thousand, Xu Xi happily blurted out: "We have enough!"

After saying that, he quickly covered his mouth for fear that others would hear him.

As external vegetable farmers of the planting department, they work half a day every day and receive 600 contribution points every month. In addition, Professor Liu gave them a bonus a few days ago, which adds up to almost 6,000 contribution points.

Xu Dong lowered his voice and was excited: "Then we can buy ice packs!"

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Yin quietly drank the mung bean soup she received with her lunch coupon to relieve the heat, without daring to say a word.

She sent the drawings of the solar ice pack to Secretary Deng, for which she spent all her existing energy points.

If her friends are so angry that they put down their hoes and stop cultivating crops after finding out, she will never get any energy points.

"Brother Ning, Yinyin, we are back!"

Xu Dong and Xu Xi were thinking about the ice packs and ran to the logistics department to inquire about them as soon as school was over, arriving home a step later than Xu Yin and the others.

"Aunt Liang from the Logistics Department said that there are no extra ice packs for sale right now because we have to catch up with the migrating troops first, but we can register first and have priority to buy when the goods are available. Xixi and I put the four of us together.

Everyone’s name has been reported!”
