Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Niu Niu's body was quite clean, but Mu Nan still scrubbed Niu Niu with water, mainly on her feet. It is estimated that Wu Zheng and the others took good care of Niu Niu. After a little cleaning, I sprayed insect repellent spray on my body, and then I brought it into the room. The floor heating was turned on in the room. It has been on for two days, and the temperature has risen, but the air conditioner has not been turned off, and the room is still a little bit It's cool, and you need to wear thick sweaters, but if you wear too many clothes, you will feel uncomfortable, so the air conditioner is also turned on, and the whole room is warm, and you only need to wear a home jacket with fleece.

As soon as Niuniu entered the room, she obediently lay down on the carpet next to the sofa. Mu Nan put a bowl of water for it to drink when it was thirsty. mouth, or put it in a bowl, Niu Niu would not eat it.

Mu Nan teased for a while, seeing that Niu Niu was not lively when she was around her master, she lay down lazily and didn't play with him, the little interest in playing with dogs disappeared immediately, so she didn't care about Niu Niu anymore, just took the water bottle Going outside to water his planting business, but as soon as he moved, Niuniu got up and followed behind him, Mu Nan clicked his tongue lightly: "If you play with you, you ignore me, if you don't play with you, you have to follow me, What do you want to do?"

Niu Niu looked at him innocently, seeing that he would not leave, she sat down on her buttocks, and when Mu Nan moved, Niu Niu stood up accordingly. Mu Nan has never had a dog before, but she thinks Niuniu's appearance is quite interesting, so she moves and stops to tease it. In the end, I don't know if it was annoyed by being teased, or because Niuniu was smart enough to know that he wouldn't leave, so she just lay down on the door, wherever Mu Nan was, her eyes would look there, but she didn't follow.

Mu Nan carefully watered each pot. Those sprouts that have sprouted are so tender and green, it makes people feel comfortable to look at them. As long as the heating in the room is constant, the tomatoes and peppers in his pots will definitely grow. of.

After returning to work, Qin Huai did not go with the few programmers who had made an appointment to go with him before. He didn't know if they would go or not, so he left first, even if he had goggles, and all kinds of cold-proof hats and masks were strictly worn. To be honest, when he got to the office building, there were patches of icicles on his mask and hat.

This is the first time for him who grew up in the south and stayed in a relatively warm area even if he went abroad. This is the first time he has personally experienced this level of coldness. There is no floor heating in the office building. Although the air conditioner is turned on, the air conditioner can The increase in temperature is not much, as soon as he entered the room, he could feel a rush of heat, but after sitting for a while, his body was still cold. Fortunately, he wore a lot of clothes, and there was a set of arctic winter clothes outside the down jacket, so After taking off the winter clothes, it is just right to wear a down jacket indoors.

They recruited more than a dozen of them from the public before, but only seven passed the basic assessment, and the other six lived in apartment buildings. Because they lived close together, they made an appointment to go together when they went to work. Today they They all came separately, but only three came, and the other three did not come for some unknown reason.

When they saw Qin Huai, they said, "We thought you weren't coming either. When we were at the intersection, we took a look around and didn't see you."

Qin Huai just poured a cup of hot water and sat back in his seat. He smiled and said, "I don't know if you will come or not, so I left first. Where are the three of them?"

The person who talked to Qin Huai was Zhou Chuanghong, a northerner, who had just graduated from Haze that year, and he probably had good abilities. He hadn’t received his graduation certificate yet, and he had already entered the company as an intern in the last half of the semester, which resulted in one disaster after another. He was forced to stay here and couldn't go home. He didn't know how his family was doing, but he really couldn't go back, so he had to follow the government to rebuild first, and try to survive by himself first. He probably just walked out of the campus. He was more enthusiastic. He was the one who took the initiative to ask Qin Huai where he lived before and offered to go with him.

Hearing Qin Huai's question, Zhou Chuanghong shrugged: "If you can't buy clothes, you can't come here." He looked at the clothes Qin Huai put aside, and couldn't help being a little envious: "This is also bought by the supply and marketing cooperative? How many points does this get?" ah?"

Now many people call the redemption point a supply and marketing cooperative, a word that has been used in people's daily life in the 1980s and 1990s, but as people's lives get better and better, this word has gradually withdrawn from people's lives. The model is a bit similar to the previous supply and marketing cooperatives, so it was called out again.

Qin Huai said: "No, I found it when I was digging through the ruins before." It seems that there is no such arctic winter clothing for sale at the trade-in point. People will know.

The envy in Zhou Chuanghong's eyes was even worse. You must know that he also found a lot of thick clothes at the beginning, but it was too hot at the time, so he was busy looking for food and even furniture. No one thought that the temperature would cool down so quickly. It's all blue.

The other two people who came with Zhou Chuanghong, one is Shu Bin and the other is Zhang Qi. The two stood in front of the air conditioner for a while to warm up before they became so stiff. When Qin Huai said that the clothes were turned out, they couldn't help but said: " Is there a lot? I can use points to buy from you."

It’s hard to find winter supplies at the redemption point now. Even some obvious old things, no one dislikes them. Now it’s not easy to find something to wear on your body. Compared to freezing to death, wearing someone’s old clothes is easier. It's nothing. Some can not go out, and even wrap the curtains that used to block the sun at home. In the past two days, the heating in the house has been turned up. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have cold clothes to stay in the house, but it’s impossible for everyone to stay in the house. , Someone has to come out to earn rations. The three who walked with them before were unable to go out because they couldn't find clothes and shoes that could keep out the cold. Otherwise, who would give up such a good job opportunity.

Qin Huai sighed: "If I knew it would be today, I would have taken a little more of the things I dug out at the beginning. Now I don't know how much I can sell if I resell them. It's a pity that it was too hot and heavy at the time, so I thought about getting one or two sets of spare parts." Now, it came in handy, but it’s a pity that it’s only enough for me to wear.”

The others also sighed. Who knew that the temperature would drop suddenly? They also found some thermal underwear for winter. To carry more things, such as curtains, they threw away those clothes, so they believed Qin Huai's words, but they were still a little envious. Anyway, they still had a little foresight and knew to take one or two pieces home for preparation. Unlike them, they exchanged some of the points they had finally accumulated into clothes.

But they were lucky, as soon as the temperature cooled down, they realized something was wrong, and ran to the redemption point against the cold wind that hadn’t snowed yet, and immediately exchanged all the points in their hands for clothes, pants and shoes. Clothes that can go out can earn points. If you are trapped in the house, you really don't know what to do.

A few people talked for a while, and started working after their bodies warmed up and their fingers were not so stiff. Before, because of the large number of people, everyone was assigned different tasks. Now that there are three people missing, those unfinished things will naturally be To share it among them, even if the workload has increased, no one said anything. It is a good thing to have something to do, but I am afraid that there is nothing to do.

There is a heating resettlement house to be built outside, but because there are not enough manpower, so many points are given, and the working hours are also long. Qin Huai comes back every day, and his neighbors have not yet returned. After the weather gets colder and the sun is not so harsh, The working time has also been changed. Qin Huai has to leave the house at 8:00 every day. Jian Chu and the others go earlier because they are rushing to work and it is 7:00. After washing up, it was almost time to go to work. At that time, Mu Nan was still in the bed and did not wake up. After Wu Zheng and the others came back at about ninety o'clock in the evening, they would come to pick Niuniu home. When picking up the dog, they chatted occasionally, which was considered an exchange. information.

In these few days, Niuniu probably also knew that Mu Nan's house was only temporary, and she would return to her own home every night, so she did not feel unhappy at the beginning, and became a little more lively. At least after a few days of getting along, Mu Nan Niuniu will never refuse what it eats.

When the first snow began to fall, the blizzard almost never stopped, and it was too hot for people to resist. As long as it is not a stove, avoiding the sun can always endure. But this low temperature is more fatal, especially if it is not excessive at all. When people are still wearing summer clothes and can't find shelter from the cold, many people can't wake up in the hallucination of hypothermia.

The above even directly uses a car to transport the corpses. Most of the people living here are healthy people. After finally finding a clean place to rebuild, naturally the corpses can no longer be piled up. The corpse truck every day Constantly going back and forth, a carload of corpses was piled up and transported to the place specially designated for burning corpses, while other vehicles continued to rescue the surviving people in the urban area, send the sick to the school, and those who were not sick or had no symptoms yet First send them to the resettlement room, take their temperature every day, take away those with a fever, and gradually provide clothes for those left behind. Of course, they are not provided for free, and they will be recorded. The credits owed now will have to be paid back by labor in the future.

It is a very happy thing for many people that there is still a government taking the lead in disaster avoidance. At least the environment is not so bad that no one cares about life and death. Food, drink and housing are provided free of charge every day, and it is enough to provide for people like our ancestors. Faced with such a person who is still unclear at this time, the higher-ups will directly throw the person out of the heating and resettlement site, and they deserve to be frozen to death.

It’s not that their blood was drained by natural disasters, but that people are racing against time to save time. I wish everyone would move and build resettlement sites to rescue more people. There is no time to make trouble with you. , At the same time, this behavior of killing chickens and monkeys is also telling everyone that today is different from the past, and it is impossible to hold on to the thoughts of serving the people in the past. In the face of natural disasters, if you don’t work hard to survive, who else can you count on? And you.

According to Qin Huai's words, now the top directly adopts a semi-military management policy, you can choose the way you want to live, that is your freedom, but if you want to rely on the government, you can only listen to the arrangements and never make trouble.

Mu Nan thinks this is quite good. For saving people and rebuilding, those soldiers are already too tired. No one has ever experienced such a kind of physical exhaustion and psychological pressure. As long as the people work hard to survive, they have to Try to keep others alive. At this time, there are still people who are disobedient or making trouble. Whoever has the energy to take care of them, it is better to be more straightforward. Either stay obedient or leave if disobedient.

But these have nothing to do with Mu Nan, no matter whether the environment is good or bad, he must be the obedient part.

When it was windy and snowy outside, the life between him and Qin Huai temporarily returned to calm.

Qin Huai learns and absorbs quickly. At the beginning, he relied on the software he developed to make a fortune from nothing. If there hadn’t been this disaster, his software would have continuously provided him with wealth in the next ten years. The initial investment is exchanged for funds to prepare sufficient materials. Therefore, no matter when those who are capable do not say that their lives are better than others, at least they will try their best to seize the opportunity when it comes.

While others are still doing the repair work explained above, Qinhuai has already produced a communication software that adapts to the current information equipment, and has directly developed many new modules based on the current environment, such as instant messaging, material exchange, and rescue. , Response to disasters and evacuation, and even opened the entertainment area, uploaded limited network resources, video games, etc. Although the number is not large, it can be gradually increased in the future. For convenience and simplicity, the app of each project is independent , just to facilitate later updates and operations.

But it is obvious that he cannot complete all of these by himself, so Qin Huai submitted the plan, and even came up with the basic framework model, which only needs to be slowly expanded and filled by others.

Company Commander Xia is in charge of their part, because communication is very important, to obtain information from the outside world, to transmit information, to maintain close contact with other provinces and the central government to upload and distribute, and now they can only rely on remote communication, so repairing communication is a top priority Therefore, the officers in charge of the information department are also very high-ranking. Company Commander Xia is even Shi Yuanfei's superior. Now, Qin Huai is directly confronting Company Commander Xia because of repairing and rebuilding the communication template.

Company Commander Xia looked at the plan submitted by Qin Huai, and asked directly: "How long will it take to complete the restoration and reconstruction you appealed to?"

Qin Huai: "One month, these things are not difficult. A slight modification of the existing software model does not require original research and development. It does not take too long. The only thing that takes time is the establishment of the information station and the docking of the port."

Company Commander Xia nodded: "These engineering departments will speed up the maintenance, and you will be in charge of the civil communication part for the time being. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to bring it up."

Qin Huai nodded, and directly reassigned the work with the approved proposal. They can't touch military communications, and that's not what they should touch, so they can only find work in the field they are good at. At least set up a local area network in this area, not for other reasons. In order for him to be able to contact Mu Nan at any time, it is better than cutting off contact with Mu Nan all day outside, especially if he works overtime unexpectedly, but he has no way to tell Mu Nan, Mu Nan who is passively waiting at home will definitely Anxious and scared.

It is obvious that Qin Huai has been reused, and his ability is also obvious to all. Even if they can't touch the military communication, sometimes those information engineering soldiers will ask Qin Huai about some stuck problems, and Qin Huai can't solve those problems. Solve it directly, and can also give some feasible ideas based on experience. They never hide their secrets when dealing with Zhou Chuanghong. Even if they were promoted to be team leaders, they never saw him become difficult to get along with. In addition, he is handsome and humorous. It's funny, at least the words and deeds are magnanimous, which makes people instinctively like them, and there are not many people on their side, it's good to be able to survive after the catastrophe, how can they have the strength to engage in intrigue? Son, so everyone gets along very well.

There are more things to be responsible for, so I am naturally busy at work. Now it is no longer like before. I can’t walk outside during the day, but if I go back late, the road is still a bit unsafe. Not to mention robbery, even some wandering animals. With lethality, so no matter how much work there is, try to let everyone go home before dark, but the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, so the previously planned commuting bus has been put on hold. You can only let them ride their bicycles to and from work carefully.

Every day, no matter whether he was going or returning, Qin Huai's body could peel off a piece of ice. Mu Nan felt distressed, and wiped his hands and face with a hot towel. up.

Qin Huai knew what he wanted to say, so he tapped his nose twice with his cold fingers: "You can hang an oil pot on your mouth, what a grown man."

Mu Nan threw the towel on him, turned around and walked upstairs, Qin Huai followed behind him: "It will take about half a month to connect to the Internet, and when you are at home, I will be able to contact you at work."

Mu Nan said, "I won't contact you."

Qin Huai smiled: "It's pretty good now. How many people can eat according to their hobbies? Not only can I eat, but I can also support you. How wonderful. As for the weather, you posted so much for me. What a warm baby, although the outside looks like ice and snow, but the inside of the clothes is hot, not cold at all."

Mu Nan turned his head slightly to look at him: "Do you really like doing this? I already have experience in growing vegetables. When the time comes, I will make a few more pots on the second floor. There will already be quite a few upstairs and downstairs. The climate will be either cold or hot in the future." , even if we build an indoor field, food must be the most scarce, and we can grow vegetables to support ourselves, and we can grow vegetables at home without being exposed to heat or cold.” What’s more, they were so Isn't the painstaking preparation of those supplies just to live comfortably in the future?

Qin Huai rubbed his hair: "I really like it."

Mu Nan snorted: "I haven't seen you like this before, and you still keep talking about me when I play games."

Qin Huai: "Can it be the same? You were only young at that time, and the high school entrance examination is also very important. If you can't pass the high school entrance examination, you can only go to a technical secondary school. A technical secondary school is a small society. Do you think I can rest assured that you can go to a secondary school?" Special, don't stare at you carefully."

Mu Nan murmured: "You are always right."

Having said that, Mu Nan will not really forcefully ask Qin Huai not to go to work, although he knows that as long as he insists, Qin Huai will definitely agree, but everyone is different, although they do not have much pressure to survive , but Qin Huai may not be willing to stay at home like him. Maybe the sense of accomplishment in his career makes him happier, so Mu Nan can only prepare a lot of meals every day to make Qin Huai eat well and add more calories to resist. cold.

The smell of hot pot is too strong, even if it is windy and snowy outside, Mu Nan can't guarantee that the people next door can't smell it, so he can only change to other pots. It is very suitable to eat mutton pot in such a cold day. Boiling some of his favorite dishes in the mutton pot, Mu Nan also cut up some alpaca meat that he hadn't finished eating last time. In comparison, although they are all sheep, the taste of alpaca meat is indeed slightly better. .

"Sure enough, there is a reason why you are expensive. This alpaca meat is much tenderer than mutton."

Qin Huai: "Domestic is expensive because of transportation costs. Alpacas are daily meat in foreign countries, but I'm afraid they won't be able to eat them in the future. In such a cold day, many people freeze to death, and many animals freeze to death. No matter it's severe cold It's still hot, it's not suitable for reproduction, but I don't know if animals can adapt to the current environment, if they can't adapt, more species may become extinct."

Mu Nan warned: "Anyway, you have to be careful on the way to and from get off work, because the weather is too cold, and those animals that don't hibernate have no food to eat, and they are specially targeting humans."

Eat and drink enough, because the temperature in the house is high, probably because the government knows that some people have no winter supplies at all, so the floor heating is very warm. Mu Nan and his family have already turned off the air conditioner, but at present there are even It was so hot, so after eating and resting for a while, Mu Nan started to eat popsicles, Qin Huai was arranging his clothes, the clothes he wore in summer now had water, he washed a lot every day, and just hung them in the room for a while to dry.

Mu Nan lay on the sofa and sighed: "When I was in school, it was very cold in winter, and I still lived in the dormitory in high school. There was a student from the Northeast in our class who complained that the South was too cold, so I slept all night. He can’t even warm his bed at night, unlike his hometown where he eats ice cream and looks at the snow scene in winter.”

Qin Huai asked while folding the clothes: "Then are your high school classmates easy to get along with?"

Mu Nan shook his foot: "It's okay, there is no one who is not easy to get along with. There are many small groups of girls, but the boys are quite aggressive. They just play ball every day, copy homework, and complain about evening self-study. If you haven't woken up from playing, there is nothing difficult to get along with."

Qin Huai: "There is no such thing as campus bullying?"

Mu Nan took a bite of the popsicle: "It doesn't seem to be. I'm too busy doing my homework and copying my homework. I don't have time to bully others. It's because the courses are not difficult enough or the homework is not enough. Anyway, I haven't bullied others, and no one has bullied me. "

After Mu Nan finished speaking, he turned to look at Qin Huai: "What about you? Many people abroad look down on Asians and will bully yellow-skinned people."

Qin Huai smiled: "He took a detour and walked away after being beaten up. There are actually not many people with that sense of superiority. Most people get along very peacefully."

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly there was a lot of movement outside. The cold wind was howling non-stop, but suddenly the wind seemed to pick up again. Mu Nan opened the curtains and looked outside. Although it was pitch black, it was still I can see heavy snow falling outside, and I don't know how thick the snow will be when I get up tomorrow.
