(MTL) Natural Disaster Apocalypse

51-52

As for whether Jian Chu and Yu Zibai are a couple, before they had a detailed and in-depth discussion, some soldiers walked into the tent with notepads, and the whispered conversations of some people in the tent stopped instantly, and some even Impatiently, he stood up directly, wanting to ask the soldier who just came in to ask about the situation.

But without waiting for others to approach, the soldier raised his hand to signal, and said with a small horn: "Everyone be quiet, and now make a registration. I don't need to say more about the situation outside now. You should be very clear about it. Our current situation The situation is very serious. All communications are currently disconnected. We don't know when we can get in touch with the outside world, and we don't know when we can wait for rescue. So what we can do now is to save ourselves. Regarding the distribution of supplies, people over 70 years old The elderly and children under the age of 12 can receive two meals a day, and the amount of meals can only maintain the minimum daily needs. If they want to get more food, they can only rely on labor in exchange for those under the age of 70 and over 12 Yes, no matter men or women, starting tonight, they will not be allocated food, and if they want to eat big pot meals in the temporary canteen, they have to follow the team to participate in rescue operations." The soldier glanced at the crowd and saw no

one I objected to this decision, so I continued: "Now there are not many materials and rescue personnel, so we can only adopt this forced rescue method. I hope everyone can understand. As for the rescue direction tonight, we will use the nearby The community is carried out by rescue units. You can participate in the rescue work in your own community. This is not mandatory, but each community has responsible soldiers. Remember to find the rescue person in charge of each community to register before you act. It's convenient to distribute and receive points for the cafeteria after a day's rescue operation. Now do a census and register the community you are in."

Some people don't care about how the food is distributed, just want to rush to the rescue, they wait here for a second, They are all consuming the lives of their families. As soon as the soldiers finished speaking, they rushed over to register, wishing they could start rescue operations immediately.

Jian Chu looked at Yu Zibai: "Shall we go to register too?" They are good at hands and feet, and they don't lack strength. Multiple people and multiple strengths can save an extra life. What's more, they don't follow the army to eat a big pot now, and they can rely on it. what to live on.

Xu Ming on the side said: "I won't go to register. Although I am a veterinarian, I have no problem with some basic trauma and wound suturing. I will go to the rescue. It's better to stay here and join the medical team to save people." Qin Huai said:

" We won't go to register anymore, tonight, anyway, rescuers can go to the soldiers in charge of the area to register at any time, don't worry about it." Naturally, Mu Nan listened to what Qin Huai said, so he remained silent on the

sidelines .

Yu Zibo said: "Then let's wait, go back today and discuss the details later." He is definitely going to participate in the rescue operation, but he has no plans to let Jian Chu participate, no matter whether it is physical strength or psychological endurance. He felt that Jianchu needed a process of acceptance, and he couldn't be in a hurry.

Jian Chu didn't object to Yu Zibai's words after thinking about it. Since she decided to not house today, there are a lot of things in the house that need to be sorted out, and she doesn't know what the house is like due to the violent shaking, and the power has been out for so long. The freezer has a heat preservation function. In view of the experience of the last power outage, they also deliberately froze a lot of ice cubes. I don't know if they can be lucky enough to preserve the food inside again. It's better to settle yourself down first, and then go to save people, but the temperature has delayed the whole day, and I don't know how many people can be rescued.

At about six o'clock, the army began to distribute supplies. It was said that the exchange of points started tonight. If you don't send some supplies to everyone to eat, you won't have the energy to dig the ruins at night. In order to avoid people Taking advantage of the loopholes to collect repeatedly, after all, there is no way to check the ID card records now, so several soldiers carried baskets of steamed buns and water, and distributed them in tents one after another. No matter men, women or children, the first meal is two big steamed buns and a bottle of water.

This steamed bun is big enough for a person with a normal appetite. Mu Nan ate half of it and became hungry and didn't want to eat it. Mineral water and water bottles are hot in your hands. Qin Huai didn't force him, it's good if he can eat a little bit, and he ate the half he didn't finish very easily.

On the other hand, Jian Chu couldn't keep it down after eating more than half of it. He just hadn't recovered yet, and he didn't have much appetite. Now he was eating all by willpower, so Yu Zibai also gave him what he didn't finish. have eaten.

Mu Nan looked at Jian Chu, then at the half steamed bun in Yu Zibai's hand that Jian Chu hadn't finished eating, his eyes were suddenly full of meaning.

Jian Chu blushed, and just wanted to say that you also ate the leftover Qin Huai, but before she could say anything, she thought that Qin Huai is his elder brother, and it is normal for an elder brother to eat what is left by his younger brother, so what does he have to do with Yu Zibai. Thinking of what Xu Ming said just now, Yu Zibai didn't admit it, but he didn't refute it. Suddenly, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He couldn't let it go, and he couldn't hang it up. thing, but I just can't control it.

Fearing that Mu Nan would say something embarrassing, Jian Chu simply turned his head away from Mu Nan's eyes. Seeing his movements, Mu Nan couldn't help raising his eyebrows and smiling. Qin Huai pinched his face and made him turn to look at himself. Always staring at what others are looking at.

Not long after everyone finished eating, someone came to inform that those who were going to participate in the rescue must gather outside. It was about 7:30, and the sky outside was very bright, and the sun was still hot, but after all, it was about to set, so the heat was not enough. It was so intense at noon, and so many people needed to be assigned, so they went out in advance and made preparations. When they could withstand the heat outside, they went directly to their respective rescue sites. Lives are now racing against time.

All of a sudden their tent was almost empty, except for a few of them, there were three or five people sitting in their seats, their expressions were dull, and they didn't know if they hadn't recovered, or they were lonely and no one was waiting for them to rescue them. .

Xu Ming handed her things to Yu Zibai, and only took a bottle of water: "If you go back, take it back for me. I'll ask the medical team about the situation. Maybe I'll be on duty right away. If I don't come back, I went upstairs before dawn, but I don't necessarily know how to go upstairs. If the accommodation conditions at the medical team are good, I can't climb the stairs if I can." As for the seventeenth floor, I'm afraid it's half my life to climb up

. It's all gone.

Yu Zibai nodded, and Xu Ming went out with the water. Mu Nan glanced at the empty tent. This was the temporary settlement for the first day, so everyone had nothing to bring with them. Apart from the steamed buns and water that were handed out just now, they didn't even have a piece of cloth, so they left very simply. , after all, there is nothing that can be taken by others.

On their side, they have backpacks and cloth pockets, and there are a bunch of self-healing pots in the cloth pockets, which can be regarded as rich wealth. I'm afraid it will only be like this for a day or two. Most people still focus on rescue. After two more days, when people dig up a pile of valuables from the ruins in addition to the corpses, rescue will no longer be the first priority. one.

When the sky got darker and there was no direct sunlight, the four of them left the tent with their things. There were many people coming and going in and out of the tent. Even because the surrounding area had already started rescue work, after such a short time, there were Many people carried the self-made stretchers made by the soldiers during the day and hurriedly transported the people who had just been dug out of the ruins. Of course, those who could be sent were still alive, otherwise they would be placed directly in the temporary morgue. .

Because it is still daytime, after a whole day of precipitation, the dust and smoke caused by the house collapse yesterday have dissipated, and with a broad view, there are not many large high-rise buildings left in the past. Standing in the center of the city, they have never I feel that the surrounding environment is so wide, and the wideness makes people feel a suffocating desolation.

The unrecognizable city, the accumulation of ruins everywhere, the visual impact is too great, so big that just standing here and looking at it makes people feel dizzy.

Qin Huai stretched out his hand to hold Mu Nan, holding it tightly, as if he was giving Mu Nan strength, but also seemed to be gaining strength from Mu Nan.

Mu Nan also squeezed back slightly. He had survived all these things by himself. Although the process was very hard, now that Qin Huai is here, he can only adapt faster. In terms of mentality, he is theirs instead. The most stable of the four, after all, he had saved many people in such piles of ruins, dragged out many corpses, and accumulated a lot of supplies.

A few people searched along the road along the sign that they walked over yesterday. Along the way, they saw many people moving stones with bare hands. They asked from time to time if there was anyone below, but basically they got no response. Relying on moving the rocks to check by yourself, there is no time-saving and labor-saving instrument such as a life detector, which makes the already difficult rescue work even more difficult.

Qin Huai didn't let Mu Nan look at him, and dragged him towards the community. The community was also busy, busy with saving people, busy with wiring lighting, it was getting dark soon, if the lights were not turned on, The ruins were already a mess, and it was even more difficult to see if there was anyone inside. While others were busy, they took the opportunity to walk into the building.

The inside of the building is also full of mess. It is estimated that when the earthquake happened, some people tried to run away with some of their own property, but they didn't care about the things they held in their hands in the crowd, and now they were scattered all over the ground.

When Mu Nan was climbing the stairs behind Qin Huai, he suddenly asked: "Brother, do you think there will be people who didn't go out and just lay at home waiting to die?"

Qin Huai said: "It should be possible, those who are older may be. After a while ,

Mu Nan said again: "Brother, do you think so many people running down from the top at once will cause stampede death? Will we see dead bodies on the way back?" Qin Huai said: "It's also

possible , so be careful where you step, lean on the handrails, and don't look around."

Jian Chu who followed them couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Mu Nan!"

Mu Nan looked back at him: "What's wrong?"

Jian Chu: "Don't tell horror stories ." He found that Mu Nan seemed incapable of dealing with things, but in reality he seemed to be the most capable, at least from what he saw when he walked back along the road, his mentality was close to breaking point, unlike Mu Nan, you can still ask a hundred thousand questions here. And Qin Huai really deserved to be his brother, he was able to ask and answer.

However, if they were all silent and kept silent, the tense emotions might not be relieved. After being interrupted by Mu Nan's questioning, my heart was inexplicably relieved, but let's not talk about the dead body in the stairwell , Just imagining it makes people panic.

Mu Nan let out a cry, then stopped to take a breath: "I'm so tired." As

soon as he stopped, Qin Huai naturally stopped to wait for him, and he didn't forget to encourage him: "That's right, we've already climbed to the seventh floor. Rest for a while, and then climb the second seventh floor, and you will be home soon."

Counting, Mu Nan is the weakest among them, even since the smog started, he consciously runs at home every day, but Rome is not a day He was built, and his physical fitness can't be developed so quickly, but compared to before, he is much stronger now. At least in such a hot situation, he only has to pant when he climbs to the seventh floor, and he hasn't been dizzy and dazzled.

He glanced at the two people who stopped to rest together, and couldn't help but said, "Why are you all so physically strong?" He found that he was the one who was the most wheezing, and even today he couldn't stop vomiting and had gastroenteritis. Jian Chu who had the needle was not as panting as he was.

Jian Chu put his hands on his hips and said unsteadily, "I trained part-time. This guy trains in marathons every year."

Mu Nan passed Jian Chu and looked at Yu Zibai: "Marathon, it's amazing." He practiced a few times Running for a month, let alone a full marathon, may not be able to run a half marathon.

Jian Chu said: "Your brother's physical strength is also good, he is the one with the most stable breathing."

Mu Nan smiled and said: "My brother has been physically fit since he was a child, and his athletic cells are very good. Of course, he is also smart. The top three in age."

Jian Chu flattered her face: "It's amazing."

Qin Huai stretched out his hand to Mu Nan in a funny way: "Okay, don't brag about it commercially, just continue to go up after you have a rest, persevere, and you will feel comfortable when you get home "

Mu Nan sighed, but he didn't let Qin Huai pull him. He was already tired from climbing the stairs, so if he was pulling him, wouldn't it be even more tiring, not to mention that he hasn't reached the point where he needs to be pulled to climb.

On the way up to the seventeenth floor, they stopped and rested three times. In the end, they were so hot that their heads became dizzy, and they finally returned to the floor they were familiar with. Along the way, I saw a lot of sundries, some even fell on the ground in whole packages, and they didn't know what they were, but they followed the principle of not wasting, and picked them up as much as they could. As for the things inside, we'll look at them when we go back. Well, anyway, it's either for food or for use. If you throw it on the ground, it might get hot, so it's better to pick it up and use it if you can.

When they finally climbed to the seventeenth floor, Mu Nan's legs were already trembling. The situation on their floor was fine. At that time, they didn't know if Zhang's family was there. Except for the fire extinguisher that fell out of the fire box and fell on the ground, there was nothing on the whole floor. Miscellaneous.

After climbing up, they naturally went back to each house as soon as possible, at least ㄒ to check how the situation of their own house was. As soon as Mu Nan got home, he lay down on the ground. There was nothing in their house, and Mu Nan took everything in before leaving. Therefore, no matter how it shakes, as long as the house does not collapse, there is nothing in the house that can fall on the ground and be damaged.

But thinking that Jian Chu and the others might come over later, Mu Nan still struggled to get up, and took out the table again. There were not many things in the kitchen, but some disposable chopsticks and bowls, and then The refrigerator was also taken out.

Qin Huai said: "The solar generator is placed on the side of the second bedroom, and the side of the master bedroom has good lighting. When the time comes, a few more solar panels will be installed, and the wires will be pulled directly from the inside. You can take it out, and I will come later." Pretend."

Mu Nan did as Qin Huai said, and said while putting it aside: "We can live quietly together, if the balcony is opened, they can come over at any time, how inconvenient." Qin Huai said: "You are at home at

night I'm worried."

Mu Nan turned to look at him, and before he could speak, Qin Huai stopped his words: "Listen to me, the most important resource in our family in the eyes of outsiders is the solar generator, but it's just such a thing, it's not enough. To the extent that Yu Zibai and the others have bad intentions, the safe base will not be built so quickly, we will at least live here for a while, and now let this be clear, just so that we can live a little bit in the future It's better. Although the balcony was opened, our two families still closed the door separately. In fact, it didn't have a big impact. The intersection in the early stage will definitely be a little denser. Later, when the days pass by, we still live separately. "

Qin Huai looked at Mu Nan who was frowning and obviously wanted to object, and smiled: "I know you don't want to stay at home, you think you can do it yourself, you have to face those things outside, but Nan Nan, I hope everything If you can take it slowly, at least you taught me to let me adapt to the current situation, otherwise I have to face the changes outside and worry about whether you can bear it, just take it for me, ü complain Is Yuan at home okay?"

When Qin Huai said this, Mu Nan could only nod his head, he had indeed overlooked some things, he only thought that he had experienced all this now, so no one needed to worry, even if he felt uncomfortable at first, but He will soon be able to adjust. He is full of worries that Qin Huai will not be able to adapt. He only wants to be by Qin Huai's side and accompany him to adapt, but he ignores that Qin Huai will also worry about him, and while trying to adapt to the current environment, he has to share Concentrate on paying attention to his condition.

After being told by Qin Huai, Mu Nan naturally stopped insisting, and just said: "Okay, then you must be careful outside, those ruins are easy to step on, you must be careful, don't go to places that are too high, just in case It's too dangerous to step on the ground. I'll prepare a first aid kit for you. If you accidentally scratch something, you must clean it up in time. If the situation is too bad, don't force it. Let's come back and close the door to live our own lives. There's no need to adapt to the daily changes outside, bro, really don't let me follow you, I'll be worried if you're outside alone." Qin Huai hugged him and rubbed his stubble-covered head: "I

will Be careful, you will be very careful, I promise you."

Mu Nan gave a low hum, obviously upset, Qin Huai smiled and asked, "Are you hungry? I ate half a steamed bun before."

Mu Nan shook his head, and after putting in the solar generator, he took out a battery and an air-conditioning fan, and when he took out the door and cement that Qin Huai had prepared from the space, Mu Nan realized: "Brother, are you It's been planned long ago, otherwise why would you have prepared these in advance?" Maybe the dimensions were all measured in advance, so he said what's the point of preparing an extra balcony door, since their house doesn't even have a balcony.

Qin Huai smiled: "It's just a rainy day. It's better to prepare everything that you can think of. It's better than not having anything when you need it."

Mu Nan felt that his brother's brain was still as useful as ever, so he prepared supplies He had already thought about it when he was young, and he probably could only think of preparing as much food and drink as possible, so there is no such thing as a plan.

Qin Huai said: "Drink some mung bean soup to relieve the heat, before they come over."

Mu Nan just didn't have any appetite because of the heat, but he could still drink the cold mung bean soup, so he took it from the space. After eating two bowls of mung bean soup with crushed ice cubes, after a mouthful of sweetness and ice, I felt that the blood bar had risen by two bars again: "I feel like I'm alive again." Qin Huai said with a smile: "Later, put the solar panels

on Get up, the air conditioner can be turned on during the day tomorrow, let's use the air conditioner fan tonight, if the knock on the wall is fast, maybe it can be done in the first half of the night, and we will still go down in the second half of the night, Yu Zibai probably won't let Jian Chu go down today , after we go down, you stay at home with Jian Chu, take some water and put it in the room, take a shower, and put some snacks outside, so as not to be hungry and inconvenient to get food from the space, if If you want to eat that self-healing hot pot, you don't want to eat spicy ones, but eat the tomato-flavored ones, you know?"

Mu Nan listened to his thoughts and nodded, "Yes, I'm so worried. I'll be at ease."

Qin Huai poked his forehead: "I'll be at ease when you are locked at home."

They haven't taken a bath since yesterday, and their bodies are already so dirty that no skin is exposed outside. They wish they could scrape off a layer of putty. Before Yu Zibai and the others came over, the two of them planned to take a bath. Mu Nan made the bathing things by himself. He poked a hole in the bottom of a plastic bucket and hung it on the shower head. Then he put the swimming pool at the door of the bathroom, and pulled a hose to suck the water from the pool into the bucket for showering.

Qin Huai asked Mu Nan to ㄈ ハハク Mu Nan directly took out a bath brush, Qin Huai looked at the bath tools he had prepared, and said, "Would you like to brush your back for you?"

Mu Nan lifted up his clothes and showed Qin Huai his back: " Is it dirty?" He did sweat a lot, but he was wearing clothes, and he didn't know how much dust stuck to his body when the earthquake collapsed on his back. If his back was as dirty as his arms and legs like an unearthed cultural relic, then I'm afraid I really need Qin Huai's help.

Mu Nan is very thin and fair, without the slightest bit of fat around her waist, and she is as firm as a teenager. Just lifting up her clothes makes her look dazzlingly white, and the movement of twisting her body and lifting her clothes makes her entire back more visible. When it came out, the butterfly bone on the shoulder also showed its shape through the clothes, like a butterfly fluttering its wings, sexy and fragile. Because of the sweltering heat in the room, even with the air-conditioning fan on, the heat from the body was not dissipated so quickly. Now that he was tossing the bath water, his body was covered with sweat, just when Mu Nan lifted up his clothes, A bead of sweat rolled down his back and landed on the hollow of his lower back.

Qin Huai's Adam's apple slipped uncontrollably. He swore that when he said those words, he really didn't have the slightest intention of being charming. At that time, he simply treated Mu Nan as if he was a child and needed his help to take a bath. But now, when When he touched Mu Nan's sweaty back under the light, Qin Huai felt that all his restraint and forbearance collapsed like this earthquake.

Didn't hear Qin Huai's response, Mu Nan turned to look at him: "What's the matter? Is it dirty?" It's not dirty

, in fact, it's not dirty at all. After all, through the clothes, the dust that was contaminated has long been washed away by sweat But Qin Huai still heard himself say in a hoarse voice: "Dirty..."
