Chapter 155 The Eve Of Parting
With the continuous high temperature, the water level dropped faster and faster, and the survivors of the dwelling gradually came out to activities in the morning and evening.
In order to keep the secret, Jiang Ning resolutely stopped and stopped going out for activities.
After going out early and returning late, my body was exhausted, and I didn't recover until I rested for a few days.
Blowing on the air-conditioning fan and eating frozen watermelon, Jiang Ning started to make plans for 1803, planning how to get them to Huicheng safely.
She took out a batch of vegetables from the space and asked Zhang Chao and Lu Yu to take them Go to the balcony to dry, "Just harvested, after you dry it, seal it, and take it out if you want to eat it."
Lu Yu was very moved, "Ah Ning, you gave us all the food, what will you and Brother Shen eat?"
"The seeds are shared in the first place. You don't know what's going on there, so I'll let you dry a batch first, so we can save some food."
I grew up together, so I don't have to say too many words of thanks.
Zhang Chao and Lu Yu took the green vegetables to the roof to dry, the concrete floor was scalding, and the fresh green vegetables wilted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than half a day, the leaves will crisp when touched.
Put it in the bag, it's like crumbs.
Not only did Lu Yu and the others not dislike him, but they were very precious.
Others eat cockroaches and mice, and they can still eat vegetables. This is already a great fortune, and if you dislike it, you will be punished by God.
However, I was also worried.
Lu Yu was melancholy, "Chao, you said we can live without Aning?"
Zhang Chao thought deeply, "If we can live, we just need to work hard, can we still rely on Aning for the rest of our lives?"
Ah Ning is not their old mother, friends are already loyal enough to do this, they will have to rely on themselves in the future!
But both of them knew what this parting meant.
This life, or never see each other again.
Just thinking about it makes my heart heavy.
No matter in the past or in the past two years due to natural disasters, we have supported each other.
They are all orphans, and there are very few close friends, let alone family affection. After more than ten years of getting along, they have already regarded each other as relatives invisibly.
Unfortunately, everyone's choice is different.
In order to go to Huicheng, 1803 has not been idle for the past few days. The most urgent task is to get a car and teach himself the knowledge of auto repair.
Otherwise, what if the road breaks down?
Knowing that Huo Yishen has a book, he quickly borrowed it to study, and when he met someone who didn't understand, he would ask questions on the walkie-talkie in time when he didn't go out.
Seeing more and more people go out to find supplies, Lu Yu couldn't help feeling anxious, "Brother Shen, do you think you can go out to find a car now?"
The water level has dropped to the second floor, and more and more survivors are looking for supplies underwater.
Huo Yishen showed him the way, "It's not the time to look for a car, but you can look for gasoline first."
As long as natural disasters do not stop, gasoline will only become more and more popular.
Even if they can't find a good car, if they have enough gasoline in their hands, they may be able to switch cars and come back.
1803 is interested in this and will come over to ask for advice immediately.
The gas station was emptied by the municipal government, but they didn't have the energy or time to dig out every car. At this time, most of the cars were still soaked in water, and they had to go to the high ground to find gas.
For example, highways and service stations, the water level should drop to almost the same level at this time.
Take out the large trucks first, and store the gasoline models that have a large quantity or can be clearly distinguished separately.
Jiang Ning secretly gave the oil pump to Huo Yishen so that Lu Yu and the others could move more easily instead of using the pipe to suck it with his mouth.
Huo Yishen handed it over to them, "I happen to have an oil extractor, I can lend it to you."
Not only did they borrow the oil extractor, but also the assault boat, so that they were so considerate as to teach them how to deal with the anti-stealing oil filter.
Take a sharp object and pierce the filter directly.
Therefore, it was changed to 1803, leaving early and returning late.
Jiang Ning did not forget to remind, "Make some herbal tea to cool off the heat."
Earlier, the two were detested by 1803, but they were even more stinky when they came back. They could smell the sour smell of sweat several meters away.
There is no way, the protective clothing is full of sweat, and the neck can be wiped with salt stains.
However, with Huo Yishen's reminder, they still had a good harvest. They brought back more than 200 liters of gasoline on the first day.
Unfortunately, it is really hard to tell the gasoline model, and there are not enough containers, so they can only be mixed together.
In any case, it is an indisputable fact that gasoline is precious, so let’s collect it first.
So, I went out early and returned late every day, and I had a good harvest for a few days.
The 18th floor is a weather vane, and people in the community will soon notice them.
Although there is no communication, others are not stupid, and they don't understand when they see the barrel.
Follow up right away, eat meat on the 18th floor, can they drink soup at the head office?
The underwater materials have been soaked for almost two years, and there are very few materials that can be used. Of course, they can be picked up and traded, and they are the most rare.
More and more people came to realize it, but Zhang Chao, Lu Yu and the others brought back less and less.
But it's not a lot, and more than 1 ton of gasoline has been stockpiled.
At the same time, the municipal government released new news to recycle gasoline in the hands of citizens in order to resume urban production and construction as soon as possible.
5 liters of gasoline can be exchanged for 1 catty of grain, or 1 liter of gasoline can be exchanged for 3 liters of water.
The news directly detonated, and countless survivors collected gasoline regardless of the high temperature and heat.
As a result, another batch was folded.
Heat stroke, heat stroke, tetanus from being scratched by dirty things in the water.
But do survivors have a choice? They huddled at home, either starving to death or dying of thirst, or suffering from heat stroke.
Left and right are dead, it is better to fight.
The city calls on the radio all day long, telling the survivors to collect gasoline in a sane and civilized manner.
However...
While the municipal government collects gasoline, many private bases or speculators also collect gasoline, and the price is a little higher than the official price.
Jiang Ning pretended to go out, and then sent a message to 1803, "Some people are collecting oil, and some are changing oil. 3 liters of mixed gasoline can be exchanged for 1 liter of new oil. Do you want to change?"
In fact, it depends on the people who order the dishes outside, and it also depends on the quality. Only 3 liters can be exchanged for 1 liter if the quality is confirmed, and 5 liters can be exchanged for poor quality.
Of course, there are more unscrupulous dealers. They say it's new oil, but I don't know how many times they have been mixed up, but ordinary people can't smell it just by their nose.
"To change."
There is more than 1 ton of gasoline in 1803, even if only one-third of the new oil can be exchanged, it can be exchanged for six to seven hundred liters.
Lu Yu was very excited and asked Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen to help change the oil.
They are convinced of this, after all, the goods that Jiang Ning returns every time are cost-effective and affordable.
Let them find their own way, not only at a disadvantage but also easily deceived.
Therefore, Jiang Ning took the mixed oil collected in 1803 into the space and replaced it with brand new gasoline for them.
At the same time, she took the time to not only give 2 batches of vegetables, but also helped dry and pack them.
The water fell to the waist, and some of the high terrain had already exposed the concrete floor.
Many survivors teamed up and pushed the car soaked in the water to a high place, not only collecting gasoline, but also prying open the door to search for things.
The same is true for Zheng Weili and others, who even almost got into a fight with others for some gasoline...
