Lu Ming looked at Wang Juan's stubborn back, shook his head helplessly, and closed the door.
Back in the room, he took off his down jacket, and Liu Qiaoer pushed the pork trotter rice in front of him.
"Eat your meal, don't worry about trivial things, it's not worth it."
Lu Ming sighed softly, glanced around the room, and looked at Liu Qiaoer with an unclear expression.
"Do you know something? I see you've changed the structure of the entire house, and you've prepared a lot of things. It doesn't look like you're visiting relatives, but rather planning to live here permanently."
Liu Qiaoer was drinking soup. She put down the bowl and looked at Lu Ming indifferently. Finally, she found something wrong. She thought he was very smart, but unexpectedly, he was far worse than in ancient times.
"You are a soldier. Didn't your leader tell you anything?"
Lu Ming raised his eyebrows: "The leader said that we should fight a tough and long battle. Although we don't understand what it means, we also know that something irreversible has happened on the planet we live on."
Liu Qiaoer nodded: "To tell you the truth, I am actually a soldier in a scientific research institution. Before this, our leader had already discovered some differences, but our leader reported the situation to the upper level leaders. As you know, they are always slow to make decisions."
Lu Ming nodded: "So, what will happen next? What caused all this?"
Liu Qiaoer sighed and said, "Our planet has come into contact with other planets, and the situation on those other planets is even worse. They know that we are rich in resources and intend to seize our resources. They have destroyed our atmosphere..."
"There will be a three to five year freezing period. We will be invaded by cold, viruses, and aliens. Of course, our leaders will fight back and start building underground cities. In the future, we may all move to underground cities and use artificial suns."
Lu Ming was shocked and seemed a little unbelievable: "Is it already... already so serious?"
Liu Qiaoer: "If you don't believe me, when you get better, you can ask around at your workplace. In short, many people will die in this disaster. When you return, you'd better be mentally prepared. It may take a long, long time to save people this time."
Lu Ming's unit is the armed police. The armed police is responsible for protecting the safety of the people and does not need to fight. There are other branches of the military responsible for fighting.
So, Lu Ming actually doesn’t know much about this kind of thing.
After hearing what Liu Qiaoer said, Lu Ming also became worried.
"My parents and brothers are also in the countryside. I don't know if they have stockpiled supplies. It's been almost three months. I have to contact them."
When people are in the most dangerous and difficult times, they think about their families.
Fortunately, Lu Ming's family is also from the countryside, and their situation is the same as that of the rural people on Liu Qiaoer's side.
They had just harvested wheat and hadn't ground it into flour yet, but they had a stone mill at home and the yard was not turned into lime, so they planted a lot of vegetables.
There are two trees in the yard, a date tree and a pomegranate tree, and there is also a grape trellis in the yard.
There are tomatoes, cucumbers and beans against the wall of the yard.
Lu Ming's parents are both farmers. Farmers are particularly good at taking care of their land. Any empty space they find is planted with vegetables.
During the three months of rain, their family would harvest the vegetables, but they didn't raise any livestock because the village didn't allow them to, and they had no place to raise any.
The old couple had enough food and clothing for the time being, but they lacked meat. After Lu Ming contacted his parents, he asked them to exchange vegetables for some meat.
The only shortcoming of rural people is that they are too kind. Because their two children are living in other places and one daughter is married, they have no burden. At the beginning, the vegetables grown at home were given to neighbors unconditionally.
Since Lu Ming knew that this disaster was likely to be long-lasting, he told his family about the situation and asked his parents to stop giving away the food at home and not to save money at home. Instead, he bought some meat jerky and put it in the refrigerator and raised two chickens to lay eggs.
Ask them to prepare more firewood and cotton clothes as the weather may get colder in the future.
Lu Ming was worried about his parents, so he made a video call to them.
Then I called my younger brother who works in the city. My younger brother bought a house in the city and lived on the 28th floor. The elevator was broken, so it was not easy to go back and forth.
When the rain first started, they stockpiled goods at home. Now things are better, with the community distributing supplies, so there are no major difficulties for the time being.
Lu Ming called his sister again. His sister married in a coastal city and he had not been able to contact her since then.
After asking around, Lu Ming was still feeling uneasy.
Then Liu Qiaoer asked, "Have you made sufficient preparations?"
Liu Qiaoer raised her eyelids and glanced at him: "I won't starve to death for the time being."
She was well prepared, but there was no need for everyone to know, otherwise she would be morally blackmailed and would easily be targeted by others.
As the saying goes, we don't worry about thieves stealing, we worry about thieves thinking about stealing.
Liu Qiaoer was really being thought of.
The weather was getting colder and colder, the rain turned into snow, and the ground outside was frozen.
The village chief made a special trip to Liu Qiaoer's house that day. When he walked into the yard from outside, he didn't feel too cold. When he walked into the house from the yard, it was quite warm.
The village chief looked at Liu Qiaoer's spotless house and was embarrassed to go in.
Right at the door, he spoke to Liu Qiaoer in a nice voice.
"His aunt, you live alone in such a big house, it's lonely. Our village has received a woman who just gave birth and is still in confinement. The weather has suddenly turned cold, and we are worried that she will develop some kind of root cause of illness. See if you can let her live with you."
Liu Qiaoer was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Isn't she from our village?"
The village chief rubbed his hands and nodded: "No."
"What about her family?" Liu Qiaoer asked again.
"Alas, she was brought here directly from the hospital. You know, the hospital in our city was also flooded, and many patients were transferred away. The seriously ill ones... No, we gave up. The less seriously ill ones were all settled nearby."
"Her family members are nowhere to be found. I heard that her husband is an only child and has no mother-in-law, only a father-in-law, who is also nowhere to be found. Her family lives in another place."
The more the village chief spoke, the more he felt sorry for the woman and child.
But Liu Qiaoer was born more than 40 years after the end of the world, and she has seen a lot of pitiful people, such as a newborn baby who was being carried away when running away, and a family member who accidentally fell and dropped the baby, who was immediately eaten by zombies.
There are family members who became zombies in order to save others.
The more you see it, the harder your heart becomes.
This is an era of the survival of the fittest, and it has only just begun.
"This is not a charity. What benefit can they get from living here? Besides, there are only two people in the yard next door, and they have places to live. Why did they choose my place?"
The village chief finally told the truth: "You have a lot of food stored here. Your uncle's couple only have sweet potatoes left at home, but you still have vegetables at home. By the way, Wang Juan said she smelled meat in your house a few days ago."
