[Environmental Pollution-04]
I don't have enough money to spend, what should I do
The students in the 183 research group have never worried about life during their college days. Their parents will give them living expenses on time every month.
But now, if you follow Brother Liu's suggestion and leave some funds for emergency medicine, each person's money is only enough to buy 5 packs of biscuits. Divide it into 14 days and eat one packet every three days, then they are estimated to starve to death here.
Everyone looked at each other for a while.
Lin Manluo suggested: "If it really doesn't work, can we eat the leaves when I summon the big tree to purify the air? My vines should also be edible. There is no green in this world, so I can get some green plants for everyone to eat."
Everyone: "… "
So in the following days, they will be sucking soil and eating leaves? It was so miserable.
Lan Yarong rested her forehead helplessly: "Manluo, those green vines of yours can tie people up and hang them. You can't pull them with your hands, and your knives can't stop cutting them. It's like steel, can our teeth move?"
Lin Manluo looked back at Xin Yan with a guilty conscience: "Isn't there Xin Yan? Steam it before eating."
Xin Yan was expressionless: "Can you bite after it's cooked?"
As a foodie, Ke Shaobin immediately and sincerely suggested: "I think, we should not eat Sister Lin's leaves and vines until we are about to starve to death? The taste and taste will leave our heart stumbling.
Jiang Pingce was not interested in eating leaves or rattan, so he looked at Xingwen: "Why don't you find a way to make some money."
Since the money in hand is not enough to spend, either steal, rob, or make money.
These people are all from the domestic column # From childhood to adulthood, they are good students with excellent grades, and they have never done such things as theft or robbery. Although now that he has learned supernatural powers, it is easy to steal and rob by supernatural powers, but his heart is still slow.
Yue Xingwen wasn't sure if the library would give them a low grade if they had to steal things to complete the exam.
When the Academy of Biological Sciences went to the supermarket to find food, it was because the city had collapsed, there were no living people, and the supermarket was looted. But the city’s social order still exists, with surveillance cameras in supermarkets and cashiers at the door…
Stealing is the last resort after all.
Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen said: "Buy today's food first, find a place as our base, and discuss how to make money in such a seriously polluted world."
Standing in the supermarket, we can't discuss the results, and people who come and go always look at them with strange eyes.
Everyone nodded in agreement: "Buy less supplies first and find a place to settle down."
Jiang Pingce collected everyone's points, exchanged half of them, and took 390 yuan to buy 12 masks and two boxes of compressed biscuits. Strangely, there is no mineral water in the supermarket.
Everyone settled the bill at the cashier and walked out of Huaxiang Building.
The biscuits were not heavy, Zhuo Feng and Liu Zhaoqing each carried a box, and masks were distributed to everyone to wear.
With masks to filter sand and dust, although the filtered air is still not as fresh as they breathe in reality, it still has a strange smell, but compared to just eating a mouthful of sand, the situation is better now. too much.
Jiang Pingce said, "Find a place to live first."
Yue Xingwen frowned and thought for a while: "There are so many of us, it will be difficult to find the existing buildings. The reason that the Huaxiang Building just now can be entered is because there is a supermarket on the negative floor of this building, which can be freely entered and exited. Others It should not be so easy to mix in the office buildings and communities.”
Zhang Xiaonian suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Do you mind living underground?"
Yue Xingwen looked back at him: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Xiaonian said seriously: "Didn't I learn the digging skills of the School of Architecture before? It is possible to build underground fortresses, and the materials used are shock-proof walls, which are similar to air-raid shelters. Even if the city is bombed, we can still survive. Go down. It's just that the basement may be damp and cold, and I'm afraid everyone won't be used to it."
Qin Miao took the lead and said: "I don't care. We are here to survive, not a tour group. It is enough to be alive, and the requirements can't be too high."
Lan Yarong said with a smile, "Basement, I think it's a good idea. We hide underground. On the one hand, it is safer. On the other hand, we also have a fixed place to live, so we don't have to work hard to find a place every day like a guerrilla."
Qin Lu also agrees: "Having our own base camp is much more convenient than sneaking into the office building every night to sleep. In case the office building is under surveillance, we can't be invisible, so many people suddenly appear, and if we are caught by surveillance cameras, we will cause trouble."
Seeing that everyone had no opinion, Yue Xingwen said: "That's it, we find a wasteland, Xiaonian is responsible for the construction, build an underground base, and live underground for the next 14 days."
Everyone came to the door of Huaxiang Building.
There is a big screen next to the street with a map of the city on it.
The city is not big, surrounded by mountains, Jiang Pingce pointed to one of the mountains, and said, "Qingxia Mountain is the closest to here. Going to the foot of the mountain to build a base will make it easier for us to come back and replenish supplies at any time."
Yuexing Wendao: "Qingxia Mountain is 3 kilometers away from here. After dark, there are no pedestrians on the street. Qin Lu will open the plate and change positions. We can get there in more than ten seconds."
Zhang Xiaonian agreed and said, "Well, I also think it's better to build after dark, lest people in this world find us acting weird and arrest us as monsters."
Xu Yishen narrowed his eyes and glanced at the clock on the square, and said, "It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still a few hours before it gets dark. What do we do next? Do you want to look around for news?"
Yue Xingwen nodded: "Everyone, spread out and meet here before 6 pm."
Everyone went in pairs and went around to find the pedestrians on the road to inquire about the news.
Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen walked side by side. When they walked around the corner, they saw two girls coming out of the clothing store with shopping bags. Yue Xingwen stepped forward and asked politely, "Hello, where can I buy it? water?"
The girl looked up at them suspiciously. The two were tall and slender, although the wind and sand blew their heads and faces, it still did not affect their appearance. The tall girl smiled and asked curiously, "Why don't you wear a headscarf?"
Yue Xingwen said: "We are from other places, and we don't know the situation here."
The girl nodded clearly and said, "Purified water can be purchased at the Water Resources Management Bureau in the central square. Each household is limited to 10 liters a week. You can queue up with your ID card to collect it. If you are out of town, take your ID card. Go buy it, you can buy bottled water."
Yue Xingwen then asked, "Is there no running water at home?"
The girl said, "Of course not. The tap water has been seriously polluted, and it can only be drunk after going through the unified inspection of the Water Resources Administration."
Jiang Pingce frowned and asked, "10 liters a week is enough for food, right? Don't you usually take a bath?"
The girl looked at him in surprise: "What do you mean by taking a bath?"
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce: "..."
Another girl gently tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "These two people are weird, sister, let's go home quickly."
The tall girl smiled apologetically and turned away with her sister.
Jiang Pingce's face was stiff, and after a while, he whispered, "People in this world... don't take a bath?"
Yue Xingwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The pollution of water resources is serious, and it is difficult to ensure food and drink. How can there be water to bathe? Besides, in such weather, you can't tell if you don't take a bath, right?"
Jiang Pingce turned to look at the backs of the two girls. They were wearing protective clothing, their hair was tightly wrapped in a headscarf, and their faces were large masks, with only one pair of eyes exposed.
Everyone dresses up like this, and it really saves the effort of washing your face, makeup, and bathing.
In reality, Jiang Pingce is a person who takes a bath every day. It is hard for him to imagine that people in this world have never taken a bath. What kind of experience is that? Doesn't it stink...
Forget it, it hurts to think about it.
Yue Xingwen noticed Ping Ce's ugly face, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, if you want to take a shower, I have a solution."
Jiang Pingce turned to look at him, and Yue Xingwen said, "I'll find out later, let's go."
The two returned to the square together, and the teammates quickly arrived.
Ke Shaobin focused on food-related information: "The daily food of residents in this city is mainly compressed biscuits and compressed bread. Occasionally, they use water to cook a pot of porridge and eat them with pickles. Fruits and fresh vegetables are rich talents. Affordable and rare items, it is very luxurious for ordinary people to buy a bunch of grapes or a few apples during the festival."
Liu Zhaoqing said: "In this city alone, tens of thousands of people die every year because of diarrhea. The incidence of lung cancer is 10%, gastrointestinal cancer is as high as 20%, healthy people are rare, the birth rate of babies is extremely low, and the urban population is keep shrinking."
Lin Manluo said solemnly: "Even with the support of science and technology, living in such harsh conditions for a long time has shortened the average lifespan of human beings to 40 years old. Young people are reluctant to have offspring, and species extinction is a matter of time."
Lan Yarong said: "I stopped a few pedestrians to chat just now, and found that everyone was in a low mood, living like walking dead, and they usually don't have any entertainment activities."
The topic became heavy, and everyone's faces were a little ugly.
We have never seen such a heavily polluted environment, and the current state of human beings in such an extreme environment.
Not to mention basic food and nutrition, even water, you have to queue up to get it with your ID card. A family has 10 liters a week, what is enough? I'm afraid it's only enough for daily drinking, and an occasional meal of rice porridge, right
Yue Xingwen took a deep breath and said, "Let's build our base first."
It was already dark and there were no street lights on the street, probably to save electricity. Jiang Pingce instructed Qin Lu to displace according to the position in his memory. Qin Lu took out the globe and transposed the continuous plates, and soon came to the foot of the mountain.
It is deserted and uninhabited, the environment is as bad as the city, and the whole mountain is bare and can not see a trace of green plants.
Xin Yan used alcohol lamps to illuminate, and Zhang Xiaonian summoned the excavator to start work.
At the beginning, due to the large number of displacement skills in the team, Sister Manluo's vines could also be used to build bridges. Therefore, Zhang Xiaonian did not learn the skills of "bridge construction", but learned "underground construction", which came in handy today.
The "underground fortress" skills of the School of Architecture are very powerful. In less than 10 minutes, Zhang Xiaonian dug a huge pit of about 200 square meters. The plot produced 6 double bedrooms, a living and dining room, and two bathrooms.
Everyone came to the basement. There were no windows, and there was no light underground. Xin Yan left a lot of alcohol lamps in the room as lighting equipment. Everyone walked around the underground base and admired the masterpiece of the younger brother.
Zhuo Feng smiled and said, "It's okay for a young year, this underground dormitory is quite spacious!"
Zhang Xiaonian was very happy to be praised and said, "Anyway, I don't need money for the land, so I made it a little bigger."
Liu Zhaoqing said: "The underground is damp and cold, so let's help, let's make some quilts ourselves."
The four girls looked back at him: "Don't you want to use gauze as a quilt?"
Liu Zhaoqing laughed and said: "I have infinite gauze and surgical sutures, so of course I can make a bed and a quilt! This is the first time you cover a quilt made of gauze? It not only keeps you warm, but also has beauty benefits. Get rid of all the acne and scars on your body."
Girls: "..."
We all want to have such a "beauty quilt"!
Yue Xingwen followed: "My rainstorm skill, after upgrading, can summon a large rainstorm of 30 meters by 30 meters, and the cooling time is 1 hour. Later, I will directly summon the rainstorm at the position of the two bathrooms. , you can make do with one room for boys and one for girls, use it as a public bathhouse, and take a shower with rainwater."
Yue Xingwen continued: "The rain is too cold, but my rain can be mixed with other professional skills. Xin Yan integrates the alcohol lamp into the clouds, heating and raining, so we can take a hot bath."
When he said this, he looked towards Jiang Pingce. Jiang Pingce raised his lips slightly and gave Yue Xingwen a thumbs up.
Everyone: "???"
The base is built underground, the gauze is used as a quilt, and the rainwater is used for bathing.
Just know that the style of their 183 research group has never been normal!
