Natural Disaster Apocalypse

If it wasn't really impossible, Zhang Jianwen would not want to come back. This house was demolished and rebuilt. In the past, their old house had a relatively large area. set. This kind of building was considered very good in the era when low-rise residential buildings were common at that time, but then it developed too fast. After each of the large-scale and orderly communities was established, their community without even a property seemed Extremely messy.

At that time, Zhang Jianwen bought a bigger house in another place, but the house he bought was still under construction and had not been completed. In addition, after the house was handed over, it needed to be renovated, and it had to be vacant for a year or two to dissipate the smell. Just treat Jinglin Community as an excessive place. Later, after they moved out, they thought about selling the house, but looking at the house price at that time, they felt that if they changed hands in a few years, they might be able to double their profits, so they kept it here.

At first, this empty house was also rented out. The previous tenant quit the rent the year before last. At that time, my grandson just graduated from junior high school. In order to choose a school, the family was busy inside and outside, so there was no time to toss about renting a house. The monthly rent for an old house with two bedrooms and one living room is less than 3,000, which is not worth the trouble. Naturally, the grandson who is in high school is important. As soon as it was vacant, it has been vacant until now.

They moved here because there was a fire in the place where they lived before. The cause of the fire was that someone stole electricity in the electric well box. The electric well box in their community runs through the entire building. There is a door for the electric well box on each floor. There is no lock, just to facilitate the usual security checks, but it turns out that it is convenient for others to steal electricity.

They don't know when the family started stealing electricity, whether it has always been there, or now that the electricity consumption is so high that the family's finances can't afford it, so they have a wrong idea, anyway, the wires are connected privately It happened, so the fire accidentally went off, and the electric well box of the whole building was burned all at once. Fortunately, the electric well box inside the building is a weak electric box. Although it caught fire, because it was night and everyone was in a waking stage with the day and night reversed, they would be alert if there was a little movement outside, so after the fire broke out, the fire was still burning. Before it spread, many people ran out of the building.

Originally, the fire was not too big, but there were too many flammable shelters on each floor and every household. Instead, it burned because of this. Fortunately, the casualties were not large, and only the gates of two houses were burnt red. They couldn't open it, and they were locked up at home and inhaled excessive smoke without being rescued. Most of them escaped danger.

But the fire was extinguished, and the house was basically destroyed. It was completely black and flooded. Staying in a hotel is not a long-term solution. Zhang Jianwen thought it would not be a matter of time to recover, so the five members of the Zhang family packed up some usable things, hired a car at a high price, and returned to their place. At least there is a place to stay in the vacant house next to it.

The return of the Zhang family has no effect on Mu Nan and the others, at most it is because their floor is full and the Zhang family has a large population, so it is more lively than before. Now they seldom go out. Qin Huai only had less than 100,000 yuan left in his hand for sporadic expenses before, because now every family's life has become difficult. After all, during the period when the epidemic was closed, they could not make ends meet. Now, with the high temperature, the price of goods has skyrocketed, and the cost is even greater. When other people's funds are tight and their lives are tight, they are still spending a lot of money. I seldom take him out anymore, and I seldom follow the trend of group buying, and start to live a low-key life behind closed doors.

With the continuous high temperature, the crisis of water source and food has begun to show signs. The two biggest problems caused by high temperature are the drop of water level and the rapid spoilage of food, which makes the already high prices increase to the level of ordinary people. completely unaffordable. But even so, if you want to buy a piece of frozen meat, you can't find a meat source if you have money.

Some unscrupulous merchants re-freeze and package some spoiled meat. After people buy it home and thaw it, they can’t eat it at all. Paying a high price and buying back a bunch of inaccessible things, this makes people who are already hot and fearful about the future, unable to bear the pressure of life in an instant, and collapse.

Food is the first crisis that erupted in the lingering heat of the people. No matter what the previous closure, there is food and drink. Although it is a bit more expensive, it is still within a range that people can still bear. Now a catty of frozen pork is priced at four to five hundred, and it is so expensive that it is still bad when you buy it home. How can it be tolerated.

What's more serious is that when many pigs, cattle, sheep, and chickens and ducks in farms died due to high temperatures, and even the plague spread rapidly among poultry, resulting in almost no meat sources in some markets. Vegetables and rice are also dying of drought in a large area. Some people randomly pick up a handful of rice ears in the rice field, and 80% of them are empty shells.

The heat is not terrible, hiding in the house, as long as the electricity is not turned on, you can always rely on your own adaptability to survive. But the food crisis is terrible. Many people are afraid that they will not be able to buy things if they have money in the future, and their crazy hoarding behavior becomes even crazier. Nearly 100 people were killed or injured in the clashes that broke out because they were dissatisfied with the supermarket's restriction of people queuing in. Dissatisfied with the lack of stock on the supermarket shelves, he smashed wildly.

It is said that the domestic security is orderly, except that some areas are more strictly controlled, and more importantly, no matter how chaotic the country is, the masses have never panicked about food. When people start to panic because of food, even with the government's vigorous suppression, it is not easy to calm down. After all, there is no food, and predictable death is more terrible than any high temperature or any virus. Another major problem derived from the food crisis is burglary, robbing all valuables, and all edible food. Many people began to feel insecure and wanted to accumulate more sense of security.

After discussions and residents' votes, Mu Nan's community decided to install an access control door in the lobby on the first floor, because they don't have a property here, and the community has always acted as a property. The community is also used to management, so after several burglary incidents occurred in other districts, I asked the residents for their opinions on whether to install anti-theft access control on the first floor. There is no need to install that kind of home-entry video, and each family will apply for an access control card according to the head, and use the access control when entering and exiting, so that even if someone wants to enter the building at night to do something bad, there is no way to enter without access control, which is more or less a layer of security.

It's just because they don't have property, so people in the community can be responsible for the installation, but the installation cost needs to be shared equally by the residents.

The price of access control itself is not too expensive, but because there are more burglaries now, the price has risen sharply, and since it is installed, it must be of better quality, but it is distributed to each household, and each household only needs Three hundred is enough.

Their building has a total of twenty-six floors, and there are five households on the left and right sides of the first floor, but not every household has people. Many people died of poisonous mycelium before, and some people think that the houses here are old and unoccupied. , and then a few more went away due to the heat, and now there are only 209 actual residents in the entire building.

Three hundred yuan, as long as it is not particularly difficult, you can get it now. This amount is not enough to buy a catty of pork. If there is really a difficulty, the community will help you according to the situation. After asking the price, people in the group responded one after another. In order to install the anti-theft access control as soon as possible, after most people passed, people from the community came to collect the money the next day.

The people who came to Mu Nan's building to collect money were Director Li and a small employee in the community. Director Li was supposed to be seriously injured by a father who lost his child's crazy revenge, but because of Mu Nan's reminder, he was lucky enough to escape the pain. The one who robbed. He always remembered Mu Nan's reminder back then. If it wasn't for that reminder that made him feel alert, it would be hard to say whether he is still here now. The whole family in his house depends on him for food, and the child is even in school. Now In this situation, if he had any accidents at that time, he couldn't imagine what would happen to his family, so the more difficult the life is now, the deeper Director Li's gratitude to Mu Nan will be.

This time, apart from coming to collect the fee for installing the anti-theft access control, I just wanted to ask Mu Nan if there is anything their family needs to help with. How much savings, under the consumption of repeated natural disasters, life may be difficult. Even if his elder brother came back, his elder brother is not very old, and he probably hasn't been working for a few years. Such young two children may have had a hard time now. In his mind, those two children had already been imagined by him as poor children who satiated their hunger with water, ate instant noodles, and tightened their belts and only ate one meal a day.

He hadn't found an opportunity before, but now that he had an opportunity, he came to inquire.

Hearing Director Li's intentions, Mu Nan was a little surprised: "You mean to work in a supermarket?"

Director Li nodded: "Don't look at supermarkets as dangerous now, but Chinese people still have a strong sense of law and social order, and in order to protect the normal operation of some large supermarkets, every large supermarket has a certain amount of police protection. The Yunshang Supermarket in our community is also close to home. It takes ten minutes to walk to and from work, and three minutes to ride a bicycle to get home. The salary may not be very high, but two meals are provided for the staff.”

Mu Nan didn't expect that Director Li would be so thankful for the last reminder. Although it seems dangerous to work in a supermarket now, it is definitely a fat job. It can't be said that supplies are not worrying, at least it is better than others working hard. Competing for purchases is always a place where there is some convenience. More importantly, under the general environment, many industries have collapsed, and the food crisis will cause violent riots. Another reason is that countless people have been laid off, lost their jobs, and lost their source of income. , Sky-high prices for materials, and various reasons combined, how can people not panic, so at this time, a job, not to mention salary, is simply a package of meals, and I am afraid that countless people will fight for it.

Facing such a precious opportunity right now, Mu Nan declined Director Li's kindness: "I work on the Internet, so the current environment doesn't have too much impact on my work, and I can still afford to live in terms of income, so Might not be able to go to the supermarket to work."

Director Li only thinks that Mu Nan is really still a child, and now there is no guarantee for any internet job, saying that he can lose it at any time, so how can he go to the supermarket to work stably? There is still such a relationship with him here. With the supermarket, he can continue to work, which is no more secure than things on the Internet.

Seeing that Mu Nan really didn't want to go, Director Li said again: "What about your brother, you can let your brother go." Although they are not biological brothers, they live together now, eat and drink together, if his brother can have a Stable things are also a guarantee for Mu Nan.

Where he doesn't go, of course he can't let his brother go. Mu Nan directly refused for Qin Huai: "My brother still has company affairs to deal with, and he is busier than me. Director Li, we appreciate your kindness." Yes, but right now, we really don’t have time, even if we want to change jobs, we have to finish the unfinished business first.” The two brothers are unwilling, and he can’t pretend to be good for them The banner is too weak, so I can only say: "When do you feel that you need this job, come to me again, and I will see if I can get you a chance."

Hearing what Director Li said, Mu Nan also heaved a sigh of relief, this is really a typical person who is most afraid of sudden concern from others.

Back inside, Mu Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, his brother paid the money outside, but suddenly he was called out. He didn't expect it to be a reward from Director Li.

Qin Huai in the room heard what they said outside clearly, and when he saw Mu Nan coming in, he asked, "Is there going to be a problem with the supermarket?"

If there is no problem, for now, the supermarket is indeed a good job. It can accept all kinds of information and contact materials at the closest distance. Although they don't need to buy anything, this job in the supermarket will obviously be A good shield. He believed that what he could think of Mu Nan should also be able to, but Mu Nan refused, so it is only possible that he saw something in his dream.

Mu Nan said: "Not at all, but I saw that the government started to distribute daily supplies. Supermarkets in various places are the distribution points, but the people who distribute them are all soldiers, and there are no ordinary people. That is to say, even if you enter now I have worked in a supermarket, and apart from being tiring and coping with possible dangers, this job does not last long and will be taken over by the government in the end, so why bother.”

The most important thing is that after the order collapsed, robbers and murderers were incomparably rampant for a period of time, probably because they felt that the end of the world was really over, and there were no so-called countries and laws anymore. It's not hard, so it's unscrupulous.

There are quite a few people who have such thoughts, and these people probably gather together with similar tastes. They are clearly targeted criminals, and the people they regard as their targets are people who have worked in supermarkets. I probably think that those people will use the convenience of their positions to hoard more things than ordinary residents. The real rich live in high-end places with good protection. Even if they have this thought, it will be more difficult to start. This kind of ordinary people who may take advantage of their positions to facilitate hoarding goods, anyway, they are robbing and killing people, and there are more rewards if they have a goal than if they don't.

Mu Nan didn't want him and Qin Huai to be exposed to this kind of potential danger at all, just relying on the access control downstairs and the iron gate in front of their house that seemed to be well guarded, it couldn't stop anything at all. If his space can enter people, then they can still have a little security. The problem is that his space is not as awesome as those novels where mountains and rivers can be used to plant and live in people. Therefore, in terms of security, they can only be carefully protected by themselves. Take care of yourself.

The job in the supermarket is dispensable to Qin Huai. Since Mu Nan felt that there was no need to go, he didn't need to think about it any more, so he continued to toss the crossbow in his hand. This thing is contraband, and he paid a lot of money, so Someone made two sets for him, one big and one small, and later he managed to get some assembly parts, but the assembly was made of wood and iron sheets, which was not very durable. He would like to do it by himself in the future, but unfortunately he doesn't have the tools for polishing, so he can do it, but it will be rough, but it should be rough, anyway, it can be useful.

In addition to making crossbows, you need to prepare more shooting tools for use with crossbows. This is simple, you can’t get steel needles, and you can grind wood. It can't kill a person, but it can also seriously injure a person. If he had more time, he could still get some hot weapons, which Mu Nan couldn't get his hands on. He had been abroad for so many years, and he was even used to keeping one in the drawer at home. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough time to prepare. It's too late to go abroad, otherwise the safety of the two of them can be more guaranteed.

Mu Nan was lying on the bed, watching Qin Huai grinding the wood a little bit, and said curiously: "Those things that are worn on the hands like gloves and can fly out to kill people with a single press, are they fake or real? ah."

Qin Huai smiled: "Shall I get you another car that can fly and transform? How about some laser swords?"

Mu Nan clicked his tongue, saw a black moving thing out of the corner of his eye, jumped up from the bed, and subconsciously yelled: "Ah!!"

Qin Huai was taken aback by him, and the next second, the person lying on the bed picked up the slippers on the ground and rushed over to slap them on the ground.

It was only then that Qin Huai noticed that a cockroach had just come out of the kitchen and passed by their living room.

Mu Nan was still chasing and beating the cockroach, calling him while beating: "Come on brother! Shut it up! It's over to you!"

As soon as Qin Huai raised his foot and was about to step on it, he didn't expect that cockroach spread its wings and flew up.

A Xiaoqiang who can fly into the sky, not very lethal, and has a disgusting level of ten stars.

Fortunately, there are not many things placed outside their house. There is only a small dining table and a bed in the living room. There are not too many piled up items to accommodate these little disgusting hiding corners, so the Flying Apsaras died in the end. Under Mu Nan's slippers.

After killing a Xiaoqiang, Mu Nan shivered belatedly, it could fly, it was too disgusting, and it was still a huge one. Speaking of which, he has experience in killing such things. The reason why he didn't put too many items in the house is not because it is more convenient to put them in the space, but because he was tortured enough by these disgusting things in his previous life.

When the heat first started in the last life, cockroaches were very active for a period of time. It is estimated that the temperature of 30 to 40 degrees is suitable for them to survive. Later, the temperature rose all the way, and the cockroaches disappeared. Some people said that cockroaches can bear it. The high temperature of 50 degrees is the limit. At that time, the temperature outside was almost 512 degrees, and the temperature of the surface must be 60 to 70. This kind of high temperature is unbearable for cockroaches, so all those disgusting things are heated. died.

Unexpectedly, the cockroaches did not know whether they adapted or mutated, and began to crazily invade the living space of human beings, or maybe it was too hot outside, so these things kept drilling into the house, no matter how many people were killed, they would always appear again. Get a new bunch. Mu Nan is not afraid of these guys, but it's disgusting, the feeling of sleeping well, with cockroaches crawling over his body, he doesn't want to feel it again in his life!

Now the temperature outside has not yet reached fifty, and it is still around forty-five or six degrees. That is to say, it is about this time that the first active period of cockroaches is around this time. Cockroaches are infested. The doors of the rooms where vegetables are grown are tightly closed. The bathroom and kitchen doors are also closed as much as possible. The doors and windows in the living room are tightly closed, and there are no leaks. At the opening of the pipe, he sealed it layer by layer with adhesive tape, thinking that he was so well protected, at least he would not be tortured by cockroaches in this life, but he did not expect that there were roaches that slipped through the net.

Seeing that he reacted so strongly, Qin Huai quickly comforted him: "Okay, if you kill him, and then close the kitchen door, there should be no cockroaches in the living room. It's normal for such insects to exist at this temperature. Spray a little more insecticide in the kitchen and bathroom, close it tightly and repel insects, it should be better."

Mu Nan shook his head: "No, let's put away all the things in the living room first, and check everything inside and out of the house. The floor drain in the bathroom must be sealed when it is not in use. The most important thing is the kitchen, otherwise we will just clean it up. Seal the kitchen, stop cooking, you don't know, these cockroaches are very scary!"

Qin Huai couldn't help laughing: "So scared? Where did you have the courage to slap the cockroach to death just now? If there is any more, just kill it."

Mu Nan glanced at Qin Huai without saying a word, people who have never experienced a bug swarm are so innocent.

One of the advantages of having space is that it is a matter of minutes to vacate the house, Qin Huai can't hold back Mu Nan, so naturally he can only rely on him. After a while, Mu Nan emptied the living room, and the bed hadn't been moved for several months. After it was moved into the space, it was still a bit dirty under the bed. It happened to be a time when the kitchen and bathroom were sprayed with medicine and locked up to be bored. , They cleaned the living room carefully for a living.

Although it was just cleaning a living room, since several built-in wall cabinets were made, each cabinet had to be carefully inspected to avoid any leaks. After the two of them tossed about, it was already midnight. Seeing that the time was about to cut off the power, I stopped, went to take a shower, and took out the air conditioner fan and battery and connected them. After lying on the bed for a while, the air conditioner beeped, and the power was turned off.

The air conditioner was blowing leisurely on the bed, and Mu Nan was still a little worried: "Are the bathroom and kitchen locked?"

Qin Huai hummed: "It's locked, go to sleep, you've been tossing all night."

Mu Nan said: "There are a lot of germs in the cockroaches, they are dirty to death."

Qin Huai covered his ears with his hands: "Don't think about it, there are no cockroaches, the house is very clean, everything has been disinfected, and you can sleep now."

Mu Nan thought about the house carefully, and felt that there should be no problem, so she closed her eyes and went to sleep in peace.

The next day, Qin Huai saw a piece of news on the Internet, and only then did he know why Mu Nan reacted so strongly to cockroaches. There was a netizen whose house had a wooden floor. It was the quietest time of the day, and the movement became more and more obvious, so he couldn't help it, found tools, and pried open the floor of the house.

Then I saw under the floor, densely covered with cockroaches!
