A new day begins with Su He's complaints.

Last night, it was obvious that he offered to let Duan Xingze sleep with him, but when he woke up in the morning, he found that half of the stinky child was pressed on him, which made his low blood sugar symptoms in the morning worse.

He staggered out of bed, just in time to meet Lu Rulan taking the pot back to the cabin to fetch water. The two brothers glanced at each other, and before they could speak, they saw Su He pointing to the bedroom at the stern of the boat.

Lu Rulan understood what he meant, but shook her head quickly.

"Cut!" Su He climbed out of bed, muttering, "It's in vain for me to sacrifice my big self and give them a chance to create a zào, Lao Duan is still not a gentleman!" ”

However, complaining is complaining, and some tacit things seem to be only suitable for secretly discussing in the dead of night. When the day was bright, everyone was still dressed and talked about some serious things.

This morning, Duan Whale led Lu Rulan and Haichen to continue to inspect the unexplored areas of the botanical garden. Duan Xingze stayed on the first floor of the villa and used his father's laptop and teaching software to teach himself the first grade of primary school.

The remaining three people began to work on a meaningful renovation project - tap water.

After some exploration, Su He found a wooden door leading to the basement of the villa on the back of the staircase on the first floor.

The basement is also not small, divided into five rooms. In one room, there were a few sheets of linen and a pool table, while the other had a few boxes of unopened cutlery and tablecloths. The main water meter for the entire restaurant is located in the smallest room in the basement.

Like many ordinary bungalows, the two-storey villa restaurant is not designed to be supplied with gravity water from the rooftop tank, but directly through a water pipe buried in the ground in guò.

The three of them first turned off the water valve in the basement, and then worked together to carry the water pump they had found from the construction site yesterday to the back of the villa, outside the window of the bathroom. Tie the inlet pipe that matches the pump to a bamboo pole and poke into the artificial lake next to it. The outlet pipe of the water pump was connected to a large water filter jointly made by Du Yunfei and Su He yesterday evening.

The next most critical issue is to decide the direction of the water pipes in the home.

"The pump can't be turned on 24 hours a day, and even if you don't take into account the noise, you have to consider the wear and tear of the fuselage and fuel issues. If you don't turn on the pump, you can't get tap water in the real sense. ”

Du Yunfei, who raised this contradiction, immediately gave a solution: "So we must divert water to the roof and build a reservoir on the roof to let the water fall naturally under the action of gravity." ”

And Lin Youqing, who is relatively more professional, has also considered this problem: "Duan ...... Didn't Duan Whale let us move a mixing drum from the construction site? That should be a good fit for a water tank. ”

They immediately found the huge plastic bucket from the grass where the various materials were stacked. There is a raised model description on the barrel body, and the capacity is 1000 liters.

Du Yunfei has the experience of living in water-scarce areas, and he skillfully calculates: "Each person takes a 15-minute shower once a day, and the water consumption is between 60-80 liters." Water-saving toilets are used, and each person flushes about 20 liters a day. Combined with washing, cooking, and cleaning, 1,000 liters is enough for seven people for one day. Therefore, the pump only needs to be turned on once a day. ”

It was clearly the perfect state, and without further ado, the three of them immediately set about setting up the tank.

It took a lot of work to lift the almost one-person-tall plastic mixing drum onto the roof. In contrast, connecting the pipes from the water filter to the roof is much easier.

The two-storey thick plastic pipe is firmly bound to the downspout under the eaves, and the top is connected to the top of the roof tank. Lin Youqing also opened two openings at the top and bottom of the plastic water tank for ventilation and water discharge, respectively.

The final step is to connect the pipe from the water outlet of the tank through the window of the toilet on the second floor into the women's toilet and connect it to the main water main.

Succeed with flying colors! Then came the time to witness the miracle.

Du Yunfei returned to the water pump downstairs, while Su He and Lin Youqing stood by the water tank on the roof of the building. The two sides said hello and prepared to start the real yàn.

Taking advantage of Du Yunfei's time to adjust the water pump, Su He took out two chocolates from his pocket, one of which was handed to Lin Youqing.

"This is the last sweetness of human civilization, will you eat it?"

Lin Youqing knew that Su He had low blood sugar, shook his head and declined his life-saving candy, thought about it and said one more word: "Thank you." ”

"Huh?"

Su He put the chocolate candy in his mouth, his cheeks bulged, and his voice was slurred: "You don't eat my sugar, thank me for what." ”

At this moment, I heard only the sound of gurgling water, and the water under the building was pumped up, beating like a drum in the plastic tank.

Like children, the two of them hurried to the vent of the water tank and looked inside—the first section of water was gray, but it soon became clear, and to the naked eye it looked no different from natural water.

Lin Youqing stayed behind and continued to guard the bucket, and Su He quickly ran downstairs into the bathroom and turned on the two faucets on the sink. I only heard the sound of whirring air, and the murky water gushed out. As with the tank, the water flow quickly becomes clear and clean.

After trying the toilet on the second floor, Su He went to the kitchen and toilet on the first floor to make a real job, and the new natural water system proved to be a great success.

After the initial dirty water was drained, the tank began to store normally. Waiting for the clear water to overflow the estimated draft line, Lin Youqing motioned for Du Yunfei to turn off the pump. However, at the moment, the water in the tank cannot be used directly except for flushing the toilet.

When he left H City, Du Yunfei took a little drifting □□ with him. When he went upstairs, he added the powder to the water according to the proportions through the guò vents. Although there is not much □□ dosage left, there is a large amount of hydrated lime in the construction site, which reacts with the electrolyzed seawater, which is a good substitute for disinfectants.

They had been busy since eight o'clock in the morning, and in a blink of an eye, it was past twelve o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, another group of people who went out on patrol came back early to prepare a meal, and everyone sat down to eat and feed the dogs, but there was also talk and laughter.

After two or three days of continuous searching, it is basically certain that all the zombies in the botanical garden have been eliminated. Even in the unlikely event that there are one or two fish that have been caught in the net, they must have been locked in some small enclosed area. As long as you patrol on time every day and increase vigilance, it will not pose much of a threat.

With everything in place, I can finally consider moving back to the mainland.

After lunch, there is a break. Duan Xingze lay directly on the table in the hall and took a nap, while several adults couldn't wait to take out the newly obtained large "toys".

The drone is ready to go after being recharged. After the initial setup is completed by Duan Whale, it will take off. A group of people gathered around and watched the real-time captured video footage through software installed on their laptops.

With the humming sound of the rotors working normally, Eight Hearts and Eight Arrows took off smoothly from the path in front of the door. Su He switched the picture to the bottom camera, and as the drone flew higher and higher, from the roof of the villa to the tropical rainforest greenhouse on the side, slowly, the panoramic view of the entire Foguang Island Botanical Garden appeared in front of everyone for the first time.

Shaded by greenery and brilliant flowers. The lake is quiet, with blistering greenhouses and white sailboats moored on the shore......

"This is our new home."

I don't know who whispered.

No one said anything more, but the displacement, panic and sadness that I had experienced these days seemed to have been healed at this moment, under the cultivation of such a beautiful scenery.

The drone circled over the botanical garden for a while, completed a few basic movements, and after confirming that there were no problems with various functions, it began to move towards the east.

Fly along the white ribbon-like bridge over the sparkling strait. The defensive wall erected yesterday at noon stood silently on the docks, waiting for the people to install the final iron gates.

The drone flew over the wall and continued to fly eastward. The part of the bridge that connects it to the land is the end of the ancient headland. The southwest side of the road is a desolate ridge, while the northeast side is a large tidal flat.

The drone changed direction and began to move northeast along the coastline.

"These tidal flats are surrounded by barbed wire, and they look like they're being tended." Haichen pointed to the computer screen, "There must be something under the tidal flats, probably because it is remote here, so it has been opened up into a clam pond." ”

After flying about 10 kilometers to the north, the tidal flats were gradually replaced by sandy beaches. The beach soon turned into a breakwater embankment again. A few hundred meters away from the embankment, a number of real estate construction sites appeared.

This is supposed to be what Suhe called a "high-end residential area", and a little further away there are parks and facilities that look like sports fields, and they are still under construction.

The drone flew a little farther, and green farmland began to appear on the ground. In order to see what kind of crops are grown, the drone lowered the altitude and soon found that they were all low mulberry trees.

"There are many mulberry silkworms in the Jiangnan area, but what is the use of so many mulberry leaves in the future." Lin Youqing sighed in a low voice.

"yes." Su He also had a lot of concern: "I really regret that I only brought a set of silk pajamas, and I was robbed by you." ”

Flying over the mulberry field, some dilapidated abandoned factories appeared in front. The relocation was supposed to be carried out in line with the business plan of the nearby area. To the north of the factory is the urban-rural junction in the suburbs of Z City. With its low buildings and narrow streets, it looks like a small urban village.

The drone has been flying at a low altitude of about ten meters. As a result, you can clearly see what is happening on the ground - a minibus has overturned on its side in a drainage ditch about five metres deep next to the road leading to the urban village. The shattered glass windows were stained with blood, and shoes, luggage, and other miscellaneous items were scattered all around.

But the most shocking thing is the pool of blood in the east and the west, and a zombie who has lost the lower half of his body but is still wriggling in the pool of blood.

As if they were there, everyone suddenly became nervous.

The drone continued to fly forward, eventually reaching the top of the urban village. It had apparently experienced a catastrophe as well, with the narrow streets in disarray, almost every house with their doors wide open, and some of them still had clothes left under the eaves to dry.

However, the owners of these garments may no longer need them.

"Zombies!"

Lu Rulan issued a warning, and at the same time reached out and clicked on a small screen on the right side of the computer operation screen. That's the drone's front right camera. There is a three-story cement building in the picture, and a zombie is standing on the balcony of the top floor, staring intently at the drone, as if it might pounce at any moment.

Seeing this, cold sweat broke out in their palms, and they hurriedly let Duan Whale raise their altitude to avoid the destruction of this valuable collective property.

Perhaps because of the relatively high population density here, the further north you go, the number of zombies begins to increase significantly. Instead of rushing around like they did the night of the accident, they roamed the streets seemingly aimlessly.

"No, not without purpose."

Su He suddenly frowned: "They...... In the same direction! ”
