23 Tidy up the nest

Walking on the country road with a suitcase, Lu Ping looked into the distance, feeling a little depressed.

I could have knocked those robbers unconscious and handed them over to the police just now, but I don't know why, I actually killed them, and they were so cruel and bloody that they all felt strange.

Although those are damned people, although they know that they will not blame themselves, they just feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

If you regret it, but you don't feel that you are wrong, even if you choose it again, it will still be the result. After all, there are those things that are not as good as beasts in the world, and I don't know how many people will be harmed, so it is better to let them disappear completely.

It's just that the method is a bit extreme, but Lu Ping can't be blamed for this, but there are reasons that even he doesn't know.

Because I have been in the apocalypse for a long time, I will be somewhat angry in fighting zombies and evolutionaries every day. So when he heard that the pervert didn't even let go of the children, Lu Ping at that moment couldn't help the anger in his heart, and his mind was affected by the killing, and he would be so bloody and cruel when he killed them.

"That's it, kill all the kills, it's useless to think about it."

After shaking his head and shaking off all the thoughts in his mind, Lu Ping walked towards a provincial highway and waited for a long time before stopping a car and returning to the provincial capital.

Then it took another day to get rid of all the jewels in his hands. In exchange, it was the nine-digit number displayed on the bank counter machine, and the eyes of the people who looked at it were dazzled, and they couldn't close their mouths with a smile all day long.

Considering that the end of the day requires Dalian to hoard grain and materials, Lu Ping deliberately went to more than a dozen bank counters, took hundreds of thousands of dollars and put them in the space bag, and then waved his hand, otherwise the bank counters in the entire provincial capital would have to strike.

After entering a large commercial city, Lu Ping is simply a nouveau riche face, computers, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, cigarettes, alcohol, tea, and all kinds of killing, making the store employees who are helping behind happy with a smile on their faces.

In the end, he bought fifty or sixty tons of grain, spent all the hundreds of thousands of dollars he had just taken out, and then returned to Taiping Village on the trucks of the mall.

But after returning to the old mansion, Lu Ping was completely dumbfounded, looking at the wires as thick as noodles hanging on the beams of the house, messy on the spot.

Taiping Village is located in the middle of the mountains, it is considered a poor and remote area, and the families are far away, and the construction of the power grid can be imagined how bad it is in the absence of large villages.

Electricity is used by several wires that are pulled from the main electrical box to each household and hung on stakes made of wood to form so-called poles. And electricity, which can support a TV, a few fans, and a few high-power light pipes, can be regarded as extraordinary.

Because more often than not, the power is not stable, which leads to the fan not working properly, and the rotation is sometimes slow and fast, and the wind is also coming and going, and the hot summer blows people straight and painful. It is necessary to have a fan at any time, and people can only move the wind, otherwise it has never been sent.

Especially in an old mud-brick house like Lu Ping, there was no equipment such as electricity before, but after Lu Ping moved in, he pulled two wires from other places, and then hung a small yellow, orange and orange light bulb on the old beam to illuminate the dim old house.

Therefore, if you want to rely on these two small toothpick-like wires to support so many high-power electrical equipment, you don't have to think about it. Presumably, these appliances can only be used when a new house is built, and now they can only be piled up on the second floor, waiting for the dust to submerge.

"Hey, impulse is the devil, it's cool to buy it, it's useless."

Shaking his head helplessly, after moving the high-power electrical appliances that he didn't need to the second floor one after another, Lu Ping moved all the dozens of tons of rice and flour piled up outside the house into several bedrooms, stored them, and prepared to stay in the end of the world for the next period of time and sell food in exchange for corpse crystals.

Although Nightfall City hadn't yet figured out what the corpse crystal was for, with his intuition, Lu Ping decided that it would be better to collect more. Even if the corpse crystal really has no other great use, the amount that the Yin Yang Fish Totem needs to devour is increasing day by day, and it is always better to be prepared if you get more.

"This work is really not done by people, why are you so tired?"

After working as a porter for half a day, the tired Lu Ping was half dead, and he lay on the bed and rested for a long time before he got up and began to install some necessities such as electric light sockets in the old house.

If you don't pretend, you can't do it, this time it's dark, and the whole mountain is pitch black everywhere, and you can't see your fingers. Especially on a night without moonlight, there is not much light in the old house, there are no candles, and the silence is more eerie than a haunted house. If Lu Ping hadn't stayed in the apocalypse for a long time and seen too many zombies, I'm afraid he would have been scared and didn't dare to live for a long time.

Therefore, the installation of electric lights is urgent, and it cannot be delayed in the slightest. There's no way, who told Lu Ping to be afraid of ghosts, in the dark old mansion, he really doesn't feel a sense of security.

After taking out a bundle of wires from the plastic bag and laying roughly every line leading to the house, take out a pair of wire cutters from the tool, cut them one by one, and then pull down the old-fashioned safety switch outside the house to pick up the wire.

This wiring is not difficult, how can Lu Ping say that the mathematics, physics and chemistry in high school are not bad, and a line is pulled in a few clicks, and then the socket is installed, and the chandelier is hung on the beam. After a lot of hard work, I finally solved the most terrible toilet lighting problem, and I no longer have to worry about falling into the pit when I go to the toilet at night.

On the second floor, all bedrooms, kitchens, every corner did not fall, and there were more than a dozen light bulbs installed, Lu Ping gave up, and after trying them one by one, he suddenly felt much more down-to-earth.

It's not like God has passed by, it's really that this old house is too old, built with large mud bricks, except for the door, there is not a single ventilation hole, but it is not like the current building, there are windows and balconies, and the moonlight can be cast into the house.

Not to mention at night, even in broad daylight, it is extremely dark. The door is a little better, but once you enter the bedroom or the second floor, you really can't see any light, don't light a candle, don't want to see things.

So if you don't install a few more lights, I'm afraid you won't dare to enter this old house. And this old house is a little unclean, and there is a rumor of this in the village, so if there are some strange noises suddenly at night, there is no light, and you have to be scared to death.

Since you have decided to tidy up your nest, you will naturally have to do it all at once, so as not to continue to trouble.

However, this water problem is not easy to solve, because the old house was built too old, and it is built in a separate place, and in the absence of running water, the water is like a super tank in the kitchen, which can be used for several days after being full.

However, when it is used up, you have to go hundreds of meters away to pick it up, and so on, it can be said that it is as troublesome as it is. Therefore, compared with the post-90s generation who are accustomed to all the convenient life in the city, it is not an easy task.

However, it's not impossible to solve it, just look at the plastic water pipes all over the ground, and you can see that this guy has already prepared everything, and maybe he has found a target in advance.

He smiled, picked up dozens of water pipes, brought tools, and walked outside the old house.

Passing by the trail, passing through the barren fields, and stepping on a few hills, Lu Ping finally found an open-air water pipe spread on the ground. After smiling, he clicked with the tool he brought, and cut the pipe directly.

"Poof."

Suddenly, water spurted out of the pipe, splashing everywhere, Lu Ping didn't care about getting wet, and hurriedly connected the three-way water pipe he brought. After installing a valve at the exit leading to your home, you can close it and stop the raging water in an instant.

Then I had time to slowly connect the water pipes one by one and lay them at home.

When he arrived at the door of the house, he bumped into Liu Zhengmao, who he hadn't seen for a long time, but he didn't expect this guy to open his mouth and say: "Where did you steal the water from your kid, it shouldn't be our family, right?" ”

"you, your house is so far apart, who wants to steal it? Besides, if I use some water, it's hard for someone to catch me. ”

"Maybe, yo, it's electricity and water, you kid really plan to stay long, right?"

Liu Zhengmao walked into the house, looked at the cottage chandeliers in the house, and was instantly amused by this guy, and made fun of it. "What are you doing with so many lights? Afraid of the dark? ”

"Damn, you don't know that this old house is a little unclean, don't decorate it much, who dares to live in it?"

After taking out a few bottles of drinks from the bedroom and throwing one to the other party at random, Lu Ping sat on the small bamboo chair and said, "Why did you have time to come to me today?" Nothing busy? ”

"Well, I've been idle these days, and I just have nothing to do, so I'm walking around, how about it? You've been living here for ten days and a half months, have you ever encountered anything strange? ”

"I want to know, hehe, I won't know if I come to live for a few days."

"Ugh."

Looking at the old house, Liu Zhengmao still shook his head and said, "Forget it then, I don't want to be suddenly buried alive in the middle of the night." ”

"Don't worry, if I really bury you alive, I will definitely build you a big tomb to protect your name for a hundred generations, hahaha."

"you, or leave it to yourself."

"Hehe, you sit down first, I'll go and connect the water pipes, and take a good shower tonight."

"Do you want a helper?"

"No, you can go by yourself."

There are only a few faucets left, and it will be done in a while, Lu Ping didn't let the other party do it, and continued to work on his own.

"Hey,, what's going on?"

Liu Zhengmao saw that the other party was busy, so he walked around the old house by himself, but as soon as he entered the bedroom, he was immediately frightened by the food in the room, and asked Lu Ping in the kitchen: "It's been several years since the end of the world, why are you still buying so much food, ready to retreat?" ”

"What kind of catastrophe, now the pop house culture, mine is not keeping up with the trend of the times. Isn't this planning to stay in the old house for a few years to see if you can break the Guinness Book of Records? If you can get a gold medal or something, then there will be countless otaku girls to worship. ”

"Worship your size, you kid is really nervous, so much food, what year and month are you going to eat? Didn't I say you, with this spare money, why can't you afford a small building? Marry a wife and live a good life? ”

I am afraid that the grain in these several houses is worth hundreds of thousands, but now this kid has bought all the grain, which can be described as a willful act of a loser. As an elder brother, Liu Zhengmao, how could he not say something, it is already good to be caught and scolded.

"What are you angry about, since I bought it, I naturally have my reasons, you don't understand."

After connecting a faucet, the tools were thrown to the side at will, and Lu Ping said: "I still have too little food, there is still a lot of space on the second floor and in the lobby of the house, I plan to buy another batch tomorrow and come back to prepare." ”

"Ready? Why are you buying so much food? Is the end of the world coming? Or are you ready to open a grain store? ”

There are not many households in this Shankara place, and the families live scattered, which directly leads to the fact that there are no markets, no shops, and not even more roadside stalls. So Liu Zhengmao couldn't understand at all, what did this guy want to do when he got so much food? Sell to whom?

"Open a grain store? Pretty much, I'm a grain transit station at best. ”

Selling grain in the last days can be regarded as opening a grain store, Lu Ping said a few words vaguely, and walked towards the hall of the house with Liu Zhengmao, and suddenly asked about another matter.

"By the way, is the electricity at your house stable enough?"

A few years ago, I said that the power system would be rebuilt, and there has been no movement until now, which makes people angry when they think about it."

Speaking of this, Liu Zhengmao was a little helpless, but there was no way, who called Taiping Village too remote, and wanted to build a stable power network, the cost of this investment is probably not a small amount. Based on the situation in the village, it is estimated that it will be difficult to rise if there are not a few rich people.

"What, there's not enough electricity?"

"Well, didn't I buy a lot of electrical appliances yesterday, but I didn't expect to use them, so I wanted to see if there was any way to solve it."

After listening to Lu Ping talk about yesterday's troubles, Liu Zhengmao smiled and quipped: "Who told you to install so many light bulbs." ”

"What's the matter with turning off the light bulb, hurry up and find a way to see if there is any solution."

This electricity problem must be solved, otherwise the lights will be turned off from time to time, and who can stand it. And if you build a new house in the future, you will also have to face this problem, so it is better to do it as soon as possible so as not to be annoying.

"It's not easy, just get your own power generation equipment. But this price is not cheap, it depends on whether you kid use it or not. ”

"Power generation? Build a power station? That's a good idea. ”

Liu Zhengmao rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Who asked you to build a power station, I just asked you to get a small power generation equipment." Besides, the power station thing is simply a money-burning thing, do you have the spare money to build it? ”

"You'll know this then, and if you have time tomorrow, go to the town with me to find out about building a power station."

"Are you kid playing really?"

Liu Zhengmao tilted his head, looking at this guy in surprise, thinking that the other party was joking.

"It's hard to laugh with you."

patting the dirty clothes, Lu Ping took out two large bags of cigarettes, wine and tea from the bedroom, and said to Liu Zhengmao: "Let's go, go to your house for dinner, and by the way, ask my uncle where the power station is built." ”

"I'm grass, is this kid secretly developed, since he started to build a power station."

muttering a few words in a low voice, Liu Zhengmao looked at Lu Ping's figure walking out of the old house, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Hey, you kid wait for me, hurry up and recruit from the truth, is your kid developed."
