Chapter 2: Dig deep holes and accumulate grain
On Wang Lu's college graduation commemorative book, the message to his classmates was, "See you in Japan, all wives and children are hot pits." In a word, it's an honest and ordinary soy sauce crowd. The profession he is engaged in is also the editor of a government website, and living a peaceful life has always been his only way.
However, men are men after all, and when a crisis comes, the first thing to reflect is Wang Lu.
I saw him throw the binoculars on the bed, and rushed out of the bedroom in a few steps, and soon, the sound of the anti-theft door card locking came from the living room. Then, there was a churning sound in the kitchen, and Wang Lu's chatter: "Potatoes, taro, cauliflower, broccoli, greens, ......"
Chen Wei and her son Wang Bian glanced at each other, turned over and got out of bed, Wang Bian quietly touched the binoculars, and wanted to look at the opposite building, Chen Wei happened to see from the corner of his eye, snatched the telescope with his hand, and threw it on the desk.
Chen Wei didn't care about wearing slippers, trotted barefoot through the living room, and happened to see Wang Lu holding a bunch of potatoes and vegetables in his arms, and was laboriously opening the refrigerator door.
Chen Wei hurriedly said: "Wang Lu! What are you doing? When is it, what kind of kitchen are you still in charge of, quick, hurry up......"
Wang Lu didn't raise his head, and stuffed the vegetables in his hand into the refrigerator, and there was a cauliflower that couldn't be stuffed in the back, he thought about it, took out a few green vegetables, stuffed the cauliflower into it, and closed the refrigerator door. Only then did he turn around: "Go? Where to go? ”
"Of course it's ......" Chen Wei only said half a sentence, and she couldn't go on, yes, where to go?
Wang Lu spread his hands: "Have you watched "Resident Evil"? Have you seen "The Walking Dead"? At this time, the virus must have broken out in the whole city, no, it should be the whole world. If you think about it, we are not in the community where the flow of people is concentrated and the most exchanged, but there are still people who have become walking corpses, which shows that outside, in the places where the flow of people is concentrated, the outbreak of the virus is even more severe. ”
"It's daytime, and it's the time when there are the least people in residential areas, but outside, on the streets, in shopping malls, in office buildings, schools, government departments, when there are piles of people, when the virus breaks out, the infection is the fastest, and the most dead people are outside." Wang Lu swallowed his saliva: "At this time, how can we run outside?!" ”
"But ...... at home," Chen Wei said half a sentence, and Wang Lu interrupted her: "Now the home is the safest, rest assured, our house is not a wooden-paneled house of the Yankees, we are a reinforced concrete residential building, and we are on the top floor, only an anti-theft door can enter and exit, although that thing is iron, but the walking corpse can gnaw with teeth, and it can't get in." ”
Wang Lu said with a heavy face: "How long we can hold on to this relatively safe room depends on how much we eat and drink." ”
Chen Wei came to his senses at this time: "No wonder you are in a hurry to put all the dishes in the refrigerator." ”
Wang Lu shook his head slightly: "The refrigerator is only for a while." ”
"What do you mean?" Chen Wei said strangely.
Wang Lu cheered up: "Let's not talk about this first, let's find out what else to eat at home." ”
The two couples quickly collected the food at home, and there were a lot of things: two bags of rice, one of which had just been opened, two large bags of Master Kong's beef noodles, in addition to the vegetables just put in the refrigerator, there were also three catties of a piece of pork belly, four catties of beef, a bag of quick-frozen chicken wings, a piece of sauce meat, a piece of salted meat, 3 catties of sausages, four bags of quick-frozen dumplings, a bag of soup garden, and a few bags of dried seafood. This lot of food, thanks to Wang Lu's habit, he likes to buy a large number of dishes at one time, and then put them in the refrigerator to eat for four or five days, from previous experience, these foods, if you save a little food, it is not a problem to eat for half a month.
Chen Wei snapped her fingers: "There are still some snacks in the living room, what peanuts, beef jerky, melon seeds, chocolate, kraft candy, ......"
"How many?" Wang Lu asked.
"Well, I just bought it at the supermarket yesterday, and it cost more than 500 yuan." Chen Wei was a little embarrassed - a few days ago, she just yelled about losing weight, but when she turned around and bought so many snacks, she couldn't help it, when she watched American dramas, she always liked to stuff snacks into her mouth while watching.
Wang Lu shook his head: "These things can't fill your stomach, but they have a long shelf life, so keep them and eat them slowly, and eat all the fresh vegetables first." ”
While the two were talking, Wang Lu suddenly patted his head: "I forgot the water." As he spoke, he hurried to the bathroom, turned on the faucet in the shower, and the water gushed out, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly closed it, and turned his head to Chen Wei, who was following up, and said, "Quick, bring all the buckets and basins." ”,
There are not many buckets and basins at home, just two buckets and two basins, one of which is a small basin used by Wang Bi'an when he was a child, and it was quickly filled with water.
Wang Lu estimated: "There are two buckets of bottled water in the living room, in addition, the water in the solar water heater is full, and the water in the electric water heater in the bathroom is also full. Speaking of which, buying an electric water heater and a solar water heater was Wang Lu's stupid idea when he was decorating, because Chen Wei once said that he wanted to take a bath in the bathtub of the half-base shower room, and Wang Lu estimated that the water of a solar water heater was not enough for a bathtub, so he simply added an electric water heater in the bathroom, and the upper and lower two water heaters were connected with pipes. Unexpectedly, now the oversized tanks of these two water heaters have come in handy for life-saving purposes.
Chen Wei was a little strange: "What are you doing with so much water?" The running water hasn't been cut off. ”
Wang Lu sighed: "This tap water, I don't know how many days it can be used." I don't know how long the waterworks will run automatically if no one manages them, but one thing is for sure, there must be an outbreak of the virus in the waterworks now, and the tap water will be cut off sooner or later. ”
Chen Wei was anxious: "Is there enough water in our house?" ”
Wang Lu gritted his teeth: "I'll think of a way again." ”
Wang Lu's trick is to use his son's plasticine to plug the half-base shower room, kitchen sink, and washbasin drain mouths, and then put water on it, and put water in the washing machine.
And Chen Wei turned out all the cups, bowls and pots, pots and pots in the house, all filled with water, and even plastic bags were used to store water.
Chen Wei looked at the refrigerator, looked at the kitchen, and then looked at the water in the living room, "Husband, you said, how long can we hold on to these foods and water." ”
Wang Lu had a bitter face: "I don't know what to do." He looked at Chen Wei: "I really don't know the road, because I don't know when the pipeline gas will be cut off, and I don't know when the electricity will be cut off." ”
Chen Wei opened her mouth and suddenly understood, just like a waterworks will cut off water because no one manages it, petrochemical plants and power plants will not last long under no management.
Wang Lu scratched his head: "Alas, it's better to use a gas cylinder before, a bottle of gas can be used for more than half a month, and now the pipeline gas is convenient, but once the source is broken, the whole city has no gas." ”
Chen Wei didn't say a word, turned her head and walked towards the refrigerator.
Wang Lu chased after him and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Chen Wei didn't reply: "I'll cook all kinds of meat and raw food in the refrigerator now, by the way, I have to cook some rice, I can't eat raw food at that time." ”
Wang Lu muttered: "There is no electricity, and I can't hold anything in the refrigerator." ”
Chen Wei glared back at him: "As long as the door is closed in the ice room, it can last for a few days." At a time like this, it's a day to live. ”
It's a day to be able to live. Yes, what more could you ask for in this biochemical apocalypse?
