Chapter 1314: Gou in the Last Days of the Natural Disaster (42)
After the start of the ground test field, Xu Yin's four children basically lived on the ground, but they slept in the camp of the old base during the day and came out to work at night.
The temperature usually drops to the early 40s at night, and can drop to 356 degrees when it rains, even if you don't carry an ice pack.
The area that the four of them are responsible for is close to the welfare home, and when they rest in between, they can also go to the bunker together to open a small stove.
The days went on unhurriedly.
Despite the harsh climate and environment, both human beings and nature have a strong ability to adapt, and after a period of time, they gradually adapted to the high temperature days, and the plants that like high temperature and humidity gradually multiply and grow, and human beings can gradually get out of the comfort zone of the dungeon.
However, the schedule has also been adjusted, and it is also to go back to the dungeon or old base to rest during the day, and complete the tasks of claiming it at night, such as cleaning the house, overhauling equipment, transporting the rotten vegetation that is not resistant to high temperatures to the designated manure point, and so on.
It's certainly a lot harder than the dungeon's stable work, but the pay is not bad, and there are not only contribution points but also room and board during the mission, so there are still a lot of people who are willing to work on the ground from their comfort zone.
Xu Yin met Lin Chen and Song Lin who came to deliver fertilizer in the experimental field, and once Lin Chen asked her if she had seen a short uncle.
"I ran to every area of Canterlot and couldn't find him, and I suspect he's no longer alive." Lin Chen mentioned his uncle, his throat choked, "I really appreciate him, I always want to thank him in person......"
"I'm looking for someone too." Song Lin said, "He is very tall, he has to be 1.9 meters, he is very handsome and thin." I painted a portrait of him, he gave me a bag of instant noodles, and my parents said that the instant noodles that day were the most delicious meal in my memory! ”
Xu Yin: "......"
How dare you say that the person you are looking for is here?
However, they didn't think that Xu Yin must have seen the uncle and the young man, so they left in a hurry after asking a few words, and continued to transport the rotten plants.
Xu Yin looked at their distant backs, sighed in her heart, looked up at the bright starry sky, and prayed that the natural disaster would pass as soon as possible and everyone would be able to return to normal work and life.
But she knew that the high temperature was only one of the disasters in this apocalyptic text, followed by nuclear explosions, nuclear leaks, and the ensuing disasters and diseases, as well as erupting volcanoes, wildfires that stretched for thousands of kilometers, and finally ended in a majestic rainstorm, but at the same time ushered in acid rain corrosion and flooding.
Beginning with a torrential flood and ending with a torrential flood, this seems to be like a cycle of fate.
In addition to informing the government by anonymous email, she also took her friends to open up as much land as possible, grow a variety of vegetables and grains, and ponder how to breed freshwater fish and shrimp in a high-temperature environment.
It's been another three years.
Xu Yin and Ning Jin are twelve years old, and Xu Dong and Xu Xi are also eleven years old.
In the past three years, they have planted several crops that are resistant to high temperatures, and the food in the base canteen is much more abundant than before.
During this period, the four children basically lived and worked on the ground, and went back to take an exam at the end of each semester, with Xu Yin and Ning Jin staring, Xu Dong and Xu Xi's self-learning ability improved a lot, and their homework did not fall behind.
Who dares to fall behind, if the results of any exam are not satisfactory, Ning Jin will definitely be staring at his studies next, and he will have no chance to go to the bunker to open a small stove.
From time to time, I go back to the bunker to open a small stove, the nutrition of the four has always been very comprehensive, after the age of ten, the height is fast, Ning Jin is the tallest of the four, and he is in his early seventies at the age of twelve, and he is about to catch up with Xiaohu.
Xiaohu often muttered: Does it become taller when the sun shines too much? He didn't like to bask in the sun since he was a child, he always liked to read at home when he was a child, and when he grew up, he liked to hide in the laboratory to do experiments and didn't want to go to the field, so he was so short?
"Even if you grow tall, you still have tanned skin." Xiao Hu pinched Ning Jin's arm enviously, wishing that the two of them would change their skins.
Xu Dong smiled and said, "Brother Hu, don't you know? The sun gets darker and darker, but the moon gets whiter and whiter. ”
"Really?"
The four children looked at each other, and the next second, they burst into laughter, leaning forward and leaning back with laughter.
"Tease you! Hahaha! ”
"Brother Hu, why are you still so simple!"
Xiao Hu reacted at this time, and he was angry: "Wow! Dare to tease you little brother Hu, wait for me! ”
The children were not afraid of him at all, and ran away laughing.
Suddenly, I felt the ground shake.
The workers working in the experimental field all ran out:
"What's going on?"
"I don't know! Was it an earthquake? ”
"Quick! Squat down! ”
Everyone squatted on the open field with their heads in their hands.
"Why are you squatting here if you don't go back to camp?"
Professor Liu walked over with a flashlight.
"Professor, there was just an earthquake."
"Nonsense, we won't have an earthquake here."
"Really, we're all feeling the shaking on the surface."
"Impossible!"
Professor Liu walked in front and led everyone back to the camp.
Xu Yin couldn't tell if it was an earthquake, or maybe it was the tremors caused by earthquakes in other places.
The original text only focuses on describing the disaster in the area where the male protagonist is located, and the situation in other places is passed through the dialogue between the protagonist and the supporting role. And the male protagonist didn't come here in the text.,But in N City.,Could it be that there was an earthquake in N City?
Sure enough, the next day, the news reported that there was a 4.9-magnitude earthquake in N City last night, and although there were enough earthquake-proof joints in N City, it was inevitable that it would suffer some shocks, causing some casualties. Fortunately, after the flood, some of the citizens who were not infected were relocated, otherwise it would have been even worse.
Then came the bad news: the sea was being polluted on a large scale.
Preliminary estimates are that it caused a nuclear leak during the floods, and the leaked sewage is spreading across the ocean along the ocean currents.
The news was more alarming than the earthquake.
After all, an earthquake is a disaster for people within a certain range, but the area affected by seawater pollution is too wide, not to mention whether coastal areas can still touch seawater and seafood, and whether every rain that falls in the future will also carry radioactive materials?
When the rain falls to the ground, will the heat-tolerant crops that have been cultivated with great difficulty absorb these radioactive materials and be eaten by people?
From decision-makers to ordinary citizens, everyone is worried.
Xu Yin was glad that she had stockpiled a lot of anti-radiation materials in the last small world.
That's when it comes in handy.
So, she's been looking for a suitable spot these days, preferably one of the abandoned caves that are a bit old.
But before she could find a suitable venue, she heard the weather forecast that there would be a heavy rainfall in the near future, and at this time, the disaster relief team composed of soldiers and volunteers was assembled and was about to set off for relief in N City and other earthquake-stricken areas.
Can't wait any longer!
Xu Yin used the excuse of going to the toilet, and on the way down to the field, she went back to the camp, and released a pile of wooden boxes of anti-radiation materials nailed to the hillside behind the bomb shelter, as well as various medical first aid kits and marching dry food packages.
