Chapter 48 048 High temperature,
high temperatures and lack of water in the home have become the most serious problems today, after heavy rains and floods, water flow is broken, water and air pollution is increasing.
High temperatures began in June, and the riverbed gradually dried up. The Qingjiang River that passed through the center of Lancheng City overflowed, collapsed, broke its embankment, and then dried up. Now there are only shoals and mud swamps. Accommodating waste, there are riots going on all the time here.
Officer Song cut off a piece of cactus for Ye Fu, which he brought back when he went to look for supplies. The cactus withered and withered, but he was as excited as winning a treasure. Ye Fu thanked Officer Song for his kindness, and took out a He gave him the genie of raw land as a reward.Officer Song just thought that the land was the remnant of the Ye Fu family flower planting, the, and gave Ye Fu a bowl of dirt he took from the river embankment.
Ye Fu brought the cactus back home, immediately took out a flower pot and soil, and started grafting. Cacti are heat resistant plants, and can save lives when lacking water and food. Lancheng had no grass, and the trees by the roadside were drenched in heavy rain, cut down by residents to burn, otherwise eating leaves and bark as a way to wrap their stomachs.
After a person is hungry for a long time, there will be two conditions, thin and swollen. The human body lacks water and salt for a long time, in addition to dizziness, trembling, weakness and fatigue, there will also be tooth and hair loss.
There are still many people who withstand high temperatures and go out for food, Officer Song said there are still many snake-hunting teams outside.
Staying at home during the day and going out at night has become the lifestyle of the survivors.Temperatures at night remain high, but without direct sunlight, without direct sunlight, You don't have to worry about heat stroke or sudden death from sun exposure.
The disadvantage was that it was easy to be robbed, even tall and strong men like Police Officer Song always came back with injuries.
After living at home for three days, Officer Song brought back news that authorities had set up a base in Longtan City, 30 kilometers away from Lancheng. The people who had gone to the shelter earlier were brought to Longtan Base by the authorities. It is said that the base is very large and can accommodate millions of people, people, there is military/team control, strict discipline, and personal security can be guaranteed.
As long as you go there with your ID card and do not need to hand over any supplies, you can enter Longtan headquarters.
Officer Song tried to test Ye Fu's mind, before he realized it, he no longer regarded Ye Fu as a nineteen-year-old girl, but as an adult with quick thinking, decisive action, and strictness, and courage.
Ye Fu would not go to the headquarters, but at least he would not starve to death if he went to the headquarters, which was the best choice for most people.
Ye Fu did not go to the base in his previous life, but he knew a lot about the base.
Although it was officially established and controlled by the army/team, there were factional disputes within it. To fight for control of the base, noble families gather together to keep warm, and officials and soldiers/teams are three-legged, and they check and balance each other.
Rich and wealthy families, even in the last days, they still held the best resources in their hands.
This is just the negative part, everything has two sides, from a positive point of view, the base is at least a safe refuge, and as long as you pay for labor, you can stay in the base.
After entering the base, as long as you adhere to the base setting to do something, you can not only get food and bedding, but also get clothes and medicine.
“I won't go.” Ye Fu did not hide anything from him.
Police officer Song already had an idea in his heart after getting Ye Fu's answer.
The basis is a small, though regulated, society of good and evil mixed into one. If he brought Wenwen along, he was afraid there would be greater danger and trouble.
"Wenwen and I don't plan to leave either. I heard that men and women are managed separately. If Wenwen parted from me, I can't imagine the consequences. "
Two days later, Officer Song told Ye Fu after taking the water that many people had left behind in the past few days, the three women from Building E also went to the base, the two children were thrown away as bottles of oil.
At night, Ye Fu saw Officer Song taking the two children out to fetch water, and they limped back before dawn.
Ye Fu did not come out for a few days. Cactus successfully planted. Ye Fu did not expect that he still had the talent to farm. When he has a chance in the future, he can find a suitable place, attach a piece of land, build a house, and plant fruits, vegetables, raise chickens, ducks, and geese, he said, good for self-sufficiency too.
Two days later, the two children in Building E moved to Building D and stayed on the twelfth floor.
After Officer Song's introduction, Ye Fu also knew the name and age of both.
He Rui, ten years.
Zhang Yuan, eleven years.
Why did they fall into the hands of those people, and what did they experience? It doesn't matter anymore.
Regarding Officer Song's actions, Ye Fu did not oppose or support him. Most of the time he didn't come out, and he rarely met the two of them. They also behave very well.
The temperature rises to 49°C, and it is impossible to go out at night. When a heat wave blows into the body, there will be a burning pain. Those who leave for the base will faint after walking for half an hour or an hour.On the ground, I can no longer get up.
The white sky had changed color, large swaths of red clouds were moving and gathering, and the blackish-red sky always felt like it was going to drip blood.
Ye Fu stood on the balcony, the ice water in his hand could not help the unease in his heart, the small snake downstairs was burned to death by the hot ground in just a few seconds.
He Rui and Zhang Yuan would go out every night to retrieve the dead snakes.They did not dare to leave the community, so they ransacked several buildings.
To prevent the snake meat from rotting, they made the snake become jerky after it was taken.
In mid-August, two blisters appeared on Ye Fu's lips. He hasn't eaten meat for half a month, and he eats fresh cabbage every day. Unexpectedly, he was still feverish and angry.
After brewing a pot of herbal tea and drinking it for two days, his anger did not subside, but the nosebleeds began.
Others are not much better, heatstroke, nosebleeds, hot blisters, vomiting, seizures, cold hands and feet, and mild hypothermia appear alternately.
There were only five people inside the building now, and Ye Fu would not refuse to save him After a full day, his needle hands trembled.
Fortunately, everyone survived. The feeling of dying was too painful, as if there was a hand that forcibly tore the soul from the body. You fight it, like a tug of war. Once you fail, it means total death. .
Spontaneous combustion caused by high temperatures often occurs. High-rise buildings not far from there billowed smoke, and a pungent burning smell could be smelled several streets away. After the explosion of the chemical furnace in the factory, black smoke was everywhere, and the sky returned to its gray appearance. .
