【Environmental Pollution-04】

I have enough money, what should do?

The students of the 183 research group have never worried about life during their college days. Their parents will give them living expenses on time every month.

But now, if you follow Brother Liu's suggestion and leave some funds for emergency purchase of "medicine", each person's money is only enough to buy 5 packs of biscuits. Divide it into 14 days, and eat one packet every three days, then they are estimated to starve to death here.

They looked at each other for a while.

Lin Manluo suggested: "Seriously, can we eat leaves when I summon a big tree to purify the air? My vines should also be able to eat. There is no green "color" in this world, I can still get some green "color" plants for the big tree. eat."

Everyone: "..."

In the following days, they will be sucking soil and eating leaves? It was so miserable.

Lan Yarong rested her forehead helplessly: "Manluo, those green vines of yours can tie people up and hang them. Pulling with your hands will cut off the knives. It's like steel bars. Can our teeth move?"

Lin Manluo looked back at Xin Yan with a guilty conscience: "Is there Xin Yan? Steam it before eating."

Xin Yan was expressionless: "Can you bite after it's cooked?"

As a foodie, Ke Shaobin immediately and sincerely suggested: "I think, to the point of starvation, we should not eat the leaves and vines of Senior Sister Lin, right? That mouth and taste will leave a psychological shadow!"

Jiang Pingce was not interested in eating leaves or rattan, so he read Xingwen: "If you find a way to make some money."

Since you have enough money to spend, you can either steal, rob, or make money.

These people are all from famous schools in China. They have been students with excellent grades since childhood. They have never done theft or robbery. Although now that have learned supernatural powers, it is easy to steal and rob by supernatural powers, but have passed the psychological level.

Yue Xingwen was also sure that the library would give them a very low grade if they were stealing to complete the exam.

When the Academy of Biological Sciences went to the supermarket to find food, it was because the city had collapsed, there were no living people, and the supermarket was looted. But the city’s social order still exists, with surveillance cameras in supermarkets and cashiers at the door…

Stealing is the last resort after all.

Thinking of this, Yue Xingwen said, "Buy today's food first, find a place as our base, and discuss how to make money and make a living in such a severely polluted world."

Standing in the supermarket and discussing the results, people who come and go always look at them with strange eyes.

Everyone nodded and praised: "Buy less supplies first and find a place to settle down."

Jiang Pingce collected the big points, exchanged half of them, and took 390 yuan to buy 12 masks and two boxes of compressed biscuits. Strangely, there is no mineral water in the supermarket.

Everyone settled the bill at the cashier and went out of Huaxiang Building.

For the biscuits, Zhuo Feng and Liu Zhaoqing each carried a box, and masks were distributed to each of them to wear.

With a mask to filter sand and dust, although the filtered air is still not as fresh as they breathe in reality, it still has a strange smell, but compared to just eating a mouthful of sand, the situation is too much now .

Jiang Pingce said, "Find a place to live first."

Yue Xingwen frowned and thought for a while: "With so many of us, it will be difficult to find the existing buildings. The reason why we can enter the Huaxiang Building just now is because there is a supermarket on the negative floor of this building, which can be freely entered and exited. Office buildings and residential areas should not be so easy to get in."

Zhang Xiaonian suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Do you mind living underground?"

Yue Xingwen looked back at him: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Xiaonian said seriously: "Did I learn the skills of digging holes in the School of Architecture? You can build underground fortresses, and the materials used are shock-proof walls, which are similar to air-raid shelters. Even if the city is bombed, we can still survive. Go down. It's just that the basement may be damp and cold, and I'm afraid I'm used to it."

Qin Miao took the lead and said: "I don't care. We are here to survive, and we are a tour group. It is enough to be alive, and the requirements are too high."

Lan Yarong said with a smile: "Basement, I think this idea is wrong. We hide underground. On the one hand, it is safer, and on the other hand, we also have a fixed place to live, and we have to work hard every day to find a place like a guerrilla."

Qin "Lu" also praised: "Having our own base camp is much more convenient than sneaking into the office building to sleep every night. If the office building is under surveillance, we can be invisible again. If so many people suddenly appear and are caught by surveillance cameras Instead, it will cause trouble.”

Seeing that he didn't have any opinion, Yue Xingwen said, "That's it, let's find a wasteland, Xiaonian is responsible for the construction, build an underground base, and live underground for the next 14 days."

Everyone came to the door of Huaxiang Building.

There is a big screen next to the street with a map of the city on it.

The city is big and surrounded by mountains. Jiang Pingce pointed to one of the mountains and said, "Qingxia Mountain is the closest to here. Going to the foot of the mountain to build a base will make it easier for us to come back and replenish supplies at any time."

Yue Xingwen said: "Qingxia Mountain is 3 kilometers away from here. After dark, there will be no one on the street. Qin Lu will open the plate and change positions. We will be there in seconds."

Zhang Xiaonian praised: "Well, I also think that we can compare the construction after dark, lest people in this world find us weird and arrest us as monsters."

Xu Yishen narrowed his eyes and glanced at the clock on the square, and said, "It's 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it's still an hour before it gets dark. What do we do next? Do we need to look around for news?"

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Let's move, we will meet here at 6 pm."

Everyone went in pairs and went around to find people on the road to inquire about news.

Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen walked side by side. When passing the corner, they saw two girls coming out of the clothing store with shopping bags. Yue Xingwen took a step forward and asked politely, "Where can I buy water?"

The girl looked up at them suspiciously. The two were tall and slender. Although the wind and sand blew their heads and faces, it still affected their appearance. The tall girl smiled and asked curiously, "Why do you guys wear headscarves?"

Yue Xingwen said: "We are from other places, and we know the situation here too well."

The girl nodded clearly and said, "Pure water can be purchased at the Water Resources Management Bureau in the central square. Each household is limited to 10 liters a week. You can queue up with your ID card to collect it. If you are out of town, take your ID card. Go buy it, you can buy bottled water."

Yue Xingwen then asked, "Is there no running water?"

The girl said: "Of course not. The tap water has been severely polluted. It must be treated by the Water Resources Administration before it can be drunk."

Jiang Pingce frowned and asked, "10 liters a week is enough for food, right? Do you usually take a bath?"

The girl looked at him in surprise: "What do you mean by taking a bath?"

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce: "..."

Another girl gently tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "These two people are weird, sister, let's hurry back."

The tall girl smiled apologetically and turned around with her sister.

Jiang Pingce's face was very stiff, and after a while, he whispered, "People in this world... take a shower?"

Yue Xingwen laughed and laughed: "The water resources are polluted, and it is difficult to ensure food and drink. How can there be water to bathe? Besides, in such weather, you can see it when you take a bath, right?"

Jiang Pingce turned to look at the backs of the two girls. They were wearing protective clothing, their hair was tightly wrapped in a headscarf, and their faces were large masks, with only one pair of eyes exposed.

Most of them dress up like this, which can indeed save the effort of washing face, makeup, and bathing.

In reality, Jiang Pingce is someone who takes a bath every day. It is hard for him to imagine that people in this world have never taken a bath. What kind of experience is that? Does it stink...

Forget it, it hurts to think about it.

Yue Xingwen noticed Ping Ce's ugly face, patted his shoulder with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, if you want to take a shower, I have a solution."

Jiang Pingce turned to look at him, and Yue Xing said, "I'll find out later, right."

The two returned to the square together, and the teammates quickly arrived.

Ke Shaobin inquired about diet-related information: "The daily food of residents in this city is mainly compressed biscuits and compressed bread. Occasionally, they use water to cook a pot of porridge and eat them with pickles. Fruits and fresh vegetables are bought by rich people. Affordable and rare items, it is very luxurious for ordinary people to buy a bunch of grapes or an apple during the festival."

Liu Zhaoqing said: "In this city alone, 10,000 people die every year because of diarrhea. The incidence of lung cancer is 10%, gastrointestinal cancer is as high as 20%, healthy people are rare, the birth rate of babies is extremely low, and the urban population is shrinking. reduce."

Lin Manluo said solemnly: "Even with the support of science and technology, living in such harsh conditions for a long time has shortened the average lifespan of human beings to 40 years old. Young people are willing to have offspring, and extinction is a matter of time."

Lan Yarong said: "I stopped someone to chat just now, and found that they are all in high spirits, living like corpses, and they usually don't have any entertainment activities."

The topic became heavy, and everyone's faces were a little ugly.

Da has never seen such a highly polluted environment, and the status quo of human beings in this extreme environment.

Not to mention basic food and nutrition, even water, you have to queue up to get it with your ID card, a court is 10 liters a week, what is enough? I'm afraid it's only enough for daily drinking, and an occasional meal of rice porridge, right?

Yue Xingwen took a deep breath and said, "Let's build our base first."

It was already dark and there were no street lights on the street, probably to save electricity. Jiang Pingce instructed Qin "Lu" to move according to the position in his memory. Qin "Lu" took out the globe and transposed the continuous plates, and soon came to the foot of the mountain.

It is desolate and uninhabited, and the environment is as bad as that of a city. The whole mountain is bare and there is a trace of green plants.

Xin Yan used alcohol lamps to illuminate, and Zhang Xiaonian summoned the excavator to start work.

At the beginning, due to the large number of displacement skills in the team, Sister Manluo's vines can also be used to build bridges. Therefore, Zhang Xiaonian did not learn the skills of "bridge construction", but learned "underground construction", but it came in handy today.

The "underground fortress" skills of the School of Architecture are very powerful. Within 10 minutes, Zhang Xiaonian dug out a huge pit of about 200 square meters. Anti-vibration walls were built on the top, bottom, left and right sides of the pit, and there were also similar patterns. 6 double bedrooms, living and dining rooms, and two bathrooms were built.

Everyone came to the basement. There were no windows, and there was no light underground. Xin Yan left a lot of alcohol lamps in the room as lighting equipment.

Zhuo Feng smiled and said, "Xiao Nian Ke, this underground dormitory is quite spacious!"

Zhang Xiaonian was very happy to be praised and said, "I asked for money against the land, so I made it a little bigger."

Liu Zhaoqing said, "The underground 'tide' is damp and cold, so let's help, let's make some quilts ourselves."

The four girls turned their heads to look at him: "You should want to use gauze as a quilt, right?"

Liu Zhaoqing laughed and said: "I have infinite gauze and surgical sutures, but I can make a bed and a quilt! This is the first time you cover a quilt made of gauze? Get rid of all the acne and scars on your body."

Girls: "..."

We all want to have such a "beauty quilt"!

Yue Xingwen followed up: "My rainstorm skill is like a lot of attention. After upgrading, it can summon a large rainstorm of 30 meters x 30 meters. The cooling time is 1 hour. Later, I will call the rainstorm directly at the position of the two bathrooms, you guys. Let’s make do with one room for boys and one for girls, make it a public bathhouse, and take a shower with rainwater.”

Yue Xingwen continued: "The rain is too cold, but my rain can be mixed with other professional skills. Xin Yan integrated the alcohol lamp into the clouds, heating and raining, so we can take a hot bath."

When he said this, he looked towards Jiang Pingce. Jiang Pingce raised his lips slightly and gave Yue Xingwen a thumbs up.

Everyone: "???"

The base is built underground, the gauze is used as a quilt, and the rainwater is used for bathing.

Just know that the style of their 183 research group has never been seen often!
