Rebirth of natural disasters at the end of the world

Chapter 119 The end of the world under high temperature

After Yang Xiaojuan stayed in the hospital for a week, Li Changqing was sent to a nursing center for confinement. The environment in the team was complicated. He was afraid of disturbing Yang Xiaojuan and his two children, so he negotiated with Qiu Qiu and wanted to take his wife and children there. Rest for a while and then return to the team.

Qiu Qiu agreed immediately. Anyway, no one was in confinement confinement room yet. Those who were pregnant were still more than half a year away from giving birth. They could still warm up the atmosphere when they came.

"Uncle Li, let Sister Juan and Baobao stay here for a while before going back. Although the team room is large, it is more spacious and relatively quiet! An Ning, Dudu can live with you here for the time being! Just think of it as helping us look after the house!"

Li Changqing grinned and said, "Okay! Now that you've said that, I won't be polite!"

Yang Xiaojuan, who was resting on the bed, also quickly thanked her, "Qiu Qiu, Xiao Han, thank you!"

"Why are you so polite?" Qiu Qiu stood up, looked at the couple with Xiao Han and said with a smile, "Then you rest, Brother Han and I will go back and bring you some food, and then we'll open fire alone in the kitchen below!"

"Thank you two brothers!"

An Ning glanced at Dudu, who was standing with Tang Yuan, and spoke with some embarrassment to discuss with Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han, "Brother, can Dudu and I live in the next room, so that it will be more convenient when our parents call us?" ?”

"Of course!" Xiao Han and Qiu Qiu looked at each other and smiled, then looked at him, "You and Dudu go back with us, pack some change of clothes, and then come back!"

"Yeah!" An Ning and Dudu nodded happily, and then followed the two back to the team. Everyone heard that they wanted Yang Xiaojuan to confine there, and they all agreed, and then they helped catch chickens, ducks and geese from the team. 5, 60 eggs, 20 duck eggs, 20 goose eggs, as well as various vegetables, fruits and milk powder, all packed up and put on the car.

Qiu Qiu took the spicy rabbit meat that Sister-in-law Jin made for An Ning Dudu and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Jin, please call Qin Chuan later. Cao He and the others helped to catch some chickens, ducks and geese and cooked them for the children in the team. Satisfy your craving!"

"Hey!" Sister-in-law Jin was touched by his attentiveness. She sent supplies to Yang Xiaojuan without leaving the children in the team behind. They were so lucky to follow such a good person.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law will make spicy chicken for you tonight, as well as your favorite sour radish and duck soup with glutinous rice balls!"

"Okay! Thank you sister-in-law, let's go first!"

"Thank you Aunt Kim!"

"You're welcome! Tangyuan, bye Dudu!"

Sister-in-law Jin smiled and said goodbye to the glutinous rice balls. Xiao Han nodded to her, and then he and Qiu Qiu each hugged one and got into the car. At this time, An Ning was coming out with a large bag of change of clothes. Sister-in-law Jin quickly helped to get it. After getting in the car, several people said goodbye to her again. When they saw her returning to the house, An Ning smiled and started shouting.

"Brother, let's go!"

"Okay! Sit still!"

Xiao Han smiled and looked at them in the rearview mirror, then started the engine and drove away from Qiu Han's team.

----

Extremely high temperatures last for several months. Except for the carefully maintained animals and plants in the safety zone, it is basically difficult to survive elsewhere. However, things like cockroaches, bed bugs, mosquitoes and flies multiply rapidly, causing a lot of trouble to the residents in the safety zone.

Walking on the road, if you take a quick glance, you will find that the corners of the roadside, the drainage ditches, and the cracks in the ground are all densely packed with shiny black cockroaches and bed bugs, which make your scalp numb and throat. itch.

There are also these disgusting pests crawling on the walls, wardrobes, bed boards, stoves and other places of each house. When cooking, someone must be there to help and pay attention, and they are not allowed to cook with the lid on. Cook, otherwise, when the cooking heat rushes upward, the cockroaches and bed bugs on the ceiling will fall into the pot in an instant, and the amount can be shoveled out to fill a plate.

Recently, the safety zone clinic has also received patients whose ears were burrowed by cockroaches and bedbugs, causing damage to their eardrums, bites on their nasal cavities, and inflammation and infection.

Nowadays, the whole district is carrying out pest control operations, and various protective measures are also promoted on the radio every day, but sometimes it is really impossible to prevent them.

Especially when sleeping, people will plug their ears with earplugs or cotton strips to prevent these pests from getting in.

But everyone cannot guarantee that they can stay energetic and focused 24 hours a day, especially after a day's work. Many people are so tired that they almost fall asleep. At this time, it is the time when pests are causing trouble, so , no matter what, if the root cause is not solved, the harm of these pests will never be eliminated.

Fortunately, the toilets and fertilization ponds in the safe area are a certain distance away from the residence. Due to the hot sun and the strong smell of feces, all the flies are attracted there. There are no large numbers of flies in places where people gather, which reduces the growth of some bacteria. .

However, the work difficulty of sanitation workers and excrement workers has greatly increased. They have to wear sealed protective clothing every day and do cleaning work in hot weather.

The clothes felt uncomfortable. Every time they took off their clothes, the staff felt like they were fished out of water. They were all wet, and their skin was wrinkled and swollen.

Moreover, these protective suits are disposable and cannot be used because they will be covered with fly eggs. They must ask others to help them take them off and then burn them centrally.

Two staff members collapsed in the manure tank due to heatstroke due to long working hours and excessive exposure to the sun. When they were found, they were not breathing, their skin was soaked green, and their bodies were covered with maggots and eggs-laying eggs. Blow fly.

The soldiers who went to save the people just walked over, and instantly stirred up a dense swarm of flies, hovering over the corpses, making an annoying buzzing sound. When everyone saw the two corpses, they vomited out the jaundice water on the spot.

With so many things going on, the official pressure doubled. Fortunately, it wasn't long before the safety zone successfully prepared powerful insecticide tablets that could effectively kill adult insects and eggs without leaving any harm behind.

As long as the tablets are ignited in a closed space, the tablets will release thick white smoke. In less than 10 minutes, all pests in the room will be killed. After the white smoke burns out for an hour, open the doors and windows for 30 minutes to ventilate, and then you can enter. House activities will not cause any harm to the human body.

This tablet is also miraculous in killing insects outdoors, but the dosage must be increased several times. After experiments, for the same area, only one tablet is needed indoors, but four tablets are needed outdoors to achieve the same effect, assuming there is no wind. , this is not difficult, because the safe zone has not seen a gust of wind for ten and a half days.

Pests have been plaguing the base for a long time. Now that the pills have been developed, officials directly ordered the insecticide operation to be carried out in two batches.

The first batch starts from the Ministry of Water Resources, farms, and breeding farms to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, the Ministry of Security, the Qiuhan Team, primary and secondary schools, government canteens, district hospitals, research institutes, and cold storage.

Because the things included in these places are relatively complicated, they are carried out first. The official asked everyone to stop all activities, cover and compact food in sealed bags or basins to ensure that insects cannot get in, and then open the door. Go to the dock and stay there by yourself, while the livestock are all caught up with a few giant ships and are temporarily locked up.

After that, army soldiers quickly entered various places, lit pills in each room, and sealed the doors and windows.

Then, he went to various drainage channels, composting ponds, toilets and other places, ordered the corresponding number of pills, and then retreated to the dock.

Until the medicine is fully effective and the smoke outside has dissipated, the soldier enters the safe area again, helps open the doors and windows, and lets the announcement tell everyone to go home.

However, considering that the pests had not yet been cleared away, and fearing that the livestock would be poisoned by eating insecticides or grass, they were not brought back to the area immediately, but were kept on the boat for a few days.

Afterwards, officials notified everyone in residences, dormitories, factories, warehouses and other places to follow the instructions and wait at the dock until the soldiers completed the pest control work and notified everyone, then everyone went back and started cleaning.

All the dead insects and eggs cleaned up from various places were packed in bags and carried to the incineration pool at the pier, where they were burned together. Only then was the pest control work completely completed.

Three days later, experts determined that there were no major problems, and everyone dared to drive the livestock back home on the giant ship. The pest problem that had plagued the residents for more than two months was finally resolved.

However, the drought and high temperatures continued. At this time, the outdoor temperature was above 55 degrees Celsius all day long, and the sewage level dropped by as much as 40 meters.

At this time, 70.00% of the land within a radius of hundreds of miles outside the safe zone finally saw the light of day. As the scorching sun burned, cracks three fingers wide opened.

And the various buildings, vehicles, trees, and even the skeletons of humans and animals that were once submerged in the sewage are now in the present, densely packed and quietly scattered everywhere. At a glance, it is like walking into a purgatory on earth. , making people fearful.

However, the good news is that the red filarial worms that once lived in sewage and caused huge damage to the human body were finally roasted by high temperatures and died in large areas. In the end, the corpses became brittle and gradually turned into dust, scattered around the world.

The scope of human activities has expanded, but the living environment has become even worse. Due to extreme daylight and scorching sun exposure, humans have lived under strong light and high temperatures for a long time, and gradually developed vision loss problems, and some of them have suffered from serious diseases. Skin diseases and even skin cancer.

But these are just the tip of the iceberg. Extreme daytime temperatures have reached more than August. The source of water in the safety zone comes from purified sewage. When the official selected this place as a safety zone, they drilled 20 deep wells. However, a major disaster occurred later. Earthquakes, crustal changes, and global water levels are declining rapidly, and groundwater sources are also affected.

Now, although deep-water wells can still produce water, the amount of water produced by one well every day can only supply the daily life of a hundred people.

The water sources previously stored by the government were being consumed at an even faster rate. For the sake of long-term planning, after some discussions, the government lowered the daily water supply for residents again.

Currently, except for children under 5 years old and pregnant women, each person can receive 1000ml of water supply per day, and senior citizens over 65 years of age can receive 500ml of water supply per day. Everyone else can receive no more than 200ml of water supply per day.

As soon as this policy came out, there were a lot of complaints in the safety zone. Many people felt that the policy was too harsh. Either all living beings should be equal and receive the same amount, or the water supply for ordinary people would be the same as that of people over 65 years old.

Those who are narrow-minded and aggressive think that this regulation is unreasonable. The official arrangement is mainly to include leaders like them. After all, 80.00% of the people in power in their various departments are of this age.

But if they continue to object, the order has been issued and all departments will strictly implement it. Moreover, the official said that if they really don't want to, they can leave the safety zone and seek life outside, and the official can provide them with five days of daily necessities.

When these people saw the official attitude, they knew that their opposition would not change the outcome, so they had no choice but to suppress their anger and compromise temporarily.

But as time went by, the water shortage became more and more serious. Some people couldn't bear the thirst, so they went to the Ministry of Water Resources to steal water and poison it. Fortunately, they were discovered in time and stopped the incident. Tragedy occurs, otherwise, many people in the safety zone will die as a result.

For those who stole water, the safe zone only sent them and their families to farm in the barren mountains. But those who poisoned the water were shot dead by Mr. Fu's direct order. Their families were all kicked out of the safe zone. Everyone watched their misery from a distance. Howling, he was forcibly pulled into a car and taken away from the safe area. His face showed neither sadness nor joy, and his mood gradually became numb.

We no longer see the families of criminals, especially children and women, being implicated and punished as we did in the past, and we sympathize with them for this.

Instead, he felt that this was the ending that those people should have. Qiu Qiu felt that the residents in the area seemed to have completely mastered the rules of survival in the apocalypse, but it seemed that they did not.

The disaster has a great impact on the residents living in the Tibetan safety zone. More and more people are dying due to the high temperature, but compared to the survivors living in various places outside the zone, they are already living in paradise.

The sewage gradually dried up, and the space for human activities was no longer restricted. Many people began to leave their original places together and embarked on the road to find survival supplies. However, as time went by, the survivors became more and more desperate, and the bacteria in the sewage lasted for a long time. Due to erosion, coupled with the high temperature behind, all the materials left on the surface turned into dust. They could not find anything to eat or drink. Gradually, some people died of hunger or thirst on the road, and finally became partners. their rations.

At this time, those evil thoughts buried deep in the heart were involved again, and killing, robbery, and betrayal were once again staged among humans!

Everything, after all, has only one purpose, "Live, live!"

Qiu Qiu is the person who best understands the rules of survival in the apocalypse, so when everyone is worried about food, clothing and water, he has already thought further. Therefore, he and Xiao Han found Mr. Fu and others and had a secret conversation for three hours.

When several old people knew that he was going to take people to do that extremely dangerous thing, they were all shocked on the spot.

"You, what did you say? Are you going to blow up that place?"

"Correct!"

Mr. Fu shook his head and asked, "How do you get there? How do you explode? Stop kidding me, kid!?"

"I'm serious!" Qiu Qiu said solemnly, "You only need to provide me with relevant weapons and people, and meet us at the place I designate. Leave everything else to Brother Han and me!"

Mr. Fu put away his smile and looked at him and Xiao Han seriously for a moment. Seeing that they were really not joking, he said in a deep voice, "Can you tell me why you want to do this? Besides, don't you think this is a fantasy?" Really? How did you escape the defense and surveillance and get close to those heavily guarded places?"

Qiu Qiu looked at him seriously and said seriously, "I will never exaggerate when I say I can do it. Ever since I entered the safe zone, what thing have you always noticed that I haven't been able to do?

As for why?I think everyone present must not have forgotten it!Back then, people like Jack could travel across the ocean to rob and harm our citizens, and they can still do so in the future.

The previous sewage limited their movement and destructive power, but after the water surface recedes, the advanced equipment left on the surface will become available. As long as there are some that can be used or can be repaired, they will definitely come back with it!We cannot withstand such devastation!In this case, let’s strike first! "

Mr. Fu frowned and looked at the others, "Brothers, what do you think?"

Mr. Lin and Mr. Wen frowned in thought and were speechless for a moment. Xiao Han said seriously, "Everyone, now is not the time to talk about martial ethics in peacetime.

Besides, counting up, how badly have we been bullied by these Western powers?Haven't you ever thought about revenge?In peacetime, we wouldn't have had this chance, would we?Remember when the Eight Kingdoms invaded..."

"We agreed!" Several old people originally wanted to consider it, but when they heard that Xiao Han mentioned the invasion of the Eight Kingdoms, they immediately became furious and agreed without thinking.

"readily!"

Qiu Qiu raised his eyebrows at Xiao Han, then smiled at the big bosses, and discussed with them the next preparations. Three days later, two armed helicopters secretly carried Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han to Province H.

Within two days, three convoys consisting of hundreds of military trucks also pulled supplies and set off from the safe zone in different directions to start searching for survivors and new water sources.
