I survived with my sister in the doomsday

I was afraid of being exposed, so I brought back the beer and drinks I saw on sale at the supply and marketing cooperative. But I also took out a bottle of Wuliangye worth more than 500 yuan from my space for everyone to drink, and told them that I brought it from home. I don't drink white wine. Lin Lin accompanied Brother Chen and Grandpa to share a glass each. The two sisters drank Rio cocktails, and Xiaobai and I drank cold beer that had been chilled in his refrigerator for an afternoon. Chen Si and Chen Zhen bought them drinks.

Everyone gathered together to toast each other and have a great time.

We started chatting while eating, and Xiaobai asked Brother Chen if the current road leads to Lao Qingshan?

Brother Chen said that since the earthquake, the troops have been cooperating with the Municipal Engineering Department to open up roads. It is said that it took the past two days to open up the roads between several bases. I am afraid that there is no time to expand to the outskirts of the city and the connection between the suburbs and cities. Lao Qingshan is the junction of the two cities, and he estimates that it is not accessible. However, he comforted Xiaobai not to worry, because everything depends on the smooth flow of roads to contact the central government to request support, and the Zheng government departments will work hard to do it.

Brother Chen also said that it has been fifteen days since the earthquake, and the search and rescue work is nearing its end. Because the earthquake caused particularly severe damage, most of the collapsed buildings cannot be rescued with our current capabilities. It is estimated that the citizens who were not rescued have basically no chance of survival. Today, someone counted that our city, which used to have a population of one million, may have less than 300,000 people left after the disaster! The next step is for the government to carry out collective disinfection of the entire city to prevent a major epidemic after a major disaster. Aircraft may be used to drop disinfectants. He advised us not to go out during this period.

I also asked Brother Chen if he knew anyone from the Exploration Bureau. Brother Chen replied that the people from the original bureau should now be at the main base in the villa complex in the middle of the mountain. The magnitude of the earthquake there was not strong and many buildings were not destroyed. We could go there to ask.

Brother Chen also said that the main banks in the city have basically been cleared out in the past few days. Now if you have a passbook, you can go to the Zheng government department to exchange it for RMB, but the network is not connected and the bank card cannot be read. This can alleviate the financial pressure on some people, but after all, it is a disaster and the exchange amount may be reduced proportionally.

After finishing the meal and seeing Brother Chen off, Xiaobai and I discussed that either you stay at home for a few days, and I will take Feicui to the Mid-Mountain Base to inquire about my mother's whereabouts. Xiaobai looked at his injured leg and had no choice but to agree to my suggestion.

Lin Lin wanted to go with us, but I thought that almost all of the people in the middle of the mountain were rich, and if I could make a living selling cigarettes there, I could make a lot of money. If Lin Lin was with me, it would be difficult to use my space items. I also thought that my grandpa had such a large space, so I should take him with me this time. If I could pick up something on the way, I could just put it on him. Wouldn't that be better? But if I took Jade, my grandpa couldn't leave my little sister Zhenzhu behind, so the four of us would go together.

Lin Lin still wanted to follow and serve his boss. After I told Feicui about my idea, Feicui ordered him to wait for us at home. He had no choice but to give up. Before we left, he grabbed a bunch of food for us to take with us on the road.

We set off early the next morning. Our city has a small population but a large area. A round trip of 100 kilometers is expected to take two days at most. After saying goodbye to Lin Lin and Xiao Bai, we drove away from Shengbin Base.

We were originally in a very happy mood to travel with my grandpa and sisters, it felt like a spring outing. However, when we got out, we saw that the scenes on both sides of the city roads were very miserable and desolate. The originally prosperous city became devastated in just half a month. Only traces of repairs on the main road could be seen, and the buildings next to it were piled on both sides of the road like a pile of garbage.

We were not the only car on the road, there were also other vehicles passing by, which created an illusion that we were not alone.

I was driving and Feicui was in the passenger seat. I was familiar with this road. We slowly approached the main road of the city. The streets that were once bustling were now empty. Only the wind blew, stirring up dust. We drove for another half an hour and were close to the downtown area around the city. Suddenly, we saw a large group of people gathered in a large open space in front of us, and many vehicles were parked outside the group.

Feicui was very curious and wanted to go over to take a look, so she ordered me: Lao Huo, drive over and take a look!

I advised: Don’t get involved in everything. Our mother told you not to go to crowded places!

Suddenly, the grandpa in the back seat became interested and said: Xiaofei, let’s go over and take a look.

Since my grandfather had spoken, I could only go over and park my car next to everyone else, and ask them not to get out of the car while I went over to take a look and see what these people were doing here.

When I got closer, I found that it was a small market. In the past, people in the countryside called this "going to the big market"!

I felt there was no danger, so I went back to the car and called my grandparents and sisters to get out and take a look, and locked the car tightly.

This market was really lively. It was an open-air market that was rebuilt after the disaster and was about the size of a basketball court. There were many steel stands built around the market. Behind each stand, there were people fiddling with their goods. There were all kinds of people, including those from the countryside and the city.

There were also many people who came empty-handed to ask about the price.

Of course, I was one of the people who asked around. I asked an old man who was displaying goods when this market started. The old man told me that this market gradually expanded to become like this. At first, some villagers who survived the natural disaster came here to exchange goods. Now the scale has grown. Many people from the surrounding Daxing Base, Tianmu Base, and even Banshan Base come here to exchange supplies or sell their own things.

If you put it that way, I understand that this place may be the central area of ​​several bases. It is really amazing that so many people come to exchange. Daxing Base is the vegetable greenhouse base we have been to before, where vegetables are produced. I am not very clear about how Tianmu Base is managed. By the way, I asked the old man, and the old man told me that Tianmu Base is mainly engaged in animal husbandry, breeding, raising cattle and sheep, and producing milk and beef and mutton. Of course, it is now under government control, but personal items belonging to ordinary people can also be sold. It is not illegal for people to exchange their own inventory for items, right?

There are also some residents from the Mid-Mountain Base here. Although they were not seriously affected by the disaster, some of them still came here to exchange things. Of course, the people from the Mid-Mountain Base are richer, and what the people from the Mid-Mountain Base took out are basically daily necessities, which are also the daily necessities that the people from the other two bases want to exchange.

I saw that the goods the old man was handling were cabbages, so I asked about the price. Ten yuan could buy a cabbage. But a cabbage could be exchanged for a bar of soap. That was basically the price. You could exchange goods or money.

It suddenly occurred to me that I could exchange my toilet paper for something else. I'll ask grandpa and my sisters to see if there's anything they like and we can exchange it for toilet paper. That's all the space I have right now anyway!

When grandpa saw someone selling chicks, he became interested and said that we could raise chickens in Xiaobai's yard when we go back, so we wouldn't have to buy eggs in the future.

I said okay, then let's exchange it for toilet paper. I pretended to go back to the car and take out a few bags of toilet paper and sanitary napkins from the trunk, but in fact I took out a few bags of toilet paper and sanitary napkins from the space and went to the uncle selling chicks and asked him if I could exchange them for a few chicks.

But he said he didn't want to change the toilet paper, he wanted to sell it for money!
