I survived with my sister in the doomsday

Although everyone was lying down, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep because I was hungry. My stomach was reminding me to eat. With my weight, I usually eat at least two bowls of rice, a plate of meat, and other vegetables at night, and I would usually order a takeout snack in the middle of the night. However, today, not only did I run to the supermarket ruins several times at noon, but I also walked for half a day in the afternoon to get to this base. I was very exhausted. During the day, I stuffed a lot of Snickers and chocolates, lollipops, fruit candies, and two packs of flattened bread into my backpack under the guise of going to the supermarket ruins. I ate them all in the afternoon. The most left were cigarettes, which I thought were relatively expensive. None of my family smokes, and there were still more than a dozen boxes. The rest were some tissues and common medicines for grandpa.

Along the way, I almost finished all the Snickers in my backpack to replenish my energy, and I also shared the Dove chocolates with my sisters. Now there are only a few food items left in this backpack. How can I avoid my sisters' sight and get something to eat?

I closed my eyes and saw the entire supermarket exit area in my mind - there were only two packs of sanitary napkins on the shelf that I took out, leaving a gap. This shows that the things in this space are not infinitely extractable. I walked around this space several times before I realized there was a backpack on my boss chair that was the same as the one I was holding in my hand.

After thinking about it, it makes sense. Since this area is mine, I usually put my backpack here, so of course there will be another backpack in the space! I quickly looked through the space, and sure enough, there were my grandpa's usual medicines and my ID card and bank card... This discovery is really great. I took my grandpa's medicine out of the backpack, so that my grandpa will not be out of medicine in the next few days. I guess the government will think of the needs of some special groups and come to resupply them in a few days.

I spend every day in the supermarket, and I know how many things are on the shelves at my exit. I secretly took out half a box of Snickers and put it in my backpack. Then, thinking that my little sister might need sanitary napkins, I took out two packs of sanitary napkins for day and night use and said I put them in by mistake.

Since Feicui hated talking to me, she slept on the other side of the nylon cloth. Of course, I also took a side and lay down. Next to me was my grandfather, my little sister slept in the middle, and then Yuanyuan and Feicui. Seeing that they were already fast asleep, I turned sideways and secretly took out two Snickers and started to eat them. Snickers is a high-calorie food with caramel, peanuts, nuts and chocolate, which can quickly replenish physical strength, but I really don’t like sweets. I got tired of it after eating two.

The next morning, volunteers reminded us that the base had restored its circulating water system and everyone could go to the bathroom to wash up. Then, in order to facilitate management, most of the victims were divided into several areas. There were special leaders to manage them and volunteers to help distribute food. This morning, everyone received two sausages, two bottles of mineral water and a bag of bread. It was said that there was a bakery here so there was still a lot of bread in stock.

But bread is a sweet food after all, and it’s not good for grandpa to eat it all the time because of his high blood sugar. I remembered the instant noodles, secretly took out a box of instant noodles from the space and put it in my backpack, and went forward to ask the little volunteers if there was a place to get hot water?

The volunteers told me that a water heater was indeed moved near the supervision lounge in the morning, but there were too many people queuing, so you can go and check it out yourself.

I took out a box of instant noodles and prepared to get some water, when I saw that the line was even longer than the number of people vying for train tickets during the Spring Festival travel rush. By the time I got to the line, it would probably be noon.

Just when I was thinking about whether I should go back first, I ran into the clerk named Chen Qiang from last night. He recognized me at a glance, greeted me and asked me what I was doing.

I told him truthfully that the elderly man at home had high blood sugar and I wanted to give him instant noodles, but there were too many people waiting to get hot water.

When he heard about my difficulties, he asked me to follow him. I immediately followed him and came to one of the few rooms on the side of the hall. After entering the room, I saw that it was not very big and there were several folding beds placed against the wall. On the other side of the room were several desks pushed together. This room may have been a workshop in a factory before, but now it has become a temporary lounge. He walked straight to a table, picked up the thermos on the table, which was indeed a thermos that few people use nowadays. He made noodles for me, then took out a box of canned food and gave it to me, saying it was the compensation he promised to give me last night.

He was so nice that I was embarrassed to accept the gift. Suddenly I remembered the cigarettes in my backpack, so I quickly took out two boxes of Great Hall of the People cigarettes and handed them to him with a smile. He refused, but I stuffed them into his hands and said that I didn't smoke either and these were just from the supermarket back home. After I refused several times, he accepted the gifts because he saw that I was sincere in giving them to him. It's true that reciprocity is essential to social interactions.

After giving me the cigarettes, he was obviously closer to me, and then he started chatting with me about family matters. When he learned that there were four or five people in our family, young and old, he advised me to be a volunteer and work under him. He also said that he felt that my calm personality was compatible with his temper yesterday.

I replied that I was afraid that was not possible because my grandfather had difficulty walking and I had to take care of him all the time. One of my younger sisters was young and I was afraid she would get lost, and the other was always causing trouble. They were not easy to manage, and the environment was too chaotic now and I couldn't be apart.

Chen Qiang suddenly asked me, "Did you bring money with you when the earthquake occurred?"

I was stunned. Is there a place to spend money here?

Chen Qiang laughed and replied, "Of course, everyone needs money. Do you know what the second floor of this factory looks like?" I shook my head. "How would I know?"

He said that the beds on the floor in the lobby on the first floor were temporary accommodation for the victims who were caught off guard and had nothing with them. The second floor was full of cubicles, and one could live there for just 10,000 yuan. There was also a supermarket on the second floor where one could buy some daily necessities. Of course, prices are much higher now, and they only accept cash.

It suddenly dawned on me that having money can be used to differentiate people wherever they are. I calculated that there were 8,000 yuan in my bag, plus 8,000 yuan in the cash register in my space, so I could get together the 10,000 yuan. That's great! Living in a cubicle will be much more comfortable.

I'll go find someone to arrange for check-in soon!

Suddenly I thought of the communication issue again, and asked Brother Chen what was going on with the communication network?

He frowned and sighed, saying: He also heard that this earthquake is not an ordinary earthquake. The previous earthquakes were caused by the movement of the earth's crust due to the movement of the plates, so it only involved the vibration of a certain area, but it is said that this time it is not ordinary. All areas on the earth have formed vibrations, but the amplitude of vibrations caused by different magnetic fields in some places is also different. Our city is not the most severely shaken area. I heard that the most severely shaken area is not an exaggeration to describe it as the collapse of the sky and the crack of the earth! There are cities with millions of casualties.

I couldn't help but sigh, "Really!" I heard this morning that the earthquake in our city yesterday was more than 8 degrees. How many degrees can a city reach when it collapses and cracks? 9 or 10 degrees, which would cause many disasters: such as landslides, mudslides, tsunamis... Then would the island country be completely submerged by the tsunami?

Brother Chen said that the collapse of the signal tower caused by the earthquake was a minor matter. If the magnetic field changed, information might no longer be communicated. For example, a radio is a device that relies on magnetic field induction to convert electromagnetic waves into audible signals. The current magnetic field is very chaotic and it might be impossible to restore the previous signal network for a while.
