After the Earthquake of Rebirth

At four o'clock in the evening, Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng were squatting in the living room watering the sprouted lettuce.

It has been ten days since I returned from moving the soil last time. Now except for the bedroom and bathroom, all places including the living room are covered with a thick layer of soil by the two of them, and lettuce with a short growth cycle is planted.

If there is no accident, before the government leads the citizens to move to Cangyun Mountain, this batch of lettuce can be harvested a lot, even if it is not enough to eat, it can still be pickled.

As soon as the water was poured, there was a commotion downstairs.Ning Qiyan walked to the window and looked down. There seemed to be a conflict between two groups of people at the gate of the community.

Ning Qiyan withdrew his gaze, frowned and pulled Du Cheng into the space.

"This is the first wave." Ning Qiyan said while taking off his clothes.

Du Cheng didn't answer, and poured a bucket of cool water from the well into the basin.

Ning Qiyan wiped the sweat off his body with a towel dipped in cold water, and the cool feeling after wiping made him sigh comfortably.

"It's more than 30 degrees outside, and there are people fighting on such a hot day, and they don't think it's too hot."

"It's because of the hot weather. We're alright here. Even if there is a garrison to control the resettlement site, it's messed up." Du Cheng said, pouring water into the vegetable field.

Ning Qiyan brought out a bowl of chilled cherries, and sat in the yard with Du Cheng and began to eat.

"Look at it, it's going to be a mess."

As Ning Qiyan said, after another five days, City D began to be in chaos.

Starting from the resettlement point of the stadium, several groups of forces started to riot at the same time as if they had made an appointment, rushing into the warehouse where the food was temporarily stored.

The army was unable to react in time, and the entire warehouse was robbed of supplies, followed by riots at the resettlement sites of the Ecological Park and Longshan Park a day later.

And because the resettlement site in the University City was the first to restore power, all the families of children, elderly people, pregnant women, and wounded who were still staying in the resettlement site in the city were relocated there.Because the proportion of vulnerable groups is very large, there are sufficient guards to suppress the riots before they happen. Compared with the other three places, order can still be maintained.

Because the riot was sudden and spread widely, most of the participants were ordinary people.Maybe it was the grief accumulated by the death of a close relative during the earthquake, maybe it was the rumored doomsday theory, maybe it was the loss of their homeland, and the sudden return to the era of big pots of rice and relief food, which made the survivors feel at a loss. resulted in the present situation.

Faced with such a crowd, even soldiers with guns in their hands can hardly draw their guns.

The fall of the three resettlement sites forced the government to gather its troops, guard the supplies in the dark, and escort the asylum-seeking citizens to retreat to the Northeast District, centered on the University City, heavily guarded.

Although the chaotic and rioting crowd occupied the other three districts except the Northeast District, the sticks and knives in their hands were difficult to fight against guns and ammunition. Only because it was difficult for the army to attack a large number of people, it formed a university town maintained by the government. A deformed situation of confrontation.

"One thousand catties of rice, the lease period is two years." The non-commissioned officer in military uniform stamped the two signed contracts with the seals of the military region and the government, and then handed one of them to Ning Qiyan.

Ning Qiyan accepted the contract and nodded to the sergeant.Then he watched the leading non-commissioned officer and the soldiers behind him carry the rice bags in the corridor and go downstairs.

The chaos in the other three districts didn't matter much to him and Du Cheng. Taking advantage of the government's renting out unowned houses, the two decided to rent the house next door.

Now even the government does not accept the transaction of banknotes, want to rent a house?Yes, take food rent.

The house next door was not as big as their own, with two bedrooms and two halls, one hundred square meters, and a year's rent of five hundred catties of rice.Because they picked up a lot of food before, the two rented it for two years at a stretch, and the remaining food was enough for the two of them until it expired.

"Next, it's time to study how to press the door." Ning Qiyan said looking at the empty corridor.

Du Cheng leaned against the door, thought for a while, "Let's hire someone."

Although his hands-on ability is not weak, but building walls and installing gates is not something he can solve by himself.

Ning Qiyan nodded.

Nowadays, as long as food can be produced, the government will arrange professionals to come and do it, which saves worry and effort at a low cost.

"Let's go, let's go now, one more door is more at ease." Ning Qiyan put the contract in his hand into the space, closed the door and went downstairs with Du Cheng.

Now that the outside world is not peaceful, because of Du Cheng's accidental death before rebirth, Ning Qiyan can't wait to become conjoined twins with Du Cheng, stay together no matter where they go, and if there is an accident, he can directly drag Du Cheng into the space.

Although Du Cheng was not clear about Ning Qiyan's worries, he was very satisfied with the current state of the two being together 24 hours a day.

I went to the consultation office set up by the government outside the University City, submitted an application for installing a door in the corridor, paid two catties of rice as a deposit, made an appointment, and waited for someone to install it.

After registering, Ning Qiyan thought about it, and then asked about the situation in the prison.

Although the area where the prison is located is also in chaos, due to the special nature of the prison, the government has sent troops to guard the prison, and the food and materials consumed by the prison are escorted by heavy troops every once in a while.Moreover, the sentences of prisoners are almost always adjusted, and the sentences are generally shortened. If a friend or relative is serving a sentence in prison, the people in the consultation office can help obtain the time of the new sentence for free.But it will take a while to get the news.

After Ning Qiyan thanked him, he asked someone to write down Huzi's name and come back to hear the result in a few days.

After returning home, the two entered the space again.Ning Qiyan has already adapted to life after the earthquake, even though he has more space now, he still has a lot of free time.

No work, no study, no TV and Internet, except for the daily routine of taking care of vegetable fields and poultry, the two of them either tease cats and dogs, or pass the time with a book.

Three days later, after the corridor gate was installed, the two of them went downstairs at night and brought up a lot of soil.

The newly rented house is completely clean water, and the empty one is convenient for two people to spread soil and grow vegetables.

After sowing the vegetable seeds, and halfway through the watering, I heard the knock on the newly opened door.

Ning Qiyan patted the dirt on his hands and went out to open the door.

Outside the door was the non-commissioned officer who signed the rental contract with him before.

Looking at Ning Qiyan's dirty hands, the young sergeant grinned.

"Need a solar generator?"

Ning Qiyan was stunned.

"A high-power solar generator, one set of three hundred catties of rice or flour. It can support household appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and induction cookers."

Following the other party's introduction, Ning Qiyan laughed.

It seems that the other party came to sell it because he saw how happy he was with a thousand catties of rice.However, it is also good to buy a generator that has passed the Ming road and use it at home.Compared with the price of [-] yuan before the earthquake, [-] catties of rice can be said to be picked up for nothing.

Seeing Ning Qiyan smile, the young sergeant scratched his head in embarrassment.

He really felt that the family was not short of food, so after the higher-ups counted the generators collected from the warehouse and asked them to find a way to replace them with food, he came directly.I came here twice before, but the door of the corridor has not been pressed, and no one came out after knocking on the door for a long time. It is estimated that the two of them went out, and this time it can be regarded as a meeting.

"Three hundred catties of white flour. I'll be at home all day today. You can get someone to install it." Ning Qiyan stopped laughing and said when he saw that the other party's face was blushing from his smile.

The young non-commissioned officer's eyes lit up, "Wait a minute, you'll be there in half an hour." After speaking, he hurriedly turned and went downstairs.

Seeing people leave, Ning Qiyan let go of his smile and sighed.

"The government has started collecting food."

Du Cheng didn't say anything, but he understood what Ning Qiyan meant.

I am afraid that the higher-ups received the news, had a sign, and knew that the world was going to be bad, so they started to exchange food from the people.After all, the relief food is still being distributed every day. Even if the relief food in the chaotic area is cut off, the food in the hands of the government is also decreasing.If the world is difficult for too long, no amount of food will be enough!
