food crisis [end times]

Find two buckets, pour all the moldy food into it and put it outside first.After a brief wipe with a rag, Xiang Luo rinsed himself briefly and changed into clothes, then went to the Westinghouse where the sundries were kept to get vacuum-packed food, and began to prepare meals.

When Zhu Yan came out, he saw Xiang Luo squatting on the ground next to the stove, fiddling with a powerful alcohol pot to cook vegetables. There was an earthquake just now, and I don’t know if there will be another aftershock. It is not safe to use an earthen stove now.Fortunately, Xiang Luo's alcohol pot has good firepower.The stir-fried bacon with preserved vegetables is skillful and sophisticated.The scent permeated the air, making him salivate.

At this time, the aftershock came again, but this time he was calmer, and Xiang Luo put out the alcohol pot immediately.The man who supported the stove couldn't help but look towards the bathroom, his eyes just met Zhu Yan's.

After the aftershock ended, Zhu Yan looked at the meat in the pot.

Belly rumbling.

Xiang Luo smiled, turned around and lit the fire again, stir-fried the vegetables twice and put them on a plate: "It's ready to eat right away."

"How much have you prepared, I mean food." Zhu Yan was a little curious.

"A lot." Xiang Luo only thought of such an adjective, "I don't stock up too much, but it's enough for a few people to eat for ten or eight years. And it's all in small vacuum packages."

Xiang Luo would not naively store enough rations for a lifetime in one go. Compared with food reserves, it is more important to obtain food again.

Finding a way to obtain food in the last days is the most troublesome place.

"A pack of ten catties of vacuum rice in the online second-hand market has already been sold to more than 200 packs, and the offline price will only increase even more," Zhu Yan said.

Xiang Luo lightly brushed the pot and burned oil: "It will only get worse in the future."

"What do you think I should do?" Zhu Yan asked.

Xiang Luo said to Zhu Yan: "Hoard supplies as much as you can. If you can't get food, you can grab disinfection supplies. If you don't have disinfection supplies, you can grab daily necessities. If you don't have disinfection supplies, you can grab precious metals such as gold. It's best not to keep a penny of currency. .”

Xiang Luo's food was ready, Zhu Yan went back to the bedroom and took out his mobile phone to check the latest news, and then opened the website for getting goods.

As soon as the dishes here went abroad and were served on the coffee table in the bedroom, there was a knock on Xiang Luo's outer door.The gates of Xiang Luo's house were locked casually, and after a long time, the villagers got used to knocking on the door first when they came to Xiang Luo's house.

"Eat first." Xiang Luo put down his chopsticks and went out.

"Uncle Zhao?" Xiang Luo went out and opened the door, looking at the anxious face of the tanned middle-aged man, he asked a little strangely.

"I just said you were at home. I remember that you have a big hemp rope at your house. Do you still keep it?" Uncle Zhao asked urgently, rubbing his fingers.

"It does, but I haven't touched it for three years, so I don't know if it will be weathered." Xiang Luo said.

"Three to five years is not afraid, can we borrow it for our family? This is life-saving."

Seeing the seriousness of what he said, Xiang Luo quickly asked: "Please explain clearly first, is it about the earthquake?"

Uncle Zhao slapped his thigh anxiously: "What else can there be except this! Haven't you heard of it? There is a big crack in the two streets below the village, and several people fell in, and there are children in it. But we are here The bottom is full of sand, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to climb it up. I thought about finding someone to put a rope down and pull it up. But no one has a rope. These days, the corn stalks are smashed directly on the ground. Who still uses this bundle of firewood? If you want to go, you have your home."

Hearing this, Xiang Luo went back to the house and rummaged through the thick hemp rope: "You go first, I'll change my clothes and go take a look."

There is a sand layer underground in this village, and there are really cracks, and the soil on both sides of the cracks will only go down little by little.Anyway, it is a big event in the village, Xiang Luo must go and see.

After entering the house, let Zhu Yan and the two eat by themselves first, put on a coat and went out.

Walk down the alley for two streets, and there is a crack more than half a meter wide at your feet. Looking down, it is not deep, but looking to the right along the crack, the crack is getting bigger and bigger, and it stretches straight into the yard of the farmhouse.

After walking a few steps along the crack, I heard crying and screaming, and saw that most of the houses in the yard in front had collapsed into the crack.

There are only a few trees down outside the village, and there are only a few cracks in the old houses on the two streets above.

Here, Xiang Luo showed the cruelest side of nature.

There were sighs and regretful voices all around, and some of them wiped their tears softly.

"It's okay for those who fell in outside, but those who fell in with the house will be hanged. You said that Qian's son only got such a grandson when he was in his [-]s and [-]s. Isn't this fatal!"

Xiang Luocong squeezed into the middle of the crowd and saw the village chief and a few older men standing on the edge of the crack and yelling at the crowd: "Stand back! Back up! Don't let insignificant people get in! Don't fall in again! Be strong! I'm on top to help pull the rope."

While organizing the evacuation of the crowd, the people from the village committee sent people down the rope to have a look.

It was confirmed several times that there were a total of five people under the crack, two children, two of whom fell in when the house collapsed, the other two ran around during the earthquake, and fell in when the ground cracked.

A thin man was let down along the rope, and was pulled up after a while, only to find a fainted woman who was pulled up with the rope.The woman's family was sure that she was still alive, so they hugged her and wept bitterly. The village doctor came to check her up and arranged for a car to take her to the county hospital.After waiting for nearly an hour, the man went down two more times before finding another man, but the man fell very deep and was stuck in the crack.The man who rescued him didn't dare to go down, fearing that he would be stuck with the owner, and the man didn't respond after calling several times.And the other child disappeared completely, and it seemed that he had fallen into a deeper place.

As for the house whose house fell, the man who went down the crack only went over to take a look and didn't mention it again, and everyone else agreed very tacitly and didn't say anything more.

That house was left behind by a father and son.Surname Qian.The child's mother, grandparents and grandparents stood in the yard and looked down at the crack.The grandma cried so hard, the grandpa hugged his wife at a loss, and only the child's mother looked into the crack with dull eyes.Maybe he was thinking about something, maybe he was just in a daze.

"Impossible! It's impossible for my child to just disappear like this!" Grandpa put his wife down, stood by the crack and looked down.

Xiang Luo looked a little dazed, and the couple on the other side had already started fighting.

A man in his early thirties raised his fist at the woman: "I said I won't go to your house or your house! You have to come back! Why do you go back to your mother's house! You have to die every month to make your family feel better, right! You What kind of heart is there!"

The woman couldn't bear to show weakness, and reached out to grab the man's face: "If your mother didn't give Yueyue something delicious, could I bring her back! When have you seen the child! I'll let you take her to buy a snack. It just fell through the cracks! Why do you hit me! Why do you blame me!"

A pair of broken parents crazily piled responsibility on each other.The man felt that the child would not fall into the crack if he couldn't get through, but the woman said anxiously, and asked directly if the man pushed the child in by himself.

The man got angry and punched the woman a few times, and the woman hit the man's stomach with her head, and she was about to jump into the crack with the man and die together.

Seeing that there was going to be a fatal incident, people reacted belatedly and went to fight.

A few thunderclaps exploded in the sky, and in an instant, the gust of wind blew through the wind and sand, and the pouring rain fell from the sky, covering up this collapsed human farce.

Xiang Luo went home numb.

What is the catastrophe of extinction?

The scary thing is not this global earthquake.But it's just the beginning of all the desperation.

When I got home, the dishes on the dinner table didn't move at all.But the moment he entered the room in a state of embarrassment, Zhu Yan had already stuffed himself with a big mouthful of rice with his rice bowl.

Xiang Luo didn't know how the white rice could be chewed so deliciously, but he came home exhausted from outside and stepped into the house, and saw where Zhu Yan was eating in peace, there is nothing more reassuring than this in the world up.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yan raised his eyes, the mole under his eyes was particularly conspicuous in the dim light, there was no expression on his face, but his eyebrows made people unable to move his eyes away.

"There was a crack in the village because of the earthquake. Someone fell into it. Only one woman was rescued. The others don't know the situation yet."

An Wei stood up and poured a glass of water for Xiang Luo, took a towel and let Xiang Luo wipe it off, and said, "The Internet is down, and the TV has no signal. I can't make calls all the time. Before the disconnection, there were many videos on the Internet. And the photo, there is a piece of land in Shu Province that has completely sunk, and the people inside don’t know what happened. Before the TV had no signal, it was broadcast that several major volcanoes around the world had erupted, and it seemed that the volcanic ash would spread in a few days. Global."

After speaking, An Wei turned around and asked Zhu Yan: "Is volcanic ash very harmful?"

Zhu Yan glanced at Xiang Luo and said, "It's poisonous, but it depends on the concentration. Compared with the poisonous gas, what is more serious is the large drop in temperature caused by the volcanic ash."

Xiang Luo missed the first opportunity to contact the news because he went to see the crack, so after hearing what the two of them said, he said to Zhu Yan: "Stay here." At least until the situation stabilized.

Zhu Yan shook his head, gagged himself another mouthful of food, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it down to hide his flustered mood.

"No, we'll go back after dinner."

Xiang Luo frowned: "You should know what will happen soon."

"So now is the last chance." Zhu Yan raised his head and looked at Xiang Luo, his attitude was very firm, "Severe inflation will soon be faced, I can't let my money become waste paper! Arranging before the collapse is the last chance."

Not seeing each other for five years has created an insurmountable gap between them.But the temperament and character of the past have not changed at all.Zhu Yan is still the same Zhu Yan from back then, and even ten bulls can't get back what he believes.

Xiang Luo knew he couldn't control him.There was no sound, I just sat on the sofa and picked up the bowl and chopsticks, sticking the chopsticks to the side of the bowl without remembering to eat, and said after a long while: "Remember to come back."

Come back, not come again.

Zhu Yan is an upright man with his own assets and contacts. He is not a bird in a cage. No matter how much Xiang Luo prepares, it is not an excuse to restrain Zhu Yan.

Xiang Luo is not qualified to prepare anything for Zhu Yan.

An Wei looked at the two words in embarrassment, blinked his eyes and asked curiously: "Is the food terrible? Why haven't you touched the food?"

Zhu Yan ate half a bowl of white rice in one go, but Xiang Luo refused to put down his chopsticks while holding the bowl.Poor Anwei, the only one who had eaten food, was a little worried that someone came to join him in drugging him.
