Chapter 8 8. Waterproof tarpaulin

"Well…"

Suddenly being called the captain's brother, and the caller was a cute, helpless girl (living alone), the captain's face tightened, but his tone slowed down:

"I'm Zhou Qian, just call me Captain Zhou. What can I do for you?"

Huaiyu bent his eyes and said softly: "I built a house, but it doesn't seem to be able to keep out the rain. I would like to ask if I can exchange these pine cones for a piece of plastic sheeting?"

"Built a house?" Captain Zhou frowned: "It's only been less than two days... You built it yourself? What kind of house!"

Huaiyu gestured: "Just break off some branches to support it, then pick some leaves and lay them on the head!"

"But the leaves don't seem to be spread tightly enough..."

She was a little confused. Although she knew that the rain would drip along the downward arc of the leaves, there were too few sycamore leaves and they were not big enough. She could only lay two layers, so she was inevitably a little worried.

The guards and Captain Zhou fell silent together.

It's not like they haven't heard that branches and leaves can be used to build a house.

But when he came, the other party was a helpless little girl. It seemed that she had been cared for before, so it only took her more than a day to build the house...

I dare not think about it.

She might not be able to break the larger branches.

Furthermore, it is early spring, and even if there are some trees on the edges, the ones with leaves now are basically evergreen shrubs with small leaves.

These little leaves want to be layered to protect from wind and rain...

Captain Zhou looked at her pitiful look, and even though he knew she was a loser with zero contribution points, he still sighed.

As soon as he sighed, Huaiyu became nervous: "Brother, captain, can you change?"

She took off the heavy bunch of pine cones slung over her shoulder, and her attitude became more sincere: "I saw this after searching for a long time near the Rose Corridor yesterday. It's edible! Can I exchange it?"

It was probably thrown by the Rose Corridor when it was driving away alien plants, or maybe it was blown by the strong wind...

In short, just think about a weak **** the other side, walking all the way along the dangerous rose corridor, searching for no matter how many miles it took to find such a small amount of food...

Captain Zhou could no longer keep his serious face.

He waved his hand, and the soldiers who followed him came forward: "Go to the logistics and use my points to exchange for a waterproof tarpaulin. Is 20 square meters enough for a light one? Forget it, 40 square meters. If it is more, you can put it on the ground to prevent moisture. "

Huaiyu moved her lips. She wanted to say that the new house was very big and strong. Although the house was only a little over ten square meters, 40 square meters was just enough to cover the entire round roof. At most, a few bricks could be pressed into the corners. There is really no way to put it on the ground.

But, it doesn't matter, the captain brother is a nice person, and she will be satisfied.

After giving the instructions, Captain Zhou also asked: "Light-weight tarpaulins are also heavy. Cover it on the top and remember to support the house well."

"Although the plastic sheet is lighter, it can block the wind but not the cold. It will rain in two days and the temperature will be very low."

Huaiyu nodded obediently and found that Captain Zhou opposite him was dark-looking and serious, but he was very caring.

She didn't even expect the temperature to drop!

She obediently handed the pine cone over.

Captain Zhou didn't look like he wanted to.

But after hesitating for a moment, he still took it and was shocked by the heavy weight -

"It's almost ten pounds. Did you carry it all the way?"

Huaiyu nodded. She really wanted a car, but she didn't have one, so she had to carry it.

Shen is dead.

But the other party laughed: "That's right! You are somewhat self-reliant now, and you can endure hardships and stand hard work... The zero contribution score is probably because your family is too protective of you, but times have changed now, and you are the biggest supporter!"

He waved his hand: "Ingredients are hard to come by these days. This pine cone doesn't seem to have much variation. It can be exchanged for 10-15 contribution points, which is just enough for that tarp."

"Well done!" He encouraged: "The waterproof tarpaulin is about 12 pounds. It is sun-protective, anti-aging and durable. Don't waste it!" As the logistics staff jogged all the way, a stack of thick tarpaulins instantly bent. Huaiyu's waist.

Seeing Huaiyu holding the tarp and dragging it slowly away and back to the camp, the logistics officer smiled and said:

"It's rare that this little girl still has the spirit of self-reliance and knows how to exchange things for resources. At least I should drive a car to help her send her things back."

Another person laughed: "Yeah, look at that dirty face and tattered clothes... Tsk, I guess I don't even dare to wash my face."

Although it was safe now, it was better for her to be a little dirty when a little girl was alone. I don’t know whose child it was, how could it be so chaotic before and yet still protect others so well.

Now everything is on track, but...

Forget it, forget it, don't think about it anymore, six years after the disaster, all kinds of emergencies have happened, it's not surprising anymore.

Captain Zhou, on the other hand, said in a deep voice: "Then she needs a lot of things! Do you want a toothbrush and toothpaste? Do you want a towel? Do you want pots and pans?"

"If she can carry the ten kilograms of pine cone here, she can carry the twelve kilograms of tarp back."

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

"It took a lot of effort for people to think about being self-reliant and breaking through the zero contribution points. Don't make trouble or upset others."

But having said that, he was a little puzzled: "Why haven't we picked up so many pine cones? Is it because the rose corridor over there is next to the mountain?"

The logistics staff gave a sullen laugh: "I guess newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. They have never seen the power of the rose corridor every summer and autumn, so they dare to pick up the bushes next to the rose corridor, right?"

They can't get close there, so it's normal to get nothing for so many years.

You can't just go through the corridor to pick it from the mountain, right?

Captain Zhou handed over the pine nut: "Come here, I haven't cracked melon seeds in many years. Today we are going to crack pine nuts - test and see what the mutation value is. Can I eat it?"

After the catastrophe, all plants have mutated to a greater or lesser extent. The only difference lies in whether they have exceeded the critical value.

Plants that exceed the critical value will go crazy, grow rapidly, expand, and then crave all nutrients, people, animals, flesh and blood...all nutrients.

Therefore, during these six years of struggle, all the crazy plants were killed by their concerted efforts. Those who couldn't be killed were driven to the wilderness by all possible means.

Most of the ones that are not within the normal variation value become unpalatable.

For example, pine nuts may have been fragrant and sweet before, but now they may be bitter and numbing.

How unpalatable it is depends on the mutation value.

but-

"Holy shit! What's going on? The mutation value is only 3?"

The variation index in their air is only 3!

Everyone came together in an instant, and then stared closely at the huge green number—

"Test again! Report again!"

"Beep—"

"Still 3!"

Everyone looked at each other, and then cheered: "Give me a handful! This is definitely not bitter!"

"What do you think you want? You have a big face, don't you?!"

"Bah! Don't grab it! It belongs to me! I used 50 points to exchange for the tarp!"
