Chapter 8 8. Waterproof Tarpaulin
“Uh...”
Suddenly being called captain brother, and the other person is a soft, cute and helpless girl (living alone in the tunnel), The captain's face tightened, but his tone slowed down:
"I am Zhou Qian, just call me Captain Zhou. What can I do for you?"
Huai Yu bent his eyes, The voice was soft: "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 been less than two days... you built it yourself? What kind of house!"
Huaiyu gestured: "Just break some branches to support it. , then pick some leaves and spread 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 flow along the leaves! The lower arc is dripping, but in the end there are too few sycamore leaves and they are not big enough. It can only be spread in two layers, so it is inevitable to be a little worried.
The guard 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...
Don't dare to think about it.
She might not be able to break the larger branches.
Besides, it is early spring now. Even if there are some trees on the edges, the ones with leaves now are basically evergreen shrubs with small leaves.
These little leaves are stacked up to protect her from the wind and rain...
Captain Zhou looked at her pitiful appearance. Although he knew that she was a rice bug with zero contribution points, he still sighed in the end.
As soon as he sighed, Huaiyu became nervous: "Brother captain, can you change it?"
She took off the heavy pine cones slung over her shoulder, her attitude became more and more sincere. : "This is what I did yesterday I’ve been looking for it for a long time near the Rose Corridor. It’s edible! Can I change it?”
It was probably dropped by the Rose Corridor when it was driving away alien plants, or it was blown by the strong wind... …
In short, just think about a weak girl on 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 then I can't keep my serious face anymore.
He waved his hand, and the soldiers who were following him came forward: "Go to the logistics and use my points to exchange for a waterproof tarpaulin, a light one - is 20 square meters enough? Forget it, 40 square meters, more It can be placed on the ground to prevent moisture."
Huaiyu moved her lips. She wanted to say that the new house is very big and strong. Although the house is only a little over ten square meters, 40 square meters is just enough to cover the entire circle. For a round top, at most a few bricks can be pressed on the corners, but there is really no way to cushion 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 also have some weight. Cover it on the top and remember to support the house."
"Although the plastic sheet is lighter, it can block the wind. If you don’t keep out the cold, the temperature will be very low if it rains in two days.”
Huaiyu nodded obediently and found that Captain Zhou opposite him was dark-looking and serious, but he was very kind-hearted.
She didn’t even expect the temperature to drop!
She obediently handed over the pine cone.
Captain Zhou didn't look like he wanted to.
But after hesitating for a moment, he took it and was shocked by the heavy weight again -
"It's almost ten kilograms, 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 protects you too well, but times have changed now, and you are the biggest supporter!" < br>
He waved his hand: “Ingredients are hard to come by now, so this pine cone doesn’t look like it has much variation. , which can be exchanged for 10-15 contribution points, which is just enough for the tarpaulin.”
“It’s very well done!” He encouraged: “The waterproof tarpaulin is about 12 pounds, and it is sun-resistant, anti-aging and durable. , don’t waste it!” As the logistics staff trotted along, a stack of thick tarpaulins instantly bent Huai Yu’s waist.
……
Seeing Huaiyu holding the tarpaulin and dragging it slowly away, back to the camp, the logistics staff smiled and said:
“It’s rare that a little girl still has the spirit of self-reliance and knows how to bring things. In exchange for resources, I should drive a car to help her send her things back."
The other person laughed: "Yeah, look at the dirty face and the tattered clothes... Tsk, I guess. She didn’t even dare to wash her face.”
Although it’s safe now, it’s better for her to be a little dirty when she’s 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 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?"
"She can carry this If you come here with a ten-pound pine tower, you can carry a twelve-pound tarpaulin back. "It's hard for people to rely on themselves and break the zero contribution points. Don't make trouble."
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 chuckled: "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 dare to pick up the bushes beside the rose corridor?"
They are not allowed to approach there. , so it’s normal to get nothing for so many years.
You can’t just go through the corridor and pick it from the mountain, right?
Captain Zhou handed over the pine nut: "Come on, 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, become stronger, and then crave all nutrients, people, animals, flesh and blood...all nutrients.
So 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.
The degree of unpalatableness depends on the mutation value.
But——
“Holy shit! What’s going on? The mutation value is only 3?”
The mutation index in their air is only 3!
Everyone came over in an instant, and then stared closely at the huge green number——
“Test again! Report again!”
"Di——"
"It's still 3!"
Everyone looked at each other, and then cheered: "Give me a handful! This is definitely not bitter!"
"I think Why do you want one? "
"Bah! It's mine! I bought it with 50 points!"
