Chapter 12 Doomsday remarks, meeting Fa Xiao
The temperature has risen recently and the flu has broken out. Due to the experience of the mask period two years ago, there are now many people wearing masks on the streets.
Today's news has been playing on the car stereo, and the host also called on everyone to take precautions recently and avoid going to crowded places. After all, this period of abnormally high temperatures may continue for some time.
As temperatures rise in various regions around the world to varying degrees, the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers and mountain ice and snow are melting slightly. Sea levels have risen in some places, and most of the island countries next door have been flooded.
This was all a slight early impact caused by interstellar dust. The whole family knew that a crueler end of the world was coming. For a while, the atmosphere in the carriage was somewhat silent, with only the sound of the car driving and the air conditioner blowing.
Arriving at the destination, the speed slowly slowed down.
This is still a suburb and is about to enter the downtown area. There are two large pharmacies and a second-grade hospital nearby.
Domestic medicine purchases are restricted. Although Gu Wenxing also stocked up on a lot of medicines abroad, his family did not study medicine, so most of the medicines he stocked were more daily medicines.
Materials, in the last days, the more the better.
They drove around the area, Gu Wenxing was responsible for driving, and the other three were responsible for recording and taking photos.
Throughout the day, they followed the same pattern and visited some unfamiliar places in the city.
In the evening, the temperature dropped, and the family returned home.
While waiting for his parents to cook, Gu Wenxing went for a walk in and around the village. Gu Wenyue picked up her phone, settled into a comfortable position on the sofa, and started to browse current news and short videos.
The temperature has been abnormal recently, and many crops in the fields are not doing well. The watering time has already passed, but there has been some drought recently, so we cannot leave it alone.
The weather has not been very clear these days, mostly cloudy, and it is rare that the sun shines all day today.
The bright yellow sun hung slanting in the sky. The sky was not as bright as the previous few days. It seemed to be covered with a fine layer of sand. Even the clouds floating overhead were gray and did not look like dark clouds.
When I look up, I can't see clearly.
The cultivated land in Tingsong Village is distributed in front of and behind the village. The built iron fence does not divide the cultivated land. The large iron gate at the entrance of the village is open at the moment, and people are coming in and out.
Gu Wenxing parked the car at the entrance of the village and stared at the figure watering the water in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.
He didn't have the habit of smoking. He was holding a piece of foxtail grass in his mouth, swinging it irritably. After a while, he threw it into the haystack next to him, rolled up the window, and drove around the village.
The roads in the village were built five or six years ago. At that time, my parents had just made some achievements, bought a house, and then demolished the old houses in the village and rebuilt them.
He still remembered that at that time, his father always said that he would come back to the village to take care of himself when he got old, so he built the house with extra care and used part of the money to help the village build roads.
Zhang Longmao applied for a sum of money from the superiors at that time, and with the two sums of money, he built the roads in the village strong and beautiful.
At this moment, the wide road that goes around the outside of the village is blocked by a protective net. There is also an older road outside the village.
He is now driving on the old road, heading out. In just half an hour, I walked around the outside of the village.
In fact, the geographical location of Tingsong Village will be very dangerous after the apocalypse. After all, animals and plants will mutate in the future.
But the parents said that they had lived in the apocalypse for a year, and at least during this year, Tingsongcun was relatively safe.
When he got home, Gu Wenyue also read all the recent news.
Gu Wenxing's anonymous posts abroad have become quite popular in the past two days.
When the post first came out, everyone didn’t take it seriously and even ridiculed it.
Nowadays, many people say that they would rather believe what they have than what they don’t have. Based on the principle of preferring to stock up more and wrong than not stocking up at all, they have hoarded a lot of things.
This wave has really contributed a lot of income to merchants and logistics companies.
In the past few days since the flu broke out, hospitals have been overcrowded. The government has posted various flu prevention tips online every day, calling on the public to pay more attention to protection.
There are also many people with strong resistance who quickly became active and lively after having a high fever and posted their experiences online.
Today there are four dishes and one soup as usual, garlic shrimp clay pot, mushroom chicken drumsticks, fried shredded pork with celery, stir-fried green beans, and yam and hibiscus soup, paired with soybean-flavored pancakes, which not only soothes the empty stomach but also comforts the body. Confused heart.
After finishing the meal and cleaning up the kitchen, the family locked the door and entered the space.
In these two days they started a big project, building a house.
Gu Wenyue also used the advantage of teleporting in space to look far away. On the other side of the sea is still the sea, on the other side of the mountain forest land is still mountain forest land, as well as swamps, deserts and cliffs.
There are no other buildings.
The black wooden tower should be the center of the space, and there are several pierced targets in the distance. They plan to build a wooden loft nearby.
Although Gu Wenxing bought a mobile home, he even bought four oversized RVs called doomsday fortresses.
But the family still feels that living in a house built like this is more like home.
Especially since they probably won't stay in Tingsongcun forever. If they travel far away in the future, it would be nice to have a house in the space to live in.
Gu Wenyue bought the wood specially from the wood processing factory she saw on the road. It has all kinds of accessories that can be used to build a house.
Gu Wenyue could control space with her mind, but she only dug a foundation. The four of them compared the tutorial and the foundation repeatedly.
In half the night, only a small part was set up.
This is a long way to go, but fortunately there is no rush and you can take your time.
The next day, the four of them got up early.
Zhao Minan and Gu Jinguo have deliberately cooked more meals these days. They put them in packing boxes and put them in a space without deterioration. They are easier to use than a freezer.
Of course, I also have two large freezers at home, which are already full.
After eating, Gu Wenyue went out.
The temperature has dropped a bit today, only 34 degrees, and it seems that the hot weather is about to pass again.
But this is just the calm before the storm.
Their home is at the end of the village. If they want to go to the supermarket, they have to pass through half of the village.
There is a big market every five days in the village, and today happens to be the day of the market. Although the weather has been abnormal recently, everyone's mood for going to the market has not been affected.
Zhang Longmao speculated that the catastrophe may be the end of the world, and he has tried to reduce human contact in the market as much as possible.
There were not many people in Tingsong Village to begin with, but now there are a few scattered stalls on the street, and villagers are walking among them.
A familiar neighbor met Gu Wenyue and greeted her with a smile.
The sound of the suitcase gurgling could be heard. Gu Wenyue quickly stepped aside and picked up the wooden comb from the stall next to her to look at.
Coming behind him was a vibrant girl, permed in fashionable wool curls, and wearing a pink-green dress, like a blooming flower.
"Huh?!"
When the pink-green figure passed by Gu Wenyue, he stopped slightly.
"Wen Yue?!"
She cried out in surprise.
Only then did Gu Wenyue put down the wooden comb in her hand, and her eyes fell on the other person's face.
She was wearing a mask today and a tightly covered sportswear. She didn't know how the other party recognized her.
The other party took off his mask, and a delicate little face appeared in front of Gu Wenyue. Only then did she recognize it: "Zhang Yuqian, are you back?"
She and Zhang Yuqian played well when they were young, but Zhang Qingwen and Zhang Yuqian didn't get along well, and they were not in the same school when they were in high school.
Especially after going to college, she and the girl in front of her never saw each other again.
Zhang Yuqian put the mask on her wrist, smoothed the broken hair on her temples, and then said: "Yes, my grandma always calls home. A while ago, she said that the world is not peaceful recently and asked us all to come back. Last night Fight, my grandma said that my father is ill and wants to come back to see him.”
As she spoke, she clicked her tongue, her tone a little irritated and helpless, and then complained: "In the final analysis, it's just the old people who miss us. You said they don't care about what time it is now. It just so happened that I didn't want to do my job anymore, so I resigned. Back.”
I used to look at Wenwen as a weak girl who couldn't speak fluently, but I didn't expect that she would change so much.
Gu Wenyue saw that she was still dragging her suitcase, and she didn't want to stay here for too long, so she interrupted: "Then you go home and put down your suitcase first?"
"Okay! I haven't been to the market for a long time. I'll come back to the market later to buy something."
