Chapter 41: Die with dignity
There was a thunderstorm last night, leaving a mess all over the ground.
The people in the village did not think about what to do next and focused on the present first.
Several aunts were cleaning the large pots and preparing to steam buns with flour collected by each family for breakfast. After the steamed buns are steamed, throw some vegetable leaves into the boiling water in the pot, and you will have something to eat and drink.
The men were divided into two groups. One group cleaned the table and set it up again for eating later; the other group went to move firewood to a nearby house, and the stones were among them.
The children helped clean up the pots and pans on the floor, put them in bamboo baskets, and carried them to the river for cleaning.
Others took off the tung oil cloth and spread it on the open space farther away. After drying it hastily, they put the wet items from each house out to dry.
Xiaohuan borrowed a straw mat from Madam Rong, spread it out and put Yuanyuan on it to play with.
Several old people sat together and discussed what to do next. Father Luo was so angry that he fainted and was unable to participate in the discussion for the time being.
Father Wu suggested: "Why not invite Mr. Xiu Cai and Ms. Shang to discuss it together?"
The old people thought it was reasonable, so Father Liu went to invite people in person.
Shang Wan hugged Lu Chengjing directly, and then wiped the soles of her feet with oil before Father Liu stopped her and ran away.
Just kidding, asking her to rescue people and demolish houses is fine, but let her forget about formulating post-disaster reconstruction plans, saying that she is not good at it.
The old people didn't mind and looked at Lu Chengjing one after another, "Master Xiu Cai, what do you have in mind?"
Lu Chengjing, abandoned by his wife: "..."
Does trying to bite someone count?
Shang Wan, who was running away, suddenly sneezed, raised his hand to rub his nose, changed his posture and continued to study the spiritual field in the space.
In the end of the world, with the tenth level of space power, the time flow rate in the spiritual field and the time flow rate outside the space can reach a terrifying ratio of up to 1:300.
No matter what kind of grain is planted, it can be harvested in less than a day as long as it is planted in Shang Wan's spiritual field.
At that time, Shang Wan was the key protection target of major bases and could be called a walking granary.
It's not like the top brass at each base have never thought of keeping Shang Wan in captivity and using it as a perpetual motion machine for grain production. But I don’t know what Shang Wan has encountered. Her mental threshold is extremely high, and people with mental powers cannot control her at all.
The top brass of each base wanted to use force to arrest the superpowers, but at least five of the ten high-level superpowers had been saved by Shang Wan. They refused to attack Shang Wan at all and prevented other high-level superpowers from attacking Shang Wan. Start late.
The top brass of each base thought for a long time and could only threaten Shang Wan to submit by controlling his comrades and their families.
Shang Wanhehe, want to keep her captive? Let's destroy together.
The top brass of each base were scratching their heads, but there was nothing they could do about Shang Wan, a prickly hedgehog. In the end, they had no choice but to give up the idea of keeping Shang Wan in captivity and treat Shang Wan as an ancestor.
Unfortunately, Shang Wan still died, killed by the zombie king in one blow.
I don’t know how long the Zombie King had been keeping an eye on her, but he didn’t even hesitate to command zombie waves and mutant beasts to attack major bases at the same time, just to contain the high-level superpower users in each major base, so that Shang Wan would be left alone, so that the Zombie King could take advantage of her.
As far as the scene was concerned, Shang Wan felt that she died with dignity.
In fact, she also quietly prepared a gift package of spiritual spring purification bombs for the Zombie King, which should be able to purify all the Zombie King's crystal cores. Unfortunately, she couldn't see that wonderful scene after traveling through time, which was a bit regretful.
At this time, Shang Wan looked at the small acre of spiritual field in the space, thinking about what to plant for testing.
There are no sophisticated instruments in this world, nor are there so many experimenters to help, so she can only try it by herself.
In the apocalypse, there is a kind of cabbage that can be eaten after mutation. It only takes five days from sowing to growing. It is a good source of vegetables. It is a special test for the teeth, and those with non-level five superpowers and above cannot bite it at all.
Ordinary pak choi also grows quickly.
There are many fields in the village where Chinese cabbage is grown. Maybe she can try some vegetable seeds. She can also ask her aunts about the growth cycle of Chinese cabbage in this world and estimate the time difference between the spiritual field and the outside world. Shang Wan made up his mind and was about to find someone to borrow some vegetables to grow when Xiao Huan came over holding Yuanyuan.
"Sister, Uncle Wu is calling everyone to go back."
"Let's go." Shang Wan stood up, took Yuanyuan who threw herself into her arms, smiled and kissed the little guy's round face, and raised his hand to squeeze the two little knots on her head.
"Why did you tie your hair suddenly?"
Xiaohuan laughed and said: "When I saw a little girl from another family having a little tug on her head, she started to clamor for it and it only stopped after it was pricked."
"Yes, quite cute." Shang Wan praised, and Yuanyuan hugged her neck and kissed her several times.
When the three of them went back, half of the people were already there.
Shitou waved to the three of them, "Here!"
There were two empty seats beside him, specially reserved for the two of them.
The two went over and sat down. Not long after they sat down, representatives from various families in the village arrived.
Father Wu winked at Father Liu, "Everyone is here, let's start."
Father Liu nuzzled at him, come on.
Father Wu had no choice but to stand up, clear his throat and said: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to what I have to say."
The villagers all fell silent and looked at him.
"Earthquakes are beyond human control. Since they happen, we must work together and actively respond. We have discussed a charter with Xiucai Gong. Everyone listens to it first. If there are any inappropriate parts, we will discuss changes. ”
Father Wu slowly explained the regulations. He spoke slowly but loudly enough that even the people standing at the back could hear clearly.
What he missed was supplemented by Lu Chengjing. In order to make it easier for the villagers to understand, he did not drag out any text and spoke in plain English.
The idle villagers gathered around to listen.
Shang Wan listened with his chin propped up and felt that the so-called charter could be summarized in three major points.
First, clean up collapsed houses, mark dangerous buildings, and burn poultry that died in the earthquake to avoid causing epidemics.
Second, go to the mountain to move soil to fill the severely cracked ground.
Third, strengthen dilapidated houses, cut down trees and build sheds to provide temporary housing for people whose houses collapsed.
Three simple points, but a lot of things involved.
For example, some people's houses in the village collapsed, and some people's houses became dilapidated, but there were also lucky people whose houses were fine. Why should you ask others to help you clean your house?
Another example is the arrangement of personnel to move soil and fill pits.
Some cracks open in other people's fields or next to other people's houses. They only affect the unlucky family, but they don't hinder others much. Why should other people bother to do this?
Not to mention that you should help each other if you live in a village. Even if you are wrapped up in morality, there are still situations where you can't do your best.
Everyone has selfish motives, and no one wants to suffer losses all the time. Which family does more and which family does less is a source of quarrels and disputes.
Shang Wan was impatient to deal with the aftermath because there were too many things to consider, and she was too lazy to use her brain.
Looking at Lu Chengjing's calm and composed expression, she guessed that they had already discussed a solution.
