024 It's snowing outside the mountains

Du Ruying said: "When I was a child, the basement was only opened for air defense drills. The rooms on the ground were already sufficient, so we were too lazy to go down so many steps to store things in the basement."

Qi Qing can clearly feel that the temperature in the basement is warmer than on the ground, and the soil itself has the effect of regulating temperature.

She decided that at least they would have no problem living in the basement during the extremely cold months. They should divide the room functions well, solve the problem of domestic garbage and feces disposal, and then modify the ventilation system and install the air source heat pump in a safe way.

The location should be no problem.

However, in times of extreme heat and meteorite disasters, air raid shelters may be more suitable.

When it got dark, Qi Qing asked Wang Kuan and his wife to take Wang Yu back to the dormitory, and she and her mother had dinner. Mo Xun then said to go to the office building to see if the satellite receiving antenna equipment could still be used.

, they moved to the roof of their house and connected the lines in advance.

When dinner was ready, Mo Xun had already returned to the yard with an antenna pot. He used a simple external ladder to jump directly to the roof with the antenna pot.

This house has a sloping roof. Du Ruying remembers that in the past, when the house was leaking and repairing tiles, the workers had to go up and down carefully. After going up, they didn't dare to move too much because it was on a slope. It was definitely not as comfortable as on flat ground.

But I saw that Mo Xun was quite skillful. He probably brought not only the antenna pot, but also some auxiliary tools. He was able to fix the antenna on the ridge of the roof in a few clicks without using a ladder, and just walked on the sloped roof.

Jumped from the roof to the second floor terrace.

Du Ruying sighed: "Has this young man practiced kung fu?"

Qi Qing said: "Of course. When I was a gangster before, he could handle two with one hand. That's why I asked him to be a bodyguard."

That night they simply arranged the supplies. Since Qi Qing proposed a plan to focus on the basement, they did not rush to clear the pipelines on the ground. After dinner, Qi Qing went to the basement again, took out paper and pen to write and draw.

The main spatial patterns have been planned.

The outer courtyard wall should be retained, and the room leading to the basement can be used as the first monitoring room. The main living area and energy equipment should be placed in the basement.

As for the industrial base machine, they plan to keep it in its original packaging without unpacking or assembling it. It is best to store it directly in the air-raid shelter. If it cannot fit in, they will add an insulation layer to the outside and leave it in an empty room on the ground temporarily.

That night, Qi Qing received a wave of gratitude. After talking to the system, it was confirmed that the welfare home had received the donated materials. This wave of gratitude directly upgraded Qi Qing's space to level 3, with a total of 10 cubic meters and the ability to hoard.

There are a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables and meat. She decided to buy a batch of goods in town tomorrow to fill up the space.

Mother and daughter chose a house with undamaged windows to live in. They made a bed out of cardboard boxes and sleeping bags as bedding. They closed the door and slept soundly.

Mo Xun also had a sleeping bag, but he chose to rest in the modified car to feel the night environment here.

Even if there are remaining buildings in the mountains where there are few people, many of them have not been inhabited for many years and have been covered and eroded by plants. Wild animals appear from time to time and are not afraid of humans at all. They are more sensitive than humans and seem to have sensed the temperature changes long ago.

Abnormally, those who are active at night are more active and come out to stock up on food.

Mo Xun has indeed had no fixed place in the past ten years, and it is common for him to sleep in the car. But this time, he parked his car and rested in such a comfortable yard. He could walk to the house at any time and see himself

If you like someone, you don't have to worry about a sudden hail of bullets. He should be content.

The next morning, Mo Xun got up very early and worked on breakfast.

The earthen stove on the first floor was repaired last night, and there was no shortage of firewood in the mountains. He went for a fitness run in the morning and picked up firewood. He cooked breakfast in the kitchen with his own pot, and he was in a special mood.

good.

At this time Wang Kuan came over with Professor Wang.

Qi Qing hurriedly greeted: "Have you had breakfast? Brother Wang, you don't have to start the fire alone. You can have dinner with us later."

Wang Kuan thanked him honestly and said: "No, our taste is different from yours. We brought rice and have already eaten it. This Professor Wang, we had a few chats in the dormitory yesterday and he heard that we are here today."

Maybe he went to town to buy building materials, so he said he had a student who wanted to take a ride to town."

Qi Qing had never seen Professor Wang in her dream, so she looked at him carefully. Professor Wang was in his forties, wore black-rimmed glasses, and had an ordinary face, but he had the air of a refined scholar.

She greeted her hurriedly and said, "Professor Wang, do you need to go to town to buy something? We can buy it on your behalf, which will save you or the students trouble and delay in teaching."

Professor Wang said: "We had bought a lot of things before, and we wouldn't be short of anything if we stayed here for another month. But I had a female student, something happened at home, and I told her to go home. Originally, I wanted to arrange for a male classmate to accompany her.

I'm walking on the highway and hitching a ride to the town. Since you're going to the town, can you please give her a ride, okay? I'll pay the fare for her first."

Qi Qing smiled and said: "You can't get paid for this effort. By the way, Professor Wang, do you know where to buy building materials in town? Are there any supermarkets or markets with a comprehensive range of products?"

Professor Wang had taken his students to buy things in the town several times before. He recommended a large market and a boss who sold building materials with whom he had dealt with before. Then he asked: "I heard that you moved back from City S. What will happen this year?"

The climate is abnormal, especially cold, right?"

Qi Qing said: "Yes, I looked at the weather forecast yesterday and it said that the average daytime temperature in City S was only 3 degrees, and there was no heating. It was really difficult."

Professor Wang reminded: "The temperature in the mountains this year is not right either. Our meteorological professor at T University said that after the Spring Festival this year, there was a severe freeze in the south. Temperatures were low across the country. Heating in the north has been postponed and has not stopped."

Qi Qing's focus is: "Is there anything wrong with the temperature in the mountains here? My mother said that they used to use braziers here around the Spring Festival. We didn't use them last night. It felt a bit cold."

Professor Wang nodded: "Fortunately, we brought portable small stoves. One is placed in each of the boys' and girls' rooms. It's quite useful."

Qi Qing took advantage of the situation and asked: "Then when I go to town, can I buy you some supplies to prevent the cold?"

Professor Wang said: "That's no need. We plan to evacuate by the end of April at the latest. Oh, by the way, if there is fresh beef and mutton, can you bring some back? It's not easy to spoil if left outside in cold weather, the students said

I want to eat shabu-shabu.”

"No problem, we just want to buy some. It's the most comfortable to eat hot pot around the stove in the cold weather." Qi Qing agreed.

After making an appointment with Professor Wang to set off, he went back to make arrangements for the girl.

Here Qi Qing discussed with everyone and decided that Mo Xun would drive a large truck to take Qi Qing to the town to buy supplies. Wang Kuan and his wife first tidied up the small yard according to the plan she made yesterday, dug soil, weeded and built pre-buried water and electricity.

Preparation of the pipeline. Wait until they come back from the town to buy building materials and accessories at noon, and then work together in the afternoon while it is warm.

The girl who was hitching a ride thought it would be a car or a large truck, but she didn't expect to get into the driver's seat of a large truck and lie down on the sleeper berth. Her face looked a little ugly, but she couldn't bear to say anything.

If she was going to town to buy supplies, of course she would drive a truck, so why should she drive an extra car just to see her off?

After the large truck drove out of the culvert and turned a few turns, Qi Qing suddenly noticed that snowflakes were floating in the sky, which were tiny, crystal clear snowflakes.

It's actually snowing outside the mountains.

At this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from the police station of a certain street in a certain district of city S. This was the street next to her original address. She couldn't help but think a few times.
