Natural Disaster Apocalypse

Collecting so many things at one time must be mentally exhausting. When Qin Huai woke up, Mu Nan didn't even wake up, but although he fell asleep, his complexion was obviously a little rosier than in the morning, and he was no longer indifferent. Bloody white. She slept until the sun went down, and her stomach was growling with hunger before Mu Nan woke up.

Looking at the time, Mu Nan was startled by his ability to sleep: "I've slept all day."

Qin Huai rubbed his messy hair: "Sleeping is an instinctive behavior for the body to recover, how about it, are you still sleepy?"

Mu Nan shook his head: "I'm still sleepy after sleeping for so long, it's because I've slept for too long and I'm so tired."

Qin Huai smiled, and stretched out his hand to pull him up from the bed: "Go wash up, we'll go out for a walk when we're tired from sleep, just as the sun is setting, take a walk around and see what you want to eat, after eating, Find a barber shop and get your hair cut."

While walking to the bathroom, Mu Nan glanced at Qin Huai's hair: "I helped you cut it pretty well before, and I still have some haircut skills."

Qin Huai said with a smile: "It's because I'm not good at craftsmanship. I cut it for you like a dog gnawed it. I'll go back to the factory and repair it."

Without the sun, City B is no longer scorching hot, but rather sultry. The air inhaled into the lungs is filled with a fiery heat. After going out for a while, the body seems to be covered with a layer of airtight mucous membrane, sticky and uncomfortable. . Fortunately, there is a shopping mall near the hotel, where you can shop, eat, drink, and have a hairdresser. The point is, the mall is well-conditioned, so you don't need to be heated outside.

Because after sleeping for a day, the food in the morning had already been digested, and they were really hungry, so the two went to a restaurant to have a meal, and then went to the barber shop to get a haircut, although it was a high-end The barber shop, but neither of them asked for styling. They just asked the barber to cut it shorter.

Looking at the faces of the two of them, the stylist felt a little regretful. If he did a stylist, it would add 100 points to his appearance. However, good-looking people are good-looking even if they are cut short, which is typical of self-willedness. When I finished cutting my hair, it was already dark outside. I was going to go back to the hotel, but I accidentally found an outdoor goods store. There were knives for sale in the store, but this knives were handicrafts like Tang knives. Unopened ones, after all, can be sold in shopping malls, and there is no way to have controlled knives. But even if it is unopened, such a Tang knife is quite rare.

Mu Nan picked out a few, and there are some other extreme items that he has in his space, but there is no harm in preparing them. Can be mailed through specific mailing channels, if necessary, they can mail it on their behalf.

But it was rejected by Mu Nan, so there is no need to bother.

After happily spending a sum of money, Mu Nan was ready to leave the shopping mall with a gift box containing a few knives: "When we go back later, we can see where we go to play tomorrow, just play tomorrow, and we will go home the day after tomorrow. It doesn’t feel safe to be outside for a long time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang, and Qin Huai subconsciously pulled Mu Nan into his arms.

They had just reached the entrance of the shopping mall. Following the loud noise, the lights of the entire shopping mall went dark, the screams of passers-by, and the crowds rushing out of the shopping mall made the originally wide road suddenly crowded. .

Qin Huai took the gift box in Mu Nan's hand with one hand, grabbed Mu Nan's wrist with the other and walked out quickly, afraid of being scattered by the crowd who ran out of the shopping mall in a panic.

After successfully running outside the shopping mall, they saw that the shopping mall did not know whether it was something on the fourth floor or the fifth floor that had exploded, and now it was constantly billowing thick smoke, and the ground was covered with explosions. One or two passers-by were unlucky. They were just walking under the mall when the glass shards from the explosion hit them. Fortunately, they were only injured, not life-threatening.

Because of the heat during the day, fewer people came out, and there were obviously more people on the road at night. Now that they heard the movement here, they all gathered around to watch the excitement. Soon the sound of fire engines came from a distance, and the security guards of the shopping mall were also maintaining order at the entrance. The cause of the explosion above was unknown, and it was unknown whether there would be a second explosion, so crowds could not gather here. If there is an accident, the mall will be responsible.

Mu Nan had seen this kind of sudden explosion too much in his previous life. He was just a little surprised that the current temperature is not too high. At least the high temperature in City B is only hovering at 35 to 38 degrees. In the past, although it was a little hot, it was still within the normal range, and it would not cause an explosion, or maybe it was really just an accident this time.

But whether it was a high-temperature explosion or an accident, Mu Nan was not that interested in watching the excitement. Qin Huai is not a person who likes to join in the fun, and if the hidden danger is not eliminated, causing greater danger, it will be too late to leave. When the crowd gathered towards this side, Qin Huai tightly pulled Mu Nan out, until he walked out of the scope of the shopping mall, the number of people around gradually decreased.

In less than ten minutes, Mu Nan was covered in sweat, and Qin Huai's back was also wet with sweat. Seeing this, Mu Nan quickly fanned Qin Huai with a small fan.

Qin Huai stopped him from fanning the wind. Seeing that his expression was normal and he was not frightened by the sudden explosion, he said, "Let's go back to the hotel first, and you should take a shower first." Cool down.

Mu Nan said: "Let's go back tomorrow, do you have anything to do here?"

Qin Huai said: "There is nothing to deal with."

Seeing that he really had no intention of going back to the rented room, Mu Nan reconfirmed: "Is there really no need to go there and pack up, anyway, it doesn't take up space anyway."

Qin Huai shook his head: "It's not necessary, there are only a few clothes, and the rent has not been paid for a few months. Temporarily canceling the rent is too troublesome, so don't waste this time."

Qin Huai didn't buy a house here, and rented a small apartment directly after returning from abroad. He originally thought that he would go back to find Mu Nan after he graduated, and when he brought Mu Nan to settle here, According to Mu Nan's preferences, he bought a house and renovated it, but he didn't take any action, and it became what he is now.

He didn't have much stuff in that rented house, just a few clothes, IDs, etc. He took them all with him when he went back to find Mu Nan. The house was empty, and he didn't even buy a few pieces of furniture. There was only one bed on it. Mattresses on the ground, starting a business is not so easy, every second is devoted to work, the rental house is just a place to sleep every day, so he has never paid attention to living, anyway, how can a person Come by whatever you want. So when he brought Mu Nan to City B, he directly chose to stay in a hotel. He didn't want Mu Nan to see his empty house that didn't look like a home at all, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that Qin Huai really didn't have anything to pack, Mu Nan said, "Okay then, if we don't have any, we'll leave early and have to find a car. I feel that it's dangerous outside, so I don't want to play."

Qin Huai said: "Really not going? If I don't go this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future."

Mu Nan shook his head: "I don't want to go, I just want to go home and stay at home." Going to play is just to have more memories for future memories, but the problem is, if something happens on the way just because of this extra day of playing, what will happen? Even the future is gone, so what to remember.

Seeing Mu Nan's eagerness to go home, Qin Huai naturally wouldn't force him, but said: "Then I'll book the tickets first, and if we have enough time, we can charter a car and take a quick look at some scenic spots along the way, since we're here Even if you just sit in the car and take a look, it will be more rewarding than going back directly."

Mu Nan felt that this was feasible, and it didn't delay their return home anyway.

Facts have proved that when people don’t have the mentality to play at all, even if they go to some scenic spots with good reputation, they just look at them casually. However, every time Mu Nan went to a place, he took Qin Huai and asked the driver to take some photos for them. It happened that he bought a photo printer, and when he returned, he would print out these photos. Anyway, I have been here.

They ate something at the restaurant at the station at noon, and it was almost time to get on the train, but this time they didn't go home directly, they would get off the train halfway, and look for the car that failed to return on the way to Qinhuai.

Mu Nan thought that the car that had been parked for such a long time might be full of ticket stickers. After all, it had been more than a week since the seal was lifted, but he didn't expect that when he found Qinhuai's car, there was no ticket on it: "So this is For the sake of the epidemic, let it go and ignore it?"

Qin Huai checked the vehicle back and forth, and there is nothing wrong with it except that it is out of gas. It has been parked here for a few months, but the body is a little dirty, but it is not damaged: "I guess so, the traffic has just resumed, I am afraid it will take a while. I can’t manage so much, and in a few days, we may have to rectify the problem of vehicle parking on the side of the road.”

Mu Nan looked around: "Then I get in the car now and take a barrel of oil out of the space?"

Qin Huai nodded, and opened the car door for him. Mu Nan pretended to take out a small barrel of gasoline that he had prepared a long time ago from the back seat of the car. Qin Huai filled a little gasoline into the tank, but not too much. For the car, you can find a gas station by driving a little distance, and you can still spend money to refuel at this time, so there is no need to consume inventory.

Although it has been parked for several months, the car can still start normally. Mu Nan wiped the front window a little bit. After several months of parking, the accumulated dust can no longer be seen clearly: "This car still has to go. Wash it."

Qin Huai drove the car out of the parking space on the side of the road, and Mu Nan quickly got into the co-pilot: "I'll do the navigation."

Qin Huai said: "Find the nearest gas station first, and then look for a car wash."

Mu Nan hurriedly navigated to guide the way: "Drive forward, there is a gas station ten minutes away, but I don't know if the gas station is open."

Fortunately, the gas station opened, and Qin Huai filled up the fuel tank directly. Mu Nan watched helplessly from the window, and waited for the car to restart before saying, "Should we find a place where no one is around and pump the oil out of the fuel tank?" come out?"

Gas stations don't sell fuel in bulk. If they want to save some fuel, the easiest and most direct way is to fill it up and take it out, then change to another gas station to continue refueling.

Qin Huai laughed and said, "You spend a lot of time buying oil like this, not to mention wasting time, and you may not be able to save much."

Mu Nan said, "Other than this, how else can I get oil?"

Qin Huai said: "Looking for private purchases, there are always some people who have channels that others do not have, and the oil in some private hands is more expensive and more durable than gas station ones, just go to them to buy, that is, the price is slightly higher That's all."

Although Mu Nan has a driver's license, he doesn't own a car, so he has never paid attention to the issue of gasoline for vehicles. All he can think of is pumping oil. After all, he can't find a way to buy it privately. Hearing what Qin Huai said, Mu Nan said, "Have you found out where to buy oil?"

Qin Huai nodded: "I've got in touch. When I get back, I'll rent a pickup truck, and I'll pick up gas in two days."

Mu Nan couldn't help giving him a thumbs up immediately: "Amazing!"

It took seven or eight hours to drive back from the place where they picked up the car, or ten hours if it was slow. They set off at three o'clock in the afternoon, found a hotel for the night, and returned home in the early hours of the next night. Along the way, I bought around supermarkets and shopping malls, ate delicious restaurants, and packed a lot of dishes. Anyway, once the things are put on the car and the car is driven, who will know how the things will be consumed.

He took out the big and small bags from a supermarket and put them on the back seat, then Mu Nan pushed Qin Huai to the passenger seat: "I'll drive, the next step is the high speed, it's already nine o'clock, so there probably won't be any later." The large supermarkets are open, so let’s just go home all the way.”

Mu Nan got into the driver's seat involuntarily, and Qin Huai had no choice but to follow him and let him out of the driver's seat: "It's not easy to drive at night, and you should be more careful on the highway."

Mu Nan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can still drive." His driving skills have been practiced very well during the three months of his rebirth.

The car started and got on the highway smoothly. It was too late. Although there were almost no cars on the highway, Mu Nan was still paying attention to the road conditions. It was a long time before he noticed that Qin Huai had been looking at him: " What's wrong?"

Qin Huai smiled, turned his head and looked forward: "The car drives quite well, it really has grown up."

Mu Nan didn't hear the trace of loneliness hidden in his smile, but when he heard Qin Huai praise himself, he felt a little proud: "I've grown up already."

Entered the city smoothly, and returned home safely, but because Mu Nan didn't have a car, he didn't apply for a parking space in the community, and the underground parking lot couldn't get in. Fortunately, after the epidemic, there are many tenants here. It was time to go back to my hometown, and there were more vacant spaces on the ground in the community, so Mu Nan simply parked the car under their building.

When he got out of the car, Mu Nan couldn't help stretching his waist, and his whole body creaked. During the day, Qinhuai drove for a day, and he sat for a whole day, and he was very tired. When he drove at night, he was always highly focused on the road, and he was also tired. All the bones in his body are not his own.

Coincidentally, they ran into neighbors when they were leaving, and when they came back, their neighbor next door just came back from outside, but Yu Zibai was the only one who saw them getting off the car, and greeted them with a smile: "What a coincidence, Come back so late."

Mu Nan was busy stretching and exercising, Qin Huai said, "Yes, you just came back?"

Yu Zibai raised the things in his hand: "Forget it, my roommate is about to leave work soon, so I came down to buy some supper and went back to wait for him."

Mu Nan smelled the barbecue aroma in the air, and he didn't feel hungry at first, but when the aroma smelt him, he also wanted to eat, but he was so tired that he just wanted to go back and lie down.

With just one look, Qin Huai could tell what he was thinking: "Want to eat?"

Mu Nan nodded, and Qin Huai smiled: "Then you go upstairs first, and I'll go buy some."

Mu Nan hurriedly pulled Qin Huai, he was tired, Qin Huai would only be more tired than him: "Just order takeaway, go home, it's too hot."

When the three of them were waiting for the elevator downstairs, another handsome guy with long legs came in. Mu Nan couldn't help but take another look, why didn't he realize before that there were so many handsome guys on their side.

Yu Zibai seemed to know this person, and when he saw the person walking in, he smiled and said hello: "Doctor Xu, are you leaving get off work so late?"

Although the man called Dr. Xu looked a little tired, he still smiled back: "Well, I had an operation temporarily, so I'm a little late today."

Mu Nan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, being a doctor is really not easy.

A group of people got on the elevator, Mu Nan saw that Yu Zibai only pressed the 17th floor, and the doctor didn't move, so he subconsciously turned his head to look at him, just about to ask the other party which floor, Yu Zibai looked at him and said with a smile: "He lives on the same floor as us, number seven."

Hearing Yu Zibai's words, that doctor Xu also looked at Mu Nan and said with a smile, "It's rare that you didn't wear earphones today. We met so many times, and today is the first time to say hello formally. Hello, my name is Xu Ming."

He has lived here for almost four years, and the first time he saw this neighbor, he was still wearing a high school uniform. Not to mention often, we can always see each other several times a month, and sometimes, the other party is like a complete stranger, walking straight past without even looking at him, he still thought, this child is quite cold.

Hearing this, Mu Nan was a little embarrassed and said, "Hi, my name is Mu Nan, and this is my brother, Qin Huai."

Qin Huai put his hand on Mu Nan's head, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, my brother is a bit shy, so he's not very good at communicating with people."

Dr. Xu is not a person who cares about it, and this is not something that needs to be caressed about, so he smiled indifferently: "Most of the children nowadays are like this. No one loves them when they wear earphones."

After a few words, the floor arrived. Several people said goodbye to each other and went into each house. As soon as they entered the house, Qin Huai closed the doors and windows again, turned on the air conditioner, and then asked: "Don't care about people?"

He now knows that all the things that Jiang Xuan told him about Mu Nan before were false, so Mu Nan who grew up alone may not be what he thought, lively and cheerful, enthusiastic and active, with many friends.

In front of him, Mu Nan, apart from being a little more mature and sensible than before, has not changed much, but people always have several sides, the side with relatives, the side with friends, school, workplace, each is different, he can't just Based on Mu Nan's appearance in front of him, one can speculate on his life alone these years. Just looking at it now, he can see that even the neighbors next door to him are completely unfamiliar, as if he has never seen him before, and he can tell that his Mu Nan has nothing to do with the words lively and enthusiastic.

Mu Nan thought that Qin Huai was preaching to him, and felt that it was impolite for him not to greet his neighbors, so he made an excuse with little confidence: "Other people didn't take the initiative to greet me, and I will definitely respond to those who greeted me. I can never see If you are in the elevator together, you can talk to people, and I am very mentally involved in comics. Every day I think about the plot and my hair is going to be bald. Sometimes I will get some inspiration when I am walking and listening to music. Naturally, it is more Ignore the people and things around you."

What Qin Huai thought was, the sweet-mouthed Mu Nan when he was a child, the Mu Nan who would call everyone uncle and aunt, but now, Mu Nan who doesn't know anyone in the neighborhood.

Seeing Mu Nan carefully sizing up his expression, Qin Huai pinched him on the face amusedly: "I don't blame you, if you're a familiar person who happily chats with everyone, then I'll ask Headache."

Mu Nan rubbed the pinched face: "Then why are you acting like a teacher asking for a crime, scaring me to death."

Qin Huai didn't continue this topic with him, took out a change of clothes from the cabinet, and pushed him into the bathroom: "Eat barbecue or what?"

Mu Nan said: "Grill, you can order a little more, and you can put the space if you can't finish it."

Hearing Qin Huai's answer, Mu Nan went into the bathroom, closed the door, looked at himself in the mirror, and couldn't help but sighed softly.

After a good night's rest, if there were not so many things to do, Mu Nan would have been too lazy to get out of bed. Although the temperature has not yet started to rise sharply, the heat is still very hot. He bought a lot of heat insulation things, some are pasted on the window glass, some are installed outside the window glass to block sunlight, and some are placed inside the house to block light. For temperature insulation, try to isolate the inner and outer third floors from the sun, so that even if there is a power outage and the air conditioner cannot be used in the future, you can still use a generator to generate electricity. The generator cannot drive such a powerful air conditioner, but it is still possible to drive an air conditioner fan .

Block part of the high temperature exposure, and then use the air conditioner to cool down. Even if it is not as cool as the air conditioner, at least it will not be unbearably hot. Once the temperature is blocked, the temperature in the house can be reduced to at least 30 degrees. If it is really It's too hot, and the air conditioner can't cool it down. Mu Nan also prepared an inflatable swimming pool this time. Even the water is stored in the space. If the heat is unbearable, then he and Qin Huai will soak in the water to cool down. Strive to achieve the goal of not getting too hot without going out!

Seeing Mu Nan who was about to do a big job, Qin Huai said helplessly: "First put the film on, and the thermal insulation curtain inside the house can be installed, but the thermal insulation baffle outside the glass is not installed for now, it will be too conspicuous. If someone in the future If we install something to block the sun outside, we will install it, and before others install it, we can’t make such a big fuss.”

Mu Nan thought so too, with such strict protection in advance, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of interested people: "Well, let's put the film on a few windows today, and the windows on your side as well. The window is too crispy, and I'm afraid it will explode due to the high temperature, so if it can be a little warmer, just keep it a little longer."

Qin Huai said: "You post it slowly at home, I have locked all the windows, you have to be careful when you stand on the table to post, you can't open the windows, do you hear me?"

Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai: "I posted it by myself, so what are you going to do?"

Qin Huai: "Go and see the icehouse."

"Ice storage?"

Qin Huai said: "I checked, and it's in season now, so ice cubes are quite popular, and the price is on the high side, about three to five hundred a ton. I think renting an icehouse and buying some ice, the heat is really unbearable. There is no way to generate electricity, so I put a few big ice cubes at home to cool down."

Mu Nan blinked. He also thought about ice cubes, but he didn't think about buying ice cubes. What he wanted was to wait until winter and use the low temperature outside to make ice cubes and store them, so that they could be used next summer. After all, saving a little is a little bit. If Qin Huai hadn't mentioned it now, he wouldn't have realized that they have money now, so they don't have to be so picky.
