Chapter 64:
Soon the Daniu family knew that a doctor came back from the next door, but they didn\'t say anything, although they still felt that the other party was at risk of being infected. After all, the medical staff on the other side of the medical tent were in the center of the patients, and they were also at risk of infection. Some of the most at-risk people, but now that they are back, they are kicked out just because he has rescued people and had contact with patients. This is something that Daniel can’t do, but he is still a little scared, so he dare not go out casually No, even if there was some movement outside, he wouldn\'t easily open the door to check.
After two or three days of turmoil, their building finally returned to calm. Those who could live in basically lived there, and those who couldn\'t live in couldn\'t help it. It\'s just that Qin Huai and Yu Zibai\'s house turned on the air conditioner, which was still caught by the upstairs. The ones downstairs were found, mainly in Jian Chu’s house. The air conditioners in their house are installed on the balcony. The upstairs and downstairs houses have no closed balconies. As long as they are in the living room, they will hear some sounds, especially now. It was so quiet outside that the sound was even more obvious.
In the past two days, someone has been wandering around on their floor to look inside. If the anti-theft door was not installed in the stairwell, they would have come to knock on the door directly. Wanting to borrow electricity, they originally thought that because they lived close to each other, it would be a very simple matter to pull an extra power board from the window. At worst, they would give some food or water. If they wanted money, it would be even easier. Money Or they also have gold at home, as long as it is connected to a plug-in board so that the family can use an electric fan, it is fine, but unfortunately both Yu Zibai and Qin Huai directly refused, there is no room for negotiation.
Yu Zibai was quite talkative, and he explained in a good voice, that it is not easy for them to send some electricity, and there is really no way to load too much, and if one responds, there will be a second one, and they will come to the door and they will ask again. How to refuse.
The people who live above Yu Zibai\'s house are also tenants. They used to do business here, and they used to be a bit calculating in everything they did. Seeing that Yu Zibai seemed to be quite talkative, he said, "You turn off the air conditioner at home. Yes, it’s not impossible to live with a fan, and then sell electricity, sell a battery’s electricity for a bottle of water or a little food, it’s enough for a person without electricity, if there is no food or water, how will this person live If you go down, you will warm up a little bit, but if you change the food and water, you can stay at home with more peace of mind and never leave the door."
Yu Zibai didn\'t want to waste any time talking with others: "Sorry, don\'t knock on the door anymore, we won\'t sell electricity."
As a result, this person hadn\'t left yet, another family came down from upstairs, probably because they heard the commotion here, and thought that if there were more people talking together, they might be able to get a bargain. The family that came down lived in Qinhuai\'s house Upstairs, the air conditioner in Qin Huai’s house is installed on the patio side. In fact, you can’t hear much movement in the house, but the environment is too quiet now. As long as you listen carefully, the hum of the air conditioner A bit of hum can still be heard. Maybe only these two households in the whole building have electricity. They live close to each other. It would be better if they could be near the water tower.
"Whose family owns your generator? Why do you two have electricity? You don\'t sell electricity. You call the kid from the Qin family for us and ask him if he can do it. How many years have we been old neighbors?" , I watched the kid from the Qin family grow up, for one more wiring board, we just need to give him more food."
Yu Zibai frowned, and didn\'t want to continue talking, turned around and prepared to go back, but the family refused to let go, and even picked up an iron rod they didn\'t know where, and knocked on the anti-theft door they installed.
Just as Yu Zibai wanted to persuade them not to do this, Qin Huai who was next door opened the door and came out, but before he could speak, Qin Huai directly opened the anti-theft door, and before the people outside could speak, he kicked the person who knocked loudly just now He opened it, and the crossbow in his hand was pressed against his head: "The old neighbor gave you shame? If you reject a good word once, you should know what is enough. The electricity belongs to my house. If you have the ability, you can go to the ruins to dig a set." Generator back, why should I wrong myself for the sake of you so-called old neighbors when I got something with my own ability? We don’t use air conditioners, so we save electricity for your use? Such a big face? I hear the noise outside again, you Whichever hand strikes, I will shoot through your hand!"
The man was really startled, he didn\'t expect Qin Huai to react so strongly, he stepped back several steps after being kicked, when the membrane cloth was installed downstairs, Qin Huai generously gave them the remaining membrane cloth, Originally, they thought that although the electricity was rare, they should not have too many, Qin Huai would be soft-hearted if he begged twice, but he didn\'t expect Qin Huai to do it directly.
But decades of worldview made him feel that Qin Huai would definitely not hurt people with his hands. This thing is probably used to bluff people. Even though the kick just now made people feel angry, but in order to be able to use the electricity, he endured it: "We just want to borrow some electricity, and it\'s not that we won\'t give you a reward. You\'ve called me my uncle for so many years. It\'s really hot in this weather without electricity at home. If you have the ability, help everyone."
Qin Huai chuckled lightly when he heard this, and shot directly from the skin of his neck with the crossbow in his hand, the head of the shot hit the wall with a ding. The stabbing pain in the neck made the person who spoke just now turn pale with fright, his legs softened and he sat on the ground, Qin Huai walked over to pick up the shooting head: "Want to try the taste of this thing sticking into the meat? Or I will go Get some blood from the patient downstairs, use the blood to soak this thing, and then come to greet you?"
As Qin Huai spoke, he pointed the crossbow at the household above Yu Zibai\'s house, and the businessman quickly shook his hands and head: "I didn\'t knock it, I, I don\'t want the electricity." , I don’t know who it is, but there is such a thing in the house. It’s not bad to have a hammer in the house.
Qin Huai glanced at the people on the ground, went straight back to the corridor, and closed the iron gate again.
Yu Zibai felt that Qin Huai seemed a little too irritable today, but before he could ask any more questions, Qin Huai went home and closed the door.
Yu Zibai looked at the frightened and foolish uncle, couldn\'t help sighing, but turned around and went home without saying anything, at this time, if he wanted to make trouble in the face of his old neighbor, wouldn\'t that be courting death?
Qin Huai returned to the house, wiped his hands with a disinfectant paper towel, then returned to the bed, looked at Mu Nan who had a fever-reducing sticker on his forehead, and covered him with a blanket. The air conditioner in the house was turned on very high. It’s already a bit hot for him, but it should be just right for someone with a fever. Turning it off all the time won’t work. It’s too hot. He already has a high body temperature.
Mu Nan opened his eyes and looked at Qin Huai, Qin Huai patted him lightly on the back: "It\'s all right, go to sleep, don\'t make any noise."
Mu Nan groaned, hugged the pillow and closed her eyes. Although she may not be able to fall asleep, she still has a headache when she opens her eyes. It\'s better to close her eyes, maybe she will fall asleep.
Qin Huai looked at the time, took another piece of anti-fever sticker from the refrigerator and put it on for him. Fortunately, Mu Nan just had a little fever, and there was no other discomfort. Seeing that Mu Nan didn\'t want to get up lazily after waking up, he was so sleepy that he didn\'t have any energy. He didn\'t even notice that Mu Nan had a fever.
Looking at Mu Nan who had no blood on his lips, Qin Huai said: "I promised that I will be fine, tell me if you feel any discomfort, if you tell me when you have a headache yesterday, you can take some medicine to suppress it, say It might not even burn."
Mu Nan closed her eyes and muttered, "Then I thought it was just that I didn\'t sleep well."
Qin Huai: "Does your head still hurt?"
Mu Nan hummed, Qin Huai told him not to sleep on his side: "Lie here, I will press for you for a while."
Mu Nan slowly moved back onto the pillow, and Qin Huai\'s cool fingertips gently massaged his temples, which did relieve a little bit, Mu Nan didn\'t want to make Qin Huai worry by acting sickly and listless, so Looking for something to say: "Did someone come outside to ask for electricity just now?"
Qin Huai hummed: "Sent away, don\'t worry."
Mu Nan said: "Aren\'t we a bit ostentatious? Everyone else is so hot that we can still use the air conditioner. They won\'t gather to grab it?"
Qin Huai: "Not really, how many people do you need to gather together, and how will you divide them up after they are robbed? There is absolutely no chance, but in a place like ours, it is unlikely. Don\'t worry, and it won\'t be soon. Will it connect the electricity, even if it is only for a few hours a day, the generator in our house will not be too conspicuous."
Mu Nan thought of an idol drama he watched when he was very young, and suddenly said, "Brother, it\'s still summer now."
Qin Huai smiled lightly: "Could it be winter when it\'s so hot?"
Mu Nan: "That TV show said that people who catch a cold in summer are idiots."
Qin Huai smiled: "So are you an idiot?"
Mu Nan: "I don\'t know how the screenwriter came up with this line. It\'s normal to catch a cold in summer. It\'s hot and cold."
Qin Huai: "It\'s probably a word that I racked my brain to think of words without words, just like you now, you don\'t want to talk and you have to find something to say."
Mu Nan snorted, hugged the pillow, turned around, and fell asleep on the side of the bed, far away from Qin Huai.
The medicine Qin Huai gave Mu Nan contained certain sleeping ingredients, so Mu Nan fell asleep after a while, and when he woke up, it was almost dawn, and Mu Nan was tossing and turning on the bed. It\'s all messed up, and when people get sick, it gets even more messy.
But he didn\'t lie on the bed for a long time before he was pulled up by Qin Huai: "Eat something before going to bed, and take your temperature."
Qin Huai used a mercury thermometer for Mu Nan, which was more accurate than electronic ones. When Mu Nan was holding the thermometer, Qin Huai was cooking noodles and cut a tomato in it to make soup base. Spreading out, Mu Nan said: "There are many noodles in the space, just take out a bowl, why bother to cook it yourself, look at your hot head sweating."
Qin Huai: "Those are bought from outside. They are heavy in salt. You should eat them lightly."
Mu Nan: "It\'s too bland and I don\'t want to eat it. I have no taste in my mouth, but I still want to eat bland food. I think this is a paradox. The more sick you are, the more you have to eat to stimulate your appetite."
Qin Huai glanced at him, and did not accept his unreasonable criticism.
While the noodles were cooking in the pot, he looked at the time and checked the thermometer, it was thirty-seven degrees: "Does your head still hurt?"
Mu Nan shook her head: "It doesn\'t hurt anymore, it\'s just a little boring."
Qin Huai: "The fever has just gone, it\'s normal to be bored. After eating the noodles, take the medicine and go to sleep, it will be fine when you wake up. See if you are still greedy for cold, sit under the air conditioner and blow."
Mu Nan didn\'t say anything, feeling guilty.
There was no body bag, and the corpses cleaned up from the ruins were transported to the corpse burning site by blood-stained trailers that could not see the color. The place where the corpses were burnt was previously divided and demolished. The flat land was used as a parking lot for a period of time because no buildings were built. Later, the temperature was too high. Even if the car was not on the road during the day, it would be so hot that it would explode if it was parked in the open air. Gradually, no one dared to leave the car. Stopped at the place where there was no shade at all, and now that piece of open space has become a corpse burning ground, the burning of corpses is too wasteful of fuel, even if it is not too short of wood now, from the ruins There can be a carload of wood if you pull it out casually, but there are too many corpses to burn, so they can only be burned one by one.
As for the identities of those who died, there is no condition to investigate now. We can only wait for this disaster to survive and do a census before we can figure out how many people died in this disaster in their city.
Just last night, the military headquarters had contacted the headquarters via satellite phone, but the news they got made people\'s blood go cold. It wasn\'t just their province that was hit by the earthquake. What we know so far is that there are no people in their hemisphere. As soon as they survived, many small countries even disappeared directly in the earthquake. As for the other hemispheres, because they haven\'t made contact yet, they can\'t be sure, but obviously the situation will not be too good.
In their country, no province or city was spared, so there was no rescue. Some cities near the sea not only had to rescue the earthquake, but even encountered a tsunami. Those who survived the earthquake with difficulty did not escape the tsunami. What\'s more, because of the sudden attack of the tsunami, they didn\'t even have time to rescue them. Those who were crushed under the ruins finally drowned in the rising sea water with no escape.
They are really lucky in comparison, at least there is only high temperature, but it gives them relaxation at night, and thinking about the city that is currently suffering from a tsunami, that is the real despair.
There will be no outside assistance, and the next thing can only be done by ourselves. The government and the army began to control the overall situation of the entire city. The first thing is population migration, and the surviving people should be moved away from densely populated places as much as possible. Otherwise, when the plague begins to rage, no one can escape.
At the beginning, the cities around the provinces and cities were transferred, because they were close to the outer ring, on the national highway, and in the villages with few people. Try to avoid the populated areas as much as possible, but those who live in the city center have no choice for the time being, and the roads are blocked. , unless there is a large vehicle leveling a road, it can only be left by human legs, but in such a hot day, there are only a few hours at night, and it is obviously impossible for all survivors to migrate on foot at present, so living Those in the center of the urban area can only survive on their own.
However, the surrounding cities try their best to transport medicines to the urban center. After all, they hid out, which can be regarded as saving a little medical supplies. The urban center is now in a semi-autonomous isolation state. People who have left should try their best to keep safe , so the city cannot be infected with the virus, but it is impossible for the people in the city to give up. There are millions of people. How to schedule people, only hope that half of the population will survive in the end.
Mu Nan and the others live on the seventeenth floor, which is considered high-rise, but according to Jian Chu, they can faintly smell some rancid smell at home, which is not very obvious, but if you smell it carefully, it does exist. Mu Nan didn\'t smell it much, but people\'s facial features are different. Some people have a particularly developed sense of smell, some have good vision, and some have a keen sense of hearing. Mu Nan thinks that maybe Jian Chu is a person with a well-developed sense of smell. Like him, it should be considered that the sixth sense is stronger than ordinary people, and it can be regarded as a specialty to some extent.
Xu Ming intends to lock himself at home for at least ten days and avoid all contact with the outside world during these ten days. Because Jian Chu and his family live relatively close to Xu Ming, they are worried that no one will know that Xu Ming is sick and dead at home, so every day Appoint a time to knock on the wall, if there is a response, it means that you are still alive, if there is no response, even if you have to break into the door to dispose of the corpse.
Qin Huai and the others upstairs never came again after the last warning and threat. As for how they arranged to curse Qin Huai behind the scenes, only they knew. And Qin Huai downstairs is a teacher, and the grandson of that teacher had also come up before, asking if he could buy some electricity from their house and take a wire board downstairs, but Qin Huai refused, and after he refused, he never came again, nor I don\'t know if the teacher who is supposed to be in his seventies this year is still around, anyway, I only see his grandson so far.
Since Jian Chu said that he smelled rancid, Qin Huai disinfected his home every day, directly diluted the disinfectant water and wiped the floor, and then regularly disinfected his home with an ozone disinfector for an hour. But if the home environment is cleaned up, the possibility of provoking those snakes, insects, rats and ants is much lower.
Those who live upstairs are fine, just be careful and pay attention to sanitation, some wall gaps and holes are blocked as much as possible, the situation is much better than those who live downstairs.
Residents on the lower floors had also thought about whether they could escape the plague when the dead bodies piled up outside, and when they turned their heads and saw a large pile of ruins instead of an open space. , but even if they live on the third floor of the lowest floor, because the first and second floors are unoccupied on the platform, it is better than living in the camp closest to the medical tents, so they can only try to completely seal the doors and windows of the house, and the rest It depends on God\'s will.
And those who changed houses with others in order not to climb such a tall building, now the rancid smell is surging, as if the air is full of germs that can kill people, and it will be too late to regret it. They thought, The fifth and sixth floors are not too short. The highest buildings without elevators in other places are only the seventh floor. Others can endure it even if they close the door carefully. It is better than having to climb stairs for something. Especially in some emergencies, the chances of escaping are also higher if you live at a low level.
As a result, the people in the community finally used the solar energy sent from above to power the elevators. Those who changed houses completely regretted it. The biggest reason for changing houses before was that they didn’t want to climb stairs in the heat without water or electricity. The temperature was too high. It was too high to climb the stairs, but now the power supply is on, that is to say, as long as they are careful, they can take the elevator upstairs with the materials they found from the ruins at any time, without having to endure the pain of climbing the stairs.
They don\'t know how many people changed houses to Qinhuai, and they don\'t know how many people changed houses and regretted it. After all, the communication was cut off, and the information they can get now is only the three-acre land in front of their house, but the Zhang family regretted it. They knew it, because the next day after the elevator was powered on, the four members of Zhang\'s family made a fuss.
The old lady of the Zhang family is in good spirits. I don’t know whether they escaped unharmed because they had just returned from the cold supply point at the time of the earthquake, or they ran downstairs with the chaotic crowd. If it was the latter, then This grandma Zhang is really in good health. In her previous life, Mu Nan almost died running down the stairs. For such an old person, she is still alive and well at the moment. She is really better than most young people, at least better than Mu Nan who just had a cold is much stronger.
There is an anti-theft door in the stairwell, which prevented them from a lot of trouble before. Now that the elevator is opened, it will be much easier to go up. After all, there is no way to install another anti-theft door at the elevator door, so the people of the Zhang family have no obstacles up.
Mu Nan was sitting on the bed eating watermelon at that time, when he heard the sound of the long-lost elevator, the spoon holding the watermelon couldn\'t help shaking, a lump of watermelon meat fell on the bed, smashing the watermelon juice all over his legs: "Tsk, so It\'s a perfect piece of meat, it\'s fine, you can still eat it when you pick it up."
Qin Huai didn\'t stop it in time, seeing Mu Nan pick it up and eat it, he said helplessly, "I just wiped it with disinfectant water, aren\'t you afraid of being poisoned to death?"
Mu Nan: "Didn\'t the poison be killed by the disinfectant?"
Qin Huai: "...You always have a lot of fallacies."
Mu Nan took it for granted: "Why don\'t you throw it away? What a waste, and it\'s not that you can\'t eat it. Did the elevator on our floor just rang? Did the elevator restore power?"
Qin Huai threw a paper towel for him to wipe the watermelon juice on his legs and bed, went outside and looked through the cat\'s eyes, then went into the house and closed the door: "The Zhang family is here."
Mu Nan: "Oh, it looks like there\'s going to be a quarrel, but I don\'t know if the husband and wife will quarrel like Zhang\'s family."
