Irresponsible Extra (8) (Going to the Parallel Disaster Time and Space (VIII)...)
Early in the morning, people in the Zhongzhou underground base had already gotten up.
The first thing they do after getting up is not to wash and eat, but to open the door and go to the central hall of their community.
Like everyone else, Ai Xingxing ran to the central hall as soon as he got up. Their community is quite large. It is said that there are more than 500 families living in it. Although a large family like Ai Xingxing lives together There are relatively few, but it still shows how many people there are in their community.
So it's important to rush to the Central Hall every morning to watch the morning news.
Otherwise, if you get there too late and can’t get close enough to see the scene, you’ll have to prick up your ears and try your best to rely on your hearing.
Ai Xingxing is small and moves very fast, so her family basically sends her to listen. Today, she still won the honor of [front row of the central hall].
At half past five in the morning, the huge TV series hanging in front of the central hall lit up on time.
"Today's morning broadcast, UV index...sand level...feeling temperature...visibility..."
A series of data were reported directly without any foreshadowing, and the people guarding the central hall were already used to this, and everyone was taking out pens and paper to record it carefully.
This data directly affects whether their lives are in danger when they go out, and can also ensure that they know which direction to take shelter in an emergency.
Ai Xingxing quickly recorded various data, and used his thin body to shuttle among the crowd and left the central hall. When he got home, the whole family was already busy.
Ai Xingxing's family is one of the largest families in the base.
This family has four rare generations: ancestors, grandparents, parents, uncles and aunts, and the youngest generation like Ai Xingxing.
I heard that they were celebrating their ancestor’s birthday when the natural disaster occurred. Later, they relied on the food saved by their ancestors to survive the crisis. Later, the national army found them and took them back to the underground base. After that, their family Have always lived together.
Ancestors and grandparents are responsible for taking care of the family and doing some odd jobs. Although they don't earn many points, they are better than nothing.
Parents, uncles, aunts, and cousins over the age of sixteen take turns working in the farm, hunting mutant beasts, and picking up "trash" from before the disaster. Occasionally, if you are lucky, you may be able to exchange points.
Ai Xingxing is sixteen years old. Before today, her greatest contribution to the family was to go to the central hall every morning to record today's data. For this reason, the elders would give her an extra piece of cake as big as half a finger for breakfast every day.
Ai Xingxing, who was born after the natural disaster, is very satisfied with this small piece of cake. She will cherish it every time she gets it and sometimes share it with her younger brothers and sisters.
Today when Zuzu was dividing the biscuits, he gave her an extra piece of biscuit that was as big as a whole finger. Zuzu looked at her lovingly and took it in surprise before telling her:
"Xingxing, you go out with your parents today."
She knew that going out would be life-threatening. Many of their neighbors never came back after going out, and their big family had also lost three relatives in the past twenty years.
But she wasn't afraid, and was even vaguely looking forward to it.
Because going out to work represents a high risk, it also means that she has become a labor force in the family. When food is distributed in the future, she will be treated the same as her parents, so that she will not suddenly wake up hungry in the middle of the night.
After breakfast, Ai Xingxing was fully armed, put on his hat, wrapped the cloth around his mouth and nose, picked up the stick and followed the elders out.
Like them, many people braved the wind and sand to go out for action. Everyone had to hurry up early, otherwise they would not have returned to the base by noon. The wind and sand would stop, but people who were exposed to the sun would become dehydrated in just a few dozen minutes. In the past, many people suffered from dehydration due to He died of dehydration outside the base and was shown on the morning news so many times that everyone is now paying attention to it.
When Ai Xingxing and the others were queuing up, they saw a column of troops marching to the front in unison. They also had to go out to perform a mission.
The old man who was protected in the middle of the army wore a mask. He was startled when his eyes glanced at Ai Xingxing. Then he put away his eyes and continued to move forward.
The Zhongzhou base has preserved vehicles, but resources cannot be mined now. In order to save resources, even people like them who perform important tasks have to brave the wind and sand to go to the cultivation base step by step.
After walking like this for more than an hour, a group of talents finally arrived at the training base.
The oxygen level here is not enough to support too many people, so they must finish today's work before half past ten and then return to the underground base on foot.
Picked too high? "
It’s already hard enough for his assistants to collect food subsidies, and with the subsidies for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, we can’t support more. "
The old man also knew that what he said was right. Thinking of the child who just met at the gate of the base wearing a scarf and still looking immature, he sighed, forced himself to forget these things, and settled down to work seriously.
As long as food production keeps up, these difficulties will be overcome.
However, after the natural disaster day, the food production was half dead. In addition, the backward technology could not provide more. No matter how hard they tried, they only increased the production a little in the end.
The group of people worked until half past ten. When the time came, they immediately stopped and re-wrapped themselves tightly and set foot on the sandy road.
At half past eleven, the wind and sand gradually stopped as usual, and the sun hung high, as if it was trying to bake everyone below who was working hard to live.
People covered in sand and wrapped tightly with only their eyes exposed walked with difficulty in the desert. Occasionally, they passed by some ruins that were almost turned over.
Who could tell that there were houses here.
The plane of Blue Star Zhongzhou began to descend at this time.
They had arrived a long time ago, but the ground was covered with wind and sand before, and the plane could only hover at high altitude. Now they finally found an opportunity, and they immediately began to slowly descend.
The situation in Zhongzhou of Water Blue Star was worse than expected. The disaster here was more serious. There was almost no place on the ground that had not been eroded. It seemed that there was no platform for the plane to land.
Although the plane of Zhongzhou was not affected by the landing surface, the main problem was that this point was when everyone was rushing back to the base, and there were people everywhere.
The plane could only hover at low altitude, looking for an uninhabited sandy land to land, and they really found a huge open space left.
This was obviously reserved for the plane to land. I don’t know if Zhongzhou of Water Blue Star is also planning to return to the sky.
Several planes flew in that direction with a clear goal.
The loud noise of the plane flying low also attracted the crowd walking towards the base.
They all looked up, but they couldn't see anything because of the foggy sky.
Ai Xingxing said: "It's a bit like the sound of the plane played on TV."
Her parents were also a little unsure, after all, they hadn't seen a plane for more than 20 years.
When ordinary people who didn't understand the situation looked up at the sky to try to find out what the sound was, the tower inside the underground base, which had never been activated since it was set up and even left only one staff member to guard it, was urgently activated.
And the most shocking thing was that there was actually a response.
Everyone who could get to the base rushed there as quickly as possible.
The device that hadn't sounded for more than 20 years actually made a sound while everyone was holding their breath and waiting:
"Sizzle - request to land - sizzle -"
