Chapter 312
"Then you must be careful about acid rain. No matter where you go, be sure to carry important supplies with you, especially acid rain protection gear."
Meng Mingyue glanced at Zhou Shuwan, then lowered her voice and said, "Actually, I heard that the higher-ups have been researching a very convenient acid rain-proof suit."
Zhou Shuwan was not surprised. After all, they had even developed air-conditioning suits that were comparable to aviation suits, so it wouldn't be difficult to develop more convenient acid rain-proof suits.
I just don't know why it hasn't become popular after so long.
Meng Mingyue lowered her voice even more. "It's just that things are in chaos up there now, with several major factions fighting for territory, so these supplies haven't been distributed."
Zhou Shuwan frowned.
In her previous life, she had always lived at the bottom of society and had no idea about this news.
However, if you think about it carefully, you will know that the government's credibility is getting weaker and weaker, and the military's voice is getting higher and higher. However, there is an extreme shortage of supplies in the end times, so it is normal for several major forces to fight for weapons, territory and supplies.
"We are far away from each other and it has nothing to do with us. Now that we have cut off contact with each other, we can only take care of ourselves." Meng Mingyue continued.
Zhou Shuwan pulled her aside and started talking about other things. "Mingyue, I have one more favor to ask of you. I've already told Xiao Xiao about it, but I'm afraid he'll forget it once he's busy there. Go to the new base and help us look for new residential communities. Money isn't a problem. The closer to the city center, the better. They should have individual entrances and exits, or perhaps rooftops with solar panels."
Meng Mingyue nodded seriously: "Okay, I know what you mean. Don't worry, if I go there, I will definitely seek benefits for our own people."
Zhou Shuwan thanked him, thought for a moment, and then said, "There are also small-sized houses with good value for money. Please help me look for a few in the same building. My second uncle, third aunt, and cousins all have a good relationship with each other. Even though it's the end of the world, we've always kept in touch. If I want to move, I'll naturally have to ask them."
However, given their family conditions, they would definitely buy a small apartment and would not buy a villa with its own door and yard.
Meng Mingyue herself didn't have any good relatives, so she was envious when she heard this: "Your relatives are all good."
She had met Uncle Zhong II and Aunt Zhong III, and felt that they were true elders who did not need help from relatives and could stand on their own feet. They could also help each other from time to time.
She and Xiao Xiao are not as lucky as Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu.
Because I stocked up on sanitary products with Meng Mingyue, I owe her a favor.
Therefore, the next time Zhou Shuwan went to look for supplies, he specifically asked Meng Mingyue and Zhang Jia to go.
She now tends to look for energy and minerals when looking for supplies.
While searching for iron ore, they discovered a warehouse containing hundreds of coal stoves made of thick iron sheets and many exhaust pipes.
Zhou Shuwan took away two-thirds of the coal stoves and exhaust pipes, and took Meng Mingyue and Zhang Jia to collect the rest.
The two were very surprised.
Zhang Jia was deeply impressed by the video he had seen. He whispered, "I saw a very popular video online saying that after the acid rain disaster, extreme cold would follow. I don't know if it's true or not!"
Meng Mingyue was in the army and had heard more news than Zhang Jia: "Whether it's true or not, let's keep these things. We can always exchange them for supplies in the future."
"Correct!"
Zhou Shuwan's car was used to transport the goods. After he went to the hospital and scrapped the off-road vehicle and dumped it there, Zhou Shuwan took out another off-road vehicle from the space, which was fortunately the same size as the previous one.
Qi Mingyu then installed tires and generators made of new materials.
Even if the exterior is deliberately worn down a bit, no one will notice any difference from before.
Coal briquettes stoves can be loaded with large or small briquettes, and they are not too heavy for three people to lift together.
It's just more laborious.
Meng Mingyue panted heavily, then looked at Zhou Shuwan: "Are you afraid that Xiaoyu will come and give him an extra share of supplies, so you never call him!"
Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "It's his turn to be on duty at the community gate today, so he can't come. Besides, my dad and grandma need someone to take care of them at home, so they can't leave."
Meng Mingyue gave her a look of displeasure and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
How could she and Zhang Jia not understand?
Zhou Shuwan deliberately did not bring Qi Mingyu with him both times because people now distribute supplies based on the number of people and labor force. If Qi Mingyu, who is in his prime, is brought in, he will do more work and get more supplies.
Qi Mingyu followed, and she and Zhang Jia definitely couldn't let each other suffer.
But if the other party divided it, the two of them would get less.
Therefore, when women and men go together to look for supplies, they will always suffer a loss due to physical strength.
More than a hundred coal briquette stoves were loaded onto a truck, and the pipes were also moved on.
The three of them were sweating profusely.
Zhou Shuwan sat there gasping for breath.
Meng Mingyue said, "Wanwan drove here, and I'll drive back."
Her physical strength was the best among the three, so Zhou Shuwan did not refuse.
As for where to place the coal stove.
Zhang Jia and Meng Mingyue naturally had their own ideas.
Meng Mingyue said to Zhou Shuwan, "Wanwan, there are a total of 135 coal stoves here. Between the three of us, we can each get 25 of them, depending on the size. I plan to take this opportunity to bring them directly to the new base."
Zhang Jia also said: "Me too."
Zhou Shuwan was a little surprised: "Mingyue, are you planning to go to the new base too?"
Zhang Jia nodded. "I've been a hired employee in the security team for a while now, not a regular employee. My salary and benefits are lower than those of regular employees. But if I go to the new base with them this time, my benefits will be upgraded. I think it's a good opportunity."
Meng Mingyue also said, "When I asked her the other day, Zhang Jia thought about it and said she wanted to go too. I think she's right. The new base is in urgent need of manpower, and the first few batches going there will definitely be able to grab an advantage. If it weren't for your entire family being unable to leave, I really want to persuade you to come with us."
Zhou Shuwan knew that the opportunity she was talking about was a promotion and salary increase, and occupying a certain leadership position in the new base.
But neither she nor Qi Mingyu were interested in this.
In this life, they just want to stay with their families and spend the end of the world together in peace and happiness.
After they returned, Meng Mingyue called a few brothers from the security team to help move the coal stove away.
There were also a few convoys among the people who went this time, and they stuffed some coal stoves in the cars, which were not worth much.
After Zhou Shuwan said goodbye to them, she immersed herself in her family affairs again.
Because they had already decided to exchange their own chicken eggs and goose eggs.
Grandma Pang and Zhong Tiyun have been working hard to feed the chickens and geese on the top floor recently.
In addition to the daily canned pet food, you must also add some offal and chop it up together to feed it.
The chickens laid eggs more frequently.
