The crisis of food shortage was imminent. Without further delay, Xun Ye and Song Qi immediately mobilized their men to dig tunnels. Shovels, shovels, sledgehammers, crowbars, baskets and other tools were all readily available. Strong men took turns to dig tunnels. When going into battle, as a reward for working hard, in addition to two "full" meals, there was also a can of beer or a cup of rice wine to relieve fatigue every day. The real materials were not mixed with water, which greatly boosted morale.
It took a lot of effort at the beginning. The reinforced concrete exterior wall was smashed out with a sledgehammer. There was no trick. Once it was deep into the soil, it became more labor-intensive. There was no rock layer blocking the road and a shovel. The crowbars and crowbars were very powerful, enough to solve most problems. They smoothly dug out a tunnel with a diameter of about two meters, which was either square or round, and extended for twenty or thirty meters to the east. Xunye conducted on-site inspections several times. To be cautious, in order to avoid "collapse of the roof" of the tunnel, he decided to add an extra process and reinforce it with blister boards at regular intervals to ensure that it was foolproof.
According to the map, it is almost time to open up the underground garage of Wanxiang Yayuan, but the end of the tunnel is still a thick layer of soil, which is compacted very tightly. It takes time and labor to advance every foot. Xun Ye felt something was wrong. He found an old resident of Wanxiang Yayuan and asked in detail about the location of the underground garage. It turned out that the community had a mix of small high-rises and multi-storeys. In order to save construction costs, the parking lot was placed next to the high-rise buildings and was built side by side. Not big. He corrected the tunnel in time, turned a corner, and started working in the northeast direction. He soon encountered a concrete exterior wall. Judging from its position, behind the wall was the underground garage of Wanxiang Yayuan.
The second battle began, with the sledgehammer again and the crowbar assisting. However, the space in the tunnel was limited and could not be used. It took a lot of effort to break through the outer wall and open a half-man-high tunnel. The hole was so dark inside that nothing could be seen clearly. The three big guys discussed it, and Xun Ye sat in the rear, while Zhou Ji, Song Qi, Sima Yang, Zhao Zongxuan, Yue Zhilan, and Shi Ben went to explore the road first to find out the situation before making the next plan.
Sima Yang and Zhao Zongxuan followed Zhou Ji closely, but he followed his lead. Yue Zhilan had already guessed his identity and wanted to hug the thick thigh tightly, but he was half a beat too slow and failed to squeeze in. I felt a little regretful. Zhou Ji turned on the hand-operated emergency light, walked along the tunnel to the end, and looked at the underground garage of Wanxiang Yayuan. The light seemed to be swallowed up by darkness and could not reach far. The garage was filled with the smell of death, and several people were lying on the ground. There was a frozen corpse, and it was impossible to distinguish between male and female.
Zhou Ji walked through the hole and stepped into the garage. Cold wind came in through the gap, snow powder was flying, the temperature was very low everywhere, and there were bodies of men, women, and children in every parked car. With water, electricity and gas cut off, they were desperate and couldn't bear the cold. The whole family huddled together and used the car air conditioner to keep warm. As a result, they ran out of gas, were cold and hungry, and couldn't wake up. Witnessing these scenes of human tragedy, Song Qi couldn't bear it, and a thought suddenly broke into his mind. In the same desperate situation, they were unable to survive without a strong man like Xun Ye, and they set foot on the road to hell together early.
Zhou Ji checked around the garage and found no survivors.He gestured for everyone to follow him, climbed up the corridor to a small high-rise building, and forcefully opened the security door of Room 101. There is no one inside. It seems to be a family of three. The living room, master bedroom, children's room, and study room all have a Nordic style. The decoration is low-key and luxurious. It looks like a wealthy person. Zhou Ji glanced at it and asked Song Qi to pack some thick and warm bedding and clothes. Then he walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator cabinet, and found frozen fish, bags of rice, and vacuum-packed ham, all untouched. Poor, stupid, useless people who only know how to eat biscuits and instant noodles and hide in cars to blow on the air conditioner. Wouldn't they split furniture to make a fire to keep warm and cook to satisfy their hunger?
Sima Yang and Zhao Zongxuan emptied the kitchen, and everyone returned to the living room and piled up the available supplies. One household alone had so much harvest, how many households were there in the entire Wanxiang Yayuan? They exchanged glances with relaxed and hopeful expressions. Zhou Ji then pried open the cupboards in the living room and study room and found a lot of tobacco, wine and tea. It seemed that the male owner was a somewhat powerful little boss, and those who asked him to do things were very filial, and in the end they all benefited others.
Digming a tunnel and throwing stones to ask for directions seemed to have been a waste of time. Zhou Ji had no intention of continuing and asked them to move the materials back first, and then handed them over to Xun Ye and Song Qi to arrange the manpower to carry out the ant tour. Moved and replenished my inventory. With this tunnel, it is estimated that it can stabilize people's hearts, and even if the blizzard lasts for another ten days and a half, it can survive.
The group returned to the third underground floor of Xichen Building and unloaded supplies in front of everyone. We were also given an extra glass of still liquor to celebrate today’s harvest. The good news was like a shot in the arm, and the entire shelter rejoiced, especially when they heard about the tragic situation in the underground garage of Wanxiang Yayuan. They felt even more grateful for their situation, and were less resistant to the harsh rationing system.
As one of the "talkers" at the refuge, Zhou Ji did not pretend to be aloof. He did not smoke, and he did not like so-called "famous tea." He generously picked a bottle of expensive wine. , cut off a section of the "money leg" and took it back to share with Yu Yao. Xun Ye and Song Qi did not bother him. They planned the next actions, arranged for people to enter Wanxiang Yayuan from the tunnel, and collected available materials layer by layer. Xun Ye proposed to set up a charter and wait for Zhou Ji to pick it first. The remaining parts would be divided into five parts and three parts would be put into the public accounts. He and Song Qi would each take one part and handle it themselves. Song Qi was quite surprised by this but had no objection.
There is motivation only when there are differences, and there is belonging only when there is closeness. Xunye understands people's hearts well, and egalitarianism will only do bad things. Before Zhou Ji intervened, he easily suppressed Song Qi, and the family was the only one. Now the situation is different. In the past, he took the initiative to extend an olive branch, hoping that Song Qi could understand his good intentions and truly put aside the grudge and work together in the future.
Zhou Ji returned to his cozy home on the fourth floor of Xichen Building, handed the wine and ham to Yu Yao, and talked about Wanxiang Yayuan with a sigh of relief. In his opinion, those who died tragically in the underground garage The "head of the family" doesn't know how to adapt or save himself, cheating his wife and children to death, so stupid. Yu Yao was cooking the money leg while listening to his comments. It was rare for Zhou Ji to say this. It seemed that the tragic situation in the underground garage was difficult to look at directly, and even he felt sympathy.
The "money legs" need to be stewed for a long time before they are fully cooked. Yu Yao found the remaining yokan and dried beans. These two were originally tea snacks. They were frozen hard and softened on the fireplace. She sliced them Food and drinks at the moment. The two drank the cold wine in silence, the astringent taste of tannin lingering on the tip of their tongues. Zhou Ji breathed a long sigh of relief and revealed his next plan to Yu Yao. After ransacking Wanxiang Yayuan, he planned to continue digging tunnels and remove the tentacles. Reach out to other places, stock up on enough supplies, look for survivors along the way, and treat them to a cup of Xianyun tea.
