Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

The next day, the community received information about government recruitment.

It is the installation of solar equipment, construction of houses, decoration and other work.

Working outside in such high temperatures is too much for even young and middle-aged people.

However, the remuneration for this recruitment is very generous.

Depending on the type of work, each person is provided with three meals a day, two 250-gram packs of compressed biscuits and a bottle of water.

250 grams is half a pound of food a day. 250 grams of compressed biscuits is enough to replace two pounds of ordinary food.

Suddenly, people flocked to sign up.

Zhou Shuwan listened to the recruitment information and said, "The government is preparing to build a survivor base."

"Is this the survivor base you mentioned?" Zhong Tiyun asked hurriedly.

Zhou Shuwan shook his head. "No, the floodwaters have only receded to the third floor. Large-scale base construction is impossible. The conditions are not met. However, we can select some high-rise buildings and concentrate all the solar energy we can collect there. We can ensure that the air conditioning in these buildings can function normally. With some simple renovations, they can be habitable."

This is just a temporary survivor base.

Zhou Shuwan analyzed: "After it is built, there will not be the capacity to accept all survivors. There will probably be restrictions on age, gender, and physical condition, and only those who cannot adapt to the high temperature will be accepted."

In other words, after they are built, these high-rise buildings will only accommodate the elderly, children and the sick and weak.

Zhong Tiyun was a little disappointed: "The elderly can be sent there, but who would be willing to send a child there alone? Who would take care of them?"

Zhou Jianghai said, "It's also possible that the elderly in the family will be asked to bring their children to live there. If there are no elderly people, we can limit it to one person per household to go and take care of them."

Their analysis was later proved to be correct.

By the time the workers who had gone to modify and rebuild the structure returned, the news had spread.

We are hiring a lot of people, especially those who have previous decoration experience will be given priority.

Zhou Jianghai now knows how to install solar panels and other equipment. He was eager to go out to work for a few days, but considering the unstable temperature now, it is not safe to go out. There are women and children at home, and he was worried about being away for a few days, so he gave up the idea.

There were about twenty people who applied for the job in Dongyuan Community, all of them were young and strong.

They went out to work for five days and then came back with the good news.

They chose three commercial buildings in this area of ​​the old city, all eight or nine stories high, which had not previously housed refugees.

These commercial buildings are designed to facilitate consumption by customers. They are large open spaces with simple partitions, and are not like residential buildings which are sturdy houses.

Even if there are independent rooms, they are built with lightweight building materials and are not difficult to dismantle.

So now each floor of these three buildings has been connected to form an empty room.

The commercial buildings themselves all use central air conditioning. All we need to do is modify the circuit and lay solar panels on the roof to provide electricity.

This type of building is called a survivor apartment. Each survivor who moves in is only provided with a living space of 2 by 2.5, central air conditioning, scheduled water and electricity supply, and all other mattresses, quilts, daily necessities, and food are provided by themselves.

It's like the small apartments before the apocalypse, so it's called a survivor apartment.

This is also to accommodate as many survivors as possible.

However, admission is conditional.

Just as the Zhou family had previously speculated, people over 60 years old, children under 13 years old, and patients who have been bedridden for a long time and have a hospital certificate can all apply for admission.

Whether it is the elderly, children or patients, if they need to bring a caregiver, they can bring one, but no additional space will be provided.

In addition, if there is a woman in the family, it must be a woman who enters the apartment to take care of the family. If there is no woman, a man needs to apply for approval to move in.

This can also be considered a kind of care for the weak and women.

Zhou Jiamumu is eligible.

Grandma Qi Jia Pang also qualifies.

There is also Chunchun from Aunt Zhong’s family.

My third uncle and eldest uncle live too far away and it is inconvenient to contact them. They live in the new district, and the survivor apartments they built may be different from those in the old district.

But both the Zhou and Qi families have solar panels and large batteries.

The Zhou family also has a gasoline generator and plenty of gasoline.

The two families can ensure that the air conditioner is running day and night, so Mu Mu and Grandma Pang are not allowed to go.

Aunt Zhong San, Xue Tao and Qianqian came to the Zhou family specifically to ask for their opinions on whether to let the child and Qianqian go.

Aunt Zhong's family later exchanged supplies for a gasoline generator. It is not as convenient as solar energy, but if the whole family gathers in one bedroom and only turns on one air conditioner, which is turned on intermittently and not at night, it is also bearable.

As the temperature rises, the Zhou family's air conditioner is now only turned on in the master bedroom during the day, while the second bedroom, living room and seventh floor are not turned on.

When sleeping at night, the temperature can drop by several degrees compared to the daytime, so the master bedroom and the second bedroom are regularly opened for a few hours. Mu Mu sleeps together with his parents, and Shu Wan sleeps in his own room.

This can save two-thirds of electricity.

When the Zhong family arrived, they all gathered in the master bedroom to talk.

Zhong Tiyun said, "We're just like you. We only turn on the air conditioner in the master bedroom and don't turn it on at night. But our house is solar powered, so it would be more difficult for you to use a gasoline generator."

Xue Tao has already calculated the cost clearly: "We only have one small bedroom with air conditioning. If we calculate the electricity consumption based on 18 hours a day, it would only be a few liters of oil. We can still supply it in a short time."

"The main reason is that I heard that there aren't even beds in the survivors' apartment, so you have to bring your own mat. There are so many people there, and the living conditions are too inconvenient. I don't want Chunchun to go." Qianqian also spoke up.

Zhou Shuwan said, "For the time being, the temperature isn't too high, so using gasoline generators is feasible. Over time, the temperature will rise, and the floodwaters will completely recede. By then, the government will definitely consider establishing more refuge bases for survivors. With sufficient land, everything will be easier. If you really want to go to a survivor base, it won't be too late to consider it then."

"Yes!" Xue Tao reacted quickly and said immediately, "Many new residential areas have underground parking lots. With a little renovation, they can accommodate many survivors."

The Zhong family decided not to send Chunchun away.

Several of their families had the conditions to turn on air conditioning, but most of the families in the community had no electricity, so they could only send the elderly, children and their mothers to the survivors' apartment.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the survivors' apartment only accommodates the elderly, children and mothers, with very few men. The army also sends soldiers to patrol back and forth, so there is no need to worry about safety.

Zhou Shuwan also lamented that although Mayor Lu had ulterior motives in placing her and Qi Mingyu in the water protection team, he was still a good person. At least he had done his best to protect the weak and women.

When the temperature rises to 48 degrees, people's lives become very difficult.
