When she came down in the early morning, Zhong Tiyun brought down some of the steamed buns, dumplings, and pre-prepared meals that had been frozen into lumps in the refrigerator. After being left out for a day at a temperature of over 20 degrees, they were now completely thawed.

When Qi Mingyu was preparing this safe house, he also thought that if he really couldn't go up for a long time, at least there would need to be a simple way to heat food and hot water here.

So, he prepared an electric rice cooker, a steamer and a small wok.

Just pull out a socket on the battery to use electricity.

I used a steamer to heat up the pre-prepared dishes and steamed buns I brought, and then used an electric rice cooker to cook a pot of soup.

One dish of shredded pork with fish flavor, one dish of stewed cabbage meatballs, and one dish of vegetarian three fresh dishes.

The staple foods include steamed buns, vegetarian buns, and meat buns, and you can eat them according to your personal preferences.

Finally, have a bowl of hot millet soup.

In the simple basement, everyone ate very satisfyingly.

The dishes the Zhou family brought were all available after the apocalypse, so Grandma Pang wasn't surprised at all. She kept sighing as she ate, "Living next door to you, I can smell the delicious food from your house every day. It always tastes better than other people's. I smell it every day and am almost dying of greed. Now I can finally eat it!"

Everyone was amused.

Zhong Tiyun laughed and said, "If I had known you liked to eat it, I would have sent it to you every day and let you smell it at home and get ravenous. But it's my family's fault!"

"Grandma Pang is just being polite to us. Everyone in our neighborhood knows that Grandma Pang cooks the best!" Zhou Jianghai also laughed and said, "Now I envy other people's meals."

Grandma Pang laughed and said, "That's right. I guess the older we get, the more we miss other people's delicious food!"

Everyone laughed even harder!

Amidst the laughter, Qi Mingyu suddenly picked up a meatball for Zhou Shuwan who was standing beside him.

Zhou Shuwan was startled for a moment, then smiled at the other person: "Thank you."

Qi Mingyu took out another small bun stuffed with fennel and egg for her: "I see you like this."

He observed carefully. The buns were relatively small, and Zhou Shuwan had already eaten three of them in a row.

Zhou Shuwan took it and said with a smile, "Well, I think the one with fennel filling tastes more substantial and less pungent. It tastes better than the one with leek filling."

Qi Mingyu also picked up a piece of fennel stuffing and started eating it. After finishing it, he silently commented in his heart, it was indeed delicious!

For convenience, the bowls and plates they use are disposable lunch boxes, which can be thrown away after eating without washing, thus saving water resources.

There are also many disposable lunch boxes in Zhou Shuwan's space.

After finishing breakfast and clearing away the dishes, everyone prepared to go upstairs.

Originally, everyone wanted Grandma Pang to stay underground and not climb up and down.

However, she was a little worried about the chickens left at Zhou's house and insisted on going back to check on them.

Everyone couldn't persuade her, so they had to go up with her.

Fortunately, Grandma Pang has worked hard all her life, so climbing down the sewer is no big deal for her.

Qi Mingyu was the first to reach the ground. He was very alert and used a telescope to observe the waterway entrance for a long time. After making sure that no one was watching, he jumped out of the waterway entrance and let the people below come up.

After covering the underground entrance tightly, he passed through two buildings and returned to his own apartment building.

The temperature at night rose higher than yesterday. When I entered the house, I felt waves of heat coming towards me.

Taking off her air-conditioned suit, Zhong Tiyun sighed, "If all the air conditioners stop working, we won't be able to come back even if we want to."

It is rather troublesome to run back and forth, but they don’t want to stay in the basement for half a year, a year, or even two years until the high temperature ends!

Human beings are inherently inclined towards sunshine and warmth!

People who live in the basement for a long time tend to have some psychological problems.

Therefore, after discussion, the Zhou family solemnly decided to go to the basement during the day and come back at night.

After feeding the chickens, I cleaned the place and tidied up the hydroponic vegetables.

The family took turns taking a hot bath. Mu Mu and Zhou Shuwan also soaked in the swimming pool for a while and came out only when they felt comfortable.

Then it was training and archery, and Mu Mu studied and read.

He has never stopped studying since the end of the world.

My older sister has downloaded some learning resources at home. I use them to learn the knowledge in the textbooks, do some exercises, read some books, and then watch survival videos together when my family is free.

This type of video includes various first aid knowledge, wilderness survival knowledge, etc.

This is Zhou Shuwan’s rule, and the whole family must learn it.

At five in the morning, I packed up again and prepared to go to the basement.

Within a few days, everyone got used to this lifestyle.

Moreover, because they live under the same roof, the relationship between the Zhou and Qi families has become closer.

Grandma Pang also smiled more than before because there were so many people around.

She has a very good personality and gets along well with Zhong Tiyun. It feels like she has a companion no matter what she does, and she is happy all day long.

When it was time to graft cacti, Zhong Tiyun went to the underground base with her family.

The scaffolding has been set up, right next to the entrance to the underground base, making it convenient for patrols.

There are many planting boxes placed under the trellis.

Zhong Tiyun worked for a whole day before she and everyone else successfully grafted all the cacti.

Before leaving, Director Wu actually gave her a small bag of compressed biscuits, about a dozen packs in total, and two bottles of water as a reward for her planting.

Zhong Tiyun had never thought about this. Her original idea was very simple, just to come and help, and learn how to grow cacti.

If she has the opportunity in the future, she will be able to grow it herself at home.

She hesitated for a moment, but still refused: "Director Wu, I can't accept this. The weather is too hot now, and my family doesn't want me to come to the base to work every day...so..."

"I understand, I understand!" Director Wu waved his hand: "Your family doesn't need this salary. Tiyun, don't worry, this is the reward for your help today. No matter who comes to help, I, Old Wu, will never let them work for nothing! So, this is what you deserve, don't feel psychologically burdened!"

Zhong Tiyun then took over: "Thank you very much, Director Wu."

He smiled and said, "Director Wu, although I won't be working here anymore, I will help you out when I can in the future. You don't have to pay me. But, in six months, when these cacti have grown and need to be grafted again, you have to promise me that you'll give me the best and most!"

"So you're waiting for your reward here." Director Wu joked, "Don't worry, we're all family. You'll definitely take good care of me if you can."

After knowing each other for so long, everyone knows that Director Wu’s character is trustworthy.

Zhong Tiyun thanked him repeatedly.

After finishing the cactus work and returning from the base entrance, Director Wu was still talking about the Zhou family to his wife, Sister Fang.

"They can afford air-conditioned clothes, so why would they need this salary? It's just that they can't sit still and still want to work!"

"Yes, that's why I said that this family is able to come out without being arrogant or impatient. Whether it was before or now, they treat us the same!"
