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

The others' eyes lit up.

Zhong Tiyun hurriedly asked, "Should we tell the property management?"

The property has not been disbanded, it has just been temporarily moved to an underground base. It is reasonable to say something about it.

"Then tell Director Wu that we can borrow it. It's hard for people to live in a tool room like this, so even if we borrow it, the rent will definitely be very low." Qi Mingyu made the final decision: "I'll go find him tomorrow."

Qi Mingyu acted quickly and came back the next day with information and a key, which was the key to the tool room.

"Director Wu didn't even ask for rent. He just said that if our chickens can survive and lay eggs normally, we can give them a few breeding eggs."

The others were very happy to hear this.

Qi Mingyu had already checked out the tool room before returning and said, "I just took a look. It's about seven or eight square meters. It should be enough to put up a shelf. But it was flooded for over a year, so there's a lot of debris and broken stuff. We need to clear it out first."

Zhou Jianghai said, "Then Grandma Pang and Mu Mu can rest at home, and we can take some time to clean up."

"Row."

That’s settled.

It's not very convenient to work in air-conditioned clothing, but it has to be worn. To prevent the air-conditioned clothing from getting dirty or torn, Zhong Tiyun had already made an outer coat out of sturdy felt cloth to wear on the outside.

Zhou Shuwan got a small cart from outside, that is, from the space.

There is a row of small houses behind the property building. These small houses used to be the coal room of the community. A small half of them were underground and were used to store coal. Later, when the city banned the use of coal, these houses became storage rooms or tool rooms of the property office.

The tool room that Qi Mingyu mentioned is in the coal room at the back. There is a staircase leading deep underground at the back corner. After going down more than ten steps, there is a small basement of about seven or eight square meters in size.

It goes up and down. In the past, it was not even convenient to store coal here, so it has been idle, so people put some miscellaneous items here.

They brought a thermometer and measured the room temperature, which was almost 40 degrees.

"We have large-capacity batteries. If we put a fan here to allow the air to circulate, it should be cooler than the top floor." Qi Mingyu said.

Zhou Shuwan said, "We have ice at home. We can put a few more pieces of ice in the basin during the day to lower the temperature."

"To be honest, the temperature of over 40 degrees in the basement and the temperature of over 40 degrees on our top floor feel absolutely different," said Zhong Tiyun.

"Yes, that's what they call the perceived temperature. The basement is definitely cooler." Zhou Jianghai looked at the tool room and was very satisfied.

The area was less than ten square meters, and four people worked together to clean it up quickly.

After cleaning and sprinkling water, they laid two layers of plastic sheets on the ground after it dried, and nailed the insulation cotton that the Zhou family had bought around the walls, one for insulation, and the other for keeping the walls clean.

Finally, cover the ground with chopped straw and soil.

Qi Mingyu also planned to build a rack with Zhou's father and place the chicken coops on two levels to make more space.

But Zhou Shuwan stopped him: "I think we should let them roam free. It's such a small place, don't lock them up."

Zhong Tiyun thought about it and nodded: "Yes, our chickens are locked in the chicken coop and look listless every day. I also agree with raising them in the wild."

After they said this, Qi Mingyu and Zhou Jianghai naturally had no objections.

At night, they carried all the chicken coops to the tool room.

I opened the chicken coop and let the dozen or so chickens out. Maybe because they had been locked up for too long, the chickens were all listless and didn't move for a long time.

Zhong Tiyun took a small stick and drove them all out.

She looked at the chickens and sighed, "Five or six have died over the past few days, leaving only these sixteen: one rooster and fifteen hens. I'll just do my best and leave the rest to fate."

They sprinkled some millet and vegetables into the chicken feeder, turned on the fan, and then left after being busy all afternoon.

They were all dirty and sweaty.

I went home and took a shower first.

While showering, Zhong Tiyun took the time to chat with Zhou Jianghai: "Did you see today? Xiaoyu didn't want Wanwan to do any work. He only asked her to help push the cart and carry things. He did all the heavy work by himself."

Zhou Jianghai enjoyed his wife rubbing his back and snorted, "As a man, it's not normal for you to do more work!"

"Tsk, you're such a person, I can't explain it to you clearly." Zhong Tiyun patted him and said with satisfaction: "Anyway, I'm satisfied that Xiaoyu knows how to feel sorry for Wanwan."

Zhou Jianghai closed his eyes and said nothing, but he felt at ease in his heart.

Although he is not very satisfied with Xiaoyu, he is at least better than those young people out there!

The lives of the Zhou and Qi families gradually became regular.

I sleep in the basement during the day and return to the house at night to exercise and work, and take time to feed the chickens and grow hydroponic vegetables.

Two months later, the temperature officially rose to 75 degrees.

The air conditioner in their home had completely broken down, so they stopped living in the house and just went to see it every day wearing air-conditioned clothes.

The temperature in the tool room also rose, but it was always maintained at around 47 or 48 degrees. With the electric fans and ice cubes, the chickens had no trouble enduring it. After adapting here for two months, they started laying eggs again.

The eggs laid were just a little smaller, not as big as before, but everyone was still very happy.

Hydroponic vegetables were also moved here. They didn’t grow very well, but at least there was a constant supply of fresh vegetables to eat.

Qi Mingyu knew that Zhou Shuwan's space existed, but Grandma Pang didn't know, and Zhou Shuwan didn't want his parents to worry about it.

Therefore, they still have to go back to the refrigerator in the house to get their food every day.

The air conditioner is out of service, but the solar panels are still generating electricity, so the batteries are always fully charged, enough to power the refrigerator and freezer.

They placed another microwave in the underground safe house, put the frozen pre-cooked rice and meat dishes in it, heated them up for a while, and the meal was ready.

The basement is poorly ventilated, so try not to use hot oil to cook.

Breakfast and dinner are simple.

Grandma Pang brewed rice wine in the safe house. When she wanted to eat it, she just scooped two spoonfuls of it into a bowl, beat the eggs, and poured it into boiling water at 100 degrees. It would be a bowl of nutritious and delicious rice wine and egg soup.

Frozen buns and steamed buns can be eaten immediately after heating.

I drank rice wine, and then took turns eating oil tea, oatmeal, pure milk, and eight-treasure porridge.

They couldn't keep the eggs even when it was hot, and neither family kept many of the newly laid eggs, as they ate them every day.

Although this type of egg is nearly one-third smaller than the previous eggs, after eating it, you will find that this type of egg tastes better and seems to be more nutritious.

When Zhong Tiyun told others about this idea, it turned out that everyone else had the same idea.

Zhou Jianghai speculated that this was because chickens have evolved and are gradually adapting to today's high temperatures.

Therefore, the eggs laid contain more complete nutrients.
