Qi Mingyu was just venting the depression and anxiety in his heart, and he did not lose control. As she pushed him, she loosened her restraints on him.

Zhou Shuwan only felt a numbness at the root of his tongue and a dull pain in his lips.

She covered her lips and made a muffled sound: "It must be swollen. How can I face people when I go back later?"

Qi Mingyu reached out and touched her hair soothingly: "I'll apply ice to it when we get back."

That would only make things more obvious.

Zhou Shuwan glared at him unhappily.

Qi Mingyu gently touched her cheek and turned to tidy up the tables and chairs.

Looking at his back, Zhou Shuwan somehow felt as if he had done something wrong and the other person was being wronged.

Qi Mingyu folded up the chair and handed it to her before asking, "You... haven't considered that things are so difficult in this apocalyptic world right now. If... aren't you afraid of something special happening?"

Zhou Shuwan was puzzled as to what the special situation was.

She followed the other person's gaze and looked at her abdomen, and suddenly she understood.

She gave a strange smile and casually placed a few small bags on the table.

Qi Mingyu picked it up and took a look at it in confusion. When he saw the words on it clearly, his face suddenly changed. The thing in his hand became a hot potato. It was not right to hold it, and it was not right to put it down.

"Wanwan, you..."

I wanted to ask something, but I couldn't bring myself to ask it.

Zhou Shuwan glanced at him unhappily and said, "I'm not some naive college student!"

She casually put the table and the several small plastic bags on it into the space, and naturally took away the hot potato in his hand.

After a long while, Qi Mingyu finally spoke: "Why are you hoarding these things?"

Zhou Shuwan casually said, "Of course, I'm saving them for future exchange! You've been to underground bases before. These things are more precious than food and water. Especially the rich, they're willing to exchange them for large amounts of supplies. I've stockpiled a lot, waiting for a windfall!"

There was another silence before Qi Mingyu said "hmm".

Take down the thermometer hanging there.

"39 degrees, fine." Qi Mingyu handed the thermometer to Zhou Shuwan and put it away. When he helped her up the ladder, he said, "Next time you exchange this, you have to call me. Don't go alone."

Zhou Shuwan was startled, turned his head to look at him, and after a while he smiled and agreed: "Okay!"

After they returned, they talked about the underground parking lot of the frame building. Because it was an elevator community that was built only a few years ago, with tall floors and a large occupancy area, the community originally had a two-story underground parking lot.

Zhou Jianghai also thought of the time when he hid the cans, and nodded quickly: "If it's the second floor below ground, the temperature must not be high, we can dig a pool."

Zhong Tiyun also said: "Then the area of ​​the pool that can be dug should be larger than the current one, right?"

"Well, we went down to take a look. The temperature on the second floor below ground is 39 degrees, and the soil is soft, so it's not difficult to dig a pool." Qi Mingyu said.

Zhou Shuwan lowered his head and drank water.

Mu Mu looked her up and down, and suddenly said, "Sister, what's wrong with your mouth? Is there a sore?"

Zhou Shuwan almost choked on the water.

Grandma Pang’s eyesight wasn’t very good and the light in the basement wasn’t good either, so she didn’t see it.

However, as early as when Zhou Shuwan returned, Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Jianghai, two experienced people, had already seen what had happened at a glance.

Adults cannot get too involved in young people's love affairs, so they just pretend not to see anything.

Zhou Shuwan felt a little embarrassed after being exposed by the young and naive Mu Mu. He coughed twice and said hurriedly, "It's okay, it's just the chili. Mu Mu, you can't eat too much spicy food."

Mu Mu nodded blankly.

Qi Mingyu calmly changed the subject: "I actually don't think we need to dig another pool. The area below ground level is quite large, but we originally dug a portion and left it there. We can make use of it with a little renovation."

Zhou Jianghai's eyes lit up: "How big is the area?"

"It's thirty meters long, two meters high, and seven or eight meters wide."

Zhou Jianghai did some calculations in his mind, feeling a bit surprised and a bit worried: "This size can hold hundreds of tons of water. But where can we get so much water?"

"Yes, we are extremely lucky to be able to exchange 10 tons of water from the researchers." Zhong Tiyun was also worried.

Grandma Pang, however, was very open-minded: "There's no rush. I'll go check it out some other day. If it's really difficult, we can just dig another pool below the basement level. Hundreds of tons of water won't be easy to move, but another ten or twenty tons shouldn't be difficult."

Just exchange it with the supplies you have stored at home.

"Yes, if we dig one more layer, the temperature will be about the same as here, and we won't have to worry about evaporation."

Everyone nodded.

When it was time to go to bed, Qi Mingyu suddenly stuffed something into Zhou Shuwan's hand.

Zhou Shuwan took a look and saw it was an ice pack.

He opened his mouth to say something, but Zhong Tiyun had already looked over there, so the two young men quickly walked away.

Even when he lowered the curtains and lay down on the bed, Zhou Shuwan was still wondering why the two of them looked so much like a pair of premature lovers having a love affair right under their parents' noses!

Everything he does is done secretly.

On the third day, Grandma Pang and Mu Mu were at home, while Zhou Jianghai, Zhong Tiyun and Zhou Shuwan went to the frame building together.

After walking around the basement floor, Zhou Jianghai praised it repeatedly: "This place is great. Xiaoyu is right. With a little renovation, it can be used as a pool."

Level the ground, lay a layer of bricks, and then apply cement to prevent water seepage. After cleaning, there will be no water storage.

There is only one unfinished staircase from the second basement floor to the first basement floor, which can also be repaired with bricks and concrete, leaving only an opening.

Although the workload is not small, it is much easier than digging one.

Moreover, if so much water could be stored, not to mention Qi Mingyu and his wife, even Zhou Shuwan's entire family would have more than enough to use for more than ten years.

So, the biggest problem now is where to get so much water!

The water in Zhou Shuwan's space must not be moved.

"Alas, there was so much rain every day during the flood, but it was all wasted!" Zhou Jianghai said regretfully.

"At that time, the area below the fifth floor was completely flooded. Even if there was water, there was no container to store it!" Zhong Tiyun said.

"Yes, we even wore diving suits and ran to many places to look for water tanks." Zhou Jianghai nodded.

Qi Mingyu thought about it and said, "I can go talk to Xiao Xiao first."

Seeing everyone's surprise, he explained: "He is Mayor Lu's confidant. He is young and holds a high position. He has considerable power. I can ask him how he got the water privately." This method should be an improper one.

Zhou Shuwan said, "I'll go with you."

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao kept her mouth shut, but when two old friends came to ask her together, she hesitated for a moment and then quietly asked, "Didn't you just exchange 10 tons of water last time? Why are you still hoarding it? Have you run out?"
