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

After Zhou Shuwan and the other person rested for a few days, they started to go out and stock up on supplies again.

They then went to the provincial capital and several neighboring cities, went to the copper wire factory and stockpiled a large amount of copper wire; went to the stainless steel factory and stockpiled a large amount of stainless steel products...

I ran for half a month before stopping to rest.

It was at this time that a fire broke out on Cumulus Mountain, and the fire burned for several days and nights without stopping.

The mountain was covered with dead trees and dry grass that were so dry that they would break at the slightest touch. A tiny spark could spread into a prairie fire.

Zhou Shuwan and the others guessed correctly. Once the fire started, it could no longer be controlled.

Cumulus Mountain is not just one mountain, but a series of overlapping mountain ranges. If one mountain catches fire, the other mountains will not be spared.

The fire spread from one mountain to another, and then to the next mountain. Even in J City, you could see the raging fire along the northern skyline, even across a distance of dozens of kilometers.

Zhou Shuwan and his family of six all put on air-conditioned clothes, stood on the top of the property building, and looked into the distance.

Although they were wearing air-conditioned clothes, everyone seemed to feel the heat of the blazing fire.

Grandma Pang asked in a trembling voice, "What about the people on Jiyun Mountain? Did they escape?"

No one could answer.

There are at least several thousand people in several villages on Jiyun Mountain, including old people and children. If we don’t make preparations in advance, it will be very difficult to escape all of them in a short time!

Zhou Jianghai suddenly said, "Or maybe we're just guessing. Wanwan and Xiaoyu have already warned us a while ago that the dead trees on Jiyun Mountain could cause a fire! Who knows, maybe they have other plans!"

"But there are only twenty or thirty buses. How can we bring everyone out?" Zhong Tiyun murmured.

"Everyone, don't worry. In fact, if the villagers of Jiyun Mountain hide in their underground base when the fire breaks out, then there is still a glimmer of hope."

Smoke tends to rise, and underground bases are generally on the first or second floor underground. If precautions are taken at the entrance to prevent the fire from spreading, then there is a high chance that people will survive!

After these words were spoken, everyone felt that the heavy burden on their hearts loosened a little.

After all, it is thousands of lives at stake. No one, even the most hard-hearted person, can remain indifferent!

"Xiao Yu and Wan Wan will go to the underground base tomorrow to inquire about the situation." Zhou Jianghai said.

"it is good!"

But in fact, the fire lasted for more than half a month before it was completely stopped. When we asked about the situation the next day, no one could explain it clearly.

"The people we sent out haven't returned yet, and they don't dare to get close. They can only watch from afar." Xiao Xiao scratched her hair, looking haggard. "I also went with the car last night and only came back this morning."

"How is it over there?" Qi Mingyu asked.

Xiao Xiao shook her head, her face heavy. "Cumulus Mountain is too big. Even if someone escapes and shouts, we won't be able to hear them!"

Coming out of the underground base, Zhou Shuwan looked at the blazing flames in the distance, seemingly lost in thought.

"What's wrong, Wanwan? You seem to be worried about something since yesterday." Qi Mingyu asked.

Zhou Shuwan shook his head.

In fact, what she heard in her previous life was that there was no fire on Jiyun Mountain, but a landslide!

Countless dead trees drove large and small rocks down from the barren hills, smashing houses and roadbeds. However, due to the high temperature, everyone stayed at home and no one was injured.

Later, when the landslide ended, the locals quickly moved away.

Zhou Shuwan was visiting the survivor base and had overheard a few pieces of news, but she didn't pay much attention to them. The factory greenhouse where she lived was also occupied by people who had relocated from Jiyun Mountain.

However, from beginning to end, she never heard anyone mention the fire in the Cumulus Mountains.

So, what has changed?

Why does fire happen in this life?

Walking back silently, Zhou Shuwan suddenly asked halfway, "Did Xiao Xiao tell me the cause of the fire just now?"

Qi Mingyu shook his head: "How can we determine the cause of the fire if we can't even see a living person?"

Zhou Shuwan paused for a moment before suddenly asking, "Brother Xiaoyu, do you think it was caused by us going to collect firewood?"

Qi Mingyu was stunned.

Through the air-conditioned clothes and the dark night, he could feel the other person's seriousness.

"what do you mean……"

Zhou Shuwan looked into the distance and said, "I was wondering, we exchanged firewood for several carts of cotton in the underground base before, and we didn't hide it from anyone. Maybe someone got jealous and ran to collect firewood. Since there are people moving around in the mountains, it's normal for them to light a fire. Could this have caused a fire?"

Otherwise, everything was fine in the previous life, why would it catch fire in this life!

The only difference between the past and the present is that they go to collect firewood.

Qi Mingyu frowned tightly. "Wanwan, don't think like that. It's normal for us to go up the mountain to collect firewood and exchange it for supplies. Besides, it's not just us who collect firewood. Many other people also go there to collect firewood. It's just because of you..."

He was always very cautious outside, so he swallowed the word "space" and continued, "It's just because we picked up a lot. So, don't take the responsibility on yourself, okay?"

Zhou Shuwan smiled hurriedly: "Brother Xiaoyu, don't worry, I'm not imagining things! It's just that I can't figure it out..."

"What's so confusing? Wanwan, even if the fire was caused by someone collecting firewood in the mountains, it has nothing to do with you or us! Everyone must be responsible for their own actions, but don't force yourself to take responsibility for things that aren't yours!"

Zhou Shuwan nodded: "I know, Brother Xiaoyu, I don't mean to take the responsibility on myself. By the way, Brother Xiaoyu, don't tell my parents what I just said."

"Yeah!" Qi Mingyu stared at her carefully again, and nodded after making sure that she really heard his words.

The fire burned for more than half a month. When the air was filled with black burning materials and the smell of burning could be smelled in the distance in the underground base, the fire finally slowly stopped.

At the same time, good news came.

As Qi Mingyu guessed, the fire was burning during the day and almost everyone was in the underground base.

Because the troops had long anticipated the possibility of a forest fire, they painted the outer perimeter of the underground base with anti-combustible paint and also prepared dry food and water in the underground base.

So, when the fire really started, the troops acted quickly, closing the base doors tightly to completely eliminate the possibility of the fire spreading inside.

For the past half month, people have been hiding in underground bases.

People didn't come out until the fire died down.

There was no shortage of food and drink inside. The only thing that worried people was that there were too many people in the base and the door was tightly closed. In the last few days, there was obviously a lack of oxygen inside, and some elderly people and children showed symptoms of discomfort.

So, even though the fire hadn't completely stopped, the people from the underground base still came out.
