Doomsday foresight

Jinxi and Jiang Chen stood on the mountain peak, watching the coastline turn black, and the place near the sea seemed to be shrouded in black, completely different from the red sea a few days ago.

"Ocean, it's really the cradle of life." Jinxi sighed, and Jiang Chen held his hand, "The sea ice melts quickly, and it shouldn't take long for the tsunami to reappear. All bases have entered the fishing moratorium period.”

Jinxi nodded, looking at the endless sea in the distance, "The two nearby bases have not caught crabs in the past few days. It seems that they have formed a new fishing habit."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Let's go, the sun is already setting."

The two slowly walked down the mountain. It is now the middle of July. Jinxi and Jiang Chen have been observing for more than half a month. The sea here has obviously become a breeding ground for sea crabs, leaving countless Crab eggs attract a lot of sea fish and some marine life that feed on crab eggs.After a few days, the crab eggs turned into small crabs, and the near sea was covered in darkness. They could see those small crabs struggling to swim to the sea. From their observation, the sea might only be calm these days. If the ice reproduces rapidly before it melts, you know that the day when the tsunami strikes is not far away.If the crabs do not swim to the depths at that time, they will be brought ashore by the tsunami.

At this time, they are no longer collecting food as they saw it in previous years, and this time they did not catch a large number of crabs while watching the reproduction of life. people to catch.

Back at the station, their castle had already been built. After Yecheng learned about the situation, they sent a lot of people. The weather was so hot that it seemed that the sea water would thaw within a day, and then the snow would also melt.

After sending back some news, the reply was quick. The people in Yecheng also studied it. According to the news they gave back, they finally raised the status of the castle as a very important base, redesigned the blueprint, and finally built it even better than they thought. To be strong, the entire castle was hollowed out, and a group of four people tamped the foundation, and the foundation was also deep. There are two floors underground, the upper layer is the warehouse, and the lower layer is the security layer. The two layers are very strong and incomparable. The previous underground buildings were poor, and even a honeycomb structure was used during construction. Even if one corner collapsed, other places were safe.

The second basement level of this castle is the security level. The structure here is more solid. Not only does it have an underground space to hide 500 people, but there are also four safe passages. If there is a danger and the above cannot be guarded, you can leave directly from the safe passages. The four exits are very secret.

The above castle was added according to the original design, and finally formed a well-arranged castle building with the highest four floors and the lowest floor. The roofs are all flat and you can dry salt or seafood. There is a big stone, very flat, and there is a stone house connected to the castle on the left side of the gate. There is a well there. The water in the entire base is provided by this well. Although there is no electric water pump, they have made a hand pump. Through this hand pump and some equipment, they can send water to the highest level of the castle, where there is a closed pool, so that the whole castle can use the tap water system again.

Now the whole project is basically completed, and the carpenter is installing the windows. Now there is a lack of large pieces of glass, especially thick glass. I got a lot of broken glass from the city, and then inlaid these glass, which looks like ice cracks. These follow Carpenter Yao has studied carpentry for several years. The young man who works as a carpenter has artistically inlaid the glass very beautifully. The inlaid windows are double-layered, strong and thick. For heat preservation and safety, the windows can only be fixed in the wall. , used for lighting, in order to maintain ventilation, there are special ventilation holes in the castle, the rooms on the upper floor of the castle will have a door leading to the outside, outside the door or a balcony or a large bay window, these two doors in summer It is open for ventilation. In winter, close it and hang a thick woolen blanket to keep warm. This door is also a defense or escape door. The change of the world has changed their living habits. Live like that.

Entering the castle hall, Jinxi smells a very fragrant stew. There are seven halls of different sizes on the first floor of the castle. Two floors, two rows of twenty dormitories on the upper floor, which are temporary accommodation for people traveling between the two places. It is somewhat similar to a dormitory. Each room can accommodate four people. There are fireplaces here to keep warm.The walls between the dormitories are all fire walls. Even if no one lives there for a long time, the fire will make people feel warm.At the same time, the warmth from upstairs can also be transmitted to the restaurant downstairs.

Jin Xi and Jiang Chen entered the restaurant, it was time for dinner, there were more than 100 people in the restaurant at this time, some of the people who came to work had gone back, and the remaining 100 people were the people who worked here in summer up.Seeing the two of them coming over, everyone greeted each other. The family is not the unit here, everyone is a family.

There are many solid wooden tables horizontally in the restaurant, a bench can seat seven or eight people, and a large table with several large pots, Jin Xi and Jiang Chen took the wooden trays and bowls, chopsticks and plates from one side, and went to Cooking meals, Jinxi thought of when he was in college, everyone ate like this at that time, but there was no machine for swiping the card anymore.

The dinner is very sumptuous, and each person can get two steamed buns with the size of a fist. Although they have already harvested a lot of wheat, they can't guarantee that everyone will eat hard when they go to save the seeds. When the new wheat is harvested in late August, they will no longer worry about it up.Everyone can't wait.

Except for those steamed buns, I also made broth today. The wild boar is stewed rottenly, with mushrooms, dried beans, and fresh potatoes.

Potatoes have become their staple food now. Like sweet potatoes, they are loved by people. It’s okay to throw two in the stove pit. When you’re hungry, you pull them out with a bit of a mushy smell. It’s absolutely delicious.So it is not unusual to see some people take a few back after eating.

Jin Xi also took four little potatoes and went upstairs with Jiang Chen. Their room was on the third floor of the castle. It was reserved for him and Jiang Chen alone. It was a room with a fireplace and a fire wall. The room was very large. , not only can fit a large bed, but also put a few sofas in front of the fireplace, and the room also has a separate bathroom.

A circular ice-cracked window is on the wall, and the sunlight hits the bed just right, so that they can always smell the sun when they sleep. One side of the small living room is connected to a large terrace, and the small square in front of the castle can be seen from the terrace. .

Jinxi likes this place very much, or some of the equipment here reminded him of the end of the world, or when the castle was built, this place became a surprise for him from the people of Yecheng. Admittedly, all of this made Jinxi happy.

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Chen came over with two glasses of water and saw Jin Xi sitting on the sofa in a daze.

Jin Xi smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing."

Jiang Chen put the water on the table and sat next to Jinxi, "I'll go back with the motorcade in two days, and there are still some things to deal with in Yecheng."

Jin Xi nodded, "Understood, there's nothing wrong here." He grabbed Jiang Chen's hand and squeezed his fingers, "The weather has been hot these two days, so be careful when you go back, and don't hurry at noon."

Jiang Chen rubbed Jinxi's forehead with his chin, "Be careful with the two bases next to it. Jinlin hasn't found anything these days. These two bases are somewhat closed, and they don't seem to want to contact the outside world very much."

"Well, I understand. Didn't Jinlin detect their strength? The hundred of us are not vegetarians, and we will be fine with the defense of the castle. Didn't Yecheng say last time that the base in the west of Beijing would go to the base?" Has the north side moved? Be careful. I always think they're going big."

Jiang Chen nodded and leaned back on the sofa, "That's why I went back this time. Ye Qiu wrote to say that the Changyuan base was attacked last month, and their grazing team was attacked, and a lot of livestock were lost. There are horses, and they are highly mobile. Be careful, here too, the Yan County base is two days away from here, and they have a lot of livestock there, so they might become targets, so you must be careful here."

Jin Xi nodded and looked at Jiang Chen. Over the past few years, the whole person looked more mature. He stretched out his hand to touch him, and there was a little stubble on his chin, which made him look particularly attractive.

Jiang Chen put his arms around Jinxi, sighed, "I really don't want to leave." He was very afraid that something would happen if he left Jinxi.

Jinxi smiled, "There are a lot of things you need to deal with in Yecheng. I won't go out here, so what's the danger?" Then she thought of another thing, "By the way, Zhang Cheng is a father, you Go back and give me that silver lock as a daughter, it's a pity that I won't be able to keep up with the child's full moon and hundred days."

"Well, I'll go back and take a look for you. I heard it's quite beautiful."

"Both Zhang Cheng and his wife are not ugly, and the child must be beautiful. Besides, my daughter-in-law is absolutely beautiful. Why don't you go back and see if the camera at Vic's place is still available. If you can, take a picture of my daughter and bring me look."

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded in agreement, and sighed in his heart, Jinxi still likes children very much, but it's a pity that the two of them can't have children in this life.Jiang Chen thought about Dabao's child again. Before he came out, his grandfather talked to him, saying that if Dabao had another child in the future, he would adopt him to the two of them. He was very happy, and Dabao didn't say anything. When you all live together, with both parents around, things are not so good.Maybe he should think of another way.

Jinxi didn't know what Jiang Chen was thinking, and muttered to Jiang Chen to go back and take out a piece of soft cloth he had saved to make clothes for his daughter-in-law. It’s different. Women seem to be born with motherhood. When they reach a certain age, they will want to have their own children, while men will have a father’s love after they have children. Jinxi’s love for goddaughters is more because Zhang Cheng is his favorite. Friends, coupled with their love for little girls, have no idea of ​​having a child of their own.

The two of them were talking, when they suddenly felt the ground tremor, "Earthquake." Jiang Chen came to his senses, embraced Jin Xi in his arms, walked up to the terrace and jumped a few steps, Jin Xi opened his mouth He almost cried out, and then felt his body tremble, and Jiang Chen hugged him and jumped to the square downstairs.

Jiang Chen hugged Jinxi and put it on the ground. At this time, the ground vibration was not so strong. Although the reaction of the people in the castle was not as fast as Jiang Chen's, they were also experienced in many battles, and soon gathered in the square.

"what happened?"

"It's an earthquake."

Everyone was talking.

"Look over there?" Suddenly a person pointed in the direction of the sea.Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a puff of white smoke straight up into the sky.
