Chapter 1284 A False Alarm

The setting sun.

There were several steel drums on several vehicles, and the steel drums were filled with freshly cooked food.

Crunch——

The vehicles were parked in the middle of the construction site, and the workers around them had already lined up, holding all kinds of bowls and basins in their hands.

Some people used the 2-liter mineral water bottles, cut in half.

Some people held steel basins.

They were different.

Su Qian got off the car and took out an extra-long iron spoon.

She climbed onto the car and opened the lid on the steel drum.

Clang!

The lid was opened.

A strong aroma of food wafted out.

It attracted the construction workers who were queuing around to look around and swallow their saliva.

They worked day and night in turns, consuming a lot of physical strength and working very hard.

Without something to replenish energy, they had no strength to work.

However, although the food has not improved recently, the quantity has increased.

"From this aroma, I think it's sweet potato millet porridge!" Liu Taishan stretched his neck, sniffed the aroma of food in the air, and spoke.

He wore overalls with two holes in his lower body, and he cut the overalls to only the upper part, turning them from long pants into shorts.

There was a circle of frayed edges on the edge.

He wore a gray short-sleeved shirt on his upper body, and his hair was full of dust.

His face was tanned.

From his dress and demeanor, you can't tell that he was once a founder of the Western Alliance.

You can't tell that he once controlled a listed group before the end of the world.

In the past few years of torture, from the west to the east, he has experienced too much along the way.

He has become a different person.

Zhang Rufeng, who was standing next to him, glanced at him and said:

"You didn't push the wire ring just now. You made me so tired!"

"If you do this again next time, I won't team up with you."

Liu Taishan said, "You went out to do transportation, why did you come back to do construction?"

"I can't drive, otherwise I wouldn't stay here to do hard labor."

Zhang Rufeng curled his lips. The thunderstorm disaster was coming soon.

No one knew whether the disaster would come early, so it was safer to stay in the trading market to do construction.

Although it was hard work, I felt at ease.

They lined up, holding different bowls and basins, and came to Su Qian's car one by one.

Soon, it was their turn.

"Come on, next one."

Liu Taishan hurried over, holding a huge enamel cup.

Raised his hand and looked at Su Qian.

Su Qian scooped into the steel bucket, and when the porridge on the iron spoon was level.

She poured it into the enamel cup in Liu Taishan's hand.

Very precise, not a drop fell out.

Looking at a spoonful of millet and sweet potato porridge, Liu Taishan had a satisfied smile on his face.

He ran to the side with a smile.

He took out two chopsticks made of branches from his trouser pocket.

He drank it in small sips.

The millet and sweet potato porridge cooked today is very thick. This big bowl can make you 80% full.

Only those who have experienced hunger can truly understand the pain of having no food.

Being able to eat 80% full has made him very satisfied.

He calculated the points he could get today and how much food these points could be exchanged for.

It has been a while since he joined the camphor tree base.

They have never used these points to exchange for anything valuable.

They only exchanged them for food during natural disasters.

It feels good to be able to calculate the increase of your points every day.

He drank the porridge while doing a simple calculation.

He found that if he only needed to maintain a daily quota of one bowl of porridge, he could use the points to last for four or five months.

After all, they are cooperative personnel, not non-staff personnel in the base.

Huh——

Zhang Rufeng sat next to Liu Taishan, and the two sat on the template in front of the construction site.

There are too many nails in the construction site, and it is dusty.

They can only eat outside.

"Rufeng, look at the house behind, it is probably for us to live in." Liu Taishan said to Zhang Rufeng while drinking porridge.

"Who asked for it."

Zhang Rufeng's accent changed while drinking porridge.

"We have received reliable information that we cooperative personnel can enter the oil city."

"Is it true?" Liu Taishan looked at Zhang Rufeng happily.

If you can enter the oil city, who would be willing to stay in the unbuilt trading market?

After all, the trading market has not been built yet, the conditions are very simple, and it is very inconvenient to get water.

Such a large trading market, only four wells have been drilled now.

Poor living conditions are fine.

More importantly, it is safer to stay in the oil city.

Seeing Liu Taishan's surprised expression, Zhang Rufeng said helplessly:

"After all, we are also formal partners of the Camphor Tree Base. Compared with those affiliated forces in the North and the South Paradise, we are our own people."

"I told you, after leaving the headquarters base, do you think our points are faster than those in the headquarters base!"

Liu Taishan nodded with a smile on his face:

"Indeed, according to our current points, we can become non-staff members after the construction of this trading market."

There was a longing in his eyes, a longing for a better life.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

But if it involves life and death, it is easy to go from luxury to frugality.

Because if you don't accept it, it is death.

They drank porridge and watched the sunset.

The evening breeze blew slowly, and there was a different kind of comfort.

Liu Taishan felt a sense of stability and relaxation in his heart.

He had never felt this relaxed when he was in charge of a large listed group.

At that time, he had almost everything he wanted.

But he was not happy.

He was tense every day, trapped inside and outside.

He looked like the president of a large company, but he was not as comfortable as others imagined.

Desire, the desire to constantly gain more market share.

But at this moment.

After a busy day, after working so hard that he was half dead, his back was still wet with sweat.

But in this gentle evening breeze, drinking the sweet potato porridge that he once despised but now felt extremely delicious, he realized happiness.

He squinted his eyes, and the memories in his mind were released like slides.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

He realized that only by being content can you get happiness.

Night fell.

After taking a shower, Li Yu talked to his second uncle at the headquarters of the Dazhangshu base.

"Yes, I will go to the North tomorrow, and then return to Oil City that afternoon, and return to the headquarters of the Dazhangshu base around noon the day after tomorrow."

"Do you want to go to the military base to have a look?" asked the second uncle.

Li Yu thought for a while, and the Wushi military base was between Oil City and the camphor tree base.

So there was no need to take a detour, just go there on the way.

"Let's go and have a look."

He still remembered that there were still some supplies left at the military base.

"Okay, what did Tiger Master say at Southern Paradise?" Second Uncle asked.

Li Yu remembered the news that Xiao Jun told him when he came back in the evening.

He smiled and said, "Tiger Master will come, and he left dozens of people in Southern Paradise."

"Why leave people there? Could it be that there are some treasures?" Second Uncle joked.

"I don't know about that, he always has his considerations."

Li Yu continued:

"In addition, another group of survivors came in to trade today, and it feels good. There may be more survivors coming in later. As long as they come in and survive this natural disaster, our trading market will be considered a success."

After hearing the news, Second Uncle, who was far away in the camphor tree base.

He stood up from the stool happily.

"Great!"

"This is a good start."

Li Yu slowly put the cigar in his mouth and said with a smile:

"Yes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that we have started, the rest will be easy."

The two chatted for half an hour, and Li Yu simultaneously learned about the construction progress of the big camphor tree base.

Now the lightning protection and conductive system has been completely installed.

As for some other things, there are also careful second uncles watching over there.

In terms of specific execution, Li Yu is not as good as the second uncle.

The second uncle always has a lot of patience to handle things bit by bit.

But Li Yu is more forward-looking in some strategic directions.

Half an hour later, Li Yu put down the headset.

The hair that had been washed before is now naturally dry.

Looking at the time, it's eight o'clock in the evening.

He read a science fiction e-book downloaded before the end of the world.

The title of the book is quite interesting: "Rebirth of the End of the World: Winning 30 Million at the Beginning"

The protagonist in it has the same name as him, but the book has not been updated, only more than 300 chapters have been updated.

After watching for a while, he lay down to rest.

Nine o'clock.

A flash of lightning cut through the night sky.

Illuminated the room.

Urgent.

Deafening thunder and lightning followed.

Crack!

Boom!

This thunderstorm directly woke up Li Yu who was resting in bed.

His face was full of fear.

He hurried to the window and looked outside.

Pitter-patter --

After a thunderstorm, it was followed by a drizzle of rain.

!!!

? ? ?

Did the thunderstorm disaster come early?

Ah?

His pupils were full of shock.

Did I remember it wrong? Did I really remember it wrong?

I remember it correctly!

Besides, the time period that Qing Yuan mentioned was not today.

Li Yu frowned, put on his shoes quickly, and ran out with his gun.

If the thunderstorm disaster came earlier, it would be a big deal.

Uncle San is still in the North, and he is still in the Oil City.

The most important thing is that the wall of the trading market is still under construction!

This!!

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard Ju Tianrui's urgent voice from the intercom:

"City Lord, it's raining!"

Li Yu quickly replied: "I know, you asked the construction workers to suspend construction. Thunderstorm weather is not a joke. A lightning strike will kill people. The construction site is too dangerous."

"Yes!" Ju Tianrui ran out of the room in the drizzle.

While running, he contacted Xiao Jun and Dongtai to deal with it.

But.

Just as Li Yu went downstairs and hadn't walked a few steps.

The rain stopped abruptly.

Stopped? !

The whole raining process lasted less than five minutes.

Ju Tianrui had just contacted Xiao Jun and made arrangements, and the rain stopped.

He was under a street lamp, and his mind was a little confused.

Just at this time, Li Yu saw him.

"Old Ju."

Ju Tianrui turned around, saw Li Yu, and ran over quickly.

"City Lord, the rain has stopped again!"

Li Yu frowned and said to Ju Tianrui:

"Contact the headquarters base and the ministers in the northern border to ask them if it is raining there."

"Yes." Ju Tianrui immediately understood what Li Yu meant by doing this.

Hurry to the meeting room.

Li Yu frowned as he walked towards the meeting room.

A few minutes later.

Ju Tianrui looked at Li Yu with a puzzled look, while Li Yu sat on the stool next to him and pondered.

"City Lord, this may be just an isolated case, right?"

Li Yu thought for a long time, trying to recall whether there had been any similar incidents in his previous life before the thunderstorm disaster.

But no matter how he recalled, there was no such incident.

I just contacted the headquarters base and the North Territory, and there was no thunderstorm or light rain there.

Maybe it is really an isolated case.

Li Yu squinted his glasses and said:

"It should be an isolated case, but this incident has awakened us, and we must speed up."

"Change the plan, from withdrawing the transport personnel after eight days to prohibiting all transport personnel from going out after three days."

"Use the existing building materials and build as high as you can."

"In addition, let Tiger and others speed up. When something like this happens, we must be prepared in advance."

Ju Tianrui looked serious and nodded heavily, "Understood!"

"But, City Lord, are you still going to the North?"

Li Yu thought for a while and said, "Go, but I will be back tomorrow."

"I will return to the headquarters base the day after tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it."

Ju Tianrui was relieved when he heard Li Yu say this.
