Chapter 139 139 "An Ordinary but Extraordinary Day in Dongguo."

Chapter 139 139· “An ordinary but extraordinary day in Dongguo.”

November 12, 2024, Eastern Kingdom time, 8:13 in the morning - the first ten days of the ice disaster have come to the Eastern Kingdom.

Lingnan City, Refuge Area No. 9, Shelter No. 3.

outside the window.

The entire city was covered with ice and snow, like a silver-white veil. In the distance was the white river. Under the ice, perhaps the river was still flowing freely, and huge hailstones fell one after another, making a tight and crisp sound.

inside the window.

Jing Liu didn't pay attention to this familiar scene. He sat on a chair in his room, wearing a Bluetooth headset, biting into the hot leek and egg dumplings in his hand, while looking straight at the screen in front of him. .

“After the earthquake, aftershocks will continue to occur, and your environment may further deteriorate. You should try your best to improve your environment, stabilize yourself, and try to escape.

Be sure to avoid weak collapsed objects, hanging objects or other dangerous objects above the body. After moving to a safe location, expand the space for movement, but be careful not to force it when it cannot be moved to prevent further collapse of surrounding debris..."

This sound came from the screen.

Jing Liu is in class, and the content of the course is naturally what to do if there is an earthquake and tsunami next month.

The form of the course is rather special. What Jing Liu is watching now is an online course produced by Dongguo, but the course is combined with a live broadcast. That is, there are also 'teachers' online now. If you don't understand the content of the online class, Or if you have your own opinions, you can type or speak directly and let the teacher answer your questions on the spot.

Many people think that online classes are not as good as in-person classes, but in fact this idea is wrong.

You must know that at Station B, seven out of ten videos with the highest cumulative play time are related to course knowledge, among which advanced mathematics is the best.

If you really want to learn, you can double the speed and pull the progress back and forth to watch online courses you don’t understand. This method of adjusting your own pace according to your own needs is the most efficient course, rather than having to face many people. Teachers are much more efficient in teaching.

What's more, this online course is also an online course produced by the whole country of Dongguo. The level of sophistication is beyond all. There is no need to fantasize when giving examples. It is definitely better than any individual teacher.

Now, watching online courses of this quality and having teachers answer questions online is almost a perfect teaching method.

Of course, the premise of all this is that you want to learn. If you don’t want to learn, online courses are naturally meaningless.

But now is the era of natural disasters. These are all knowledge to improve the survival rate. Most of them want to learn. A small number of people who are lazy to death will also be forced to learn by Dongguo - similar to the driving test online class examination method. But it is much stricter and there are basically no loopholes.

But Jing Liu actually thinks this is quite ridiculous. He obviously cares about the other person's life, but he still wants to force the other person in this way. Some people actually don't regret dying.

Jing Liu's refuge room is relatively small. He is the only one in his family - five people, including grandpa and grandma. Grandpa and grandma share an evacuation room with Uncle Jing Liu, and now, he is the only one in the room.

The teaching method of online courses is good, but it is not the best option for some middle-aged and elderly people who have a series of problems such as being unable to operate electronic products. Although these courses are available in dialects, many elderly people are illiterate and it is not convenient to read them. With small screens and various factors, they are still more suitable for real-life classes.

When people are concentrating, time always passes quickly. When I was checking the questions raised by others in the Q&A area, a slight buzzing sound suddenly sounded in my ears. The sound gradually expanded. It was broadcast to prevent scaring people. Prepare the tone.

Soon, "Please go to the "middle floor restaurant" on the 11th floor." Jing Liu then realized that it was already twelve o'clock.

No wonder there are fewer people talking in the speaking room.

After putting on the scarf and hood hanging on the bedside and being 'fully armed', Jing Liu immediately left the room and headed for the middle-floor restaurant. There are three restaurants in the refuge building, and their names are the unpretentious low-floor restaurant, the mid-floor restaurant and Of course, a high-rise restaurant can be called a cafeteria.

He covered his body and walked through the cold corridor. When he opened the door of the restaurant, the mist filled Jing Liu's glasses, and the warmth and the aroma of steaming food embraced him.

Because the prescription was not high, Jing Liu put his glasses in his pocket and went to the nearest window to start queuing. At this time, there are already many people dining in the restaurant. This is because in order to stagger the peak, the dining times of residents on different floors are staggered.

As the team moved forward, Jing Liu, who had nothing to do, looked at the notice board above the window to check today's lunch menu.

The dishes are not extensive, but they are not unique either.

Today's meat dishes include braised pork with soybeans, braised pig's trotters, and pork fillet with small peppers. Vegetarian dishes include okra with scallion oil, headless bean sprouts, shredded potatoes, shredded zucchini, winter melon, green vegetables with garlic paste, and mushrooms.

Refuge residents can choose from one meat or two vegetarian dishes, and the staple food includes rice, noodles, and steamed buns to meet the eating habits of various places.

You can order more if you want, as long as you can pay the corresponding electronic food stamps.

"Pork fillet with small pepper, okra and bean sprouts. Please add more rice. Thank you."

It was Jing Liu's turn in the team. Jing Liu, who had already prepared a plan, said to the aunt who was getting the food.

Although the aunt's hands are not shaking, the portions of each dish are actually not large. For Jing Liu's age, the appetite is a bit small, which is made up by staple food, but in the ice disaster, it can be eaten Jing Liu felt there was nothing to complain about.

After eating all the food he prepared - even the peppers used to enhance the flavor in the pepper pork tenderloin - Jing Liucai took the CDs to the tableware area and neatly sorted and placed them. good.

At this time, it is illegal to waste food and will be severely punished - but not to the extent of Jing Liu.

So unlike university or company cafeterias, lunch time has passed so long, but the swill bucket still only has a thin layer inside, and most of it is soup and spices that are really inedible.

After receiving a neatly cut half of an apple as an after-dinner fruit, Jing Liu walked through the cold again and returned to his room.

Standing in front of the window, I looked at the outside world that started to come alive again after the hailstorm - the machines in the sky and the traffic on the ground.

He had read an article that the upward growth of seedlings was strong enough to push through small stone slabs. Every time he looked at the scene in front of him, he felt that the Eastern Kingdom would also push through the Era of Natural Disasters.

Jing Liu went to seek verification of the power of seedling growth, and no one else, because he found that some articles he had read and believed in when he was a child were actually completely bullshit.

For example, Jing Liu had read two articles before. One was about evading fares in foreign subways. Not only would he be on the credit blacklist, he would not be hired by any company in the country. The other was about washing dishes at Daohua Restaurant. He had to wash dishes for six hours. Only after washing it five times would it be enough. When an Asian guy was found lazy and only washed himself five times, he was immediately fired...

It was because of these articles that Jingliu was full of extroversion towards foreign countries when he was a child. However, when he arrived in the country of the Great Gentry, all his illusions were shattered - at the subway gates, all the young people in the Great Gentry were master hurdlers!

He also took Jing Liu to hurdles, saying that they all did this.

As for washing the dishes, that's even more nonsense. Jing Liu wanted to ask his own mind when he was a child. Who knew the difference between washing the dishes five times and washing them six times? All I can say is that public knowledge is really pervasive, everywhere, and harmful to people.

There is a term called Paris syndrome: it is a mental problem of extreme disappointment. When some people go to Paris, they feel that the city is not as good as they expected, or even far behind.

In fact, if you really go to France's Eiffel Tower, all illusions will be shattered.

Especially during the day - like a small county town on the 18th line.

After watching for more than ten minutes, his grandparents came back. Jing Liu retreated to his bed and took a nap.

This sleep was not long, and it was only 1:20 when I woke up, but Jing Liu's energy improved a lot: "Grandpa, grandma, I will go to class!"

After saying goodbye to his grandparents, Jing Liu walked downstairs this time.

"Gouzi, it's such a coincidence, why don't we go there together? I hope you won't get beaten today. It's better to beat someone else."

On the road, he met a "classmate" of his. After saying hello with a smile, Jing Liu said eagerly:

"Tell me, the instructor said that we will soon be exposed to hot weapons such as firearms. How long will this be soon? I have only touched real guns in Dashen, but I have never used them once."

"Who knows, I only know that when my girlfriend said immediately, she meant 5 minutes - 5 hours." The other party smiled and shrugged:

"We don't even know if we have started fighting now, and there is no such environment for firearms. I guess he will teach us in an earthquake disaster or a polar night disaster."

Jing Liu's afternoon class was a practical class. Because of his good physical fitness, he was selected into a special class. The members of this class are all considered to have the potential to be excellent soldiers, and they will be held to more stringent standards. .

Although it is planned to create soldiers for all people, each soldier has different abilities and corresponds to each type of arms, which varies from person to person. For example, for some elderly people, women and children, their practical courses are more about logistics and supplies, such as the most basic cooking, which they can basically do now.

At the door of the practical classroom, there are two huge 3D printed sculptures. They are alien models made according to Mr. [Hope]’s description. There are some red dots marked on the model. These red dots are the weaknesses of the alien.

Jing Liu's eyes were locked on the two aliens for a long time, with a little hope burning in his eyes.

Because of the ten-day course, Jing Liu was keenly aware of the changes in several instructors during this time - their emotions became more and more passionate, and when they talked about the future, there was more hope in their words.

And their attitude towards alien species seems to have changed. For example, at first, Jing Liu thought the instructor was telling him that when a person is facing an alien species, he should run as long as he can while protecting himself.

But now, Jing Liu felt that the instructor's teachings gradually changed to: when a person confronts a foreign species, on the premise of protecting oneself, kill if you can, and don't forget to touch the body after killing. If there is " "Strange stone" must be picked up.

It was as if... the alien species had suddenly undergone a gorgeous transformation from an unlucky thing that should have been deeply hated.

"Half of the disposal rights of the "exotic stones" harvested in this case belong to you. According to Mr. [Hope]'s memory, the changes in the human body after taking "exotic stones" are roughly as shown below. It can be seen that it is not obvious. The most efficient thing is to provide it to the country for research. The country will provide adequate compensation, but we will not interfere with your half of the disposal. "

This is what the instructor said yesterday. In fact, Jing Liu found it strange. Mr. [Hope] was cheating. How could he remember so well that he could even remember these data in detail?

Judging from Jing Liu's personal experience, maybe Mr. [Hope] revealed some news, or maybe the country has made progress in some aspects. In short, there must be changes in places that he can't see.

Jing Liu was only happy about this. Although he had no right to know what happened, it must be developing in a good direction.

The temperature of the practical classroom is considered to be very high in the evacuation building. The students can take off their heavy clothes here and practice in conditions closer to the fourth month.

"...The main enemy you will face in the future is the alien species. Everyone must remember one thing. When fighting against the alien species, it is the most foolish to think about killing it with bare hands. The reason why humans call it the terrifying erect ape Because we know how to use tools!

No matter how hard your boxing skills are, are they as hard as the rocks on the ground? No matter how hard the kick is, it's still not as powerful as a direct strike with a steel rod. In this lesson, what I want to teach you is how to find handy tools to fight or make handy tools to fight when there are no formal weapons on hand or have been scrapped under unlimited circumstances. "

The content taught by the instructor in this class was very vulgar, but very useful. He talked about the most appropriate ways to use weapons such as thrown objects and hand-held objects, and how to use some ineffective objects to make a powerful weapon. Jing Liu Listening with gusto.

"It's a pity that the mutants don't seem to have a crotch. My unique skill of monkey fishing is useless."

In the second half of the afternoon, the most painful physical training began.

"All of you, ride the generator car for me. The goal is that you can generate one kilowatt hour of electricity together. This screen will record the individual power generation of all of you. Those in the bottom half, haha, you will suffer tomorrow.

It just so happens that we also lack guinea pigs that can be beaten. With your current physique, if you can still stand after being beaten five times by me, you will be the instructors. "

When the devil's whisper sounded in their ears, everyone in Jingliu rushed towards the generator car frantically.

"It's okay to be treated as free labor. My work efficiency is low. Why do I still need to be beaten? It's me who is the black man."

"Brother, stop pedaling. Your tires are almost smoking. Just rest for a while. Rest for a while. You'll be fine."

"Zhang Kedong, you water ghost, shut up. I won't be the second half this time!"

Everyone was sweating in laughter.

Regarding the legs, it is always extremely painful after practicing. Fortunately, as students in special classes, they not only have extra free food to replenish their physical strength, but they don't have to prepare their own meals at this time.

After dinner, Jing Liu, who ranked third in power generation, stood at the stairs and thought about life.

He compared the number eleven with his hands, and then looked down at his weak legs, wanting to cry without tears.

It is well known that after overuse of the legs, the next day will be extremely painful, but if it is extremely overused, it will make you want to die on the first day.

For example, Jing Liu is now.

He was now using all his strength to even stand.

At this moment, he missed things like elevators very much. But for safety reasons, the elevator is now only used to transport goods, not people.

Why do you live on the eleventh floor? !

After spending half his life, Jing Liu finally returned to his shelter room again. He took advantage of the time when there was still hot water supply. After taking a shower, he trudged to the table and started taking the online classes of his choice in the evening.

Jing Liu chose to survive in the wild.

However, the content of the course was different from what he thought, 'Hello everyone, I am Bear Grylls.' After all, in the future, the external environment of Blue Star has undergone earth-shaking changes from before the Era of Natural Disasters, and so will the environment in the wild.

According to Mr. [Hope]’s description and the country’s deductions, the resources for survival have also shrunk and changed significantly, and the difficulty has increased sharply.

"How to make a simple bandage to prevent wound infection when injured..."

Finally, the last class of the day ended after an hour and a half.

Jing Liu exited the class window and wanted to get up and stretch his body - but he didn't get up, his legs were weak.

After rubbing his legs, Jing Liu took out his mobile phone.

Now that Dongguo 10 is over, the network is still affected to a certain extent. There are occasional problems with network communications across the country.

However, the local area networks in each shelter can still run smoothly.

"It's eight o'clock. Is Jing Liu's get out of class over?" While he was browsing the shelter news, the door to the room was pushed open and his uncle and aunt walked in.

"Well, get out of class is over." Jing Liu smiled and nodded.

"Then shall we start playing cards?" asked the uncle.

"Okay." Jing Liu is used to it. Grandpa and grandma will go to his uncle's room at this time. The old people will either sleep or chat. During their rest time, the middle-aged people choose entertainment such as playing cards.

As for Jing Liu...

"One of the three pallu limits is missing, hurry, hurry! x-on:Jing Liu." Above the shelter software, a Fetion message popped up.

"Come on, come on, get out of class has just ended!"

"I have just finished class, but when I think about my pallu having rested for more than ten hours, I feel uncomfortable all over!"

"People like you are going to be hung from street lamps!"

"It's okay, as long as the street lamp belongs to Parushi, I'll be willing to hang up."

"You really deserve to die."

"Just say it's activated or not, right?"

"start up!"

Bathed in the red light of socialism, Jing Liu happily became a capitalist in the game.

At night, the cold wind howls outside and there are only scattered spots of light, but inside the shelter, everyone uses their own way to entertain themselves in the dark era of natural disasters.

At eleven o'clock, the game time ends and Jing Liu prepares to go to bed.

Before falling asleep, he looked up at the ceiling with insulation, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Tomorrow will be such an ordinary yet extraordinary day.
