Traveling through the new apocalyptic era

Chapter 99 Heavy rain in the middle of the night
Starting at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the sky becomes dark. The winter days are always so short and disappear before five o'clock. Fortunately, this place is close to the sea. The temperature drops slowly in winter, and the temperature is above ten degrees. The temperature difference between day and night is not very big. , but it will be colder if there is wind.

Yin Ling looked at the sky. The sun was setting and it was a little gloomy. The wind was blowing gray clouds, as if a storm was coming.

The group walked for a day, covering less than 40 kilometers. The speed was good at first, but then it slowed down. Grandma was already sitting on the wooden cart, leaning on the quilt on the cart, holding a sack of clothes. It's not heavy at all. When I feel uncomfortable, I just get down and walk, but I can still hold on. Although Xiao Ling and his younger brother have already wilted, they are still holding on. When Yin Ling sees that the people in front of him have no intention of stopping, he continues to walk ahead. .

It was already dark an hour later, and the group saw two rows of simple prefabricated houses at construction sites, which were built along the way for people passing by to rest. Yin Ling suddenly realized that it turned out that Dad and the others had never stopped to rest. In order to find a rest station, yes, it is very similar to the inns set up on various official roads in ancient times.

We were finally able to rest, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The house was not clean, but there was no garbage, just dust. Yin's father pushed the wooden cart to an empty house, and Yin's mother started to get pots, rice and water. , prepare to cook porridge and heat some steamed buns to eat.

Yin Ling took Xiao Ling and his brother and sister to collect firewood and planks for burning nearby. Fortunately, they brought firewood and coal. They also picked up sticks and sticks when they encountered them on the way. They didn't go far, and the three of them returned empty-handed. , the two families here have set up a fire. There are large and small fire pits piled with stones left by the previous people. Start the fire, put the iron pot on it, add water and a small amount of rice, and use a few wooden sticks to set it up. A few steamed buns are enough.

Father Yin and Father Xiao sat aside and looked at the map by the light of the fire. They were studying where to stay tomorrow night. Yin Ling leaned over and saw that on the old map, a black line was marked with red dots on it. , the thick black line is their walking route, and the red dots are the places where they can rest and sleep.

Dad Xiao is indeed the one who made the preparations. He made detailed notes on every place. Fortunately, he set off with them this time, otherwise they would have suffered a lot if they set off rashly this time.

The porridge was relatively thin, but everyone drank two bowls. Yin Ling drank two bowls of gruel. A multi-grain steamed bun with shredded kelp was actually not bad. When I used to go to work, a steamed bun and a cup of soy milk were enough in the morning, and it didn’t matter. It’s time to sit down and eat something hot. I usually eat while walking, and then catch the subway. Now everyone is the same. I don’t work overtime, the traffic is not crowded, I go to work nearby, and I go to bed after eating. In addition to not eating well, it seems to be quite comfortable. Yes, children haven't gone to school yet. Yes, everything is focused on production and survival. School education has not been started yet. I'm afraid it will take another two years.

After eating, Yin Ling drank a mouthful of cold water to rinse his mouth, and then swallowed the water. He couldn't waste a drop of water, so he had to rest.

She still slept in a prefabricated house with her grandmother. The floor was covered with their own raincloth, and then a quilt was spread on them. They each covered themselves with a quilt. Grandma was afraid of the cold weather, so she put a cotton coat on top of the quilt to keep warm.

After a day's journey, everyone was tired. Unfortunately, the mobile cabin was not soundproof. The father next door and the father Xiao next door were snoring loudly. Yin Ling lay with her eyes closed and her five senses were sensitive, so she felt it was very noisy. She wanted to just seal her ears, but she thought that if something happened at night, something might happen to her if she wasn't alert enough, so she closed her eyes and listened to the snoring coming from the wind outside the house.

Yin Ling didn't know when she woke up, but she was woken up by the rain. She woke up as soon as the rain started. Without him, the raindrops hit the wooden house very loudly. Yin Ling covered her clothes with the quilt. Going to grandma, she quietly stood up and stood in front of the glass window as big as a tablet computer and looked out. It was very dark and the wind was much stronger than when she was asleep.

Just when Yin Ling wanted to open the window and feel the raindrops, a bolt of lightning split from the sky. Yin Ling stood by the window and felt a dazzling light coming over him. He closed his eyes subconsciously, and then the lightning disappeared and a thunder sounded. The earthquake wakes up.

The light rain that was just crackling turned into a downpour in an instant, and all the people sleeping in the prefabricated house were suddenly awakened.Yin Ling hurriedly walked to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, it's thundering and raining. Put on your clothes first." The rain would overflow very quickly like this, making it impossible to sleep.

Cui Qiu felt her heart tightening. She was helped up by Yin Ling and sat down for a while. With Yin Ling's help, she put on her clothes and said, "How can there be thunder? It's only the beginning of February, and it's raining like this." It's too big." It was so big that it seemed like it was going to break a hole in the roof.

"Linger, Linger!"

Along with the sound of rain, her mother's shout could be heard faintly. Yin Ling helped her grandmother and walked to the window and responded twice, "Mom, my grandmother and I are fine!"

She didn't know if she heard it, but she probably did, because she didn't hear her mother calling her anymore, but she heard Xiao Feng calling her parents next door.

Yin Ling folded the bedding, wrapped it in a raincloth, tied it with a rope, and placed it on a big stone in the house that someone had brought in to use as a table. Then he supported his grandmother and stood in front of the window to listen to the sound of rain. thunder.

After a thunderstorm, there were constant thunders of all sizes. I don’t know what happened to the base. They are now trapped here and see that the water has begun to overflow. It is now 3:[-] at night. According to the current amount of rain, maybe it will be dawn. This place will be flooded. It's not far from the base, and the situation at the base must not be much better.

After a while, Yin Ling heard footsteps, and then there was a knock on the door of the cabin. When the door opened, Dad Yin came over wrapped in a raincoat, holding two pairs of rubber shoes and a raincloth in his hand, "Put on your shoes first, I'll Send you two to our place, your mother won’t worry about you here.”

Yin Ling nodded, and after helping her grandma put on her shoes, she asked her father to carry her on his back. Yin Ling helped wrap the raincloth and asked her father to carry her.Fortunately, it was right next door, and she arrived in just three or five steps. Yin Ling wrapped herself in a raincloth and rushed out with the wrapped quilt. The rainwater around her obediently avoided her. After entering the house, Yin Ling closed the door directly. .

In the room, Yin's mother had already lit the oil lamp, which just illuminated the room.

Yin's father quickly took the bedding from Yin Ling's hand and put it on the cart. Yin's mother had already covered the cart with raincloths. Fortunately, she brought all the large and small raincloths collected at home. It was also intended to be used in case of rain. It can cover the stroller, I didn’t expect to use it so quickly.

"Mom, please sit in the car and squint for a while. We will check the situation when it gets light." Zhu Yun helped her mother to the back of the cart, let her sit down against the quilt, covered her with clothes, and got off The rainy day is a bit cooler.
