Chapter 79

After a severe drought, there must be a severe flood. Yu Nan didn't know whether the previous level could be considered a severe drought, but it had been raining for a few days.Yu Zhensheng has not been home since he went to participate in the flood drainage work of the base on the third day. He can only make a few minutes of phone calls in his spare time every day to let his family know that he is all right.

A thick layer of water had accumulated in the yard, pouring down through the not-so-tightly sealed windows into the basement, and the sewer couldn't get out. Seeing that the water level was getting higher and higher, people could swim in it.

Yu Nan stood at the door, looking up at the still gloomy clouds in the sky, "I don't know when the rain will stop. The basement is already flooded by two-thirds."

"I can only find a container to drain it artificially." Zhan Xuyang stood behind her and said in a deep voice, "At the current speed, the water level will rise to one level in one to two days."

Yu Nan pursed her lips, "Do you want me to get a water pump?"

Zhan Xuyang sighed, and put a hand on her shoulder, "The lighting electricity is not enough, how can there be extra electricity to start the water pump?"

"How high is the water on the ground? 20 centimeters? Or 30 centimeters? If the rain doesn't stop, the drained water will still flow back." Yu Nan frowned.

"If you don't smoke, it will be troublesome when the first floor is flooded." The facts Zhan Xuyang said really make people unhappy.Fortunately, there are not many things in the basement, so they can let the rainwater keep pouring, instead of starting to act as soon as the water accumulates.

"Actually, I can help." Jiajia raised her head and said while studying on the sofa.

"Okay little guy, if necessary, we will definitely tell you, can you?" Zhan Xuyang turned back and said.It's true that Jiajia is a person with superpowers, but she is still a child first.

"Well, I know you always think I'm too young, even though I'm already 9 years old." Jiajia said while looking at them while playing with the mechanical pencil in her hand.

"Hmm" Yu Nan dragged his voice, turned around and walked back to the sofa to sit down, "Aren't you the youngest among us?"

"How about finding a kid who is younger than me next time?" Jiajia asked expectantly.

Yu Nan cocked the corner of her mouth in a funny way, and poked her soft cheek, "It's too young to take care of. Or is it because you want someone to bully you, that's why you hope so?"

"It's not." Jiajia pouted and continued to study with her head down.

Yu Nan and Zhan Xuyang stared at the door in silence, and Tangyuan barked a few times in her sleep, like the voice of a little milk dog.

After sitting for a long time, Yu Nan looked at Zhan Xuyang who was still standing motionless at the door, "Aren't you tired? Come and have a rest. I'll go upstairs to look at the vegetables and fruits. They haven't been exposed to the sun for a few days. They don't grow very well. Good." As for the plants in the yard, there is nothing we can do, we can only let them fend for themselves.

"You go, I'm fine." Zhan Xuyang said, turning around his stiff body.

Many vegetable leaves on the balcony have turned yellow, and some have even turned yellowish brown.Yu Nan used scissors to cut off the yellow and rotten leaves, and lost some powers, and saw that the vegetables returned to their previous state.

Speaking of which, this ability is easy to use, it can cure diseases, and it can be used as fertilizer. Basically, as long as the problem is not serious, just lose a little bit in it.Although it's not troublesome, after all, there are too many vegetables growing on the balcony, and when she's done with them, even the meal is over.

Zhan Xuyang made the dinner. Hearing that Cheng Yongzhi had run out of food, he asked Gu Ming to borrow 20 catties of rice to go back. "You don't have to think about asking them to pay it back. Anyway, Brother Cheng will keep this in mind, and he will definitely not lose us when the next mission is settled." Yu Nan said, "There are so many of them, so save the 20 catties of rice. Eating means eating for three days, and if it doesn’t stop raining by then, you can send some to them.”

"Okay." Zhan Xuyang agreed, "We don't have much rice left, and there are two pieces of meat left."

"Understood." Yu Nan nodded, "It's hot, it's raining and humid, so let's make less rice this time, so as not to get moldy. What kind of meat do you want? Pork or beef and mutton? There is a grill at home. Why don't we have barbecue by ourselves? You can also call Brother Cheng and the others together."

"It's raining so hard, I guess they won't come over, you'd better not make a fuss, and be careful not to notice it."

"Okay." Yu Nan curled her lips, not saying that she actually wanted to eat it herself.If there are fewer people, there will be fewer types of food to eat, and it’s not worth it to only make two or three skewers, so I thought about letting Cheng Yongzhi and the others come together.After thinking about it, she slid next to Zhan Xuyang, "Then how about the three of us eating? We bake in the kitchen by ourselves, and no one else can see it. We go out as soon as we open the window to smoke.

Zhan Xuyang looked back at her with a smile in his eyes, "If you want to eat, just say so, and you don't need to call anyone else, just the three of us. You make what you want to eat, and I'll bake it for you."

"Okay, that's it!" Yu Nan said quickly, and ran to ask Jiajia what she wanted to eat. As for Zhan Xuyang, she could make a good guess.

After talking on the phone with Yu Zhensheng at night, Zhan Xuyang and Yu Nan braved the rain to drain a lot of water from the basement before returning to their rooms.

After taking a cold shower, Yu Nan opened the system mall and found barbecue ingredients sold by skewers.At the beginning, she was preconceived and wanted to screw it up. She always felt that she had to cut and skewer the skewers by herself. She used to do this before, so she forgot that there are many markets, supermarkets, etc. that can help skewer the meat and vegetables. Sold by the string.Thanks to her thinking about it later, she came up with the following proposal.

I bought it as written on the list, bought rice and the meat I usually eat and put it in my backpack, and then switched to the synthesis page.The transformation potion needs 500 energy points, which is not a small amount. Since the last time I remembered that Zhan Xuyang and the others didn't know how much to drink was the upper limit, she planned to save enough points to transform first.This is a major matter related to the safety of going out in the future. Yu Nan is also very careful about it. He has saved more than 400 yuan so far. If he stays up late tonight, he should be able to make up enough.

It was raining outside all night, and when he heard the movement in the next room, Yu Nan rubbed his dry eyes, looked at the number stuck at 499 with regret, put on his clothes and got up.

"Why is your complexion so bad? Didn't you sleep well?" Just bumped into Zhan Xuyang when he was going out.

"Hmm." Yu Nan replied vaguely, "Help me get things." She carried rice in one hand and meat in the other, and there were a lot of skewers on the table in the room that couldn't be carried.

Tangyuan was lying on the edge of the sofa, and when she saw her, she immediately followed her, and followed her into the kitchen.Yu Nan piled things up on the cabinet, touched Tang Yuan's head, and stuffed a rib into its mouth. "Hey, go and play by yourself, don't make trouble here." Yu Nan washed her hands again and prepared to make breakfast.

Zhan Xuyang took the remaining dozens of skewers to the kitchen, "Where do you put them?"

"Just find a place to put it. The refrigerator at home can't be used. It doesn't matter where you put it. Just don't open it, or you won't be able to eat it when the ice inside melts." These skewers are very fresh when they are taken out of the backpack. , Worried about deterioration, she bought a foam box and put several ice packs in it.As long as the air circulation is blocked, it is fine to put it on for a whole day.

Yu Nan scooped rice and added water to cook the porridge. Zhan Xuyang called out the glutinous rice balls and went out of the kitchen. When the pot was opened, salt and preserved eggs were added, and the pot lid was left to cook slowly.

Looking through the vegetables in the refrigerator, he took out a zucchini and two mutated eggs.Cut the zucchini into thin shreds, put in salt to marinate for a while, wait for the water to come out, add eggs and some flour, stir well to make a batter, and fry in a pan until both sides are golden.

At this moment, the porridge is almost done, so turn off the fire and continue to be stuffy.After frying all the remaining pancakes, they brought them to the dining table, and placed a small dish of pickles. "Dinner, is Jiajia still awake?"

"No, let her sleep, and warm her up when she wakes up." Zhan Xuyang went to the kitchen and took two pairs of chopsticks and came back to sit down.

Yu Nan served two bowls of porridge and sat down too. "Spoon." She handed over a small spoon.

Zhan Xuyang picked it up, and the two of them ate slowly.

"When do you plan to barbecue?" He took a sip of porridge, picked up a piece of cake and ate slowly.

Yu Nan thought for a while, "Let's go at night, we both have to work in the morning, so we'll just make do at noon and bake in the afternoon."

"It doesn't matter at noon. The water won't flood up today. I just went to the door to check. The rain has calmed down. Maybe it will stop today."

"It can be stopped, but it may not be sunny, and there is no wind, and the clouds are thick, and there is still some down." Yu Nan shook her head, and stopped once the day before yesterday, but unfortunately it only lasted half a day.

After eating, I fed glutinous rice balls, took a short rest, put on my raincoat and rain boots and went to the basement with a bucket.The water level seemed to be [-] to [-] centimeters higher than before they went to bed last night, and the two of them went straight to work without saying a word.

During this period, Jiajia woke up, and obediently heated up the meal by herself.

Buckets of water were carried out and dumped in the yard, and then they flowed down the windows back into the basement.This is an endless loop, as long as the rain doesn't stop, their drainage work can't stop.Fortunately, the speed of water seepage is slow, and they can still have a rest.

"Take a break, today is fine." Zhan Xuyang threw the bucket on the steps.The current water depth is about [-] to [-] centimeters, and it can last for two days.

At noon, after filling his stomach, Yu Nan excused his lunch break to go back to his room and brush another energy crystal. Finally, he got enough value and bought the Transformation Potion.The potion is the color of green grass in early spring, and it has no taste at all, and I don't feel anything after drinking it.But looking at the value on the panel, it has indeed turned to 20.

After completing a matter of concern, Yu Nan dozed off after lying on the bed for a while, and didn't wake up until Jiajia came to wake her up. "Sister Xiao Nan, get up, the mouse is coming!"

"What?" Yu Nan was still confused, obviously not awake.

"Mouse, such a big mouse!" Jia Jia gestured, it was about twenty or thirty centimeters tall.

Yu Nan sat up in shock, "What's going on?" She took Jia Jia's hand and hurried out, "Where's your brother Xu?"

"Brother Xu is locking the door and windows. He asked me to wake you up and go to the top floor."

"Jiajia, can you go upstairs first? I have to help your elder brother Xu." Yu Nan bent down, holding Jiajia's small face and said.

"I can help too."

Yu Nan just wanted to refuse, but when she saw the expectation in her eyes, she nodded again, "Okay." It's not good for a child to pamper and protect blindly, and it's easy to grow crooked.

The two hurried downstairs and saw Zhan Xuyang hurriedly closing the steel plates on the windows on the first floor.The incident with the zombie bird reminded them last time. After recovering from the injury, Zhan Xuyang asked someone to put steel plates on every window in the building, so that they could be put down whenever they were attacked.

"Why did you two come down!" Zhan Xuyang turned around and said something, and then he couldn't care about them anymore.

"Boom... ah... ah ah..." The shrill voice outside made people's skin crawl, Yu Nan shivered, and ran up a few steps to help.

"Bang..." Yu Nan closed the steel plate, locked it again, and ran to the next window.
