Chapter 235 Injured
With Jiang Ning's sharp eyes and quick hands, the little donkey sped up and dodged.
Huo Yishen raised the crossbow in his hand and fired without hesitation, only to hear screams from the ruins.
Don't stop, keep going.
The closer it was to the city center, the more people there were, and the work hall was overcrowded.
It is estimated that the contractor did not dare to cut corners, so that the municipal center could be preserved in the earthquake, but it has lost its former glory and majesty, cracked ground, mottled high walls, cracked buildings...
The work hall was crowded with many survivors, all of whom came for the new town project.
Even in the end of the world due to natural disasters, the thought is deeply ingrained, and there is a house to have a home.
If the conditions permit, I want to find opportunities to buy a suite; if the conditions are not allowed, I want to save points for goods.
Dozens of pages of paper were densely pasted on the bulletin board, all of which were lists of points exchanged for various materials.
There is also a precious electronic display screen in the hall, scrolling to display the same content.
After spending half an hour, the two of them finished reading the relevant content, and then looked at each other, both feeling unhappy.
Complete rebar is indeed expensive, but the finished house is even more expensive.
A two-bedroom apartment requires 5,000 points, while a villa requires 50,000 points.
By the way, it can no longer be called a villa, it is a separate small courtyard with two floors, and the two-bedroom is really two-bedroom, without a living room and toilet, only about 15 square meters.
what does that mean? It's not the official black heart, but the resources are too scarce, and the threshold can only be raised to satisfy some survivors.
No living room is understandable, but no toilet... ahem!
Jiang Ning teased Huo Yishen, hoping he could popularize science.
Huo Yi lowered his voice deeply, "There is a lack of various building materials in the last days, and toilets cannot be made without waterproof paint. Once leakage occurs, the quality of the house will be damaged."
The steel bars have been frozen in extreme cold, and the material has been affected to some extent. The floors cannot be built too high, and five or six floors are already the limit.
At that time, public bathhouses and toilets will be built, which can be regarded as solving the reincarnation of grains.
Jiang Ning was shocked. Didn't he have to go out to the toilet at night? Or put a bucket of shit and urine at home.
Remembering the key points, Huo Yi pulled her away from the crowd and found a quiet place, "The villa needs 50,000 points and 2,000 catties of grain, but it has a yard and a toilet."
He did some calculations, and took out all the steel bars and tiles that the two of them had hoarded before, plus 2,500 catties of grain, they could buy a villa and a two-bedroom apartment.
"Why do you need so many points?" Jiang Ning frowned, "The house in my previous life was also so expensive?"
Of course not, at least one zero must be erased.
Huo Yishen didn't understand at first, but soon he figured it out, "Few people survived the earthquake in his previous life, but this time the official early warning, most people survived, which means that resources are more scarce and the competition for survival is more intense. "
"You mean that the government intends to increase the points for buying houses in exchange for more resources so that the survivors at the bottom can survive."
With so many people surviving, almost none of them can afford to buy a house, so the government can only raise housing prices and harvest the leeks of the middle and high class.
In layman's terms, it is to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
Jiang Ning counted the building materials in the space, shook his head and said, "We can't donate all the materials, we need to decorate the villa after it is finished."
In addition, it is very cool to be neighbors with rich people, but when the environment is extremely harsh, the villa area is not safe.
For example, polar night, the cost of crime is very low.
In case the villa falls, where will we retreat?
Even if there is an extra two-bedroom apartment, but with Doudou and the dog, and raising rabbits, it is impossible to make ends meet.
Therefore, not only villas are required, but at least 2 sets of two-bedroom apartments are required.
But in this way, the hoarded building materials are not enough.
Precious materials are unusable, steel bars are more valuable, ceramic tiles can be exchanged for not many points, and as for glass... it has to be reserved for decoration of villas to prevent acid rain.
Jiang Ning has a new idea, "We can stockpile other building materials with relatively high points, and strive to exchange for one more two-bedroom apartment."
"Sand and wood?"
"These two are the most in demand." Jiang Ning nodded and said, "The Fengcheng River is next to Aoyuan. As long as you are willing to dig, there will be no shortage of sand."
For wood, you can go deep into the mountains.
For others, these two things are actually not difficult, but how to solve the transportation problem is rare.
But Jiang Ning has room to cheat. If he wants wood, he only needs to go to the mountain.
Leaving the Civic Center, it was quite early, Jiang Ning didn't want to go back to lay salted fish, "How about walking?"
Everywhere is dangerous, and the two have no friends in Fengcheng, Huo Yishen suggested: "Go to see Grandma Zhong?"
Jiang Ning has no objection, "OK."
All members of the Zhong family cleared the customs during the extreme cold. I wonder if they survived the super earthquake?
It's not too far away, and I passed by riding a little donkey.
There are ruins everywhere, which makes people feel extremely depressed, especially when the family building of the scientific research institute collapsed.
The building where Grandma Zhong lived fell down.
Jiang Ning stood in front of the ruins, a little dazed.
The woman picking up waste not far away raised her head, "Little girl, who are you looking for?"
Jiang Ning was stunned for a while before saying, "I'm looking for Zhong Ping's family."
"Zhong Ping and the others..."
The woman thought for a long time before she pointed to the distance and said, "It seems to be over there."
Two to three hundred meters away, densely packed with tents, wooden houses and the like.
The scientific research institute collapsed and only one building remained, but the research work must continue, so the family members could only be wronged.
Jiang Ning asked, "Is their family okay?"
The woman sighed deeply, "My son is in the same group as Zhong Ping's father. I heard him mention a few words a while ago. The old lady seems to have been injured in the earthquake, and her condition is not very good."
After thanking them, the two went to the temporary shanty town.
Worried about being unsafe, Jiang Ning wiped two handfuls of ashes on his face and clothes.
The air in the shantytowns is dirty, garbage and filth can be seen everywhere, the survivors are unkempt, and there are dilapidated materials piled up next to the tents or wooden houses.
After asking several times, I found the dilapidated tent.
Mother Zhong squatted in front of the tent, using an earthen stove to boil herbs, "Mom, the medicine is almost ready."
A cough came from the tent, "Don't waste food to change medicines, I've already lived up to this point."
Mother Zhong added firewood to the pit, "Mom, don't think about it, if you let Zhong Ping hear it, you should be worried. You are fine, except that you are getting old and recover slowly."
When it came to Jiang Ning, Zhong Mu was very surprised, "Why are you here?"
"I'm doing errands nearby, so I stopped by to see you."
Mother Zhong was very happy, she wiped her hands and led people in, "Come in, please."
The tent was cramped, but it was tidy and there was no peculiar smell.
Grandma turned sideways, "Xiao Jiang and Xiao Huo are here?"
His complexion is not very good, he is listless and lacks energy, he feels a few years older than the last time we met, and his cheeks are thin and out of shape.
Jiang Ning sat on the ground, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I hurt my head during the earthquake."
Just as Grandma Zhong was about to sit up, she felt the world spinning.
Mother Zhong hurriedly helped her to lie down, and explained to the two of them: "Zhong Ping made an iron box for shock absorption. During the earthquake, our whole family wrapped in thick clothes and got inside. I didn't expect the earthquake to be so severe."
The sky is falling apart, and the weather is so hot that if you don't die from the shock, you will be suffocated to death.
Grandma Zhong escaped the earthquake, but not the aftershocks, and was in trouble as soon as she got out of the iron box.
The old man was inflexible and fell to the ground and was injured by flying stones.
The materials were exchanged for exorbitantly expensive anti-inflammatory drugs, and the trauma was barely healed, but he suffered from headaches and dizziness, no matter how much medicine he used, it was not good.
The elderly have a heavy mental burden, and they always feel that they are dragging down their children and grandchildren, which makes them more depressed and ill.
Jiang Ning saw it, smiled and comforted, "Grandma, if you trust my poor medical skills, I'll show you."
"That's great." Mother Zhong thanked repeatedly.
The barefoot doctor she hired outside opened her mouth to talk nonsense, and almost scared the old man to death not to mention treating the disease.
