Chapter 10 Fetching Water
Three figures leaned down and walked out of the storage room from under the door.
The plastic bucket was shaped by Chen Mu into a ring that was easy to carry. It was straddled diagonally on Wei Dalei's body like a hula hoop. After all, a large bucket-shaped thing, even if it is not heavy, is very inconvenient to carry, and for Chen Mu Generally speaking, once you do it once, it will be much easier the second time.
It was almost dusk outside, and the setting sun was about to touch the skyline.
For humans at this time, there may be only the sun and the moon, which look no different from before.
Wei Dalei took the lead and asked Chen Mu and Tang Jing to keep a distance from him, so that if they encountered danger and needed to escape, the two behind them would have enough time to react.
Although Chen Mu felt it was not necessary, he did not refuse his kindness.
Walked a few steps.
Chen Mu asked Tang Jing beside him: "The road outside is not easy to walk, and after dark, our danger will be greatly increased. Why do you have to follow us?" Tang Jing said with a smile: "There are only
two or three kilometers. Click tight and you'll be back within an hour. Also, do you know where the storage room for drinks is?" "I
probably know from your description."
"My description is wrong," Tang Jing said.
"Huh?" Chen Mu stopped.
"It's not wrong. The place I mentioned does store a lot of drinks, but there should be another place, and it's closer, but I'm not 100% sure." "Then why did you just...
"
" Because we have to continue to fetch water in the future, if we are happy in vain, it will have a great impact on morale."
"Yes."
Chen Mu nodded, agreeing with Tang Jing's approach, started walking again, and asked: "That Where is the place?"
"It's in another storage room halfway up the road, so even if there isn't one inside, it won't waste too much time." "
Why do canteens like to set up so many small storage rooms? Isn't it good to put things together? ?" Chen Mu was puzzled.
"Canteen is just a general term. In fact, there are many subcontractors in it. For example, the chef is from one company, the cleaning company is from another company, and each window serving food may also have different owners." "Is it necessary to make it so complicated?"
Chen Mu is really not very clear about these things.
"I don't care about the specific reason. Maybe it's profit distribution, but it's like this in many schools, especially universities." Tang Jing spread her hands.
It's getting darker.
The outdoor cement floor seemed to be nothing in the past, but now that it has become smaller, I discovered that the ground is full of pits and unevenness. It even looks a bit undulating when viewed from a distance. The sky is getting darker and the light is getting darker. It's getting worse and worse, and I always feel like danger is always nearby.
Tang Jing almost fell down several times at first, but Chen Mu held her up. However, the study committee member was very adaptable. After walking for a few minutes, she no longer needed help.
After walking for about ten minutes, Tang Jing pointed to a room in front of her that had the same specifications as the previous storage room and said, "This is it."
Chen Mu stopped Wei Dalei.
"Are we here?" Although Wei Dalei felt that the journey was much shorter than expected, he didn't think much about it.
Chen Mu didn't explain, and led the two of them straight in under the door.
After entering.
Chen Mu looked around at the surrounding heights and found that this was a place to store food. Several bags of rice were piled on the ground, and there were small bags of flour on the shelves beside the wall.
"Food?" Chen Mu's voice was filled with surprise.
"This is also the second reason why I want to come here to take a look. Now it seems that I have made the right bet." Tang Jing also looked happy.
"Can we move here?" Chen Mu asked again.
"No." Tang Jing shook her head: "The biggest problem with the granary is that there are rats. In the past, people often came in and cleaned it, which was better. But now that there are no humans, this place will soon become a paradise for various rodents. Not only can we not live here, we have to stay as far away from here as possible in the future. This much rice and noodles are enough for the rats to eat for a long time."
Chen Mu was also in a daze for a while, but after Tang Jing reminded him, he immediately understood and nodded: "Then we try our best to Go back more often."
"You may need to come a few more times. Let's wait until tomorrow. Let's bring the water back today."
Tang Jing pointed to the position behind the door against the wall.
Chen Mu turned around and saw an open cardboard box placed there. Judging from the pattern, it should be a box of mineral water.
Nongfu Mountain Spring, 380ml bottled natural drinking water, 24 bottles in a box.
The three of them walked to the opening of the carton and found that four or five bottles had been taken away.
Although it is only in a small bottle, such a bottle of water is like a tall tower in the eyes of Chen Mu and others.
"Why don't you just carry a bottle back."
Wei Dalei did a few stretching movements, and then walked confidently into the horizontally opened cardboard box.
Neither Chen Mu nor Tang Jing stopped him.
One minute later.
Wei Dalei came back dejected: "Gan, this thing is too heavy, let alone moving it, it is impossible to even put it down."
Chen Mu smiled and said: "Old Wei, you have to use your brain, even if you can move it , can we still take it out from under the door?"
"Yes." Wei Dalei patted his head.
Tang Jing smiled: "If this bottle of water can be moved back, not counting loss and evaporation, it will be enough for us people to drink for decades."
Chen Mu was stunned: "Is it so long?"
Tang Jing said: "Suppose a People originally need to drink 3000ml of water every day, but with their current body size, they only need 0.003ml, which is 0.03ml based on ten people. This bottle of water is 380ml and can be drunk for more than 12,600 days, which is about 35 years." Chen
Mu Although Mathematics is not bad, it is far from the level of mental arithmetic. I vaguely feel that this algorithm is counterintuitive, but I did not delve into it.
Wei Dalei wouldn't think too much about it. Since Tang Jing said it, it must be right.
"In other words, a bottle of mineral water can last us 35 years?"
"Of course not."
Tang Jing said with a smile: "In fact, there must be losses, and people not only need to drink water, wash, Showering and washing clothes are the major uses of water. The most important thing is that bottled water will deteriorate within a few days after being opened, so the question of how long a bottle of water can last is actually not very meaningful. If we want to survive for a long time, There must be a stable water supply system."
"Build your own water plant?" Chen Mu said with a smile.
"Maybe." Tang Jing blinked.
"I hope so." Chen Mu laughed.
Tang Jing smiled and did not answer, and changed the subject: "Let's get water quickly, they probably can't wait."
Chen Mu changed his hand and turned the machete into a spear, and then gently stroked his head with his hand for a moment, making the spear The tip became sharper and sharper, then he took a few steps back and used his run-up to stab the spear into the side of the mineral water bottle.
However, today's plastic bottles are too thick for Chen Mu. The spear did penetrate, but failed to penetrate.
He sighed and handed the spear to Wei Dalei.
Even before, Chen Mu couldn't compare to Wei Dalei in terms of brute strength, let alone now that this guy has awakened his abilities.
Although he can use his ability to make a hole in the bottle, Chen Mu is not sure whether a plastic bottle that is under water pressure is as easy to control as an empty bottle. Moreover, he has always adhered to the principle of not using abilities unless absolutely necessary when he is out. Of course, it is to save mental energy to prevent emergencies.
Wei Dalei took the spear, used one arm to exert force, made a sideways and backward movement, and thrust out the spear with a "hoo" sound.
This spear not only pierced the bottle, but also penetrated half of the spear body.
Wei Dalei held the spear and stirred it in circles to make the hole in the bottle larger.
Then pull back.
Cool water gushes out.
