Chapter 39

    According to the previous plan, Du Cheng and Huzi, as the main force to open up the passage between the cave and the platform, would not stop digging in the cave except for the time of eating and resting. Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen carefully picked out the stones and impurities from the excavated soil, put them in sacks and put them on the platform after the passage was opened, so that crops could be planted.

    As time passed, the temperature in the mountains became cooler and cooler, and the government organized a return to the market and finally set a date.

    On October 1, those who volunteered to join the emergency repair team drove to City D in vehicles arranged by the government. The main purpose of this operation is to repair the heating pipes in the university city while the weather is moderate. The Chinese Academy of Sciences had previously notified that the temperatures in winter and summer after the earthquake were extreme and lasted for a long time. Everyone has already seen the high temperature in summer. If it wasn’t for the cooler temperature in Cangyun Mountain and the water source provided by Lake of Tears, the number of people who died of thirst and heat in the entire D city would probably not be less than the number of people who died of the plague.

    In winter, if the temperature is minus 20 or 30 degrees for two or three months, more than half of the people who survived will freeze to death. So the most important thing now is to ensure the heating in winter. Even if the problem of overwintering cannot be solved for everyone, at least it is necessary to ensure the restoration of heating in some areas and resettle the surviving vulnerable groups.

    The salaries assigned by the government to the emergency repair team are very good, three credits a day, plus the three meals provided during the emergency repair period, many people want to join. In order to repair the pipelines of the University City as soon as possible, all healthy citizens between the ages of 18 and 55 can participate. The mighty large army left, plus other people who planned to go to the city to rummage through the ruins to collect supplies, and when everyone who was supposed to leave had left, the mountain instantly became deserted.

    Wang Yang and his family also followed the car back to the urban area and lived directly in the university town.

    Wang Yang, Ke Chengwei and Wang Zhixiang signed up for the emergency repair team, while the two girls took care of Yang Yu and searched for winter supplies in their free time.

    The heavy rain in the summer made most of the food under the ruins of City D unusable, but there are still a lot of bedding, clothes and other daily necessities to be found. Seeing that the temperature is dropping rapidly, winter is not far away, so go to the market to find Supplies people are rushing to prepare for winter.

    Except for Wang Yang and a few students, Ning Qiyan didn't have much contact with the nearby residents. Now that Wang Yang and others left, Ning Qiyan directly moved the chickens, ducks and quails raised in the cave into the livestock shed in the space, and other residents. Livestock are kept together. The gate of the cave was closed, and they lived in the space directly before the cave was dug through. During the day, the four of them took turns digging in the cave, changing people when they were tired, and digging after resting.
