Chapter 19 The vegetables in the space are cooked
The downpour had stopped by the time the people downstairs rowed out in their boats, and then they saw several corpses floating on the water, which was covered with debris.
I don't know which building it was from, but I'm sure it was someone from another building who robbed them after the supplies were distributed yesterday, and then threw them into the flood under the cover of night.
From this perspective, the people in Bai Tang's building are relatively well-off; at least no one has died.
However, they didn't have time to feel sad for others; they were only thinking about finding some supplies as soon as possible, because their families were waiting for them to save their lives.
Bai Tang and the others looked at the chaotic water outside from inside the house and discussed using a speedboat to go to a more distant place to check the situation.
While I'm at it, I'll see if I can do a free purchase, or stock up on some supplies that can be burned during extreme cold.
When Bai Tang went into the space to find the assault boat, she came out looking confused and then pulled Gu Yanxu into the bedroom as well.
He closed the door and led Gu Yanxu into the space.
The vegetables planted more than a week ago are already lush and green, ripe and ready to be harvested.
The fruit trees planted nearby were also laden with fruit.
Gu Yanxu asked, "Tangtang, can things in this space grow this fast?"
Bai Tang also looked confused and said, "I don't know either. There's no instruction manual for this space."
"Could it be because this space has spiritual energy? The water in that stream over there always feels very comfortable to drink."
"That's possible, but with just the two of us acquiring so much land, I doubt we could manage it all."
Bai Tang said, "It's okay. We can ask Xiao Yang to help with the collection later. We can also consider telling Lin Fan and the others. We might as well make use of this free labor."
"You're right. I'll talk to them about it when I get back."
After Bai Tang finished speaking, she led Gu Yanxu and the speedboat out of the space.
Then Bai Jiyang and the others carried the assault boat out of the bedroom.
Bai Tang asked Lin Zhou and Bai Jiyang to stay at home.
The inflatable boat can seat six people, but their purpose in going out was to see how much of the mountains to the north had been flooded. Bai Tang had long planned to come here to cut down trees to make a fire for warmth during the extreme cold.
Although there is a lot of charcoal in Baitang Space, it's free, so why not take it?
After instructing Bai Jiyang and the other two to keep a close watch at home, Bai Tang and his group went downstairs with the assault boat and weapons.
They carried weapons in case of unforeseen circumstances, such as being robbed on the road, so they could fight back.
When they passed by the stairwell, the people who lived there would keep their distance, afraid of offending them.
No one dared to cause trouble for Bai Tang and her group as they walked downstairs.
Before long, we arrived at the stairwell on the ninth floor.
The area below the ninth floor was completely flooded, making it impossible to exit through the main entrance.
The only way out was through the window in the stairwell on the ninth floor.
The people who went out earlier had already removed the windows, saving Bai Tang and the others the trouble.
After the inflatable boat was placed in the water, they slowly boarded it.
Then drive away into the distance.
All I could see was floodwater and houses destroyed by it.
Some older residential areas have been completely submerged by the flood, and we don't know what's happening to the people inside.
Because Bai Tang was not in Shengshi in her previous life, she asked Gu Yanxu.
Gu Yanxu said, "I'm not very clear about the situation in the old residential areas either."
"Forget it, let's see how it goes. Let's just focus on ourselves first."
After about an hour's drive, the speedboat finally arrived at Beishan in the suburbs, following the direction of the compass.
The bottom of the mountain has been flooded, with large areas of trees submerged and floating in the water, creating a very eerie scene.
Then Bai Tang and the others pulled over and got off the boat.
He simply stored the ship in his spatial storage, since no one else would see it in this desolate wilderness.
Bai Tang told them, "We're going to cut down all the trees on this hill and take them back, because the temperature is already dropping, and they might just freeze."
Lin Feng said, "My sister-in-law is right. Who knows what will happen next with this awful weather? It's better to be prepared."
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu gave Lin Fan and Lin Feng each an automatic chainsaw and told them to go and chop in the east and south.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu were in charge of the west and north sides, respectively.
Gu Yanxu was in charge of cutting down the trees, and Bai Tang was in charge of knocking them down.
Then pile the trees together and put the white crabapple trees into the space.
We chopped for about an hour, and then it was time for lunch.
Lin Feng's side of the trees had been almost completely cut down, so they went over and put the fallen dead trees into their spatial storage.
Due to prolonged heavy rain, many trees have withered, and since it is indeed autumn, most of the hillside is covered with dead trees.
The hill wasn't very big, so they didn't have to work very hard to cut it down.
After a while, Bai Tang invited them to lunch.
Since they were eating out, Bai Tang took out food that had been prepared and packaged beforehand and stored in her space.
Bai Tang took out several aluminum boxes from her backpack, which contained the food she had prepared earlier.
They also took out several cans of food, one for each person.
When Lin Fan and his companion arrived and saw the box, they couldn't help but wonder what kind of food was inside.
Bai Tang didn't try to be mysterious and simply opened the boxes one by one to show them what dishes were inside.
The first dish contained sweet and sour pork, the second contained braised pork slices, the third contained shredded pork with garlic sauce, the fourth contained eggplant fritters, and the fifth contained braised potatoes and beef stew.
There were also several other boxes containing rice and steamed buns.
Since she wasn't sure what they wanted to eat, Bai Tang took out one of everything.
This way, everyone can choose what they want to eat.
Bai Tang turned around and took out chopsticks and other eating utensils from her backpack.
They each chose a dish and a meal, then found a large rock to sit on and eat.
We originally planned to eat together, but because it had been raining a lot, the soil on the mountain was sticky and there was nowhere to put the food containers. We couldn't just put the food on the ground to eat.
That would be too messy; they'll just have to eat their own food now.
Bai Tang chose shredded pork with garlic sauce to go with rice. The two are a perfect match, and the broth from the shredded pork with garlic sauce is incredibly delicious with rice.
With shredded pork in fish-fragrant sauce and rice, Bai Tang felt she could eat two bowls of rice today.
Gu Yanxu chose braised beef with potatoes. Don't ask why, it's because Bai Tang wanted to eat it.
The food in someone else's bowl always tastes better than your own.
Lin Fan and Lin Feng took the remaining three portions and ate them.
Gu Yanxu called to Bai Tang, "Tangtang, come and eat some meat."
Bai Tang was eating the shredded pork with garlic sauce in her bowl and couldn't open her mouth, so she quickly said, "Okay, wait for me to swallow the food in my mouth first."
The two of them quickly finished their meal, and Lin Fan and Lin Feng also finished eating very soon.
They continued cutting down trees, and soon the small patch remaining on the mountaintop was completely cleared.
Bai Tang was harvesting the trees when she suddenly noticed something moving in the withered grass beside her.
She didn't dare to move around, fearing it might be some kind of mutated animal, so Bai Tang hurriedly called Gu Yanxu and the others over.
"Come quick! There seems to be something moving here, but I don't know what it is."
Upon hearing the noise, Gu Yanxu and the others hurriedly ran towards Bai Tang.
