Chapter 10 Taking 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's almost dusk outside, and the setting sun is 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 greatly increase. Why do you have to follow us?"
Tang Jing smiled and said: "There are only two or three kilometers to go, hurry up, you can be back within an hour, and do you know where the storage room for storing drinks is?"
"After listening to your description, I probably know."
"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 can't be 100% sure."
"Then why did you just..."
"Because we have to continue to fetch water in the future. If Kong is happy, it will have a huge impact on morale."
"Um."
Chen Mu nodded, agreeing with Tang Jing's approach, and started on his way again, asking again: "Where is that place?"
"It's in another storage room halfway up the road, so even if it's not there, 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 confused.
"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 that serves food may also have different owners."
"Is it necessary to make it so complicated?" Chen Mu really didn't know much 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.
The sky is getting darker and 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 looking from a distance. The sky is getting darker and the light is getting darker.
It gets worse and worse, and I always feel that 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 called Wei Dalei to stop.
"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 where grain was stored. There were several bags of rice piled on the ground, and there were small bags of flour on the shelves beside the wall.
"Food?" Chen Mu's voice revealed surprise unconsciously.
"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 must 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 moment. After Tang Jing reminded him, he immediately understood and nodded: "Then let's go back as many people as possible."
"Maybe we 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 per 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 dejectedly: "Gan, this thing is too heavy. It's impossible to even put it down, let alone move it."
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 Wan'er: "If we could move this bottle of water back, not counting loss and evaporation, it would be enough for us people to drink for decades."
Chen Mu was stunned: "Did it take so long?"
Tang Jing said: "If a person originally needs to drink 3000ml of water every day, with his current body weight, he only needs 0.003ml, which is 0.03ml based on ten people. This bottle of water is 380ml, which can be drunk for more than 12,600 days, which is about 35
Year."
Although Chen Mu was not bad at mathematics, he was far from this level of mental arithmetic. He vaguely felt that this algorithm was counterintuitive, but he 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, one bottle of mineral water can last us 35 years?"
"Of course it can't be calculated that way."
Tang Jing said with a smile: "Actually, there must be losses, and people not only need to drink water, wash, shower, and wash clothes, these are the bulk of the water used. The most important thing is that after the bottled water is opened, it will be consumed within a few days.
It will deteriorate, so the question of how long a bottle of water can last is actually meaningless. If we want to survive for a long time, we must have a stable water supply system."
"Build your own water plant?" Chen Mu said with a smile.
"Maybe." Tang Jing blinked.
"How is that possible?" Chen Mu laughed.
Tang Jing smiled and didn't answer, and changed the subject: "Let's get water quickly, they probably can't wait any longer."
Chen Mu changed his hands and turned the machete into a spear. He then gently stroked his head with his hand for a moment to make the spear tip sharper. Then he stepped back a few steps and used a 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 in the past, Chen Mu could not compare to Wei Dalei in terms of brute strength. What's more, now that he has awakened his ability, Old Wei has become even more powerful. He took the spear, exerted force with one arm, made a sideways and backward movement, and stabbed with a "hoo" sound.
Take out the spear.
This spear not only pierced the bottle, but also drove half of the spear body in.
Wei Dalei held the spear and stirred it in circles to make the hole in the bottle larger.
Then pull back.
