Ling Xue had been keeping a close eye on Zhang Enhui and Zhou Kai these past few days, fearing they might leave her behind while searching for Hua Quan. However, Zhang Enhui and the others continued to search for supplies every day, and although they were bringing back fewer and fewer things, they continued to collect them.
There was no movement from Zhang Enhui, and Ling Xue could only worry.
There were looting and smashing incidents every night in the city. Every time Aunt Zhang saw this kind of news, she was glad more than once that they had moved out early.
Residents living in various communities cannot move away whenever they want. At the very least, they have to dig out a cave dwelling that they can live in on the land allocated to them.
Now no one cares whether the cave is decorated or not. Everyone is lucky enough if they can dig a good cave.
Some families with fewer people were able to seize the opportunity and contact machines to help dig caves, but those with slower nerves could not do so and could only rely on their relatives and friends to dig with shovels.
This is purely physical work. I work hard every day but don’t get much results.
The lazy family dug a cave that could accommodate people and moved in. At least it was a lot quieter and looters wouldn't visit such places from time to time.
The environment became increasingly harsh, resources became increasingly scarce, and Ling Xue gradually became irritated.
She walked back and forth in the yard until she turned to a downhill road and stopped. This road was no longer suitable, so she decided to dig it up and build a slope down from the opposite side so that her tricycle could also drive down.
She walked towards the side facing his house, checking the crack in front of her that was less than one meter wide. Just as she was thinking about whether she could dig a road here, Zhang Enhui and Zhou Kai came over.
"What are you fiddling with, girl? Look at your frown!"
Ling Xue turned around and saw the two people behind her. She smiled and said to them, "I'm thinking of opening a road here so that our car can drive in. Wouldn't it be much more convenient to get in and out this way? The more I look at this small road, the less I like it."
Zhou Kai looked at Ling Xue and wanted to laugh but suppressed it. "Well, it's like this. Enhui and I just happened to be planning this. Don't worry, we'll open a new road here after we're done with this."
Zhang Enhui also thought Ling Xue was reluctant to leave her tricycle there, fearing it might be stolen if she wasn't paying attention. Who, she thought, would have nothing better to do than go out into the wilderness and buy a worthless tricycle? Aren't all those valuable things and fresh water a hundred times better than this second-hand tricycle?
Ling Xue felt much better after hearing their plan. This kind of life was already much better than she had imagined. What else was there to be dissatisfied with?
After adjusting her mindset, Ling Xue continued to talk with Zhang Enhui and Zhou Kai about how to build the road.
How to repair the road? In this situation, of course, you have to rely on your own physical strength. Of course, if you can find a machine, it would be better. If you can't find it, you can only rely on pure physical strength.
There is a shortage of people everywhere now, but there is a shortage of skilled workers for machines. Unless it is their own family affairs, basically no one will go to other people's homes to help. No matter how good the relationship is, there is no way to finish the housework.
Of course, it would be much easier if several companies worked together, but people are selfish. They are afraid that after building someone else's house, they will have no energy or time to build their own house. So many families rely on the few people in their family to dig little by little, like ants moving house.
The Internet has always been operating normally, so Ling Xue and Aunt Zhang have never been out of touch with the outside world.
