Chapter 48: base housing
Wen Luming took his son back to Wang's house. She was the only one at home. The base director and Wang Wence were busy with work, so they usually didn't go home for lunch, and only came back after get off work in the evening. Mrs. Wang has to be in charge of the logistics of the base, and her affairs are complicated, and she will not come back at noon.
Therefore, Wen Luming usually eats lunch at home. If Wang Wenyu does not leave the base for assignments, he will come back to eat with her and her son.
Sister-in-law Lin had already made lunch, and when she saw Wen Luming coming back, she smiled and said to her, "Xiao Wen is back? I made crucian carp soup today, and I drank it well."
Wen Luming's pretty face blushed slightly. Ever since they knew that she was only breastfeeding her son, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Lin tried to make something for her to eat. For fear that she would not have enough milk, she would starve the whole family's baby.
"By the way, the second young master called back and said that he won't be back for dinner at noon. He has something to discuss." Sister Lin suddenly remembered Wang Wenyu's words, and hurriedly told Wen Luming, and looked at Wen Luming teasingly: "I I have never seen the second young master so considerate before, and he would call back to tell him if he didn't come back for dinner, he was not like this before, he was probably married and sensible..."
Because the base already has a small power station, and the thunder and lightning abilities can generate electricity for the base to use, so small electrical appliances such as electric lights can be used. Since the signal station has also been repaired, the telephone can also be used. However, electrical appliances that consume a lot of electricity such as refrigerators and air conditioners are prohibited from being used.
Sister-in-law Lin was still chattering, she had been working in the Wang family, and the two brothers Wang Wenyu were raised by her, so the Wang family did not treat her as an outsider.
Wen Luming couldn't bear what she said, so he interrupted her quickly: "Then if he doesn't come back, let's have dinner."
After lunch, he fed Wen Tiandao with milk again and coaxed him to take a nap. Wen Luming gently sang a lullaby to him:
"Sleep! Sleep! My dear darling,
Mom's hands gently shake you,
The cradle shakes you to sleep quickly.
Quiet at night, warmed by Li Duo
Sleep, sleep, my dear baby,
Mother's arm will always protect you,
Everything in the world, go to sleep quickly,
All the warmth belongs to you.
…”
Wen Luming closed his eyes and gently rocked his little cradle, humming a lullaby, and almost fell asleep singing.
She opened her eyes quickly, only to find that the little guy had **** watery eyes, twitching, and he had no intention of falling asleep at all.
Seeing Wen Luming looking at him, he grinned with a small toothless mouth, transparent drool flowing down, and his chubby little face was round and so cute that one wanted to pinch.
Wen Luming managed to control his hand not to squeeze it. Seeing the energetic appearance of the little villain, he had to pick him up, walk to the balcony, let him see the scenery, and teach him to recognize things by the way, even if he is too young It doesn't matter if you can't remember it, talk more and you can remember it later.
The sun at noon seemed to be burning. Almost no one went out at this time, because it was easy to get sunburned or dehydrated. Now water is also a scarce resource. Besides, because it rarely rains and the crops grown in the fields need watering, water is precious.
Wen Luming took his son to look at the scenery, and what he saw was the buildings in the base. In addition to the villas they live in now, there are also ordinary apartment buildings. There are not many buildings built before the apocalypse, so most people now live in the buildings built after the apocalypse.
In the post-apocalyptic era, all resources are lacking, so the buildings built are also very crude. Each house only has a kitchen, bedroom, dining room, and bathroom. As for balconies, they are not built to save space.
These houses were later built, and some of them were built with adobe bricks made of mud from the base, and the ones in ochre yellow, because they were newly built, they looked pretty good.
The other part is built with bricks removed from buildings outside the base. Because those bricks are of different colors, old and new, the walls of the built houses are mottled and not good-looking, but they are stronger than those built with mud bricks, so the buildings It was built relatively high, with twenty stories, just to accommodate as many people as possible.
Farther away from these buildings, there are shanty towns, which belong to the slums in the base. Those who have lost their labor force, or those who are unwilling to work, and the poor who have a large family by themselves, will live in these canvas, A humble house made of wood.
Oh, there are also some women who sell themselves, so it is also a red light district.
Usually, it is the most noisy here, those skinny children running around in ragged clothes, the hunchbacked, scrawny old people, the thin women leaning on the door to solicit customers, and the prostitutes who have the leisure to vent.
This place is lively but dirty. However, the base cannot fully take care of these vulnerable groups. It would be good to provide these old and young women and children with food and drink so that they will not starve to death.
The base needs to consider the life and death of most people. It cannot take care of them one by one. It can only squeeze out a part of the food and distribute it to them. This is the limit of what the base can do.
However, compared with other bases, this is already the difference between heaven and hell. Other bases basically ignore these incapacitated people and let them die of starvation and thirst. When they die, they are dragged away and burned.
And at least they can survive here Therefore, more and more survivors are attracted, and the base has grown stronger. This is a good thing. The more people there are, the better the survival. Now the population is the productive force.
Wen Luming thought of his water system ability, and also thought of the people who were silent outside, taking refuge in the heat of the house. She feels that she can hold two jobs at the same time, so that more survivors can drink water, and she can earn more crystal cores for cultivation, and she can often use her powers to speed up her cultivation. .
So she decided to go to the purple potato field in the morning to give birth to purple potatoes, and in the afternoon to go to the water power user studio to "release water". It's more than enough to do these two things with her ability.
After blowing enough wind on the balcony, Wen Tiandao finally fell asleep, and Wen Luming carried him back to the cradle.
After setting up his son, Wen Luming sat cross-legged on the bed, just about to enter the state of cultivation, and suddenly wanted to see the lives of the survivors outside.
She released her mental power and directly enveloped the entire base under her mental power, using her divine sense to "see".
The villas are populated by the most powerful people in the base, so their homes are no different from those before the end of the world. They have everything, clean, comfortable, safe and spacious.
In the apartment building, every inch of space is used. There are only simple furniture, but the space is narrow. Most of these are the homes of supernatural beings. At this time, their families are resting at home, because they cannot work for two hours at noon. .
In the shanty towns, the most emaciated people lie down, with only dirty beds and simple cooking tools. The people living here are the old, the young, the sick and the disabled, and of course, there are also pure manual laborers who have no ability. They are not able to rent buildings, so they crowd here.
