Chapter 74: The technological world without power (1)
"Mom, think about it, don't you need electrical appliances to produce gas? Now there is no electricity, how can you produce it? There is still some previous inventory. After a period of time, it will be gone." Hao Xin explained.
"Xingxing is right. Otherwise, let's go to the countryside. While there is still gasoline, everyone is still waiting and watching." Dad Lan is a leader in the company. Even if he is just a department manager, he has more knowledge than the housewife's mother.
"Okay." Although Lan's mother didn't understand very much, she was not a fool. She could tell her that Hao Xin explained. "Then I'll clean up today and we'll set off tomorrow."
"Xingxing, what do you think we are going to bring?" When Lan's mother packed up her things, she was not sure what to bring, so she wanted to bring everything with her.
"Mom, I don't need to bring those electrical appliances anymore, I won't need them for the time being." Hao Xin was also sorting them out, but after listening to them, he was speechless. Even if they might come back if they have electricity in the future, they wouldn't have to bring those useless things with them now.
"Ah, don't you bring it, that's a pity." Lan Mom was suddenly a little discouraged when she thought about these electrical appliances now being scrapped.
"It's okay, mom, I'll keep this at home, nothing will happen then." Hao Xin was still very relieved. No one was stealing these things now.
"Okay, hey, when will this day end?" Lan Ma cried with a sad face. It seemed that such a doomsday was more difficult to accept than Hao Xin.
Hao Xin didn't say anything, and planned to go to the places where the meteors fell after they arranged the original owner's parents. She believed that the sudden power outage must have something to do with those meteors, but she didn't know what it was, and she could absorb all the electricity.
Finally, they packed up some essential items, such as clothes and bedding, and in addition, they also brought some small hoes that Lan Ma used to organize the flower pots on the balcony. Some expensive things, mobile banking cards, etc., were not used, and they were all in the baggage.
Lan Dad used cash to buy some farm tools, matches, lighters, tents, various things for outdoor use, pots, and a movable stove. Fortunately, there is still more than half a year before the complete chaos, and you can buy some things for money, of course, things other than food.
In the past six months, the prices of grain and candles have the highest prices, and gas is even sky-high. In the past, it was more than 100 yuan per bottle, but now it may not be able to buy more than 1,000 yuan. If Hao Xin doesn't mention it, Lan Dad will also say that after all, they can't even use gas now.
The next day, they locked the door and closed the windows and other things, and then went down to 7 floors. When they moved things yesterday, the three of them were almost exhausted. This is the inconvenience of no electricity. Fortunately, they don’t have many things like them.
Their car is a relatively large business car. The one behind it took off the other's things and left two rows of seats. Lan's father and mother sat in front, Hao Xin sat in the back, then started the car and left the capital city that once attracted much attention.
"Where are we going?" As we drove, we asked our wife and daughter.
"Dad, let's go here." Hao Xin opened the map and pointed to a place.
"Is this place too far? Is it enough gasoline?" Lan's mother looked at it and found that it was in the central region.
"Maybe not enough, I can't afford gasoline now." Lan Dad looked at it and shook his head.
"It's okay, I got some gasoline." The reason why Hao Xin chose is because it is the place where the meteor shower lands. Because people think that this disaster was caused by the meteor shower, there is basically no one going there except for some experts who want to study the causes of this phenomenon. Compared to other places, you should be able to find a place to live.
In addition, Hao Xin also wanted to find the meteor that caused this situation. Hao Xin talked about the situation with them, but naturally did not say her plan. After hearing her, Lan Mom opposed it, "Then we'd better not go, who knows what danger is."
"I think it's good," Lan Dad agreed very much. "At present, the meteor absorbs electricity, but there are no other ones, so we don't have to worry."
"Yes, that's what I think, and other places must be overcrowded." Hao Xin quickly agreed.
"Okay, what do you father and daughter say is what you say, I don't understand this either." One-on-two, Lan Mom lost and surrendered directly.
So she set her goal and went to the central area. Hao Xin had already taken out the gasoline she collected in other worlds and put it behind her. She had thought of this before. She secretly brought it in while moving things. When she waited until there was no oil on the road, Lan Dad said:
"It seems that you have already planned."
"That's right, after all, I have read a lot of novels about the end of the world. What's the most important thing in the end of the world is of course food and gasoline." Hao Xin looked proud.
"It seems that it's useless for you to read novels every day." Lan Ma also said deliberately.
"(*^__^*)hehe..." Hao Xin smiled and did not specifically take on the topic.
Because it is still early now, they are also very smooth along the way. Hao Xin chose a place that is a little remote, which is considered a deep mountain forest. Although the expressway has been opened, it is a place where few people go back except for locals and some tourists. However, the land is vast and sparsely populated. When the electricity is still there, almost most of the fields here are abandoned.
Later, when the electricity was out of power, everyone ran to the countryside, but there were still not many people here, because this was the first area where the power was outage. Although Hao Xin and the others came late, it was still okay to find a house in the village to rent it. However, what they collected was not paper money, but hard currency gold and silver.
Hao Xin didn't have much more, so she took it out and paid the rent. Lan's father and mother thought she had done it before, and the original owner had a lot of private money, and she saved all the pocket money, and she earned it online. They didn't collect it, so they didn't find it strange.
In this way, they temporarily settled in this place called Maoyang County. Now April is the season for sowing. They rented a few pieces of land with the county magistrate and prepared to start planting some food.
"I didn't expect that I would have to start farming from scratch when I grew up so old." Because I can't farm, Lan's father had to invite someone, and then he watched the study from the side.
