Returning to the room on the ninth floor, Qiao Xi found a place in the corner and sat down on the spot. The hotel did not provide bedding, so it didn't matter that it was summer and the floors were solid wood.
She took out a piece of clothing from her backpack and folded it into a piece to use as a pillow. She closed her eyes and lay down on it. She was not sleeping. She had just slept for two days and two nights. She was in good spirits. She was preparing to organize the space. It was easy for her to think randomly when she was idle. She had to give it some time. Find something to do on your own.
When a person is outside the space, she can also move things in the space through "thinking". In fantasy terms, it is mental power. This process is a little more tiring than taking things out of the space and putting them back again. Fortunately, it is secretive, and there are gains and losses.
Ding Lanyue on the terrace looked at Qiao Xi who was lying quietly in the corner, and gave a thumbs up to express envy, jealousy and admiration: "She can still sleep in such a big situation in such an environment. This mentality Excellent quality."
I was sleepy and tired, but I really couldn't sleep. On the one hand, it was too hot and there were too many mosquitoes. On the other hand, I was worried about my future and my future was bleak. She was not the only one in this state. Except for Ma Meiying's six-year-old granddaughter Tiantian, no one in the room had slept at all.
A middle-aged man curled his lips and said: "Don't be short-minded."
Liu Yifeng retorted: "I think you are so naive. You are so naive that you can think of asking the front desk for a map to study the route back home. Have you thought about it? You will complain that the embassy did not come to pick you up."
The middle-aged man's face changed and he was about to have a fit, but his wife pulled him away. She said sheepishly: "It's hot and my brain is confused. He means what he says but doesn't mean it. Don't argue with him. The little girl is quite nice. She reminds us that there is a direct line." Domestic roads make people feel more at ease. "
"It does make me feel more at ease. I used to think about what to do if the flights never resume. Now I have confidence that I can return to China after traveling more than a thousand kilometers. Even if the embassy doesn't arrange it, we can bring more compatriots to go with us. There's nothing to be afraid of."
"There are at least hundreds of thousands of people. It's impossible for the embassy to ignore...Qingshui Wenxuewenwen is digging at the valley and Erqi Wuerba..."
Liu Yifeng whispered what happened on the attic to Ding Lanyue and the others.
Ding Lanyue's eyes lit up instantly, and she glanced at Qiao Xi, who seemed to be sleeping in the corner: "King Kong Barbie! No wonder she is so calm."
He Haiyu glanced at Liu Yifeng: "Looking at how excited you are, you were so attentive before. You must have fallen in love with me."
"Don't talk nonsense. We are all compatriots. We should help each other when we go out. I didn't know she was so powerful at the time, so of course I didn't trust her to act alone as a girl." Liu Yifeng was anxious, for fear of being aroused by Qiao Xi. Misunderstand.
Ding Lanyue, who knew that He Haiyu was interested in Liu Yifeng, rolled her eyes: "Sisters, how long has it been since then? There is still a female competition. If we want to compete, we will compete for the position."
He Haiyu got angry and slapped Ding Lanyue: "Don't just learn an Internet word and then use it randomly. It's so ugly."
Qiao Xi listened to the others chatting with one ear or the other. There were not many people, but there were many people on their minds. All living beings were in various states of mind, which was quite interesting. While moving the container slowly, she would stop immediately when she felt a little tired and never overspent her energy. Now that she was among the crowd, she had to keep herself in the best condition.
She was busy taking a break until six o'clock in the morning, and she only cleared a corner. There were too many things and it was too messy. It would be much more convenient if there was an open place for her to put all the containers out, but unfortunately there was not, so she could only use it in a limited space. Move around in space.
The good news is that after this hour of busy work, she has a rough estimate of the number of containers in the space. The total number of large and small containers is definitely more than 10,000, and 80% are 40-foot containers, which are not available on freighters. She chose large cabinets at the port.
A conservative calculation would be that if there are 10,000 40-foot containers, each weighing 20 tons, and food accounts for half, then there are 100,000 tons.
It was really a lot, so much that their family of three couldn't finish it even if they borrowed it from the sky for another five hundred years, but she didn't think it was too much. A tens of billionaires will not dislike having more money because they cannot use up 10 billion, and she will not dislike having a lot of supplies because she cannot use them up.
In peaceful times, adults' sense of security is provided by money. In the last days, adults' sense of security is provided by materials.
"What kind of sweet dream is this?" Ma Meiying saw Qiao Xi smiling at the corners of her brows and eyes, and couldn't help but wonder. She was already very good at sleeping, but she could still have sweet dreams. This mentality is really enviable.
Qiao laughed: "I forgot about it when I woke up. I only knew it was a good dream."
"Dreams are like this, you forget them as soon as you wake up." Ma Meiying extended an invitation, "We are going to have breakfast, do you want to come with us?"
Qiao Xiying is good, she is not short of this stutter, but she can't be too unique. She only brought one hiking bag, and she deliberately chose the one with the largest capacity to hide it from others, but it was not big enough to carry a large sum of money without worrying about food and drink.
Going out together were Ma Meiying's grandson, Liu Yifeng and Ding Lanyue.
Forget about brushing your teeth and washing your face before breakfast. There is no such thing as toothpaste or toothbrushes distributed at all. Even if they are distributed, there is no extra water for people to wash. Drinking water must be limited, not to mention domestic water, which is also the cause of the unpleasant smell. That is to say, it is close to the sea, and each room can receive a bucket of seawater for flushing the toilet every day, otherwise the smell will be even more delicious.
Of course, there are also people who are doing well. People who moved here with large and small bags have a very comfortable life. They dislike the food in the canteen and are too lazy to eat it. They just eat the food they brought.
The breakfast provided by the hotel is actually okay, a large bowl of soy milk and a glutinous rice ball.
"Tiantian, please eat some rice balls." Ma Meiying coaxed her listless granddaughter softly.
The little girl held the empty soy milk bowl sadly: "Grandma, I'm not hungry."
"I haven't eaten all night, how can I not be hungry?" Ma Meiying was worried. Her granddaughter was not feeling well and had a bad appetite, but if she didn't eat, she would lose nutrition and her body would be even weaker.
She regretted it every time she thought about it. How could she be so confused that she promised her old sister to take her granddaughter on a trip? Now that she has given birth, her granddaughter cannot eat well or sleep well. The old sisters and grandson are also separated. I don't know what the situation is like over there.
Ma Meiying chose glutinous rice with vegetables inside and fed it to her granddaughter. The little girl frowned and turned away. Ma Meiying had no choice but to put away the rice balls and give them to her later when she was hungry. She then pushed her bowl of soy milk over and said, "Drink that handful of soy milk."
The little girl said obediently: "Grandma, drink, grandma is thirsty."
Ma Meiying smiled and took a sip from the edge of the bowl: "Okay, grandma is done drinking. Grandma is not thirsty anymore."
The six-year-old girl believed it and started drinking from the bowl of soy milk.
Ma Meiying swallowed with a dry throat. It was hot and she was sweating non-stop, which made her very thirsty. She had already finished the two bottles of mineral water she received at dinner last night.
Unintentionally meeting Qiao Xi's gaze, she quickly moved away to avoid embarrassment to the other person. Several young people have taken good care of their grandparents and grandchildren, and it is not easy to rely on their old age to show off their talents, especially at this juncture, when they have many grandparents and grandchildren and have to rely on them.
Qiao Xi pushed the soy milk over: "I haven't touched the soy milk. Auntie, you can drink it. I don't like it." She really doesn't like drinking pure soy milk and can't stand the beany smell. They always add some to the soy milk at home. Red dates, peanuts and sesame neutralize the fishy smell of beans.
Ma Meiying said hurriedly: "If you don't like drinking, drink some. The water won't be released until noon."
Qiao Xi: "I still have some water."
Speaking of this, Ma Meiying said sheepishly: "Then I'm welcome, Xiao Qiao, thank you."
The little girl on the side followed and said, "Thank you, sister."
Qiao Xi smiled. She was a well-educated child. Judging from her clothes, she must have a good family background. She should have been pampered and grown up like a princess. After thinking about it, she asked: "Is the child suffering from heatstroke? "
Ma Meiying's face turned bitter: "No, I wanted to take her to the hospital, but the staff here said that the hospital is full of people now, and they will not treat mild heat stroke at all. They only took her to the hotel's infirmary and prescribed some heat stroke medicine."
Liu Yifeng added: "There are more and more people suffering from heat stroke, and the infirmary cannot be crowded. Many people with severe heat stroke can only lie in the corridor for infusion."
Ding Lanyue complained: "There is no air conditioning on such a hot day, and there is only so much water. How can we not suffer from heat stroke? We will probably suffer from heat stroke sooner or later. Heat stroke is normal, but I am afraid of heat stroke, which is really fatal." "
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the team not far away. It was an old man who fainted from heat stroke. The experienced people around him immediately dispersed to make room. His family members hurriedly took off the old man's clothes to cool him down, and tried to give him water and pressure, but to no avail. With the help of the restaurant staff, he quickly picked up the old man and ran to the infirmary.
Ma Meiying's face turned pale, and she panicked and took out the Huoxiang Zhengqi water distributed by the infirmary. She didn't care that her granddaughter only drank soy milk and did not eat staple food: "Be good, drink the medicine, and you won't feel uncomfortable after drinking it."
The little girl frowned and drank it obediently, but the effect didn't seem to be very good. She was languid and limp. Ma Meiying, who was holding her granddaughter, was confused and decided to go to the infirmary again.
Liu Yifeng and Ding Lanyue accompanied their grandfather and grandson there. When they came back, they said that the doctor thought that Tiantian's symptoms were relatively mild and that the clinic was too busy, so they only prescribed two more days of heat-relieving medicine and asked him to come back and rest.
Ding Lanyue looked at the listless Tiantian with distress: "Who doesn't know how to rest? But how can anyone rest in this steamer-like place? There is no air conditioning. At least give me an electric fan and two pieces of ice."
As the sun came out, the temperature in the room rose significantly. Qiao Xi felt that the indoor temperature was at least 40 degrees. Children with poor body temperature regulation ability were likely to get into trouble in such a high temperature environment.
She took out a halter-neck fan, a bottle of cooling spray, a bottle of herbal ointment and a bottle of salt soda from her backpack and handed them to Ma Meiying. Compared with mineral water, the trace elements in salt soda water can alleviate the symptoms of heat stroke to a certain extent. In addition to repelling mosquitoes and relieving itching, the herbal ointment also has a certain cooling and relieving effect.
She has observed that many people hold these summer-relieving artifacts in their hands, and they don't think much of them when they take them out.
This is really a life-saving thing. Ma Meiying stopped being polite and thanked her repeatedly.
The little girl also thanked her: "Thank you, sister."
Qiao Xi touched the soft top of her head and took out a large-capacity solar power bank.
Portable small fans rarely have batteries and most require USB charging. She also saw several people watching videos on their mobile phones. There is still electricity today, I hope someone has a way to charge it. Things like solar power bank are more or less carried by thousands of people in the hotel.
Some people flee for their lives in a hurry and take nothing with them, while others are well equipped. No matter when, there are always some people who can live a good life.
Ding Lanyue was stunned. She had the cooling spray, but she had used it up long ago, but she didn't have the solar power bank: "You are so well prepared."
"Common supplies when I go out. I rely on them to survive at sea." Qiao Xi opened the curtains and opened the glass door and went to the balcony. It was not yet eight o'clock, but the sun was already a little bit poisonous. He found the best spot to get the sun. Roll out the foldable solar power panel that comes with the power bank, plug in the extended charging cable and quickly enter the house.
After finishing everything, she took out a blue hand-held fan from her backpack and blew it on her face, which made her instantly feel better. Just because she can tolerate heat better than ordinary people does not mean that she is not afraid of heat, she can make herself more comfortable, and she never wrongs herself.
I blow the fan and drink soda, and watch a little girl suffering from heatstroke helplessly. Her heart is not that hard yet, and it is not to the point where it needs to be hard now.
Her heart isn't that soft either.
Such a magical Bodhi Space, in the hands of individuals, would be overkill. Only by handing it over to the state can it maximize its value and benefit more people.
But she didn't want to and didn't dare.
The greatest value of Bodhi Space does not lie in the materials inside. For a family, those materials are too many for several generations to use up. However, it is just a drop in the bucket in front of the country. The country consumes 700,000 tons of grain, 98,000 tons of oil, 1.92 million tons of vegetables, 230,000 tons of meat, and 1.05 million tons of water a day. Even if the space is filled without leaving a single gap, it will not be enough. One meal per person.
The real value of Bodhi Space lies in its ability to efficiently, conveniently and safely transport various production and living materials in harsh environments.
The more she transports, the more people will know about her abilities.
So, among these people, is it possible that some of them are greedy and want to take her as their own, or even want to take the Bodhi Space as their own?
When the situation deteriorates to a certain level and survival becomes extremely difficult, a paradise is in front of you. Even if Blue Star is destroyed, can you hide there and have enough food and clothing without any worries?
If you kill her, will the Bodhi bracelet fall off and you can reintegrate with others?
By dissecting her head, is it possible to dig out the bodhi bracelet deep in her mind?
By drinking her blood and eating her flesh, is it possible to improve her physique like hers and gain some more leverage to survive in the apocalypse?
Qiao Xi felt that some people must think so, and some people would take action. When in danger, she can hide in space, but she still has her parents, who are the best hostages.
Once she decided to stand up, it would be equivalent to risking the safety of her family on the good and evil of people's hearts in the apocalypse. She was unwilling and did not dare to take this risk.
