Chapter 1278 Surviving in the last days of natural disasters (5)

The rain that had lasted for half a month finally stopped, and the sky revealed a long-lost light.

The water level in the yard, which is up to the knees, has dropped slightly, but looking out, it is still white like an ocean.

Xu Dong and Xu Xi were lying on the railing on the second floor, looking towards the entrance of the town, muttering to themselves:

 “Why hasn’t Mother Dean come back yet?”

“Why don’t Guangguang, Huihui, Nannan, and Beibei come back? Doesn’t everyone want us?”

Ning Jin held Xu Yin's hand with her left hand and went upstairs with a radio in her right hand: "Don't wait, our place has become a disaster area. The residents of nearby dilapidated houses have all moved out a few days ago and will not be coming back soon."

Xu Dong was dumbfounded: "Ah? What should we do? Are we left behind?"

Ning Jin sighed like a young adult: "We have been left behind a long time ago."

Xu Xi instantly pursed his lips: "Oh, no, no! I'm scared!"

“Don’t cry, don’t cry.” Xu Dong quickly wiped Xu Xi’s tears, “We are still here. Brother Ning and I will protect you and Yinyin.”

Xu Yin ran up to Xu Xi and gave her two white rabbit toffees.

 The little girl smiled instantly: "Toffee!"

 Xu Dong licked his lips enviously, he also wanted to eat toffee.

 The next second, Xu Yin stuffed two more pills into his hand.

 “Hey, I have one too!”

Ning Jin was a little tired: "We have to find a way to get out the food that the dean's mother has locked up. We can't just rely on the rewards that Yinyin brings out."

"That's right! We have no rice for cooking." Xu Dong held a White Rabbit toffee in his mouth and ran downstairs on his short legs. "It's not raining anymore. I'm going to scoop out the water from the cellar."

“There’s no food in the cellar.” Xu Xi followed him downstairs, holding on to the wall.

“Idiot! There is a ladder in the cellar! If you move the ladder to the dean’s mother’s room, you can reach the pantry!”

 “You’re an idiot! Just want to reach the pantry table! Brother Ning’s headache is that the cabinet door lock cannot be opened.”

The sturdy "Little Cannonball" paused: "Yes! Move the table over, and you can reach the cabinet door by climbing on the table. I'm so stupid! Hahaha!"

　　　…”

Ning Jin didn't look at them. She took Xu Yin and said, "Yin Yin, let's go downstairs too. The railings need to be repaired. Don't follow their example and lie down on it. It's not safe."

Xu Yin just smiled and said nothing, stuffing a large handful of White Rabbit toffees of different flavors into his pocket, her bias was so obvious.

 Four children came to the dean’s mother’s room.

Perhaps because I was walking in a hurry, the door was unlocked without a key and opened as soon as I turned it. However, the food cabinets and double-door wardrobes on the upper and lower floors of the house were all locked.

Seeing that Ning Jin was planning to violently break the lock of the food cabinet, Xu Dong was a little worried: "Will the dean's mother be angry with us when she comes back?"

 “No, we are trying to save ourselves.”

After Ning Jin finished speaking, he climbed up on the table and studied the padlock.

 It looks like an ordinary copper padlock, but it is a bit difficult to pry it open.

Xu Dong and Xu Xi held the table and thought of many ways:

 “Brother Ning, use lead wire.”

 “Brother Ning, use a hammer!”

　　　…”

 Xu Yin took out a thin hairpin to hold her hair and climbed onto the table: "I'll do it!"

Ning Jin was afraid that she would fall, so he put down the small hammer in his hand and carefully protected her.

Xu Yin stood firmly on the table, reached the lock, inserted the straightened hairpin into the keyhole, and turned it, and the lock opened.

 “Wow! Yinyin, you are so awesome!”

“Yinyin, lend me your hairpin!”

Xu Yin handed the used hairpin to Xu Dong with a smile.

  Anyway, she didn't really rely on this thing to open it, she relied on permanent divine power.

 Fortunately, she restrained her strength so that the copper lock would not fall apart unsightly. Ning Jin was the tallest. After breaking the lock and opening the cabinet door, he was responsible for taking things out.

There are a lot of miscellaneous foods such as eggs, noodles, cereals, flour, millet, brown sugar, seaweed, dried shrimps, bagged pickles and dried radish, as well as individually packaged bread and soda crackers that are usually used as rewards for sensible children.

 There are three small jars placed side by side in the lower pantry, one jar of salted duck eggs, one jar of mustard heads, and one jar of sour bean pickles. They are all side dishes that go with rice and porridge.

　　In the original article, the four children relied on these foods to survive for another month.

 Xu Dong and Xu Xi clapped their hands happily when they saw the food.

Ning Jin frowned when she saw that there was no rice in the cabinet and only two handfuls of noodles.

Xu Xi remembered: "Before the heavy rain, the dean's mother was going to the supermarket to buy rice."

 “We can eat noodles if we don’t have rice!” Xu Dong said optimistically.

Ning Jin looked at him: "I don't know how to knead dough, can you?"

“…Well, I can’t make long noodles, but I can make pimples.”

"It must be dough!" Xu Xi laughed at him, "I can do this too."

Not to be outdone, Xu Dong said: “The batter I made was so delicious that the dean and his mother praised it.”

 “The batter I made was so good that my mother praised it for being beautiful.”

 “What do you want the batter to look like?”

 “If it’s not pretty, it won’t taste good! Humph!”

"childish!"

 “You’re naive!”

The five-year-old and the five-and-a-half-year-old got into a fight over whose batter was better.

Xu Yin pulled Ning Jin aside and pointed to the side.

Ning Jin looked in the direction of her finger. A multifunctional construction robot suddenly appeared on the originally empty ground.

Even Ning Jin, who was calm when faced with the situation, couldn't help but let out a low voice.

The two quarreling childish ghosts suddenly stopped arguing and ran over to look around the robot:

 “Yinyin, what is this?”

 “Is it Transformers?”

 Once they are born, twice they are familiar, three times they are familiar, and four times they are friends.

Xu Yin brought out an old friend: "Grandpa with the white beard said it was a robot that helped us dig holes in the ground."

Ning Jin grasped the words: "Why dig a hole?"

 Xu Yin blinked: "I don't know."

Xu Dong and Xu Xi didn’t understand either, but they were curious about the robot: “Then let it dig. The gods are so kind to us and they won’t harm us.”

Ning Jin, the only sane person online: “…”

Xu Dong has excitedly commanded the robot: "Let's go, let's go! Hey, Yin Yin, why doesn't it move?"

Xu Yin set the automatic start time.

As soon as Xu Dong finished speaking, the robot walked to the set location and quickly dug a hole with its robotic arm.

 A few days ago, she sent out a survey robot to survey the terrain at midnight. The ground under the orphanage was relatively solid and suitable for building a bunker.

She thought about it and decided that instead of taking her three five- and six-year-old friends to the air-raid shelter to avoid disaster, she might as well dig a bunker and settle down.

 First of all, the air-raid shelters will definitely be overcrowded. Even if there are controls, there will be many people as vicious as gangsters. Secondly, how can you be as comfortable as a guest as you are as a host?

Therefore, she spent several nights, started the scene simulation and designed several bunker architectural drawings. Finally, she selected the most satisfactory one and entered the instructions to order the construction robot to build according to the drawings.

According to the robot's work progress, if the work is started day and night, half a month will be enough to complete the work.

After half a month, the water receded completely and there would be a few sunny days. They took the time to cover up the orphanage and treat it as an uninhabited abandoned building, and then moved to a bunker before the extreme cold weather arrived.
