Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Borrowing Grain from a Neighbor

Back then, he also got ten bags of flour. In the past six months, he has been mixing rice, flour, and miscellaneous grains to eat, and more than half of it has already been consumed.

Skillfully slicing the meat strips, he also cut up four green peppers, and couldn't help but worry about another serious problem.

"The most pressing concern now is the basic infrastructure like water, electricity, and gas."

"Currently, the tap water has already been contaminated, the power system collapsed in the second week of the torrential rain, and if it weren't for the generator and my second-hand outdoor battery, charging the computer and phone would be a hassle."

Fortunately, before the internet went down, he had downloaded a large number of survival documents and various useful knowledge from the internet.

All stored on the computer and external hard drives, deleting quite a few teacher's works in the process.

Whenever he had time, he would look through these files, thinking that he would greatly benefit if he ever needed to use them.

At the very least, he should learn more while he can still generate electricity.

"Another deadly issue is the gas. The external gas has long been cut off. Luckily, when I renovated the place, I got two large gas tanks."

Yes, he still used gas tanks at home, which were rarely seen in urban households now.

When Liang Yuan was renovating, he hadn't connected the water and electricity, and didn't want to waste money renting a place, so he moved in early.

Needing to cook for himself back then, he bought two gas tanks, each weighing 15 kilograms.

Soon after he bought them, the natural gas was connected at home, and he regretted it, feeling he had wasted money on the gas tanks.

Unexpectedly, less than two months after the flood, the natural gas stopped.

As the water level continued to rise and government relief was delayed, these two gas tanks became extremely useful.

For the past three months, he had been relying on these two gas tanks to cook and boil water.

Honestly, he was lucky to have a pressure cooker at home; otherwise, the gas in the tanks would have run out long ago.

If he didn't have gas, cooking would be difficult.

The people taking refuge in the hallway were collecting floating wood and plastic for firewood.

Besides, water sources were the deadliest issue.

Although there was water everywhere outside, it was all seawater with a salty taste.

Countless corpses floated in the water, along with mutant creatures, and no one knew if drinking it would cause problems.
