Chapter 233 Fishing
The living room was quiet; clearly, Yu Jing and the others hadn't come over.
So Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan simply took Pea and Big Yellow to the other side.
Compared to the quietness of Zhou Yang's house, this place was much more lively, with everyone gathered here.
Some were chatting, some were cooking, and the two kids were playing with building blocks on the living room carpet.
Hearing the door open, everyone who was idling in the living room looked over, and when they saw it was two people, they all smiled teasingly.
Xu Zhiyi chuckled, "Oh, finally decided to get up? You guys slept for quite a while. I was thinking if you hadn't gotten up, I was going to knock on the door!"
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Jing, who came out of the kitchen, tapped him on the head: "Don't act like a brother all the time! Aren't you tired after being away for so many days? Yan Fei and Xingye have only been here for half an hour. What's wrong with them sleeping a little longer?"
Yan Fei and Lu Xingye, who were suddenly mentioned, wished that a hole would appear in the ground right now so they could crawl into it.
Lu Xingye blushed and pinched Yan Fei's waist hard before supporting her still slightly uncomfortable waist and hiding behind Yan Fei.
Yan Fei didn't dare to utter a sound even when he was in pain. He could only silently act as a human shield for Lu Xingye, touching his nose and looking at the sky and the ground without daring to speak.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan understood everything; they had clearly also gotten excited after experiencing the taste of meat.
Everyone present understood the situation, and no one pointed it out.
It was almost time for dinner, so everyone called out to come up and sit down for a meal.
However, when it came time to plate the dishes, everything placed in front of Zhou Yang and Lu Xingye was light and easy to digest.
Zhou Yang and Lu Xingye immediately realized they couldn't keep up their smiles any longer, and they both gave the instigator a good wringer.
By the time we finished our meal, it was already deep into the night outside.
Zhou Yang and the others weren't in a hurry to go back. They had just woken up and wouldn't be able to sleep if they went back now, so they gathered in the living room to chat and also to find out about the current situation at the base.
After the rescue team left, the temperature dropped significantly, and following the Qianlong Squad, many other superpowered squads moved out.
Most of the troops moved back to their military dormitories, leaving only a small number downstairs to maintain order, since many survivors remained in the underground shelters.
Of course, the underground shelters will not be closed for the time being, and Zhou Yang expects them to remain closed until the later stages of the extreme cold and before the snow melts.
Before this, underground shelters should all be habitable.
The reason Zhou Yang and the others moved out so quickly was twofold: firstly, the underground was too stuffy, and secondly, they wanted everyone to gradually adapt to the extreme cold.
As long as you keep your house warm and use heaters, you can easily get through extreme cold at home.
If you continue to live in a basement, although the temperature is higher, it will be difficult to move out of the underground shelter in the future. First, you may not be able to adapt to the sudden temperature difference and may get sick. Second, a house that has been uninhabited will be colder. Rebuilding a house in extreme cold is more difficult than in extreme heat.
You should know that it's colder when the snow melts than when it snows; at that time, even the underground parking lot will be uninhabitable.
Therefore, the Hidden Dragon Squad chose to move out directly.
Those superpowered teams and the military, who had the resources, likely made similar judgments based on their experience with the previous extreme cold.
With the next extreme cold snap fast approaching, those who still choose to stay in underground shelters either lack a broad perspective and only see immediate, tangible benefits.
They are either ordinary survivors who can only afford to live in the large tents in the square. Even if these people go out, they will only freeze to death. It is better for them to stay in the underground shelter and live one day at a time.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but sigh. Surviving in the apocalypse is truly difficult. They could only hope that this extreme cold would kill fewer people.
After chatting, Zhou Yang and the others went downstairs to check the two apartments where the Chai and Lu families lived.
I was too tired before and didn't look at it carefully. I just hurriedly put the furniture in place, installed the air conditioner and heater, and left. Now I have to re-examine the insulation measures of both houses in a comprehensive way and redo any inadequate ones.
Zhou Yang looked around. Although foam insulation boards were installed on the outer walls, the windows were not airtight enough. So everyone applied sealant and added sealing strips. They also added an extra layer of thick thermal fabric to the curtains.
The floor was laid down for easy cleaning, and it's still usable for now, but it will get cold when the extreme cold comes. So Zhou Yang left several rolls of carpet-style electric blankets downstairs, so they can be laid directly on the floor and the temperature inside the house will rise a lot.
After finishing the insulation work on both houses, it was getting late, so everyone went back to rest.
Back home, Zhou Yang was still not sleepy, but with nothing to do, he suddenly remembered the large fishpond he had dug in his space before the apocalypse. He had originally planned to indulge in fishing in his space when he had free time, but he hadn't had a chance to fish even once.
Since he couldn't sleep and had nothing to do, Zhou Yang thought he would take this opportunity to experience it. So as soon as he returned to his room, he pulled Shen Zechuan into the space.
"???"
"!!!"
Shen Zechuan, who was also unable to sleep and was trying to coax Zhou Yang to relive their previous intimate moments, was pleasantly surprised when Zhou Yang took his hand, only to find himself being pulled into the living room on the first floor of the small building in the space.
After a moment of surprise, he thought Zhou Yang had the same idea as him, and his eyes lit up. Just as he was about to pull Zhou Yang upstairs to the master bedroom, a pole was shoved into his hand.
Looking down, I saw it was a fishing rod.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yang on the other side had already picked up a fishing rod, and there were even two large plastic buckets filled with one-third water at his feet.
"Aren't we... going upstairs to exercise?"
"Can you stop filling your head with dirty thoughts?" Zhou Yang rolled her eyes at him. "Come on, grab the bucket, let's go fishing! We'll have a whole fish feast tomorrow!"
After saying that, he shouldered his fishing rod and walked straight out.
Shen Zechuan sighed, picked up the bucket, and silently followed Zhou Yang with his fishing rod.
The fishpond was not far from the foot of the mountain, and not far from the small building either. The two of them walked there in a few minutes.
Stopping by the fishpond, Zhou Yang took out two small stools, one for himself and one for Shen Zechuan.
Although Zhou Yang had never fished before, he had seen it before and watched many videos, so as soon as he sat down, he started fiddling with his fishing rod and bait in a very professional manner, and even occasionally gave pointers to Shen Zechuan, who was stumbling beside him.
Feeling that fishing alone wasn't very interesting, Zhou Yang suggested, "How about we have a competition? Whoever catches the most fish wins. The loser has to wash smelly socks for a month!"
I had accumulated a lot of dirty socks during my rescue mission in Shanghai, which I hadn't washed yet.
"Go, go, go!"
Shen Zechuan, who doted on his wife, naturally agreed without hesitation.
Although Zhou Yang was full of confidence, fishing really depends on luck.
The two cast their lines at the same time, but after waiting for a long time, Zhou Yang's bait was all eaten, and not a single fish took the bait.
On the other hand, Shen Zechuan kept taking the bait, and soon his bucket was full of several big fish.
Zhou Yang refused to believe it and baited his hook with a large piece of bait again. He cast his line once more and finally caught a small fish. Meanwhile, Shen Zechuan's bucket was already full.
"..."
Damn it! He tried to set a trap for Shen Zechuan, but ended up trapping himself!
Enraged, Zhou Yang threw down the fishing rod in his hand.
