Lu Sheng turned off the TV and swallowed the last mouthful of kimbap.

I turned the kitchen faucet and sure enough the water stopped.

The light panel in the bathroom was flickering and the power supply was unstable.

High temperatures have caused frequent breakdowns of power supply lines. Although the power supply was temporarily restored today, the power supply lines will soon be completely scrapped due to repeated repairs.

It's easy to say that there is no electricity, and at worst it will last until sunrise and sunset, but the water supply cutoff in this hot weather will really cause a large number of people to lose the guarantee of survival.

You will starve to death if you don't eat for half a month, and you will starve to death if you don't drink water for three days.

"Lu Sheng, the water supply is out, should we go out and buy some water?" Sun Tiantian knocked on the door.

Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Then I'll change my clothes."

Although there is no shortage of supplies in her space for the time being, she cannot give them out for them to use openly. And she also plans to go out and try her luck to see if she can earn more points.

When Lu Sheng changed clothes and went to 402, she found that Xiao Yu and Sun Tiantian had called Xu Yi too.

Xu Yi glanced at the eager eyes looking up and down the stairs, "We can't all four of us leave, at least one person must stay."

Xiao Yu nodded hurriedly, "Let Tiantian stay at home. She is so delicate and frail that she can't even carry a few bottles of water when she goes out."

Lu Sheng interrupted Xiao Yu, "No, you stay, Tiantian follows Teacher Xu and me to find water."

"But..." Xiao Yu looked at Sun Tiantian in embarrassment, "She can't do anything by following you. She will just join in the trouble."

Lu Sheng put the thermostat on Sun Tiantian and gave her a dagger, "You can rest assured if she can guard the crystal by herself? Can she stop those people from rushing in?"

The base security provided by the system is very powerful, and Lu Sheng is actually not worried about those people breaking in.

But if Sun Tiantian has been hidden in the greenhouse, she will always be a fragile flower, and in the apocalypse, she will fall when the wind blows.

Only by personally experiencing this chaotic and crazy world can Sun Tiantian truly realize her current situation.

"I'm following Lu Sheng and Teacher Xu." Sun Tiantian carefully put the dagger in her pants pocket, "Xiao Yu, please stay. I can't rely on you all the time to support me. I have to make some contribution."

After arranging the division of labor, Lu Sheng left a composite crossbow for Xiao Yu.

When Xu Yi drove to the shopping mall, the entire pedestrian street was already lined with people. A team of police officers with live ammunition guarded the queue. Even if the crowd was excited, they had to wait in line.

"Each person is limited to purchasing one bottle of 500ml purified water with their ID card, and they can only buy it once every two days." Xu Yi jumped out of the car and ran to the front of the queue to look at the sign.

Sun Tiantian pursed her lips subconsciously, "A bottle of water for two days? What's that enough for..."

"That's right, the little stuff I gave you is not enough for a bath of urine."

Someone at the front of the line complained.

“I queued for hours for this bottle of water and drank half of it after buying one sip.”

Lu Sheng looked at the endless queue and closed the car door, "Don't waste time here, let's go look elsewhere."

"But now that all water resources should be controlled by the government, where can we find water?" Sun Tiantian asked.

"The bottled water in our school is delivered by a small water station. I have heard others say before that this water station supplies tap water with its own filter."

Lu Sheng found the business card of Xiaoshui Station from his mobile phone and sent it to Xu Yi, "This kind of private workshop should not have been requisitioned by the government yet. Let's try our luck?"

The address on the business card is near the suburbs, and the highway along the way has been taken over by wildly growing plants.

The asphalt road was filled with potholes and bumps due to the new seedlings that had sprouted from the ground. Fortunately, Xu Yi's car's chassis was high enough, so he stumbled to the right place.

The old bungalow at Xiaoshui Station had been submerged by ivy, and several people searched for a while before they found the door.

Xu Yi used a pair of big scissors to trim out the general shape of the door, and then waved to Lu Sheng and Sun Tiantian.

The water station is not large in scale. Judging from the entry and exit records, it has been abandoned for two months. However, there are still more than 20 barrels of inventory left in the warehouse. Although it is not enough, it can temporarily solve the urgent need.

Three people loaded the water into the car in batches. If it couldn't be loaded, they tied it to the roof of the car with ropes.

Just as he was about to be transported back to Beijing University, Sun Tiantian suddenly screamed and hugged Lu Sheng.

"Something... licked me..."

Sun Tiantian hung on Lu Sheng like an octopus, pointed at the weeds up to her knees and said in a trembling voice.

Lu Sheng glanced at Sun Tiantian's calf, which was wet with saliva.

Bliss.

A tongue stuck out from the grass, and just as it was about to touch Lu Sheng's ankle, she grabbed it.

"It seems... there is a sheep."

Lu Sheng used all his strength to pull the animal out of the weeds, and it turned out to be an adult sheep!

The sheep's wool was dark and knotted, and it was fastened to the body like armor. The sheep was not afraid of people. It must have been thirsty, and it stuck out its thorny tongue to lick the sweat on Lu Sheng's legs.

Lu Sheng got tired of being licked by it, so Bang Bang punched him on the head twice.

The sheep meowed for a while, tilted its neck and fainted.

Xu Yi pulled the sheep to the side of the car and checked it. "There are holes in the ears and a sign. It should have been lost in a nearby breeding farm."

"Tan Yang Shop... seems to be a Xinjiang barbecue restaurant quite far away." Sun Tiantian picked up the sign and took a look at it, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva, "The grilled buns are so delicious."

"This sheep can't go far from the breeding farm. Let's search nearby and we should be able to find a farm."

Lu Sheng stood up, took out his telescope and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, I found a Dongcheng breeding farm not far away.

The three people drove over and found that there were more than a dozen adult sheep scattered in the farm. They were all lying on the ground with their tongues hanging out from thirst.

"How can we get back so many sheep?" Sun Tiantian poured some water into the sink.

Lu Sheng sharpened his knife at the sheep, grabbed one and shaved it clean. "It's too troublesome to take it back, so I can only kill it and take away the meat."

"But how can we preserve so much meat? It will go bad in a long time." Sun Tiantian was a little worried.

Even if all these sheep were killed and deboned, more than 400 kilograms of pure mutton would be left.

The vacuum bag Xu Yi gave could seal up to 100 kilograms of mutton, so it would be a problem to dispose of the remaining 300 kilograms of meat.

"You can use diluted formalin." At the critical moment, Xu Yi suddenly said, "There are some iron barrels in the farm. If you soak the mutton in diluted formalin, it can be stored for about three or four days."

"But……"

Sun Tiantian hesitated, "Can meat soaked in formalin still be eaten?"

"As long as it can be stored for three days, we can exchange it for some shelf-stable supplies on the black market."

Lu Sheng nodded slightly, "But where can I find formalin now?"

"There should be some inventory in the specimen room in the Peking University Medical Building. You two wait here while I go get it."
