Natural Disaster Apocalypse

The government's control over people's hearts is still very accurate. Knowing when to make which decisions can calm the restless people's hearts to the greatest extent.

When Mu Nan’s community’s water supply also became difficult, their local news station and the community also announced the announcement. Starting from Monday, residents of each community will go to a specific place to receive state subsidies according to the notified time. Everyone needs to bring their own ID card to collect daily necessities, and they are not allowed to pick them up on their behalf. If there are special groups of people with limited mobility who cannot go out, they must report to the community, and the community will pick it up and distribute it to their homes in person.

At the beginning, the materials given were optional. Each person had a choice of three bottles of one liter of water, two catties of rice, or one bag of five small bags of instant noodles. There was really no way to do it in terms of dishes. Rain, no matter whether it is vegetables or grain grown in the open air, almost none of them are exposed to the sun. Although there are some high-end vegetables grown indoors, those that specialize in soilless cultivation, the amount of indoor cultivation is only so large, let alone supply It can't afford a city, and maybe even a district can't satisfy it. With such a scarcity, there is really no resource from above to distribute to the masses for appeasement. Moreover, these supplies are received every three days, that is to say, such a small amount is a three-day ration for one person. This is completely excluding living consumption and only giving the minimum survival needs.

But even so, many people are still appeased. At least they can get food for free, even if the amount is small, but they can’t starve to death. That’s good. After all, many people have been forced by high prices There is nowhere to go, and even if you are willing to spend money, you can't get many things at all.

When it was Mu Nan's turn to pick it up in the community, except for Zhang's family, the others on their floor had agreed to act together. Now the outside is already a bit chaotic, with speeding people, people blocking the road, people entering the house, and everyone else. This kind of robbery has even become blatant, but the binding force of the law is still there, so most of those people will find some single ones, or those who look easier to bully, and run away after the robbery for fear of being caught. They are a group of big boys, one of them is tall and burly, and they are not easy to mess with, so if they go together, they will feel more secure.

Since the last time Mu Nan got food poisoned, Qin Huai never let him go out again, but now because he couldn't pick up the things on his behalf, he could only let Mu Nan go out, as a way of letting him go. When the agreed time came, the three families almost got stuck in time to go out together, just in time to meet at the elevator entrance.

As soon as they met, Jian Chu asked the other two families: "Are there many cockroaches in your house?" He felt that he had already suffered from cockroach anxiety, and he always felt that there were everywhere in the house.

Xu Ming smiled and said: "Fortunately, I got a lot of pet deworming from the hospital, which is also somewhat effective against cockroaches, but the hospital is out of stock for the time being, and a batch will arrive next week. Do you have any?" If necessary, I can help you settle down first."

Mu Nan glanced at Qin Huai, and seeing Qin Huai nodding, he hurriedly said, "We want it! Can we just take a box?"

Xu Ming said: "It depends on the quantity of goods arriving at that time. Let's see when the time comes. If you can get more, I will try to get you a box."

Jian Chu was more realistic. Even though she wanted it very much, she still asked, "How much is a bottle?"

Xu Ming said: "I can directly take the current purchase price of the hospital, 361 bottles, 500ml, mainly for deodorizing and insect repelling, such as cockroaches, mosquitoes, and fleas and ticks that pets are more likely to provoke. The purchase price of these is very cheap, seventy or eighty, now as long as it has something to do with bugs, the price will skyrocket."

Hearing the price, Jian Chu couldn't help sighing: "It's so expensive, forget it, it's cheaper to kill insects manually."

The elevator came soon. Fortunately, the elevator was relatively empty. After all, they came out a bit late, because today they can go to collect things for free. Less.

Jian Chu looked at the spray fan in Mu Nan's hand, and said with a smile, "You're pretty good, just spray the fan, the wind blows on the face with the coolness of water vapor, why didn't I expect to be able to Buy this."

Mu Nan took a spray fan and sprayed it on Jian Chu twice: "I used to draw cartoons at home. In summer, I can stay away from the house for several months and stay in the air-conditioned room. When I saw this kind of fan that can spray water, I thought it was very interesting, so I bought it.”

It is true that he bought this fan before, but he did not expect that it would relieve the heat much more than ordinary fans, so after being reborn, he specifically looked for this kind of fan and bought a lot of it, but Qin Huai would rather use the hand fan instead. I don't want to hold such a cute little fan with its own spray.

Looking at Qin Huai who was fanning with a hand fan, Mu Nan took the spray fan in his hand and sprayed it on his face a few times to help him add some water to cool him down.

Qin Huai just took a look at him and let him go.

Because there are more people going out at night, the street lights outside have been reinstalled later, not to mention bright as day, but definitely denser and brighter than the previous street lights, and some street lights are specially installed above them. Mosquito traps, the swarms of mosquitoes are crackling around the mosquito traps.

They walked out of the community, and along the way, many people had already received the supplies and returned. Some were saying that the government was stingy, and that giving such a small amount of things would not be enough to fit between teeth. Some people are lamenting that the government’s goods are provided in a timely manner. If there is no distribution of these materials, the family will have no food. They just don’t know how long the materials can be distributed. Many people hope that they can be distributed until their lives are back on track. Otherwise, they will be laid off and unemployed. The high temperature and the lack of food, without these subsidies, they might not be able to survive.

Jian Chu said as he walked: "I heard that some communities have already started to install solar power generation. With the heat of the sun and the sunshine time, it is not easy to generate electricity."

Xu Mingdao: "That kind of community should be a villa area. If you want to provide solar energy for a residential building, unless you paste solar energy on the outer walls of the entire building, that may not be enough. Only the buildings in the villa area It’s very suitable, if we live in a community like ours, if we want to rely on solar power to generate electricity, the electricity we supply may only be able to maintain the consumption of elevators and street lights.”

Yu Zibai said: "However, if the current high temperature and sunshine will become the norm in life in the future, then the popularity of solar power generation is absolute. I just don't know if this is just for a while, or it will be like this in the future."

Jian Chu said: "It's too scary to be like this. With so little rain and so much sunshine, the water on the earth will be dried up, and people will have no way to live."

Xu Ming asked them as they walked: "It seems that there is a wave of returning home now. Many people can't stay in the city and want to let the government arrange to farm in the countryside."

Qin Huai didn't see similar news on the Internet, so he asked one more question: "How about the educated youth going to the countryside like before?"

Xu Ming: "It's definitely not the kind of educated youth going to the countryside. Even if the country wants to make such an arrangement to relieve the pressure on the city, those who live in the countryside may not be willing to accept it. Besides, there is no surplus land for planting, and the wasteland wants to be developed. It doesn't take a moment to come out, not to mention, the native city people, who know how to farm, with the current high temperature, they may not be able to grow even if they have land."

Jian Chu was also curious: "How did that happen?"

Xu Ming: "Maybe there will be a household registration check at that time. Those with rural household registration should return to the village as much as possible. Some people will see this opportunity and want to spend money to go with those who can go back to the village. They want to settle down in other villages. People are now looking for such resources around them, and it is said that if they can help them settle down, they don’t need to settle down, as long as they can have a place to live and a little land, they will be able to receive millions of thanks.”

Having said this, Jian Chu was even more puzzled: "With so much money, why don't you just go to the countryside to buy a house, how big is it, and you need someone to take it with you?"

Xu Ming smiled when he heard the words: "Do you think there are only good people in the city now? Seeing that the situation is getting worse and worse, among other things, in our thousands of years old concept, as long as there is land and land, it is better than others. There are more people to survive, especially in this kind of natural disaster. People who live in the city, once the water and electricity are cut off, they will die. They all flock to the countryside, which is equivalent to dispersing their original resource interests of the rural people. At the very least, the wasteland they could have reclaimed by themselves will be occupied by outsiders. If there is no relationship at this time, they will go to the countryside. Accept? People have long been united together to reject xenophobia."

What Xu Ming said is correct. Mu Nan also heard about this in his last life. It was after he had gone to those private bases and heard people there say that when the temperature was high, some people Seeing that the situation was not right, I wanted to move to the countryside. As a result, no matter whether I went early or late, if I did not have the help of relatives and friends in the village, I would be pushed out in the end. Those who bought relationships, but later, the money was worthless, so those who spent money to buy in were also driven away.

At the beginning of his rebirth, he had no idea of ​​going to the countryside to settle down. First, farming is not something you can think about and think that you can be fine. Second, even if he went to the village a year before the order collapsed, he would still be punished in the end. As a possibility to be driven away by outsiders, at that time, he will have no home in the city, and he will not be able to live in the countryside.

Hearing Xu Ming's words, Jian Chu sighed, glanced at Yu Zibai, and said with some regret: "We have no such relationship, there is no good thing about the demolition of villages in the city, and the poverty alleviation policy cannot be enjoyed, and the conditions for farmers to make a living are even worse. No, a city’s hukou used to be very popular, but looking at it now, it’s useless.”

Yu Zibo said: "My grandfather is from the countryside."

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him, even Jian Chu. Although he and Yu Zibai had known each other for many years, he didn't know much about Yu Zibai's family. He knew that Yu Zibai's mother had left for a long time. It's been 20 years, his father remarried, and he has a half-brother who is ten years younger. It's already a new family, so it has nothing to do with Yu Zibai anymore, but Yu Zibai didn't mention his grandfather much. .

Seeing their gazes, Yu Zibai shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I haven't even seen my grandfather. My grandfather left very early. At that time, my mother was still young. She lived under the fence and struggled out of the countryside. and never went back.”

Jian Chu sighed: "You said that those who struggled hard to get out of the countryside only to find out in the end that staying in the village is the best way, what would those people think?" But I didn't expect that the last life would be in the countryside, and I don't know if they will have a kind of sadness of being played by fate.

Xu Ming smiled: "Who knows, this is fate."

Walking out of the gate of the community, on the road all the way to the supermarket, there are already sporadic sales stalls. It is estimated that seeing that subsidies have been issued in the past few days, the flow of people on this road has increased, so I saw the opportunity to do some business. To make some money, in addition to selling some lighting toys, there are also clothes for daily use, and some people bring freezers and generators and sell popsicles directly on the side of the road.

Mu Nan glanced over there, there were two signs on the freezer, one was thirty and the other fifty, it was estimated that it was directly divided into two sides, one for thirty yuan and the other for fifty yuan. Curiously, he walked over to have a look, wanting to know what was sold there. He poked his head in and found that the popsicles that used to cost two or three yuan were now directly sold for 30 yuan, and those that were slightly more expensive for 4 or 5 yuan were directly sold for 50 yuan. ten.

It's been a while since he went out, Qin Huai was afraid that he would be hot, so he asked, "Buy one?"

Mu Nan shook his head, he was just looking at it, besides, he has enough space to store these things, why not eat them in a low-key way when the house is closed, why buy them outside where they are so expensive, and can only eat them ostentatiously on the road, He is not stupid.

Mu Nan directly pulled Qin Huai away, and as soon as they left, a child ran over from behind, pointed at the popsicle on the freezer: "Dad, I want to eat this."

When the child's father saw the price marked on it, he stretched out his hand and wanted to pull his son away: "Hurry up, let's go get the things and go home, it's so hot!"

The little boy insisted: "I want this, Dad, I want ice cream, I want it, I want it!"

The child's father probably felt hot and dry, and he was not happy that the child was making a fuss, so he slapped the child on the back of the head: "Whatever to eat, you can't afford it, and you still have to eat expensive ice cream , can you understand something!"

The child was beaten and cried loudly. The father dragged him away without any regrets. The passers-by just turned their heads and looked at it. None of them were troublesome. As for the outrageously expensive popsicles, no one was too talkative. Yes, now anything that can cool down, be it popsicles or water, is not cheap. Thirty to fifty is already considered normal, and some places sell it for one or two hundred.

When they finally reached the supermarket, there was still a bunch of people queuing up at the door, and all the people who distributed supplies were men in camouflage military uniforms, and there were two men with guns next to them. They were not supermarket employees at first glance. There was also a large advertising cloth beside those people, and a few headlights shone on the advertising cloth, clearly illuminating the words on it.

Both Qin Huai and Mu Nan's eyesight are very good, so they could read the content clearly from a long distance. It was written about the rules for the distribution of supplies. They can be picked up once every three days and cannot be picked up on their behalf. Parents have to bring their household registration to receive it, but they must be immediate relatives of the parents. If they are over 12 years old, they have to bring their children to collect it. There is no upper age limit for the elderly. Those who can move come by themselves, and those who cannot move report to the community, and the community will collect and distribute.

Mu Nan took a small fan and sprayed it on Qin Huai's face and neck, so that the wind on his body would not be so hot: "Brother, do we want rice or noodles?"

Qin Huai: "Just the same for each person, you get the rice, and I get the noodles."

Yu Zibai who was behind them said to Jian Chu: "We are all the same."

Xu Ming, who was standing at the front, looked back at the four people behind him: "Looking at you, I suddenly feel that the freedom of being alone is not good in an instant."

Mu Nan comforted: "It's okay, you still have a dog, although it belongs to another family."

Xu Ming said: "Speaking of dogs, do you know that many cats and dogs in the community have been beaten to death recently?"

Jian Chu frowned: "Do you eat meat after beating? Cat meat too?"

Xu Ming also looked disgusted: "People are extremely negative, they eat grass roots, and cats are nothing." That is to say, but he really hates this behavior, although he knows that it is also forced to survive. But some people who have never had pets will never understand the feeling of treating pets as family members. In peaceful times, there are still many people criticizing some people who do not hesitate to spend money on pets, let alone now.

Xu Ming can only be thankful that although he is a veterinarian, he doesn't have any pets, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to accept that the pets he raised with his own hands will be eaten by others.

The team moved quickly, and they arrived in a short while. When it was Qin Huai's turn, Qin Huai handed in his ID card for registration and asked, "Can I still go to the supermarket to buy things now?"

The soldier in charge of supplying the supplies said: "Yes, scan the code over there and follow the prompts to enter the online supermarket. You can get the pick-up number from the online transaction and go directly to the store to pick it up. Remember whose ID card you bought. goods, also cannot be collected on behalf of others, and the purchase is limited to once a week, and the purchased products are also limited, so you can know the specifics by scanning the code."

Qin Huai took back his ID card, took the water and instant noodles and thanked him, then went to the side to scan the QR code. Soon Mu Nan got the water and rice, Qin Huai opened the bag and asked him to put the things in the bag, Mu Nan also scanned the QR code with his mobile phone, planning to take a closer look when he got back.

Looking back, seeing Yu Zibai packing the water that Jian Chu had received into his bag, and seeing Qin Huai directly carrying the things for two people, he couldn't help laughing.

Qin Huai packed up his bag, and when he looked up, he saw him smiling at him, and he couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter? What are you laughing at?"

Mu Nan picked up the fan and fanned Qin Huai: "I laugh when I think of something funny."

Qin Huai didn't ask any further questions, and took a wet towel from the outside of the backpack to wipe Mu Nan's sweat. After wiping the wet towel on his forehead and neck, he fanned the wind and it became much cooler: "Just let you wear a vest and come out." , must wear short sleeves."

Mu Nan looked at the people who didn't even wear tops: "The ones who don't have clothes on don't mean they're sweating." With his white body and slender arms and legs, he doesn't have the nerve to wear a vest outside.

After Yu Zibai and the others also scanned the QR code of the supermarket, they returned. On the way, Jian Chu couldn't help registering the app that had just been scanned. He wanted to see what was on it, so he couldn't help saying : "A bottle of water is 25 yuan, and the purchase limit is five bottles, and you can only buy it once a week."

Yu Zibo said: "How many liters?"

Jian Chu: "500ml."

Xu Ming sighed: "It seems that the water resources are really tight. Even the official supermarket has this price. Have you noticed those people who distributed the supplies today? They are all soldiers. The supermarket closed more than ten days ago and caused a lot of trouble. There was a panic, and later it was said that it was rectification, and the door would be reopened soon, but when the door was opened again, there would be no ordinary employees.”

Jian Chu also sighed: "The situation is serious." Soon he will become a homeless person again. When the smog had not cleared, he was doing errands in this supermarket. After the smog cleared, the weather was too hot. He didn’t want to run errands to deliver goods, so he found a logistics job, mainly to deliver goods. Now their logistics seems to be closed, and the next one has not been found yet. With the current price, anyone who has a job can afford it I'm sorry, when I don't have a job, I really can only rely on these materials issued by the government to survive.

Knowing Jian Chu's pressure, Yu Zibai patted him on the shoulder twice to comfort him. Although he didn't have much money in his hands, it was better for two people to be together than to suffer alone.

When they were queuing before, they just talked about killing cats and dogs for meat. On the way back, they heard dogs screaming violently, and then saw a motorcycle, and the people on the back seat of the motorcycle were dragging A golden retriever's hind legs and the entire golden retriever's front body drove forward with the motorcycle, and were forced to drag on the ground, screaming and rubbing a dark trace on the road.

The speed of the motorcycle was very fast, and it passed by them in no time, but the screaming of the dog almost caused all the passers-by to stop and watch.

After the motorcycle dragged the dog past for a while, a girl behind who should have lost her shoes was holding a half-cut traction rope in her hand, crying and chasing, probably to the point where she was really Without strength, she fell to the ground and couldn't get up again. The girl's hands and feet were covered in blood, and she was still screaming for Rupees heart-piercingly.

The desperation and helplessness in the voice made the hearts of the listeners ache.

Qin Huai stretched out his arms to embrace Mu Nan, and put one hand on the back of Mu Nan's head, forcing him to turn his head and stop looking.

Xu Ming handed the backpack to Yu Zibai: "You guys help me take it back, my clinic is very close here, I'll take her to treat the wound." Gouzi obviously can't get it back, but if anyone can help, please help .

Yu Zibai responded, and couldn't help sighing, seeing Xu Ming walking towards the girl, he said, "Let's go, go home." When you get home and close the door, you won't see so many suffocating tragedy.
