Finally, after many discussions and negotiations, the people of Base A reached a compromise: in emergencies, a mercenary reward system can be adopted to motivate people to complete important tasks; but in daily resource allocation, the principle of equal distribution should still be adhered to to ensure that everyone can get basic survival guarantees.

While not perfect, this plan did somewhat ease the divisions and conflicts within the base. People began to understand and support each other in the apocalypse, facing the challenges of the future together. They understood that only by uniting and working together could they survive in this dangerous and uncertain world.

In a post-apocalyptic survival base, a heated argument over resource allocation and regulations continues, with all parties struggling to reconcile. Ultimately, to quell the endless conflict, the base's leaders decide to let power prevail, making it the ultimate criterion.

However, this decision triggered even greater unrest. The elderly, the young, the sick, and the disabled, already vulnerable in the apocalypse, suddenly found themselves excluded from resource allocation considerations. They were powerless to compete, and even less able to prove their worth.

Some people began to feel dissatisfied, and they gathered together to loudly protest this unfair decision. They claimed that in the end times, everyone should be treated and cared for equally, and should not be ignored or abandoned because of differences in strength.

"Although we are old and weak, we are also part of the base! We can't be abandoned like this!" said a white-haired old man excitedly.

"We are children. We don't have the power to fight, but we have the right to survive! We should not be deprived of basic protection!" A group of children gathered together, tears in their eyes.

The protesters' voices echoed throughout the base, attracting increasing attention. Some began to sympathize with their plight, believing the base's decision to be cruel and ruthless; others, however, insisted that in the apocalypse, strength was the only guarantee of survival, and those who could not adapt were destined to be eliminated.

The base's leaders faced immense pressure. They knew this decision could spark further conflict and even threaten the base's stability and security. However, they also understood that in the apocalypse, scarce resources and a dangerous environment forced them to make a difficult choice.

Finally, after lengthy discussions and negotiations, the base's leaders decided to provide certain care and protection for special groups like the elderly, the young, the sick, and the disabled. They established a dedicated agency to provide these people with the necessary food, water, and medical care to ensure their basic survival in the apocalypse.

Although this decision could not completely quell everyone's dissatisfaction and protests, it did ease the tension within the base to a certain extent. People began to accept this reality, understanding that in the end times, everyone needed to work hard to survive, but at the same time, they also needed to pay attention to those vulnerable groups who were unable to protect themselves.

Despite the cruelty of the apocalypse, humanity's warmth and solidarity never fade. In this world filled with challenges and uncertainties, people have begun to learn to support each other and face difficulties together. They understand that only through unity and joint efforts can they survive this apocalyptic world.

In some corners of the apocalypse, some survival bases have adopted an extreme and cruel method to control the population size and composition - the Hunger Games. This system, as the name suggests, puts people's survival and death in a cruel competition, in order to screen out the so-called "strong" and thus maintain the "purity" and "efficiency" of the base.

The leaders of these bases believe that in the apocalyptic world, resources are limited and cannot support a large population. To ensure the sustainable development of the bases, they must control the population size and optimize the population structure. The Hunger Games, in their view, are the most direct and effective means of achieving this.

In the Hunger Games, participants are deprived of most food and water, forced to seek survival in a dangerous environment. Not only do they face the harsh natural environment, but they also compete with other participants for limited resources. In this game, only the strongest survive and enjoy the high-quality resources provided by the base; the weak are destined to be eliminated, becoming just another ghost in the apocalypse.

This system sparked immense controversy and discontent within the base. Many believed the Hunger Games approach was too cruel and inhumane, completely violating basic human morality and dignity. They protested the system and called on the base's leaders to adopt more humane and reasonable methods of population control.

However, the leaders of the base turned a deaf ear to this. They believed that in the apocalypse, survival was the most important virtue. For the future of the base, they were willing to sacrifice the interests of some. In their eyes, the Hunger Games were not only a means of population control, but also a way to train and select the strongest.

However, this system did not bring true prosperity and stability to the base. Instead, it exacerbated internal conflicts and divisions, leading to increasing tension and hostility among the people. At the same time, the Hunger Games destroyed people's trust and unity, making the base extremely vulnerable to external threats.

Ultimately, the Hunger Games led to the decline and destruction of some bases. They lost the trust and support of their people, unable to maintain internal stability and order. Those who survived, however, harbored deep hatred and resentment, waiting for the day they could overthrow this cruel system.

In the apocalypse, survival is crucial, but human dignity and morality are equally crucial. While extreme control methods like the Hunger Games may achieve short-term results, they cannot bring about true, lasting peace and prosperity. In the apocalypse, we need not only the wisdom and courage to survive, but also the radiance and warmth of humanity.
