"Oh, what a sin."

"You are reluctant to drink the water, leaving it for your children, who will die of thirst. What's the point?"

"Why is she so depressed? If she were alive, she could at least catch some mosquitoes to exchange for some bean cakes. Now she's dead, and her grandchildren are five and four years old. What will they do in the future?"

"I heard that he didn't drink, but he drank less, only one or two sips a day."

"What's the use of that! Don't you see how hot the weather is? What will the child's parents say?"

"What can my parents do? They go out to work every day and don't notice it at all. I say it will be even more difficult in the future. They work themselves to death every day and can't even earn enough to feed themselves, let alone two children. Sigh!"

"If you ask me, I just can't get over it. It's so good to be alive. You can have 1 liter of water every day. Now you die, you don't even have 1 liter of water."

"She didn't expect it either."

"What's so unexpected? It's so hot out there. How can I help drinking just one or two sips every day?"

"I heard that she would filter the water when she got it home, and then boil it for the child to drink, so there would be even less water when it reached her mouth."

"If you ask me, just drink it directly. Why boil it? It would be a waste if it evaporates."

"Are you stupid? The water is so turbid that you can't even see people clearly. If you really give it to the child directly, what if he gets sick? Where is the food to treat the disease? You don't know what is more important."

"you……"

People are restless and will feel even worse when seeing such a tragedy.

A group of people started arguing right outside the door.

Ji He turned around and walked home without saying a word.

The sufferings of the last days cannot be controlled by human power.

Back in the house, she closed her eyes and sorted out the supplies in the space for a while, then silently put a batch of water on the shelf.

The water from the tap is priced differently than the lake water system.

Lake water is cheap, tap water is expensive.

Ji He put the lake water on the shelves. It’s drinkable anyway, and it’s cheap so they can use their resources to buy more to drink.

Just after she put the water on the shelf, she heard the voice of the loud speaker outside, "Get the water! Get the water! Those who live nearby, please bring your containers and ID cards to get the water! No more waiting after the expiration date!"

She stood up, put on her clothes, picked up the bottle of mineral water and turned to leave the house.

There weren't many people, about 7 or 8. Everyone wore plastic bags on their heads and were about 1 meter apart from each other. Although it was very hot and stuffy, even if they farted or smelled the stench, they would have room to react and would not pass out from the fumes.

Ji He calculated the time and secretly took out the odor collector after everyone around him had farted. After holding his breath, he squeezed it hard and let out a loud and smelly fart.

This caused the people around to retreat.

She also covered her face, lowered her head, and pretended to be embarrassed.

He quietly let out another loud fart.

Now it’s good, there is no one within two meters ahead and behind.

The reason why Ji He was able to have this fart was mainly thanks to Yun Chong and others' forward line.

Without the wave of sacrifices before its death, she wouldn't know where to find the smell of stinky farts to integrate into society.

Isn’t that settled?

Because of the smell, no one among the neighbors suspected Ji He.

Not only no doubt.

No matter what happened, everyone stayed away from her, for fear that she would be suffocated by her fart and waste medical expenses.

Based on private chats among everyone.

This girl might have eaten too many bugs, so her farts are particularly smelly.

Everyone who has smelled it says it's one of the top three stinkiest farts.

Although no one has been sent to the hospital for the time being, no one dares to take the risk.

She stood in the crowd with a calm expression, watching others carrying water and healthy bean cakes home.

"Director Xu, is there any meat today?"

"How could that be possible? Meat needs to be exchanged at the exchange office. We only have bean cakes here."

"This bean cake seems to be getting darker. Before, you could see some grain in it, but it seems to have become harder in the past few days."

"I think so."

"I really want to eat meat."

"Then you can use a kitchen knife. If you have a butcher knife, that will also work."

"My greedy boy secretly took it away and exchanged it a long time ago! Now there is not even a nail clipper left in the house!"

"Director Xu, can we give out more water? It's so hot and this little water is not enough to drink."

"You can take the props to the exchange office to exchange them."

"But I still have to keep the knife at home for self-defense."

Listening to other people chatting, Ji He said nothing and waited in line quietly. Soon it was her turn.

Ji He reached out and handed over the 30 kilograms of mosquitoes.

Director Xu, who was wearing a gas mask, took it and weighed it. It was a little over 30 kilograms.

After confirming that it was correct, she used the hand that had just received the mosquito to pick up two black and hard healthy bean cakes from the large basin next to her and handed them over.

"Two bean cakes, take them. And your water."

"Next."

Ji He took it with a smile, put it carefully into his pocket, then turned around and walked home.

There was a water shortage at that time and people didn't care about anything. Everyone just ate directly and no one cared whether they washed their hands or did unclean things.

There is no point in being picky. If you want to eat it, you don’t have to eat it. If you don’t eat it, you will be hungry.

After returning home, Ji He casually put the healthy bean cakes into the space, preparing to feed them to the chickens.

At this point, her work for the day in front of outsiders was completed.

She has to continue working for the rest of the time.

As for rest?

Don't even think about it.

There is still a lot of work waiting for her.

Although she didn't have to cook for the time being and seemed to have two hours free, she still had to organize the storage space and cook for the livestock.

It also takes at least 3 hours every day to go to the store to stock the supplies.

In the remaining time, I have to process and cut the animal meat that I got from Chef Xinsang into small pieces. I am busy all day long.

…

City A, grain planting area.

Xie Cheng, with a group of people behind him, was inspecting the plantation.

It has been several months since the extreme heat arrived.

After all the crops and vegetables that had been exposed to the sun died, they immediately organized people to build greenhouses.

A large amount of resources and manpower and material resources are spent to create an environment suitable for plant growth and to grow as many vegetables and grains as possible.

With so many people, if there is no stable source of food, the little that is left will be eaten up sooner or later.

Xie Cheng looked at the corn that was growing pretty well and nodded. Just as he was about to reach out and break it open to see if the fruit was full, he was immediately stopped by the person next to him.

"Old Xie, stop, you can't touch it directly."

"I'm sorry for being rude." Xie Cheng apologized immediately. This plant is so precious, what if he damaged it?

"No, I'm afraid that you might get poisoned if you don't wash your hands after touching the food, which would be a waste of medical resources." The person who spoke was Sun Guohua, a famous domestic botany expert. He handed Xie Cheng a glove and motioned him to put it on before touching.
