Calamity Strikes: I Pick Up Scraps in Dungeons

When Ji He first transmigrated, she thought she had the script of a business tycoon.

She worked hard to earn money, aiming to count money until her hands cramped.

Then she suddenly disc...

Chapter 397 More People

Everyone fell silent when they heard the answer.

You might say that he lied, but he really didn't. You can eat as much as you want. There are so many insects in the water. Can you eat as much as you want?

Eat as much as you want.

It’s just that this all-you-can-eat option and the all-you-can-eat option offered by foreigners seem to be two different things.

The gifted person who spreads domestic news: I am suffering here, why are you so picky when you eat potatoes at home? I let you show off, come over here and eat raw worms.

That’s right, the country’s punishment measures for criminals no longer include the death penalty. All manpower must be squeezed out. These prisoners just drink raw water and chew insects every day.

If you are lucky and survive, you will be released after serving your sentence. If you are unlucky and die from eating too much, you can only say that you have a bad fate.

The natural disaster is so severe and the resources are so precious that we cannot afford to waste them on criminals.

With the storage of large amounts of food, new problems arise.

It’s too humid, hot and damp, which is very unfavorable for storage.

According to the previous pickling method, the meat would naturally be applied with a large amount of salt and then hung up to dry.

Or the meat is dried by smoking by burning wood.

But now the base is short of both salt and wood.

There was no way to guarantee such a large-scale storage of food, so they could only start recruiting people with fire talents to come to the base to work and barbecue.

But the problem arises again. Most of the talented people who have not joined the base team until now are ready to go it alone.

If the points are too low, no one will do it. If the points are too high, it is not worth it.

It would be fine if it were just that, but now most people with talent don’t want points. If you want them to work, you can only pay them with food or silver and copper coins, otherwise you can’t get them to work at all.

Looking at the high appearance fee, the base leader was so angry that he slammed the table, but he used too much force and accidentally broke the table.

I felt so heartbroken at that time.

The subordinate said cautiously, "Boss, have you noticed that you are much stronger now? Last time you patted Mr. Zhang's shoulder, you even patted his lumbar disc and it got worse..."

"Nonsense, what does my patting his shoulder have to do with his waist? He was having an attack, it has nothing to do with me! Don't even think about blaming me!"

"Ahem, Mr. Zhang doesn't think so. He's still lying on the floor downstairs. I'll let you take responsibility."

The base commander waved his hand, indicating that it was a trivial matter.

As he walked, he kept muttering, "These gifted people are getting more and more excessive. Have they forgotten their identity as human beings?"

"During this period, the conflicts between talented people and ordinary people in the base have indeed increased." The secretary said this with some helplessness.

When ordinary people go out to look for a job, if they meet talented people competing for the same position, they will have no advantage at all and will basically be eliminated.

After all, whether in terms of physical strength or fitness, talented people can do twice as much work as ordinary people for the same salary.

Many people think that talented people should not compete with them for the same job, which is unfair.

Correspondingly, if they encounter danger when they are outside, they will immediately run to the gifted to seek shelter. Many people also think that the gifted are powerful and should protect the weak.

On the other hand, the mentality of the gifted is also changing. As they have been gifted for longer, they begin to look down on ordinary people, thinking that they are incompetent, useless, and a drag.

In order to ensure the survival rate of ordinary people, the base also has some policies that favor ordinary people, which also makes the talented people feel dissatisfied.

Natural disasters are difficult to deal with, so we should first ensure that some elites survive. Otherwise, if all the talented people die, the remaining ordinary people will not be able to survive.

Due to various factors, conflicts between gifted people and ordinary people began to increase.

In addition, most of the people who are still alive today have undergone significant mental changes compared to before.

More anxious, sensitive, and irritable.

Sometimes it’s just small things, like an ordinary person bumping into a gifted person, or getting mud on a gifted person’s clothes, etc.

This was not a big deal before, at most the two parties would just argue, but now it has become a fuse for people to fight.

Exacerbating the conflict between ordinary people and gifted people.

To this end, the base has come up with many solutions, including visits by psychologists, storytellers, and even free rental of mahjong.

All useless.

When survival is oppressed, people simply cannot immerse themselves in the game.

The base commander thought about what had happened during this period and sighed. He felt like he had aged ten years. "Forget it, let's find someone to go to the beach."

After all, the water there is salty, so it would be nice to get some salt.

"Yes." The secretary nodded and turned away quickly.

The base commander sat back down at the repaired desk and picked up the document to read.

After the natural disaster, heavy rain hindered people's understanding of the seaside. Their base was the closest to the seaside, so they should go and take a look.

Moreover, there is sea water at the seaside, and there is salt in the sea water. If they can bring back a large amount of salt, the storage of materials at their base will undoubtedly be smoother.

In the early morning, Ji He finished his exercise and walked back from Coach Luo's house.

Luo Yu was too young, and Coach Luo was worried about taking him out to sea, so during this period everyone else was busy renting boats to go out to sea. They stayed at home the whole time and didn't go anywhere. They also took on a few jobs of helping others make beds to supplement their household expenses.

Ji He never stopped exercising.

When she arrived at the entrance of Area A, she suddenly found a queue at the entrance.

You have to know that the threshold for admission to Area A is not low. This is the first time I have seen people queuing to enter since Ji He moved in.

During the inspection, she casually asked, "Why are there so many people living in Area A during this period?"

"She's said to be a relative of the resident." The inspector glanced at Ji He casually and was about to let her in. Then, as if talking to himself, he added, "People nowadays have so many relatives. A family can have seven or eight people."

Ji He's eyes flashed, his smile remained unchanged, and he walked in naturally.

The staff continued to check the next one.

Ji He came from the lower class, and she knew best how difficult it was to deal with little devils. In peacetime, there would always be people who would take advantage of the weak and take advantage of the weak. Security guards would steal the cards of delivery guys and make them walk more than 10 minutes to deliver the food.

After a natural disaster, human emotions are amplified. Some people show their kind side, and naturally some people show their evil side.

Different people treat things with different attitudes. Where she lived before, everyone around her was poor, and they were all old neighbors who had known each other for decades. As long as she acted as poor as them, or even worse than them, she could live a peaceful life.

But she didn't buy it, so she naturally changed her behavior.

Every day when she goes out, she would greet the security guards at the door with a smile, and occasionally she would give them a scallion grown at home, or a piece of sugar that had melted in the sun before the natural disaster.

There isn't much, just take one out occasionally.
