Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 705: The Best Thing is When You Don’t Need It

In the past, President Xu did not attend these meetings, but as the world changes, the bigwigs have discovered that they must seek help from professionals and refer to their opinions when making decisions.

After a long silence, General Alliance Officer Li asked everyone to vote by raising their hands. The result was a mixed bag of opinions, and the matter once again reached a deadlock.

At this time, Mao Mengguan spoke up: "How about we wait for a while? From the data we have monitored, the ocean is still relatively calm."

Before Chief Alliance Officer Li could speak, President Xu nodded: "That's fine. I'm not forcing you to make a decision now, but for many things, when we are not aware of the danger, shouldn't we be prepared in advance?

Maybe one day, it will be proven that all our preparations are in vain. But even if it costs time and effort, it is better than regretting not preparing in advance when the disaster occurs, right?

Besides, doesn't useless work just prove that our country is doing well and nothing has happened? "Just like insurance, it's best if you don't need it.

Chief Alliance Officer Li nodded, "That's right, our Qinghe Alliance exists for the safety of the people. All the preparations we made before were also to preserve our strength so that we can overcome the difficulties together."

Dean Xu took a deep breath and thought it was good enough as long as everyone listened.

However, General Alliance Officer Li still said: "As for the announcement, let's wait for a while. The marine department will observe it again."

He was also worried that if he spoke out without any basis, it would cause further turmoil in the already unstable society.

Moreover, facing the unknown, human imagination is endless. Don’t let everyone have their own opinions and let panic speech continue to ferment on the Internet. In the end, nothing has happened yet, but you have scared yourself crazy.

Don't think it's alarmist, people can really scare themselves crazy. Although the news has been blocked temporarily, the bosses are also thinking about the majority of people.

"How is the construction going on in the Kunmeng Mountains?" asked Chief Alliance Officer Li.

"The first phase of the project has been completed. If people squeeze in, it can accommodate at least 10 million people."

Although it can accommodate a lot of people, Chief Alliance Officer Li still sighed: "Not enough, keep speeding up. If there is a shortage of manpower, you can continue to post recruitment notices."

"Know!"

"What about the injection of desensitizer?"

Dean Xu has the most say on this issue. He cleared his throat and said, "At present, the Research Institute has completed the injection of the Imperial Capital and a total of seven provinces and cities around it. As of April 29, Qinghua citizens have received a total of 260.714 million doses of sun desensitizer.

When registering for the injection, we found that many citizens have already achieved self-immunity. Based on the data, it is speculated that the demand for sunlight desensitizers in Qinghua Country may be greatly reduced in the future. "

Chief Alliance Officer Li nodded and said, "Please pay more attention to the next work and strive to completely eliminate the impetigo by the end of this year."

After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "If we have the capacity to spare, we can produce more. We can take them abroad and cheat them out of a batch of supplies."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was laughter in the conference room.

The bosses all felt that Chief Alliance Officer Li’s decision was very wise.

What time is it now? The end of the world! While talking about morality, we pay more attention to interests!

So the big guys all smiled and gave suggestions, discussing what materials could be exchanged and how to exchange them in order to gain the greatest benefits.

Time quickly came to mid-May.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan had been worried for more than half a month, but in fact nothing happened. Not only was their Hai City safe and sound, but even other places in Qinghua Country were calm and peaceful.

Shen Yanming applied for leave from Guo Tingshuo, who was surprised for a moment and went to report to his superior.

Because the couple had registered with Wen Mengguan, they were approved very quickly. However, Wen Mengguan asked Bi Qiaoan to finish making and handing in the medicine powder and pills for this month in advance.

The couple had no objection to this. They had already prepared for this, so they made at least three months' worth of food in advance.

After handing over the May supply to Li Gangtie, the family packed up and prepared to set off.

Shen Yanming asked his colleagues if they wanted to go together, but they were all very busy and didn't particularly want to travel, so they all declined.

Even Miao Yifeng, who had been clamoring to go at the beginning, shook his head and said with a smile: "If you have any good stuff, just bring some for us."

Shen Yanming nodded: “Okay, no problem!”

The couple also asked Zhang Heping and his team, but everyone was very busy and they couldn't ask for leave. So the couple had no choice but to go with their child.

In fact, they were both very happy. Without anyone familiar around them, they had more room to maneuver.

Under everyone's gaze, the couple loaded their luggage into the car and put two large bags of food in it.

After greeting everyone, Shen Yanming slowly left the escort team amid the envious and jealous gazes of others.

The couple didn’t have a clear destination, so after asking their two little ones for their opinions, they decided to visit several major cities from north to south.

After a day or two of driving, the family of four finally arrived at Beiha City, the northernmost city.

Looking at the city with almost no greenery, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were dumbfounded.

After asking the locals, I learned that the winter here was too cold and many trees were frozen to death. Even if they were not dead, the weather had just warmed up and the trees and grass had just turned green, so they had not grown much yet.

The couple took their two children to travel around the city, and walked to a small town in the suburbs. They found that there were no people and many houses had collapsed. After asking around, they found out that they collapsed due to heavy snow on New Year's Day.

Most of the residents here have been relocated, and those who remain are nostalgic.

"Well, we are still lucky. The town of Xiaoshi was buried by the avalanche." The locals looked relieved.

"Now that the weather is warmer, someone will go over...um, to clean up the mess?" Shen Yanming was too embarrassed to say the words "collect the bodies".

"Yes, the guards went there as soon as the snow melted. All the victims were cremated and buried in the cemetery. People here will go there to pay their respects whenever they are free. They are all compatriots, and we are also very sad that they are gone."

As the man spoke, he began to cry.

There are his good friends and relatives over there, but things are unpredictable. Who could have thought that after a winter, they would be separated from each other.

Shen Yanming also felt sad. He was silent, looking at the devastation around him, as if he was there and felt the same way.

After the other person finished crying, he took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and said, "Wipe it off. The dead are gone. The living are the most important."

The old man nodded: "Yeah, I don't know how it is over there, but here, many people have gone. Even I don't know when I left."

Shen Yanming didn't respond, but only said: "Would you please point me to the way to Xiaoshi Town? My family and I would also like to pay our respects."
