Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...
Chapter 089 I Will Never Regret Entering China
Is this really the case?
Jingshu shook her head. The group of people who had just robbed the food were still excited. They had not finished their food yet, but they had already experienced the pleasure of getting food easily. After eating the food distributed by the government that they could not swallow, they would quit their jobs again and turn their attention to places farther away, such as fat sheep like her.
There are also a group of people like Jingpan who have stockpiled a lot of food. There is even a group of young people who have read a lot of doomsday novels and have stockpiled a lot of food. They are not short of food and have not reached the point of being penniless.
As a result, those who rob will always be able to steal food. Coupled with the manipulation of the three parties behind the scenes, some gangs just want to kill for the sake of killing, which will only make Wucheng more and more chaotic!
But no matter what, for Wucheng, which had been in chaos for half a month, this news was undoubtedly exciting, and a heated discussion immediately broke out in the group.
Luozhu No. 9: "I heard that after the cooked food was distributed, the water provided to each person became even less. I don't know if it will be enough to drink in such a hot day."
Fat Girl No. 25: "My relative's family is owned by the government. I heard they will have a daily supply of fresh vegetables starting tomorrow. I just don't know what we will have."
Zhu Fan No. 7: "Whatever it is, it's good to have something to eat. I'm already nauseous from eating tree bark, and before, I even despised white rice. This darkness has lasted for half a year. When will the sun return?"
Wang Cuihua sent a voice message: "My family is planning to ride our bikes to Aijia Supermarket to queue up at 3 o'clock tonight. Anyone want to join us?"
Wind No. 3: "Auntie, please take me with you."
Wang Cuihua said: "I have been told many times not to call me auntie. I only recognize grandchildren, not nephews."
Feng was speechless again, and the group chat was ended by Wang Cuihua again.
Jingshu's family set out at 4:30 in the morning of the next day. They first sent Jing's mother to work, and then the two old people, Jing's father, Jingshu and Wu Youren continued to drive to Aijia Supermarket. At that time, they were really glad that they bought the 7-seater BYD Song X, which had a lot of space.
Wucheng was pitch black all the way, and even the special bus had stopped running recently, but fortunately the groundwater was decreasing unnoticed, so the energy vehicles just had to drive along the curb.
The broken glass of the energy vehicle was cut by Jing's father and replaced with the unwanted glass. Jingshu was thinking about where to get some bulletproof glass to raise the chassis of the vehicle. After all, the roads will become more and more difficult to travel in the future, so an off-road vehicle is better.
Third Aunt Jinglai gets up at 3 a.m. every day to take the government bus to work. She has been very busy recently as she has been assigned to Aijia Supermarket to prepare cooked food.
Jingshu herself didn't expect that, through her, Third Aunt was able to get a job in the system that she thought was very good in her previous life.
Wu Youai was so angry that she refused to get up and go to the supermarket despite having panda eyes. She also said:
"I would rather not eat or drink water and sleep at home."
In the end, she was defeated by Jingnai's bowl of glutinous rice balls. Wu Youai actually liked eating glutinous rice balls... Jingshu ate three bowls in a row and didn't think they were delicious.
Jingshu understood Wu Youai's feelings very well. She also used to like sleeping in, but ever since she drank the spiritual spring, she no longer felt sleepy. She could no longer feel what it felt like to sleep soundly.
I basically fall asleep as soon as I close my eyes, and it’s time to get up as soon as I open them. I don’t even dream, and the sleeping experience is extremely bad.
At 5:00 am on Monday, May 22, after sending Jing's mother to work, Jingshu and her family went to Aijia Supermarket.
This place has changed a lot. Jing's father parked the energy truck on the side of the road. The family went in with sticks, weapons, and 4-liter mineral water bottles, along with the bustling people around them.
Because everyone in the robbery was holding weapons and dishes, it was very funny. It looked more like Jingshu's family was just strolling on the street.
The supermarket was surrounded by a high wall and separate entrances and exits to prevent the previous attack. Headlights illuminated the long queue at the entrance.
A row of armed police and security guards with shields stood at the door, and started the body search and security check mode. Anyone who brought weapons was put on the other side. Jingshu and her family turned back and put the weapons back in the car.
Ling is very cold.
Grandma Jing and Grandpa Jing both wore cotton jackets and cotton pants, and Jing Shu wore coral fleece pajamas outside.
Even wearing a one-piece suit, I still feel a little cold. I have been drinking Lingquan for almost half a year, but I am still not resistant to cold or heat. I should have brought a hand warmer earlier. Of course, compared to the -4 later, it is still a drizzle.
The people queuing around were also wearing dirty and tattered thick clothes, their hair was a mess, and you could see lumps of dirt and sweat stuck to their hair, in patches.
According to Jingshu's experience, she hadn't washed her hair for at least half a year. In her previous life, she might as well have shaved it all off, otherwise she would have had a nest of lice.
Each of them holds a bowl in one hand and a stick in the other, just like the Beggars' Gang, but one can still see hope in their eyes. Unlike the numbness and indifference ten years later, everyone fantasizes about solving the energy problem after the artificial sun comes out.
We quickly passed security and found that the former parking lot of the supermarket had been converted into a temporary stationing area for armed police.
At this time, the national anthem was slowly sounding, and a team of flag-raisers in military uniforms began to raise the national flag in neat steps. Everyone stopped unconsciously and saluted.
Under the dim lights in the dark night, Jingshu looked at the slowly rising national flag, and a sense of pride arose in her heart. No matter what, in the last ten years of the apocalypse, only China had the most and best people alive; there were many bad people, but there were also many people who dedicated themselves to the country.
If I were to describe it in one sentence, it would be that I have no regrets about coming to China.
"...there was no sunshine but we still raised the flag every Monday and distributed free food every other morning until the artificial sun was completed.
The country will not watch everyone starve to death. Everything will be fine! We will severely punish criminals. Those who have been recorded as robbers and murderers will not be given food. Please think carefully before doing anything..." The loudspeaker played repeatedly.
This was China's gentle policy in the early days of the end of the world. It hoped to reduce robberies and murders through this method, but it failed in the end. After all, no one would cherish free things.
Jingshu knew that the free food distribution would soon change again. Want food? Fine, then work, or trade for something.
All the stuff in the former big supermarket was emptied out and divided into two parts, one of which was the territorial waters.
One part is that ten cash registers were converted into meal windows, and everyone had to queue in an S-curve. Each person was given a large spoonful of rice and left. Those who had bowls used them, and those who didn't had to carry the rice in their hands or clothes.
"What are you eating?" Jingnai took a curious look.
"Oyster mushrooms cooked with rice." Jingshu showed a palpitating expression on her face.
Looking at the bunch of unwashed oyster mushrooms and rice mixed together to cook into black and green rice, the musty smell filled the whole supermarket and made her feel sick. She had eaten it for ten years in her previous life and was really sick of it.
Someone was swallowing food in big mouthfuls in the corner, probably because he was extremely hungry.
Some people ate two bites and then threw the food away. Jing Shu sneered at those who wasted food: "Today's meal is considered good. In a while, you will be eating maggots and not even have rice. Let's see if you will regret it."
