He Xiaobei himself has no shortage of these things, so it is difficult for him to notice how others solve them.

With the drought and acid rain, the people in the base can control these people with just water.

However, this water is only distributed free of charge to those who have work cards. If others want water, they need to pay supplies or points.

The points earned in the base are also useful outside, otherwise the points earned by scavengers will have nowhere to spend.

Survivors who cannot survive outside not only have water here, but also get enough food to fill their stomachs after work every day. This is considered very good treatment.

As for others, such as those outsiders who had just come here for refuge and were turned away.

If you have the ability, leave and join other bases, or wait until they have used up all their supplies and then compromise. Like these people, you will have no choice but to work hard for the base.

After these people received the water, they began to prepare for work. They took their tools and walked out of the gathering place one by one. At six o'clock in the morning, the place finally returned to silence.

He Xiaobei returned to the bedroom and continued to take a nap. After waking up, he searched for some earplugs in the space, otherwise it would be unpleasant to be woken up every morning.

During his time living here, He Xiaobei would go out for a stroll every day to see his fellow humans who were lively and energetic.

Some other information has also been learned these days, such as these people start work at 6 am every day and finish work at 6 pm, without lunch break, but are provided with one or three meals, a potato or a few pieces of brown bread.

There used to be a teacher running a school in the gathering place, and there were quite a lot of children going to school, because even now everyone knows the importance of knowledge.

Unfortunately, those teachers died or disappeared inexplicably later. It was obvious that the base did not allow them to teach here.

Because they also know the importance of knowledge.

They only need hard work, not time bombs with brains and ideas. Even if people here only want to learn simple knowledge, they don't have any long-term plans.

Not many people in the gathering place care about this. Everyone is busy surviving and can't even get enough to eat, so who cares whether you are educated or not.

However, the base doesn't mind them reproducing, and there's even maternity leave.

He Xiaobei clicked his tongue. The people in this base were really thinking long-term. If these people had no descendants, who would they enslave in the future?

The base has cut off their thoughts and planted the seeds of slavery in their brains, and they may become slaves of the base for generations to come.

The insidiousness and viciousness of the upper class always appear in a compassionate way, and they will make you jump into their sheepfold willingly.

After dinner, she would even go to the center of the gathering place to listen to people bragging. Where there are people, there is competition.

"The cattle I raised were exceptionally good, with shiny fur. The adults ate them and said the meat was excellent. The manager rewarded me with a cigarette."

"It's just a cigarette. The most I've ever been rewarded with by the manager for the ore I dug up is a pair of shoes."

"Hahaha, those shoes you wore two sizes too small and gave you blisters all over your feet?"

"What do you know? Shoes get bigger the more you wear them. Look, I'm wearing them just fine now."

As the man spoke, he lifted up his feet for these people to see. He Xiaobei also looked over and saw that his shoes were extremely dirty and had been deformed by the man's wearing.

These rich people are really good at enslaving others. They throw their unwanted garbage to these people and call it a reward.

But now that supplies are severely scarce, those who have experienced hardship understand their importance.

The slave nature in the body is developed to the fullest, and one will be grateful for any reward.

It's ridiculous that no one shouts for freedom like they did before the end of the world.

As night fell, He Xiaobei sat on the sofa, with the sleeping Lightning next to him, stroking the cat with one hand while watching a movie.

When the movie was over and she walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, she found a bunch of little kids squatting outside her yard, all craning their necks to look into her house.

Seeing her stand up, everyone dispersed. He Xiaobei watched them run away, then looked back at the screen that had been projected.

My goodness, she was watching a movie without closing the curtains, and as a result, these little brats squatted outside and watched with her.

It started to drizzle outside the window again. Since the temperature dropped, it has rained every now and then, but every time it is acid rain.
