Chapter 131 The Distress of Poverty
When the leaders of the R City base heard that the support team from headquarters was coming, they immediately rushed over to greet them. They were all middle-aged people, and they were all very easy-going and polite.
Everyone was wearing thick coats patched from rags, and the atmosphere of the entire base was filled with poverty and embarrassment.
The people in the assault team couldn't help but ask, "There are mutant plants and so many mutant animals outside your base. How come life is still like this?"
Can’t they all be eaten?
Qin Luo and the others immediately looked at the assault team as if they were fools. The ratio of people with special abilities to ordinary people was visible to the naked eye. At present, ordinary people still accounted for the majority of the people in the country. If ordinary people wanted to evolve into people with special abilities, the conservatives were worried about the problem of gene tampering. The second reason was that they had not yet developed a stable transformation potion, so people with special abilities were still very scarce.
And how many people with special abilities are there who can fight against mutated plants and animals?
The reason why the R City base can live like this is obviously because of insufficient resources, a lack of psychics, and a lack of psychics with strong abilities. In addition, there are too many ordinary people, and supplies are in short supply, so life is so tight.
It's a truth that you can understand even if you think about it with your knees.
The assault squad is just a bunch of idiots.
Feeling 3A's look of looking at them as fools, the entire assault team was startled and instantly became obedient, one by one they began to move to the back, trying to reduce their presence.
As expected, the leaders smiled awkwardly and followed them to explain the reasons.
It was pretty much the same as what Qin Luo and the others had guessed.
"Although there are many mutant plants here, there are very few that are edible for ordinary people. The number of psychic teams we can send out is also limited, and supplies are really scarce."
Moreover, they don't know which mutant plants are edible, because there are too many mutant plants that are similar but inedible, which have caused food poisoning to some people before, so these leaders are even more hesitant.
Don't dare to act recklessly.
"Normally there are always mutant plants growing wildly in the base, and we have to fight mutant insects. Occasionally there are mutant animals attacking the walls. We are really short of manpower."
"Due to the climate, ordinary people at the base are more likely to get sick. Once they get sick, a large number of them fall ill, and our staff have to be busy taking care of them."
So it's amazing that they have been able to survive until now despite all the pressure from various aspects.
This is only possible with the occasional support from other bases.
"Our warehouse is running out of supplies. I never expected you to arrive in time. I can't express my gratitude enough. You saved everyone in our base!"
All of these leaders nodded, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the support supplies arrive.
The combat teams were also filled with emotion and followed their leaders around the base again.
The R City base is not small, but because mutant plants appear from time to time in the base, the roads are severely damaged. However, they are quite smart and let the plant-based psychics build many cableways with vines.
Cable cars are used directly as a means of transportation. The largest cable car can accommodate twenty to thirty people.
The leaders accompanied their combat team to visit the base and introduced it to them.
"This is the nursery, and this is the school. According to the headquarters, we haven't abandoned the education of children. Children are the future of mankind."
"The nursing home is right next to the orphanage. The children are now being taken care of by the elderly, while the other young and middle-aged people are volunteering."
Qin Luo and his friends looked around and found that although the R City base was very poor and in a very difficult situation, everyone was in good spirits. They also seemed to be very familiar with the leaders and called them Mayor Zhao, Secretary Li, etc.
The fact that these leaders are personally involved in rebuilding their homes shows that the atmosphere in R City is very good.
"We have another batch of support materials in the hands of the other two teams. They will arrive in the next few days. You can share them with everyone then."
Qin Luo said so.
He looked at the clothes that the people in the R City base were wearing. All of them had patches on them. They were basically thick clothes made by stacking various thin clothes on top of each other.
The ones on children are thicker, while those on adults are thinner.
Many people's fingers were swollen and red due to the cold.
You can tell it’s cold.
The leaders of City R expressed their gratitude repeatedly and invited them to sit in the reception room.
A meal was arranged for them.
It looked like the reception banquet was cobbled together, and there was also the familiar mutant bird.
The mutant bird was roasted, and it smelled really good, with a lot of barbecue ingredients sprinkled on it. The mutant bird eggs were roasted directly, cut, and placed on a plate, sprinkled with soy sauce and minced garlic.
The mayor's secretary was very happy and said with a smile: "There was a thunderstorm last night. When our team of superpowers went out to look for supplies, we picked up a lot of bird eggs. You can try them. These mutant bird eggs are quite fragrant. You're welcome."
The leaders kept asking their combat teams to eat quickly, but they hardly moved their chopsticks.
The sisters in the Rose Team had slightly red eyes. Who could not be moved by such a good leader who truly cares about the people?
The members of the assault team felt like they had something stuck in their throats and were reluctant to pick up their chopsticks.
I don’t know what I’m thinking.
The Flame Team, the Cheetah Team, and the Dove Team just nodded, and no one touched the food.
These foods are too precious in R City.
Wang Weihu chatted with the leaders and said that he would just eat whatever he wanted. "We are subsidized by the headquarters for our missions outside, and we also have free nutrient solution. We are not short of food. You should eat more so that you have the strength to do your work."
Qin Luo also nodded and said: "We just came to take a look at the situation and deliver supplies. After we get the supplies and understand the situation, we still have other tasks."
He said he couldn't stay long.
We also have to search for several combat teams that have lost contact. The longer we take, the more dangerous it will be.
Xuanyunduo was sitting next to Qin Luo. He saw a few children at the door drooling at the food and hiding there, too embarrassed to come in.
She tilted her head and thought for a while, then waved at them. Although the children were thin, they were very energetic and not afraid of strangers, so they really trotted over to them.
Xuanyunduo could smell the smell of milk on them. They were all children around three or four years old.
She stuffed a bunch of milk tablets and a small amount of sugar into their pockets.
The children stared with their eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief. There were actually milk tablets and candies? ?
Xuanyunduo turned around for them, patted them on the back, and signaled that the kids could go. She stuffed some snacks into the children's mouth with an expressionless face.
The children were so happy that they felt dizzy and did not forget to say "thank you, sister" when they left.
Shishi nodded handsomely.
They didn't stay in the R City base for too long, just one morning. Before leaving, everyone spontaneously left some supplies behind as a token of their team's appreciation.
no way.
Who can remain unmoved after watching this scene? How hard-hearted that is.
Xuanyunduo also saved all the bird eggs and mutant animal meat collected on the road for the R City base.
They can continue to collect food, but for the R City base, these are food rations for a group of people for several days, which can help them get through this difficult time.
The members of the assault team walked a long way out of the base before they began to be reluctant to part with the supplies. They cursed in low voices, "Why did you give it away in such a rush?!"
Good and evil are just a thought away.
When the others heard this, they couldn't help but laugh, thinking that they had done a good thing.
