Chapter 146: Full of Supplies
What caught my eye was a field as large as several football fields, filled with boxes of supplies.
Most were military green wooden crates, but this one was much larger than the ones they had seen outside.
The rest are sealed iron barrels made of green tinplate, including large round barrels and square barrels.
Military supplies packaged with this material are generally meat or fruit.
The entire space was filled with supply boxes. Except for a place at the door where people could stand, the space inside was almost completely filled with supplies.
There is absolutely no more room for people to step.
Everyone present stared at the huge harvest in amazement. Zhou Zhenghao couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the supplies.
"If we can bring these supplies back to the base, how many people can we feed?"
But as soon as he said it, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. The biggest contributor to the acquisition of these supplies was undoubtedly Liu Yu and his team.
What's worse, Liu Yu and Zhuang Moxing almost lost their lives for this operation, so these supplies should belong to them no matter what.
How dare I say that I should bring the supplies back to the base!
Isn’t this blatant moral kidnapping?
When he said this, the soldiers around him were surprised. But they quickly came to their senses and their surprised expressions disappeared in an instant. They all glanced at Liu Yu's back in shame.
Xu Shuyao even stepped on Zhou Zhenghao's foot. As her cousin, she was really in a difficult situation!
Zhou Zhenghao didn't dare cry out in pain. He bit his tongue hard to punish himself for talking nonsense, and quickly apologized, "Miss Liu, I'm sorry! That's not what I meant. These supplies can be found, and in fact, they have nothing to do with the military. You, you can take them all!"
Zhou Zhenghao pursed his lips tightly, feeling so guilty that he didn't dare to look directly into Liu Yu's eyes.
Liu Yu glanced at him and did not answer directly. Instead, he took out a knife from the space and went forward to check the supply categories himself.
Open each box of packaged supplies and check them.
When the big wooden box is opened, there are eight cartons inside, and when they are opened again, there are plastic-sealed compressed biscuits.
The packaging was not like the tinplate box packaging of today, it was more simple, but Liu Yu opened a bag and took a bite. It had a firm texture, no peculiar smell, and a biscuit aroma, and was edible.
Then she opened a few boxes of tinplate square barrels, and inside they were indeed large chunks of cooked beef and pork.
The outer packaging of the tinplate barrel does not clearly indicate the flavor, but the design of the opening is different, and anyone who has opened it once can quickly distinguish them.
Then Liu Yu found another batch of wooden boxes in the corner, which were full of small military green tinplate canned fruits.
Each one was still edible, and the taste wasn't particularly good, but it was a unique delicacy in the apocalypse, and quite filling.
It seems that this batch of supplies is well stocked, from staple foods to combinations of meat and vegetables.
She did not waste the things she opened. Everyone was tired and hungry after coming so deep into the place.
Now that it's open, let a few growing little soldiers fill their rumbling stomachs. These half-grown kids can already eat me out of money, and as soldiers who are dedicated to serving the country, I cannot let them starve.
Liu Yu's careful inspection left Zhou Zhenghao, who had said the wrong thing, hanging for a long time, standing there at a loss, feeling melancholy.
Liu Yu stood up after checking all the supplies, glanced at Zhou Zhenghao who was fidgeting and laughed.
Then he called Xu Yang, Xia Huai and others over.
A brief team meeting was held for the first time. Since they had already acknowledged that they were a team, Liu Yu would not do things alone.
Only a team that can consult with each other can trust each other and go a long way.
Listening to Liu's ideas, Zhuang Moxing couldn't help but look at her serious face, with admiration in his eyes.
On the contrary, it was Xu Shuyao. After a heated discussion among several people, her expression of "you got such a good deal" shot through the gap to Zhou Zhenghao.
Then the people in the corner dispersed and walked up to Zhou Zhenghao. Liu Yu said with a faint smile, "Our team paid a heavy price in this supply search."
The anxious Zhou Zhenghao finally waited for Liu Yu's reply. He was so excited that he didn't wait for her to finish and responded hastily with apologetic words:
"Don't worry! Our military will never claim any credit for your achievements!"
He awkwardly gripped the gun in his hand, his other index finger, which had nowhere to rest, almost knotted with nervousness. He added stutteringly, "I, we are not that kind of organization, don't worry..."
Liu Yu was snatched away from him mid-sentence. She shook her head helplessly: "I don't mean to blame you. What I want to say is that we can't refuse the supplies this time."
Zhou Zhenghao thought that the military might not be able to hold out for a month due to the shortage of supplies, and nodded bitterly: "That's as it should be."
But Liu Yu quickly changed the subject, looking at him seriously as she explained, "There are many ordinary people in the base who don't have special abilities but possess real skills. They survive on the daily meals provided by the military. I can only take half of the supplies this time, and give the rest to the military."
"But I hope you can use these supplies to hire capable people, arrange suitable positions for them, and give them a chance to survive."
Liu Yu had already prepared a lot of supplies in the space, and with the ones collected along the way after the end of the world, it would not be a problem to feed these people until they were old.
What's more, she still has black soil to grow food, so there is really no need to compete with the people of S City for all the food.
But she felt it was not worth it for the military to continue distributing the food indiscriminately to the survivors.
Before the end of the world, no one picked up food for nothing.
What's more, in the post-apocalyptic era, food is extremely precious.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Food must be given to survivors who have made contributions or labor.
Those useless people who lie around every day, complain about everything and wait for relief food to reach their mouths can be left to starve to death so that they don't become a burden to society.
But she didn't take any of it. She was not a saint and she had more plans for this supply.
However, this plan is still in its infancy and has not yet taken shape.
