Chapter 71 Distribution of Supplies
After everyone discussed this, they waited for about ten minutes, and suddenly bursts of propeller sounds were heard from the sky.
Everyone knew that the people delivering supplies had arrived.
Everyone stepped back consciously, leaving a large open space.
Soon someone on the helicopter threw a supply package onto the empty ground.
There are quite a lot of stuff, eight big boxes in total!
But there are more than a hundred people in the whole building, and after distributing these eight boxes of supplies, each person can only get very limited items.
After the final distribution, Han Ying got her share.
5 packs of compressed biscuits, 2 self-heating pots, 3 pieces of chocolate, 2 small bags of cookies, 2 bottles of 1.5-liter mineral water, 10 packs of self-heating bags, 1 bottle of canned meat, 1 bottle of canned oranges, 2 packs of pickled mustard tubers, 3 bags of instant noodles, and 10 84 effervescent tablets.
Basically, they are all edible!
In fact, the food is not too little. If you eat sparingly, it can last for several days.
But many people are not satisfied with such supplies.
This is no wonder. The tsunami had just passed and everyone had not suffered yet. They only knew whether the food tasted good or not, but they had no idea what it felt like to be hungry.
Lu Yuan had an extra self-heating pot, but no canned food.
The things imported by Wu Tingfang's family next door are similar.
Since self-heating bags are something that can be eaten, they are divided according to the number of people, with each person getting 10 bags, which can be used 10 times.
Lei Yuhang, who was only 5 years old, got an extra pack of instant noodles and a small pack of cookies, but his family only got one pack of 84 effervescent tablets.
After taking the supplies, many people left cursing.
It was the first time that supplies were being delivered, and everyone had never experienced hunger before, so even though they were somewhat dissatisfied, they would not covet the supplies in other people's hands for the time being.
More than 100 people were not a small number, and Han Ying and her group’s floor was not far away, so they didn’t want to squeeze with others, and they were the last to leave.
When leaving, Han Ying saw Feng Shaochen still waiting at the corner of the stairs, as if he wanted to say something to her.
Han Ying smiled very tactfully and put her arm around Lu Yuan's arm.
However, he still spoke when he passed by Feng Shaochen.
"I, I, Han Ying, can I talk to you alone?"
Feng Shaochen glanced at Lu Yuan before speaking to Han Ying.
"What do you want from my girlfriend? There are no secrets between us, just tell me right here!"
Lu Yuan naturally saw that Han Ying didn't want to go with this man, so he used his height advantage to look down at him.
"I'm sorry, my boyfriend is too domineering, and there are really no secrets between us!"
Han Ying felt that she had made herself very clear.
"Okay, I got it!"
After saying this, Feng Shaochen went downstairs directly.
Although they were classmates, Han Ying really had no feelings for Feng Shaochen.
She didn't want the other party to waste his time on her. After all, it was the end of the world, so it would be better for him to think more about himself.
After seeing Feng Shaochen leave, Han Ying immediately took her hand out of Lu Yuan's arm.
Then he was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a staircase out of the three-bedroom and one-living room, "Um, I'll go down first. Thank you for just now!"
After Han Ying finished speaking, she didn't even look at Lu Yuan's expression. She took Tangyuan's hand and quickly walked down the stairs back to her home.
Lu Yuan glanced at the arm that Han Ying had just held and slowly went downstairs.
After the official first drop of supplies, this matter was discussed on all major networks.
But most people are not grateful, but complaining about what the official releases.
Are you all complaining that taxpayers pay so much tax every year but in the end they only deserve to eat compressed biscuits and instant noodles?
Of course, there are also people who understand the situation. They speculate that the reason why the authorities distributed compressed biscuits and instant noodles is probably because the city is still submerged in sea water and there is no water or electricity.
Even if you were given meat and vegetables, most people wouldn’t be able to cook them, right?
Not only will there be a waste of food, but people may also be even more dissatisfied!
Can you cook meat and vegetables just by relying on those self-heating bags?
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that those self-heating bags are used to provide you with hot water to drink, after all, the temperature is now close to 0 degrees.
It would be really fatal if we had no heating and no hot water to drink in such weather.
Han Ying had to admit that these people could see the situation clearly.
The official reason for not distributing meat and vegetables is indeed because of that, but another reason is that these supplies were collected by the official and stored in freezers and made into dried vegetables.
After the end of the last life, 99% of the vegetables still sold outside were dried vegetables.
But more than 99% of vegetables will die when it’s extremely hot, so where do all these dried vegetables come from?
Wasn’t it that the authorities dried them out and released them before the end of the world?
While some people are complaining about the poor quality of supplies, many people have already realized that the situation is more serious!
After the tsunami, sea water flooded back, and now the entire land is connected to the sea!
Except for the water that flows down from the mountains, all the other water on land has indirectly become sea water.
Seawater cannot be drunk directly; it must be desalinated.
The cost of desalinating seawater is already high under normal circumstances, let alone now that all cities are submerged in seawater after the tsunami.
Now, people can't find drinkable water except mineral water.
The water in the community’s water room is not drinkable either, as it has long been assimilated by the waves brought by the tsunami.
When everyone realized this, they started to panic, looking at the only two bottles of mineral water they had just been given, at a loss as to what to do.
Some people are used to drinking mineral water or making tea with bottled water at home, and if they are not washed away by the tsunami, they will more or less have some mineral water at home.
But more people drink tap water in the community. They think drinking mineral water is a waste of money, so their families never buy it.
So most of these people will have to rely on the mineral water distributed by the government for drinking water during these days of power and water outages.
Of course, there are also some people who are quick-witted.
There were originally more than seventy households in the entire building!
Most of them have gone to resettlement sites, and only about half of the residents in a building are left.
Now there is no water or electricity, and the doors and windows of many houses have been damaged by the tsunami.
If someone is at home, it can be repaired. If not, you can move some furniture to block the door.
Although the water did not flood those households, those who followed the volunteers to the resettlement site suffered.
The door of their house was damaged and was leaning crookedly against the door frame. Anyone with a little effort could open it.
So some people set their sights on these households.
It’s just that social order has not yet become chaotic, and there are still free supplies to be collected.
Therefore, most of the people who can focus on this are those who used to be idle.
I thought I would wait until everyone was asleep, then sneak in to look for anything edible that hadn't been washed away by the waves.
It can at least help supplement the household expenses.
Anyway, if things are lost, they will definitely be washed away by the waves. What does it have to do with me?
