When Su Keke and Grandma Qiao went to sign in with the staff, there were indeed no supplies left, and the two of them only received one pound of potatoes.
After registering, Su Keke planned to come back and get it when she went back home in the evening.
Su Keke didn't care. They definitely didn't come here to get supplies.
The two men took shovels and joined the team shoveling snow on the roadside.
The area in the middle of the road where the snow had just been cleared was a bluish-brown color. Su Keke and Grandma Qiao followed the large group on both sides of the road to clear the heavy snow.
As the shovel was used to dig into the ground, a crisp sound of "clicking" was heard. Once, twice, three times, Su Keke kept repeating the action of shoveling snow like a machine.
At first she felt a little cold, but as she exercised more, the heat pack on her back began to work, and Su Keke was so hot that she wanted to take off her down jacket.
At noon, everyone received a bucket of instant noodles soaked in hot water.
Everyone is happy to have a bite of hot food in the middle of winter.
The people on the 20th floor found a street-side shop nearby. It looked like it used to be a training class, and it had desks, chairs, and blackboards.
They can get sunshine here, and there is glass to block the wind. They are so happy eating instant noodles here!
Lu Mei was still feeling dissatisfied on behalf of Su Keke and Grandma Qiao, wondering why they were only given one pound of potatoes, which was too little.
"Aunt Lu! Don't we have hot instant noodles? You can't eat them if you stay at home!"
Su Keke held the still steaming instant noodles and smiled sweetly at Lu Mei.
"You kid, you seem to be enjoying yourself when you suffer a loss!"
Lu Mei gave Su Keke a look of disappointment, then raised her instant noodles, took a sip of the soup, and her stomach instantly felt much warmer.
There is an hour's break at noon. After eating instant noodles, Su Keke and the others sat inside to bask in the sun.
The wind outside was still blowing wildly, and the ground in the middle of the road that had just been cleared was now covered with a layer of fallen leaves.
In the afternoon, Su Keke and his team were assigned to shovel snow on another road.
There were no tall buildings blocking the way, so the cold wind blew even more fiercely.
Many people have been freezing so hard that they have started cursing, but there is no other way. If they want supplies, they have to work hard.
The government now has new regulations. From now on, free relief food will only be distributed once a month. The rest of the time, everyone will be organized to work, and only those who participate in the work can receive some additional supplies.
Therefore, after this new regulation comes out, if you don’t go out to work, you will just starve at home.
Mayor Chen Guodong had no choice but to cut costs in the face of natural disasters and the end of the world, since he couldn't increase the source of income.
The government's food reserves are dwindling day by day. Now we must mobilize all citizens and work together to survive this natural disaster.
The more difficult the conditions are, the more rampant the evil of human nature becomes.
Unknown to Chen Guodong, two gangs were planning to make a big move.
They are not like ordinary citizens who will only come out to rob when they are hungry.
The Shark Gang, which had been making a living by robbing fishermen, lost their source of livelihood after the natural disaster.
During this period, because of the extreme cold and heavy snow that blocked the roads, the two hundred or so people in the gang ate and drank together, and the supplies they had looted previously quickly ran out.
As the leader of the Shark Gang, Chen Lian has been very worried these days.
Several of my men have already suggested that we go into the city and do something big.
Various natural disasters occurred one after another. The fishermen in the nearby waters could not go out to sea, and the supplies in their homes were mostly looted by the shark gang.
In order to prevent the brothers in the gang from starving, going to the urban area to get supplies is indeed the best way at the moment.
But the urban area is not so easy to take over.
There are not only government patrols there, but also Tian Ge.
Brother Tian is the leader of the forces in Lingcheng city. He is radical and fierce.
And there is a man named Brother Tian who must avenge his grudges on the same day.
Anyone who provokes him will probably not see the sun tomorrow.
Moreover, he had many subordinates, and the mere two hundred of his own were not enough to defeat them.
Therefore, Chen Lian has been thinking about going to the city to do something big. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he does not want to go against Brother Tian.
During the ten years when the old gang leader was in power, he and Brother Tian each carved out an area and never interfered with each other's business.
If he takes the initiative to go to Brother Tian's territory to grab food now, if he succeeds, he will be the only boss of Lingcheng in the future.
If we fail, all two hundred lives in the gang will be lost.
And the probability of failure is very high, Chen Lian has been hesitating.
At this time, Brother Hai had secretly gathered a group of people who disliked Chen Lian.
The snow has finally stopped, and now is a good time to go out and grab supplies.
…
Brother Tian, whom everyone mentions, lives in the Gold Coast in the city.
Before the natural disaster, this place was a KTV. On the surface, it was a place for guests to eat, sing, and have fun, but secretly it sheltered prostitutes and provided ecstasy to guests.
Brother Tian rented a floor above the KTV for himself, which has a sauna room, mahjong room, billiard room, bar and Northeastern Chinese restaurant.
It is said that Brother Tian is particularly fond of Northeastern cuisine, so he opened a restaurant where he lives.
In short, before the natural disaster, Brother Tian lived like a local emperor, extravagantly.
After the natural disaster, many of his business locations were flooded.
No matter how much money you have at this time, it is useless because there is no place to buy food and daily necessities.
When has Brother Tian ever suffered a loss? If he can't buy food, he will go out and rob. How can a living person let himself be suffocated to death by that thing?
So there were the previous incidents of stealing rubber boats and stealing relief food from citizens.
Anyway, they will come out to plunder every now and then. Whether they can have a good life during a natural disaster depends on how much supplies the residents here have stockpiled.
In the past, they specifically targeted the wealthy people who lived in villas. Now, after several months of natural disasters, no matter how much supplies those wealthy people had stockpiled, they were gradually plundered by Brother Tian and his men.
So, from now on, Brother Tian has set his sights on ordinary citizens.
It just so happens that the snow stopped today, and the municipal office organized everyone to shovel snow and distribute supplies. Isn't this a good time for them to come out and grab supplies?
As luck would have it, these two groups targeted ordinary citizens of Lingcheng on the first day after the heavy snow stopped.
And those ordinary citizens who are completely unaware of the situation are now happily heading home with the cold-resistant supplies and dinner distributed by the municipal office.
Everyone received two big steamed buns for dinner today, and Chen Li and Meng Yi couldn't wait to eat them on the way.
"Hmm! I never thought that one day I would find vegetable buns so delicious!"
"Don't you guys want to? Eat something first to fill your stomach. If the dumplings get cold, they won't taste as good!"
The two people were talking while eating. The cold air in their mouths mixed with the heat from the buns made their faces blurry.
Su Keke was carrying the small bag of potatoes and vegetable buns, chatting and laughing with the people on the 20th floor along the way. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of the community.
At this moment, no one would have thought that a bloody storm would be waiting for them at night.
