In the past, Feng Chenlu would go upstairs to notify them. Now that he couldn't see her, Jiang Fei was a little worried about the dedicated girl: "Where's Feng Chenlu?"
"There are so many people downstairs grabbing supplies, it's a mess, Sister Chenlu and the officials are in control."
"Please tell the others to pick up the supplies. I still have to go help Sister Chenlu."
Without waiting for Jiang Fei to speak, Xiao Jia hurried downstairs without any curiosity about the 21st floor.
Obviously Feng Chenlu reminded Xiao Jia.
Lu Yu and others came from 2101.
Xiao Chuxia asked in confusion: "There has been no official movement for a month, why are they suddenly saying that supplies are being distributed?"
"Not sure. Everyone take your weapons and go downstairs. It's a good opportunity to get some fresh air."
The teammates went home to get weapons, and Jiang Fei went to inform them.
It was Old Mrs. Xu who opened the door.
Jiang Fei told her about the supplies: "It's colder downstairs than upstairs. Grandma Xu, please stay at home and let Captain Xu go down to get them."
"Qian Yao went to the police station last night."
At this time, Xu Qianyao still ventured out. Could it be that Director Ning was going to take action?
Maybe it has something to do with the distribution of supplies that day.
Jiang Fei suppressed his guess and said, "Then I'll get it for you."
"Thank you, girl Jiang."
Old Mrs. Xu took out her ID card and stuffed a bag of 10 peach cakes into Jiang Fei's hand.
"Qian Yao brought a lot of peach cakes. I can't finish them all by myself. You can share them with your friends."
Knowing Mrs. Xu's character, Jiang Fei did not refuse and distributed it to Lu Yu and others who came downstairs.
After eating, Jiang Fei changed into a warm suit and went downstairs with them.
There are heaters on the 21st and 22nd floors, which are turned on all day and I don't feel how cold it is.
But there was no heating downstairs, and as soon as they reached the 20th floor, Jiang Fei and others felt the biting cold air blowing in their faces.
The coal distributed by the government was used up very early, and the survivors could only burn cotton door curtains and use a few pieces of wood to make a fire.
But in just one month, it was all used up.
Frozen bodies can be seen everywhere.
Some people were sitting in the corridor, maintaining the posture of drilling wood before death.
Someone stood in front of the only window that was not sealed, raised his tattered cotton coat, and tried to use his remaining life to block the cold wind for others.
Most of them die at home, in their sleep.
When Jiang Fei came down late at night, there were not many people on the third floor.
I unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.
Jiang Zhengkang, wrapped in a cotton coat and quilt, was holding a box of supplies. His hands were vaguely visible, covered with purple-red frostbite, and he was so thin that his bones were just skin and bones.
"Fei Fei, the government has distributed a lot of supplies. If you don't have enough, you can come to 2001 to find me. I've moved there."
Jiang Zhengkang's tone was cheerful, not as dull as before.
Only now did he realize that life could be so wonderful after losing Yanping.
Although he didn't have enough cotton clothes and food, he could still survive by using them frugally and picking up corpses and supplies.
Jiang Zhengkang frowned as if he remembered something, and whispered to Jiang Fei: "I just saw Zhuzi bringing two girls down to get supplies. They are Yu Xuanjiao and Huang Xiaoyuan."
"Yu Xuanjiao and Zhuzi seem very close, walking hand in hand together."
Jiang Fei was a little surprised.
Yu Xuanjiao actually clung to Zhuzi's thigh?
Jiang Fei didn't have any feelings towards Zhuzi, the tool man.
She and Zhuzi just have a trading relationship.
If you go upstairs to cause trouble, then solve it.
Jiang Fei didn't want the supplies, so Jiang Zhengkang went upstairs carrying the box.
Taking out his ID card, Jiang Fei went with his teammates to collect supplies.
Feng Chenlu was sitting on a chair, panting with exhaustion. Seeing Jiang Fei coming over, she stood up and said, "We don't need ID cards anymore. We'll send people by the number of people."
"Those boxes are from the 21st and 22nd floors. I hid them for you in advance, otherwise they would have been snatched away."
"Thank you." Jiang Fei walked over and picked up a box.
The box was not sealed. Inside was a large bag of official brand meat patties, a large bag of charcoal, 5 bottles of frozen water, plus a bunch of biscuits, bread, hawthorn slices and other small bags of food.
"How many days will the government be distributing supplies this time?"
Feng Chenlu said she didn't know: "The government didn't tell us, they just let us each get one box and then go home."
"But schistosomiasis and influenza are under control, so that's a good thing."
After saying that, Feng Chenlu and Xiao Jia packed up their things and prepared to go home.
Jiang Fei and other five people were carrying boxes upstairs, and occasionally they could hear someone complaining.
"Pah! What kind of meat is this pancake made of? It tastes so disgusting."
"It doesn't taste salty at all, how can I eat it?"
"Don't be picky, just having something to eat is good enough."
Su Liuyuan, who had tasted meat pie before, curiously took a piece from the box, took a bite, and had a subtle expression on his face.
"Why do I feel like... the texture of the meat pie isn't right?"
Xiao Chuxia said calmly: "Made with the corpses of mice and insects."
Su Liuyuan: “…”
He felt like vomiting.
Lu Yu avoided the retching Su Liuyuan with disdain and said to Jiang Fei: "It's strange that the government distributed supplies today. There was no control over the quantity, and the community members were allowed to leave after distributing them. It seems like they are going to do something big."
"When Xu Qianyao arrives, everything will be clear."
Jiang Fei delivered the supplies that belonged to Old Lady Xu, and then went home to put away the boxes.
She had so much food, there was no need to gnaw on the official brand meat pie.
That night.
Xu Qianyao came to the 22nd floor to find Jiang Fei, with some white frost still on his eyelashes from not having had time to wipe it off.
"This is an ID card that allows you to go to a safe place. I promise to give you four in total. You can give them to your friends. Cardholders can bring one family member with them."
"Remember to remind them to keep their ID cards safe. When the authorities transfer the survivors, they will only recognize the cards, not the people."
At this point, Xu Qianyao became serious: "Whatever you hear recently, don't go out to watch the excitement. You can go to the safe place for official screening."
Jiang Fei instantly thought of what happened the day before: "Use supplies to conduct tests?"
"That's right. If you can't keep the food, it means you don't have the ability. Such people can't keep up with the team and can only stay in Lincheng."
Survival of the fittest.
Although it is cruel, it is the fastest way to screen out survivors.
Those who have quotas or are special talents have been notified by the authorities and are prohibited from going out. They have even sent people to provide protection.
Jiang Fei understood: "Do you need me to help you take care of Grandma Xu?"
"No, I will stay at home for the time being. Director Ning said that we need to make the outside world completely chaotic. I will leave first."
After Xu Qianyao left, Jiang Fei looked at the ID card in his hand.
It is the size of an ID card, with a pure black card body and a magnetic stripe for scanning.
A small note determines a person's destiny.
She was thankful that she and her friends were eligible to go to a safe place.
Jiang Fei gave the ID cards to Lu Yu and others.
There were only 4 tickets, and Su Liuyuan was not included, so Ling Zhaorui gave him the spot for his family member.
Su Liuyuan was touched: "You treat me better than Lu Yu does. You are my true brother."
Ling Zhaorui told the truth: "My relatives are all dead, no one will give it to me, it would be a waste if I don't give it to you."
"Hurry up and modify the weapon. Sister Jiang is still waiting for the inspection."
Su Liuyuan: “…”
It was a waste of his tears.
—
Since the official distribution of supplies, they have not appeared for a week and no patrolling soldiers can be found outside.
Some survivors believed that the authorities abandoned Lincheng and fled.
The news spread from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, and everyone became restless.
If the authorities are no longer in charge, who will take care of them?
No one wants to die.
As a result, the survivors in the city, regardless of the cold weather, began to kill and loot supplies wantonly.
It’s cold? Then steal someone else’s cotton-padded jacket to keep warm.
If there is not enough food, there is food elsewhere!
In just one week, Lincheng was in chaos.
Rumors about the coming of the end of the world also spread, making those who were snatching supplies even more unscrupulous, thinking that this was a chance given by God to make a name for themselves.
Those people with extreme and radical ideas captured other survivors and offered sacrifices to them, hoping to pray for an end to the disaster in this way.
Some people could not bear the pressure and even collapsed and committed suicide.
Jiang Fei could hear crying and shouting outside almost every day.
The frozen city is no longer silent, but at the cost of blood and lives.
Rustle, rustle—Jiang Fei’s intercom suddenly rang.
It’s Su Liuyuan.
"Jiang Fei, that crying uncle is looking for you and says he has something important to do."
Jiang Fei:?
