Chapter 30 Paying the public grain



The seventeenth day of the apocalypse.

Lin Yi took a nap and woke up slowly.

After his superpowers awakened, he felt particularly prone to hunger!

He shook his head with a wry smile; his stomach had already been growling with hunger.

So he quickly got up and went to eat.

I lay in bed and watched some videos to get information from the outside world.

After browsing for two hours, he didn't see any useful information.

But just as he was about to take a break, his fingers slid instinctively and the next video caught his attention.

The video was released in Haicheng, which is only 300 kilometers away from Jinghai.

The video captured a scene of the sky. It looked ordinary at first glance, but when he looked closely, he found that there seemed to be something slowly floating in the sky.

This thing is almost transparent, and it would be impossible to see if it weren't for some tiny sparkles in it.

These bright spots are connected together like silk threads, as if they were strung together with a thread.

They swayed in the air with the strong wind.

Lin Yi thought back to his previous life.

In his previous life, there was a piece of news that caused a sensation, but he had been working hard for the survival of his family and had no time to think about these things.

Now that I think about it, this snowstorm is not necessarily groundless. It is very likely related to these substances floating in the sky.

However, the video doesn’t say anything, and there are all kinds of opinions in the comments section, which cannot be verified.

Lin Yi saved the video and lay down to rest.

No words were spoken that night.

The eighteenth day of the apocalypse.

There are still four days until the power outage.

At this time, families who usually don't like to stockpile food have basically run out of food.

The community group is full of people offering high prices to buy food.

But it is impossible for these people to buy food.

Just then, the group owner sent a message in the group.

@Everyone: Dear owners of Sunshine Garden Community, I'm Director Li from our neighborhood office. I've received instructions from higher-ups that this heavy snowfall is unlikely to end anytime soon. To ensure everyone can weather this difficult time, we've been asked to store all supplies together for unified management and distribution. Everyone, please come to Building No. 1 to pay your taxes.

At this time, those who had previously shouted in the group that they wanted to buy supplies at high prices quickly echoed their opinions.

"Yes, everyone, listen to Director Li. We must trust the country."

"Everyone please respond to the call actively. I will be the first to support it."

"You're right. If we all unite as one, we will definitely be able to overcome this difficult time!"

What these people say is more beautiful than the other.

Those who didn't speak basically had food stored at home.

Just then, dissenting voices emerged in the group.

"Shut up, all of you! You guys don't have any food at home, so why are you still making such a fuss here?"

"Exactly. It seems like you guys are just waiting to get what's ready."

"How shameless! How are we going to survive if we hand over our food?"

"Humph! I won't hand it over. Whoever wants to hand it over can do so!"

"What do you mean? Your current actions are destroying the internal unity of our country!"

"Fuck, stop putting accusations on me. Who do you think you are?"

"How can you be so selfish? How could this country produce such selfish people like you!"

"Kid, which building are you from?"

"I'm from Room 502, Building 6. How dare you hit me?"

The quarrel between the two parties became more and more intense, and it seemed that it was about to escalate to the point of a fight.

At this time, the group leader said again: "Stop arguing! Paying public grain is the national policy. It's fine if you guys don't participate, but now you are trying to sabotage it. What are your intentions?"

After these words were spoken, both sides stopped talking.

After all, Director Li is indeed the director of the street office.

It’s okay for them to argue with ordinary people, but they don’t dare to argue with officials.

"The only way we can get through this difficult time is to unite. Is there anyone who can set an example and take the lead in paying our dues?"

But after the words were spoken, no one spoke for more than ten minutes.

Director Li said again: "You guys really disappoint me!"

But at this moment, Liu Rumeng posted a video in the group.

Lin Yi couldn't help but be stunned. Isn't this the video footage of him and Liu Rumeng last time?

In the video, Lin Yi is in front of a large table of food.

Seeing this, Lin Yi knew what she was going to do, and his face instantly darkened.

"This is what I saved from the video call with Lin Yi the day before yesterday. Their family has a lot of supplies. Isn't Lin Yi a hero? At a time like this, shouldn't he set an example for everyone?"

After sending this message, Liu Rumeng showed a devilish smile and muttered to herself, "Lin Yi, let's see what you can do this time! What I can't get, you can't get it either!"

Everyone in the group was immediately shocked by the content of the video.

"That's right! Lin Yi is a hero. At this time, the hero must set an example first."

"That's right. If Lin Yi can take the initiative to pay the public grain, I believe most people will do so."

"Lin Yi, come out quickly, now is the time for you to show your attitude."

Those who had previously encouraged others to pay public grain now unanimously launched an attack on Lin Yi.

Seeing this, Lin Yi sneered.

These people are so shameless!

I don't contribute anything, but I still act like a good guy in the group.

They really gained both money and reputation.

But Lin Yi will not let them succeed.

Paying public grain? How is that possible!

And these things happened in the previous life, but what was the result?

Director Li took all the food for himself, but was eventually hacked to death by someone who broke into his home and was extremely hungry.

Then, Lin Yi edited a string of text in the group.

"Paying the public grain tax is of course our duty, but shouldn't there be a standard? Shouldn't every household pay the same amount to be fair?"

As soon as these words were spoken, those who had extra food at home jumped out.

"That's right, since we have to pay public taxes, then everyone should pay together. Why should some people not pay?"

"Support, support! Why should we hand over all the food while others reap the benefits? This isn't fair! Since we have to hand it over, let's all do it together!"

"This is a good idea. Let's all submit it together!"

Seeing so many people supporting Lin Yi, Liu Rumeng stomped her feet in anger.
