The order has been issued and is effective immediately.
However, it is impossible to complete universal vaccination in a short period of time.
Even with the devastation of the apocalypse, China already has a large population base.
There are still 30 million survivors and an army of 100,000.
Considering the production capacity of the enhanced drug, the announced plan is to be completed within six months.
And this plan was not based on age as everyone imagined.
That is, the younger children are vaccinated first, and the older children are vaccinated later.
Instead, an extremely fair lottery is used to determine the order of play.
Survivors who are drawn in the later rounds may be over 55 years old at the time of vaccination.
Qiu Xingzhou was generous and stated that the quota was still valid.
Where there is joy, there is also sorrow.
Having survived two periods of extreme cold and one period of extreme heat, the majority of those who survived were young people.
The proportion of survivors over 55 years old is not high, but their numbers are considerable.
The total number of people affected across the country is over 200,000.
Those who had just turned 56 the day before the order was issued were absolutely furious.
They're all complaining that they can't add two more years and extend the age limit to over 60?
After all, older people are less likely to die and more likely to want to become young again.
Moreover, as ordinary survivors, they are over 55 years old and therefore ineligible for the enhancement drug.
But those in high positions are not subject to this restriction; for example, Yang Hongchang, the commander of the provincial military district, is exactly 56.
He naturally also had a spot to receive the booster injection.
Deep down, everyone can understand the idea of setting age restrictions.
Setting a lower age of 16 is to allow the body to fully develop and avoid damage to the body from premature vaccination.
Setting an upper age limit of 55 is to ensure that the drug is used to its fullest potential.
To put it bluntly and realistically...
In this day and age, older survivors are not as valuable as younger survivors.
Moreover, those in high positions, even setting aside the issue of special privileges...
Their value is also higher than that of ordinary people of the same age.
Therefore, Qiu Xingzhou did not object to Liu Kai's proposed age range of 16 to 55.
But throughout history, the world has always been plagued not by scarcity but by inequality.
Some survivors, who were over 55 years old, thought it over carefully and ultimately had no choice but to accept this reality.
However, some people couldn't stand it. After some secret discussions, they gathered together to demand an explanation from the local authorities.
Even more magical things followed.
Young people are supposed to be eligible for vaccination.
As beneficiaries of the existing system, they shouldn't be so stubborn as to cause trouble.
It's unclear whether this was due to a misplaced sense of compassion or instigation by foreign forces.
However, some people under the age of 55 also jumped out.
Join the marches organized by people over 55 years old to put pressure on the authorities.
They demanded that the authorities treat everyone equally and administer the medication to all those over 55 years of age.
Qiu Xingzhou is such a cunning old fox.
Since he dared to issue the order, he must have considered all possible scenarios.
Such violent mass incidents have occurred countless times before.
He personally experienced many things during his time as mayor and governor.
They are experienced and have long had a complete set of solutions.
A poor choice.
Violent suppression can easily have adverse effects.
The middle strategy.
Compromise with the survivors, but set a bad precedent.
The best course of action.
Divide and conquer; a small price can be paid to completely quell the incident.
Qiu Xingzhou's solution for local shelters is a far superior and better approach:
Make an example of someone to warn others, and divide and conquer.
Because no evidence is needed at all.
Anyone with a brain knows that spies from certain countries would never let go of this opportunity to cause trouble.
While countries appear to be cooperating amicably on the surface, they are all secretly pursuing their own agendas.
Even China is no exception.
Therefore, the authorities acted swiftly.
They decisively arrested some spies and similar figures within these parade groups.
The most suspicious are those young people who, despite having a spot, still stir up trouble.
After the authorities publicly revealed the identities of these people.
In full view of everyone, they were escorted to the outside of the freezing cold shelter and executed by firing squad with bullets to the head.
Gunshots rang out across the sky.
The bloody scene deeply shocked all those participating in the march.
For a time, many people began to have second thoughts.
After all, what is a power-up potion compared to life?
If this continues...
Who knows, I might be the next one to be arrested and have my head blown off.
After the deterrent effect of making an example of someone, the next step is to use both kindness and severity, and to divide and conquer.
Deal with the remaining survivors over 55 who genuinely want the body-enhancing drugs.
It couldn't be easier.
After dispersing the terrified marchers, shelter staff immediately went door-to-door to have heart-to-heart talks with each person.
If there is a highly respected leader among these people.
The official team is also generous with small rewards.
For example, we could make an exception and secretly give them a booster potion.
The condition is that no further protests may be organized.
They even instructed these leaders to persuade others to stop causing trouble.
These people would often agree with a smile, after all, they felt obligated to help others.
People go out and cause trouble just to fight for their own interests.
Why care what others do when you've already gained real benefits?
