Chapter 561 It’s better to die early

“Oh~~” An Ran lowered her eyes. She didn’t have any feelings because she was not the one who was cold.

But Liu Zhi felt that An Ran was a very introverted girl. But then he thought about it and realized that it was true. He heard that it was very difficult for people in the south to survive. If a woman met a group of survivors, most of them would be... So An Ran must have experienced a lot, and it was right for her to be so silent.

Liu Zhi then understood again, and said to An Ran very considerately: "We are locals, and we heard that many people survived here, so we came to see you today. Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense with the base. We really come here to ask for some firewood."

Liu Zhi looked like a respectable person in a family. The two men she brought over seemed to be powerful people. They called Liu Zhi "Auntie". As she spoke, Liu Zhi gave An Ran a bag of crystal cores and shook them at her.

"Look, I know it's not easy for you to grow trees. Take this bag of crystal cores. We will use them as ours to buy your wood."

"Don't you have any wood near your house?"

An Ran did not take the bag of crystal cores, but finally raised her head and looked at Liu Zhi.

Liu Zhi gave a bitter smile and said to An Ran, "The wood in Hedong is almost all chopped down. All the wood-type supernaturalists in the base are working to grow rice, vegetables and fruits. Who will care about the well-being of us low-level people?"

It would be fine if there was electricity during the day but not at night. The key point is that all resources in Hedong are prioritized in the safety zone. Outside the safety zone, the heating is intermittent. Sometimes it is cut off for a long time and no one comes to repair it. The long pipes are buried underground. Who knows which section has the problem?

So now everyone has started to build their own heating system at home, which is to build a stove in a closed room, burn wood in the stove, and then use a pipe to exhaust the smoke.

Firewood is a very important heating resource. The Yaoyang base is not mainly based on agriculture. There are mostly industries in the base, and many people survived. They cannot go to the distant mountains because there is no one to organize them, and the wind and snow are heavy, so the trees in the east of the river have almost been cut down.

Recently, more and more people have frozen to death in Hedong, but according to the opinions of the top leaders of the base, this is also a process of survival of the fittest. Only those with poor physical fitness will be frozen to death. Since these people have such poor physical fitness, they will either die in this heavy snow or in the next disaster. They will die sooner or later, so it is better to die early.

This is cruel, but the long history of human beings has proved that survival of the fittest is the law of nature. Those who can survive hardships do have good physical fitness and longer lifespans. Only such people can continue the human race.

Therefore, residents of the lower-level base who had some ability, like Liu Zhi, could only find ways to get some firewood for heating. But as she said, the plants in the east of the river had really been cut down.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. You have to ask our Fatty Brother."

An Ran still didn't take the crystal core that Liu Zhi handed over. She tried very hard not to be the first to take action. She pushed everything to Fatty to solve. Who made Fatty so arrogant? As she was pushing the bag of crystal cores with Liu Zhi, footsteps were heard outside the planting room, and the voices of Fatty and Luo Feifan talking. After a while, Fatty pushed the door open, followed by Luo Feifan, who was followed by several power psychics who chopped wood every day.

"Well, you can get as much as you want."
