Chapter 68 Tornado. Distribution of Supplies
The government used small transport and supply ships as transit stations, docking them in squares in various districts, and then used small boats to deliver supplies to residential buildings.
Each small boat is equipped with four armed police officers and three government officials or community workers and volunteers.
In the previous life, heavy rains and tornadoes caught both the military and political circles off guard. A large amount of manpower and material resources were consumed in the early stages of rescue, but the effect was minimal, and many armed police officers, medical staff and volunteers were sacrificed.
In the later period, due to poor organization, insufficient supplies and weak armed forces, the number of thugs increased sharply, bloodshed occurred frequently, and temporary police stations and government offices were repeatedly attacked.
The police temporarily recruited public security police, but no one was willing to do it because the risk factor was too high. Under this vicious cycle, social order completely collapsed within two months.
Various organizations, groups and sects have emerged in society, all of which claim to be saviors on the surface, but are actually wolves in sheep's clothing.
A lot has really changed in this life. At least no one has started large-scale riots on the Internet yet.
Chu An followed the small group on the 11th floor downstairs to collect supplies, and Manager Ouyang, Yao Jiayu, Yuan Hai, and the Naonao couple followed closely behind.
Neither side spoke, only Nao Nao kept pouting and glaring.
You need your ID card to collect supplies. If you are unable to move around, you can ask a family member to collect them on your behalf. However, both parties’ ID cards must be presented to prevent someone else from collecting the supplies.
The supplies were distributed at the window on the sixth floor, and the owners were queuing in the corridor. When Chu An and his friends went down to the ninth floor, they saw the end of the line, which had already reached the corner of the eighth and ninth floors.
Judging from the length of the line, there are at least a hundred people in Building A.
When they were almost at the end of the line, Naonao and his wife and Yuan Hai ran a few steps quickly, deliberately overtaking Chu An and others and standing in front.
Manager Ouyang and Yao Jiayu were too embarrassed to do so and obediently lined up at the end.
Huo Sisi took several deep breaths before she calmed down with Yin Tianlin's comfort.
The supplies are rationed, with each person receiving two kilograms of rice, two kilograms of flour, one kilogram of potatoes or sweet potatoes, a bag of compressed vegetables, a bottle of hot sauce and three 5L buckets of purified water.
At first everyone thought it was a week's supply, but it was actually a month's supply.
"How can this be enough to eat?" A thin mother covered her face and cried.
"This rice looks like it's been soaked in water." Someone was indignant, "You are fooling people."
"Give me some more," a father begged, "We can eat less, the children can't go hungry."
The staff also had a worried look on their faces, but they didn't say a word. In this situation, no solution can be provided, and anything they say seems pale and powerless.
When someone tried to grab something, the armed police immediately pointed their guns at them. The staff tried to persuade them, "Staying alive is the most important thing."
When it was Chuan's group's turn, potatoes and sweet potatoes were gone, so they were replaced with taro or yam. They had just brought back a lot of supplies and didn't care what to exchange. Before the disaster, the price of taro and yam was higher than that of potatoes.
Chu An looked at the three 5L buckets of purified water and felt worried. Not only she couldn't carry them, but many people couldn't carry them all at once. If there were many people at home, one person would stay to watch the pile. If there were few people at home, they would ask people they knew to help watch each other.
Yin Tianlin asked Huo Sisi and Chu An to stay and watch the pile, and the four men moved quickly. The staff outside were not in a hurry to leave. They waited for half an hour and saw that they had almost moved everything before leaving by boat.
Be organized, disciplined, and prepared.
Chu An felt more and more relieved as she thought about it. It seemed that the leaders at the top also had outstanding abilities, but they just had no place to use them in the prosperous times. She sincerely hoped that more people could survive.
In her previous life, when she died, mankind had almost returned to the Stone Age, and modern civilization had completely disappeared.
Chu An told Shen Xun about this discovery, “Maybe in two years, the hospital will still be there, and you won’t have to worry about no one performing surgery on you.”
Shen Xun didn't care, "It's good to live here."
These days, he reclaimed three mu of land and planted sorghum, fenced off one mu of rice field, and diverted water from the stream, and built a horse ranch where horses can run freely.
She didn't know how Chen Xun did all these jobs, so quickly and beautifully. "If you are not comfortable here, just do less work. I have enough food and clothes."
Shen Xun just said "hmm" and led his Ji Feng to bask in the sun.
A cold flower, I saved myself, so I just endured it.
The next day, Zhuona sent a message saying that she had received the supplies and asked if others had received them.
Chu An replied that he had received the message, but there was no reply from Gu Ye for a long time.
After all, Zhuona and her daughter are mother and can discuss anything, and Zhuona's mother is also very capable in fighting, so she is the least to worry about at the moment.
Gu Ye, on the other hand, had not yet recovered from the grief of losing his mother when he encountered the torture of the end of the world. Even an adult might not be able to withstand the blow, let alone him.
Two hours later, Gu Ye called her from an unfamiliar number and said he had received it.
She heard Gu Ye's voice was a little hoarse and weak, so she asked him if something happened. Gu Ye said he had a cold and was not full.
It was true that she was not full. She knew Gu Ye's character well. He was loyal, quick-tempered, could not hide things in his mind, and his stubbornness was hard to understand.
But since he could say so casually that he was hungry, it shouldn't be a big deal. If he said that everything was fine, that would be abnormal.
She decided to take advantage of the low winds these days and find a chance to visit Gu Ye and Zhuona. However, 1105 Naonao's family started to stir up trouble again, disrupting her plan.
1105 Nao Nao hooked up with 510's mother, and they exposed in the group that Yin Tianlin transferred all the supplies to his mistress Huo Sisi, and they deliberately let them rob that day. Now Yin Tianlin and Huo Sisi eat and drink well every day, and laugh at the people in this building for being idiots.
Naonao's words immediately led to a barrage of curses, and no matter how Huo Sisi explained, it was useless.
Huo Sisi and Li Rong were afraid that he would get angry again. He had finally recovered from his illness, but if he got angry again and his old illness started, there wouldn't be enough medicine left. So they agreed that no one could tell him.
However, that night, when Chu An was about to go to Guotai Community, she found that someone was watching the 11th floor in the corridor. When he saw her coming out, he ran away.
Chu An only saw a back figure, it was a woman, whom he had never seen before.
She pretended to throw the garbage at the door of the emergency passage and had to go back.
It seems that the noise made many people feel concerned, but the government had just distributed food, so everyone had enough to eat and therefore they did not take any extreme actions.
Chu An told the small group about this matter, and just in case, several people decided to take turns to keep watch.
Li Rong and Tang Xiao spent half a day repairing the security door on their side and propped it up with a table as before.
There was a small door in the middle of the iron sliding door that Li Ronghou found. It had never been opened before and the lock was rusted. The two men broke the lock open. Tang Xiao had a car lock, which was just right for use here.
Even though the iron sliding door is not very strong, it would take the people downstairs an hour or two to push it down. This time is enough for them to fight back or escape back home.
The night watch is divided into the first and second half of the night, with two people in a shift.
