Chapter 599



Not long after Jian Hui found Li Xue, Li Xue took some time to go to the granary.

All the staff in the granary were replaced by their people, who were trustworthy. Even when faced with the granary that was suddenly full again, they were only surprised for a moment, and then started the day's work as if nothing had happened. In

recent days, many people have come to them to ask about the food storage in the granary, and they have answered those people according to the instructions from above. "Don't worry, our base has a lot of food reserves, there is no such thing as a one-month deadline. You can rest assured."

In fact, they were also panicked every day when they saw the granary that was constantly decreasing and was about to run out of food. Without food, how long can they survive in this cruel world?

How could the panicked people in the base believe them so easily? They still lined up to buy food every day.

Especially when the so-called one-month deadline was approaching, the people in the base braved the severe cold and stayed at the food sales office all night, waiting for the staff at the food sales office to open the window to sell food.

However, there were also some rational people who chose to wait quietly after seeing how the base had been handling things during this period. They believed that the base would never joke with their lives. The base has never come out to explain such a big thing, and the food has been supplied continuously, so they have reason to believe that the base definitely has the means to protect them. So why should they cause trouble to the base at this time?

However, there are only a few people who think this way.

The people in the logistics department are almost going crazy. In the past few days, their daily work has been to cook and sell meals, and to count the points of the people.

These days, most of the people want to exchange all their points for food, and their workload is also astonishingly large. I really don’t know how these people have so many points to squander?

Seeing that today is the last day of the one-month period, they are looking forward to it very much. After today, they can have a good vacation. Well, the people in the base bought so much food and took it back. They probably won't come to the ration office to buy food in a short time, right?

However, the workload today seems to be heavier. Compared with the past, the craze for selling food seems to have reached its climax.

The ration offices in the base are all crowded with people. People stand in the cold wind and line up in long queues, almost squeezing the windows of the ration offices crooked. Everyone wants to buy some more food. Maybe if they come too late, the food will really be sold out.

In the super large kitchen of the logistics department, pots of roughly processed food were continuously sent to various grain sales outlets. The so-called rough processing means throwing various raw materials into the pot and cooking them. Nothing is added except water. The

workers who have been busy for nearly a month complained: "Do you think those people outside who refuse to buy food are stupid? In such a cold day, they have to run out to buy food."

Some workers laughed: "Aren't they insecure? It's okay, it will be easy after these two days."

Others sneered: "These people really don't know how to change. You say that buying food is already a big deal. How long has it been? If the base is really like what the rumor said, I'm afraid there is no food to buy in the entire base now. "

The food that passes through their hands every day seems to be able to pile up into a mountain. If the base really has no food in stock for so many days, they would have gone home to wait for death long ago. Why would they need to stay in the back kitchen and desperately swing a big shovel to cook simple but very hungry food.

But those people who have lost their reason can't think so much. They just try to save more food.

I don't know what the base commander is up to. These people made such a big fuss, but she didn't come out to clarify. Even issuing an announcement would be better than keeping silent like now! Fortunately, a group of people who endangered the safety of the base had been dealt with before, which served

as a warning to others. The remaining people did not dare to make trouble. In fact, Li Xue's idea was very simple, that is, to speak with facts. In the current situation, no matter how the base comforts the people that the base has enough food reserves, they will not believe it. People are afraid of death, especially those who have experienced various life and death ordeals. They value their lives more. Even the slightest disturbance can make them panic all day long.

Therefore, Li Xue and others decided not to make any more useless explanations. Since they want to buy food, they will satisfy them. When they have spent all the points in their hands, they will naturally be satisfied. At that time, the rumor that the base has no food reserves will be self-defeating.

The rush to buy food did not stop until most people's points were cleared.

Then, those who were frantically buying food gradually calmed down.

The base did not release any news about food shortages, and the food outlets were still operating normally every day. As long as you have points or crystal cores, you can buy food, and the food looks much more exquisite than the food they bought in the severe cold.

Could it be that the base still has a lot of food reserves? But if so, where did the rumor of food shortage come from?

Yes, it was spread by those who were directly executed. It turns out that they wanted to use the food shortage to disrupt the normal order of the base. If they had been like the nearly 10,000 people who were driven away, I'm afraid they would be dead or alive now.

So, the masses of people figured out the truth in their minds.

After knowing the result, those who rushed to buy food couldn't help but feel ashamed. They actually messed around in the base for a rumor that had no reliable basis at all.

It was also thanks to the kindness of the base commander that he didn't punish them. If it were the bases they had been in before, as long as they dared to go against the base, the prison doors of those bases would often be open, waiting for you with open arms!

After the food purchase storm was completely settled, Li Xue asked Qin Kai and others to draft a notice, explaining the incident from beginning to end.

Two points were emphasized.

First, the base has sufficient food reserves, please do not worry.

Second, the base did not come forward to stop everyone in time during this incident because it took everyone's mood into consideration, so the base actively cooperated and tried to prevent everyone from causing more disputes. I hope everyone will not blame the base for not responding in time.

After reading the notice, those who actively snatched food were all deeply sad.

Damn, so much tasteless food, it will take them a long time to finish it!
