Jiang Yan frowned slightly: "What specific conditions?"
"They are picked up in batches. Tomorrow, the people who will be picked up are males between the ages of 16 and 35 and females between the ages of 18 and 30. Of course, if you have a special skill, such as carpentry, welding, cooking, or someone who is very good at swimming, the other party will relax the age range appropriately. The people
picked up on the ship today were all young people from other places. The remaining space is limited, and several people have squeezed in from several buildings in our community. But if you go there on your own, the authorities will also accept you.
Their current base is located in the Anming Twin Towers. Both the north and south towers have more than 60 floors, so there is still enough space for some people."
Su Dai glanced out the dark window, pursed her lips, and continued:
"In fact, we all think that this is clearly a screening of the most suitable young and middle-aged labor force and the most suitable women for childbearing. The official said that subsequent batches will come to pick up the rest, but anyone with a discerning eye can guess what is going on.
Most families have elderly and young children, and in such bad weather, it is impossible to leave their families and go alone, so the number of people who choose to go is not actually that many. But Anming has a population of several million. No matter how few people go to each place, it is not a small number when put together.
This does not include those people in the high-rise residential areas near the Twin Towers, which were relatively more convenient in the past."
Jiang Yan was not surprised by the official approach.
Before the end of the world, disaster relief and rescue efforts were given priority to rescuing the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled and pregnant women.
Now the situation is obviously different.
The official is obviously unable to take care of itself.
Otherwise, they would definitely hope that as many people as possible would go.
After all, the demographic dividend is applicable at any time.
Jiang Yan did not think about it in detail, but looked at Su Dai and said, "Then will you go tomorrow?"
Looking at the ages of Su Dai, Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing, they obviously meet the requirements.
Moreover, Sun Jingtao has a military temperament, which makes people easily think of the words "If there is a war, I will return when called, and I will win the war.
" "No." Su Dai answered very straightforwardly.
Her answer was somewhat unexpected to Jiang Yan.
"Oh?"
Su Dai saw the surprise on Jiang Yan's face and smiled bitterly:
"When we went outside to search for supplies, we met several waves of official people looking for supplies. It feels that the base is only in the early stage now, more like a temporary shelter. It can accommodate a small number of people, and the internal management is also a bit chaotic.
The key is that it is nothing. The people above are busy fighting for power and want to consolidate their position in advance during the chaos. It is the people below who work hard from dawn to dusk. Now those who go to the base are not eating and drinking for free. There are tasks every day, which are not easy.
Instead of this, it is better to be self-sufficient, at least you are free and don't have to be controlled by others everywhere."
What Su Dai didn't tell Jiang Yan was that these internal information were actually obtained by Sun Jingtao's private investigation.
It's just that there are some things that she can't say too much.
Jiang Yan listened to her words and thought about it.
In fact, she was not interested in going to the official base.
But she couldn't shut herself off from the world by staying at home, and she must not miss out on the information she should get from the side.
In her opinion, natural disasters in the future will be ever-changing, but as long as humans survive, there will be hope of solving and defeating them.
After all, in the more than five million years since the evolution of apes to humans, there have been many natural disasters, many of which were devastating.
Of course, leaving aside the struggle for power within the official base, in terms of manpower, material resources, and technology, the official base must have its own advantages. It
is even possible that some scientists, after research, can invent something to adapt to this natural disaster environment.
However, that should be a matter of several years or dozens or hundreds of years later.
Besides, even if some unique benefits and technologies come out, only those in power can enjoy them first.
As an ordinary citizen, she would only know about it at most.
But she would definitely not choose to give up the right to know.
This is also the original intention of her choosing Repulse Bay to be a great hidden person in the city.
Seeing Jiang Yan lost in thought, Su Dai couldn't help but say: "What about you, Jiang Yan, will you choose to go tomorrow?"
Jiang Yan shook her head and said without thinking: "I won't go either."
At present, there is no better place than her complete house and space.
She doesn't worry about food and drink, and she would rather give up her comfortable life and work for the base, unless she is crazy.
"By the way, the group of people who came today said that someone reported to the authorities that you have a gun. Do you want to hide or hide the gun tomorrow?" Su Dai's eyes lit up, and she reminded her quickly when she remembered this.
Jiang Yan smiled and said lightly: "No need."
"I'm afraid they will come to trouble you tomorrow." Su Dai was still a little worried.
It's not that Jiang Yan's illegal possession of firearms, but that guns, such hot weapons, are very deterrent in this environment, and are obviously a hot commodity in the eyes of many people.
Those who are extremely power-hungry will not let go either.
It is not impossible to find a legal and reasonable excuse to take away both the person and the gun
. "Whoever advocates, shall provide evidence. Their report is one thing, and whether they can find evidence is another. Besides, at this time, the official people may not be so idle." Jiang Yan said calmly.
The gun was thrown into the space, and the bodies and bullet shells with bullet holes were gone.
Even if everyone turned the Repulse Bay upside down, they would not be able to find them.
Moreover, looking at the weather outside now, those official ships are unlikely to come out.
Even if they come, she is not afraid.
If you want to fight, fight. If you don't want to fight, you can also flash into the space to see who can outlast who.
Looking at Jiang Yan's calm and fearless expression, Su Dai's worry on her face also disappeared.
The raindrops outside the window are bigger, and the wind is howling. The raindrops are blown by the wind in waves, and you can see the shape of the wind.
In addition, her balcony is just ordinary glass, not soundproof.
It feels like the roof can be blown away in an instant.
Su Dai wanted to say something,
"Creaky--" the door was pushed open, and Ye Qing walked in.
There were some blood stains on his hands, probably because he had just dealt with Zhang Dan's body.
Bending down and casually picking up a piece of cloth to wipe it, Ye Qing took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Yan.
"Jiang Yan, for safety reasons, Brother Tao and I found a lock to lock the fire door on the 32nd floor. If possible, we'd better go in and out together. If you need to go out at special times, let us know."
"Okay." Jiang Yan reached out to take it.
The fire door actually has a lock, but according to regulations, it cannot be locked on a daily basis, so no one knows where the property key has gone.
Now is not an ordinary time, and it is indeed safer to lock the door.
Although everyone is afraid of a few people, it is hard to guarantee that someone will have some bad intentions again.
