Chapter 41 Temporary Safe Base
Su Yu sank into the soft mattress.
The small speaker next to the bed played soft music.
The whole world is unusually quiet.
The dim light indoors and the dazzling sunlight outside form a huge contrast.
The death rate from high temperatures in the first two months was not high.
It only reduced the world's population by about 8 percent.
Among them, only 30% died of hunger and high temperature, and the remaining 70% were mostly killed by people due to the chaos in the early days of the apocalypse.
Now half of Yuncheng’s residents have gathered in front of their respective district governments.
Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people lined up, blocking the nearby streets.
There is no place for people to park by car, so they can only get out and walk.
The sweat on people's bodies can stick people who are close to each other together.
However, each district government has only a few buses for transportation.
Very few people meet the requirements.
Officials in charge of each area are equipped with guns.
Because this is not a fair rescue activity, once someone riots, they will be dealt with directly.
Only those who arrived at the scene realized that it was not as simple as just having supplies.
Instead, everyone in the family must meet the corresponding material requirements.
Elderly persons over 60 years old and children under 12 years old are not accepted.
No matter how much supplies they take out.
They were also blocked on the periphery by guns.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
The high temperature has reached 58℃.
Everyone was gritting their teeth and persevering to get on the car to the temporary safe base.
But at this time only the first group of people were sent away.
There are five major districts in total, and forty-five people were sent away from each district.
These forty-five people not only provide professional assistance to the temporary base, but also contribute far more than ordinary people in terms of supplies.
Under the scorching sun.
The people on the bus showed expressions of horror.
The entire car was exceptionally quiet, with only the sound of the air conditioner blowing.
Two months of high temperatures.
This was the first time they had felt cool since the power outage.
The sudden drop in temperature gave everyone goosebumps.
Of course, not everyone was so shocked.
Among them are owners of diesel factories and various power generation product factories.
And the ticket that allows them to get on this train is the resources they have.
The buses from the five districts headed towards the temporary safe base.
The person in charge of the review continued to review.
Those who meet the basic material requirements will be admitted to the hall first.
When the number of eligible people in the hall reaches 450, the 45 most advantageous ones will be selected from among them.
"Why do you screen people like this?"
"Why didn't you make the conditions clear from the beginning?!"
"Isn't it okay for me to give you the money? I have one million in my bank account."
"Please let my son come into the base with me."
"If we're going to die, we're going to die together! Otherwise, let's all go to the temporary safe base together."
People entering the hall shouted.
Until they were knocked to the ground by soldiers with rifles.
Such a screening with an extremely low probability is almost a crushing blow to people.
They endured the pain and came to the government with supplies.
However, everything was more cruel than they imagined.
No matter how much they wanted to resist, they could not defeat a well-trained army with their tired bodies and bare hands.
The long queue near the district government made it difficult for the bus to move.
There are cars parked randomly everywhere.
In addition to cars, there are also electric vehicles parked across the middle of the road.
The nearest district government is only twenty kilometers away from the temporary safety base.
It took two hours to drive these twenty kilometers.
During these two hours, people sitting on the bus seats were full of anticipation.
If there were such a traffic jam on a normal day, I would be very annoyed.
At this moment, people are indeed sitting in their seats and enjoying themselves quietly.
The temperature inside the bus was 26 degrees Celsius, making it feel like a paradise on earth.
But as the temporary safe base gradually appeared before their eyes.
The longing in their eyes was obviously reduced a lot.
The temporary safe base was built in the forest and the houses were covered in the shade of the trees.
It covers an area of about 3,000 acres.
It is the area of a university.
What you see is an electric fence that is more than 20 meters high and covered with dense thorns.
Countless fans surrounded the temporary safe base.
Next are houses of various styles and structures.
It is clear that these houses are divided into different levels.
The house at the end is almost hidden under the towering trees, which gives it a natural cooling advantage.
Moreover, the house is higher than other houses, and the upper floors can almost overlook the entire temporary safe base.
From the inside to the outside, the height of the house, the comfort of its location and the materials used to build it decrease in sequence.
Even the outskirts of the temporary safe base were turned into the simplest quarantine facilities.
When the buses from the five districts arrive at the same time, special receptionists will assign them houses and introduce them to the temporary safe base.
Soldiers were guarding the entrance to the temporary security base.
Every resident of the base needs to swipe their card to enter.
"Please line up in order to record the access control."
"Housing occupancy information will be evaluated based on the materials you provide and your individual contribution level."
"The temporary safe base has complete infrastructure and can accommodate everyone's daily life."
"Due to limited water resources, water is only available for two hours each morning and evening, and water usage is restricted depending on the room."
"The base has a power source and fans for basic cooling. There is also a dedicated air-conditioned room, open 24 hours a day, and you can enter using points."
"You can earn base points by participating in labor or providing supplies at the base."
"If the supplies are at home and a car needs to be sent to pick them up, the points will be discounted by 50%..."
Horns blared one after another, informing everyone who joined the temporary safe base of the rules.
The first group of people to arrive at the temporary safe base were the forty-five people sent by each of the five major districts.
A total of two hundred and fifty-five people.
As soon as they left the bus, they felt the scorching heat outside again.
It was almost noon.
The high temperature reached 62℃.
At this time of day, people usually cling to the cold floors of their homes in an attempt to stay cool.
Everyone seemed extremely impatient.
Every minute and every second in the high temperature is torture.
Just when everyone was anxious.
There was a loud noise from the temporary safety base, followed by a loudspeaker announcement:
"The fans are fully operational and available for base personnel to cool down."
The fans on all sides rotate simultaneously.
They surrounded the entire temporary safe base, and the air flowing in the middle made it much cooler.
The receptionist did not delay and quickly brought the people into the base in batches.
The receptionist will then serve everyone by assigning rooms, introducing the various facilities on the base, the rules for using the base canteen, etc.
Although everyone is aware of the differences between houses.
But the base has water and electricity, and the temperature is more than ten degrees lower than outside.
During a natural disaster, being here is much better than being at home.
Little did they know that they were the test subjects of the first batch of temporary safety base experiments.
