After dinner, they closed all the windows, and the three people and the dog sat on the sofa in harmony, watching an offline movie quietly.
The intercom suddenly rustled.
Huo Yishen turned off the movie and signaled the two dogs to be quiet.
He Tianming came over, "Comrade Huo, are you and Jiang Ning available now?"
"Yes, go ahead."
"I have something to do. If it's convenient for you, can you come down?"
Hearing his voice, he was a little hesitant and confused.
He Tianming has always been very thoughtful, and the things he can solve are not troublesome. It seems that he really encountered a difficult problem this time, and he had no choice but to come to worship.
Huo Yishen looked at Jiang Ning, and the two made eye contact to confirm, and then replied: "Okay."
After changing clothes, the two went downstairs.
After passing through many checkpoints and going out, He Tianming was already waiting not far away, with a serious expression.
Jiang Ning said, "Captain He, do you want to talk to us about something?"
He Tianming hesitated, "Someone from the municipal government came this afternoon and wanted us to vacate a few buildings to receive homeless refugees."
In fact, on the way back from the earthquake, when Jiang Ning saw the devastated Fengcheng and the homeless refugees everywhere, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Due to the timely warning, countless survivors survived.
This is undoubtedly a good thing, but new problems followed one after another. How to solve their food, drink, defecation and urination?
These are all things that the authorities have to think about.
Post-disaster reconstruction has not yet started, and we can't let them wander around, right? That would be more dangerous.
Aoyuan stood firm in the strong earthquake, and there were not many people living there, so it naturally caught the attention of the authorities.
Jiang Ning frowned, "Captain He agreed?"
Rescue is rescue, and it is true that He Tianming sympathizes with the refugees, but he is still rational.
If they are allowed in, will the Aoyuan members eat and drink while the refugees watch?
In fact, Aoyuan is also having a hard time. They can only survive on a diet of 50% to 60% full, and water is even more scarce.
But people are not worried about the lack of food but the inequality. Sweet potatoes were harvested some time ago, and everyone can get some water every day, but the refugees have nothing.
It is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. Once they come in, how can they leave?
As a psychologist, how can He Tianming not know the horror of human hearts? When a large number of refugees come in, who will be the host and who will be the guest?
Not to mention living in peace, even safety is not guaranteed.
"How dare I agree, but now is a special period. Even if I don't agree, the authorities will forcibly requisition the house and arrange for them to live in."
The other party did not say it clearly, but He Tianming knew in his heart that once he refused, they would start the compulsory process. He had to say in a roundabout way that he would convene members to discuss and try to delay time to discuss countermeasures.
But the members are ordinary people. Even He Tianming can't think of a countermeasure, let alone them.
Therefore, he wanted to hear the opinions of Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning. Based on his more than 20 years of experience in the industry, these two people have a background.
Maybe, a solution can be found?
It can only be said that he overestimated the two.
Whether it is Huo Yishen or Jiang Ning, they have no ability to confront the authorities.
The stance is different. If the two people were the official executive department, they would also choose to do so.
The arm cannot twist the thigh, and there is no good end for being stubborn. Now that the authorities have come to the door, there is no room for maneuver.
The only thing we can do now is to deal with them and ensure the safety of Aoyuan members on the premise of cooperation.
There is room for maneuver here.
The two looked at each other, and Huo Yishen cleared his throat, "Captain He, it's useless to refuse."
He Tianming smiled bitterly, he knew it well.
"We can only cooperate actively and strive for their understanding and cooperation."
As a person who has been through it, Huo Yishen gave him advice, "There are 8 buildings in our community..."
Buildings 1-3 are renovated, buildings 4-5 are exterior decoration, and buildings 6-8 are newly completed rough-finished.
Since they just want a place to stay, they can give 6-8 buildings to the refugees and build a wall in the middle as a safe buffer zone. Once they are hungry and thirsty and want to rush over, Aoyuan will have time to defend itself.
The authorities came out to talk, and they should accommodate a lot of refugees, and food, drink, defecation and urination will be a problem. They asked them to send managers over, and it would be best to have troops to avoid chaos.
If the refugees cause chaos, they can still come forward to stop it. It depends on how He Tianming talks to the authorities.
In addition, Huo Yishen reminded, "The whole city collapsed, and it will definitely be rebuilt in a safe place in the future. Once the new city is completed, Aoyuan will become an isolated city, which will be even more dangerous."
Aoyuan members made such a great sacrifice, He Tianming could take the opportunity to negotiate conditions with the authorities, win more points for the members, and find a way to settle down in the new city.
He Tianming rubbed his temples, "Even if you build a wall around it, it's too dangerous for you to live in Building 5. Once they break through the wall, you will be the first victims. Why don't you move to my building?"
Jiang Ning said calmly, "If the wall is really broken, Building 5 is only a hundred or two hundred meters away from Building 1. What's the difference?"
He Tianming thought about it and it was true. If the refugees really moved in, patrols and guards would be a big problem in the future.
But in the end of the world of natural disasters, people don't have the opportunity to choose.
He Tianming thanked him and sighed deeply, "I will think about it carefully when I go back and try to negotiate a good result."
The two returned upstairs with a solemn look.
I thought Aoyuan would be a paradise, but I didn't expect it to be full of crises.
Jiang Ning sighed quietly, "Is there any safe place outside?"
Huo Yishen was reluctant to talk about things that were too dark, but he believed that she had also experienced it, "The farther away from the city, the more dangerous it is."
In places where official forces cannot reach, not only are there evil forces gathered, but there are also a large number of people who have been forced into monsters by the end of the world.
Killings may happen at any time, and there is nowhere to hide.
Thinking of the days when she hid like a rat in her previous life, even if she was reborn once, Jiang Ning still shuddered, and fear kept seeping out from her bones.
Huo Yishen held her cold hand, "Let's reinforce the house and take it one step at a time."
There are many people in Aoyuan, and if they work together, there will be a way.
When the nest is overturned, no egg can be intact. Even if you want to stay away from others, they will always find you. You can fight off one or two waves, but what if there are a hundred waves?
Machines will get tired, let alone people.
From now on, the people of Aoyuan are still relatively united and reliable. Instead of leaving and breaking out, it is better to advance and retreat together.
Having seen the worst human nature, Jiang Ning has a hunch that even if He Tianming negotiates a very good bargain with the authorities, this conflict will eventually be inevitable.
The next day, Huo Yishen got up early to reinforce the doors and windows, while Jiang Ning went out to hand over the filtered fresh water.
They met at the abandoned industrial area. She rode her bicycle all the way there. There were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and the road was severely damaged.
