"What's wrong?" Qu Dongbo asked when he saw Lu Qin's expression changing.
"Oh... nothing. I just happened to see the report in your hand." Lu Qin calmed down and said, "I feel a little sad. Who would be willing to leave home if they couldn't survive?"
Qu Dongbo laughed and continued to read the documents. "There are indeed quite a few disaster victims coming from the surrounding areas recently. I've asked around, and they're mostly from the north."
"North?"
"Yes, the situation here is like this now, and it's even worse in the north." Qu Dongbo shook his head.
The north is the death zone of the cold wave era.
If the snowstorms in the south caused massive casualties, the north was devastated. Thick layers of snow piled up, eventually turning into ice, freezing everything.
Ten years after the end of the world, an advance force from the base flew over the north, but all they could see were buildings that looked like ice sculptures and human figures that had been frozen in the ice for who knows how many years.
What is left in the ice of the north are the frozen moments of contemporary civilization.
Areas north of the Tropic of Cancer will become deserted within the next few years.
Human beings can only follow the tail of vitality and migrate from north to south.
All major bases in the future would be located in the south. The only northern base was built because of the vast coal mines in the area, which provided energy. Otherwise, the vast land in the north was almost synonymous with death. This was one of the reasons why Lu Qin chose to come to Rongcheng from his hometown.
Even though my hometown is in the south, the environment is definitely much worse than Rongcheng.
So Lu Qin was not surprised to hear that they were refugees from the north.
But...how could she tactfully point out that these refugees might be problematic?
Of course Lu Qin couldn't say it directly.
Even the best scientific researchers could not discover the existence of the "cold wave virus" during this period of time.
The three-year incubation period gives the virus a chance to survive.
Lu Qin couldn't produce any evidence, nor did she know the exact time the virus began to spread. She couldn't be sure if the virus had already existed at the beginning of the apocalypse, as she had heard in her previous life.
She had no way to prove it, and even less to deal with the "cold wave virus."
Ten years after the end of the world, there is still no successful way to prevent this virus, let alone a cure.
Generally, people infected with the virus can only gradually develop from mild symptoms to severe symptoms and finally brain death.
At least Lu Qin had never seen a cured patient in his previous life.
"Should our county take over these refugees?" Lu Qin thought about it and asked.
Qu Dongbo answered in the affirmative: "We must accept these disaster victims. Many of them are returning home from the north, and we can't stop them. What's more..." He hesitated and continued, "Antu County is south of Rongcheng. Their arrival in Antu County proves one thing: Rongcheng didn't accept them."
"Why?" Lu Qin was curious. As a big city, Rongcheng must have a richness of resources that cannot be compared with a small county. Now it is still in the early days of the apocalypse. For a behemoth like Rongcheng, these people are not that many.
"I'm not entirely sure, but I can guess a little. After I came back last time, there were factions within Rongcheng trying to win me over, but I simply didn't respond." Qu Dongbo frowned. "There's a strong possibility something's wrong within the Rongcheng base. They can't even handle a small number of refugees, so I'm afraid there's a serious problem."
Lu Qin nodded. This was the first time she heard such a detailed question from Qu Dongbo.
She thought carefully... When was the Rongcheng base unified? What happened back then?
But unfortunately, she was not omniscient. The base she knew was the base of the grassroots people. She really had no idea about such important events at the top level.
But it seems that he is destined to be involved in these things in this life, and Lu Qin has a headache.
She didn't know how to prevent the "cold wave virus" in advance, and coupled with the civil unrest in Rongcheng, she was afraid that there would be unrest in the near future.
"Okay, don't worry, I'm here for you." Qu Dongbo saw her frown and comforted her, "I'm sorry that I've been unintentionally sharing the pressure of work with you."
"This is also my job. Besides, I just want to live a good life. If the current situation is turbulent, how can I fulfill my wish?" Lu Qin stared at Qu Dongbo and smiled. "Besides, your business is my business, right? Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
All she had hoped for was to live a good life.
These days, she is devoted to potato planting experiments, and sometimes when she is alone, she thinks.
At the beginning, she went to great lengths to buy a house and move, and spent a lot of effort to collect supplies. In fact, she just wanted to live a good life in the apocalypse, just like at the beginning, hiding at home to eat and drink every day. As long as no one came to disturb her, she might hide in her own comfort zone for the rest of her life.
In fact, she also thought at the beginning that this was the best arrangement.
After experiencing a series of hunger and fatigue, everyone will feel that a stable life is the best.
but......
Sometimes things don't always go smoothly.
Being threatened, being forcibly attacked...
All this told her that even if she was reborn and made what she thought was perfect preparations in advance, even if she had an unexpected golden finger, it would be impossible for her to live the life of her dreams.
Living a life of idleness and waiting for death is always the lowest level of life.
She shouldn't, wouldn't do that.
She needs to become stronger and have more support to ensure her original little wish.
Actively solving the current problems is the beginning.
Lu Qin's eyes were as bright as stars, and the flickering flames of candlelight were imprinted in his eyes, just like the burning flames of ideals.
Qu Dongbo reached out and held her hand.
"Yes. No matter what happens, we will face it together."
The warmth in the palm of my hand is like some kind of power, firm and powerful.
