Chapter 284: New Year

When Jiang Chen finished moving all the things in these two warehouses, it was almost night.

Fortunately, the volume of the storage space has been expanded to more than 20 cubic meters, and if the small capacity of the original one cubic meter of the jump bracelet is followed, I am afraid that even if he is exhausted, he will not be able to move the thousands of tons of materials.

"My God, are you robbing the granary?" Looking at the mountains of boxes in the backyard, Sun Jiao fell into a complete stupor.

Although there has been no shortage of food in the base, it is the first time she has seen such a large amount of food.

"Do you still need to rob such a small amount of food? On our side, such a pile will cost more than $700,000. Looking at Sun Jiao's unseen appearance, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and said in a slightly meaningful tone.

Many of these hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent on logistics. The Panu Islands are surrounded by large agricultural and livestock industries, and wholesale produce from Australia and New Zealand is very cheap.

"But this is too much" Looking at the hill, Sun Jiao half-opened and closed her mouth and said stupidly.

Seeing the rare stunned look on Sun Jiao's face, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile and reached out and patted her waist.

"Alright, don't stand stupidly, let someone move things into the granary. ”

Her cheeks were slightly red, and Sun Jiao seemed to be aware of her gaffe, so she glared at him angrily, turned around and ran to the community center outside the villa to find Wang Qing.

Smiling at Sun Jiao's back as he ran away, Jiang Chen turned to look at the dark sky in the distance.

It's already February, and by the time the month is over, the snow will almost stop.

On the wasteland. Spring is the hunting season.

Whether it's the xenos who have just finished hibernating, or the bandits who have been silent for a whole season. They were all starving for the snow to melt, waiting for the two- or four-legged prey to emerge from under the rubble.

"This winter. There's a lot going on. Shaking his head, Jiang Chen tightened his coat and walked towards the villa

The 1,302 tons of materials were not counted until noon the next day, and they were classified and stored in storage.

Of these, 300 tons of grain were retained at the base as a reserve and for daily consumption. The remaining 1,002 tons were transported through the sewers to warehouses in the sixth block, some of which were used for local sales, and the other part was transported by a trading fleet formed by the Zhao Group to the nearby cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou, where they were exchanged for subcrystalline and other hard-selling hard currency.

A whole day. The base is immersed in the joy of harvest.

Although it is unknown how the food is transported into the base, this does not prevent the survivors in the base from smiling joyfully at the full granary. Although not everyone is eligible to eat in the cafeteria, as long as they work hard, they will one day be among the top citizens and enjoy unlimited rationing.

It coincides with the New Year.

At Jiang Chen's improvised initiative, the survivors set up a row of sheds to cover the snow in the square in front of the community center and held a "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner Conference."

Tonight only, regardless of status. Anyone who is interested can apply for a booth to cook their favorite food and share their own food with others.

There is no limit to the supply of food in the granary. Personnel from the base's logistics department will be responsible for supplying food and fuel to stalls that are out of stock in a timely manner.

There is only one iron rule to follow, and that is to eliminate waste, eat as much as you want, and throw away any food. will be severely punished by the base.

However, it turned out that adding this rule was obviously Jiang Chen's overthinking.

Those starving ghosts who "have never seen the world". When I ate them one by one, I was so eager to burst my belly, and I only hated that my parents had two less mouths.

Considering that there is no such thing as stomach digesting tablets in the base. After thinking about it for a moment, Jiang Chen had to make a supplementary clause - "Don't vomit within 24 hours, otherwise you will eat it all for me!"

This order still made the starving ghosts more leisurely, and a little more rational when enjoying the food.

Eating alone wasn't enough, so the survivors lit a bonfire in the middle of the square and started an impromptu talent show.

The singing is not necessarily good, and the dance is not necessarily beautiful, but there is no doubt that it is lively.

People sit in the middle of the square with hot bowls, drinking hot soup and munching on barbecue.

Although the radioactive dust above the sky is still oppressive, and the white snowflakes are still cold, the fire chips rising above the bonfire have dispelled the haze that permeates people's hearts.

Standing side by side with Sun Jiao on the roof of the community center, looking at the faces full of happy smiles in the square, Jiang Chen couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"Are you happy?" Looking at Jiang Chen's side face, Sun Jiao said.

"Of course. ”

Half a year ago, it was just a half-collapsed villa area. Not to mention that it is inaccessible, even zombies can't see a few.

However, who would have thought that in just half a year, this place would be transformed into this prosperous appearance.

Looking at the smile that rose at the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth, Sun Jiao's cheeks were slightly red, and a smile also appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Not because of the growth of the base, but simply because of the growth of the beloved in front of you.

Half a year ago, she would not have thought that he, who was powerless, would grow into such an outstanding appearance today.

"Really, I don't know how much food I'll have to consume tonight. Although she complained, there was no expression of opposition on her face, like a quarrel between lovers.

"The material conditions are basically satisfied, and the building of spiritual civilization is also very important. Spending energy on outdoor sports is always better than smoking alcohol and drugs. Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"That's right. Looking at the lively atmosphere in the square, a touch of nostalgia appeared on Sun Jiao's face.

"What are you thinking?"

"It's a long way off. ”

Sun Jiao said in a nostalgic tone, "On the days of the shelter, although I can't feel the change in seasonal temperature, every time it is this special day, people will gather together to celebrate. I vaguely remember that whenever this day came, my father would tell us stories on the ground. It was snowing there, people setting off firecrackers, eating delicious Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, although when the shelter opened, I realized that all this was fake, everything was just a fairy tale. ”

A shelter locked down for years is like an isolated island. At the same time, it is isolated from radiation, and it is also isolated from all electromagnetic wave signals, and it is impossible to receive any information from the outside world.

However, people still believe that when the iron door opens, everything will be good. After all, what stayed in the eyes of these people was only the halo of a moment before the nuclear explosion, not the ruthlessness of the shock wave sweeping through the crowd.

"Do you think your father lied to you?" Jiang Chen asked softly.

"I used to think about it, but then I understood it more or less. Sun Jiao shook her head, staring at the bonfire not far away with a somewhat complicated expression, "People are such fragile creatures, if they can't see hope, they can't live." (To be continued......)
