Chapter 170: Basic Contradictions

It took more than ten days for Wen Luming and his entourage to arrive at the capital security base. This is a very large base, with a majestic city wall, winding like the Great Wall, people outside the base can not see how big the whole base is, probably take a helicopter to fly over the base, in order to see the whole base of the whole picture.

It is worthy of being the capital security base, the veritable first base, and because it has always been the political and cultural center of the entire country, and it was one of the most prosperous and developed cities before the end of the world, so it is conceivable how many survivors will be in this base and how powerful it is.

It is also the strength that has the strength to lead the gathering and exchange of various bases in the south and north of the world.

This time, Wang Wenyu and the others did not drive military trucks when they came to the capital security base on a mission, but all of them were replaced by sturdy and durable Humvees or Land Rovers.

The number of them who came out this time was not large, all of them were fierce and heroic, of course, the members of the think tank type were headed by Wang Wence, this time Wang Wenyu's fox military advisor Liu Jingyu did not come out with him, he was Wang Wenyu's most trusted person, so he stayed at the base to deal with the affairs of the military department for Wang Wenyu, and paid attention to the hostile forces that were eyeing the military department with bad intentions.

Compared with the capital security base, the new security base is the difference between a county town and a municipality directly under the central government, not only there are not so many survivors, but also the construction infrastructure and the like cannot be compared.

But one of the things that is better about the freshman base than the capital base is that basically everyone in the survivors in the newborn base can survive by labor, and even if they can't, there are relief in the base; The capital base was full of ragged beggars, many of whom were ordinary people with hands and feet, but they were very thin and skinny, and many of them did not even have the strength to walk, so they could only curl up on the ground and wait for death.

"It's so miserable, much worse than the people at our base. Look at those people are skinny to the bones, right? Can only starve to death? But they have good hands and feet, why can't they survive? Zhou Wen sat in the driver's seat and looked at the almost humanoid skeletons on the side of the road outside the base, waiting for death.

They were lining up outside the capital base to wait for inspection before entering the base, and while they stopped and waited, ordinary people who were dying were everywhere on the roadside.

Zhou Wen is a straight man, although he is a man with five big and three thick, but when he saw so many yellow-faced and skinny people lying on the side of the road like beggars, his compassion was aroused.

He naturally knew that in this last days, ordinary people without abilities would live very hard, and he had also seen ordinary people who were bitten to death by zombies, and people who starved to death without food, but he had never seen so many refugees waiting for death at one time, such a cruel and tragic scene shocked him fiercely.

In their own freshman security base, this will naturally not happen. But it is precisely because the new life safe base is a neutral base, the number of survivors is not so large, and the food produced by the land can barely provide for the needs of the survivors, so that the situation of not starving to death can be benevolently maintained.

However, a super-large base like the Capital Security Base has far more survivors than any other base, but the food produced by the land it can grow cannot supply a huge number of survivors, and even if there are many people who go out to collect supplies, it still cannot support all the survivors.

Therefore, the only way to do this is to implement measures that are very different from those of the new security base, and to leave the survivors to fend for themselves, or to fend for themselves. Those who have the ability can naturally live well, while those who do not have the ability can only wait for death slowly, because it is impossible to survive by begging for alms from others.

Is this probably a kind of "natural selection"? But it's more likely that the people at the top of the base's power don't want to waste supplies on helping useless people.

After all, not all base leaders are like Wang Ting, and they still have a benevolent heart.

"Maybe there's too many people here, and there's too little food." Wang Wence sat lazily in the passenger seat, casually looking at the refugees outside the car window and said.

"But before those people became so weak, they all had hands and feet, and they should be able to kill zombies. Can't we kill ordinary people in our base? Zhou Wen continued.

"It's naïve, Zhou Wen. Have you forgotten that the ordinary people in our base have been trained all winter before they can deal with ordinary zombies? Before winter, they were not very capable of killing zombies. Therefore, it is either through training, or ordinary people who have directly fought with zombies have the ability to survive in a zombie-infested world. Wang Wence squinted at the lonely, glazed-eyed refugee and said.

"Don't you care about them at the capital base?" Zhou Wen said, "Gathering ordinary people is also a force, like our base, they can't go out to kill zombies and collect supplies, but they can do some basic work in the base, waiters, laborers who repair the city wall, and so on." That way, there won't be so many ordinary people waiting outside the base to die. ”

"I said you were naïve, you were really simple-minded. Do you think that the capital base will be like our small base, and the relationship between the supernatural and ordinary people will not be so tense and there will be no conflict? Wang Wence glanced at Zhou Wen with disdain.

"Where is our base small?" Stupid big week and didn't grasp the point.

Wang asked Ce to give him a blank look: "Isn't it small compared to this base?" But small has small benefits. If you think about it, if we have so many high-ranking people in our base, you say one thing, I say one word, and many measures cannot be implemented in a timely and effective manner. Luckily, the forces in our base aren't that complicated, otherwise, they would be like here. ”

"Is it that serious? But when I get here, I really think that our base chief is really a good person, at least there will be no starvation in the base, and no one will die of cold in winter, which should be considered a miracle, right? Zhou Wen suddenly felt that his reverence for the base chief was deeper.

"Father, he just tried his best, but fortunately, our base is relatively remote, and there are not so many people, otherwise it might have ended up like this. There are so many refugees here in the capital base, but it is only because the supplies here cannot meet the needs of so many survivors, that is, the limited supply cannot meet the needs of unlimited survivors. Wang Wence said solemnly,

Didn't Marx say that the basic contradiction of human society is the contradiction between the productive forces and the relations of production? The basic contradiction here is the same, that is, the backward productive forces cannot meet the social needs of the survivors. (To be continued.) )
