Chapter 293: Windfall 2
The food that Xiao Tao gave to her mother and daughter was only steamed buns, which was equivalent to a large bowl of rice and shredded potatoes that could hold a plate. The girl ate another steamed bun after eating half a bowl of rice and a small half plate of shredded potatoes, but it was clear that she hadn't eaten enough.
The girl licked her lips and looked at the bowl of cold gruel and cold steamed buns but did not move, but looked back at the bearded middle-aged man on the bed.
Xiao Tao understands in seconds, the bowl of cold gruel and cold steamed buns are estimated to be the breakfast of the bearded middle-aged. He was a little sick and didn't eat breakfast, but the mother and daughter didn't share his breakfast, but kept it for him.
Xiao Tao looked at the middle-aged appearance of the woman taking care of the beard, and there was a trace of doubt in her heart.
In my impression, the bearded middle-aged man had a very bad attitude towards the mother and daughter. Not to mention that he only cares about his own food, and often snatches the breakfast of the mother and daughter and swallows it into his stomach, just to say that he often beats and scolds the mother and daughter. Xiao Tao really doesn't understand, why does the mother and daughter treat the bearded middle-aged so well?
In addition, Xiao Tao looked at the mother and daughter carefully. Since the last time they met, so many days have passed, and the beard is middle-aged and sick, and the mother and daughter will no longer be snatched by him, nor will they be beaten and scolded by him again. The scars on the mother and daughter have healed, and there are no traces at all. Xiao Tao found that the mother and daughter's skin was actually very clean and fair. It's just that the mother and daughter didn't grow any flesh at all in this period of life, and they were still so thin and thin.
Also, on weekdays, one gruel and one steamed bun a day are not guaranteed, and it is not easy to eat a bowl of gruel and a steamed bun every day, but this amount is actually full of pitiful, how can it make people grow meat. Not to mention growing meat, anyone who eats this every day will be malnourished. However, the fair skin of the mother and daughter is clearly different from the men and women in the tent area whose faces are obviously yellow. Is this also a natural beauty?
Looking at the girl's height, she is not as tall as Bao'er, and it is estimated that she is not as big as Bao'er, and she is only three or four years old. A little girl of three or four years old can eat half a bowl of rice, half a plate of shredded potatoes and a steamed bun in one meal, which seems to be a bit large? The main thing is that I haven't eaten enough. This made Xiao Tao's inner doubts even worse.
If it was Bao'er, she could eat a large bowl of rice in one meal and even sometimes add rice, which was equivalent to an adult's meal. But there is a premise, no. There are two, one is that she is like her father, she has inherited the excellent genes of Hu Hansan's large amount of food, and she eats more than children of the same age, and her little face is also round. The second and most important point. Bao'er has evolved, and as an Adept, the amount of food has increased.
The current conditions are not allowed, otherwise this girl's food is estimated to be on par with Bao'er. If she has been hungry for a long time, she finally got so many meals, and she was too happy to eat more. But there was no adverse reaction to seeing that she ate too much. There is only one explanation. Could it be that this little girl is also a stranger?
After the woman took care of her beard and finished middle age, she finally began to eat. She was not ambiguous, and seeing that the girl was not yet full, she set aside a small portion of the meal and gave it to the girl, and then chewed the rest carefully and swallowed it into her stomach. These distinctions are not enough, the woman and the child still broke the cold steamed bun left for the bearded middle-aged man and ate it in half.
After the woman finished eating, she brought the bowl of cold gruel to the bedside and gave him two mouthfuls with a bearded middle-aged mouth. However, the bearded middle-aged man was unable to swallow at all, and most of the two mouthfuls of porridge were put into the woman's mouth and flowed out again.
The woman was not annoyed, and carefully wiped the mouth of the bearded middle-aged man with a towel, and then continued to feed the middle-aged bearded man porridge. Straight fed a small half bowl. There wasn't much that the middle-aged man really swallowed, so the woman sighed and withdrew her hand.
The woman who had half a bowl of porridge left behind put it back on the table. The mother and daughter did not share the rest of the porridge.
Xiao Tao has been watching from the sidelines.
The mother and daughter are not bad at bearded middle-aged, but they are not brainless either. The bearded middle-aged man really can't eat, so they will eat his share of food. However, they only divided his steamed buns, and the porridge was still fed to the bearded middle-aged man as much as possible. I can't feed it once, and it seems that I plan to save the rest for a later time.
"We ...... Weird, right? The woman suddenly spoke softly, and her eyes also looked at Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the woman sitting on a stool, she also motioned for her to come and sit down beside the woman. However, Xiao Tao did not answer the woman.
The woman herself continued, "You must have seen it. That's right, our mother and daughter are also supernatural. ”
Little Peach nodded. And so it was.
The woman looked back at the bearded middle-aged man on the bed and said, "Actually, he treats us well." ”
Xiao Tao didn't agree with it, but she didn't wait for her to refute. The woman raised her hand to stop Xiao Tao.
The woman told a story.
At that time, the Red Star base had just been established. The mother and daughter and another mother and son thought about it, and they were the first ordinary survivors of the Red Star Base to be blessed. Luckily, they were brought back to the base by the soldiers after being rescued on the way to the base.
However, when they arrived at the base, those soldiers couldn't take care of them as ordinary people.
The conditions at the base were nowhere near as good as they had imagined. It's just an abandoned old military site. The location is far away from the city, and there are many fewer zombies. But except for a two-story cement building on top of an air-raid shelter. That is, outside the main building of the current base, there is no building on the base that can accommodate people. At that time, everyone crowded into the underground bomb shelter.
The underground bomb shelter here is very large, which extends in all directions, and there are many tunnels. Out of caution, everyone naturally explored the tunnels. Some tunnels connected to other bomb shelters, and they found other exits, the farthest one leading to a small town dozens of miles away. Unfortunately, they didn't find any food, only some old weapons.
In the end, everyone basically sealed the other exits to prevent zombies from getting into those places, leaving only the tunnel exit to the town unsealed. The main purpose is to be able to search for supplies in the town through the guò tunnel.
The early stages of the base were very difficult. But the soldiers still tried to take care of the survivors who had taken refuge at the base. In terms of food, it has always been what the soldiers eat, and even sometimes the supplies are insufficient, and the soldiers do not eat, so they have to be distributed to the survivors first.
On weekdays, the soldiers naturally have to go outside often to search for supplies. Even with sufficient weapons and ammunition, this work is after all risking your life. When encountering hordes of zombies, they are not afraid of ammunition, and only care about rushing forward in the rain of bullets. Zombies rushed up in droves, scratching and gnawing with their hands and mouths as soon as they got close. Gradually, more soldiers went on missions and fewer and fewer returned.
Sometimes the situation is dire. The soldiers finally picked up a life and came back, but they couldn't bring back the supplies and returned empty-handed.
In general, the manpower and material resources of the base have always been in a state of consumption. The soldiers don't go out on missions, and they will soon run out of supplies. They went out to do tasks, and the supplies they exchanged for their lives could not catch up with the consumption of the base. There are also a large number of survivors who spontaneously rushed to the base one after another when they heard the news. There are more and more people. But it is even more difficult to make ends meet. For a while, the soldiers' will was very depressed.
I don't know which ordinary survivor took the lead, and he stood up and said that he would also go out with the soldiers to do the mission. Soldiers are also human beings, everyone is equal in the last days, everyone is two arms and two legs, and there is no reason for soldiers to feed them dry.
That man's words undoubtedly warmed the hearts of the soldiers.
However. Some people take the lead, but no one follows. Most of the ordinary survivors in the base were reluctant to take that risk. Why did they come to the base, isn't it just to seek shelter from the base, so that they don't have to beg for a living under the mouth of the zombies. Now that there are so many people in the base, they can't stand up to be the hero themselves. Anyway, everyone's mentality is to rely on others.
They didn't stand up, and even started complaining.
The soldiers who set up the base did not want to create better living conditions for everyone. They all did their best. Those cold words were heard in their ears and hit them hard.
Originally, the ordinary survivor who took the lead was kind and righteous, but he accidentally became a fuse and faintly planted a mine in the base.
Although the soldiers were a little cold-hearted, they still worked desperately to create conditions for the base. In the end, there are some ordinary people who stand up. Go out and work hard with the soldiers. These people lived and died with those soldiers, and gradually became closer to those soldiers. However, although these people have courage, their minds are much more complicated than those of soldiers. Among them, there are only a few who can truly dedicate themselves to others.
Some people risked their lives to go out to do tasks, and many of the materials they got were hidden privately and not handed in. The soldiers knew, but acquiesced. After all, compared to those ordinary survivors who have always relied on the soldiers to feed, these people are better used for their own use of the materials they have contributed to them. Not to mention that they helped, they finally lightened the burden on the soldiers.
It's not easy to learn well, but it's fast to learn bad. The human heart is made of flesh, and it grows in the human body, and it is all toward its own flesh. The selfishness of one or two quickly spread. In the end, a silent rule was formed. Ordinary people can follow the soldiers out to do tasks, and they can keep some of the materials privately without handing them over. And the treatment of the soldiers and these ordinary people who went out to do tasks has gradually improved. Or rather, their treatment has always been like that, but the treatment of ordinary people who can't do anything has become sloppy.
The base gradually formed a kind of division between the rich and the poor. This is no longer the same as the original intention of the base. The survivors who have taken refuge in the base gradually begin to accumulate stress and resentment in their disappointment. They didn't dare to go out and fight the zombies, but they dared to make trouble in the base.
A group of people joined forces and did not dare to really clash with the military side. But dare to rob those who have been on a mission. These people are not stupid, there are many people who come to rob, they can only swallow their anger in front of them and let others slaughter them, and as soon as they turn around, they will immediately go to the soldiers to report. Those people have been on missions for a long time, and they have also mixed a few good brothers among the soldiers. Naturally, the military side is also oriented towards them. However, by the time they brought the soldiers to the mountains to crusade against those who made trouble, they had already eaten a share of the looted food on the spot. I don't want to come back at all.
It's just one or two times, and after a long time, things get bigger and bigger.
In order to give those on duty the ability to protect their supplies, the military allowed those to return to the base and not hand in their weapons. Originally, I also thought that with weapons in their hands, the people who came to rob would be afraid and would not dare to rob them. As a result, I don't know whether those people who thought that the people who went out on the mission did not dare to really shoot or rob it, or whether those who went out on the mission had the intention to retaliate. In the end, there was bloodshed in the base.
The scarlet is eye-catching, and now there is a complete commotion in the base. I won't go into the details of the chaotic incidents. In short, in the end, the base completely divided the crowd. All of the ordinary survivors who did not contribute were removed from the main building and sheltered outside the main building. At this time, what was built was the simple mud house in the later base. Moreover, the treatment of military personnel and contributing survivors is clearly separate from that of other survivors.
In the future, this two-level division will become more and more strict.
The first turmoil in the base was that the woman was single with a child, and the mother and daughter and the woman were naturally unable to go out and do any tasks and were divided outside the main building. They had to obey silently, just trying to make a living in the base, and if they were not treated well, they would be able to survive at worst.
Who knows, they are weak and bullied. The survivors outside the main building are gradually forming a strong and a weak group. This division between the strong and the weak is nothing more than oppressing each other. As they ran out of food, some people went to snatch other people's food. The chaos between them and the people in the main building didn't care at all, which invisibly increased the arrogance of those wicked people.
The wicked men were mostly young men. Seeing that the two pairs of mother and daughter and mother and son were so oppressive, they snatched their food every day, not to mention, and finally stretched out their magic grip to the two women.
The mother and daughter were relatively lucky, and they were rescued by the bearded strong man next door. In fact, the woman has long been friendly with the bearded man, but she has not yet developed a relationship above friendship, but the two are obviously affectionate.
The wicked man and the bearded man fought and both were defeated. The wicked do it. It was too late for the woman and the bearded man, who had been wounded, to try to rescue the mother and son.
The mother and son were both wounded. The woman lay on the ground in disheveled clothes and in tatters. The child hid in the corner of the room, tears drying his face, leaving only a pair of eyes shining in the dim room, faintly revealing a hint of resentment.
The woman and the bearded man hurriedly lifted the woman on the ground and put a garment on her. After many days of recuperation, the mother and son gradually got better. The wicked people in the middle came to harass again, and it was the bearded strong man who managed to save the two women and two children, but their food was still robbed.
As soon as the two pairs of mother and daughter, mother and son, and the bearded strong man were combined, the three adults decided to go out with the army to do tasks next time. If it goes on like this, it can't be a way to live. Only by going out and fighting and succeeding, they can come back and move back to the main building with their two children. (To be continued.) )
