After handling the daily life of these survivors, Lu Yiming returned to his residential area. Along the way, he saw two men fighting each other over a pack of instant noodles, because one person accidentally knocked over the other's instant noodles when he was passing by.

Because of the contradiction caused by such a small thing, it may have been unimaginable before. But it's happening all the time now.

Walking into the 56 community, stretching his waist, all kinds of trivial things at the end of the day are simply tired enough, Lu Yiming urgently needs to relax and relax his body.

Otherwise, in the long run, people may have to suffer from depression.

"Mom!"

"Coming back? Dine! ”

His mother was listening to a loudspeaker on the community playground announcing today's rainfall and the number of rescuers: "Welcome to the 7 p.m. news broadcast, the total number of survivors rescued today is 678, including 328 men and 350 women......

When someone is rescued, the group of people listening to the radio always seem happy, as if there is real hope for humanity.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but feel a little funny, human beings are really a combination of angels and demons.

In fact, today's rescue numbers are much lower than last week or last week, when the floods first few weeks were able to save thousands of people every day.

But in recent days, as the flood waters have expanded, the number of people rescued has become dwindling, which means that the number of survivors outside is dwindling dramatically.

Of course, these survivors, regardless of the number of trees, are able to satisfy the compassion of ordinary people as long as someone can be rescued.

Lu Yiming's mother is a member of the crowd, she is not a person of high moral character, just an ordinary citizen.

Her way of thinking is also quite simple: since she has been given a chance to survive, she naturally hopes that more people can be rescued, which is originally a very simple idea of mutual assistance.

"It's back!"

"Coming back?"

These distant relatives all lived in the same community, and after seeing Lu Yiming, they all greeted each other in a friendly manner.

They all got on the ship through tickets, and their living conditions were better than those of ordinary residents, and their attitude towards Lu Yiming was naturally grateful.

"Second uncle, third uncle...... Hello! Lu Yiming smiled and nodded, which was regarded as a return salute.

These relatives have been in the shelter for so long, and they are naturally not as ignorant as they were at the beginning, from the shock and happiness at the beginning, to the loss and even despair at the back. I've experienced all kinds of emotions.

But whether you accept it or not, it has become like this......

There are many people who have become reticent, even distracted, and have not responded to their calls for a long time, completely losing their motivation to work. This pervasive state of mind lasted until the Vault announced that more survivors were being saved, and everyone cheered up.

But it's normal to think about it, people are social creatures, and everyone has their own social circle. Even, these social circles can be said to be an important part of "self-existence". The social circle of otaku is games, anime, novels; Some of the social circles of the elderly are square dancing and mahjong; The social circle of a normal white-collar worker is colleagues, friends, and so on.

When these circles suddenly disappear and can no longer be found, no matter who feels a deep loneliness and uneasiness.

Fortunately, with the passage of time, this difficult time has slowly survived, and living is the greatest truth, everyone always accepts the reality and tries to rebuild the entire civilization.

The presence of these distant relatives also increases the sense of security in the hearts of parents. In their opinion, the blood relationship is the most stable, and it is actually not bad to have these relatives help each other.

Back home, Lu Yiming picked up the rice bowl on the table, took a few bites, and asked, "Dad, where did you go?" ”

"Your dad and your brother-in-law went to fix the water pipes...... The water pipe on the 12th floor suddenly leaked and is being repaired. While listening to the tape recorder, my mother said, "They want to join the temporary maintenance team and become a worker, and they won't have anything to eat in the future." ”

"Anyway, I used to do this kind of manual work, but now I am in good health, and I want to continue to participate in the work."

"Oh, that's good. He can go if he wants. Lu Yiming said.

According to his current status, the people in the maintenance team also know him, and it is unlikely that he will arrange particularly heavy physical work for his father.

The old mother said again: "Your sister-in-law and I want to find something to do, and we have nothing to do here when we are idle...... Being a cleaner or edging worker is a small favor. ”

Edging refers to the use of sewing machines to process cloth into clothing, a rudimentary handicraft industry.

"As for Ye Qingqing...... Just go back to school. Community schools have been set up, temporary teachers are available, and children can continue to attend school and maybe go to university. ”

Lu Yiming sighed, the term university ...... It's just too far away.

In reality, there is no real university inside the Vault.

Regarding his parents' own choice, Lu Yiming did not object: "If you are really idle, then go and help, find some new friends, and start a new life." ”

It is indeed good to have a job, even if the current job is basically voluntary labor, at most there will be no more economic benefits from eating an extra boxed lunch, because the old money system has long been scrapped, and the new economic system has not yet been established.

But whether or not you have a job, the mental state of the person will be completely different.

With nothing to do at home and closed information, it is inevitable that you will be cranky and fall into a state of pessimism. On the contrary, after participating in the work, you can expand your circle, make new friends, and your psychological condition will be better.

So Lu Yiming didn't stop his parents' decision, he raised his head again and said: "But you're not too young, let's talk to the team leader, try to be on the day shift, it's too hard to be on the night shift." There is no need for this. ”

"To restart civilization, you still have to be young."

Yes, rebuilding civilization has become a priority at the moment!

The old social order has to be rebuilt, including the education system, basic social welfare, economic system, monetary system, health care system, etc. Only by doing so can we provide a real sense of security to all and return to normal life.

However, post-disaster reconstruction is not so easy.

First and foremost, the safety of the shelter is the first issue.

The first time such a large shelter is used, there are no major problems, there will always be some small leaks, what water pipes are broken, leaking, or where the air conditioner or dehumidifier is broken, these big and small problems will occur almost every hour, bringing trouble to life.

In addition, the current heavy rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there must be patrols 24 hours a day, and if a certain material warehouse accidentally gets into the water, it will be a big problem, so the patrol team is constantly expanding.

The second is the public security environment, the current public security environment is too poor, people do not trust each other, petty theft, or there are too many fights. There are only a few people like Lu Yiming who have many relatives, and most of them have no connections.

There are many angels and many demons in the refuge, and they are only exchanged in a single thought. A person is very compassionate, but that doesn't stop him from stealing.

There are even an endless stream of supernatural events...... Don't think that if an S-class disaster breaks out, other disasters won't be born. This is especially a matter of caution.
