Chapter 218: Ordinary People

The little chaos of the early morning in the Peace Garden was soon replaced by busyness.

There will never be a shortage of manpower.

In a city so big, all the things that need to be done rely on manual work, including communication with each other, and there are special people to run errands.

The communications of the J side were not used for civilian purposes, and all kinds of messages and orders were lagged behind.

There's so much to do.

Once people are aware of temporary security, they want more than just safety. Although I am still at a loss for the future, I instinctively think about the future.

Survivors bring their families with them, as well as all the guarantees they believe they will be able to survive and live safely in the future: private property.

And the dwelling they were assigned to was actually not so satisfactory.

But for now, it's bearable. It's like being able to endure the work that is being arranged now.

Hao Jie is fifty-six years old and used to be a worker. It's just that he is not a skilled worker, just a logistics worker in a small branch of a certain enterprise.

Hao Jie felt that he was very lucky, and on the day of the chaos, he was distributing sugar, one of the anti-heatstroke and cooling labor protection supplies, in the unit.

The white sugar distributed in the enterprise is a big bag of 100 catties from the factory to each branch, and the bag needs to be opened again and tossed into the food bag one by one.

Therefore, the quota is ten catties per person, but it can only be weighed according to nine and a half catties - to deduct the wear and tear of the bag, and the people who work must always have some welfare.

He also did it himself, and of course he couldn't help but boil a pot of white sugar water, which was sweet.

Although he usually hardly drinks sugar water, the sugar water at this time is sweet enough, much sweeter than the sugar water boiled out of the white sugar in his food bag.

Later, he guessed that it was the bowl of sugar water that saved him, and he knew how much sugar he added to the quick hot pot.

Then, taking advantage of the chaos, he took not only his share of sugar, but also several others, and with the help of these white sugars, he escaped the initial danger.

Later, when the city was not completely paralyzed, he drove to the provincial capital first, leaving most of the resources to the provincial capital's son's family of three.

He should have stayed in the provincial capital, but he was reluctant to live in his own home, the white sugar still in the factory, and his job.

He came back anyway.

He secretly went back to the factory again. Brought back to his home a whole bag of sugar that he had hidden in a box in his office.

The process was not thrilling because he didn't meet anyone. But it was quite scary, because the small two-story office building was full of blood and suspicious things.

Then he stayed at home honestly.

Thanks to his character, his home is not short of rice, flour, oil and salt, the refrigerator is always full, and the freezer is not only frozen from the supermarket, but also from the canteen of the unit.

Welfare cafeteria, although the food is not so delicious, but cheap. Especially the meat buns, which cost one yuan, are real meat.

There are also boxes of instant noodles and eggs. These are all given by night shift subsidies, and he will report more every month and save them.

He moved to his son until he got tired of the taste of instant noodles.

However, his character is like this, he can't eat it and doesn't want to take it back, but fortunately, he never has to worry about the expiration date, because the welfare benefits are available every month, and he can completely replace the expiration date.

So he survived these days without a hitch, until the power went out. He had no choice but to accept the bailout.

He also had enough steamed buns and eggs instant noodles, and he couldn't wait to eat people.

The only thing he regrets is not being with his son - he is alone, and he actually wants to be with his son, but his daughter-in-law doesn't like it.

Anyway, he was alone, he immediately changed his residence, and immediately signed up for the job, or logistics services, but it was a pity that he couldn't get access to the ingredients.

But it doesn't matter, there will always be a time when you can reach it.

He only brought a simple change of clothes when he came, but he didn't forget to bring his bank card and car keys, but he didn't drive the car out.

Hao Jie left a plan, once the car was driven, he couldn't say whether it would be requisitioned, but as long as he stayed where he was, he could sneak back to drive if needed.

The car was full of fuel, and he hid a barrel of oil.

Hao Jie feels that social order will be restored sooner or later, and personal private property is also inviolable, as long as it is hidden.

However, the property can still be violated without the owner, and there is no owner anyway.

So he signed up for the job of cleaning up the house, wearing a thick mask, wearing long-sleeved overalls, wearing a mask, not only cleaning up the corpses, but also putting some gadgets in the ownerless house in his pocket.

That is until he finds a small bag of red crystals with only a few grains.

He still put it away quietly, and did not touch his coat pocket again for the whole day.

Then he deliberately eavesdropped on any topic about the crystals, and was careful not to get involved, and gradually learned the usefulness of the crystals until this morning.

"You don't know, Boss Cheng used to be a top student in No. 1 Middle School. Just because her father was arrested in the research institute, she killed Liu Heizi to demonstrate, and J had to release her father. ”

"J, she dares to threaten?"

"Don't you dare, you didn't see the video, it is said that the next day of chaos she started killing people, and then she was able to absorb crystals. Hey, I've heard that she went crazy when she killed someone, and she couldn't control herself. ”

"Let's talk nonsense, I can't control myself, who controls myself? Cheng Lao can control himself mostly, and he didn't move when he was slapped by her father. ”

"You don't know, they all say it's crystal controlled."

Later, Hao Jie didn't pay attention to what he said, he was thinking about crystals, this thing can control people?

He thought of his son in the provincial capital, and remembered what his son said when he was on the phone the last time he talked to him: Dad, if you have the opportunity to get more crystals, that thing will be worth a lot in the future.

There weren't many in his pocket, only six, but he was now in charge of cleaning up.

"Hey, have you heard about the farmer's hall?"

"What's wrong with the farmer's hall?"

"You don't even know that? Just the other day, I don't know where the bird flew from......"

Hao Jie listened in surprise.

"Do you think those birds have to have crystals in their heads?"

That's right, shouldn't all those who eat mutant meat have crystals?

"Alright, alright, go to work."

Hao Jie stood up and walked out with the crowd. He already had an idea in his mind.

When he went out, he saw a familiar car driving into Heping Jiayuan, and when he saw the deputy captain in the cab, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

In recent years, only a few people dared to drive out alone.

In the community cleaned up today, Hao Jie's house was there, and Hao Jie greeted the team leader early. They are all members of their own team, and no one will search a home with an owner like this.

Hao Jie decided to go back to his house during the day and bring out something.
