Chapter Seventy-Six: A Difficult Base
"Do you have any clothes in your car?" Bai Baiyun said angrily when he heard this.
"Clothes? What clothes? The young officer was stunned.
"Of course it's the clothes you're wearing, you broke Lao Tzu's clothes, don't you want to pay for it?" Bai Yunyun said viciously.
"Compensation? Ah, of course, pay for it, pay it right away, Shun Yu, you go to the car right away, give this... This comrade came over with a spare military uniform to wear. Hearing this, the young officer hurriedly said, "That... Comrades, your situation is really special, so let's wait here for now, let me go back and report the situation, please... Please give the leader's instructions. ”
After the young officer finished speaking, he didn't wait for Loulan and them to reply, turned around and ran towards the armored car, not even caring about the soldiers under his command.
"I said, comrade officer, don't forget to show my letter to your leaders," Loulan said in a loud voice behind him.
The young officer walked for a full two hours, and the time was almost noon, so Loulan and the others had to arrange lunch first, ready to eat and wait.
Loulan and their entire team now have nearly sixty people in total, except for a few members of Loulan's team who have something to do, the others are basically in a state of idleness, and they are just spending their minds on eating.
In the past few days, every time they are ready to eat, these people have come to the spirit, they don't need to do it at all, they take care of everything, steaming steamed buns, cooking rice, boiling fish and stew, stir-frying vegetables and soup, dozens of people get started together, each time they have to make dozens of dishes to finish, in order to eat richly, they also asked to stop many times on the way forward, ran to the restaurant on the side of the road to collect a lot of professional kitchen utensils and stoves, full of a whole small truck.
The same is true today, this is said to have lunch, in less than half an hour, the gang set up three large stoves, more than a dozen women are busy sorting out the ingredients, and the three middle-aged men are very professional chef clothes, and they start to stir-fry all kinds of stir-frying.
In this part of China, if a man is middle-aged, as long as he is not too successful, he will have a few good dishes, and these three buddies can stand out from so many people and take on the responsibility of being in charge, of course, they are the best among them, especially the fish-flavored shredded pork made by one of the buddies, which is simply delicious to burst, and each time at least three plates must be fried to be enough for everyone to eat.
With the tinkling of the busy work, in less than half an hour, more than 40 dishes with all colors and flavors were successfully completed and served on the long strip-shaped table that had been set up a long time ago.
Those who didn't have the opportunity to cook on the stove were not idle, and their minds were all spent on other places: neat tables and chairs, beautiful tableware, white tablecloths, fresh fruits, and mellow wines, all set up early, waiting to be eaten.
As the last dish was served on the table, lunch officially began, because everyone was in a very good mood as they were about to enter the seaside base, and they were talking and laughing while eating and chatting, sweeping away the pessimism of the past few days.
After lunch, the news finally came from the base: the base welcomes all survivors to enter, even if there are zombies in the team, it doesn't matter, because the military has done experiments, the sea is deadly to zombies, once the zombies enter the base range, they will lose their ability to move and die quickly.
Of course, the base also put forward requirements: the base is limited, no vehicles are allowed to enter, and civilians cannot possess guns, and the people of Loulan must hand in all firearms, and the vehicles are off the road for storage or destruction.
In addition, Loulan was also asked to go to the command center of the base immediately, and the commander-in-chief of the base, General Luo Pengfei, wanted to see him immediately.
The conditions proposed by the base are very reasonable, and everyone in Loulan is happy to accept it, the only problem is that Bai Baiyun and his fiancée cannot enter the base, but Loulan currently just needs someone to guard his pea shooter chariot outside, and it is also a good choice to leave Bai Baiyun outside to watch the car.
After driving all the vehicles off the road, the group entered the seaside base under the protection of military armored vehicles.
After entering the base, everyone was ecstatic, glad that they had finally survived the disaster, and when they learned that there were as many as 50 million survivors in the entire Huaxia Kingdom, they were even ready to look for relatives and friends who might survive.
However, the reality is that the situation is much worse than they imagined, except that there are no zombies, and the other living conditions in the base are very bad:
First of all, there is no place to live, in order to ensure survival, except for the beach by the sea, almost all the available land must be used to grow crops, which leads to almost all the survivors can only live on the boat, and at this time, in addition to living, the boat has a more important purpose, which is fishing.
There are nearly two million survivors in the entire Kyoto seaside base, and the problem of eating with so many mouths cannot be solved by planting alone, and more than half of the people would starve to death without the fishery resources in the sea.
Although there are thousands of vessels, fishing boats account for more than half.
Excluding fishing boats, a large part of what remains is private yachts or commercial cruise ships, which are affiliated with private individuals or cruise companies, although it is the end of the world, but the government is still there, the law is still there, and the military cannot force them to take in other survivors, but can only exchange fuel and food and other necessities to give them some living space for others.
In this way, the only ones that can accommodate ordinary survivors are ocean-going freighters and warships under the names of state-owned enterprises and the military, although these ships are all of the level of 10,000-ton giant ships, it is difficult to fully accommodate a large number of survivors, so everyone's living space is almost compressed to the extreme---- a 1.2 m * 2 m bed, or at least five floors of bunk beds, each floor is only half a meter high.
In addition to the problem of housing, there is also the more serious problem of food, which torments every survivor almost every day.
Those survivors who already have fishing boats or cruise ships can get food from the ocean, so they can live a decent life, while those who have nothing have to work hard to find a job or even a few jobs to barely eat.
Because there are more people and less work, the competition has even reached a white-hot level, take the work of the most sought-after fishing boat sailor as an example, working 16 hours a day, but the salary is only five catties of fresh fish, and every time he returns from the sea, he immediately loses his job, and if he wants to continue working, he must compete for a job again.
Life is extremely difficult, and the vast majority of people can only survive with handouts from the military.
Fortunately, the Chinese military still adheres to the consistent excellent style and provides a glimmer of life for everyone!
In order to avoid starvation, the military provided all survivors with a standard meal of seaweed or kelp mixed with surimi, weighing about 100 grams, once a day in the morning and evening, and the requirement to receive it was that they must eat it all on the spot, and if they wanted to eat better, they had to find a way to do it themselves.
