Chapter 40: The Pit Daddy's Relief Food
Once at the base, the two had to write down their personal information in the registry. Due to the outbreak of the end times, electronic devices have been greatly paralyzed, and the information stored in the computer by human beings cannot be retrieved. The hierarchical information here is nothing more than a general summary of human resources and personal capabilities, so that everyone's strengths can be brought into play.
。 In order to be afraid of attracting the attention of others, Gu Xiaoxiao and Chen Mo's information was filled in very simply, Chen Mo wrote his name, gender, age, and previous school. Gu Xiaoxiao is even simpler, her information was written by Chen Mo with the help of her, in addition to her name, gender, age, and the rest of her academic qualifications, she directly wrote illiteracy.
The person in charge of filling in the information was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl named Lu Xiaoxiao.
It is not easy to find an illiterate person in these years, except for the aunt and uncle in their seventies and eighties, who have not received education due to historical reasons. The sixteen-year-old girl named Gu Xiaoxiao on this information form was actually illiterate, which made her look at it a few more times with curiosity, sympathized with Gu Xiaoxiao's previous experience in her heart, and automatically made up a miserable background in her brain, as tragic as it was.
Of course, Lu Xiaoxiao's brain complemented Chen Mo and Gu Xiaoxiao who didn't know.
Otherwise, Chen Mo may say: Girl, it's a pity that you don't go to be a screenwriter!
The base is divided into three areas: the military area, the rich area, and the slum area. In terms of geographical distribution, the center is the military area, the middle area is the rich area, and the outermost area is the slum area.
The slums are dominated by shantytowns, and most of them are dirty and messy. People at the bottom of society live here, not only the environment is poor, but the security is also not good. Because the people in the slums are either the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, or those who sit and wait for death, and are unwilling to go out and risk finding food, or who cannot afford to go out to find food.
Survivors in the slums, whose subsistence rations are mainly provided by the army. Every Tuesday of the week, the army distributes relief food in the largest open space in the slums.
As the name suggests, the so-called relief food exists to prevent survivors in the slums from starving to death, but it is impossible to feed them on relief food. This relief grain is mixed with all kinds of coarse rice bran, wheat, rotten vegetable leaves, weeds, tree bark, etc., ground into powder, and some yeast to ferment it to three or four times the size, and then made into a similar multigrain cake and distributed to everyone.
According to the population, a survivor can get seven pieces of this bread a week. A loaf of bread is about the size of a plate. The first reaction of the newcomer to this cake is to be happy, because in terms of the size of the cake, it is not a problem to save some food on such a cake. But the survivors who actually ate the loaves knew very well that the loaves were not actually hungry at all. After the cake is fermented, there are many large pores, and weeds and bark are added as fillers, so there is not much heat at all.
The actual calories of a multigrain cake can only top half a loaf of bread.
Therefore, it is very difficult to get through the day with a multigrain cake. Survivors should reduce their daily exercise so as not to use up their energy too much. Most survivors have eaten multigrain cakes every day and choose to lie in bed to sleep, which can reduce energy consumption and make it easier to get through the day.
Some people choose to make ends meet by plundering the food rations of other survivors.
This is one of the main reasons for the chaos in the ghetto.
