"Dinner is coming!"

"I've starved to death a long time ago!"

A group of big men in chef clothes, pushing dozens of huge wooden barrels with a height of one meter and a half, walked into the hall, and the crowd immediately became commotionous. However, in the reconstruction area, discipline is everywhere, and order has long been engraved in the bones. Even if you are hungry, you have to put your heart down and line up honestly.

Of course, the heavily armed soldiers nearby may also have a certain deterrent effect.

Luo Yuan also stood up and lined up with everyone.

The entire hall was crowded with thousands of people, even if there were dozens of wooden barrels, by the time Luo Yuan and his party received the food, half an hour had passed.

Dinner was two flatbreads per person, but they were not very heavy, and both of them weighed a pound together. The flatbread has a strange green color, and it obviously doesn't look like flour or anything like that.

"This is a cactus cake, judging by the way you look, you must not have eaten it." Zhao Yali saw Luo Yuan's hesitant face, and said with some taste.

Luo Yuan smiled unnaturally and asked curiously, "Cactus cake!" Cactus made? ”

He really hadn't eaten this kind of thing, he lowered his head and took a bite, chewed slowly, and found that this kind of cake had an extremely rough taste, and when he swallowed it, his throat was scratched, and it hurt a little.

With his physique, there will naturally be no phenomena such as broken skin, but it is just a self-protective pain caused by being rubbed by hard food that is far more sensitive than ordinary people.

"Since it's called cactus cake, of course it's made of cactus starch, and our factory often eats this kind of thing, steamed, boiled, and fried, anyway, we eat this kind of thing for three meals." Mu Wenwen saw Luo Yuan's embarrassed expression, and explained funny.

After entering the reconstruction area, the stable environment and peaceful life have greatly reduced her sense of insecurity, and she is much more cheerful than before, and now she can talk and laugh with everyone. Compared with the expressionless face when he fled, it was like two people. Moreover, with the change of mentality, the mysterious sense of non-existence has also faded a lot, at least the opening no longer makes people feel abrupt.

"Actually, we also eat cactus starch." Huang Jiahui explained a little embarrassedly: "It's just more fine." ”

"The difference is seven or eight times!" Wu Xiaoxiao muttered in a low voice, secretly speechless in her heart.

You must know that ordinary cactus starch is not pure, or a small amount of fiber has not been treated, although the proportion is extremely low, but this desert is full of huge plants up to hundreds of meters high, and the fibers that support the body are several times harder than that of moso bamboo, even if it has been ground into powder, it is difficult to eat. But the advantage is that the quantity is cheap, and the tube is full, and it is now a common staple food in the redeveloped area.

As for the fine first-grade special starch, it needs to be processed through more than a dozen processes, completely removing the rough fiber, the taste is almost the same as ordinary starch, and the same price is comparable to the third-level mutant beast meat, even if his husband's income is good, he is usually reluctant to buy it, as for those ordinary workers, they can't afford it at all, I didn't expect that there are still people who use it as a staple food.

Huang Jiahui's face was pale, this is to blame Luo Yuan, he is used to every meal of meat in the wild, and he still does it every day here. Three meals a day, there must be meat and vegetables at every meal, plus his recent food is too large, almost every day he has to eat five or six days of ordinary people's meals, those thousands of yuan, a huge amount of money for ordinary people, in just one month, has already been spent.

"Luo Yuan, you tell me honestly, what do you do?" Wu Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I told you a long time ago, I'm still a jobless vagrant for the time being." Luo Yuan ate quickly, swallowed the last mouthful into his stomach, took the water handed over by Huang Jiahui, drank it dry, and said helplessly.

A few women secretly laughed!

"I don't believe it, I don't want to say it." Wu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said with a breath. And the snickering of those women deepened her judgment even more.

"To be honest, you don't believe it either!" Luo Yuandao.

At this time, Secretary Zheng walked into the hall, looked around, and soon found Luo Yuan and his party through a unique soul vision, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, in his unique soul vision, Luo Yuan was like a scorching sun hanging in the sky, exuding infinite brilliance, just getting closer, it made him feel that his soul was burned. The strength is several times stronger than the last time I saw it.

How long has it been!

He quickly cleaned up his mood, and a sentimental smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Luo, I couldn't find you just now, it turns out that you are here, Mayor Wu has already arranged the room, why don't you go now?" ”

Luo Yuan was stunned for a moment, his face was given by others, but he couldn't sit and take it big, he stood up with a smile, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Secretary Zheng, won't this be too troublesome?" ”

"It's our honor to invite Mr. Luo, how can it be troublesome!" Secretary Zheng hurriedly said, a little flattered in his heart and shook his hand, although he is now in politics, he is still an evolutionary in his bones, and he is more in awe and fanatical about power than ordinary people.

"Maybe there are a lot of us? I don't know if I can arrange it! At this time, Luo Yuan said loudly, with a little embarrassment on his face.

"Is it seven, that's fine!" Secretary Zheng glanced at everyone, and said eagerly patting his chest.

To be honest, talking to such a strong person really made him a little frightened, and the gap in strength was too big, which always gave him the illusion that if he answered incorrectly, he would die on the spot.

It may be that the more you know, the more awe you become, and sometimes you are not as calm as ordinary evolutionaries.

Wu Xiaoxiao and Sun Youde looked at Secretary Zheng's enthusiastic and almost flattering expression, and the shock on their faces could hardly be concealed, what kind of person is this Luo Yuan, how can even the mayor be alarmed.

"Since Secretary Zheng is so kindly invited, let's go over." Luo Yuandao.

…………

Luo Yuan found that there was a floor below the shelter.

"This floor is mainly a warehouse, which is stocked with a lot of supplies. For example, food, drinking water, ammunition, oil, etc., in addition to some spare factories! Even if the shelter is completely closed, it can survive for half a year to a year. Secretary Zheng said.

Seeing everyone's strange faces, Secretary Zheng hurriedly said: "Of course, the ammunition depot is far away from the residential area, and there are enough isolation facilities, even if it explodes, it will not be affected, so there is no need to worry about it at all." ”

Hearing Secretary Zheng's explanation, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, anyone who knew that they were sleeping near the ammunition depot would probably be scared and couldn't sleep.

"Secretary Zheng, do you know what's going on outside?" At this time, Zhao Yali couldn't help but ask.

Luo Yuan was also a little curious, this time the matter is so big, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter, if it doesn't work, Desert Earth City will fall.

Secretary Zheng paused when he heard this, and his face hesitated for a long time before he whispered: "This matter is a secret, you must not spread it, so as not to cause panic among the people!" ”

Everyone's hearts sank, and they quickly nodded.

"We received the news from above, a super insect tide will pass through here, the war at the front has started a few days ago, but the news is very unfavorable, once the front line falls, Desert Earth City may be temporarily abandoned."

Luo Yuan's face was a little solemn: "In other words, we will stay here for a long time." ”

The faces of the crowd are also ugly!

"It is possible, but it is also possible that when the situation deteriorates, retreat to the rear cities." Secretary Zheng said: "After all, the population of Desert Earth City is nearly 100,000, and there are so many machines and equipment, once they lose maintenance, they will soon rust and be scrapped, and they should definitely not be wasted." ”

Although the reconstructed area has recovered a certain amount of productivity, it cannot be compared with the pre-apocalyptic era, and even some equipment cannot be produced at all, and each set is rescued from the occupied area at a huge cost of manpower and material resources. Especially with the passage of time, the equipment in the occupied area has been gradually corroded and destroyed, and it is no longer possible to search for materials and equipment as at the beginning.

"But there is only one double line of underground trains, and there are only two freight cars, how can it be possible to transport so many people and machinery in a short period of time." Sun Youde said sensitively in his heart, and his face turned pale.

He was a man who had experienced the Great Migration, and was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope. He is deeply aware of the cruelty of life and death. Machines are preferred, talents are preferred, women and children are preferred.

At that time, countless people were brutally abandoned, the rebels were killed by machine guns, and countless people died on the way to migration, being eaten by wild beasts, that cruel scene is often recalled in nightmares to this day.

Although the reconstruction area is relatively safe now, there will always be a priority when it comes to a critical moment.

But then he thought about it, and now his identity was different, and it was important enough to be the first migration. Sun Youde couldn't help but relax a lot in his heart!

Secretary Zheng secretly glanced at him with dissatisfaction, and said: "This is just my speculation, the specific situation depends on the change of the situation and the decision from above, even if the situation deteriorates sharply, at least the shelter is still very safe, even if all of them cannot be moved, the rest of the people, with the material reserves here, can live for half a year to a year, such a long time, enough for the reconstruction area to recover the lost land." ”

Everyone's hearts also relaxed, after all, no matter how the situation deteriorates, it will not deteriorate anywhere, at least it is safe here.

The group continued to walk for a few more minutes, and then stopped near a warehouse, Secretary Zheng opened the door, and inside was a room of thirty or forty square meters: "This was originally an office area, but later I felt that it was too big, and most of it was converted into a dormitory, Mr. Luo, you live here, hot water and meals will be delivered soon, if you still need anything, you can find me, I am in room 2033 nearby, of course, you can also directly find Mayor Wu, we have a room." ”

"We've already ......" Wu Xiaoxiao was just about to say that she had already eaten, but she was pulled by Huang Jiahui, and she suddenly realized that she quickly closed her mouth.

Huang Jiahui knew that with Luo Yuan's amazing amount of food, he hadn't eaten enough cactus cake before, and he was originally going to give him the rest of his piece, but since he would send the food over, how could there be any reason to refuse.

When Secretary Zheng left, the group walked into the room, which was arranged like a student dormitory, with eight beds in a small space, enough to accommodate everyone, and in addition, there was a bathroom inside.

Although the place is simple, in this kind of shelter with a narrow space and overcrowded, it is impossible to ask for much, and even some luxury.

"I didn't ask just now, Huo Dong said that he would arrange the room, why did you follow Secretary Zheng over?" Huang Jiahui pulled Luo Yuan over and asked in a low voice.

"I want to arrange a room in the shelter, he is new to the house, he can't have such power, I guess he should be standing behind him this time!" Luo Yuan explained that he had been here for so long, and his name had already been registered in the high-level of Desert Earth City, and it would be strange if there was no military to come and woo him.

"Do you have an opinion about the military?" Huang Jiahui wondered.

"Of course not, it's just that the other side is more familiar and easier to deal with." Luo Yuan said with a smile.

The army has a tough work style, and it is its duty to take orders, which has penetrated into its bones. Especially in today's environment, in the eyes of the military, the whole people have long been soldiers, and the distinction between military and civilian has become extremely blurred. Once the wooing fails, under the conflict of ideas, I am afraid it will be difficult to have room for turnaround. In contrast, the government is more tactful and easier to deal with.

To tell the truth, he has long been used to being free and casual, and it is really difficult for him to adapt to the disciplined life in the barracks, and on the battlefield, no matter how strong his personal strength is, it seems small. However, Luo Yuan didn't expect that even if he consciously avoided it, the trouble he should encounter would still not be avoided after all!

Less than five minutes after entering the door, there was a sudden knock at the door.
