Gently patted the tent,

"Who?" Zhao Xiaoqian's vigilant voice came into her ears.

"It's us!"

Inside the tent, Zhao Xiaoqian heard Shen Chen's voice, unzipped the tent, and brought the two in.

"No one is here to harass you!" Shen Chen asked.

Zhao Xiaoqian shook her head, "No, how about your affairs?" ”

"That's it!"

Just as Shen Chen finished answering Zhao Xiaoqian's words, a voice came from outside the tent again.

"Is Shen Chen here?"

Hearing someone call himself, Shen Chen estimated that it should be Qin Fatzi's person coming, and glanced at Li Jun, and the two walked out of the tent.

Outside the tent, two heavily armed soldiers were standing at the camp gate, one of them holding a bag in his hand. Seeing Shen Chen and the two walking out, he asked.

"Who of you is Shen Chen?"

"I am!" Shen Chen replied.

The soldier with the bag stepped forward, "This is something that Major Qin asked us to send, you can take a look!" ”

Shen Chen took the bag, opened it, and saw that it contained white rice.

Seeing Shen Chen take the things, the two soldiers had just turned around and were about to go back to resume their lives, when they heard Shen Chen's voice behind them.

"Wait a minute, two of you!"

"What else?" One of the soldiers looked at Shen Chen a little impatiently, his eyes a little cold.

"Trouble you two to wait a minute, I'll go in and come down, I have something for you." Shen Chen explained with a smile.

After speaking, he walked into the tent, took out two plastic bags from his backpack, and in Zhao Xiaoqian's surprised gaze, he grabbed about a pound of rice from each bag and put it into two plastic bags.

handed the bag to Zhao Xiaoqian, and walked out of the tent with two plastic bags.

Seeing that Li Jun was chatting with the two soldiers, Shen Chen walked over and stuffed the two bags into the arms of the two of them.

"It's hard work, please take care of me in the future!"

The two soldiers looked at the rice in their hands, and a smile appeared on their faces, originally thinking that it was sword drudgery, but they didn't expect it to have this benefit.

"Well said! I ask the brother in charge of this side of security, pay more attention to your side! ”

"Thanks!" Shen Chen was overjoyed in his heart.

Bidding farewell to the two soldiers, Shen Chen took Li Jun back to the tent. As soon as she entered the tent, Zhao Xiaoqian had a straight face.

"Why are you giving them rice?" She asked, and Li Jun on the side was also a little puzzled.

Shen Chen looked at them and shook his head, "It's not a time of peace, so if you have a good relationship with the military, maybe it will be useful in the future." ”

He didn't know that it was because of today's actions that their group of people would pick up a life in the future.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's find some firewood to cook some rice porridge first, I'm going to starve to death."

After Shen Chen said this, everyone's stomachs suddenly screamed, and then they realized that they had eaten some chocolate except for a steamed bun today, and now they are so hungry that they can't stand it.

Fortunately, there is a small stainless steel iron basin in Li Jun's backpack, according to him, which he used for cooking, and now it can be used as a pot.

Cooking a pot of rice porridge outside the tent, after being hungry for a day, Shen Chen and the others were already hungry, and they were holding plastic bags one by one, and they were not afraid of being hot and snorting and eating.

Shen Chen and the others were eating fragrantly, and suddenly a voice sounded on the opposite side: "Ah! It's so fragrant, I haven't eaten rice in a long time! ”

When a few people heard the sound and turned to look, they saw a middle-aged man coming out of the tent opposite, smashing his mouth, as if he had seen something delicious, smelling the fragrance and walking over, still holding the steamed buns distributed in his hand.

"This little brother, can I exchange a steamed bun for a bowl of rice porridge for you?"

Shen Chen looked at the middle-aged uncle who suddenly appeared, and was a little surprised, but he thought that a few people had just come here, and it was necessary to have a good relationship with the neighbors, and besides, this person looked quite kind, so he said to the middle-aged man: "Since we are neighbors, let's come and eat together, what can not be changed." ”

"Then thank you, little brother!" The middle-aged man thanked everyone and sat down opposite everyone, carefully put the steamed bun into his arms, took the rice porridge in a plastic bag from Zhao Xiaoqian's hand, and ate it with a snort.

After drinking the rice porridge in the bag in one go, the middle-aged man exhaled a long breath, licked the rice porridge in the bag with his tongue, grabbed the corner of his clothes and wiped the corner of his mouth.

"A few of you just came to the camp! My name is Sun Bairen, and I live across the street from you, and I fled here a week ago. If there's anything you want to know, just ask me, and I'll have a lot to say. ”

Shen Chen's eyes lit up, and he was thinking about how to inquire about the specific situation of this base, when Sun Bairen sent it to the door, and someone sent a pillow just after he fell asleep.

So he hurriedly said: "Uncle Sun, then you can introduce us to the situation of this base." ”

"Ahem~~" Sun Bairen coughed twice,

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he recalled: "This refuge camp, what is the air base of an air force brigade before the outbreak of the TX virus. At that time, there were nearly 10,000 troops in the base, and after the outbreak of the TX virus, many soldiers mutated, and finally stabilized the situation after paying a terrible price.

However, there were only 3,000 soldiers in the base who survived, and the mayor of W City and the police chief of W City retreated here with a group of survivors. It was also the first and largest group of survivors, numbering more than 20,000 people.

Then another army of about 500 people came with a group of survivors, and when they heard that they had also brought orders, they were told to set up a refuge camp and start a rescue, and then some survivors were rescued here one after another, and some scattered people fled here on their own.

Gradually, the population of this refuge camp also increased to about 50,000. There were probably more than 6,000 troops in the refuge camp, most of them were the original army and the police who had withdrawn, and a small number were reservists recruited later.

The leader here is a division commander of the army, as well as the mayor of W City and the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. About a few days after I arrived, there was a shortage of food in the base.

When I first arrived, I still had one meal of white rice at noon every day, and two steamed buns in the morning and two in the evening. Gradually, the white rice was gone, and then there were three steamed buns a day, and now there is only one steamed bun a day.

Originally, the small detachments sent out from the base were able to find some food from the surrounding villages and towns from time to time, but only a few days ago, the army organized an operation to rescue the survivors in the city center. I heard that the losses of the troops in this operation were a bit large, and now they are in a state of rest, and the food supply is getting less and less. After a while, if the troops do not go out to look for food, the more than 50,000 people in this refuge camp will have to go hungry. Speaking of this, Sun Bairen's eyes were full of worries about the future.
