Before you know it, the Spring Festival of 2026 is ushered in.

The snow began to fall yesterday, and now it is getting heavier and heavier, fluttering, each snowflake is the size of a goose feather, and it is easy to cover the road with a thick blanket.

The snow blanket is quite thick, and when you step on it, you can not exceed half of your calf.

Because of the threat of alien bombardment, for fear of attracting the attention of aliens, the snow removal work was not carried out, and there was a white landscape everywhere between heaven and earth.

Cannes is still busy, there are not many pedestrians on the streets, everyone is hurrying to and fro in thick clothes, and none of them seem to be very leisurely.

The home is relatively close to the place of work, and everyone chooses to walk to work as much as possible, so it is very difficult to walk. Only if the place of work is far away from home, will they reluctantly take out a little work and take an electric bus tram.

Labor is the latest electronic currency in Cannes, the corresponding purchasing power is very high, is the only resource for people to survive under the current system, can buy or exchange for a lot of sought-after services and materials, but also from the government in exchange for subsistence food, so after the salary is in hand, everyone is reluctant to use, can save if they want to save a little, maybe when it will be urgently needed.

Everyone who has a job has a little transportation subsidy, but people are still reluctant to use it, and they all want to save a little to buy something for their home, or take advantage of today's Spring Festival to buy some fresh vegetables, and find an opportunity for the family to enjoy a slightly more hearty dinner in the evening.

Gone are the various brands of cars that used to be common on the streets, these bulky and gas-guzzling guys. It is forbidden to use it in Cannes. After the spin-off of each factory. A lot of useful resources have been dismantled, and instead of them, buses with larger passenger capacity and higher efficiency have been taken on the streets.

Because of the sudden heavy snowfall, the workers and masters in the newly established bus terminal were busy one by one, just installing new snow chains for all the buses, which tired the workers who went to work two hours in advance.

The new snow chains work well and walk on thick snow. I felt that the speed of the car was not even greatly affected, and the passengers in the car seemed to be very enthusiastic, and they talked about their respective factories, the work in the factory, the centimeters corresponding to the work, and so on.

There is only one topic that everyone knows, the Spring Festival, which everyone deeply desires, but everyone avoids talking about it.

At this time of year, everyone is struggling with the transition between life and death, although the situation in Cannes is relatively better. But it can't prepare enough manpower and material resources to live a prosperous and prosperous New Year.

Talk about this topic. It can only make everyone sad and intoxicated by the contrast between the past and the present, and it is not good for everyone.

Let's take the simplest question, the red paper couplet pasted with the couplet, there is nowhere to get it at this time, and people don't have the heart to spend their energy on this kind of thing.

More and more important things are still busy, who has the time to think about this.

Originally, when the aliens came, it was not far from the Chinese New Year, and some businessmen had already stockpiled some couplet red paper, but with the establishment of the new government, these extra things outside the body were all seized and sent to the paper mill to recycle and make new paper.

The two biggest uses of new paper are industrial paper and household paper.

Not much to say about industrial paper, but in terms of household paper, if it weren't for the recycling of a lot of old paper to make new toilet paper, I am afraid that by this time, the citizens of Cannes would have a problem even wiping their buttocks.

In the winter, even if you want to pick up some grass leaves to wipe your buttocks, you can't find a wider one.

A new era, a new life, all kinds of wastes, a thousand things, this is the kind of time. Countless messy things that seem unimportant but are very important at some point are lined up in front of the manufacturing sequence waiting for production, and even survival is almost unsustainable, and who would expect a luxurious Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?

As for the new clothes, the New Year's money or something, it seems to be a dream even more distant.

The government of the new era is a government that is far stronger than the previous government and closer to everyone's life.

For the sake of social stability and to ensure the survival of all people, it is impossible for some people to hold a large number of resources while others are penniless or even have no place to stand.

Therefore, during this time, the government spent a lot of manpower and material resources to collect most of the existing material reserves in Cannes.

All the assets of companies, enterprises, and collectives have been confiscated by the government without spending a penny, and the materials in the hands of some individuals have also been confiscated and hoarded at a conversion ratio far below the market price, and even the city's housing has been redistributed, ensuring that every registered resident can have a place to live while maintaining the density of the population and relative safety.

Such a policy naturally caused some twists and turns and turmoil when it was first implemented, but the government was determined to govern with an iron fist, and there was general support from the vast majority of the population, and some people with a lot of resources in their hands had to give in to reality even if they were no longer willing to do so.

After all, no matter how many things a person has in his hands, if he wants to really live well, he still has to exchange them with others.

Even if you hoard food in a warehouse and want to be fed, clothed and live a good life, you must exchange fuel, electricity, clothes and other materials from others, but in this era, these things are almost all controlled, and no one has much in their hands, so they can only exchange with the government if they want to exchange them.

The work that has been exchanged for it still has a lot of use, and compared with ordinary people, it has a certain resource advantage.

Zhang Long is also a supporter of this policy, of course, mainly because he does not have much cargo on hand.

Seeing that the big dogs who had hoarded a lot of supplies were slaughtered one after another, like ordinary people, Zhang Long didn't say anything on his lips, but he couldn't say anything in his heart.

Of course, he didn't know that in fact, the most people in Tun Dongtun were the big dogs within the earthling organization, and after these lucky people got things, they were transformed in the organization, and they all became the current political status, if they didn't make big mistakes, they already had a more long-term guarantee, and the community of interests in the new era was much more useful than a lot of things in Tun.

In the past few weeks, Zhang Long has actively performed and worked hard to participate in various work, so that now after Captain Zhao Hu was transferred, he has become the captain of the team, and his income has increased slightly, at least it is no problem to feed his family.

In this regard, Zhang Long is already very content.

His wife is a teacher, and now she is more responsible for educating children in the underground life circle, and even their baby can get safety and education in the underground life circle because of his mother's teaching status, which is already quite good.

In such a bad era, what more can you ask for? Know how to be content to live a happier life.

Zhang Long was concentrating on his work at this time, and their team of people happened to be digging tunnels underground today, according to the planned route, manipulating in the predetermined work area It looks sci-fi, but the operation is a simple underground excavator, at a depth of hundreds of meters underground, meticulously digging the tunnel.

It's not a hard job, but it's depressing and dangerous, and it's an important job that all the young and middle-aged laborers in Cannes rotate into.

In addition to the underground space that has been opened up before, which houses many of the high-tech processing centers that are essential to the survival of the city, as well as the core power plant that allows the city to function, a considerable part of the newly opened underground space is also used to house children, educational institutions, medical institutions, scientific research institutions, etc.

The reason why Zhang Long's wife was able to get this good job was also thanks to this policy.

"Li Xiaoqiang, I heard that you are going to change jobs after a while? What position are you going to transfer to? Pick up something you can say and talk about it!"

While I was working, I heard a teammate start a conversation.

Li Xiaoqiang is the most polite one in the team, and it is said that he went to university as a key undergraduate, studying mechanical engineering.

This kid has just graduated from college, just went home to rest for a while, and hasn't found a suitable job yet, so he has entered this new era, and the big guys have been working together for a few weeks.

Two days ago, this kid was notified that he was going to be transferred to an important unit and engaged in an important task. Li Xiaoqiang happily cashed a bottle of Erguotou directly at that time, and also exchanged a bag of peanuts to invite everyone's guests, to be honest, this is a big deal, not everyone is willing to take it out.

After several inquiries, the teammates failed to pry some wind out of this kid's mouth, and now that they are about to leave, they can't help but want to inquire about some results.

Li Xiaoqiang couldn't stand the pleading and interrogation of his teammates, so he couldn't help but push his glasses and revealed some things to his teammates that were not required to be kept secret.

"What do you think is the biggest threat we face right now?" he asked mysteriously.

"It should be a lack of supplies, right?" said a foodie teammate, "I ate organic meals fermented by microorganisms, and I wanted to vomit after eating them!"

As he spoke, he took a hard bite of the cleanly licked lunch box and ate his stomach...... The lunch box is also organic and edible, so I kept it as a snack.

"Idiot, it's an alien!"

"Alien bombing!"

Li Xiaoqiang nodded, and said with longing, "I was transferred to a military production unit, and it is said that the production is a new type of anti-aircraft artillery vehicle, which can resist alien bombardment after large-scale installation!"

"Captain Zhao Hu is said to be driving this car!" (To be continued.) )
