Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

The two bodies were taken to a distant clearing and doused with petrol.It was burnt out quickly, and as for the ashes, they were buried under a pine and cypress tree.

"They are all poor people." After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Meng Yu, "Can you tell me about the situation of the base?"

Meng Yu nodded, "I will definitely tell you everything I know."

Everyone returned to the living room. This was the first time Meng Yu entered this wooden house. Although there was surprise in his eyes, he didn't show it. Maybe he had learned to bow his knees and hide his emotions when he was around that dude.

After everyone sat down, he still stood aside with his head bowed. Qi Yuan said that his right calf was broken and he must be uncomfortable standing for so long, but Meng Yu didn't respond. He reported the situation of the second base and the surrounding towns and villages to Everyone talked about it.

"The base is very large. It is said that it covers an area of ​​[-] square kilometers. It is about the size of a county-level city and has a large population. Except for the base management, most of the base residents live together."

"The weather has been cold in the past few years. Although there are many greenhouses in the base to grow vegetables, the output value is not high. Two years ago, food crops were no longer exchanged between several bases."

"Can the base support so many residents?"

Meng Yu shook his head, "The second base has taken in many refugees from other places. Although they are called slaves and wild dogs, the base will take them in because the person in charge of the second base is an army from the original northern Xinjiang."

No wonder.

"As far as I know, two years ago, the base in southern Xinjiang drove many refugees away, and those refugees went to northern Xinjiang. The second base took in some of them. Although they lived in a shed, they had a shelter from the wind and rain. It's just that Liu Shao and the others like to go to the refugee den to find new slaves, and the base doesn't strictly control these things, so they are even more unscrupulous."

Everyone was a little surprised, "So, the second base is not bad, and it really has to be done by the military."

"Natural disasters are frequent, and it is very conscientious to be able to do this. The bases established by those unscrupulous businessmen are blood-sucking camps. What about towns? Are there many people in towns?"

Meng Yu nodded, "The town is actually similar to a refugee camp. Most residents don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. The bark and leaves around them have been scraped off. Many people live on leaf porridge."

"Does the official distribution of food?"

"As long as you have an ID card, everyone can go to receive relief food every month, but it is only three catties. Most of the relief food is rice bran, pancakes made of wheat bran. By the way, there are several greenhouses in the base, which are specially used for Raise insects, grind them into powder, mix them with Guanyin soil to make mud cakes, a piece of mud cake can last for several days, it is very cost-effective, just eat mud cakes, people's stomach will become very big, Liu Shao said those Humans are pot-bellied wild boars, but I heard from doctors that if you eat too much Guanyin soil, you will get flatulence."

Ye Fu frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable in her stomach, not because she was hypocritical, but because she thought of herself in her previous life.

"What kind of bugs are you talking about?"

Meng Yu pursed his lips, "Some are tree worms. Tree worms are kept in rotten wood. They are big and nutritious. This kind of tree worms are for the people above. Refugees and residents eat other insects, including cockroaches. There are also moths, these two reproduce quickly and do not pick the environment."

After Meng Yu finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

"Before the cold air landed, how did the base deal with it?" Ye Fu asked.

"A lot of people died that time. All the tree bugs kept in the greenhouse were frozen to death, and the base suffered a lot. It was cold during that time, and most people hid in their houses. Many people died of the cold, especially the refugee nest. Those who live in greenhouses don’t have many survivors.”

Mentioning this, Ye Fu didn't ask any more questions.

"Do you know the Meilin Snow Waterfall?"

Meng Yu nodded, "I've heard that when the weather is good, those people would drive around. I've heard about this place, and it seems that there is a plum forest there."

Ye Fu nodded, "How to deal with the people who died in the base?"

Meng Yu thought for a few seconds, "There are two theories. If the person died of illness, they should be thrown into a mass grave. If they died of freezing and starvation, they should be thrown into a greenhouse. It is said that there is a greenhouse in the base, and some livestock are fed with dead people. It’s all hearsay, there’s no evidence, I’m not particularly clear about this.”

Ye Fu smiled, "Understood, sit down, enjoy the fire, don't be so restrained."

Meng Yu seemed to be very afraid of Ye Fu. After he sat down, he still lowered his head. He didn't hide anything from what everyone asked and what he answered.

Ye Fu couldn't judge whether the Second Base was good or bad just because of Meng Yu's words. It is true that the Second Base has done a better job than Tal Base in providing asylum for refugees.

Qi Yuan built a wooden bed for Meng Yu in the firewood room. There was no fireplace in the firewood room, and there was only an oven for him to keep warm. Although he woke up, his calf was broken and his body was bruised in many places. In principle, he temporarily stayed in the woodshed to recuperate.

Everyone still has a lot of work to do, from cleaning to washing clothes and cooking, Ye Fu has arranged work for everyone, and the outside has become quiet in the past two days, and the sound of racing cars at the Yuanhe Dam has disappeared.

Officer Song and Qi Yuan are used to patrolling the island every day, and people should not be too comfortable, otherwise they will not know how they will die.

On this day, Ye Fu was still busy in the warehouse, when he heard the sound of "dong dong dong" running, then the door of the warehouse was opened, and Qi Yuan came in from outside, panting.

"Ye Fu, something is wrong."

Ye Fu glanced at him, and continued to work on his hands.

"The sky is falling?"

"That's not the case. Brother Song and I salvaged two more corpses."

Ye Fu nodded, "A slave washed down from Yuanhe Dam again? Burn it clean and bury it."

Qi Yuan waved his hand, "It's different this time, those two corpses don't look like slaves, you should go and have a look."

Ye Fu called Jiang Rong, and went to the shore with Qi Yuan. There were a few people standing on the shore. They were Officer Song, Tang Yizheng and Meng Yu. Meng Yu's leg was lame, and Officer Song gave him some experience in walking with a limp. , The two get along quite harmoniously. It seems that everyone does not particularly reject him.

"It was also caught in the weeds?"

Officer Song nodded, "This man was bound by water plants in the weeds, and the other man rushed to the bank and was caught between two pine and cypress trees. Judging by the swelling of the body, he should have died within two days."

Ye Fu rubbed his chin, "Meng Yu, do you recognize these two?"

Meng Yu stared blankly at the man whose limbs were entwined by water plants. His face was swollen like a pig's head, his clothes were in tatters, and there was a Guanyin jade plaque hanging around his neck. Well, there were many wounds on his body, which were a bit horrible.

"I recognize these two people." Meng Yu was trembling all over, and even his voice was trembling. He pointed to the man wearing the jade plate and said, "This is Young Master Liu, my master."

"Ex-master." He hastily changed his words.

Ye Fu blinked, "Who do you say he is?"

"Liu Cheng, the son of Liu Song, director of the Resident Management Office of the Second Base."
