Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

"Why don't we salvage them and cremate them? If we let them float downstream, let alone pollute the water source, it's really pitiful."

Moreover, they have no clothes on them, they are all compatriots, and no one can bear to let their corpses be exposed in the water if they are able.

Ye Fu nodded, "Salvage it."

There was an earthen pit for burning corpses on the small island. After six corpses were salvaged, it was discovered that the dead were all older people, both male and female, who looked at least five or sixty years old.

Qi Yuan didn't want Xuxu to watch the cremation scene, but Xuxu was bold and showed no fear on his face.

Everyone silently put the body into the pit, put some firewood, and then poured gasoline.

"The ones who died were all old people. There were no wounds on their bodies. Could it be food poisoning?"

Ye Fu looked at Qi Yuan, "How to say?"

"I saw them just now. Their faces were blue and their lips were black. They looked like symptoms of poisoning."

Ye Fu didn't look carefully just now, and actually missed such an important detail.

"It is possible that the people in the refugee camp can't eat enough with three catties of relief food. They will go to the mountains around Haguang City to dig roots or pick leaves. The forests around Haguang City are almost bare. If they If you eat poisonous plants, you may die from poisoning."

"If that's the case, it's too pitiful."

After being burned, some of the ashes were collected and buried on pine and cypress trees, and the other part was sprinkled into the stream to let them float down.

The ashes are not contaminated, so they can be sprinkled in water.

After returning to the wooden house, other people came to ask what happened, and Qi Yuan told what happened just now.

Qi Yuan rubbed his face, "I hope the polar night will end soon. If the sun doesn't shine, the trees will die from lack of oxygen. At that time, life will be more difficult for the more than [-] people in the refugee camp."

"There is a very serious problem. If the roots, leaves, and bark cannot be dug around Haguang City, refugees may reach out to the base or Haguang City. More than [-] refugees, not one For a small amount, once a person is extremely hungry, he can do anything." After Ye Fu finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd.

"Natural disasters are not over yet, man-made disasters are coming one after another, and I'm worried that wars or riots will break out."

"What?" Everyone was startled by Ye Fu's words.

"War?" Wan Tao frowned and sat aside. No one is not afraid of war. War is always far away from everyone. If it really comes, what will we do?
"Don't worry, everyone. If there is a war or riot, we can leave and go to other places. I am not alarmist. In history, after major disasters, peace was restored through war. Disasters left too many people without food and clothing. If it is not warm, some people will want to resist. There are too many people who are not full, and the accumulated resentment is also very deep. They hate the residents in the base who can eat and wear warm, and have houses to live in. Once someone calls for resistance, they will definitely respond. .”

Most of the people here are educated, everyone understands this truth, and many major events in history are of reference value.

"I don't want to see a scene where my own people can't beat my own people. I can't accept that my compatriots can kill each other." Fu Jiao was young, and her hands trembled from Ye Fu's words.

Fang Wei took her hand, "But, what can we do? Apart from protecting ourselves, we have no ability to change anything."

"We just need to protect ourselves. In troubled times, we can only protect ourselves."

Although there are many weapons in the space, Ye Fu doesn't want to get involved in any fights, she has no interest in fighting for power.

She couldn't afford to support more people, and there seemed to be a lot of things in the space, but there were thirteen of them, and each of them could eat hundreds of catties of grain a year, let alone thirteen people.

The best policy is to protect yourself, not everyone can be a hero in troubled times.

"But if we still have to leave, where can we go?" Wenwen held her chin, thinking of something, her eyes lit up.

"We go home."

"Go home?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Yeah, go home, go back to the home from the beginning, Dad, I want to go back and see my mother." Wenwen's words made Police Officer Song's eyes turn red instantly.

"But our home is in Lancheng, and Lancheng is in the south, far, far away from here."

Wenwen's eyes were also foggy, "Then we will never be able to go home in this lifetime?"

"It's definitely possible, and I can definitely go back."

Others feel uncomfortable, as long as they mention going home, they will think of the family members lost in the last days.

"Everyone, don't be too nervous. It's the polar night. Even if there is a riot, it's not the best time."

Ye Fu had a different idea, "People are more likely to be impulsive and incited in the dark night. The dark night is like a fig leaf, which can cover up crimes and provide the best protection for riots."

"If you were the leaders of the base, how would you resettle the more than [-] refugees in the refugee camp?"

Ye Fu's question caused everyone to look at each other, and the most qualified people to answer this question were Wan Tao and Liu Zhang.

"Increase three catties of relief food to five catties, build some simple houses around the refugee camp in Heguang City, separate men and women, arrange patrol personnel with guns on duty, and execute disobedient gangsters on the spot, so as to achieve the effect of killing everyone." Fang Ming's answer.

"Placing small clinics in refugee camps, medicines cannot be free. Free will expand people's greed and reduce disease transmission." Qi Yuan added.

Wu Pei raised his hand, "I think orphans should be taken in. Children are the most pitiful. They don't understand anything. Moreover, if the base raises these orphans, it may have a different effect."

"What about the old man?"

Liu Zhang said, "Old people can work too. Those who want to live have unlimited desire to survive. Give them jobs, such as sewing clothes, or cleaning. The refugee camp will be clean, and the diseases will be much less, a lot. Diseases are all brought from Africa, because some countries are poor and backward, do not pay attention to hygiene, and most importantly, the dirtier the place, the higher the incidence of AIDS/disease."

"That's true, but what we can think of, the base management can also think of. The point is, I now suspect that they want these people to fend for themselves." Tang Yizheng paused and continued, "Refer to animals, when there is a problem in the ecological circle , the animal with the worst physique will be abandoned or given up immediately."

Everyone understands the truth, but there are more than [-] people.

This is not a number, but a human life.

"Listen to me." Ye Fu signaled everyone to be quiet.

"In this ecosystem, including humans, once a crisis strikes, our first reaction is to run. We do not have the ability to save the common people, and there is no shame in running away."
