Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

After the distribution of food and water, the life of the residents finally had a respite. Cheng Lin struck while the iron was hot, and asked Ye Fu for a roll of water pipes. Then he organized some young people to go to the lake to get a simple filter, and the charcoal from the base Collected with plant ash, water pipes divert water from the lake into the filter. After being filtered by plant ash and charcoal, the turbid water can be used directly. Although it is not clear and clean, after disinfection, the water from the lake will no longer suffer from diarrhea.

Although He Rui and others were found, Han Feng and Duan Lianzhao were seriously injured. Han Feng was injured in the right leg and right shoulder, Duan Lianzhao was injured in both legs, and his entire back was blasted and scalded. Ye Fu and Wenwen quickly helped them. In order to debride the injury, although the limbs were saved, the burns and scalded skin could not be healed.

Many survivors moved from the temporary residence downstream to the tent where Ye Fu and the others lived. They regarded Cheng Lin as their savior and backbone. Cheng Lin had previously said that he would step down as the head of the base, but unexpectedly, the food distribution After the incident, he was forced to become the survival strategist of all survivors.

Jiang Rong had already told Cheng Rin about the dungeon. After the two discussed it, Cheng Rin planned to accept 5 people into the dungeon, but how to choose these 5 people became a cruel multiple-choice question.

Jiang Rong's proposal is to let children under the age of 13 enter the dungeon. Once the pollution fog and carbon dust particles cover the blue star, all life forms will die, but as long as the young lives are left behind, when the pollution fog dissipates, eventually One day, they can come out of the dungeon.

Cheng Rin agrees with Jiang Rong's proposal, but in the face of life and death, it may not be easy to be impartial and selfless. Young lives can be given preferential treatment, which may cause other people to burst into dissatisfaction. Another point is that the operation of the underground city requires oil and electricity. At present, only Ye Fu can provide these. Whether Ye Fu is willing to provide supplies or not, Cheng Lin has no idea. Cheng Lin’s fingerprints and irises are needed to open and close the dungeon. Naturally, he also has to enter the dungeon to maintain the order and safety of the dungeon. , also need some manpower, Cheng Lin also has some selfishness in his heart, he wants the people around him to take refuge in the dungeon more than the survivors.

Another point is that the capacity of the dungeon is 5 people. During this period, the number of people cannot exceed this capacity. Once the capacity is exceeded, the dungeon cannot bear the weight and there may be a danger of a strike. In order to ensure the safety of the dungeon, Cheng Rin It was decided to reduce the number to 3.

Among the current survivors in the base, there are more than 13 children under the age of [-]. Cheng Lin is a little discouraged. He doesn't know how to make this choice. Before he met Ye Fu and Jiang Rong, he was a refined egoist. He didn't expect that in his lifetime, he would struggle with pain in order to let more people live.

The food in the warehouse is only a few catties distributed to each survivor, and the water in the lake will be drunk one day. Unless the living environment is changed immediately, or the dense fog above the head is dispersed, human beings may still have a chance. vitality.

In the tent, after Jiang Rong told Ye Fu about Cheng Rin's concerns, Ye Fu fell silent.

"Jiang Rong, what you mean is that if you don't enter the dungeon, it will take half a year or a year and a half, and all creatures on the blue star will face death. Is that what you mean?"

"Once my body comes into contact with toxic substances and harmful substances, a defense mechanism will appear. I can feel the increase of toxic substances in the air. Whether it is dense fog in the air or carbon ash particles, they all carry toxins and slight radiation. Long-term exposure will definitely lead to exhaustion of the internal organs and death, unless the dense fog clears and there is another heavy rain to wash away all the toxic substances, otherwise we can only hide in the underground city."

After listening to Jiang Rong's explanation, Ye Fu felt that the situation was not so bad as to be irreversible.

"Jiang Rong, if we change the environment and ecology, and the toxic substances are removed, is there still a chance of survival?"

Jiang Rong knew Ye Fu best, and as soon as she said this, Jiang Rong immediately understood what she wanted to do.

"You want to change the ecology?"

Ye Fu nodded, "Right now, this is the only way. Send [-] young children to the dungeon. What about the rest? Are they all waiting to die? This is too cruel."

"Tell me about your plan."

"Black land." Ye Fu looked very calm, "The soil on the blue star has become waste soil, but the soil of the black land of space is inexhaustible. If I take it out and plant trees, it will definitely survive. The black soil It can also speed up the growth of plants, of course, whether the black soil still has this effect after leaving the space, I don’t know yet.”

Ye Fu's eyes gradually became firmer, "All the people outside are dead, leaving 3 people behind is meaningless. If you want to die, you might as well die. If you want to live, let's live together."

Jiang Rong took Ye Fu's hand and chuckled, "You know, I will support you no matter what decision you make. If you want to live, I will live with you; if you want to die, we will also be together."

Ye Fu's eyes were moist, "Jiang Rong, thank you."

Jiang Rong helped her tidy up the broken hair on her sideburns, "You're welcome."

-

After Jiang Rong told Cheng Rin about Ye Fu's idea, Cheng Rin called everyone to have a small meeting. He took the lead in giving everyone the right to choose, leaving the change of ecology and refuge in the dungeon to let everyone choose freely.

"I'll stay." Police Officer Song was the first to raise his hand. "I can't sit still. As long as I live, I have to work. If I don't work at all, I'm not going to work. I want to stay."

After Police Officer Song made his statement, Qi Yuan was not to be outdone, "I want to stay too, don't try to get rid of me, but I listened to your words and cheered up. Ye Fu is right, if you want to live together, if you want to die together, you must die together."

Others raised their hands one after another to express their desire to stay and plant trees to change the ecology with everyone, including the young Xuxu and An An, and even Han Feng and Duan Lianzhao, who were lying immobile, snorted anxiously.

Cheng Lin got up, looked around at everyone, and said solemnly, "Okay, someone will take action to change all of this. If we don't take action, the children will have to take action. If you fight, you will die sooner or later anyway. If you can hide for a while, you won't be able to hide forever. "

"Should we mobilize the downstream survivors to act with us?" Shen Li was a little worried that the survivors would not cooperate, because everyone was busy surviving now, and no one had the leisure and energy to plant trees and grass.

"Not yet." Ye Fu disagreed with mobilizing the survivors to work together.

"Although there are many people, it is powerful, but it is inconvenient to manage. Another point is that if you want them to work, you have to pay them. We can't afford extra rewards now." Although there is food in the space, Ye Fu still doesn't want to use it , the most important point is that if she gives food now, it will encourage some unhealthy tendencies.
