Chapter 206 End of July

Time flies by.

It has been a week since returning from Liberation City.The time came to the end of July.Tomorrow is August.

The sun is shining brightly, and the water in the mountain pond is getting less and less. Some time ago, in order to prevent the sun from evaporating water vapor, a layer of black sunshade balls was spread on it.

This black sunshade ball can effectively alleviate solar evaporation and save a lot of water.

Otherwise, most of the water will be wasted just by direct sunlight.

In this way, the decline rate of the water source of the mountain pond has been greatly alleviated.

This black shading ball is not only used in the mountain pond, but also used in the rice fields, and the effect is not bad.

Rice has entered the ear stage.

In the base, there is an old farmer like grandpa who has been farming farmland all his life, and he is a real farming expert.

What to do at what stage, the elderly have a clear mind.

On the base side, except for the hot weather, everything else is normal.

No mess happened, and because of the abundant electricity, many people turned on the lights to watch movies and TV series at night.

People of the older generation also like to watch some dramas and the like. At the beginning, Li Yu downloaded a lot, including various genres.

It's also a way for everyone to relax.

But in Jiefang City, it was not so easy.

Before accepting those refugees, Jiefang City faced various problems. Food was scarce, and water was also a big problem. Even though there was a river not far away, the sun was too strong, and it was about to dry up.

As for the running water, it stopped two weeks after the end of the world erupted.

The water they drink now is basically pumped from the river.

I also thought about digging some wells, but in the highlands of Jiefang City, you need to dig very deep to get water, so after digging a well, there is still no water source under 10 meters.

Put it on hold for a while.

But now that the water source is becoming more and more a problem, the matter of drilling wells has started again.

Without relevant instruments and equipment, we can only rely on manual drilling.

Finally, after 7 days of drilling, the depth of the well has reached 30 meters, and water splashes finally emerged.

The water source problem has been alleviated for the time being, but there is still a huge problem ahead, and that is food.

In the past, Jiefang City mainly relied on collecting materials in the city, and planting some crops in Jiefang City, but these crops have not waited for the season of maturity.

Some of the food that was hoarded before is gradually decreasing now.

Originally, they hoarded a lot of food. As the largest force in the city, without the oppression of the Salvation Army, they had a good life in the first half of the year.

But now more and more people are joining, and Director Zhang is holding the idea of ​​helping others. As long as you join, you will be loaned food for 2 days. After 2 days, you need to go out with the team to find food. Then turn in part.

After more than half a year, all kinds of supplies are getting less and less, and, in the hot weather, many foods have stinked, and they can't even be eaten anymore.

The food crisis is like a mountain, oppressing them and they can't breathe.

These newly joined refugees also went out to look for supplies together, but what often happened was that they basically would not hand in the supplies they collected.They know very well how terrible it is to be hungry.

So various tricks appeared to hide the supplies.

In fact, the mechanism formulated by Jiefang City is like this. Periodic shifts, some people will go out to find supplies, they will hand in part, and keep the rest for themselves.

Some people need to be on duty and guard the base; some people need to do some things, such as digging wells, planting and so on.

This part of the people is similar to getting wages, and the collective distributes them some basic living materials.

Originally, those who went out would also hide most of the supplies and give the group a very small amount of things, but there were also some small captains who would directly oppress the people below and hand over most of the supplies.

There are many small teams, and there are already many conflicts, but they have not erupted.

However, after these refugees joined, some people were unwilling to hand in most of the supplies, so some positive conflicts arose.

This kind of frontal conflict is accompanied by less and less food to be found, and the conflict is getting bigger and bigger.

Suddenly one day, they searched outside for a day, but did not find any supplies, and the conflict broke out even more intensely.

Everyone hid their food, and some squad leaders used their power to distribute more supplies, so they were able to live normally.

But for some people at the lowest level, once they have no continuous food, they will immediately run out of food.

In the face of hunger, this contradiction began to grow.

Internal fights started over food, and there was even bloodshed.

In the face of hunger, any institutional rules that have been papered up are torn off.

Chaos begins.

Director Zhang and others are also aware of this problem, but there is nothing he can do about it. The most fundamental problem now is food!

Without food, you cannot live.

There was another fight just now. Several refugees went to rob the original residents of Jiefang City for food, and the two gangs fought fiercely.

The final struggle was stopped only when Captain Lu and others intervened, fired a shot into the sky, and shocked everyone present.

However, after this struggle, people's minds have completely changed.

There are conflicts between the displaced people and the local residents, conflicts between those who joined first and those who joined later, and conflicts between management personnel such as team leaders and the people at the bottom.

In addition, the sun is shining brightly, and the zombies outside have not appeared during the day recently, so after there are no external conflicts, the internal conflicts will be infinitely magnified.

"Old Zhang, the situation is very serious now." Captain Lu approached Director Zhang and said.

Director Zhang sighed, but still said: "Why is it so good, it has become like this. Also, is our part of the supplies okay?"

Captain Lu glanced at Director Zhang, sighed, and finally said, "Although there is no problem, there are not many."

"How could this be?" Director Zhang asked in surprise.

Captain Lu glanced at Director Zhang speechlessly: "The materials collected in the recent period are pitifully small, and we are sitting on nothing."

Both of them were silent for a while, and Director Zhang suddenly said: "Actually, we still have supplies, but I think we can discuss it with them. Now everyone is arguing about food, although Jiefang City has always advocated fairness. Fair, but they wouldn't have the environment without us."

Director Zhang went on to say: "Look for those small captains and ask them to donate appropriately. In fact, I know that they are greedy. The reason is that they are old people and I didn't hold them accountable. There is no other way now, and we can't look at it like this." Polarization continues."
