The world enters the age of mythology.

Lu Yiming sighed softly.

As for the current laws, there are hardly any...not even a serious court...the number of police is not too many, and they are too busy.

The sanctuary is a state where order and chaos are mixed. After all, there are too many affairs at present.

Liu Qingshan grabbed his daughter's hand and took over the key to his room.

As a high-end scientific research talent, he naturally has a little privilege: his room is separated from his daughter's room, which avoids the embarrassment of father and daughter living in the same bedroom.

But that's all there is to it, there's no way to get more.

However, he was very satisfied with being able to obtain a small single room. In the current world, being able to survive is already an extravagant hope for many people.

As for the chaos in the social system, it can be gradually improved.

"It's so nice here... Forget those unfortunate past events." A woman hugged her husband tightly, and the two couldn't help crying.

"We'll start over here..."

There are only a few thieves here, no murderers, no thugs, which is really good, very good.After experiencing the doomsday disaster, everyone's expectations have been reduced to the lowest level, and it is impossible to live the same life as before. Everyone knows this.

"Yeah, forget those past events. Live well, just live well..."

An aunt followed. She picked up her little grandson and kissed her hard, her eyes moist.

Carefree children naturally don't know what's going on in this world. Seeing so many novel things, they scream.Apart from seeing his parents occasionally, he is heartless, and a little toy can make him happy for a long time.

Lu Yiming gave the lollipop back to the little boy and patted his head again.

Yes, to live, to live well, and to grow up, that is the best reward for this society.

Chapter 81 Post-disaster reconstruction work

After arranging the daily life of these survivors, Lu Yiming returned to his residential area.Along the way, he saw two men fighting each other over a package of instant noodles. The reason was because one person accidentally knocked over another person's instant noodles while passing by.

Because of such a trivial matter, it may have been unimaginable before.But now it happens all the time.

Walking into Residential 56, I stretched out. I was exhausted by all kinds of trivial things all day long. Lu Yiming urgently needed to relax and relax.

Otherwise, in the long run, people may suffer from depression.

"mom!"

"Come back? Eat!"

His mother is listening to the radio in the community playground, which broadcasts today's rainfall and the number of rescuers: "Welcome to the 678pm news broadcast, the total number of survivors rescued today is 328, including 350 males and [-] females. People..."

This group of people listening to the radio always seems happy to hear that someone has been rescued, as if there is real hope for humanity.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but feel a little funny, human beings are really a combination of angels and devils.

In fact, the number of rescues today is much lower than last week or last week. In the past few weeks, when the flood just broke out, thousands of people could be saved every day.

But in recent days, as the floods continue to expand, fewer and fewer people are being rescued, which means that the number of survivors outside is dwindling sharply.

Of course, no matter the number of these survivors, as long as someone can be rescued, they can satisfy the sympathy of ordinary people.

Lu Yiming's mother is a member of all living beings. She is not a virtuous person, just an ordinary petty citizen.

Her way of thinking is also quite simple: since she has had a chance to survive, she naturally hopes that more people can be rescued. This is a very simple idea of ​​mutual aid.

"came back!"

"came back?"

These distant relatives all lived in the same community. After seeing Lu Yiming, they greeted each other kindly.

They all boarded the ship through ferry tickets, and their living conditions were better than that of ordinary residents. Naturally, they were grateful for Lu Yiming's attitude and couldn't be more grateful.

"Little Second Uncle, Third Uncle... Hello!" Lu Yiming nodded with a smile, as a gift in return.

These relatives have been in the shelter for so long, and naturally they are not as ignorant as they were at the beginning, from shock and happiness at the beginning, to loss and even despair at the back.All kinds of emotions have been experienced.

But whether you accept it in your heart or not, the fact has become like this...

Many people began to become taciturn and even lost their minds. They did not respond after calling for a long time, and completely lost their motivation to work.This general state of mind continued until the shelter announced the rescue of more survivors, and everyone cheered.

But it's normal to think about it, people are social animals, and everyone has their own social circle.Even these social circles can be said to be an important part of "self-existence".The social circles of otaku are games, anime, and novels; the social circles of some elderly people are square dancing and mahjong; the social circles of normal white-collar workers are colleagues, friends, and so on.

When these circles suddenly disappear and can no longer be found, no matter who they are, they will feel a deep sense of loneliness and anxiety.

Fortunately, with the passage of time, this difficult time has slowly come through. Living is the biggest truth. Everyone always accepts the reality and tries to rebuild the entire civilization.

The presence of these distant relatives also increases the sense of security in the parents' hearts.In their opinion, blood relationship is the most stable, and it is actually good to have mutual help from these relatives.

Back home, Lu Yiming picked up the rice bowl on the table, took a few bites, and asked, "Where's Dad, where did you go?"

"Your father and your uncle went to repair the water pipe... The water pipe on the 12th floor suddenly leaked and is being repaired." While listening to the tape recorder, the mother said: "They want to join the temporary maintenance team and become a worker, After saving, there will be no food to eat.”

"Anyway, I used to do this kind of physical work before, but now I'm in good shape, and I want to continue to work."

"Oh, that's good. He can go if he wants." Lu Yiming said.

According to his current status, the people in the maintenance team also know it, and it is unlikely that he will arrange particularly heavy physical work for his father.

The mother said again: "Your sister and I want to find something to do, and we have nothing to do here... It's okay to be a cleaner or an edger, it's a little help."

Sewing workers refer to the use of sewing machines to process fabrics into clothing, a primary handicraft industry.

"As for Ye Qingqing... just continue to go to school. The community school has been established, and there are temporary teachers. The children can continue to go to school, and maybe they will be able to go to university in the future."

Lu Yiming sighed, the term university... is really too far away.

Actually, there is no real university inside the sanctuary.

Lu Yiming has no objection to his parents' own choice: "If you really have nothing to do, then go and help, find some new friends, and start a new life."

It is really good to have a job, even if the current job is basically voluntary labor, and at most one lunch box, there will be no more economic benefits, because the old money system has long been scrapped, and the new economic system has not yet been established. .

But whether you have a job or not, the mental state of a person will be completely different.

With nothing to do at home, the news is closed, it is inevitable to think wildly and fall into a state of pessimism.On the contrary, after joining the job, you can expand your circle of friends, make new friends, and your mental state will be better.

So Lu Yiming didn't stop his parents' decision, he raised his head again and said: "But you guys are not too young, let's talk to the team leader, try to work the day shift as much as possible, it's too hard to work the night shift. There's no need for that. ."

"Restarting civilization requires young people to come."

Yes, rebuilding civilization has become the top priority at present!

Including the education system, basic social welfare, economic system, monetary system, medical system, etc., these old social orders have to be rebuilt.Only in this way can we provide everyone with a real sense of security and return to normal life.

However, post-disaster reconstruction is not so easy.

The first point is the safety of the shelter.

This is the first time I use such a large shelter, and there are no major problems. There will always be some small leaks, what water pipes are broken, leaking, or where the air conditioner and dehumidifier are broken. These large and small problems are almost every hour. Happens and brings trouble to life.

In addition, the current torrential rain is getting heavier and heavier, and people have to patrol 24 hours a day. If a material warehouse accidentally gets into the water, it will cause a serious accident, so the manpower of the patrol team is also constantly expanding.

The second is the public security environment. The current public security environment is too bad. People do not trust each other, and there are too many petty thefts or fights.There are only a few people like Lu Yiming who have many relatives, and most of them have no connections.

There are many angels in the sanctuary, and there are many devils, and the mutual conversion is only one thought.A man is very sympathetic, but it does not prevent him from stealing.

It even includes an endless stream of supernatural events... Don't think that when an S-class disaster breaks out, other disasters will not be born.This aspect is especially worth guarding against.

Chapter 82 The Rescue Ends

With so many difficulties in front of him, Lu Yiming suddenly felt a bit of a headache. He felt that the most important thing at present was to mobilize manpower and arrange a large number of people into various positions as soon as possible, instead of everyone staying at home and doing nothing, thinking about things think.

The small society in the refuge is incomplete and incomplete. Even though the current population is 15, there are not many people who actually work.

Most of the survivors who were rescued from outside are still in a state of anxiety, and their mentality has not recovered. These unemployed vagabonds are already very good as long as they don't make trouble. It is too much to let them go to work and maintain law and order. difficult.

Thinking of this, Lu Yiming ate his allotted dinner in two mouthfuls. In fact, it was a bowl of rice, a bowl of seaweed soup, and a poached egg. The nutritional content was so-so, but the weight was slightly unsatisfactory.

However, the ration share of ordinary people is basically like this, and there is no need for more.

As a rescuer who goes out, Lu Yiming consumes a lot of physical strength. He can use his ID card to go to the cafeteria to get an extra piece of food.

"Well, do you want to get an extra portion? Forget it... It doesn't matter if you don't eat it. It's not a big problem."

Just thinking about taking a break, the phone in Lu Yiming's pocket vibrated, and he clicked it to see that it was a meeting notice issued by the research institute, requesting all middle-level cadres to attend this internal discussion meeting on time.

"I'm going out for something!" He greeted his mother.

"Oh, you go."

After saying goodbye to my mother, go out and turn left and walk 400 meters, then enter the staff-only elevator and go to the Central Building.

Along the way, Lu Yiming saw many superpowers with different abilities and said hello to each other.

All the superpower teams under the research institute are basically middle-level cadres in the shelter, and there are about 150 people in total.

More than 90% of the superpowers are superhumans, the rest are natural, and there are no superpowers in the spiritual system.

A group of people came to the large conference room in the Central Building and found their seats and sat down.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yiming saw Jin Lili, his former teammate.

Her face was a little pale, but it was generally normal. After two months of training in the hospital, her hair had changed from short hair to long black hair, and she looked a lot more ladylike.

Looking at her smiling face, she knew that she had basically recovered.

Lu Yiming greeted her with a smile, and stared at her neck again: "Hey, Lily, long time no see, your body recovered?"

Jin Lili said angrily: "It's like this outside, do I have to lie in the hospital all the time? It's impossible to live there. I really woke up, the whole world has changed so much... Everything in the past It's gone."

Seeing this good friend, Lu Yiming was still in a very good mood, he smiled and said, "No no no, you have been lying in the hospital for two months, and you haven't seen the tragedy of the two months with your own eyes. A great fortune!"

"Especially when I just went out to rescue, I really felt like I might have depression."

Instead, Jin Lili sighed: "Hey, yes... the outside world is really tragic. Just looking at the photos makes me breathless. It's really hard to imagine what it would be like to rescue outside. Mood."

Lu Yiming shook his head, not wanting to talk about such a heavy topic, he deliberately made a little joke, "I don't know why, as soon as I see you now, I will recall the scene where my head fell... Is there a scar on my neck? "

Recalling the experience of her head falling off, Jin Lili was a little annoyed. She raised her head, revealing her fair neck: "Hey, my super powers won't leave scars!"

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "Of course it's better not to leave scars... I have a question that's a little curious. What does it feel like to drop your head? You should be conscious the moment your head falls off, right?"

Jin Lili's face blushed, recalling her past experience, she looked a little embarrassed and a little scared.She definitely didn't want to experience that feeling again.

About a quarter of an hour later, almost all the people in the conference room came, including some employees of the research institute, government leaders, and some military commanders. There were more than 500 people in total, almost That is, all the middle-level cadres in the entire refuge.

The political structure of the refuge is a bit weird. Basically, it is based on the original structure of the Supernatural Research Institute. The army has been dismantled. For example, the team led by Lu Yiming has more than a dozen soldiers.Coupled with the original government power, various political groups are mixed up and mixed up.

Lu Yiming still doesn't know who he should listen to.

"It should still take the political structure of the institute as the main body, and other political forces are just auxiliary." Jin Lili whispered.

"What?"

"The director of the research institute, Ding Yuan, is also a senior cadre in the country... and the control authority of the refuge is basically in the hands of the supernatural research institute, and no one else can take it away. If a strange leader suddenly comes to command you, Do you want to?"

Lu Yiming was stunned for a while. In the current situation of panic, from the perspective of trust, he must still obey the original old leader.As for the orders issued by other unfamiliar leaders, he certainly did not recognize them.People are separated from each other, who knows what is going on in the dark.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Ding Yuan is the person who is in charge of the refuge... Then didn't I hug my thighs? He is my immediate leader, and I am under one person and above ten thousand people?" Lu Yiming laughed.

"As beautiful as you think!" Jin Lili rolled her eyes, "You only lead a few soldiers..."

The person sitting at the front of the conference room was Lu Yiming's former direct boss, Ding Yuan, the person in charge of the Yunhai City Branch. He turned on the microphone and cleared his throat: "Cough, ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet. , and now the meeting officially begins."

The whispers in the room disappeared.

"First of all you have a not so wonderful news. According to the calculations of meteorologists, our world has been submerged due to the continuous approach of lunar water vapour. But the water vapour from the moon has just begun, and the rainfall will be again tomorrow. It will be 20% larger than today, and it may be accompanied by strong winds above tenth level, and the level of waves will continue to increase."

"In such a harsh environment, even a specially reinforced steel ship can't go out to carry out the rescue mission... So this time the external rescue activities are likely to come to an end."

Chapter 83 The Overall Condition of the Refuge

Hearing this, there was a buzzing discussion in the conference room.This news means that everyone outside has lost the chance to survive.

Lu Yiming clenched his fists, and after a few seconds, he slowly let go.

There is no way, human strength is limited, compared to the vast and boundless disaster, it is like an ant struggling to survive in the waves.At present, humans are still several light years away from controlling the weather. There is no way to do it.

Some things, as long as you try your best, you have a clear conscience.
