Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 302: Natural Disasters and Doomsday Cannon Fodder (10)
There were several boys and girls who were responsible for the same task as Shen Yao, and they all looked very thin.
Well, this is special care.
Complaining in his heart, Shen Yao was walking in the front in the rain, while the others followed slowly behind, even having the leisure to gossip.
All the discussions were about things that had recently appeared on the Internet and the group of people who had migrated from the suburbs.
Rimu City is not a big city. The more outside population there is, the more it will squeeze the living space of the indigenous people.
Many people are unwilling to let Rimu City become the area of choice for migrating population, but unfortunately this does not require their consent, and the authorities choose to take direct action.
"I heard from my relatives that when the rain gets lighter, a group of those people will move into the city," those who can move in must have contributed to the country, or they are in poor health, "who knows, maybe our community will also have a few households moving in."
As long as there are vacant houses in the community, they will be taken away by the government for recycling. This is something the management has known for a long time.
“I hope there won’t be too many people coming here so we can get along well,” someone thought naively.
"Tsk, it's hard to get along with people whether they are large or small," someone said with malicious intent.
"Okay, let's wait until someone arrives and finish the work at hand."
"..."
Shen Yao lowered her head to check several manholes. Two of them were blocked by fallen dead branches and leaves, and one was constantly overflowing with water.
"Come and take a look. Should we call for help?" Shen Yao pointed at the overflowing manhole and stepped back a few meters.
When she called the person over, she also interrupted the previous topic.
Turning their attention to the manhole cover, some people agreed with what Shen Yao said, while others thought it was troublesome and wanted to remove the manhole cover first.
"We all agreed that the team leader asked us to be responsible for this small area in the southern district," but then they encountered an overflowing manhole and started arguing endlessly.
None of them are capable of anything, and basically everyone can say something.
Shen Yao stared at the overflowing sewer and always felt that there was something wrong with the water.
She backed away silently without saying a word, but someone asked for a vote by raising their hands.
Since no one can make up their mind anyway, why not let the minority obey the majority?
Sure enough, the number of people who agreed to tell the team leader was less than the number of people who directly dug a well.
"Then start digging. It keeps overflowing," and a small shallow pool has formed around it, which is so wet that it is disgusting.
"Everyone come and help," someone took the lead, knocked with the iron rod in his hand, and turned around to call for help.
People came up to help in twos and threes, and Shen Yao also hid behind and helped.
There was a loud bang and the manhole cover turned over, followed by a few terrifying screams and someone fell down.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao stepped back to avoid the person in front of her, and looked up. She was shocked to find a fat, white corpse emerging from the overflowing sewer.
The visual stimulation stimulated the body's senses, and the nausea made Shen Yao clench the tools in her hands.
Regardless of the others still shouting and yelling, Shen Yao quickly called the team leader and asked him to come over.
What happened next was not Shen Yao’s business. She made an excuse of feeling unwell and hurried back to her room. The matter ended there for the time being.
Unexpectedly, Wei Mingyu came back in the evening, his thick dark circles couldn't hide his haggard face.
Shen Yao let someone in and handed over a clean towel. "Is it related to the body?"
The news of a dead body coming out of a manhole cover in the afternoon has spread within the community.
Wei Mingyu nodded, wiped his hair with a towel and turned his body sideways to avoid the water droplets on his body falling to the ground.
"The body has been identified. He had a record of petty thefts before disappearing," we thought he might have hidden somewhere, but we didn't expect him to be dead.
Shen Yao blinked her eyes, thinking, is this something you can say? Isn't it a bit too hasty?
"It's okay, an announcement has been issued." In fact, such deaths have become common recently.
The authorities will choose to conceal the incident as long as it does not affect the public, but when it happens in a residential area like this, they must appease the public.
Shen Yao understood, and then asked, "You still can't come back recently?"
Wei Mingyu's room is just a decoration. It's such a waste of such a good location.
"I heard in the group that outsiders will stay in the city, your room," don't say you have to give it up, it will not be good for Shen Yao.
"There are not many rooms that can be arranged in the entire community, and this building is still safe."
His room cannot be given away, as the official resettlement housing is subject to conditions and those who can move in have made extraordinary contributions, especially in the residential area where they live. Although the facilities and buildings are not new, the people who live here are of great importance.
The reason Shen Yao was able to buy the property here can only be attributed to the right time, right place and right people. There was really no need for any means before the natural disaster occurred, but after the disaster, no means were really useful.
Shen Yao felt relieved and invited Wei Mingyu to go to the living room to rest.
Wei Mingyu waved his hand and said, "I have to go back to the police station to be on duty soon. I came here this time because I live in the residential complex," otherwise this job would not have been assigned to him.
Recently, Wei Mingyu has been responsible for maintaining order in the suburbs. He is busy twenty hours out of twenty-four hours a day.
Coming back now may be seen as a long and tiring journey by others, but in Wei Mingyu's eyes it is a rare rest.
Wei Mingyu didn't have much time to talk to Shen Yao, as he had other things to deal with when he returned to the police station.
After a hasty farewell, Wei Mingyu left, leaving only a small puddle of water on the ground.
Shen Yao took out a mop and wiped it, then walked to the sofa and looked through the group records.
Sure enough, the group has already started a discussion about the official announcement.
The cause and effect were clearly written in black on a white background. Everyone just thought it was over, except for a few people who experienced it personally.
Shen Yao checked her phone for a while, and then received a message that Wei Mingyu had arrived at the police station.
After saying good night to each other, Shen Yao lay on her side on the sofa, thinking about something with her head down.
There was news coming from a mobile phone chat group, which was a student group that had not been active for a long time.
Shen Yao raised her hand and clicked on it, and saw a familiar avatar cursing.
Ok?
Sliding her fingers upwards to search, Shen Yao understood the whole story and felt that it was a wise decision to return from Jiang City early.
Most of the thirty people in the group were wiped out in Jiang City, and the remaining ones all had their own grudges and hatreds.
Tut tut
Is this the true end of the world after a natural disaster? In addition to external pressure, there is also internal stabs.
Shen Yao watched the drama in the group and knew that it was only because of the Internet after the migration that the quarrels were so intense. Otherwise, once the Internet was turned off, no one would know who was who.
Shen Yao had no intention of paying attention to them. After secretly peeping at the screen, she continued with her own things. Now she was hiding in the rear area of Rimu City, so they were extremely lucky to meet her.
'But this also reminds me that I can't be too high-profile and I need to be low-key.'
The stick that sticks out first gets broken first. Shen Yao felt that she couldn't beat the opponent by force, and she was wearing shoes, so how could she go head-on with the barefoot person?
Shen Yao, who is hiding herself, has no chance to go out except for the daily tasks arranged by the community.
Later on, the rain became lighter and lighter. Others went out wearing raincoats or holding umbrellas, but Shen Yao still stayed at home like a stay-at-home girl.
Occasionally her behavior would be criticized by others, after all, Shen Yao was too independent.
A young girl should like to be lively. How can she bear not to go out and socialize all day long?
"Xiao Shen, we are going to the supermarket to do some shopping, come with us."
The resident upstairs is very friendly, a warm-hearted fifty-year-old lady.
Maybe it's a professional habit. I always smile when I meet people and I habitually consider others no matter what I do.
Shen Yao and this old lady got to know each other because of a task assigned by the community.
The aunt had a good personality, and seeing that Shen Yao was a lonely person who needed care, she developed more affection for her than for other people.
"Auntie Zhou, wait a moment, I'll get an umbrella." It was only a drizzle outside, so it was okay not to hold an umbrella, but for safety reasons, Shen Yao still fully armed herself.
Following Aunt Zhou, Shen Yao walked neither fast nor slow. The two chatted for a while about things in the community group. People had been assigned to those empty houses and would be coming over in the next few days.
"There's none for our building. I heard there aren't many people and there aren't enough rooms," Aunt Zhou waved her hand. Walking up the stairs was tiring enough, and she was panting by the time she got downstairs.
“Will there be a next time?” There are enough points this time, but if enough people come, there will definitely come a day when there aren’t enough points.
"Of course, the coastal areas are all flooded. Those people can only move to our side if they want to be resettled." There's no other way, because the altitude here is too high.
The housing problem will become increasingly tense. Even though houses are being built in the suburbs, they will not be enough to accommodate the people who come here.
This time the houses in the urban area are being divided, partly to relieve the pressure on the suburbs. When the continuous population migration comes in the future, houses will still have to be built around the urban area.
Speaking of this, Aunt Zhou also mentioned the shelter that could not be used because of the rain.
"Once the rainy season is over and the shelters are cleaned up, we will be able to accommodate a number of people."
This rain has lasted so long that most people have called it the rainy season, which is almost the same as the four seasons of the year.
There are quite a few people downstairs in the community, all of whom are going to the supermarket to buy supplies.
Nowadays, supermarkets are under official control. Although the buying and selling of things are strict, they can still guarantee the lives of ordinary people.
Of course, some private supermarkets are still open, but the prices are high. Unless you have a mine at home, you have to queue up to shop in official supermarkets.
Aunt Zhou and her group of people just go to the official supermarket, queue up to get in, and even stand together and chat to pass the boring time.
Shen Yao was right next to Aunt Zhou, and she could reach out and touch her. But she didn't talk much, and unless Aunt Zhou asked her, she would pretend that she didn't exist.
"Everyone in the supermarket has left, hurry in, it's so hard to get out, don't waste it."
Although every household has enough food, daily vegetables and fruits are still insufficient, especially in the plateau areas where it is very difficult to grow vegetables and fruits.
Take the most common apple for example. It used to cost only a few dollars each, but now it costs nearly ten yuan each. It is really unaffordable.
There are a lot of fruits in the supermarket, so the prices seem to be relatively expensive.
Shen Yao picked up a few apples and oranges, queued up to buy two cans of food, then paid the bill and waited for Aunt Zhou and the others to come out and go home.
As luck would have it, I met Wei Mingyu who came to help.
Shen Yao:......
If Shen Yao didn't know that Wei Mingyu was very busy, she would have suspected that they were bound by the will of heaven because their meeting rate was too high during each trip.
Wei Mingyu was also surprised. Although his face looked haggard, he still looked good and energetic in his uniform.
"Are you here with Aunt Zhou and the others?" Wei Mingyu pointed at the supermarket and whispered that a batch of warm and cold-proof clothing would be available at the official channel. "Remember to hurry up and buy them."
The cold wave after the rainy season will be very cold. Wei Mingyu heard from inside sources that the temperature will drop sharply, which is similar to the previous drought.
The shelter will definitely be activated, but the people who migrated here also need to be resettled, which is completely different from the calmness when they were hiding from the drought.
Shen Yao nodded obediently, indicating that Wei Mingyu didn't need to worry about her, as she had many ways to keep warm.
Even if she can't enter the shelter at that time, she has other ways.
But now, without waiting for anything to happen, Aunt Zhou came out and called Shen Yao over.
"Xiao Shen, let's go home quickly. There are so many people outside and it's very messy."
Aunt Zhou kept on talking non-stop, but her words were not unpleasant, and she just had the same thoughts that ordinary old people would have.
Shen Yao nodded, waved to Wei Mingyu, and went home with her things.
Overall, Shen Yao's life in Rimu City is monotonous and boring, but it is also a peaceful and tranquil life that many people envy.
No need to worry about daily food and clothing, no need to worry about your own safety, where can you find such a good life?
Shen Yao was content with what she had and lived a happy life. When the rainy season passed and it was October, the weather suddenly turned cold.
Winter really came in an instant, leaving them no room to react.
Fortunately, Wei Mingyu reminded Shen Yao to buy official cold-resistant clothes early. She put on a thin layer of clothes, which made her feel warm.
Wei Mingyu also came back from the police station. The room opposite started to become crowded, and the authorities moved several groups of people in before they could no longer leave.
The shelter that had been sealed off was reopened, but there was nothing for them to do since it was all used to house outsiders.
After all, housing is in short supply, especially in winter when work is slow. If you want to build a house, you have to wait until the cold wave is over.
For such a long time, people like Shen Yao can only hide in the room to keep warm. If the temperature continues to drop below the limit, it will be very difficult for them to survive.
Hey
I feel that life is getting harder and harder. It turns out that it is a wise choice not to find a partner and have children. Otherwise, how can I take care of the baby?
dong dong dong-
There was a knock on the door, and Shen Yao habitually welcomed the person in.
It's Wei Mingyu
How can we describe the relationship between the two people? More ambiguous than lovers.
But no one broke the window paper, and they continued to get along with each other like this.
Shen Yao enjoyed the ambiguity, but Wei Mingyu was in great pain. He wanted to say something but was afraid of delaying the other party, but he felt sorry for the other party if he didn't say anything.
This person looks calm and indifferent on the outside, but he is actually very twisted inside.
He brought over the soup he had cooked himself, and the two of them were currently living together.
They eat breakfast separately, and lunch and dinner together. It is not a long-term solution for Shen Yao to live alone. Wei Mingyu's identity is enough to intimidate others.
