Chapter 17 Preparation
Liu Caixia had originally decided to go directly to the Southwest Base. In her previous life, the Southwest Base was quite large and good, and with its geographical advantage, many people later flocked to the Southwest Base.
The safe zone near the city was still too small after all, and the safe zone of their city was in the opposite direction from them. It was more convenient for them to go directly to the base, which would save at least 8 hours of driving time compared to going to the safe zone and then to the base.
After calculating the distance and the safety of the cities she would pass through along the way, Liu Caixia finally decided that it would be more cost-effective to go directly to the base.
The several cities we passed on the way to the Southwest Base were not that developed, and their populations were not as large as those of the cities to the east and south. They were also better than the sparsely populated Northwest.
Humans are social animals. It's okay to be away from people for a short period of time, but it's not okay to be away from people for a long time.
Everyone packed up what they could take away. Liu Caixia only told her parents about Jiang Xiaolu's space and did not let the other four people in the family know.
Defenses can not do without.
"Okay, now that we've decided, let's start preparing. We don't know what dangers may arise along the way, so we should be fully prepared before we set off."
After Liu Caixia came home, Liu's father pulled her into the house to talk. Now that they had discussed it, they took action.
Wang's father and Liu's mother had a lot of collections, including gold, silver, jade and jewelry. If they weren't used now, it didn't mean they wouldn't be used in the future. They were all packed up and put into Jiang Xiaolu's storage space. After the anti-virus was over, they would be useful anyway, so they wouldn't be left at home and taken away by other people who came to collect supplies. She packed up a full suitcase of things.
After that, Liu Caixia asked her parents to use up the firewood at home, and steamed a lot of buns and steamed bread, and made a lot of rice balls, which she packed into plastic bags. She put some of them into the space and left the rest outside. These were the supplies prepared for Minglu, and everyone ate them together.
People are always selfish. When the time comes, there will be no other way. The things in the space cannot be exposed too much. It is understandable that Liu Caixia made such an arrangement. She will not treat the four people who stayed behind badly. After all, they are of decent character and have followed Liu's father for so many years.
People have their own relatives and friends, and at the critical moment of life and death, they always have to make a choice. Liu Caixia has done her utmost to take them to the safe base. It is unknown when this virus can be resolved, and she cannot continue to support their lives in the future. They still have to rely on themselves.
If a man does not care for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. At the critical moment of life and death, he can only choose the person he cares about most.
At night, Liu Caixia secretly came to her parents' room and said, "Dad, what do you think about telling these four people at home? Should we take them with us or let them leave on their own? I have always thought that if they are trustworthy, we can go with them, and we can make a living together when we get to the base. The power of a team is always greater than that of an individual."
"Caixia, their character is definitely impeccable before, but no one can predict the future when it comes to interests. We must tell them our next plan. I think they should choose to go to the base with us, so that we can be together on the road. As for the rest, we can decide whether to make a living together after we arrive at the base safely. What do you think?"
Liu Caixia thought what her father said was right. She had previously thought that they would live alone at the base, but she also thought that it would be easy to be bullied if they had no power at the base. This was what was said in many novels and TV shows. If they had no power, they would likely be assigned to the lowest level. Moreover, they might not be able to keep their supplies. If they were discovered by a larger force, they would probably be bullied.
"Yes, Dad, you are right, you should discuss it with them." Liu Caixia still feels safer in front of her parents. Her father considers things more comprehensively than she does. It is true that we cannot accept people with no bottom line. It is easy for them to be stabbed in the back.
"I was thinking that they have been around for such a long time, and it is better to have them in our group than to be strangers. Once we get to the base, without any power, life at the bottom will be too hard."
Liu Caixia wanted to protect her parents and daughter so much. She always felt that she came back to make up for them. It seemed that she had to take her time and make long-term plans.
Mother Liu also comforted her, "Caixia, are you hiding something from us? I feel like you've become so anxious this time you came back! It's okay, don't we still have the country? You have to believe that the country will definitely not ignore us ordinary people. Your father and I have prepared a lot of food. If we squeeze more into the space, our family can eat for three to five years without any problem, even if we take Xiao Zhang and the other four people with us."
"Mom, the situations I saw along the way were too terrible, so I'm a little anxious. It's okay. As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of anything!"
"That's right, even if the sky falls, there are still tall people watching!"
I spent another day in the suburban villa. All the food in the warehouse had been made into cooked food, but there were still a lot of dried fruits and jams that were not ready. Making dried fruits and jams is indeed a bit time-consuming.
Finally, the whole family was there processing the remaining dried fruits and jams. Two large pots were set up and the firewood was burning brightly.
The fruits were peeled, mashed and thrown into a large pot to cook. Two security guards were stirring vigorously with spatulas to prevent the food from sticking to the pot. A lot of thinly sliced apples were also placed on the stove, and as many slices as possible were baked dry.
After waiting for another day, basically all the stock in the house had been sold out. Looking at the bags of dried fruits and jams, everyone was very satisfied.
Jiang Xiaolu took advantage of the time when no one was around and collected some heavier jams and dried fruits to take up space, so she put four large bags outside. She would put two bags in each car, and everyone would take out and eat some every day. Since there was no way to stir-fry vegetables when they were in a hurry, they would use these to supplement vitamins.
That night, everyone sat in the living room and agreed to set off early the next morning. Father Liu first said to the remaining four people on his side, "You four, I told you before. We are about to set off, and I'm going to say it in advance. You can eat whatever we eat along the way. You will definitely not starve.
But I hope that you will understand that we are a collective, that a single tree cannot make a forest, and that there is strength in numbers. Only if we work together can we have hope of reaching the base.
I don't want anyone to stab me in the back, but of course, we are not pushovers, and we will show no mercy if we find out."
The three men and an auntie all said, "Don't worry, Brother Liu. We are so grateful that you can take us with you."
