food crisis [end times]

The author has something to say: I got confused again in the last chapter, and now I have changed it back...

It looks like a lot, but in fact the worth of the two is far more than that, it's just that Xiang Luo didn't realize it.

In fact, this also changed Xiang Luo's original stereotype.

"I used to always think that being a soldier is equivalent to suffering."

"To endure hardship is also to endure hardship. If you suffer hardship together with the family economy, then no one is willing to serve as a soldier. To serve as a soldier to defend the country, the country must make clear arrangements for their family affairs. In fact, It is to pay them wages, but there is no chance to spend the money in the army, so it is better to send it home. Those who can serve as soldiers must be a very important labor force in the family. The lack of a labor force will deal a considerable blow to ordinary families , especially the group of only children. Faith and life, only when both sides are satisfied can someone be willing to take risks regardless of the consequences."

Xiang Luo couldn't help laughing: "Why didn't I know you knew so much before?"

"I didn't know it before, but recently I read some information about the army. After all, when you go out, you must get in touch with the army."

"In your words, this is called knowing yourself and knowing the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles?" Xiang Luo raised his eyebrows.

Zhu Yan couldn't help but laugh, but it seemed to be the case.

"Of course you have to plan well when traveling." Zhu Yan yawned energetically and continued to drive his own car.

With the pass given to them by Luo's father, the journey went quite smoothly.

The two continued the previous rhythm, stop and go and play around.After all, it is the first time to come out after the end of the world, and it is the first travel date of the two, so of course I don't want to leave any regrets.

Even in the last days, there are too many good scenes.It was not until two days later that he left Province J and entered Province L.It takes a day or two to go southwest and you will be able to enter Beijing.

In this way, the speed of the vehicle is also faster.Of course, three meals a day are still stopped and enjoyed slowly.To be honest, when the two of them really didn't feel wronged by their stomachs in order to hurry, at most they felt that it was more urgent and it was easier to do it.But there is always plenty of time to eat.

The car was chosen not far from a village, and the smoke from the cooking was not visible from a distance, so there should be no one there.

But the scenery here is really good, surrounded by mountains and rivers, although you can't see the slightest green, you can always see a bit of decadent beauty in the bleakness.

Today, the two of them ate hot pot, and the bowls and chopsticks are disposable. After eating, you just need to wash the pot. As a result, the hot pot stall was not set up for a while when you heard the sound of an engine in the distance. Xiang Luo stood up and looked over there. After a while, he saw a military truck coming around the corner. Xiang Luo hurriedly covered the pot, turned down the fire, and covered the pot with a dry towel to prevent ash from falling.

I thought there were at most a few military trucks, but I didn't expect the two military trucks to drive very slowly, and behind the military trucks were hundreds of yellow and emaciated people.

There are not many people with good looks in this world, but this group of people is obviously weaker than most people.Glancing at them, Xiang Luo only had three words "runaway" in his mind.

They are ragged and look like dry bones, very much like the photos in the photos that shocked the world in the last century.

Xiang Luo knew that many people in this world were still on the verge of famine, but he didn't expect it to be this serious.

Xiang Luo looked a little dazed, and those people also saw Xiang Luo's food on the table, including noodles, cut meat, and even looking at quite fresh vegetables.

A few people almost subconsciously rushed over to grab the food, but were quickly stopped by soldiers in military uniforms next to them.

More and more people saw the food here, and several soldiers almost surrounded the small stall.

A soldier said helplessly to the two: "Put it away first, and eat after we leave. By the way, where are you from, why are you eating here?"

Xiang Luo and Zhu Yan hurriedly covered up their food and tossed it into the car: "We are also passing by, where are they from? Are there any people who are so hungry here?"

No matter how bad it is, there are protein lumps.Although the human body cannot do without carbohydrates.But in extreme environments, as long as the intake of protein is ensured, people will not die and their condition will not be too bad.Now the protein block technology is quite mature, and the output is relatively large.Protein pieces, mushrooms and a small amount of multigrain biscuits are the most basic daily food for almost all poor people.No matter how difficult people are, they can afford it.How can there be such a large number of famine personnel here?

The soldier said helplessly: "They are not from the local area, they came from the south. It may be because of the stereotype that there is a lot of food in the northeast, and there is a northern warehouse. That's why they came here."

"Is the famine so serious in the south?" Xiang Luo knew that when there was a famine in Guanli, he went to the northeast of the Guandong several times to make a living.I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes after the end of the world.

The soldier shook his head: "How is it possible? Even if there is no food, they will transfer it from places with food. It's just that they feel that life here must be more comfortable than there. It's just that they underestimated the hardships along the way. There were fewer food belts, and they starved to death on the way. There are quite a few people. But at least we are here. Arrangements must be made when people come.”

"..." This is fate, Xiang Luo asked again, "Where should we arrange it?"

"It's over there." The soldier pointed to the village not far away, "It's an empty village over there. After registering for them, they can settle there and distribute relief food to them at any time."

"Where are the people in that village... are they all dead?"

The corner of the soldier's lips twitched first: "No, many people died and moved away. I heard that half of them fled to the south. I think the south is not cold, and it is a land of fish and rice. It must be better than here. "

……

Co-authored This is a doomsday version of the exchange space.

Each of them felt that the other's life was better than their own, and then went to the other's hometown to seek a way out.As a result, so many people died of starvation on the way from the south, and it is estimated that the situation of those who went out of Shanhaiguan from the northeast to the land of fish and rice would not be too good.

The end of the world is so magical.

The crowd continued to move forward under the organization of the People's Liberation Army, but some people still reluctantly gathered around here.There is still a strong aroma of hot pot bottom ingredients in the air, and how many people have never smelled this smell since the end of the world.

This smell is too fragrant, even if you smell it more?

They came here with unlimited hopes and fantasies, and they kept falling down with the people around them, but when they got here, they found that the situation had not improved.

No one knew how desperate they were.

After the crowd gradually restored order, a soldier asked Xiang Luo, "Where are you going? Don't tell me you're going to the south."

Xiang Luo shook his head: "Go to the capital."

The soldier shook his head: "You can't get in Beijing, even if you are a public official, you can't get in without special circumstances."

"I have a letter of introduction." Xiang Luo said.

Fortunately, Luo's father helped them solve this problem, Xiang Luo is quite confident now.

Having this sentence means that they understand the rules here, and the soldier nodded: "That's good, I'll go first, you pay attention to safety. The road ahead may not be safe, it's best to go with the troops after arriving in City D." go over there."

The soldiers escorted the group of people to the village not far ahead.The two of them just watched, watching the skinny people walk by, the loose clothes couldn't block the bones under the thin layer of skin, like moving skeletons.

Scary, yet sad.

Although there is always talk of a famine, there are still a small number of people who have seen starvation to death with their own eyes.Seeing them now, Xiang Luo finally had another idea of ​​the end times.

"Tell me, what will the villagers think when they see such a person." Xiang Luo said.

Because of the sale of duck meat, the villagers began to have oil and water, and their complexion and physique are getting better and better.After the bus passed, the village went out energetically one by one, and there were quite eye-catching scenery wherever they went.Because of this, people outside know that the conditions in this village are good, and everyone can eat meat or eggs.Some people have moved their minds to marry here, no matter men or women, they all want to use marriage as a bridge to join this village.Even if you can't join, at least if you get involved, you can still eat two bites of meat.

In just half a month, several marriages have already taken place, and people who could not find a wife in the village before have also become sweet pastries to be looted by others.

The more places he traveled and the more he saw, the more he realized how extravagant life in Shili Village really was.

Zhu Yan sneered: "I should bring them over to have a look."

If there is no Xiang Luo, they may not be as unlucky as these people, but they will definitely not be better. At most, they will be like most of the general public in the last days.

"But just now the soldier said that the road ahead is not very peaceful, tsk, let's go further and see the team that happens to have an official."

If they didn't know, they must have rushed forward. If they knew, the two of them would not be so stupid as to really walk forward without thinking about safety.If so, then it is not stupid.But looking for death.

Zhu Yan nodded: "Let's eat first."

The extravagant life of the two will not be restrained because of seeing the misery of others.On the contrary, the more you see others suffering, the more you should cherish your own life.

They have never been the ones who see others suffering and feel that they are not worthy of happiness.

Of course, there are people in this world who, seeing A suffering, can’t see B living a good life, standing on the moral high ground and accusing B of living a good life, why can’t he help A.

This is not kindness, much less compassion.It's simply looking for a sense of existence, and it's sick to speak human words.

After eating the soup, I dug a hole and poured it out, washed it clean, and then set out on the road.Because I was delayed for a while, it was delayed for more than half an hour. When I arrived at the target city in the afternoon, it was dark again.

The two of them happened to arrive in a city almost every night in the past few days.Of course, because you have been following the expected route, you can basically measure and control where you can go.

I went into the city and bought the latest map specially prepared for passers-by. Sure enough, the roads in the next few days were either red or yellow.It's not far from the capital here, and it stands to reason that the closer you are to the capital, the better the security will be.But it is inevitable that the lights will be dark.Those black and evil forces who can't survive in the capital will gather in places that are just out of the capital's control.As time went by, more and more people came to Beijing, and their prey became richer.Similarly, some of these people who came to Beijing will "fall into bandits" for various reasons.As time goes by, these evil forces are like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

I inquired when the official time was to go southwest, but learned that the time was two days later.After thinking about it, I decided not to take any risks. I parked the car in a paid parking lot outside the urban area, and set up a timing feeding machine for the pigs and rabbits.Then the two turned on the ventilator of the car, locked the car, took a change of clothes and toiletries, and found a hotel with a decent environment in the urban area to stay.

In fact, when I got here, I heard their accents were completely different.Although the three northeastern provinces are always put together, it sounds like a place, but you must know that the total land area of ​​the three northeastern provinces is not close at all, and the distance between the top and bottom is almost the distance of six or seven cities in the central area of ​​the country.

Although the dialects are all Northeast dialects, how could the accent be exactly the same over such a long distance.Sometimes when I inquire about things with the locals, the other party speaks too quickly and neither of them can understand.

The urban area here may be because it is close to the capital, the situation is relatively good, the urban recovery is better, and people's living costs are not so high.

That night, the two had a good night's sleep in the hotel, and when they went downstairs, they saw an old man lying on a rocking chair, drinking tea leisurely.At a glance, Xiang Luo felt that he might stand up and do some Tai Chi at any time, and it seemed too leisurely.

Sitting by the side and chatting for a while, the old man shook his head: "What are you doing in Beijing? There are so many people there, and there are few opportunities. Why don't you two young men eat, why join them in the fun."

"The main thing is to inquire about the news. The world is not good, and you have to know the first-hand information before you can think about how to do things later."

The uncle nodded straight after hearing this, and only felt that it made sense: "That's right. If you want to turn around in this world, you must be well-informed. It's not safe to go from here to the capital. It should be said that the surrounding circles of the capital are not safe. Even if it is In the urban area here, there have been riots twice after this year, and many people have died. They all know that the investigation in Beijing is strict, and those who do not do good deeds will not be able to eat. But as long as they happen to be in places that happen to be beyond the control of the capital If you keep watch, you won't be afraid that the fat will not reach your mouth. They are all people who lick blood from the knife edge, they are so hungry, I am afraid that even the official will dare to touch it."

Xiang Luo only frowned and said, "Is there really no way to keep them lawless?"

The uncle shook his head: "It doesn't matter. When the hearts of the people are lacking and the food is not enough to eat, no matter how much you give them, they just want to eat, even if they are full, they will steal it. If you kill one, it will come out ten times." One. In the final analysis, it is the problem of hunger. Since ancient times, the more famine there is, the more serious the bandits and bandits are. Not everyone is satisfied with a few catties of relief food from the government. They see a catty of grain, and their brains What he thinks here is a hundred catties to a thousand catties, even if all the food in the country is stuffed into his stomach alone, he is not afraid of being overwhelmed to death."

This is quite deep.

Xiang Luo couldn't help but look at this uncle carefully.He was wearing a vest and big pants, and he could smell sweat from afar.In his hand, he held a plastic round fan that looked like a child's toy, and he fanned it one after another.

Similar to most old men before the end of the world.

But he really understands.

"That is to say, in fact, the best way to govern them is to solve the food problem." Xiang Luo said.

In fact, who doesn't know this?Not only these bandits, but also people in the country and even the world who are constantly on the verge of famine need food solutions.

But food is something that the whole world is worried about.But so far no news has come out.At least in the city here, there is no news yet.

"If the group of robbers finds out that the food they have robbed with their lives, they only need to dig a hole in the pile and wait for a year to harvest, and they can make a lot of money because of it, instead of putting their heads on their belts like now Then, no one will do the business of robbing people anymore. Or most of them won’t. Just wait, as soon as the food is settled, the first thing to have is to crack down. Now clamor The group of grandchildren who died now will be considered an advantage. At that time, if one of them counts as one, don't even think about a good end."

The uncle got angry with what he said, and turned around and stopped talking.Xiang Luozhuyan glanced at each other, got up and went for a walk elsewhere.

This side is close to the capital, but in fact, there are still many people who come from the capital.Xiang Luo and the two have been wandering around in crowded places for the past two days.Fortunately, those who have the time to go out in this world basically talk about the biggest things they know.For example, the recent changes in regulations in Beijing, and the deployment of troops, I am afraid that there are other things.

Xiang Luo is not very good at chatting, but fortunately Zhu Yan is a fine person, quite good at asking what he wants to hear.

Go to the market, two or three times a day, and each time you have a different harvest.

Especially the next afternoon, the two actually saw a rabbit in the market.

Although the two of them came out just to use an excuse from the outside, to take the pig and the rabbit back in an open and honest manner.But you have to buy it on the way, and you will be more confident when you go back and talk about it.In addition, for every transaction on the market side, you can go to the official to get a seal to prove the transaction time and reasonable legality.That's more convenient.

Xiang Luo saw [-] rabbits on a stall, and many people had already gathered around.It's just that the price is set too high, and most people still plan to bargain again.Others also plan to wait for someone to lower the price to a controllable range before going up to buy.

The seller was a fat man wearing a vest that was lifted up to reveal his stomach.Such people are really rare in the last days. Obviously, the days after the last days are quite nourishing.More than half of the credit should be attributed to the rabbits sold at his stall.

These rabbits are big or small, look at the price, five hundred catties of food for big rabbits, three hundred catties for small rabbits.

It is indeed expensive.But that's because rabbits are already in circulation in the world.In fact, if there is really no other seller in the local area, even if he sells 20 to [-], anyone who wants to raise rabbits must buy it.

Just like I knew in the village before, if other people don't have ducks, their ducks can be sold even if they sell [-] ducks.But if there are too many ducks sold and the market starts to circulate, the value of ducks will deteriorate over time, and even become worthless.

Just like mushrooms, when they first came out, there were [-] catties of grain per catty, and some people gritted their teeth and bought them.Until now, not many people buy one or two catties of grain for one catty of fresh mushrooms.

It's a matter of supply and demand.

At this price, it is very likely that there are other people selling it in the market.
