food crisis [end times]

As the temperature cooled down at night, Xiang Luo woke up in the middle of the night and pulled out the duvet and made the bed.But Zhu Yan slept deeply, hugged the quilt tightly and didn't give it to Xiang Luo.

Xiang Luo couldn't bear to wake Zhu Yan up, so he slept with his son in his arms.Not to mention, this little Nao Nao is quite warm with fur all over his body.

When I woke up the next day, there was no one next to the bed.He got up and put on his clothes to go out, and saw that Zhu Yan was eating apples and chatting with Anwei.

Apples are resistant to storage, as long as they are stored at low temperature, they will be fine for three to four months.

Seeing Xiang Luo, Zhu Yan casually threw one to him.

Xiang Luo took a bite of the apple, it was sweet and delicious, this apple should not have been cheap in the past.

"A drone came to the yard just now." Zhu Yan swallowed the apple in his mouth, "He said that someone will come to deliver supplies and do inspections from door to door. In addition, there is a temperature drop warning, which is said to be a red cold wave warning. I'm afraid the temperature will drop even more today."

I wanted to be taken aback: "Drones? Are there troops nearby?"

Zhu Yan shook his head: "I heard from them that they arrived last night. After arriving, they first took over the defense of our village and let the people who were on guard go back first. It rained heavily last night and the temperature dropped. Ordinary people must not be able to bear it. When I was listening to the drone broadcast just now, I looked outside, and the ground was covered with a layer of ice. It was at least five degrees below zero or even lower. It was still snowing in the morning, but now it’s just sunny.”

In fact, it stands to reason that they should have arrived a long time ago, and being able to arrive now means that their situation is not optimistic.

In the past, they searched for infected people from house to house, and there would inevitably be conflicts, but facing the surname of ordinary bosses, they couldn't really do anything, unless the other party was killing people.

If some of them are scratched and bitten by infected people, they must be isolated.

After the outbreak of the loss, the centralized isolation area is the hardest hit area for zombies. The army must first solve the situation there, and then investigate other places one by one.

When zombies broke out, cities were densely populated and far more dangerous than rural areas.On the contrary, every household in the countryside has a single house. As long as there are no infected people in the house, no one can get in once the door is closed.

Therefore, in terms of rescue, the rural areas are temporarily behind.

The presence of the army here also means that the situation in the city has basically been resolved.

Xiang Luo wanted to understand this, and took another bite of the apple.Looking at the layer of frost condensed on the window, I felt a little cold after I realized it.

"Let's light the stove." Xiang Luo said.

"That's what I thought last night, but I didn't find any coal." An Wei said, "I woke up from the cold last night. Fortunately, I lived in a kang. I got up and lit the fire to warm it up. But the warmth depends on the heating. Burn."

Xiang Luo's family doesn't have much else, and coal is still enough.Just to make it less conspicuous, there is a room in the lower house full of ordinary coal, and there is a basement under the garage full of briquettes.They were all transported by Wuling Hongguang one car after another without anyone noticing.

Xiang Luo found out the sweater and padded jacket that had been compressed with a vacuum machine, and the three of them put them on separately.Zhu Yan cooks and An Wei lights the fire.Xiang Luo took the iron bucket and went to the coal storage room to load a bucket of coal and came back.

Zhu Yan dug out a box of self-heating hot pot, put the self-heating bag away, and kept the packaging box, thinking that it might be needed in the future, then found some more sweet potato vermicelli, cut it with a frozen fish, and Cut a little potato sweet potato.Take out the alcohol pot and cut the ingredients, and eat the self-heating hot pot as a serious hot pot.

An Wei obviously grew up in the village and knew how to light a stove.Xiang Luo filled the heater with water, and Anwei ignited the stove.The stove heats up the water temperature as soon as it is fired.Water enters the radiator along the water pipe to dissipate heat to form a cycle.With the steaming hot pot, the temperature in the room rose.

Seeing the indoor temperature rise from five degrees to twenty degrees.The three of them took off their down jackets and ate hot pot happily.

Cut an apple and put it on a plate and open a bottle of drink.The three of them didn't drink alcohol, but they ate happily.

The food I eat recently is a bit bland, and there is nothing more blissful than eating something that stimulates the taste buds all at once.

When I was about to finish eating, I heard a faint sound of horns outside, the windows and doors were closed, and the sound from the outside was very weak due to the double-layer soundproof windows.

Xiang Luo put on his down jacket and asked them to continue eating. He wiped off the steam from the melted frost on the glass, and it turned out to be an army green car outside.This is military.

After leaving the door, the soldier at the door was about to knock on the door when he saw Xiang Luo salute him: "Our family is doing well."

That's a very kind word.

Eight people got on and off the military truck, all of them were young people, but their expressions were not very good. Obviously, the past few days have not been good.

Then came two doctors in white clothes. No one in the house had a fever, so Xiang Luo didn't have any resistance.He hurriedly opened the door to welcome people in, and asked the soldiers to follow them into the house to keep warm.

"No, we have to rush to the next one right away. This time it is the emergency supplies that were urgently approved in our area. There are not many, but there should be a second batch soon. In addition, regarding the zombies, this is a supplementary explanation, You need to understand." The leading soldier handed Xiang Luo a piece of paper.The words on it are a bit small, and a lot of content is densely written on a piece of paper, making it difficult for people to read.

It can be seen that there are not many A4 papers for publicity at the moment.

Seeing that Xiang Luo read the propaganda paper carefully, the soldier was satisfied, and said: "In addition, if you drink water, it is best to boil it for more than 10 minutes after simple filtration. Don't eat moldy food! The current research results appeared later for no reason. Zombies are basically related to eating moldy food. Mold can survive in water for a long time, and it can persist in high temperature for a few minutes. So the water must be boiled for a long time, otherwise there will still be risks. I will send supplies next time If not, it will be exchanged for moldy food. These moldy food is extremely unstable now and must be collected and destroyed.”

"My family basically uses vacuum packaging to deal with it, and I haven't seen moldy food yet. I will pay attention to the water."

A fully cooperative person like Xiang Luo is what the soldiers like to see the most.After all, the situation is already very difficult, and it is already the greatest help not to cause trouble.

Then several soldiers moved the supplies over simply and neatly.A total of two hundred catties of coal, two packs of ten catties of vacuum-packed rice, three packs of ten catties of vacuum-packed corn dregs, five packs of compressed biscuits and five sterilized effervescent tablets.

Not much, but enough for an emergency.

This is not based on the head, but according to the uniform standard of each household.Of course, it is better if there are fewer people, like the three gentlemen in Xiang Luo's family, [-] catties of rice and [-] catties of corn dregs can barely last for a month at most.

But that's free too.Now you can't even buy a catty of rice.It is a luxury to be able to share rice.

They were about to go to the next house after moving in. At this time, Zhu Yan came out with two kettles: "Take this first."

The officer shook his head again and again: "We can't ask for this!"

Zhu Yan said: "I didn't say I'll give you all, it's for the hot water in you. Pour a cup of hot water for each soldier to keep warm. Ginger is added in it to avoid getting sick. After drinking, send the thermos bottle back .Things are disciplined and you can’t ask for them. A little water won’t be enough.”

They are busy going from house to house, not to mention hot water, sometimes they have to find time to drink a sip of water to moisten their throats.

The officer just wanted to refuse, but when he looked back, he saw that his soldiers had chapped lips. They had been busy for two days and two nights, and the average rest time was no more than one hour a day.

The iron-clad body couldn't take it anymore.

"Then we'll send you the thermos right away. Before that, you go back to the house and check your body first."

The military and civilian fish and water conditions are the same thing, and this task must be done as soon as possible.

I went back to the house and did a simple check, this time not only taking temperature and checking the wound, but also a blood test.According to research, after a person is infected, there will be blood problems in a short period of time. This can be discovered very early, and the time between the outbreak and discovery can be extended as much as possible, and the person should be caught before he becomes a zombie.

When drawing blood, Xiang Luo asked, "Are those zombies easy to deal with?"

The nurse who helped to draw blood was young, her face was flushed from the cold, and it looked like she hadn't been working for a long time.She was relieved to see the blood entering the test tube, and then she raised her head and said: "It's easy to deal with. If you destroy the head or neck, you will die. The army has no difficulty in dealing with them, even using helicopters to solve them like playing games. The trouble is Families who have lost loved ones, and the food problem now."

In those related works on the subject of zombies, zombies are always depicted as a headache for soldiers, but what you need to know is that modern army training targets enemies who are also trained hard to use hot weapons!

If zombies fought close to each other in ancient times, it might be very troublesome.But in contemporary terms, no matter how many zombies there are, it is just a matter of counting bullets.Even if it is hundreds of millions of zombies, a few cannonballs can solve it.

There are no thoughts but only biting monsters. Compared with enemies who can use tricks, hold hot weapons, and are more ferocious, the task difficulty is easier than in Novice Village.

"Then how long will we have enough food?" Xiang Luo asked.

The person on the other side was startled, and shook his head after a while: "I don't know."

But the situation is definitely not optimistic.

In fact, the countryside is better, and the villagers are used to hoarding grain.Even if the mold was severe before, there will definitely be remedial measures after discovery.No matter how you put it, there is more grain than in the city.

It's just that no matter how much there is, most of the food will become moldy and can't be eaten.Due to the infection of germs, the land does not even grow weeds, and now the temperature has started to drop again, and the temperature is already below zero in September.

I'm afraid this famine will come this year.

I don't know how long the food in the hands of the government can last.

The soldiers sent relief supplies to the next family. When they came back, the officers ordered everyone to drink the hot water sent by Xiang Luo's family. It was a little kindness from the villagers.

As soon as the lid of the thermos bottle is opened, you can smell ginger along with the heat.Ginger tea is not something everyone can drink, but it is definitely a magic weapon for warming up in cold weather.

Can be poured out a cup to see the color, it is dark red.

A little soldier tasted it curiously, and said in surprise, "It's sweet! It's brown sugar water!"
