Surviving the end of the world

Another problem brought about by the cold weather is the problem of drinking water. Both the river water and the well water have been frozen tightly. The well water is obviously helpless. If people go down the well to smash ice, it will be fatal in such a cold day Therefore, everyone had to put their minds on the river. The depth of the river was not very deep at first, but now it was completely frozen. Hitting it with a hammer was only a white mark. After several times without results, Everyone had to bring firewood, light it on the surface of the river, and put the river water in buckets and bring it back before the melted river water froze again.

Before, many people complained about Chen Jin bringing a man back. After all, everyone believed what he said about the partner at the beginning. After a long time, everyone knows what happened to these two people!In particular, the two of them didn't mean to hide at all. They went in and out together, and they were intimate and open in front of everyone. But now, there are two middle-aged men in the family, which is very advantageous. They are young, full of vitality, full of energy, and corresponding , I can work naturally, even if it was a little clumsy at first, it is an old-fashioned way now.

For example, now, in such a cold weather, only young and middle-aged men can come out. Those with a slightly weaker physique will feel cold in their bones after walking two steps, let alone standing on the frozen ice. Every time people see the two people working together, the husband makes a circle of fire, and then puts a large piece of ice in the middle into a big wooden bucket to carry back, everyone feels a little envious.

As for the question of saying that there will be no future, these days, if you marry a wife, there will be no future, but in two years, there will be no future in the village, not to mention extinct households. At this time, you still care about what to do. Just live on.

Because the doors and windows were blocked by quilts and cotton clothes, the light in the room was very dark, only a little red fire glowed on the table.Standing on the edge of the table, Chen Jin split a piece of frozen tofu with a knife, but it was frozen like a stone after being placed on the window sill overnight. Thin slices of mutton were peeled from the hard leg of lamb. The charcoal was burning in the brazier on the table. In an iron pot on the brazier, the milky white soup had begun to boil. Bai Jing peeled the mutton, from time to time He took out a piece of crispy stewed meat bone from the pot and stuffed it into his mouth, and also stuffed two pieces for Chen Jin by the way.

After finally cutting a plate of frozen tofu and a large pot of mutton slices, the two stopped. Chen Jin threw a few pieces of frozen tofu into the soup pot, and the soup stopped boiling immediately, which made Bai Jing bulge a little depressed However, he also poured half a pot of mutton slices into it, and then covered the glass pot lid, waiting eagerly for the soup pot to boil again.Chen Jin smiled, and dragged out a plate from one side. On the plate was a plate of marinated meat, pork feet, chicken giblets, duck giblets, etc., wrapped in a layer of jelly soup. Although it was cold, it still had a special flavor. The two of them didn't use chopsticks, so they directly squeezed it with their hands, dipped it in chili sauce, and ate happily.

Both of them had very good appetites. With the chili sauce they boiled at home, beads of sweat soon appeared on the tip of Chen Jin's nose. At this time, the center of the soup pot also began to roll, and Bai Jing excitedly lifted the lid of the pot. Moisture gushed out all of a sudden, and Bai Jing scooped up the mutton slices in the pot with a colander, contentedly put the slowly cooked mutton slices into the bowl in front of him, and then scooped another spoonful for Chen Jin. Dip your head in chili sauce and eat it.

It's always easy to eat more dishes when eating hot pot, not to mention that the two people's appetites are not small, not to mention the mutton slices that they ate weighed several catties, and there are more than a dozen kinds of hot vegetables alone If it weren't for the space, in this cold weather, besides the frozen cabbage and radishes, there are also homemade pickles, don't expect to be able to eat them.

Chen Jin and Bai Jing's life was very nourishing. After a sumptuous dinner, they began to feel full and lustful again. Correspondingly, many people's life was difficult.

In today's world, those deposits in the bank are reduced to even waste paper, at least waste paper can catch fire, and those various gold cards and VIP cards that used to represent the so-called status, what can they do now?Therefore, those who have nothing but money are the first to be abandoned at this time.

To be honest, according to the national conditions, the first pot of gold for the rich in the country is not so clean, even if it is the money they earn later, it may not be clean money. Moreover, because of the widening gap between the rich and the poor, the hatred of the rich is also very serious. Therefore, some people who can be said to have nothing will often do some extreme things when they are faced with despair. Therefore, some people who can be regarded as rich and unkind are the first to be retaliated against.

Of course, there are also people who are good at it. In addition to being rich, many people are also powerful, and they also have a lot of resources. At this time, the resources that can be used are the hard currency, such as food, cloth, coal, wood, and even cement. Lime, steel and building materials, as long as they work well, these people can live a very comfortable life. After all, many things can’t be obtained in a short while, coal mines and oil wells have all stopped production, and the country’s strategic reserves are not available casually. All kinds of factories have stopped working long ago, the traffic is inconvenient, the communication is blocked, and the power supply is paralyzed. The troubles caused are only the beginning.

The solar storm is still going on, and all kinds of satellites in space have become space junk. It has been too long to rely on these high-tech tools, so long that it is difficult for many experts to judge future climate changes and other changes by other means up.

Without the guarantee of good communication and transportation, the government can't control all the territory at all. Some forces with intentions are already quietly separatist. Anyway, some of them have guns and enough means of production on hand. Naturally, they can separatize one side and become the local emperor. As for The central government, haven’t you been unable to receive orders from the central government?

The government is also very straightforward. Since they cannot control all places, they can try to control as many people and resources as possible.

People like Chen Jin and the others naturally don't know that the central government has established the first security base in the central plain area and implemented a planned economy. Even in this era, the power that the current regime can exert is enormous. They can control the country in a short period of time. Most of the arable land in central China was destroyed, and basic industrial facilities were built. Experts from various industries gathered together to study how to increase production and how to get out of the current predicament.A large number of people are also concentrated to participate in labor, such as farming and working, to obtain contribution points, and use the contribution points to exchange for living materials including food and clothing.

However, at such a cold time, the base also encountered difficulties.In the past, the country was very cautious about nuclear power plants because of concerns about various issues such as nuclear leakage. It is mature and can only be used as an emergency measure.

And the weather is cold, even though the central China region is rich in water sources, the Yangtze River has been frozen due to the temperature, and even some water sections have been cut off. Where should the cold water for nuclear power plants come from? Therefore, After expending a lot of effort and finding that the gains outweighed the losses, the nuclear power plant naturally suspended its operation. Otherwise, there would be an accident without cold water cooling.

The power provided by solar power generation is limited, so naturally it can only be given priority to the upper floors of the base, and the labor at the lower floors is naturally useless, and the various heating materials distributed by the base are very insufficient, even the food is not so sufficient, and, In this kind of weather, the army to maintain order is obviously not willing to dispatch.People nowadays are not as simple as they were half a century ago. Even if people were starving to death at that time, they still had a firm belief that the great leader would lead them out of the predicament.But now, to say that people's hearts are not ancient is to flatter them. Today's people don't have any so-called beliefs at all. It is conceivable what they will do when they encounter desperation.

The upper floor of the base huddled in a warm room, with enough food and even some luxury enjoyment, and the soldiers did not get many resources. In order to reduce consumption, they also huddled in the same room after receiving the supplies assigned to them. Cat Dong in the camp, while those bottom-level residents who were either conscripted or managed to squeeze in were willing to pay any price for a shoddy ration.
