"How about salvaging them and cremating them? If they were allowed to float downstream, it would be really pitiful, not to mention polluting the water source."
Moreover, they had no clothes on their bodies, and they were all compatriots. No one could bear to let their bodies be exposed in the water if they had the ability.
Ye Fu nodded, "Let's salvage it."
There was a pit for burning corpses on the island. After the six corpses were salvaged, everyone discovered that the deceased were all older people, both male and female. They looked to be at least fifty or sixty years old.
.
Qi Yuan didn't want Xuxu to see the cremation scene, but Xuxu was brave and showed no fear on his face.
Everyone silently put the body into the pit, put some firewood on it, and poured gasoline on it.
"All the people who died were old people. There were no wounds on their bodies. Could it be food poisoning?"
Ye Fu looked at Qi Yuan, "What should I say?"
"I just saw that their faces were blue and their lips were black, which looked like symptoms of poisoning."
Ye Fu didn't look carefully just now and actually missed such an important detail.
"There is a possibility that the people in the refugee camp will not be able to eat enough with the three kilograms of relief food. They will go to the mountains around Haguang City to dig tree roots or pick leaves. The woods around Haguang City are almost all bare. If they
If you eat poisonous plants, you are very likely to be poisoned and die."
"If that's the case, that would be so pitiful."
After ten years of hard work, he finally died because of a mouthful of food.
After they were burned, some of their ashes were collected and buried in pine and cypress trees, and the other part was scattered into the stream and allowed to float down.
The ashes are not contaminated, so they can be scattered into water.
After returning to the wooden house, other people came over and asked what happened, and Qi Yuan told what had just happened.
Qi Yuan rubbed his face, "I hope the polar night will end soon. If the sun doesn't shine, the trees will die of lack of oxygen. At that time, the life of more than 100,000 people in the refugee camp will be even more difficult."
"There is a very serious problem. If tree roots cannot be dug, leaves cannot be picked, and tree bark cannot be chopped around Haguang City, refugees may reach out to the base or Haguang City. There are more than 100,000 refugees, not just one
With such a small number, once a person is extremely hungry, he can do anything." After Ye Fu finished speaking, he looked at everyone.
"Natural disasters will not end, man-made disasters will follow one after another, and I am worried that war or riots will break out."
"What?" Everyone was stunned by Ye Fu's words.
"Will there really be a war?" Wan Tao said, covering his face and sitting aside. No one is not afraid of war. War has always been far away from everyone. If it really comes, what will we do?
"Don't worry, everyone. If there is a war or riot, we can leave and go elsewhere. But I am not an alarmist. In history, after major disasters, peace has been restored through war. Disasters have left too many people without food, clothing or clothing.
If there is no warmth, there will be people who want to resist. There are too many people who don’t have enough to eat, and the accumulated resentment is also deep. They are the residents in the base who can have enough food, clothing, and houses to live in. Once someone calls for resistance, they will definitely respond.
.”
Several of the people here are highly educated, and many major events in history are of reference significance.
"I don't want to see a situation where my own people can't fight my own people. I can't accept my compatriots killing each other." Fu Jiao was young, and her hands trembled in fright at Ye Fu's words.
Fang Wei held her hand, "But, what can we do? Apart from preserving ourselves, we can't change anything."
"We just need to protect ourselves. In troubled times, we can only protect ourselves."
Although there are many weapons in the space, Ye Fu doesn't want to get involved in any fights. She has no interest in seizing power, and she doesn't want to waste bullets.
She couldn't afford to feed more people. There seemed to be a lot of space, but there were thirteen of them. One person could eat several meals a year, let alone thirteen people.
The best policy is to protect yourself. Not everyone can be a hero in troubled times.
"But if we still have to leave, where can we go?" Wenwen held her chin, thinking of something, her eyes lit up.
"We go home."
"Go home?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Yes, go home, go back to the home where you started. Dad, I want to go back and see my mother." Wenwen's words made Officer Song, a grown man, blush instantly.
"But our home is in Lancheng, which is in the south. It's far, far away from here."
Wenwen's eyes also filled with mist, "Then we will never be able to go home in this life?"
"It's definitely possible, I can definitely go back."
Others feel uncomfortable. Whenever they think of going home, they will think of their family members lost in the apocalypse.
"Don't be too nervous, everyone. It's midnight now. Even if a riot breaks out, it's not the best time."
Ye Fu had a different idea, "People are more impulsive and incited in the dark. The dark night is like a fig leaf, which can cover up crimes and provide the best protection for riots."
"If you were the leader of the base, how would you resettle the more than 100,000 refugees in the refugee camp?"
Ye Fu's question made everyone look at each other in confusion. The people most qualified to answer this question were Wan Tao and Liu Zhang.
"Increase the three kilograms of relief grain to five kilograms, build some simple houses around the refugee camp in Haguang City, and let men and women live separately. Patrollers with guns will be arranged to be on duty, and disobedient gangsters will be executed on the spot to achieve the effect of killing one to serve as a warning to others." Fang Ming's answer.
"When setting up small clinics in refugee camps, medicines cannot be free. Free medicine will expand people's greed and reduce the spread of diseases." Qi Yuan then added.
Wu Pei raised his hand, "I think orphans should be taken in. Children are the most pitiful. They don't understand anything. Moreover, if the base trains these orphans, it may have different effects."
"What should the old man do?"
Liu Zhang said, "Old people can also work. As long as people want to live, they will have unlimited desire to survive. If they are given jobs, such as sewing clothes or cleaning, the refugee camps will become cleaner and there will be fewer and fewer diseases." Diseases are all spread from Africa because some countries are poor and backward and do not pay attention to hygiene. Most importantly, the dirtier the place, the higher the chance of AIDS."
"That's true, but what we can think of, the base management can also think of. The key is, I now suspect that they want these people to fend for themselves." Tang Yizheng paused and continued, "Refer to animals, when there is a problem in the ecosystem , the animals with the weakest physique will be abandoned or given up immediately.”
Everyone understands the truth, but there are more than 100,000 people.
This is not a number, it is a human life every day.
"Listen to me." Ye Fu signaled everyone to be quiet.
"In this ecosystem, including humans, once a crisis comes, our first reaction is to run. We have no ability to save people, and running away is not shameful."
