Snowflakes began to float in the air again.
The small white feathers are like blown pear blossoms, scattered and scattered.
The earth is covered with snow, and the biting cold wind blows.
After everyone came out of the electronics wholesale market, it snowed again.
This made everyone feel less happy.
The body of the tiger we just encountered was also missing.
But now they are not in the mood to look for it, nor do they have the energy to look for it again.
With a heavy heart, the vehicle drove slowly.
Driving all the way, the speed is not fast, but it is very stable.
The snow on the road is still so thick, and the snow shovels continue to shovel some of the snow away, clearing a passable road.
Everyone in the car simply has something to eat.
Li Yu suddenly said: "Shang Xueer, do you remember how many people there were when you finally left Jiefang City?"
Shang Xueer took the food in her hand, paused slightly, thought about it and said:
"Later on, after Director Zhang took in some refugees, some more people joined later. I don't know the exact number, but there shouldn't be thousands of people, maybe eight or nine hundred.
But then there were riots, and a lot of people probably died, mainly due to conflicts between refugees and indigenous residents. After the subsequent riots, we couldn't control them at all.
After that, it was Lao Lu who took us and escaped.
At that time, there was complete chaos in Jiefang City, with everyone robbing each other and causing conflicts."
Li Yu never asked much about why Lao Lu and the others escaped from Jiefang City.
Looking at Shang Xueer at this time, he actually knew why Jiefang City eventually perished.
The most fundamental reason is the food crisis. With a large population and unable to feed so many people, conflicts will naturally occur.
In any era, once a food crisis occurs, the greater the food gap, the greater the turmoil.
The second reason is that as the population increases, managers cannot manage so many people and do not have enough power to control ordinary people.
Gun barrel, pen barrel, hoe barrel.
The barrel of a gun refers to the force's armed strength, equipment, population, force value, etc.
The pen refers to the recognition under governance, the spread of public opinion, the sense of belonging, and compliance with the people's wishes.
Although at this time, in the apocalypse, morality has declined, there are still times when we need to rely on the pen to win over the people.
The hoe pole refers to food. If people cannot survive with the most basic food, it will not be very convincing.
Li Yu is not a great man. He thinks he does not have that kind of appeal, so he has not expanded the base team to a particularly large number.
The most important thing is that in this apocalypse, there was heavy rain before, then drought, and now there is heavy snow.
There is a lack of land and the conditions for planting are so difficult, which means it is impossible to feed that many people.
The land does not have the most basic material foundation. Just relying on ideals and dreams is tantamount to wishful thinking.
You need to know that back then they were also shouting: to fight against the local tyrants and divide their fields...
People are realistic.
But Li Hang and Cannon probably didn’t quite understand this, so Li Hang asked: “What is the root cause of the riot?”… Shang Xueer said with some regret:
"You may not be able to imagine that in the later stages of the liberation of the city, none of us could find much food, and people hundreds of years older were hungry every day.
Even we can only eat one meal a day, not to mention the ordinary people in Jiefang City, some of whom starve to death.
Then some group leaders had a lot of food in their hands. At that time, Director Zhang asked these people to divide some food, but they did not give it to them.
In the end, Director Zhang was killed, and then a riot broke out. Everyone started grabbing food, and then everyone went crazy.
To be honest, joining our base has been the happiest life I have ever had since the apocalypse broke out.
At least we can have enough to eat every day, and a safe place, so we don’t have to worry about danger every night, and the environment in our base is so good."
Hearing what Shang Xueer said, Yang Tianlong and Da Pao both remembered the time before they joined the base, and thought that it had been a long time.
But at that time, they were indeed living in an environment of lack of food and crisis around them.
Now that I think about it, such a long time has passed.
Li Hang has never experienced lack of food. Although after the apocalypse broke out, he often went out to kill zombies and even faced many enemies, but he still never went hungry.
As Li Hang listened to Shang Xueer's words, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
Li Yu nodded and said to Shang Xueer: "Don't worry, now that you have joined us, we will work together to protect the base. I promise that we will not encounter this kind of situation in the future."
Hearing this, Shang Xueer nodded gratefully and said:
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your acceptance.
But, I have always been worried about one thing. Our base environment is so good and everything is good, but if one day a force more powerful than us appears, what will we do?"
Hearing this, Li Yu looked at her deeply and asked, "What do you think we can do?"
Shang Xueer frowned and said: "Expand manpower, expand our base, and improve our strength.
But when there are too many people, things like Jiefang City are prone to happen, and food supply is a problem.
Now that so much land is unusable and the weather is like this, I find it very difficult.
I always feel that in today's apocalyptic world, it is difficult to have a very powerful force. In fact, we are also very powerful.
It's just that I'm worried that there will be someone more powerful than us...
Alas, I don’t know what to do either.”
Li Yu looked at her and said, "Think about how you joined us."
Shang Xueer seemed to understand, and immediately bowed and said with some regret:
"Sorry, I said too much. You have your own arrangements. I may have thought too one-sidedly."
Li Yu did not directly answer her words, but said calmly: "You can think of these and tell me directly, I am very happy.
Just like Director Zhang, you should be very clear about the lessons learned from Jiefang City.
The core of everything lies in productivity. The uncertainty of zombies, weather, and environment makes productivity full of uncertainty.
Let the bullets fly for a while, too many people does not mean strong strength, take your time."
When everyone heard this, they were all tasting what Li Yu meant.
...
Li Yu suddenly looked at Shang Xueer and asked, "Are you afraid of death?"
Shang Xueer was suddenly asked this question and was a little stunned. Is there any necessary connection between this question and what was just discussed?
But I still had to answer, so Shang Xueer said: "It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid, but I seem to be so afraid."
Li Yu smiled and didn't say much.
In this end of the world, he only believes in one thing. Only those who have enough to eat can talk about it.
.......
The way back was a little faster than the way here, but the speed was still not comparable to before the snow started.
I didn't encounter any other problems along the way.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, as the sun was setting, they arrived at the gas station outside the base.
