The next day, the entire town of Manbach was covered by blizzard, and the sky was very bright, partly from the sunlight reflected by the snow layer, and partly from the sun in the sky.
Heavy snowflakes were flying in the sky, but the rising sun hung on the horizon.
There is a kind of desolate beauty.
"What a heavy snow!"
Li Yinguang stood in front of the control room's lookout window, looking out. The snowy scenery was beautiful, but for those who did not have shelter or clothing to protect themselves from the cold, it was not so beautiful, but a cruel reality.
Xiaoman blinked and said with a smile: "Brother, let's go have a snowball fight and build a snowman on the top of the Iron Armored City?"
Children can be carefree.
Li Yinguang shook his head: "You go with Heizi, I want to go to town!"
"oh!"
Xiaoman felt a little depressed after hearing this, but he did not require Li Yinguang to accompany him. Everyone must have their own things to do.
As the Lord of the Iron Armored City, Li Yinguang is naturally no exception.
Manbach town, slum.
We didn't drive a 'heavy armored vehicle' today. We took three ordinary mechanically modified vehicles. The heavy armored vehicle was driven away by the housekeeper Goda to do some work.
"Why are there so many people?"
Li Yinguang got off the car and looked at the ragged, unkempt people gathered at the entrance of the 'Manbach Town Newspaper Office' and the 'Black Heart Grocery Store'. There were obviously many more people than yesterday, and they were all unfamiliar faces.
Old man Zhou had his hands in the sleeves of his luxurious fur coat, his neck was hunched, giving the impression of a wretched little old man, and he squinted his eyes and whispered: "Most of these are not people from the slums."
Li Yinguang frowned and said in confusion: "They are not people from the slums? Then where did they come from?"
Old Man Zhou said: "Outside the city, refugees in the refugee camp!"
"refugee?"
Li Yinguang was startled and asked in confusion: "How did the refugees from outside the city enter Manbach Town?"
Old man Zhou suddenly grinned at Li Yinguang, but his eyes were extremely cold and he said: "I was let in!"
Being let in? The town of Manbach has the right to let in people from the refugee camps outside the city, but there shouldn't be many of them.
"Porridge, or house?"
Old Man Zhou asked.
Li Yinguang frowned again and looked at him: "Why don't you give up?"
"Because some people were unhappy when they saw us leaving the porridge. I thought it was really not possible, so I removed the porridge stall first. Don't get into trouble because of such a trivial matter!" said Old Man Zhou.
Old man Zhou is an old fox. He has lived for such a long time, and he may have gained a lot of insight. He is also very subtle about the thoughts of the people in power above him.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for the refugees in the camping camp outside the town to enter the town of Manbach, especially such a large-scale influx, which is basically impossible unless they are specifically let in.
"Withdrawn?"
There was a coldness in Li Yinguang's eyes, and he really agreed with what he said. The rich people's bones were frozen to death on the road of wine and meat, and he was just holding a few pots, helping the poor, and doing some good deeds, and he could get into trouble.
If you are not happy with the dissatisfaction of those in power, you should do something to take away this merit.
"It's so cold. We are removing the porridge stalls in the slums. Hundreds of people may freeze to death tonight," Li Yinguang said.
Old man Zhou squinted his eyes, sighed, and whispered: "It's better for them to freeze to death than for us to be hated and killed by others. I don't remember what I told you last time. Kindness is a disease. In this world,
, we can’t even save ourselves, who else can we save?”
After saying that, he turned around and walked to a big pot. The afterimage slid past and there was a clang. The iron pot he was holding was kicked to the ground. Old man Zhou had his sleeves covered as if he had not moved.
Master!
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen me get angry? We moved the porridge stall. I won't give up the porridge today!" After finishing speaking, Old Man Zhou walked towards the Black Heart Grocery Store.
"City Lord, where are we?" Old Dog stood behind Li Yinguang and asked softly.
Li Yinguang looked up at the refugees crowding the streets and alleys. There were old people, children, women, children, and frail men. There was no hope in everyone's eyes, only the look of death, as if they were gasping for breath, waiting for death.
Arrive.
"The ghost world!"
Li Yinguang cursed in a low voice, then laughed randomly and said loudly: "Let's continue to give up the porridge today. Go and send someone to purchase more visceral fish bones of the 'Desolate Cod' and make more fish soup for everyone to share.
From now on, let’s support ten, no, twenty fucking cauldrons, keep the fire going day and night. We can make porridge if we can, and boil water if we can’t. How can we still suffocate ourselves to death with urine?
!”
After a pause, he said in a deep voice to the refugees on the street: "As soon as I have eaten enough and gained strength, I will go outside the town to cut firewood, collect wood, and dig grass roots. I can hold up twenty large pots, but I may not be able to
Whether you can survive this winter or not, you still have to rely on yourself!"
After saying that, he turned around and entered the small newspaper office in Manbach Town.
With tens of thousands of refugees outside the city and tens of thousands of poor people in the slums inside the city, Li Yinguang couldn't support this kind of consumption. Even if he only made cereal porridge, he couldn't sustain it for a few days.
There is no difference between refugees and poor people. They are both the lowest class and cannot provide enough food and clothing for themselves.
Old man Zhou did not dare to anger the upper class of Manbach Town because the old man was a businessman and he would not leave Manbach Town. Li Yinguang was a little different. He was the lord of the Iron Armored City!
“Master, do you still remember ‘Sweet Grass Vine’?”
After entering the office, Scarface said.
Li Yinguang turned to look at her: "Can sweet grass vine survive in winter?"
Scarface said: "The roots are fine. If you can dig out the frozen soil and dig down, you can also get the sweet grass vine. We usually rely on it to survive the winter, but the frozen soil is difficult to break, and it is easy to freeze.
, you can’t dig out much by manpower!”
Li Yinguang thought about it and said: "It shouldn't cost much to let Lao Bu modify a few excavators. It should be much easier to switch to mechanical excavation. The only question is, can the sweet grass vine support so many people through the winter?"
Scarface said with certainty: "If there are large-scale machines that can break through the permafrost and excavate on a large scale, it shouldn't be a problem to feed a hundred thousand people in the forest outside the city!"
It shows that the sweet grass vines outside the town are quite large. Now that the food has been found, the only thing to worry about is how much trouble Li Yinguang will cause if he does this.
"Now that hundreds of thousands of refugees and poor people have entered the town of Manbach, how many people do you think will listen to you and leave here?"
A woman dressed in a lady's tuxedo, a gentleman's hat on her head, high heels on her feet, and a beautiful crystal brooch on her chest walked in and said calmly.
Nightmare filly?
What about the butt, hind legs, and tail?
Li Yinguang's eyes lit up when he looked at Gu Liyan.
Scarface looked at her, frowned slightly and said, "We can dig out the sweetgrass vines and bring them to the slums to boil water for everyone to drink."
Gu Liyan asked calmly: "Then what can you gain? The favor of the poor and refugees? Or monetary and material rewards?"
Before Scarface could speak, Gu Liyan continued: "No way, you will only make them develop a habit and feel that feeding them is a matter of course. You will not remember your kindness. If you don't give
When they dig sweetgrass vines and are not responsible for providing food, they will curse you with the most vicious curses. This is the selfish evil of human beings and unchangeable human nature!"
The words made Scarface, Sophia and others frown, but they did not refute her words, because both Scarface and Sophia had lived at the bottom of society.
