In the far north, among the vast coniferous forests, there is a remote town with only one railway stretching through it.
There are dozens of lumberyards here, producing high-quality red pine wood with a long history, which is used to make high-value furniture. The entire town is mainly engaged in the industrial chain related to the logging industry, and the name of the city is also called Red Pine City.
p>
The trees in the cold zone grow slowly and must be harvested in separate areas, and many areas must be divided. Only one area is harvested each year and replanted immediately after felling to ensure continuous wood and sustainable development.
Fortunately, the land in the far north is vast, and the area covered by a small city is hundreds of times that of the prosperous areas in the interior. An ordinary city in the interior covers an area of only hundreds or thousands of square kilometers, but here it easily exceeds 100,000 square kilometers.

However, at this moment, this originally prosperous red pine city with no worries about livelihood has been cut off from traffic and communications, and is on the verge of chaos.
A thick fog covered the city, completely submerging it and disappearing into the vast northern jungle.
In the management office in the center of the city, several leading local figures were gathering together, sitting in front of a mahogany round table, discussing matters.
"It's been seven days. Even if we can't communicate with the outside world, the outside world should have discovered a problem and sent people to check for abnormalities." A middle-aged man said worriedly. His face had typical cold zone features, he was tall and had a high nose.
Deep-set eye sockets.
He is the mayor of this city, Wang Hailu, who is fully responsible for daily affairs. He looks sad at this time.
Sitting opposite him was an old man named Zhong Boshuang, who was the city's financial officer.
The old man sighed and said, "There is not much food stored in the city. It is enough for about two weeks. If we can't open up external transportation, then we will be in a situation of food shortage? The consequences will be unimaginable? The city mayor should make plans in advance and implement the war."
The economy is better now."
Several other people were awestruck? Of course they knew that Zhong Boshuang was not lying, because Hongsong City could not be self-sufficient in food, and the main business here was logging. Are there some vegetable gardens outside the city? They only provide fresh vegetables, which is not enough for the whole city.
Consumption.
Every time, the wood is sold, and then the cattle, sheep, fruits and vegetables are transported. This industrial model? It was very healthy in the past. After all, the value of wood here is much higher than that of food. And it is mechanized and scientific production? There is no need to worry about the extinction of wood resources. But now we are in a desperate situation. The wood is piling up in mountains?
"Why don't you grow mushrooms quickly? There is still a lot of wood that has not been transported out of the city. The temperature is not low now. If you get the wood in time to grow mushrooms, you should be able to survive until reinforcements arrive." A local boss named Yu said.
suggested.
In Wen Rensheng's previous life, there were many rich people who built various doomsday fortresses, and there were even companies specializing in this industry. However, in this world, there are many crises, and capable people will naturally make more preparations.
Highly recommended, it’s really good and worth installing. After all, you can cache and read books offline!
The boss here is always prepared. Growing mushrooms at the end of the world is also an idea he saw on the Internet. Of course, this idea is very unreliable. After all, the production of mushrooms requires organic matter. It cannot use solar energy for photosynthesis, so it is definitely not suitable.
As a source of doomsday food.
Boss Yu originally moved to a big city inland early, but he still has many industries in Red Pine City, including wood processing and furniture making. This time he came to see the situation, but he ended up being trapped here.
"Where do you get the time to grow mushrooms?" the financial officer shook his head.
At this time, a young man next to him, in his thirties, named Shi Longyu, was the city's police chief. He agreed, "Boss Yu is right. Maybe it's too late, but at least it can give the common people a chance."
I hope to make them feel at ease. Otherwise, with our few manpower, once fifty or sixty thousand civilians get into chaos, it will be a disaster. I have an informant who has sent me news. I heard that someone is secretly spreading rumors that the end of the world has come.
."
"The end is coming. This is absolutely impossible! I was in Beibing City a week ago. Everything was normal there and all industries were prosperous. There is no way there will be an end!" When Boss Yu heard this, he immediately shouted.
He never believes in the end of the world, and he is not willing to have a doomsday restart. He owns a business worth hundreds of millions, and dozens of properties... He is only 60 years old this year, and he heard that the alien world has long had drugs that can extend the life of mortals.
Now the price seems to have dropped a lot, and his good days are still to come. How can he accept the sudden outbreak of doomsday?
The others looked at Boss Yu and remained silent, just making their own calculations in their minds.
There has been no news for a week. Under normal circumstances, their management office has to contact the superior agency online every day and report various situations. If there is no contact for a day, someone will come over immediately to investigate the abnormality.
There has been no movement for a week, so the doomsday theory may not be false.
It's just that they still force themselves to believe that everything is great outside, and it's normal that this place is remote and cannot be supported for a while.
After a while, the city mayor Wang Hailu clapped his hands and said decisively, "Okay, Long Yu, you should quickly organize the manpower, the security officers of your security station, and call up the reserve militia, select reliable people, carry out temporary arming, and then draw out some
People, cooperate with Lao Zhong to implement a wartime economy, centralize food, and distribute it rationed. Lao Yu, take people to agricultural companies to see if there are any mushrooms, and quickly gather people to work to grow mushrooms..."
As he said, he focused on three aspects: manpower, food, and work. He firmly grasped the core and arranged everything in an orderly manner so that others would be convinced.
It's just that these people don't know that there is also a group of people gathering in a residential area in Red Pine City.
"The doomsday has broken out. According to what is written in the novel, whoever is prepared first will survive!" A bald man said dancing and excited, his face very excited.

He seemed to see all the gold in the city, and the women were all at his mercy.
"Boss Wang, what's the basis for your claim that the apocalypse will break out? I haven't seen any zombie monsters appearing?" A young man asked doubtfully.
"Fool, haven't you seen the heavy fog all over the city? This is the early days of the apocalypse. First there will be a fog blockade, then monsters will appear in the fog, and then monsters will eat people... Now is the time for us to prepare, we must
Take action quickly, organize people quickly, grab and accumulate food, by then we will have whatever we want, and whoever wants to be happy can be whoever we want!" said the bald man, waving his arms.
"Okay, listen to big brother!"
"I heard that in the apocalypse, some people will mutate. The rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation. I wonder if we can mutate into those extraordinary people?" Someone drooled.
"It's definitely possible. As long as we survive to the end, all the benefits will be ours!" Boss Wang affirmed and took over everything.
Although Dongzhou is developed, no matter how developed it is, even if there is no shortage of food and drink, there will still be dissatisfied and lazy people. This is the result of human nature.
This group of people are all workers in the lumberyard, but they are usually lazy and often absent from work. They form gangs and intimidate good people so that they can continue to hang out in the lumberyard.
Because of the remote location, it was difficult to recruit workers, so the managers pretended not to notice, lest they get angry and make other workers unable to stay.
But now that there is heavy fog and the city is isolated, these people immediately think that it is the same as in movies and novels, that it is the end of the world, everyone only looks at fists, and wealth is redistributed.
These people started shouting and relying on their skills gained from fighting, they were confident that they could deal with the idiots in the office, so under the arrangement of Boss Wang, they started to get busy.
Chaos and order are operating spontaneously at the same time in this small northern city.
