Baltimore is located in the Washington Metropolitan Area, and there are many research institutions here. Elder Joseph also had a heart for the country and all mankind when he protected several fleeing members of the National Academy of Sciences. At that time, he was still thinking about his own righteousness.
feel proud.
But as time went by, it was discovered that the academicians were useless. They were all very old, even in their seventies or eighties, and suffered from various ailments and needed special care. They were asked to work but could not do anything. They were obviously full of money.
His knowledge is worse than that of a rice worm, he is a complete dung-making machine.
This is like buying a blue chip stock, originally thinking that it would rise all the way, but in the end it fell all the way, and even lost all his pants. So regardless of whether it was a loss or not, Elder Joseph could only hold his nose and accept the deal.
.
Seeing those trembling academicians being sent to separate rest tents, Elder Joseph could only sigh, feeling that maybe he had really done a good thing. But what he had to do now was to return quickly with the medicines he had exchanged.
Go to a shelter.
"Don't you want the pot camel machine?" Seeing that Elder Joseph was about to leave, the handover personnel sent from the camp specially reminded him.
"Can you give us the pot camel machine now?" Of course Elder Joseph wants the pot camel machine. Although the unit power of the thing is small and it occupies a large area, it is better than the bicycle power generation equipment! And with electricity, we can do it
There are so many things.
There was indeed a pot machine in the temporary camp. It was a backup power generation device specially brought with him in case Zhou Qingfeng left with the 'nuclear fusion battery'. The person who came to hand over the machine nodded firmly and said: "We can
I will help you transport it to the shelter and come to teach you how to install and use it."
"No, no, no, I can send someone to learn how to use it. And we can transport it ourselves." Elder Joseph still stuck to his bottom line and refused on the spot. He was determined not to let anyone from the action team enter the shelter, "I can do it now
Arrange a few soldiers to learn how to operate."
The boiler machine is not a precision equipment, but a stupid, bulky antique-level machine. To put it bluntly, it is a boiler carrying a steam engine. It is a very compact power equipment and can be made smaller. Provided by the action team
It's a movable pot machine with wheels, 25 horsepower, and several hundred kilograms.
To put it bluntly, this thing is about burning a stove, how to ignite the fire, how to ensure the air pressure, how to deflate the air when the air pressure is high, and some simple troubleshooting. A dozen soldiers in the shelter here are following to learn how to operate it, but Elder Joseph is in the camp over there.
Wandering around, I wanted to see this strange team for myself.
Due to the large number of people accommodated, the temporary camp became bustling, and everyone had to undergo a simple physical examination, followed by a large amount of medication and meals.
There were only two or three doctors in the action team, and a few coolies were temporarily hired as assistants. Watching the sold-out personnel queuing up for examination, this simple scene made Elder Joseph tremble with fear.
These guys are really luxurious!
First of all, all personnel need to take a bath, of course a hot bath. Water is needed for bathing, so a water pump is required. The pumped water is sent to the field cooking vehicle. There is a high-power electric heater on the vehicle, which can cook water every minute.
Provide hundreds of liters of boiling water.
This damn thing is consuming a lot of power!
This kind of power consumption alone is not what a pot camel machine can provide. Do these guys have more than one pot camel machine? No wonder they generously gave us one. The elder thought so.
After taking a shower, people went naked to undergo physical examinations in the bathroom. Many of them were skinny and skinny, with various illnesses emerging one after another. The doctors immediately opened the medicine boxes carried by the convoy and used various scarce medicines as if they were free.
All the people who were sold felt relieved when they found that they were being treated well. This was by no means treating themselves as slaves or food. This was truly treating themselves as useful people.
Elder Joseph was horrified by what he saw. He once again confirmed that the people in this armed convoy really did not lack medicine. The medicine they spent on various shelter personnel was several times more than what was given to the shelter.
"It's strange, where do these people come from? They only have more than 20 vehicles. It is impossible to meet the survival needs of hundreds of people in any case!" Elder Joseph still felt incredible. In fact, the camp had become very crowded.
The sheltered people had to live densely in some tents.
What surprised the elder even more was that this convoy actually served late-night snacks. He saw with his own eyes several light trucks carrying boxes of noodles one after another until they were empty. This kind of noodles is called 'Supreme' noodles.
Boil it in boiling water for a few minutes and then eat it. It is extremely delicious when paired with sauce.
"Elder Joseph, here are your noodles." The cook took the initiative to give a plate full of food and reminded: "Eat quickly, the weather is getting cold quickly."
In order to keep warm, everyone gathered in a large tent to eat noodles. Several portable boilers were burning in the tent, which made the temperature of more than ten degrees below zero rise to above zero. This made people feel much warmer.
After a mouthful of hot noodles, the aroma of oil directly stimulates people's appetite. A plate of noodles makes people feel warm all over. What surprised the elder even more is that the noodles here are open to eat.
, open to eat!
I remember that the elders in the shelter fought hard and robbed tens of thousands of tons of supplies in the city at the cost of hundreds of people. But now it seems that these supplies can no longer meet the needs inside the shelter, otherwise there would not be so much.
People starve.
And how extravagant is this team? Where do they have the confidence to let people eat freely?
Elder Joseph was sitting among the dining crowd and noticed that the diners were coming and going and leaving without stopping after eating. He asked a few questions and learned that these people had to work even after they were full.
"It's late at night, what are you still doing?" Elder Joseph knew that although the worst stage of nuclear winter has passed, water is still dripping and turning into ice at night. Do you still need to work in this environment?
"We all want to work. Only by working can we have food and survive." The speaker was a middle-aged white woman, eating noodles silently, and then leaving with a plate in hand.
"Patti, you are Patty." Elder Joseph recognized the woman in front of him. She was the first woman to be traded yesterday. At that time, she was dumbfounded and completely looked like a fool. But in just one day, this originally fast woman
The starved woman is rejuvenated.
"Yes, I am Patty. Mr. Elder, thank you very much for trading me out, otherwise I would be dead. And here, I have hope of living again." The white woman said politely, but her tone was gentle.
Her eyes are inevitably full of resentment. In the shelter, she is the lowest class with no value. This means that she does not even have the most basic guarantee of survival.
Seeing that the woman who was as humble as an ant in the past dared to sneer at him, Elder Joseph couldn't help but said with a straight face: "It seems that you have integrated into this team, but I don't think much of you at all. You are eating and drinking so happily now. It's quite enjoyable."
Yes. But what about tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow? How many days can your leader last?"
Unexpectedly, the white woman did not show any frustration. Instead, she sneered: "Your Excellency, Elder, you don't have to worry about this. With the regiment commander here, we can keep going. As for the food and drink in front of us, this is too trivial. We will clear it soon."
On the landing runway, a transport plane will bring supplies tomorrow."
