Since there is an unlimited supply of food in the granary, people from the base logistics department will be responsible for supplying food and fuel to stalls that are out of stock in a timely manner.
The only iron rule that needs to be followed is to eliminate waste! Take as much as you eat, and any behavior that discards food will be severely punished by the base.
However, it turns out that Zhu Tian was obviously overly concerned about adding this rule.
How can those starving ghosts who have "never seen the world" be willing to waste it? When they eat one by one, they just want to burst their bellies, and they only regret that their parents have two less mouths.
Considering that there is no such thing as Jianweixiaoshi tablets in the base, after thinking for a moment, Zhu Tian had to make an additional clause - "No vomiting within 24 hours, otherwise I will eat them all!"
This order somewhat calmed down the hungry ghosts and made them feel a little more rational when enjoying their delicious food.
Of course, just eating was definitely not enough fun, so the survivors set up a bonfire in the center of the square and started an impromptu talent show.
The singing may not necessarily be good, and the dancing may not be beautiful, but it is undoubtedly lively.
People were sitting around in the center of the square with hot bowls in their hands, drinking hot soup and munching on barbecued meats. They were so happy.
Although the radioactive dust in the sky was still oppressive and the pale snowflakes were still cold, the rising fire flakes above the bonfire dispelled the gloom that filled people's hearts.
Standing side by side with Li Xinran on the roof of the community center, looking at the faces in the square filled with happy smiles, Zhu Tian couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
"Are you happy?" Looking at Zhu Tian's profile, Li Xinran smiled.
"certainly."
Half a year ago, this place was just an area of semi-collapsed villas. Not to mention inaccessible, there were not many zombies to see.
However, who would have thought that in just half a year, this place would be transformed into this prosperous appearance.
Looking at the smile at the corner of Zhu Tian's mouth, Li Xinran's cheeks were slightly red, and a smile also appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It's not because of the growth of the base, just because of the growth of the beloved one in front of me.
Half a year ago, she would not have imagined that Zhu Tian, who only knew how to make money, would grow into such an outstanding figure today.
"Really, I don't know how much food will be consumed tonight." Although she complained, there was no expression of opposition on her face, just like a quarrel between lovers.
"The material conditions are basically met, and the construction of spiritual civilization is also very important. It is better to spend energy on outdoor sports instead of drinking and taking drugs." Zhu Tian said with a smile.
"That's right." Looking at the lively atmosphere in the square, a look of nostalgia appeared on Li Xinran's face.
"What are you thinking about?"
"It's a long time coming."
Li Xinran said in a nostalgic tone: "While I was in the shelter, I couldn't feel the seasonal temperature changes, but whenever this special day came, people would gather together to celebrate. I vaguely remember that whenever this day comes,
Many old people would tell us stories about the ground. They said it was snowing there, people were setting off firecrackers, and eating delicious New Year's Eve dinner... Although I didn't know until the shelter opened that all this was false.
Yes, everything is just a fairy tale."
A shelter that has been closed for several years is like an island isolated from the world. While it is isolated from radiation, it is also isolated from all electromagnetic wave signals, making it impossible to receive any messages from the outside world.
But people still believe that when the iron gate opens, everything will be beautiful. After all, what stays in these people's eyes is only the halo of the nuclear explosion at the moment, not the shock wave sweeping through the crowd.
of ruthlessness.
"Do you think...they lied to you?" Zhu Tian asked softly.
"I thought about it before, but later I understood it more or less." Li Xinran shook his head and stared at the bonfire not far away with a complicated expression: "Humans are such fragile creatures. If you can't see hope, you will have to live."
Don’t go down.”
Even if they know that the moment the door opens, what awaits them may be nothing but ruins. But if they don't optimistically believe in the one percent possibility, they may not even have the courage to wait until the door opens.
"It's Chinese New Year, so it's better not to talk about such heavy topics." Zhu Tian hugged her waist and said softly.
"Yes." A blush appeared, dissipating the seriousness between his eyebrows, and Li Xinran lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Speaking of which, what do you do during the Chinese New Year?" In order to resolve the heavy atmosphere, she forcibly changed the subject.
"I usually spend time with my family." When he said this, Zhu Tian felt a little emotional.
In fact, he hasn't celebrated the New Year for a long time, for no other reason than that he is an orphan.
Watching other people's families reunited in harmony and happiness. But he was like a lonely ghost, not knowing where his hometown was!
So since his parents left, Zhu Tian would go to the Internet cafe alone every New Year and holiday. Although he is still alone, at least he will not feel lonely!
Zhu Tian moved his gaze to the square again.
People were shouting and making noise, and a young man played a guitar carved from wood, playing an unknown but melodious tune.
...
At the gate of the base, Zhou Weiguo was wearing a coat and negotiating with a strange man wearing a blue jumpsuit.
When he saw Zhu Tian approaching, his eyes lit up and he hurried forward to greet him.
"What's up?"
Zhou Weiguo quickly led the weird man in the blue jumpsuit in front of him.
This clothing should be the uniform in the shelter.
"This is the shelter..." After coughing, Zhou Weiguo prepared to explain.
"Hello, leader of the Ming Base, nice to meet you." The man cleared his throat and stretched out his right hand: "Shi Yidun, this is my name. I appreciate your contribution in rebuilding our home on this ruins.
For outstanding contributions, the East Asia Cooperation Government will commend your work."
Commendation? His brain was kicked by a donkey. Shi Yidun, a ton of shit is still enough!
"Who is he?" Zhu Tian ignored the guy named Shi Yidun and glanced at Zhou Weiguo.
"From what he said, he came from Shelter 007. Before the disaster, he seemed to be the director of the Investment Promotion Bureau." Zhou Weiguo sighed, grinned teasingly, and continued: "Every once in a while, a shelter will open, and then
There will be a group of people who are confused about the situation and will return to the surface. They are lucky, it is winter."
In winter, bandits and plunderers basically hibernate. If the door of the shelter is opened in spring, they will most likely be greeted by a group of heavily armed robbers or slave traders.
"Did you say anything to him?"
"No." Zhou Weiguo shook his head and said to Zhu Tian in a voice that could not be heard by the middle-aged man named Shi Yidun: "You haven't given instructions on the policy regarding the shelter, so I will report it to you immediately.
Already."
After listening to Zhou Weiguo's explanation, Zhu Tian nodded: "Yes, you did a good job in this matter."
Hearing the leader's praise, Zhou Weiguo chuckled.
"By the way, what was Tianyuan Base's policy on shelters in the past?" Zhu Tian asked casually.
"Generally, they don't know what to do...those who receive nutrition mixture subsidies are taken into the slums. Some quick-thinking people find jobs in mercenary groups or hunting groups, and they are still living well.
"
As he spoke, Zhou Weiguo's expression was also a little awkward, which reminded him of the days he spent in the shelter. He happened to be the one who was so unhappy that he took his wife to receive the subsidy, and he lost his freedom from then on.
Zhu Tian nodded, expressing his understanding, and then looked at the guy who had been ignored by him for a long time... No, it was Shi Yidun!
Zhu Tian's disregard made Shi Yidun's face flash with anger, but he thought that he still had someone to ask for. He could only wait patiently for the two common people to finish whispering to each other.
"My name is Zhu Tian. I am the leader of the Daming Base. I am also the marshal of the Tianyuan Base military government and the governor of the Donggou Town Colony."
Hearing Zhu Tian's words, Shi Yidun raised his eyebrows.
"With all due respect, there has been only one regime in this land from beginning to end, and that is the great and glorious East Asian Cooperation Government."
"But they have already shot into the sky." Zhou Weiguo interjected teasingly, but Shi Yidun ignored him and just looked at Zhu Tian.
"So?" Zhu Tian said lightly.
"This kind of private enclosure of land and self-proclaimed king is stupid and illegal." Shi Yidun said righteously.
Zhu Tian raised his eyebrows, but before he could say anything, Zhou Weiguo had already put his gun to the head of the bureaucratic fool.
"Apologise, or I'll put a hole in your head."
The incident happened so suddenly that Shi Yidun didn't even react.
His lips were trembling, and he didn't know whether he was angry or frightened, and he couldn't say a word.
"I want you to apologize, Lanpi."
The soldier wearing a knighthood sneered and hit him on the back knee with a rifle butt, knocking the man to the ground.
Insulting the leader in front of them is simply too impatient.
Zhu Tian did not stop his men's behavior, nor did he speak. He just looked at Shi Yidun's frightened eyes playfully.
At this moment, the sound of a loudspeaker came from not far in front of the base gate.
"Mob, stop your illegal behavior immediately, otherwise we will shoot."
Wearing blue uniforms, standard body armor with the words East Asia Cooperation printed on the chest, and carbon nano explosion-proof helmets on their heads. Holding standard electromagnetic rifles in their hands, about twenty people crouched behind the bunker, pointing their guns at the entrance of the base from a distance.
.
"Enemy attack!"
As an alarm sounded, all soldiers on duty returned to their combat posts.
The heavy machine guns on the high concrete wall all turned their guns, followed by two remote-controlled sentry guns.
The soldier wearing a mechanical exoskeleton held an electromagnetic rifle and leaned against the bunker to poke out the black hole of the muzzle. The powered armor stepped out of the bunker, facing the enemy with its frontal armor, and the triangular barrel of the gun whirred.
What's even more frightening is the hummingbird drones that gather like locusts, with hundreds of muzzles suspended in the air. Just looking at them makes people's scalp numb.
