"In fact, no matter whether plants or animals are growing so fast now, food can definitely be found outside." Li Qingshui looked outside and said: "It's just that the food has no expiration date. Even if you find a lot of food, there is no special environment. It’s not going to help if you’re storing it. So, if you’re looking for food, you need to go out every day.”

"It's too dangerous." Liu Chang nodded, "Even if we have the little girl's help, it's impossible to avoid every danger!"

"There is no way around this. Maybe vacuum packaging can keep food longer, but it can't stop the growth of anaerobic microorganisms. Moreover, we don't have the conditions for vacuum packaging!" Li Qingshui rubbed his head.

"Maybe chemical agents to inhibit microorganisms can come in handy?" Zhu Lin, who had been silent for a long time, spoke for the first time, but what she said shocked all the men, "What about the formalin that soaked the corpses?" Yes, doesn't it have a strong effect of inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and preventing decay and mildew?"

"Eating formaldehyde?" The fat man exclaimed, "Are you crazy? That will poison people to death!"

"Actually diluted to a certain extent, it is still edible." Li Qingshui surprisingly did not object after hearing Zhu Lin's words: "Although it is not good for your health, you can still try the diluted formalin, that is, formaldehyde. .At least it can keep food for a few days without going bad, which is better than any preservatives.”

"Let's talk about it." Liu Chang listened to what they said, and said, "There is no food yet, so I'm thinking about how to store it. Let's take it one step at a time and see how the army will arrange it for us."

After Liu Chang said this, several people fell into a brief silence, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and then stood quietly and waited.

It took about three hours for the military to notify all the incoming citizens—in this world where there are no radios or even electricity has been cut off, it is also a very strenuous task to notify hundreds of thousands of people with news.

After everyone was notified and integrated, the influx of residents were divided into two teams and brought into the military compound.

There is no doubt that the two teams are the two teams that chose different destinations—one is willing to stay in the local area, and the other is willing to go to Zhengzhou with the team.

In this way, Liu Chang and his party followed the team that Ken stayed in the local area into the depths of the military compound.

The compound of the military region is very large. Although the troops are stationed separately in units of regiments, it is still possible for an army group with a total of tens of thousands of people to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Everyone follows in the footsteps of those in front of them. Walk around honestly, afraid of falling behind.

The soldiers on both sides of the team are all fully armed, and it may be because of the army that the mutated creatures here have been cleaned up immediately, making it look safe.

After a group of people were brought here, they waited for another long period of time. This time, they waited until dark before all the outsiders were settled.

Liu Chang and the others were arranged in a soldier's barracks, with bunk beds, similar to student dormitories, but simpler and cleaner than student dormitories.

This time the military made no distinction between men and women, it was based on families and organizations, so Zhu Lin, the little girl and three boys were arranged together. After all, in this environment, everyone wants to be with their relatives and friends. As for the difference between men and women—in front of life and survival, it seems a little insignificant.

In fact, the military dormitory is similar to the student dormitory in essence. This is an eight-person dormitory. In the army, it is roughly the size of a class. A total of twelve people were accommodated in this eight-person dormitory. In addition to Liu Chang and his party of five, there was also a family of three and a family of four.

The family of three consisted of a twenty-eight or nine-year-old woman with two nearly sixty-year-old parents. This combination seemed particularly weak and bullying.

Another family of four looks much stronger, two brothers in their twenties who look fierce, and their parents who seem to be only about fifty years old and still in their prime. This family looks very ferocious. The two brothers are all wearing vests and shirtless, with fierce and thick flesh.

They snatched up the beds in the four best positions as soon as they came, and they were unreasonable, which made Liu Chang a little bit uncomfortable.

"Hey, buddy, there are twelve of us in total, and there are only eight beds. According to the principle, there are only two beds for every three people. Even if there are four of you, it is calculated as three of you. It's all covered, no matter what, you should give up another bed!" Liu Chang said, and took a step forward, "We only have eight beds, and we will share them, and no one can take advantage of them!"

"Ouch, buddy, you're so arrogant!" The two brothers who were making the bed heard Liu Chang's words, put down the things in their hands, and turned their heads to look here.

When Li Qingshui and Fatty saw the conflict, they also stood up.

There are three young and middle-aged men on this side, and there are also three fathers of the brothers on the other side, and neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp. Needless to say, that family is just Liu Chang. Since he killed someone, his hands are stained with blood. The eyes and demeanor of different people are also different.

And Fatty was the most rogue one when he was in the dormitory, and since his mother died, he has added a bit of decisiveness to him.

As for Li Qingshui, although he looks weak, he has a capable temperament and has never been afraid of anyone.

Therefore, the two sides seem to be evenly matched, and this is a confrontation that is destined not to cause conflict—everyone is just fighting for their own interests, and more importantly, no one wants to be injured in this battle.

So, after the two sides confronted each other for a while, the brothers' mother, a sophisticated woman, came over and greeted each other with smiles.

"Well, let me tell you, everyone came here to escape, and it's fate to be assigned to a place. Why do you get so angry when you meet, little brother, let me see..." The old woman glanced at the other house as she spoke. The man glanced at him and said, "Look, the four of us here will take a step back and give up one bed, and the five on your side will also give you four, and the remaining one will be given to the last family. Fair."

After saying this, the old woman smiled and looked to the other side: "Are you right?"

No one in the family spoke.

"Look, they have no objection, Xiaogang, Xiaoyong, Lao Li, let's pull it down, let's forget about it." As she spoke, the old woman pulled her man and two sons back.

This confrontation ended with such a result-the two sides showed force and reached negotiations. This is not a conflict, so there is no winner. In other words, both sides of the confrontation are victors, and the sacrifices are naturally the interests of the weak and weak groups in the distance.

Wherever there are people, the law of the jungle will always be obeyed everywhere.
