When Jiang Chen finished moving all the things in these two warehouses, it was almost evening. *huotxt/
Fortunately, the volume of the storage space has been expanded to more than 20 cubic meters. If the jump bracelet's original small cubic meter capacity was used, he would not be able to move the thousands of tons of supplies even if he was exhausted.
"Oh my god, did you rob the granary?" Sun Jiao was completely stunned as she looked at the mountains of boxes piled up in the backyard.
Although there has always been no shortage of food in the base, this was the first time she had seen so much food.
"Does it still need to be robbed with such a small amount of food? Over here, such a pile would cost more than 700,000 US dollars." Looking at Sun Jiao's ignorant look, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile, and said with a slight smile. He said with a satisfied tone.
Many of these hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent on logistics. The Pannu Islands are surrounded by major agricultural and animal husbandry countries, and wholesale agricultural products from Australia and New Zealand are very cheap.
"But this is too much..." Looking at the pile of hills, Sun Jiao half-opened and closed her mouth and said stupidly.
Seeing the rare dull look on Sun Jiao's face, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile knowingly and reached out to pat her waist.
"Okay, don't stand there stupidly, let's get people to move things into the granary."
With her cheeks slightly red, Sun Jiao seemed to be aware of her gaffe, so she glared at him angrily, turned around and ran to the community center outside the villa to find Wang Qing.
Looking at Sun Jiao's running back with a smile, Jiang Chen turned to look at the dark sky in the distance.
It's already February, and by the time this month is over, the heavy snow will almost stop.
In the wasteland, spring is hunting season.
Whether it is the alien species that have just finished hibernation or the bandits who have been dormant for a whole season, they are all waiting hungrily for the snow to melt and for the two-legged or four-legged prey to emerge from under the ruins.
"A lot of things really happened this winter." Shaking his head, Jiang Chen tightened his coat and walked into the villa.
... ...
1,302 tons of supplies. It was not until noon the next day that the inventory was completed and sorted and stored in the warehouse.
Among them, 300 tons of grain are left in the base as reserves and for daily consumption. The remaining 1,002 tons were transported via sewers to the warehouse in Block 6, part of which was sold locally. The other part was transported to the neighboring cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou by a trading fleet established by the Zhao Group, and exchanged for Yajing and other hard-selling hard currencies.
The whole day, the base was immersed in the joy of harvest.
Although it is not known how the food was transported into the base, this does not prevent the survivors in the base from smiling with joy at the full granary. Although not everyone is eligible to eat in the cafeteria. But as long as you work hard, you will one day become a top citizen and enjoy unlimited rations.
Just in time for the New Year.
At Jiang Chen's impromptu idea, the survivors set up a row of snow-covering sheds in the square in front of the community center and held a "New Year's Eve dinner party."
Only tonight, regardless of status, anyone who is interested can apply for a stall, cook the food they like, and share the delicious food they made with others.
The food supply in the granary is unlimited. People from the base logistics department will be responsible for promptly supplying food and fuel to stalls that are out of stock.
The only iron rule that needs to be followed is to eliminate waste! You can take as much as you eat, and any behavior of discarding food will be severely punished by the base.
However, it turned out that Jiang Chen was obviously overly concerned about adding this rule.
How can those starving ghosts who have "never seen the world" be willing to waste? When eating one by one, I just wanted to burst my belly. I only wished that my parents had two less mouths.
Considering that there is no such thing as Jianweixiaoshi tablets in the base, after thinking for a moment, Jiang Chen had to make an additional clause - "You are not allowed to vomit within 24 hours, otherwise I will eat them all!"
This order somewhat calmed those starving ghosts. There is more sense when enjoying delicious food.
Of course, eating alone was not enough. The survivors set up a bonfire in the center of the square and started an impromptu talent show.
Singing a song may not necessarily be good, and dancing may not be beautiful. But the excitement is undoubtedly there.
People sat around in the center of the square with hot bowls, drinking hot soup and chewing on barbecued meats. They were so happy.
Although the radioactive dust in the sky is still suppressed, the pale snowflakes are still cold. But the fire particles rising above the bonfire dispelled the gloom that filled people's hearts.
Standing side by side with Sun Jiao on the roof of the community center, looking at the happy smiling faces in the square, Jiang Chen couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
"Are you happy?" Looking at Jiang Chen's profile, Sun Jiao smiled.
"certainly."
Half a year ago, this place was just an area of half-collapsed villas. Let alone being inaccessible, there are not even a few zombies to be seen.
However, who would have thought that in just half a year, this place would be transformed into such a prosperous place.
Looking at the smile on Jiang Chen's lips, Sun Jiao's cheeks turned red and a smile appeared on her lips.
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 he would grow into such an outstanding person 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 than to smoke wine and take drugs." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"That's right." Looking at the lively atmosphere in the square, a look of nostalgia appeared on Sun Jiao's face.
"What are you thinking about?"
"It's very far away."
Sun Jiao said in a nostalgic tone, "During the days in the shelter, although I couldn't feel the changes in seasonal temperatures, whenever this special day came, people would gather together to celebrate. I vaguely remember that whenever this day comes, , my father would tell us stories about the ground. 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 isolated island. While isolating radiation, it is also isolating 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 stayed in the eyes of these people was only the halo of light at the moment before the nuclear explosion, not the ruthlessness of the shock wave sweeping through the crowd.
"Do you think... your father lied to you?" Jiang Chen asked softly.
"I thought so before, but later I understood it more or less." Sun Jiao shook her head and stared at the bonfire not far away with a complicated expression, "Humans are such fragile creatures. If there is no hope, I can’t survive.”
