I plant a field in the last days
Chapter 119 Refugees Travel
Half a month later, there was another group of people in the No. 3 area where many people had died. They were ready to move out of the No. 3. After all, there was no more free food to eat. If you want to survive, you can only rely on catching mice. To make ends meet, many people have to move out of their residences.
Although the current high temperature weather is still around forty degrees, everyone has obviously adapted to this high temperature weather after a long life.
On this day, the rat collectors in the supermarket asked everyone to queue up to receive their water. Lu Yuan came a little late, and saw that the long line that could have been lined up from the main road to the innermost had obviously shrunk.
Many people have no choice but to leave because they have not caught the mice. Although the water problem has been alleviated, many desalinators have been built in coastal cities to prevent water shortages. The hydraulic power runs from east to west. The transportation pipeline was also built in the first two months, and the water in various regions has also been greatly relieved, but it can only be said to be relieved. After all, there will be great losses in the long-distance transportation water, and the desalinizer desalinates seawater every day. The amount is fixed, but to satisfy hundreds of millions of people is obviously a little stretched.
Lu Yuan lined up with the crowd to receive the water from the family that day, watching the group of people dragging the family and carrying the boxes to move away, and suddenly felt a little bit sad. He didn't feel sorry for these people, but watched. People are forced to migrate for their daily lives, but they don’t know that many people will die along the way, because they not only have to face water shortages and food shortages along the way, but they also face not knowing where to jump. Robbers and hungry people coming out.
These people may die on the road, or they may join the robber's team. This is their destiny. Once they leave the place where they depend for survival, the risk of going out to survive will increase exponentially.
After receiving the water, Lu Yuan was about to go home, but saw that Aunt Liu, who likes to gossip behind her back, dragged the box and followed his son and daughter-in-law to move away. He met each other and said hello. Although Lu Yuan didn’t like Liu very much. The aunt's family, but it was considered as a neighbor's game, so they gave all the water in their hands, which was the last thing I did for them.
Being bored at home, Lu Yuan took out his mobile phone and opened the group chat.
I saw Chen Ke sent such a message in the group.
"@Everyone, I just counted the people in our No. 3 area. Now there are 135 people left in the No. 3 area. Among them, there are 22 children under ten years old, and they are over ten years old. There are forty-three people under the age of eighteen, forty-five people over eighteen and under fifty, and twenty-five people over fifty."
Then Song Heng replied in the group: "Oh! It should be one hundred and thirty people. Just now, the last five members of my neighbor’s family have all moved out. Among them is an eight-year-old child and two. Adults and two old people, now there is no one to accompany me, I feel a little lonely and cold!"
Liu Tiantian: "Hehe! Who told you not to share some food with others? Now there is no one to accompany you! By the way, why don't your family come back?"
Song Heng: "Hi! Don't mention it. Some time ago, my dad planned to let me go to his place. I didn't expect his place to be more serious than mine. Now all traffic is out of service. How can I get back! It's thousands of kilometers, is it possible to walk back all the way!"
Sun Zhe: "Have you heard that there are already a large number of refugees in Qingshui City. I don't know if it will affect us here!"
Wei Tian: "Haha! People in the remote villages and cities don't look down on us! Don't worry! They are all going to the east!"
Wang Chuanchuan: "By the way, doesn't it mean that the high temperature has caused the sea level to rise? Why do you still go to the beach? Isn't it just looking for death?"
...
Looking at the news in the group chat, Lu Yuan felt a little boring. He was talking about meddling. It was just groundless and worrying. It didn't help much, but it was helpful to get some information.
However, there are definitely some refugees. At that time, I don’t know how big the scale is. My own house is built like a prison. The high-walled gate will obviously attract their attention. Lu Yuan knows that the trap can’t be kept away. He must be as fast as possible. Preparation.
So Lu Yuan expressed his thoughts during dinner.
"Doing a trap? Everyone is watching in broad daylight. How to do a trap?" Dad Lu first raised his own question.
Well, since there are problems that have been raised, they must find ways to solve them. Lu Yuan has already made countermeasures based on these ideas.
"Of course it's inside the wall! If they want to enter our house, they have to climb over the wall. Not to mention that the three-meter-high wall is extremely difficult to climb. Even if they climb up, they have to fix the barbed wire on it! I have to come down, so I plan to dig a circle along the wall and prepare some props in it!"
Grandpa was very optimistic about Lu Yuan, and immediately gave a thumbs up to express his approval.
At this time, Lu Ma asked with some worry: "Will you just kill people? This is too...too inhumane!"
Xiaoshan's mother on the side has a considerable say on this issue. If it hadn't been for Lu Yuan to pick them up last time, it is estimated that their family would not be back last time.
"Mother-in-law, do you plan to give them something to eat? They are not fed enough. If one person knows the situation at home, there will be more refugees who want to beat us. Note, we have to be tougher!"
Xiaoshan's dad also nodded again and again and said: "Yes, special treatment during special times! Although we have a lot of food at this point, but how many refugees there are, these things are not enough for them to divide them all at once!"
So Lu Ma could only nod her head in agreement.
The next step is to discuss how to dig the pit. After everyone’s discussion, the digging is handled by three powerful people, and the others are responsible for assisting. Lu Yuan was once again elected as the director general, and grandpa He became the commander-in-chief.
As a result, in the following time, the two families invested in intense digging operations.
Sometimes Xiaoshan would ask to go to work, but Dad Lu sternly told him to go back.
"You are the wife of our old Lu family, how can you do this kind of work! Go back, there is Lu Yuan here! Let him do it! Lu Yuan, it's all yours over there!"
Lu Yuan protested against this, but the protest was invalid. Who made him so powerful that he could work one by one.
The day went on as usual. Lu Yuan had nothing else to do except arranging people to be on guard every day. He occasionally went home to help deal with the trap, and he had a very fulfilling life every day.
As for the previous contact with Boss Kong, what Lu Yuan didn’t expect was that the people in the No. 3 area where the other party raised prices several times had already sold all the things that could be sold. The last time they changed dozens of kilograms of vegetables back. , And even encountered an attack by refugees halfway down the road, killing two people.
Since then, no one in District 3 has mentioned the things in the past city, and Lu Yuan is fine and can talk to Boss Kong. The other party also said that his business is getting worse and worse. After doing so, the medicines for making nutrient solutions are basically unavailable, which led to the price increase.
Lu Yuan was also very helpless about this, but there was no way. After all, the current production capacity has not fallen by a small amount. Many raw material suppliers have been cut off, which has caused some downstream industries to close down when they are unavailable. .
...
As the end of the year is approaching, the country has searched for food alternatives several times and has failed to achieve mass production plans. In the end, the burden can only be borne by the people themselves, but the government has given some ways to alleviate hunger.
For example, sitting or sleeping at home can effectively reduce people's metabolic activity, so that they can persist for a period of time.
Another example is to vigorously advocate yoga activities, mobilize people to learn bigu knowledge in yoga at home, and even yoga masters teach online to demonstrate the essentials and movements of bigu.
But this can only be a relief, but whoever can do it is a mortal body. If the real bigu succeeds, it will be the beginning of the cultivation of immortality by the whole people.
Sure enough, after more than a month, more and more refugees gathered in a piece of land and started migrating to the east. It is said that the sea has not been greatly affected. When it comes to the beach, there are endless fish that cannot be eaten, even if it is not economical. Picking up kelp and seaweed at the beach to satisfy their hunger, guarding the bare plains in the interior, where the bare mountains can't eat anything, and they can only wait to die.
In ancient times, there was a story of going through the east and going to the west, so all parts of the country began to stage an epic masterpiece of population migration: to the East China Sea!
In order to take care of each other, the refugees organized themselves one after another and embarked on the journey so far.
The collective dispatch of these refugees is like locusts, where they can eat wherever they go. Rats and some insects along the way can eat up all the bark and other things.
The bosses who bought leather goods that were not selling well were worrying about where to sell their leather shoes and belts, but the emergence of refugees seemed to open up a new market for them.
In the streets and alleys, you can occasionally see someone holding up a cauldron to pour pieces of chopped up leather shoes, belts and bags into boiling water for sale.
After seeing this scene, passing by refugees, they rushed forward to buy, and sometimes even scrambled and shed blood because they could not buy it, which is simply shocking.
...
The people in Area 3 left a few more houses, but the impact on everyone was not great. Should they be hungry or hungry, and those who were not hungry would barely survive, but fortunately Lu Yuan gave them some plants. The nutrient solution and the use of soilless cultivation techniques to grow vegetables can barely fill the stomach, and the members of the security team are not only responsible for various safety issues in the third area, but also go out to guard.
The only main road in the No. 3 area is not the main road. It takes a turn from the city to get here, so it has always been plain and not attacked by any refugees.
Lu Yuan thinks this may be because everyone has forgotten about their place. After all, the number of people in the new city is not very large. In addition, the new city is a barren land in the eyes of the people of Qingshui City. It was a farmland a few years ago with high temperature. After it happened, the fields here became wasteland. The place is small and there are not many people. It is of no use value to these refugees. It is better to go to other places to find a way to survive.
On this day, Chen Ke took a few members of the security team out to patrol. This is the result of everyone’s discussion. Except for the No. 3 area, he has to go to the main road junction every day to check whether there is "enemy situation". Some time ago, a group of thousands of refugees passed by here, but fortunately, they did not choose to enter the new city at the fork of the road. This also made Lu Yuan a little worried.
Chen Ke was idle and bored looking for mouse holes everywhere, trying to find some prey while patrolling. Everyone walked very slowly along the way, and they actually found them on both sides of the road.
At this time, Song Heng quietly took out a half pack of cigarettes from his pocket and coughed at the crowd: "Ahem! Is anyone addicted to cigarettes? Here I..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone rushed over, staring at the cigarette in Song Heng's hand as if they had discovered a new prey.
There was a hint of surprise on Chen Ke's face and said, "Yes, brother, where did you get it?"
Song Heng smiled mysteriously: "I got it from Director Lu the other day! Hehe!"
"Good fellow, there is still half a pack left! Say, is it because Lu Yuan gave everyone this cigarette? You have been corrupted by yourself!"
"Hey! You kid don't want to smoke anymore! I helped Lu Yuan pick this up! Don't talk nonsense!"
Everyone had no idea about the matter of picking up soil, but was particularly interested in the cigarettes in his hand.
Then there was a looting. The cigarettes were distributed in the blink of an eye, and everyone sat on the side of the road with cigarettes in their mouths, smoking and chatting, not to mention more comfortable.
A few people sat on the side of the road and quickly finished smoking their cigarettes. It seemed that there was still a feeling of unfulfilled feelings, but looking at the empty cigarette case, I could only sigh if I could take another bite.
But this kind of illusion can only be thought about. If I think too much, I really have an addiction and can only force myself to quit. It's okay to take a sip occasionally.
The ash on Pai's ass continued to walk towards the fork in the road. What everyone didn't notice was that a group of sneaky people appeared at the end of the road behind them, moving in the direction of the No. 3 area.
There are about dozens of people in this group, and each of them carries something in their hands, such as kitchen knives, bamboo sticks and the like. These people have a trace of desire on their faces, and then another group of people A road came out to join them, obviously there was something to do.
