Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

In addition to the 20 buses Zhou Shuwan brought out, there were also 33 buses collected from other places, all heading to Jiyun Mountain.

It looks spectacular.

These buses have all been modified. Whether it is the generator, lines, tires or internal air conditioning, they are all specially designed to withstand high temperatures and use aviation materials, which are very precious.

So much for a city.

Mayor Lu has already passed the message to each base, and each underground base needs to accept about 80-100 people.

The underground base in Dongyuan Community is located in the old city area, and many communities do not have underground parking lots. There are only a few newly built elevator buildings. It needs to accommodate all the residents in the surrounding old city area, so the bearing pressure itself is very high. It is really difficult to accept 100 people.

When I went to the underground base again, I unexpectedly met Meng Mingyue.

Calculating the time, it has been almost a year since we last saw each other. He has obviously become thinner, haggard and pale.

This is because they have lived underground for a long time without going out to see the sun.

Most survivors are like this now, and Meng Mingyue’s condition is actually better than many people.

The ones who are different from everyone else are Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu.

Meng Mingyue's eyes widened when she saw the two of them. "How come you two haven't changed at all? And Wanwan, why do I feel like you're even younger than you were back then?"

She looked at the two of them with some envy.

Zhou Shuwan waved her hand. "I think you're under so much pressure that your eyes are in trouble. It's been so hot this year, and everyone is suffering! How can I be so unique and look younger?"

"But you look really good. Fair and rosy!"

Meng Mingyue pulled her up and looked her up and down, and suddenly understood. She glanced at Qi Mingyu beside her and said softly, "Oh, I see. This is because of the nourishment of love. At that time, I always felt that there was something wrong between you two, but you both swore that you were siblings and neighbors. How come after not seeing you for a year, you both changed your minds and are now inseparable..."

She saw the scene of the two of them walking hand in hand.

Xiao Xiao told her that they were together.

Meng Mingyue had no idea what was on Xiao Xiao's mind, so she immediately gossiped, "Wanwan is so slow. They should have been together a long time ago. But she's so leisurely and in no rush at all."

That's why he deliberately joked with Zhou Shuwan.

Zhou Shuwan's face flushed slightly, and he glared at her: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll do it to you."

Meng Mingyue giggled a few times before giving up.

Qi Mingyu had been watching the two people playfully with a smile on his face, and only now did he ask, "Why is Mingyue here?"

Meng Mingyue is different from Xiao Xiao. The latter is Mayor Lu's confidant who has been cultivated with great effort. He has an extraordinary status, so he can come and go freely and can also dispatch vehicles and people.

However, Meng Mingyue is only the captain of the security team of Tzu Chi Apartment and will not leave the base unless there is a mission.

Tzu Chi Apartment is not on the way here, so I have never come here on purpose.

Meng Mingyue sighed, "Don't mention it. The temperature is too high. The air conditioning in Tzu Chi Apartments can't handle the heat, and it's been repaired many times recently. It just so happens that the villagers of Jiyun Mountain are also moving down, so the higher-ups decided to disband Tzu Chi Apartments, and everyone inside has been dispersed to various bases. I'm now idle, waiting for assignments from above."

Xiao Xiao continued: "I have already applied, and Jiang Mingyue will come to our place."

"Congratulations, we can meet often from now on." Zhou Shuwan said and asked a few more questions about Tzu Chi Apartment.

Meng Mingyue shook her head. "The survivors in our area are children without parents, elderly people without support, and some single women. It's okay in the apartments. There's strict supervision and discipline, and allocations are based on need. But once you move to other bases, it's hard to say."

She was also a girl in her twenties, a soldier, and had a strong sense of empathy. She sighed softly, "Especially those children without parents. They rely on relief food to survive. They are so skinny from hunger that they look like big-headed dolls. It's really pitiful."

"The most important thing is that these people are clearly a burden, and those bases are unwilling to accept them. So they have to be dispersed, with each base accepting around a hundred people."

"Besides, under the current circumstances, every base is under great pressure. It is impossible to free up half of the space to accommodate the women, children and weak in the entire apartment. After much discussion, this is the result." Xiao Xiao said.

The atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment.

What Xiao Xiao did not say was that due to the disbanding of the Tzu Chi Apartments, the responsibility of voluntary assistance to the weak was shared among other bases, which led to some superiors in the service hall making direct suggestions at the meeting that after these people entered the ordinary bases, they would receive supplies every three days like everyone else and would no longer receive any special treatment.

The only thing he didn't do was to directly state that these weak women and children were not worth rescuing at all, and that rescuing them would be a waste of food, so it would be better to let them fend for themselves.

Mayor Lu was so angry that he almost slammed the table and cursed, and only then did he suppress the anger of those people.

This is the case for those in power, not to mention the survivors at the bottom.

Everyone knows that Tzu Chi Apartments only accept women, children and young children, and the relief food they distribute is better than that of ordinary people. In addition to the necessary survival supplies, women will receive sanitary products, and children and the elderly will receive milk powder, calcium and other nutritional products.

I am young and strong, but I am struggling to make ends meet here. Those who can't make any contribution are grabbing the limited resources for nothing. It's naturally unbalanced!

Meng Mingyue finally said, "Although I know they are in trouble, one person's power is limited. I am really powerless and can only turn a blind eye..."

Xiao Xiao comforted him, "We can't do much. We can only do the best we can. For example, when the higher-ups asked me what I thought, I naturally said I would accept more women, children, and children. In addition to the three-day quota, I will try to give some extra subsidies. This is all I can do."

"No wonder you were able to climb to the position of leader of the base at such a young age. You have a very high level of ideological awareness! I have to learn from you." Meng Mingyue joked.

They both came from the same military unit and had a good relationship. Although one of them was in a high position now, there was no barrier between them.

Zhou Shuwan thought of a popular saying on the internet: I feel pity, but I also stand by and watch. I empathize, but I can do nothing...

She heaved a long sigh, thinking of herself and her senior who had been displaced in their previous lives.

I don’t know how she is doing now after reuniting with her family!

On the way back after receiving the supplies, Qi Mingyu noticed that she was in a bad mood. Thinking that she was worried about those people, he took her hand and whispered, "Wanwan, there's not much we can do. If you are really worried about those elderly people and children, we can donate some supplies when we get to the base."

There isn't much I can do, but at least I can donate something and feel better.

Zhou Shuwan shook her head. "I was thinking of my senior sister, the one I met in college. We're from the same hometown. She was a chivalrous and kind person. Before... before, I didn't know anything, and she taught me a lot... I don't know how she's doing now."
