The blizzard is coming: Start zero-dollar shopping in the apocalypse

Chapter 166: Interpersonal Relationships in the End of the World
The two said goodbye, and then there were two doors closing outside, and the corridor became quiet.

Soon another voice came out on the radio: "Attention residents of the base, in order to prevent water sources from being polluted, every household must store as much water as possible. In the next three days, power and water supply will be available all day long. Everyone must tell each other, Store more water.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng stopped collecting water since the acid rain started. They will continue to save water when they have the opportunity in the future. Anyway, there is enough in the space for many years. They are just in case, so there is no need to take risks.

There are ten families living on this floor, so there is movement in the corridor from time to time. To be honest, these last days can really test human nature. Some families become more united when times are more difficult, while some families become more selfish and mutualistic when times are more difficult. Complain.

In the evening, there was another quarrel outside, right at the door of Gu Pan's house, which felt quite close.

The two of them didn't go out, so they just listened at the door. If it didn't concern their own family, they didn't need to worry about it. If it involved their own family, it wasn't too late to go out.

What could be heard was a man and a woman arguing outside.

Female voice: "I told you that you must stock up on supplies, even at the base. Have you never been hungry before?"

Male voice: "The broadcast has said that the base can't ignore us. Besides, it's not completely impossible to get out. Don't make a fuss about it."

The woman raised her voice: "Making a fuss out of a molehill? Is this making a fuss out of a molehill? When the apocalypse first came, did the army not launch helicopters to reassure us? What was the result? Why didn't you learn a lesson?"

"Qin Lin, do you feel itchy if you don't educate me for a day? You are really mentally ill." Zhang Mowen's voice was sarcastic.

"Zhang Mowen, why did I marry you? Before the apocalypse, I relied on my natal family, and after the apocalypse, I will still rely on my natal family to enter the base. What can you do?" The woman's voice was full of anger and complaint.

The man's voice also sounded impatient: "Your mother's family, your mother's family, everything is your mother's family, and I'm not a married woman. Why do I have to live in the shadow of your mother's family all day long? I'm so tired of your family's condescending attitude. Look, why, others are not as good as them, they have wings? Can they fly?"

"Zhang Mowen, do you have a conscience? If it weren't for my brother after the end of the world, we would have starved to death. If it weren't for my brother, would we be able to get to the base? Can we have a job?"

"Hmph, that sounds nice, but why did my son die? My son was sick, why didn't they find medicine? Don't they treat me as a family member?"

Snapped!
A loud slap.

Then the woman screamed: "Zhang Mowen, you heartless thing, do you have to blame my brother for your death? Why don't you go to the doctor to find medicine for your own son? If you don't save your son, you will Counting on others? Don’t they have a home? Don’t they have a wife, children, and children? Why should others always care about you? Are you a man? "

The man shouted: "Madman, go find your mother's family." Then there was a loud slamming of the door.

Then there was the sound of a woman knocking on the door: "Zhang Mowen, please open the door for me. I also paid the rent for this house. Please open the door for me."

Gu Pan looked through the peephole and saw a door diagonally opposite. The woman was about 30 years old. Her slender body was trembling and she was knocking on the door.

Lu Ruisheng frowned and said, "He really embarrasses us men."

Gu Pan never expected that there would be such a shameless man. She said: "Such weirdos don't distinguish between men and women, just classify them as trash."

“It’s been so long since the end of the world, why are there still people like this?”

"Three years later, there will still be people. Human nature is like this. In times of crisis, we may stick together again, but once we calm down, we can't help but quarrel." "Indeed, we don't comment much on other people's affairs. Anyway, we can't go out. I won’t go out.”

"Well, it's better not to go out when it's none of our business."

The knocking on the door by the woman outside lasted for half an hour before it stopped. After a quick look, the woman did not leave, but was sitting at the door. The door was still closed. This man was cruel enough.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng also wanted to change their moods. Listening to too many arguments would put them in a bad mood.

They entered the living room and sat on the sofa watching TV. Although they were a little distracted, they didn't want to think about the mess after all.

After a while, the broadcast rang again: "Residents of Base No. [-], the base has resumed power rationing. Water and power supply will still be available for two hours every night. It will be adjusted according to the situation in the future. Everyone should be prepared."

The repeated sounds brought the topic of conversation back to this topic in every household.

Of course, at this time, many people are also starting to calculate how long the supplies at home will last.

Most people in the apocalypse still retain the habit of saving supplies, but some people feel a little comfortable after arriving at the base, and gradually stop saving.

Many of those who don't store supplies are rich people because they think there are stores in the base and they can exchange whatever they want, so they are even more anxious at this time.

The situation over the bungalow is a little more serious, because we are worried that the roof will collapse due to acid rain corrosion, but we cannot go to the house to reinforce it at this time.

Some people have reinforced the wood and tarpaulin inside their homes. Of course, there are also those who think so but don’t have the materials.

Those who lived on the top floor of the building were also scared at this time. They began to inquire about which room was empty downstairs. If that didn't work, they had to break the door and move downstairs first.

Of course, if you really can't do it, you have to sleep in the corridor. Anyway, at least it's better than outside the base.

People in the villa area are relatively more at ease. The top floor is not safe just downstairs, and some people who are short of supplies are panicking. Not everyone here has a phone at home, so it is impossible to call for help in time.

Because interpersonal relationships are not that complicated, basically just communication at work and with neighbors, the usage rate of telephones is very low, so the coverage rate of telephones is not high.

At this time, all the staff were involved in reinforcing the vegetable greenhouse. The greenhouse was made of glass, and any metal in the corners would corrode, so they had to make preparations in advance and cover all the places where metal leaked out to avoid damage. Greenhouses are under threat.

There are many vegetables growing in the greenhouse. When there is no sun, the use of anti-sunlight lamps does not delay the growth. These are one of the most precious things in the base.

The research institute is working overtime. In fact, before the end of the world, some teams have developed pills that can replenish all the energy needed by the human body. However, at that time, it was just a scientific experiment and could not be used on normal people. After all, food and appetite are also important. It is a great joy for people, but taking medicine to satisfy their hunger is not in line with normal social development.

But things are different now. In order to leave more humans, more fire, and more inheritance, these pills are very crucial.

Of course, there is one project that cannot be stopped in the base, which is to dig an underground base. Because there is no certainty of disaster in the future, this underground city may be the last barrier to protect mankind. There is no time before, but the base is stable. , it started over there.
