Busy Farming In the Last Days
Chapter 68:
The coming of winter makes life difficult for many people.
Withered vegetation and cold weather, people need more food to maintain physical strength and body temperature, but the source of food is becoming less and less.
All kinds of competition outside the base have become fiercer, and of course there will be people coveting the base. However, within the scope of the current S city, there is no force that can shake the S base.
After all, there is the original army stationed, and the weapons are incomparable to the bulk militia. What's more, the current S base has basically formed a self-supply chain.
However, after the incident involving the teenagers, the army was indeed awakened. There are still a lot of refugees in S City. If they are all left outside, they will still pose a threat to the base. It would be better to organize some of them in an organized way.
Around the time the chicken coop was completed and the second batch of chicks hatched, the army issued a new decree: to expand the share of population recruitment and at the same time to expand the scope of the base.
New planning drawings are being made, but Ji Cha knows that after the expansion, the place where they are currently located will become the inner city of the future S base, and it is also the most prosperous and safest place.
So for this decision, he enjoys it.
Although the army does not encourage residents to leave the base, it does not allow it. After all, in the current environment, there are always people willing to try their luck outside. There are also many people who cannot fully meet all their needs in the base.
For example, many vendors active on the black market, many of them are willing to form a team to leave the base to take risks. Although this is a risk of life, the benefits are often objective.
Regarding this, the base has strict controls on the surface, but as long as adults want to leave the base, they will be allowed to leave after registering their departure time and identity information.
Ji Cha has never been to the black market, although occasionally he thinks of going to see it, but he has never spared time.
When the time quickly turned into January, the weather got colder and colder. Almost to the point of going out is a kind of torture. The dampness and coldness of the southern cities was more vividly manifested in the first winter after the end of the world.
In order to prevent deaths due to the cold, the army has set up some public coal heating points, and a chimney will warm many places. But this is the ultimate that can be done under the current situation of tight resources.
Ji Cha now does not need to go to the recruitment site to issue recruitment information every day, and can release the information through a computer connected to the Internet. However, sometimes you still have to go to the recruitment site to select the final candidate.
This is also the case on this day. After finishing the recruitment, Ji Cha rode a small electric donkey to drive home. When passing by the black market, he unexpectedly found that it was very lively. This made him a little curious. He thought about it and wanted to stop the car and walked over to see what the black market was like for the first time.
The black market is set up in an alley with seven bends and turns of old rural houses. There are stalls at a distance, and each stall is watched by more than one person, in order to prevent looting and other uncontrollable situations.
There are various things sold in the black market, such as military supermarkets, but limited-edition items can basically be bought here in unlimited quantities but at double the price. There are also some resources that the army does not sell, such as small electrical appliances, small toys, precious and even medicines.
Ji Cha went around and found the potatoes and greens that he had flowed out of the house. It could be kept for a longer time because of the winter. It should be because some workers bought it on the black market in exchange for more food.
After reading about it, Ji Cha planned to leave, but at this moment, he heard a small cry in a remote corner.
He turned his head and saw that a thin girl about twelve or thirteen years old was being pulled aside by a tall man.
There are basically no women in the black market, let alone such a little girl. Ji Cha instinctively felt something was wrong, he took two steps forward, did not act rashly, first carefully observed the situation there.
Women's status is often easy to decline in troubled times, which is more vividly reflected in the end times. Compared to the outside base, it is better, because there are restrictions, and people who can fill their stomachs are not willing to take the women at home out to exchange anything. Moreover, the women in the base can also find a job to support themselves without falling to that point.
"Follow me, don't have to go hungry in the future." The middle-aged man held the little girl, the look on his face was not at all the kindness of the elders to the younger ones.
On the contrary... Ji Cha felt that it was a man's desire for a woman.
This makes him feel a little sick.
The stall owner said viciously to the little girl, "If you are not obedient, there is no registration of your identity in the base, and no one knows if you turn your head around and slaughter you."
Given such a fright, the little girl really didn't dare to speak immediately.
Ji Cha can't watch it anymore. He stepped forward to stop the middle-aged man who was about to pull the little girl away, and said to the stall owner, "Population trading is against the management of the base. You can't do that."
Someone immediately gathered around, looking at Ji Cha menacingly, "Who are you?"
These people are obviously a group that protects each other. Ji Cha doesn't know how many such activities they have done. The army does not know much about many behaviors in the black market, and I am afraid that it is just a market that sells various small products. Or what Ji Cha didn't dare to think deeply is: The army may know that such a thing exists, but it has not put more control over it.
"I'm the person in charge of the processing plant." Ji Cha frowned. No one in this identity base does not know, but it may not be possible to match people with identities.
The status of the processing plant in the base is not low, and the farm is also implicated in this, most people know that there is a fat difference.
Sure enough, as soon as Ji Cha's words fell, the person who was originally eager to try immediately took a little arrogance, but said to Ji Cha not very happy, "We are doing business here. If it has anything to do with you, don't stop us if you know it. "
Ji Cha still wanted to come forward to speak, and suddenly the crowd stretched out his hands to hold him. He looked back and saw that it was a man who had worked for him for a few days. At this time, he pulled him over and said in a low voice, "Xiao Ji, don't be aggressive, these people have done murder and arson."
With such great effort, the little girl had been dragged away forcibly, and she didn't cry at this time.
Ji Cha was a little worried. Even after ten years of the last days, he still couldn't bear this kind of thing happening directly in front of his eyes. What's more, he now feels that he should be able to change some behaviors that he couldn't change before.
"These girls were all abducted from the outside, hidden in the car and brought back. The army doesn't seem to know it well, even if it is clear, they know it is wrong. After all, the identity certificate is not checked every day.
These people will not be registered after they are bought back, because after registration, they can find a job to support themselves and cannot control them. "
The man told Ji Cha some information he knew.
