The world of shelter under the glacier - Chapter 110 Just survive!

Because it is afternoon shift time.

There weren’t many people in the car.

The carriage where Chu Feng was sitting only had a few people sitting there.

They were all old people over fifty years old chatting.

“Sister Li, why are you free to come out with us today?”

“Hey, I’m laid off too, but I’m only 56 this year, so the street won’t let me work. Why don’t I come out with you for a walk?”

Grandma Li complained, but her face was so full of laughter that she couldn’t get rid of it.

laid off.

Although it means losing the iron rice bowl, of course the monthly fixed salary is also gone.

But she is not worried about her future life.

Not to mention being taken care of by the younger members of the family, she also receives a senior citizen allowance, which is enough for her to feed and clothe herself.

Moreover.

He has arms and legs and can still move.

The income is no less than that of young people.

I’m just a little sad about losing my job.

In this case, I will not be able to shine for the shelter.

That’s right.

In Grandma Li’s simple heart, only public officials can contribute to the asylum.

“It’s good to be laid off. As the propaganda officer said, it will make room for the young people from the Dragon Kingdom in other brothers’ shelters. Compared to us, their lives are difficult.”

“More than that, it’s simply dire straits.”

Grandma Liu on the side interrupted.

He smacked his lips, his face full of bitterness.

“I used to live in a shelter in Xiaodong Town, and the environment there… was miserable.”

Suddenly, Grandma Liu’s eyes turned red.

“You have absolutely no idea what kind of life I lived before.”

Grandma Liu seemed to be trapped in nightmare memories.

“The apocalypse just came. Our family brought some food and went out to collect scrap metal and other materials. Although we lived in a simple way and ate cockroach cream, we still spent three months peacefully.”

“After that, nothing useful was found in the ruins. It was pitch black and the snow was falling so heavily that no one could get out.”

“With the meager wages of my two sons and the food distributed by the shelter, I can barely manage to eat two or three meals a day, even though I eat all cockroach cream.”

“The whole family is just next to each other…”

Speaking of this, the old man barely managed a smile on his face.

But it immediately dissipated without a trace.

What replaced it was deep fear.

“But in this damned apocalypse, no one will be able to survive.”

“More than half a year after the apocalypse, the small shelters of other villagers could no longer support their shelters, so they all ran into our town, doubling the total population. If it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t fit in any more, there would still be people squeezing in here.”

“In my house alone, there was only one room left out of the two rooms. The eldest brother and the second family were all crowded together, and the corridor in front of the house was full of people sleeping.”

“If that’s all it is, forget it. I can live with it for a while.”

“Can······”

Sighed.

Continued:

“Not long after, my youngest son lost his job, followed by his two daughters-in-law…”

“The nine members of the family only rely on the relief fund, and each person takes a pill of cockroach cream every day. This is something that adults can endure with gritted teeth, but it is not enough for three little children. I call grandma every day and I am hungry, which breaks my heart. ah······”

“If my eldest son hadn’t still had a job, I don’t know what would have happened at that time…”

“But his little salary is not enough! There are only three tubes of cream a day, which is only enough to fill the hungry bellies of three children.”

Speaking of this, the old man’s face became a little distorted.

“If this is the case, we can grit our teeth and tighten our belts…we can still persevere…”

“But God doesn’t fulfill people’s wishes.”

“It’s been nearly a year.”

“The heavy snow of more than 10 meters completely blocked the road, and the county stopped supplying coal. In fact, they themselves did not have enough, and they were helpless… The entire shelter completely ran out of power… “

“After that, bad things happened one after another.”

“The coal is out, the electricity is out, and the boiler is cold.”

“The temperature in the entire shelter suddenly dropped by half, from minus 40 degrees Celsius to minus 80 or 90 degrees Celsius. Even with all my clothes wrapped around me, it was still cold, bone-chilling!”

“I was forced to do nothing, so the whole family wrapped themselves in a quilt and hugged each other to feel a little warm.”

“Just like this, gritting our teeth, we can still endure it.”

After swallowing hard, Grandma Liu continued:

“But the temperature is so low, people can still hide under the quilt, but the cockroaches and earthworms in the breeding farm will die instantly wherever they hide.”

“After that, the factory in the shelter…no, it can only be called a workshop. It just processed some cockroaches, earthworms and the like. These machines stopped working immediately, and the eldest son also lost his job…”

He said mocking himself.

“Whether you lose your job or not, it actually makes the same difference.”

“The shelter can no longer pay wages, and the 50,000 people are completely dependent on the county’s support.”

“Hey, life is so difficult…”

“From that day on, the shelter only distributed one cream to each person every three days.”

“But that’s not enough…”

“My stomach growls every day, so I drink water when I’m hungry. I drink until my belly is full until I vomit and can’t drink anymore. Some people even die from being stuffed like that.”

“Now it’s a race against death!”

“Compare with others who can endure and persevere…”

“If you can endure it, you will live.”

“Otherwise, you will die early and be born early, and you will only take one step too early!”

The old man continued with a bitter look on his face:

“January 11th, Year 1 of the Glacial Calendar. I will never forget that day.”

“It’s only been less than a week, and there’s only one day left before the Star People arrive.”

“But just the night before, my old man just left…”

“Gone, gone, gone!”

Grandma Liu is a little crazy.

“I know… I have known about today, I have seen it…”

“The old man has always loved his grandsons very much. Seeing them howling with hunger, with their dry and thin faces… how could he eat them all? He gave them all to them, all of them!”

“Drink as much water as you can every day, and your stomach will be full of water! It’s all water…”

“But he is still gritting his teeth and persisting.”

“Just don’t die!”

“The reason is to be able to hold on for a few more days and to have one more cream for my little grandchild.”

“But why can’t this damn old man survive just one more day like me? Just one day, just one day!”

“This old man will be so angry if you don’t live up to expectations!”

“Chu Feng…”

“······”

Ouyang Xiuer lay on Chu Feng’s shoulder, crying.

I suddenly burst into tears.

Chu Feng moved through hundreds of shelters in a year, and he had seen many such tragedies.

Countless.

In a few words, Chu Feng probably already knew how this family endured.

First, the two old men endured it…

The so-called boil.

That is to only drink water and give all the food saved to my grandson.

no way.

The temperature is so low that the child will not survive without eating more.

After the two old men died, the two daughters-in-law took over.

Subsequently.

The pillars of support cannot fall.

The only option is children.

Otherwise, they would be just children without an adult to protect them, and they would not be able to keep food.

Even become food for others.

The reason why Chu Feng thought so.

Chu Feng has seen too many scenes like this.

There are even worse things than this.

In the absence of food, what else can a starving person eat in the cold weather?

“Grandma Liu, it’s all over, it’s all over…”

“Yes, the hard days are over.”

“Three little grandsons are still waiting for you. You have to look forward in life.”

I was comforted by the old sisters for a while.

Grandma Liu also calmed down.

People become better with age.

Look down on life and death.

It’s just something I feel.

“I know! I know! Now I am also a star person.”

“Although I am 58 this year and I have no job to arrange, I can still do embroidery. I can always sell it at a high price to support my family, but I can no longer make a living.”

“Yes, it is.”

Grandma Zhang took over the conversation.

“I also want to earn more money. My useless little son has not been hired. He is still lying in the mud puddle in Green Willow Town, waiting for me to save him.”

“······”

While listening, Chu Feng nodded secretly.

It seems that the old academics at the Institute of Economics did not fool themselves.

Further laying off these 55-60 year olds is not a burden.

On the contrary, it is nourishing the tertiary industry and even the handicraft industry is booming.

Key key.

All because everyone started to have money.

Having money naturally boosts domestic demand.

The economic banner of the shelter will be revitalized as a result.

certainly.

It’s just a sign.

But it also gave Chu Feng unlimited motivation…
