Group
After hearing his words, Yuan Huawei and the others 'eyes lit up. They had already given up on the possibility of eating and drinking. They did not expect the result to be so unexpected. It was really an unexpected surprise.
However, Yuan Huawei waved his hand behind his back, signaling for silence and not to talk nonsense. This was because his two companions were also in this team and had a tacit understanding of him. They quickly reminded each other. They were only excited for a while before they calmed down. However, this joy was not easy to hide, and the middle-aged man still found some clues.
The middle-aged man was a little puzzled." It's not like you guys are the first place. Why are you guys so happy?"”
Yuan Huawei: " Because I feel that our group still has a chance to fight for third place with the current situation.”
The middle-aged man looked at the things that Yuan Huawei and the others had brought back. The rabbit and pheasant should be barely close to 50 points, and more than ten thatch grass should be about 50 points. It was really possible for them to get third place. Anyway, the top ten and top five should be certain.
He was envious again. He looked at his team leader silently and remembered how he had only wanted to complete the most basic tasks and how he had dragged his feet. He had even spent half of his time sleeping. He regretted it for a moment, but now he could only sigh silently.
As time went on, the people around them chatted. The long line was also quickly shortened. After half an hour, it finally reached Yuan Huawei's team.
Since the registrar already knew Yuan Huawei, the university student, he greeted him with a smile before weighing the grass, rabbits, pheasants, and other animals they brought back. The result was exactly 99.8 work points, which made the middle-aged man who had been waiting to see the result feel upset again. He compared it to the top ten rankings beside him. This result was exactly the same as the third place, because in everyone's heart, the first place was basically confirmed.
Then, he heard the person in charge of registration say,"You're quite a good college student. Adding on the 91 points you got the first time, just a fraction of it is already much more than most of the groups.”
Yuan Huawei: " No, no, no. This is because the people in the group are all suffering and afraid. They just want to eat and sleep well. They are the main force.”
The registrar said," The train runs fast. It's all thanks to the locomotive. You don't have to be humble. Help me send it to the women in the quarantine zone. Your group should be able to get a few straw mats. Oh right, those who stay behind to help will also get a few work points. Let's round it up to a total of 200 work points."”
Yuan Huawei thanked him a few times and left, giving the registrar a lot of compliments. His other team members began to pack the grass under the staff's assignment. They followed the grass marks along the way to the registration area of the women's team happily. Yuan Huawei also helped to pack the grass, and a slightly excited smile appeared on his face.
The women's team's registration office
As it was more than 300 m away from the tunnel entrance, which was the intersection of two tunnels and roads, Yuan Huawei could see two machines working from dozens of meters away. The gasoline internal combustion engine was making a strong vibration sound. The female workers laid the smoothed thatch on the platform of the machine and fed the thatch into the machine bit by bit. From the other side of the machine, a neatly packed straw mat came out. Then, he placed it horizontally on the second machine and covered it with a layer of straw. After that, he came out with a thicker straw mat that was one or two centimeters thick. Then, it was carried by two female workers to the registration area where the women were.
As a farmer, Yuan Huawei knew what this machine was used for. In the past, the harvested rice straw at home was often taken away by the hawkers. Then, it should be woven into straw mats that could be rolled up by a machine like this. It was said that it was used in the greenhouse in winter. However, now it was used in this aspect, which made him feel a little awkward.
Yuan Huawei and the others placed the items in the female registration area and checked the weight again. They saw the female team's registrar looking at Yuan Huawei and the others in surprise and then asked,"Who is the team leader?"
Yuan Huawei replied as he walked over quickly and said,"I am, I am."
"Do you want a straw mat?" 8 work points for one piece, and each person's labor will be paid out from the account.”
"Eight work points for one?" I thought it was free?"
Female registrar: " It's a mess if you want to get it for free. There are places to earn work points, but of course, there should also be places to spend work points. If you don't understand, you can take a look at this place first.”
Then, the female registrar pointed at the sign beside her.
The red wooden sign was written in white chalk: There are three types of work points
1. Total labor points: All the work points earned by an individual's labor will not decrease with the consumption of work points.
2.[Consuming Work Points: The amount of work points used for consumption cannot exceed the amount of work points available.]
3.[Remaining Work Points: The remaining work points after consumption.]
Yuan Huawei and the others looked at it. It turned out that the female registrar must have been annoyed by the questions, so she wrote it down for everyone to see. However, the handwriting was really standard, as beautiful as printed words.
Yuan Huawei looked at the hundreds of straw mats that had been made, but there were not many people taking them. Could it be that most people did not earn enough work points? Or was it because of other reasons? So he asked the female registrar.
"Why are there so many leftovers?" Isn't there anyone who wants it?"
Female registrar: " We have already taken more than 1,000 tickets. I estimate that there will be more people collecting tickets after 10 o'clock at night because everyone will get three to five work points at night. By then, most people will be able to afford it.”
"Everyone has one?"
Female registrar: "Yes, almost everyone has one.”
"You guys can chase them out?" After all, there are still so many people."
" We'll work until we run out of thatch," the female registrar said." We'll stay overnight to make it convenient for everyone to exchange for mats until there are no more mats left.”
Yuan Huawei replied with an " oh oh " to show that he understood. However, he asked again,"What if I still don't have enough work points to exchange?”
Female registrar: " Two people can use work points to exchange for it. It's already spread. I reckon there will be a lot of people after dinner. Besides, how can a living person die from holding their pee?”
After Yuan Huawei heard the words of this average-looking female registrar…he was speechless. He didn't expect this woman to speak so directly, so he ended the conversation as if he was avoiding it.
Since there was still more than half an hour before dinner was usually served, most of his fellow villagers did not want to go back and forth to the tunnel to collect the straw mat. They would wait until dinner was served before they collected it. The others were closer to the tunnel entrance and were afraid that it would be unsafe to bring it back. Of course, many people had the same idea as them.
As the cooking place was about a mile away from the tunnel entrance and only about 100 meters away from here, one could clearly see that there were 18 big pots lined up in a row. They were even bigger than the big pots used in the countryside to kill pigs and shed feathers. These were all installed in the past two days. It could be seen that they were supporting facilities for the long-term refugee camp because more things were being prepared step by step.
Twenty minutes before lunch, the person from his team who went to help returned to the team and told him that his mother and neighbors had been rescued by the troops of the higher military region and settled down there. He did not have to worry anymore.
Yuan Huawei's heart finally felt a little relieved (he went to check on his mother's condition the next morning).
Not long after, two soldiers held a loudspeaker and began to line up according to the scores of the team. According to their request, Yuan Huawei could only go to the furthest position from the tunnel entrance that was marked with more than 100 points because they were the first team. At the same time, this place was closer to the military camp and the 18 big pots. Every pot was cooking rabbit meat or pheasant meat. The smell wafted around and made them salivate. Every now and then, they would stretch their heads out to take a look.
Yuan Huawei stood at the front of the team. One meter away was the second team, and another meter away was the third team. The other teams were sizing them up from the beginning to the end, as if they were a little unconvinced. They all thought that they must have been lucky, but more people looked at the eighteen pots through them, and they were also drooling.
They didn't know how long they had been waiting, but it felt like hours. The sky was completely dark. In the distance, they looked along the road and saw that the reservists who had gone out for training in the afternoon had returned. Under the lead of the soldiers and officers, they stood in formation on the other side of the road. They also stretched their heads out to look at the pot. The fatigue on their faces was swept away. They inhaled the fragrance of the meat that floated in the air. Almost everyone's face was filled with greed.
Finally, a portion of the soldiers who had returned from the team pushed a large flatbed cart to the front of the big pots. They scooped out the first big pot, the second big pot contained a whole rabbit and pheasant, and the third and subsequent big pots were all cut into pieces of animal meat. It seemed that they had been specially prepared.
As the meat was scooped out of the pot, the fragrance of the meat became much stronger. Everyone looked forward to it even more, and their anticipation became even more anxious.
Finally, it was time to distribute food. As the top three had special rewards, they were given a stainless steel plate to hold things.
The first group each had a rabbit and a pheasant, a big bowl of meat soup, a packet of instant noodles, and a small iron spoon.
Although there were no other seasonings other than salt, it was much better than eating instant noodles.
The second group was given a rabbit, and the third group was given a pheasant. Similarly, there was a large bowl of soup, a packet of instant noodles, and a spoon.
The rest of the top ten teams would have a bowl of soup, a bowl of meat, and two packets of instant noodles.
After the top ten, there was a piece of meat, a bowl of soup, and three packets of instant noodles.
Then, the wounded in the tunnel were of the same level.
The reserve players could only watch quietly, drinking diluted soup without meat and eating three packets of instant noodles. They were all abnormally depressed, but they did not dare to flare up.
As for the women's team, they only had a smaller piece of meat, a bowl of soup, and three packets of noodles.
While everyone was wolfing down their food, the installed loudspeaker sounded at some point. It sounded like it was still being debugged. After a while, a person's voice came from all directions. It seemed that the debugging was almost done.
Hearing this, everyone seemed to be not interested in eating. They continued to bury their heads in the instant noodles soaked in the broth. After all, this was the first time they had eaten broth noodles since they came here.
When everyone was almost done eating, new sounds began to appear from the speakers around them. Although the voice had changed a little, Yuan Huawei could still recognize Wang Zhiguo's voice at once.
Wang Zhiguo said," I believe that many people ate meat and soup for the first time after the catastrophe. It's also the best they've eaten in the past few days."
Perhaps some people feel that they don't eat as much as others and don't eat as well as others, so they feel a little unbalanced. Now, I want to tell my fellow villagers that these are all brought about by labor. It's because you don't work or work less. There's nothing to blame others for. It's your own problem.
We will continue to work tomorrow. I hope we can solve the problem of food and accommodation as soon as possible and use our labor to fight for more returns.
Next, I will arrange the work schedule for tomorrow:
The men's reserve team was responsible for collecting food within a 10-kilometer radius from the south of the highway. The other men's teams were responsible for collecting food within a 10-kilometer radius from the north of the highway. They had to pay attention to safety.
The reserve ladies would go to several villages near the highway toll station to search and bring back some necessities that could be used in life. At the same time, they hoped that the people who used to live near the Che Xi toll station would take the initiative to help...
……
……
In the next few days, Yuan Huawei was assigned to work by the army every day, including looking for food, cleaning up the debris on the highway and ordinary roads, leveling the land, and even cutting branches in the forest and stacking stones beside the fields. It was not until the 16th of the first month that he was informed that the First University had reopened that he was transferred to a larger refugee concentration area under the management of the higher-level military region. However, due to time constraints, He did not see his mother, who was also in this area.
Then, he was transferred step by step to the train station of a small city north of Xuanwu City (Xuanwu City was basically in ruins) and began his way to school in Qian City. When he arrived at Qian City, it was already the afternoon of January 20th, which was the end of his life as a refugee after the explosion.
Although he had ended his life in the refugee camp, everything he saw after walking out of the refugee camp gave him a great visual impact.
The cities along the way seemed to have lost all their vitality. There were almost no people on the streets of the city, and the once prosperous shops were almost all closed. This was a safe zone that had not been affected by the disaster.
In rural areas, teams of people could often be seen surrounding the cultivated land on the hillside. They wanted to restore the former cultivated land on the hillside and clear away the trees that had been planted for decades. They called this the return of forests, grass, and farmland. There was also the great transformation of the rural environment. Some land that could be used to grow crops was restored to grow crops, even at the expense of the environment that had been transformed. There was only one purpose, and that was to grow as many food crops as possible. This would reduce the food crisis in Zhen Country as much as possible.
The most shocking thing was the slogan: The destruction of the environment could be restored, but there was no way to revive people who starved to death.
The environment was precious, but life was even more valuable!! u
In the face of a short-term crisis of survival, the ruling body of Zhen Country had to bow to the right to life and practice the standard of human life being greater than the sky.
