Chapter 1095 Gao Tianwu
Gao Tianwu, the head of Gaoyuan Village, was sitting in his office, worrying about the food for the village in half a month.
He knew very well that once there was no food, the entire plateau village would quickly collapse.
But after the end of the world, growing food has become extremely difficult.
There are some good planters among them, and they even know how to use dead wood to cultivate fungi, but that stuff can only fill the food gap a little bit.
The most critical rice, flour, grains and oils are used less and less.
It's not like they didn't want to go to Tianhai City to collect more resources and come back.
As early as more than half a year ago, they tried to find a way to cross the heavy snow and come to Tianhai City to investigate.
As a result, the situation in Tianhai City made their hearts freeze.
It has long been carved up by several large organizations.
They have a large number of people, and they all have thermal weapons in their hands. These people in Plateau Village are definitely looking for death if they compete with others for supplies.
Thinking of this, Gao Tianwu frowned tightly, worried about the future of the village.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house.
"Please come in!"
Gao Tianwu Dao.
The door was pushed open, and a tall young man walked in.
This is Gao Changguang, Gao Tianwu's younger brother. After the end of the world, he has been assisting him in maintaining order in the village.
Gao Tianwu forced a smile on his face.
"Xiaoguang, I asked you to go out to find supplies. How did you do?"
Xiaoguang looked apologetic, and Gao Tianwu's heart sank when he saw this scene.
"Brother Xiao Wu, we have already looted the ten-mile radius around the village. Where are there any supplies left now?"
"This time I took the risk of taking my brothers to a farther place, but the snow was so heavy that everything was submerged. There was no clue at all."
Gao Tianwu took a deep breath. His face was full of sadness. How could he not know how difficult it would be to leave the village to find supplies at this time?
Even if there are still undiscovered materials in the heavy snow, the snow that has fallen for a year has already submerged those uninhabited places.
The thick snow that is tens of meters deep would have to be dug out for years and months by their manpower?
Even though he is a strange person and possesses extraordinary strength, it is difficult for him to complete such a troublesome task.
Xiaoguang continued: "Brother Xiaowu, if this continues, the food in our village will not be able to sustain it for long."
"Some people have started talking privately. Last night, I just caught a few thieves trying to steal food! Do you want to give them a lesson and warn other villagers?"
Gao Tianwu held his chin with one hand and said with a solemn expression:
"You can't do this. Villagers steal food because they are worried about not having enough food to eat, so they want to hide it and tide over the difficulties."
"To put it bluntly, they just want to live. What's wrong with them?"
Xiaoguang said with some dissatisfaction: "But if everyone does this like them, our village will be in chaos!"
Gao Tianwu leaned on the chair, thought for a long time, and then said slowly:
"At this point, some special measures must be taken."
"Here's the order. From today on, the daily meals will be changed to one meal. Except for those who are responsible for patrolling every day, everyone else will reduce their activities. As long as they are inactive, they will not be hungry easily."
"When making porridge, add more water and less grain. In this way, the grain can at least last for a while."
Xiao Guang said with a bitter face: "Brother Xiao Wu, everyone has enough to eat now. If you continue to behave like this, I'm afraid you will have resentment in your heart!"
Gao Changguang said helplessly: "There is no other way. I have to suffer the villagers first and let me bear the blame."
"I have personally led a team out to look for food these days. I don't believe it. Such a big Tianhai City only lacks food for hundreds of people in our plateau village!"
Xiaoguang took the order and went down, and then he had someone inform him of the news.
When the villagers heard this order, they immediately burst into an uproar.
A villager named Meng Chuan immediately said: "We can't have enough to eat every day. We still have to add water to the gruel, so why not let us drink water!"
"How did Xiao Wu become the village chief? If he couldn't get food, he wouldn't have become the village chief in the first place!"
Some villagers whispered: "You can't say that. If it weren't for Xiao Wu and his brothers, how could we have been able to compete with the big villages next door? We would have already taken the blame. Whether we can survive is a question."
Meng Chuan snorted coldly: "It was before, and it is now. No matter how well he did at that time, who can guarantee that he has not changed his mind now?"
"Let us eat porridge every day, maybe he will eat white flour buns behind our back!"
Faced with Meng Chuan's harsh words, the villagers were not all ignorant.
Someone immediately stood up and accused Meng Chuan: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Wu is not that kind of person."
Meng Chuan sneered. He carefully looked around, and then whispered to the other villagers:
"What do you know? That kid kept all the food in his cellar."
"Do you really think he will share it equally with us? You want to eat shit!"
"I saw with my own eyes that he secretly took out a large bag of grain from the cellar. He was so sneaky that he didn't know where he was going!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of several nearby villagers immediately widened.
"Is what you said true or false?"
Meng Chuan vowed: "How can it be false? If I lie, you will cut out my tongue!"
Rumors took on wings and flew far away in the air.
Because there is a food crisis in Gaoyuan Village, the villagers will not have enough to eat, and they will feel resentful in their hearts.
At this time, a small spark is enough to plant the seeds of doubt in their hearts.
With the right soil, it only takes time for it to slowly grow, grow, and eventually turn into a terrifying monster.
In order to solve the food problem for the village, Gao Tianwu had to lead the team himself to go out to find food.
As an alien, he has strength beyond ordinary people, so he can better dig out materials buried under the snow.
He had also worked in Tianhai City in the past, delivering takeout and express delivery, and working as a waiter in a bar. He was relatively familiar with the locations of some large supermarkets and hotels.
I also know that places like this tend to have them in stock.
So he led a group of people, relied on his memory and the few high-rise buildings, and braved the heavy snow to explore carefully.
After several days of fighting, they finally found some supplies in the snow.
Although it was not much, it was enough to load two cars with dog sleds.
Xiaoguang happily said to Gao Tianwu: "Brother Xiaowu, this is great! Let's save some of these supplies. It's enough food for several days!"
Gao Tianwu exhaled a breath of thick white mist, looking a little tired, but his eyes could not hide the joy.
"Okay, let's keep working hard based on this momentum. I remember that there is a big supermarket about seven or eight kilometers further."
"It's getting late. Let's go back and have a rest. We'll take a few more people there to search tomorrow."
The sky was dim and the temperature would be lower at night. A group of people did not dare to stay longer and dragged their sleds back.
