Chapter 179 Anonymous Good Samaritan
Military warehouse.
He Yewei looked at the flamboyant handwriting on the letter and fell into deep thought.
I don’t know which kind-hearted person solved their urgent problem.
These days, He Yewei has been worrying about food.
Due to the influence of heavy rain and floods, the soldiers have not been out for a long time.
Although the extreme cold this time was severe, it gave them the opportunity to go down the mountain to collect supplies.
The sudden drop in temperature caused all the flood water to freeze, forming a thick layer of ice.
A lot of supplies were frozen on the ice, which saved the process of searching.
But it took a lot of effort to bring the supplies back.
After picking and choosing, there is not much left that can be eaten or used.
The supplies stockpiled by the government are all in fixed quantities, and the amount distributed each month is also fixed.
After all, there are so many survivors in the shelter who need to be fed.
If there is no output and the usage is not controlled, these materials will not last long.
As for the rice soaked in water that Li Luo saw, it was a pure misunderstanding.
Those are not what the shelter provides.
Instead, the soldiers collected it from the foot of the mountain yesterday.
The types and quantities of food provided by the shelter are the same for everyone.
However, the soldiers in the military district are busy like tops every day, working around the clock, and consuming a huge amount of energy.
Therefore, their appetite is much larger than that of ordinary survivors.
He Yewei couldn't bear to see the soldiers going on missions on an empty stomach, so he didn't control their daily food intake.
This resulted in a food shortage in the military district just half a month after the shelter distributed food.
It would also be a hassle to apply to the authorities for grain approval.
Now these foods are equivalent to the "lifeline" of the entire shelter, and hundreds of thousands of people rely on them to survive.
The authorities can approve it, but once they approve it this time, the rules will no longer stand.
You know, at that time, the authorities held a meeting on food distribution in front of all the survivors.
Regardless of gender, age, or status, everyone received that much food every day.
In order to reassure people, the food reserves in the shelters are made public and transparent.
If food is approved for the military region this time, some survivors will definitely have objections.
They don't care about the soldiers' contributions, they only care about their own interests!
Moreover, such people are definitely not a minority.
Because at the very beginning, when the meeting was held to discuss the issue of food distribution, the military district had already applied in advance to give the soldiers extra food.
But, there are selfish people everywhere, especially in the end times!
These ungrateful people have long forgotten who rescued them.
Maybe not forgotten.
But I think that this is only natural.
These selfish troublemakers, under the pretext of "equality for all", secretly incite the people and create anxiety.
By the time the authorities reacted, nearly one-third of the survivors had already taken a stand against it.
The law does not hold everyone responsible, and the ringleaders have already disappeared, so there is no chance to make an example of them.
In order to avoid causing further riots, the authorities had no choice but to reject the military district's application.
However, there are also many survivors who are grateful and repay the kindness they have received!
They would save a portion of the food they received and distribute it to these heroes who defended their country.
This is also one of the reasons why these soldiers are still willing to stick to their posts in the end times.
We can't let those bad apples discourage other survivors.
Moreover, among the survivors are their families.
Although the soldiers did not receive any preferential treatment, their families were well taken care of by the authorities.
Only after resolving worries can we better serve the people!
In fact, the authorities are also helpless.
On the one hand, we have to stabilize the survivors, and on the other hand, we have to appease the military district.
But in the general direction, the authorities must make decisions based on the people's standpoint.
After all, the people are the foundation of the country.
The soldiers should know their mission the moment they choose to join the army.

He Yewei handed the letter to Lu Jingcheng and said:
"It seems that there are still many people who feel sorry for us soldiers."
He Yewei has already acknowledged that this is the warmth sent by a group of "living Lei Fengs".
After all, it is impossible for an individual to have so many supplies.
On the other side, Lu Jingcheng knew who did all this without even reading the contents of the letter.
Let’s not talk about the whole country, let’s just talk about the shelter in City N.
Apart from his Lolo, who else could have delivered so many supplies without anyone noticing!
Moreover, the warehouse is full of supplies!
Lu Jingcheng looked at the contents of the letter, smiled faintly, and said nothing.
What I was thinking was:
“Not many people feel sorry for me~
Only my girlfriend feels sorry for me~"
After returning the letter to He Yewei, Lu Jingcheng said goodbye as he had other things to deal with.
He Yewei carefully put away the letter and instructed the soldiers behind him:
"Go and gather the soldiers on the playground. I want to pass on this good news and give everyone a good meal tonight."
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the soldier saluted and then left the warehouse happily.
Great, I can finally have a good meal!
He was so hungry these days that he even dreamed of eating rice, and there was no taste in his mouth.
He almost forgot the taste of vegetables and meat!
We must spread this good news quickly.
Thinking of this, the soldier quickened his pace and ran towards the broadcasting room.
He also had no time to respond to the questions from his comrades along the way.
Only one sentence was left.
"You'll know in a minute!"
Having said that, he disappeared in a flash.
The other fighters looked at each other.
"What was that kid doing in such a hurry?"
"Who knows? But judging by his expression, it should be his wife who brought him food."
"Oh, it's great to have a wife!"
"+1"
"That's not right. Isn't that the direction he ran to the broadcasting room?"
“Oh, it’s true!”
"Is his wife waiting for him in the broadcasting room?"
"Go away, what wife or no wife, you are everywhere!"
Just then, a notice of emergency assembly came over the radio.
The soldiers who had just been chatting and joking immediately stopped playing and quickly and in unison gathered towards the playground.
On the stage, He Yewei's face was beaming with smile.
He patted the microphone in his hand, cleared his throat and said:
"Warriors, we have gathered here today to announce a piece of good news!"
Then, He Yewei carefully took out a letter from his arms and continued:
"This morning when we were on a mission, an anonymous kind-hearted survivor sent us a warehouse of supplies. We will have an inventory of the supplies later."
After a pause, He Yewei continued:
"This letter in my hand is what they left behind. Let me read it to you."
Then, He Yewei recited in a tone similar to reciting an ancient poem, with great emotion:
"To the lovely warriors, thank you for your continued dedication."
As soon as he finished speaking, applause from a soldier suddenly broke out from the quiet crowd below the stage.
Soon after, this thin applause was drowned out by thunderous applause.
The atmosphere in the venue was high and the soldiers couldn't help but cheer with excitement!
