Chapter 339: Eat first and then talk about dreams (Thanks to A Feng Yu for the 10,000 reward)

Snowflakes began to float in the air again.

The small white feathers are scattered like blown pear blossoms.

The earth is covered with snow, and the biting cold wind blows.

After everyone came out of the electronics wholesale market, it snowed again.

This made everyone feel less happy.

The body of the tiger we just encountered was also missing.

But now they are not in the mood to look for it, nor do they have the energy to look for it again.

With a heavy heart, the vehicle drove slowly.

Driving all the way, the speed is not fast, but very stable.

The snow on the road is still so thick, and the snow shovels continue to shovel some of the snow away, clearing a passable road.

Everyone in the car, simply eat something.

Li Yu suddenly said: "Shang Xueer, do you remember how many people there were when you finally left Jiefang City?"

Shang Xueer took the food in her hand, paused slightly, thought about it and said:

"Later on, after Director Zhang took in some refugees, some more people joined. I don't know the exact number, but there shouldn't be thousands of people, maybe eight or nine hundred.

But then there were riots, and a lot of people probably died, mainly due to conflicts between refugees and indigenous residents. After the subsequent riots, we couldn't control them at all.

After that, it was Lao Lu who took us and escaped.

At that time, there was complete chaos in Jiefang City. Everyone was robbing each other and there were conflicts. "

Li Yu never asked much about why Lao Lu and the others escaped from Jiefang City.

Looking at Shang Xueer at this time, he actually knew why Jiefang City eventually perished.

The most fundamental reason is the food crisis. With a large population and unable to feed so many people, conflicts will naturally occur.

In any era, once a food crisis occurs, the greater the food gap, the greater the turmoil.

The second reason is that as the population increases, managers cannot manage so many people and do not have enough power to control ordinary people.

The barrel of a gun, the barrel of a pen, the barrel of a hoe.

The barrel of a gun refers to the force's armed strength, equipment, population, force value, etc.

The pen refers to the recognition under governance, the spread of public opinion, the sense of belonging, and compliance with the people's wishes.

Although at this time, in the apocalypse, morality has declined, there are still times when we need to rely on the pen to win over the people.

The hoe pole refers to food. If people cannot survive with the most basic food, it will not be very convincing.

Li Yu is not a great man. He thinks that he does not have that kind of appeal, so he has not expanded the base team to a particularly large number.

The most important thing is that in this apocalypse, there was heavy rain before, then drought, and now there is heavy snow.

There is a lack of land and the conditions for planting are so difficult, which means it is impossible to feed that many people.

The land does not have the most basic material foundation. Just relying on ideals and dreams is tantamount to wishful thinking.

You need to know that back then it was also called: Beat the local tyrants and divide their fields.

People are realistic.

But Li Hang and Cannon probably didn't quite understand this, so Li Hang asked: "What is the root cause of the riot?"

Shang Xueer said with some regret:

"You may not be able to imagine that in the later stages of the liberation of the city, none of us could find much food, and people hundreds of years older were hungry every day.

Even we can only eat one meal a day, not to mention ordinary people in Jiefang City, some of whom starve to death.

Then some group leaders had a lot of food in their hands. At that time, Director Zhang asked these people to divide some food, but they did not give it to them.

In the end, Director Zhang was killed, and then there was a riot. Everyone started to grab food, and then everyone went crazy.

To be honest, joining our base is the happiest life I have ever lived since the outbreak of the last days.

At least we can eat enough every day, and there is a safe place, so we don't have to worry about danger every night, and the environment in our base is still so good. "

Hearing what Shang Xueer said, both Yang Tianlong and Da Pao remembered the time before joining the base, thinking that it had been a long time.

But at that time, they were indeed living in a situation of lack of food and crises around them.

Now that I think about it, it's been such a long time.

Li Hang has never experienced a lack of food. Although he often went out to kill zombies after the apocalypse broke out, and even faced many enemies, he still never went hungry.

Listening to Shang Xueer's words, Li Hang felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

Li Yu nodded and said to Shang Xueer: "Don't worry, now you have joined us and we will work together to protect the base. I promise that we will not encounter this kind of situation in the future."

Upon hearing this, Shang Xueer nodded gratefully and said:

"Thank you Mr. Li, thank you for your acceptance.

However, I have always been worried about one thing. Our base environment is so good and everything is good, but if one day a force more powerful than us appears, what will we do? "

Hearing this, Li Yu took a deep look at her and asked, "What do you think can be done?"

Shang Xueer frowned and said: "Expand our manpower, expand our base, and enhance our strength.

But there are too many people, and things like Jiefang City are prone to happen, and food supply is a problem.

With so much land now unusable and the weather like this, I find it difficult.

I always feel that in today's apocalypse, it is difficult to have a very powerful force. In fact, we are also very powerful.

It's just that I'm worried that there will be someone more powerful than us

Alas, I don’t know what to do either. "

Li Yu looked at her and said, "Think about how you joined us."

Shang Xueer seemed to understand, and immediately bowed and said with some regret:

"Sorry, I said too much. You have your own arrangements. I may have thought too one-sidedly."

Li Yu did not directly answer her words, but said calmly: "You can think of these and tell me directly, I am very happy.

Just like Director Zhang, you should know the lessons learned from Jiefang City.

The core of everything lies in productivity. The uncertainty of zombies, weather, and environment makes productivity full of uncertainty.

Let the bullets fly for a while. Too many people does not mean strong strength. Take your time. "

When everyone heard this, they were all tasting what Li Yu meant.

Li Yu suddenly looked at Shang Xueer and asked, "Are you afraid of death?"

Shang Xueer was suddenly asked this question and was a little stunned. Is there any necessary connection between this question and what was just discussed?

But I still had to answer, so Shang Xueer said, "It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid, but I seem to be so afraid."

Li Yu smiled and didn't say much.

In this end of the world, he only believes in one thing. Only those who have enough to eat can talk about it.

The way back was a little faster than the way here, but the speed was still not comparable to that before the snow started.

I didn't encounter any other problems along the way.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, as the sun was setting, they arrived at the gas station outside the base.
