Chapter 742 Hopeless City (10)
It was still the hay field outside the control center, where the people of Hopeless City were waiting.
The red light was on yesterday and supplies have been delivered. Last night, the supply team went door to door to find many people. They must have brought back a lot of supplies today.
Everyone in Hopeless City has a share, whether there is more or less. No one can say anything about this. After all, those who work should get more.
When Zhou Ye slowly moved over, there was already a long queue in front of him, and it was so dark that there were more than two hundred people.
In front of the grass is a high platform, which is a spacious and spacious speech platform. It used to be used for leaders to speak, but now it has become a place where the material team distributes materials and eats.
For the past year, many supplies, food, water, clothes, and medicines have been piled there every noon.
As time went by, the supplies on the high platform became less and less, until today they became more abundant again.
Everyone is lining up, waiting for the captain's order.
A man in a black fur cloak walked up. His name was Kanda. He was the captain of the supply team of Hopeless City. He had high prestige and everyone was happy to see him.
"Captain!"
Someone shouted, and then others followed suit.
Kanda stretched out his hand and patted it, his face under the beard had a solemn expression.
He glanced at the crowd and spoke with a heavy voice.
"Before we divide things, I hope everyone can know one thing. The temporary supply team formed yesterday sacrificed 20 people. The list has been hung on the wall next to it. I hope everyone can remember the sacrifices of these people and pay tribute to them. They pray.”
The atmosphere of the crowd became a little depressed, many people bowed their heads in silence, and some looked serious.
Someone is going to die every year. People who have lived here for a long time have already become accustomed to it. Life will continue after the silence. Materials begin to be distributed and people line up silently.
The team is very neat, everyone is silent, and no one will express dissatisfaction with what they are assigned, because the captain will try to treat everyone fairly.
Zhou Ye followed at the end of the team. She was the smallest and walked the slowest. Every time someone took something and left, she would look at him. Two packs of multiple people, almost all of them men.
There are only a few women, seven? Or eight?
Zhou Ye didn't count carefully.
And most of these men are older, some are younger, but very few.
They walked in a neat pace, and even though they were old, their backs were very straight. If you look at them for a while, it is not difficult to find that many of these people have obvious disabilities.
Some have no arms, some are missing an eye, and some have hideous and disfigured faces...
Zhou Ye watched silently and said nothing.
When it was her turn, a package was thrown down. It was almost half a person's height, bulging inside and looked very heavy.
"The newlyweds will gather in the back mountain with their quilts and clothes, and we will allocate rooms to you."
Zhou Ye looked at the package in front of him that was heavier than her, pursed his lips, reached out and grabbed the bag to pick it up.
Suddenly a strong and thick arm stretched out from behind her, passed directly over her, and easily picked up the package.
"Follow me."
The man took the thing and walked away. The package felt light in his hand. He took a long step forward. The two straight long legs under the old black trousers were very eye-catching.
Zhou Ye glanced at him, then followed him with his own bamboo stick.
Jun Li didn't wait for her deliberately. He walked with long strides and quickly reached the back mountain.
