Chapter 678 Chaos and Order


Chapter 678 Chaos and Order

In the far north, among the vast coniferous forests, there is a remote small town with only one railway stretching through it.

There are dozens of lumberyards here, producing high-quality red pine wood with a long history, which is used to make high-value furniture. The entire town is mainly engaged in the industrial chain related to the logging industry, and the name of the city is also It's called Red Pine City.

Trees in the cold zone grow slowly and must be harvested in separate areas, and many areas must be divided. Only one area is harvested each year and replanted immediately after felling to ensure continuous timber and sustainable development.

Fortunately, the land in the far north is vast. The area covered by a small city is hundreds of times that of the prosperous areas in the interior. An ordinary city in the interior has jurisdiction over only hundreds or thousands of square kilometers. This area easily exceeds ten Thousands of square kilometers.

However, at this moment, this originally prosperous red pine city with no worries about livelihood has been cut off from traffic and communications, and is on the verge of chaos.

A thick fog covered the city, completely submerging it and disappearing into the vast northern jungle.

In the management office in the center of the city, several leading local figures were gathering together, sitting in front of a mahogany round table, discussing matters.

"It has been seven days. Even if we cannot communicate with the outside world, the outside world should have discovered a problem and sent people to check for abnormalities." A middle-aged man said worriedly, his face had typical cold zone characteristics, He is tall, with a high nose and deep-set eye sockets.

He is the mayor of this city, Wang Hailu, who is fully responsible for daily affairs. He looks sad at this time.

Sitting opposite him was an old man named Zhong Boshuang, who was the city's financial officer.

The old man sighed and said: "There is not much food stored in the city. It is enough for about two weeks. If we can't open up external transportation, then we will fall into a situation of food shortage, and the consequences will be disastrous. City Chief It’s better to make plans early and implement a wartime economy.”

Several other people felt awe-inspiring. Of course they knew that Zhong Boshuang was not lying, because Red Pine City cannot be self-sufficient in food, and logging is the main business here. There are some vegetable gardens outside the city, but they only provide fresh vegetables, which are not enough for the consumption of the entire city.

Every time, the wood is sold and then transported to cattle, sheep, fruits and vegetables. This kind of industrial model was very healthy in the past. After all, the value of wood here is much higher than that of food, and it is mechanized and scientific production. Don’t worry about the extinction of timber resources.

But now we are in a desperate situation. The wood is piled up like a mountain and cannot be transported out. Food is becoming increasingly scarce. We cannot let everyone imitate the termites eating wood.

"Why don't you grow mushrooms quickly? There is still a lot of wood that has not been transported out of the city. The temperature is not low now. If you use the wood to grow mushrooms in time, you should be able to survive until reinforcements arrive." A local boss named Yu said suggested.

In Wen Rensheng's previous life, there were many rich people who built various doomsday fortresses, and there were even companies specializing in this industry. However, in this world, there are many crises, and capable people will naturally make more preparations.

The boss here usually makes a lot of preparations. Growing mushrooms at the end of the world is also an idea he saw on the Internet. Of course, this idea is very unreliable. After all, the production of mushrooms requires organic matter, and it cannot use solar energy to do it. Photosynthesis is definitely not suitable as a source of food for the end of the world.

Boss Yu originally moved to a big city inland early, but he still has many industries in Red Pine City, such as wood processing and furniture making. This time he came to see the situation, but he ended up being trapped. here.

“How can you grow mushrooms in time?” the financial officer shook his head.

At this time, a young man next to him, in his thirties, named Shi Longyu, who was the city's police chief, agreed: "Boss Yu is right, maybe it's too late, but at least it can help the common people." A hope to make them feel at ease. Otherwise, with our small manpower, once 50,000 to 60,000 civilians get into chaos, it will be a disaster. I have informants who have sent news. I heard that some people are secretly preaching that the end has come. Rumor."

"The end is coming, this is absolutely impossible! I was in Beibing City a week ago, and everything was normal there, and there is no way it will be the end!" Boss Yu immediately shouted when he heard this! .

He never believes in the end of the world, and he is not willing to come to a doomsday restart. He has a business worth hundreds of millions, more than a dozen properties... He is only 60 years old this year, and he heard that the alien world has long been able to extend the life of mortals. drug.

The price seems to have dropped a lot now, and his good days are still to come. How can he accept the sudden outbreak of doomsday? The others looked at Boss Yu and remained silent, just making their own calculations in their minds.

There has been no news for a week. Under normal circumstances, their management office has to contact the superior agency online every day and report various situations. If there is no contact for one day, someone will come over immediately to investigate the abnormality.

There has been no movement for a week now, so the doomsday theory may not be false.

It’s just that they still force themselves to believe that everything is great outside. It’s a remote place and it’s normal for them to not be able to support them for a while.

After a while, the city mayor Wang Hailu clapped his hands and said decisively: "Okay, Long Yu, you should quickly organize the manpower, the security officers of your security station, and recruit reserve militiamen to select reliable people. Carry out temporary armed forces, and then pull out some people to cooperate with Lao Zhong to implement a wartime economy, collect food, and distribute it rationed. Lao Yu, you take people to the agricultural company to see if there are any mushrooms, and gather people to work on growing mushrooms... ..."

As he spoke, he focused on the three aspects of manpower, food, and work, firmly grasped the core, and arranged everything in an orderly manner to convince others.

But these people didn't know that there was also a group of people gathering in a residential area of ​​Red Pine City.

"The doomsday has broken out. According to what is written in the novel, whoever is prepared first will be able to survive!" A bald man said with excitement on his face as he danced.

He seemed to see all the gold in the city, and the women were all at his mercy.

"Boss Wang, what is the basis for your claim that the apocalypse will break out? I didn't see any zombie monsters appearing?" A young man asked doubtfully.

"Fool, haven't you seen the heavy fog all over the city? This is the early days of the apocalypse. First there will be a fog blockade, then monsters will appear in the fog, and then monsters will eat people... Now it's for us During the preparation time, we must take action quickly, organize people, grab and accumulate food, and by then we will have whatever we want, and whoever wants to be happy can be whoever we want!" said the bald man, waving his arms.

"Okay, listen to big brother!"

"I heard that in the end of the world, some people will mutate. The rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation. I wonder if we can mutate into those extraordinary people?" Someone drooled.

"It's definitely possible. As long as we survive to the end, all the benefits will be ours!" Boss Wang affirmed and took over everything.

Although Dongzhou is developed, no matter how developed it is, even if there is no shortage of food and drink, there will still be dissatisfied and lazy people. This is the result of human nature.

This group of people are all workers in the lumberyard, but they are usually lazy and often absent from work. They form gangs and intimidate the good people so that they can continue to hang out in the lumberyard.

Because of the remote location, it was difficult to recruit workers, so the managers pretended not to notice, lest they get angry and make other workers unable to stay.

But now that the fog is coming and the city is isolated, they immediately think that it is the same as in movies and novels, that the end has come, everyone only looks at fists, and wealth is redistributed.

These people yelled a lot, and relying on their skills gained from fighting, they were confident that they could deal with the idiots in the office, so they started to get busy under the arrangement of Boss Wang.

Chaos and order are operating spontaneously at the same time in this small northern city.
