Chapter 1481: Surviving the Doomsday 16
The next days are just one word... endure!
The daily rations of food were enough to barely survive. Everyone tried to lie down and watch the programs on the TV next to them to reduce physical exertion.
Some people couldn't help but complain softly. Only 80% of the people who arrived at this shelter should have enough food. Why are they so stingy and want to starve people to death?
Some people say that naturally there will be people who will help, but with the fate of the harmonious elements who were kicked out before, and with this experience, everyone only dares to complain and does not dare to cause trouble in front of the public.
Xi Ning knew that even if there was enough food, he had to take it easy. After all, no one knows what the earth will look like in the future. Maybe the food in the shelter is the only remaining stock of the earth.
The food provided in the past few days had a short shelf life, but the food provided this month has been changed from bread packaged in plastic bags to vacuum-packed compressed biscuits and rusks that have a longer shelf life.
Once again, everyone was queuing up like zombies to receive food.
Jack stood behind her and Kathy, walking slowly forward with the team.
Someone was directing from the front: "Follow, follow. Those who have got the food leave from here, don't stay..."
After everyone lined up to get the food, they went out to the side door. Outside the door was a long corridor. There were doors on both sides of the corridor. Behind the door was the huge bunker room where everyone stayed.
After getting the food, Xining unpacked the compressed bread and milk packets as he walked and stuffed them into Casey's hands. After Kathy ate, an unwrapped piece of bread and milk was handed to her, which Jack helped her open.
"Thank you!" Xining took it and started eating.
Jack then continued to take apart his portion as he walked away.
"My food!" Suddenly, the food that a woman was eating not far away was snatched away by another person. After the other person grabbed it, he ran away and disappeared within a few seconds, leaving behind a man who was so anxious that he yelled, Woman losing food.
This woman wanted to go find the person who took her food, but it happened so fast, could anyone see it? Even if we check the surveillance, what will happen if we find out who it is? If the food is eaten, the worst case scenario is that he will be shot. It is better to be shot than to endure starvation.
The woman burst into tears like a child who had been robbed of candy. Although Casey was still confused and looked sideways at the poor woman, like everyone else, he silently walked around the woman and continued to eat his share.
This is why you eat food as soon as you get it. Some people may not be able to endure hunger and take desperate risks.
There wasn't much food. Because he was hungry, Xining finished it quickly. He poured all the leftovers into his hands, sucked it clean with his mouth, and threw the packaging bag into the trash can next to the corridor. . This is not where we are yet.
Of course, Jack also finished eating. With the nutrients Jack needed, these were not enough. Calculating that three days have passed, I will secretly give him a piece of compressed biscuit later.
Suddenly someone rushed out and snatched the half-eaten piece of bread from Kathy's hand.
Casey was stunned, then cried.
With his quick eyesight and quick hands, Jack grabbed the opponent's shoulder, turned the opponent over, and punched him with his fist.
There was a "bang", and after the fist came up, the nose blossomed. The other party was stunned immediately and covered his nose with one hand. The pain caused tears, snot and nosebleeds to flow out.
Jack grabbed half of the bread in his hand and handed it to Kathy: "Baby, don't cry, eat quickly."
The food was snatched back, and Cathy took the lost bread and said thank you with sobs. Jack's lips curled up, and when he turned his eyes, he saw his "wife" looking through the pockets of the food robber. Suddenly...
Xining searched through the other party's pocket and found out a small piece of butter that had not been opened. Then he kicked the "robber" over and was holding his nose. He bent over like a prawn in pain and had lost the ability to resist: "The robber" said: " Idiot, I’ll grab it after I finish eating!”
Jack...
The "robber" lying on the ground, even if he held his nose tightly, nosebleeds still seeped out from between his fingers...
Although everyone around looked at him, they didn't speak. Here, it is normal to rob and be robbed. Such things happen too many times, and the soldiers have no time to care. I can only blame this guy for not being smart. He robbed people he shouldn't have robbed, and instead had food taken away from him. He deserved it!
Xining continued to walk forward, lifted the top of the butter he had just received, handed it to Jack, and said in a commanding tone: "Eat it!" He was so happy in his heart that he saved a piece of compressed biscuit. Even if it's just a small piece the size of half a sugar cube, it's still edible and high in energy.
Jack took it and ate it silently. It is always right to listen to his wife. At least until now, this temporary wife has never asked him to take medicine, and she always has an impressive ability to judge reactions. Such a strong, smart and cunning wife, I can’t help but accept it!
When the time came, the lights were turned off again, and in the entire air-raid shelter, which was as wide as a basketball court, the fluorescent lights that had absorbed the light of the day gave off a dim light.
Not long after, there was the sound of snoring. And then...
In the corner not far away, the bed there was squeaking. The metal frame of the bunk bed swayed in such a special pattern, and the sound it made, no matter how gentle it was, made people blush and heartbeat.
If Casey hadn't fallen asleep, Xining would have really wanted to run over and beat these two.
A woman's voice came: "No, that's enough..." There were people around, and everyone could hear it clearly.
But if you're not here, where can you go? The only few toilets are probably full at this time, and if they are occupied for too long, the door will be smashed or even beaten.
The man in the same place was panting while continuing to make the bed squeak and shake. He lowered his voice and sounded a bit ferocious: "That's why I starved myself. It's not your turn to say no..."
There is not enough food to eat. If we don’t rely on stealing or robbing, then we can use anything in exchange.
If you have few clothes, you can go to the warehouse to get a set of work clothes. Here, it doesn’t matter whether you dress well or not. Who would use food to change clothes?
And gold, silver and jewelry are like dung, worse than a piece of work clothes, at least they can cover the body and keep warm.
So the only thing a woman can exchange is this.
Everyone is not surprised. When you are hungry, as long as you can stutter, you can kill and set fire. Talking about nobility at this time is like talking about chastity with a pack of hungry wolves.
So the creaking sound continued for another five or six minutes, a long five or six minutes. They should feel that time went very quickly, but the people around them found it difficult, especially those single mature men. The only time that can last longer than this is when the world is destroyed.
The sound finally subsided, and Xining let out a long breath, hoping that Jack had fallen asleep as well.
I heard a slight noise above, although it was only a slight turning.
Well, this guy didn't sleep!
