Chapter 65: strong might not survive but persistent will survive
Mohini gave her a mask to put on and the changed their outer dress.
Right now all the roads are empty so they can move quickly on an electric bike that does not make any sound.
When they arrived near the warehouse there are no guards because of the temperature.
There are no security cameras.
The food is mostly stored inside the warehouse and there is a small security room with air conditioning inside the warehouse.
They have decided that the best place to guard things is from the inside.
They are military people and everything is counted.
The private food of those rich people was also stored just like this in secret.
The military is also guarding the food, water and medicine of those rich people here.
Most of the food here should belong to the citizens but it was hoarded by those rich and uses the military with the power they had as political leaders.
Military people cannot show disobedience when the orders are given from the authority.
The military people wanted to help the citizens but they cannot.
This has persisted till the end of extreme summer and after that the world plunged into turmoil.
There are no longer political leaders that controlled the military.
This is what many people thought but even then the things are still the same.
When the bases are set up there are still rich people with private military and weapons in their hands.
Because of that the scattered military personal could not do anything but to work under.
The first base was set up all the way in the north near Agra city where the water from Yamuna River was harvested.
It is not a single base but a cluster base.
That is close from that base there are other bases connecting to the Life Rivers Ganga and Brahmaputra.
Well the connecting countries of these rivers like Pakistan, Bangladesh, china, Tibet, Nepal…also set up bases nearby.
This caused the water skirmishes from time to time.
Unfortunately for them the might of entire country was concentrated in the north completely abandoning the south.
Because of this the other countries that were stretched with scattered bases could not win.
Bangladesh being the country from the same origin came into cooperative relationship.
This is the same with Nepal and Tibet.
Pakistan did not accept the cooperation instead wanted to go to war.
Well if half of the military, weapons and resources of India is still in the south then they might have reached the stalemate.
But the entire army is concentrated in the north and is directly situated in the bases nearby.
So they lost the battle and have to come into cooperative terms.
As for china they made the bases based on provinces.
On the southern side there is only one base and it is also in competitive battle with the military of the neighboring base of their country.
Even though they are united they have more respect towards their general than towards their country head.
Other than that the bases in cooperative relationship helped for getting little extra water resource making things difficult for them.
Finally they lost.
Even if they are lost India or other countries in cooperation with did not move up instead only salvaged few important things and left.
The problem with India and china in this situation is very simply.
The offer between the two countries is the main difference for their defeat.
The Chinese people asked the weaker country's bases to change their name and become their vassal base
On the other hand all Indian asked is resource cooperation and trade of resources.
Just because of these simple terms they lost the battle.
Originally the Chinese people are not like that but the years of brainwashing about their superiority has created the current situation.
On the other hands the naive country people in India under the forced rule of British and east India company learnt the dark business way and the wisdom of neutrality.
This was mixed with the knowledge of management taught by Chanakya a polymath in ancient India.
Well this is the first half of the reason and the second half is that the other bases of china are very far from the Himalayas.
Also there are internal differences caused after the apocalypse.
Finally the military took the authority to rule.
Well it is good for their citizens but the result is that their military is severely strained and stretched.
As for the reason why southern part of India is abandoned is because of the floods from the oceans and seas.
The fresh water in the central region is depleted by the power of the hot sun.
At the same time the remaining water is polluted by the flooded water.
Most of the place is already submerged and the people from Srilanka has already joined forces with India and moved up.
The citizens are abandoned but just the families of the rich and powerful people all over the country along with the officials are already amounted 10 percent of the population.
The military and their families added up to another 20 percent of the population.
Finally few lucky and persistent people made up to another 20 percent of the population.
So all in all 50 percent of the population was saved while keeping big amount of food, medicine, weapons and army.
It might look selfish but the survived people have gone through the trails of life and death so they are far more tenacious than any other.
The strong survives is the old saying.
The persistent and tenacious survives is the new saying in the apocalypse.
Even the rich people have to go through life and death.
There are people that want to kill the rich and get their wealth.
They are the first one to bear the burnt in the apocalypse situation.
On the other hand the normal survivors only face other survivors for supplies or they form a team to move on and backstab each other.....
