Late July

Time flies by.

It's been a week since we got back from Tahrir. The time came to the end of July. Tomorrow is August.

The sun is shining, and the water in the pond is getting less and less. Some time ago, in order to prevent the sun from evaporating water, a layer of black shade balls was laid on the top.

This black shade ball can effectively mitigate the sun evaporation, saving a lot of water.

Otherwise, direct sunlight will waste most of the water.

In this way, the rate of decline of the water source in the mountain pond has been greatly alleviated.

Not only in the mountain pond used this black blackout ball, but also in the rice field also used this, the effect is OK.

The rice has entered the heading period.

In the base, there is an old farmer like grandpa who has planted farmland all his life, and he is a real farm expert.

At what stage to do what things, the old man's mind is clear.

Here at the base, except for the hot weather, everything else is normal.

There was no mess, and because there was plenty of electricity, many people turned on the lights at night to watch movies and TV shows.

The older generation also like to watch some drama and so on, Li Yu downloaded a lot, including various types, have.

It's a way for everyone to relax.

Here in Tahrir, it's not so good.

Before accepting those refugees, the liberation city was faced with various problems, food was scarce, water was also a big problem, even if there was a river not far away, but the sun was too big, and it was going to dry up.

As for running water, it stopped two weeks after the outbreak of the end times.

Now most of the water they drink is pumped from the river.

I also thought about digging some Wells, but in the highlands of Jiefang City, water needs to be dug very deep to be able to have, so after drilling a well, 10 meters below, there is still no water.

It's been on hold for a while.

But now that water is becoming more and more of a problem, well drilling has started again.

There is no relevant equipment, can only rely on manual drilling.

Finally, after seven days of drilling, the depth of the well has reached 30 meters, and the water finally appears.

The water problem has been alleviated for the time being, but there is still a huge problem ahead, that is, food.

Jiefang City in the past mainly relied on the collection of materials in the city, with some crops planted in Jiefang City, but these crops have not yet waited for the mature season.

Some of the food that used to be hoarded is now running low.

Originally, they had accumulated a lot of food, and as the largest force in the city, they lived very well in the first six months without the oppression of the Salvation Army.

But now more and more people are joining, and the director Zhang is holding the idea of helping people, as long as you join, you will lend you food for two days, two days later, you need to follow the team to go out to find food, and then hand over part of it.

After more than half a year, all kinds of supplies are less and less, and in the hot weather, a lot of food has been smelly, and even can not eat.

The food crisis, like a mountain, oppressed them out of breath.

These newly joined refugees also went out to look for supplies, but often the situation is that they will not hand over the collected materials. They know how horrible it is to go hungry.

All sorts of tricks were developed to hide the material.

In fact, the mechanism formulated by the Liberation City is like this, phased rotation, some people will go out to look for supplies, they hand over some of them, the rest for themselves.

Some are on duty, guarding the base; Some people need to do some things, such as drilling Wells, planting and so on.

This part of the people, similar to wages, are collectively distributed to them some basic living materials.

Originally, these people who went out would also hide most of the materials and give a very small amount of things to the collective, but there were also some small captains who directly oppressed the people below and handed over most of the materials.

There are many teams, and there are many contradictions, but they have not broken out.

However, when these displaced people joined, some were unwilling to hand over most of their supplies, and there were some direct clashes.

This head-on conflict, accompanied by less and less food available, has become more and more intense.

Suddenly, one day, they searched outside for a day, but did not find any material, and the conflict became more intense.

Everyone hid their food, and some of the team leaders used their power to distribute more supplies, so they were able to live normally.

But for some at the lowest levels, when there is no sustained supply of food, they are suddenly out of food.

In the face of hunger, this contradiction begins to grow.

Internal fights over food began, and there was even bloodshed.

In the face of hunger, any institutional rules that have been put up with paper are torn down.

Chaos begins.

Director Zhang and others are also aware of this problem, but he has no way, now the most fundamental problem is food!

Without food, you can't live.

Just now there was another fight. Some homeless people went to snatch food from the original inhabitants of Jiefang City. There was a fierce fight between the two groups.

The final struggle, or Captain Lu and others intervened, fired a shot in the air, and then shocked all the people present, which was stopped.

However, after this struggle, people's minds changed completely.

There are conflicts between the displaced people and the local inhabitants, between those who join first and those who join later, and between these managers and the people at the bottom.

In addition, the sun is shining, and the zombies outside have not appeared in the daytime recently, so when there is no external contradiction, the internal contradiction will be amplified infinitely.

"Lao Zhang, the situation is very serious." Captain Lu found director Zhang said.

Director Zhang sighed, or said: "How good, become like this?" Also, is our part of the supplies all right?"

Lu team took a look at the director of the chapter, sighed, and finally said: "Although there is no problem, but not much."

"How can that be?" Director Zhang asked in surprise.

Captain Lu looked at the director of the chapter with some speechless: "Originally, the materials collected in the recent period of time were pitiful, sitting on the mountain and eating nothing."

For a time, both of them were somewhat silent, and Director Zhang suddenly said, "In fact, we still have materials, but I think we can discuss it with them." Now it's all about food. Tahrir has always been about fairness and justice, but without us, they wouldn't have an environment like this."

Director Zhang went on to say: "Find those small captains, let them contribute some, in fact, I know that they are greedy, read in them are old people, did not pursue them." There is no way now. We cannot watch this polarization continue."
