Chapter 340 Eat First and Then Talk About Dreams (Thanks to A Fengyu for the 10,000-Yuan Reward)

Snowflakes began to float in the air again.

The small white feathers are scattered like blown pear blossoms.

The earth is covered with snow, and the biting cold wind blows.

After everyone came out of the electronics wholesale market, it snowed again.

This made everyone feel less happy.

The body of the tiger we just encountered was also missing.

But now they are not in the mood to look for it, nor do they have the energy to look for it again.

With a heavy heart, the vehicle drove slowly.

Driving all the way, the speed is not fast, but it is very stable.

The snow on the road is still so thick, and the snow shovels continue to shovel some of the snow away, clearing a passable road.

Everyone in the car simply has something to eat.

Li Yu suddenly said: "Shang Xueer, do you remember how many people there were when you finally left Jiefang City?"

Shang Xueer took the food in her hand, paused slightly, thought about it and said:

"Later on, after Director Zhang took in some refugees, some more people joined. I don't know the exact number, but there shouldn't be thousands of people, maybe eight or nine hundred.

But then there were riots, and a lot of people probably died, mainly due to conflicts between refugees and indigenous residents. After the subsequent riots, we couldn't control them at all.

After that, there was Lao Lu, and he escaped with us.

At that time, there was complete chaos in Jiefang City. Everyone was robbing each other and there were conflicts. "

Li Yu never asked much about why Lao Lu and the others escaped from Jiefang City.

Looking at Shang Xueer at this time, he actually knew why Jiefang City eventually perished.

The most fundamental reason is the food crisis. With a large population and unable to feed so many people, conflicts will naturally occur.

In any era, once a food crisis occurs, the greater the food gap, the greater the turmoil.

The second reason is that as the population increases, managers cannot manage so many people and do not have enough power to control ordinary people.

The barrel of a gun, the barrel of a pen, the barrel of a hoe.

The barrel of a gun refers to the force's armed strength, equipment, population, force value, etc.

The pen refers to the recognition under governance, the spread of public opinion, the sense of belonging, and compliance with the people's wishes.

Although at this time, in the apocalypse, morality has declined, there are still times when we need to rely on the pen to win over the people.

The hoe pole refers to food. If people cannot survive with the most basic food, it will not be very convincing.

Li Yu is not a great man. He thinks that he does not have that kind of appeal, so he has not expanded the base team to a particularly large number.

The most important thing is that in this apocalypse, there was heavy rain before, then drought, and now there is heavy snow.

There is a lack of land and the conditions for planting are so difficult, which means it is impossible to feed that many people.

The land does not have the most basic material foundation. Just relying on ideals and dreams is tantamount to wishful thinking.

You need to know that back then they were also shouting: Beat the local tyrants and divide their fields.

People are realistic.

But Li Hang and Cannon probably didn't quite understand this, so Li Hang asked: "What is the root cause of the riot?"

Shang Xueer said with some regret:

"You may not be able to imagine that in the later stages of Liberation City, none of us could find much food, and people hundreds of years older were hungry every day.

Even we can only eat one meal a day, not to mention ordinary people in Jiefang City, some of whom starve to death.

Then some group leaders had a lot of food in their hands. At that time, Director Zhang asked these people to divide some food, but they did not give it to them.

In the end, Director Zhang was killed, and then a riot broke out. Everyone started grabbing food, and then everyone went crazy.

To be honest, joining our base has been the happiest life I have ever had since the apocalypse broke out.

At least we can have enough to eat every day and a safe place. We don’t have to worry about danger every night. Moreover, the environment in our base is so good. "

Hearing what Shang Xueer said, Yang Tianlong and Cannon both remembered the time before they joined the base, and thought that it had been a long time.

But at that time, they were indeed living in a dangerous environment with lack of food.

Thinking about it now, such a long time has passed.

Li Hang has never experienced lack of food. Although he often went out to kill zombies after the apocalypse broke out, and even faced many enemies, he still never went hungry.

As Li Hang listened to Shang Xueer's words, he felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

Li Yu nodded and said to Shang Xueer: "Don't worry, now that you have joined us, we will work together to protect the base. I promise that we will not encounter this kind of situation in the future."

Hearing this, Shang Xueer nodded gratefully and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your acceptance.

However, I have always been worried about one thing. Our base environment is so good and everything is good, but if one day a force more powerful than us appears, what will we do? "

Li Yu took a deep look at her and asked, "What do you think we can do?"

Shang Xueer frowned and said: "Expand manpower, expand our base, and improve our strength.

But when there are too many people, things like Liberation City can easily happen, and food supply is a problem.

Now so much land cannot be used, and the weather is like this, I think it is difficult.

I always feel that in the end times now, it is difficult to have a very powerful force. In fact, we are also very powerful.

I am just worried that there will be more powerful than us.

Alas, I don’t know what to do. "

Li Yu looked at her and said, "Think about how you joined us."

Shang Xueer seemed to understand, and immediately bowed, saying with some regret:

"Sorry, I said too much. You have your arrangements, and I may think too one-sidedly. "

Li Yu did not answer her words directly, and said lightly: "I am very happy that you can think of these and tell me directly.

Just like Director Zhang, you should be very clear about the previous experience of Jiefang City.

The core of everything lies in productivity. The uncertainty of zombies, weather, and environment makes productivity full of uncertainty.

Let the bullets fly for a while. Too many people does not mean strong strength. Take it slowly. "

Everyone heard this and was savoring Li Yu's meaning.

Li Yu suddenly looked at Shang Xueer and asked, "Are you afraid of death? "

Shang Xueer was suddenly asked this question and was a little stunned. Is there any necessary connection between this question and what we just discussed?

But she still had to answer it, so Shang Xueer said: "It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid, but I seem to be that afraid."

Li Yu smiled and didn't say much.

In this doomsday, he only believed in one thing, that only those who have enough food can talk about reason.

On the way back, it was a little faster than the way here, but the speed was still not comparable to before the snow.

There were no other problems along the way.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, when the sun was setting, they arrived at the gas station outside the base.
