Chapter 112: The Scavengers and the Lost Senior Executives
Chapter 112: The Scavengers and the Lost Senior Executives
"Although it was only a small shelter, there were hundreds of people living there after all."
“It’s more than enough to be used as a super-large warehouse.”
Su Wu’s current expectation for the sentry tower base is to build a giant warehouse for storing cheap supplies.
It is compared to the small bunker on the ruins of the farmyard.
The space is bigger and safer.
As long as there is no earthquake-type disaster, it can be basically guaranteed that the materials inside will not suffer too much damage.
Finished sorting out the internal affairs.
Su Wu began to turn his attention to the outside world.
At this time, the surface temperature dropped a little, hovering between 62 and 65 degrees.
This is still an extremely high temperature that is not suitable for human survival.
But compared to the scorching hot environment of over 70 degrees in the past, it still gives people some room to move around.
As the official large-scale post-earthquake rescue operation is gradually coming to an end.
Some shelters with less abundant supplies were keenly aware of this change in the environment.
Begin recruiting residents within the shelter.
All of them are sent to the ground for scavenging.
Collect various metals, plastics and anything else that has value for modification and utilization.
It is naturally impossible for these scavengers to have very complete equipment.
In fact, being able to wear a set of radiation-proof clothing sold online before the apocalypse is already considered high-end.
Most of the time, they don't wear any protective clothing at all. They just cover their face with a wet towel to reduce the pain of breathing a little, and then run to the surface to work.
Of course, even they are.
There will also be special vehicles following.
On the one hand, they are responsible for transporting all kinds of useful garbage they have picked up, and on the other hand, they provide them with temporary shelter.
Let them work for a few minutes, and then they can come back to the car to take a short break, restore their strength and reduce the heat accumulated in their bodies.
"There are too many of these people."
At this moment.
The reconnaissance drones sent out by Su Wu were in almost every ruin in Jianghe City.
Traces of these scavengers can be found everywhere.
Even if their individual efficiency is low, after the absolute number increases.
The total amount of supplies picked up is still an astonishing number.
This made Su Wu feel a little distressed.
Before this, he regarded the supplies in the ruins as things in his own backyard.
Although he felt a little sad, he also knew it.
As long as he is unable to collect all the resources of an entire city in a short period of time.
This scene before our eyes will appear sooner or later.
And at present, the official situation has not collapsed and order is generally maintained.
It was impossible for Su Wu to be too overbearing and drive away these scavengers directly with heavy hands.
And since we can't stop it, the only thing left is to join.
Su Wu’s hydroponic farm can produce a lot of vegetables every day.
If you use it to exchange with these scavengers, you will definitely be able to get a lot of good things.
Moreover, Su Wu could also send the survivors of the Green Lemon Shelter to join the scavenging team.
But after all, they are the people under his rule.
Su Wu was not so cruel as to let them work in the open air like those scavengers without carrying anything.
At the very least, we have to wait until the manufacturing center produces a batch of temperature-insulating suits and then paint them with anti-radiation paint.
Only then can they be released to pick up trash.
And this time.
Thinking of the busy manufacturing schedule at the manufacturing center.
Su Wu suddenly felt that the production equipment was not enough. But rationally, he knew that this was just a temporary illusion.
In fact, his current productivity is far greater than his resource reserves.
Once you get through this initial busy period, you will face a situation where resources are becoming increasingly scarce and the manufacturing center will have to stop working frequently.
Blindly expanding productivity now is completely tantamount to waste.
"take it easy."
"There's no point in being anxious."
The specific task of trading with the scavengers will continue to be handed over to Chen Xin.
Su Wu logged into the official satellite network again.
In the small group where the top wealthy people in Jianghe City gathered, it was also quite lively at this time.
Su Wu browsed silently for a while.
I found that they mainly talked about the radiation disaster and official gossip.
After experiencing the super earthquake yesterday.
Most of the small and medium-sized shelters put aside the radiation problem and focused on the immediate casualties.
However, the rulers of these large shelters, who have the assistance of a large number of elites and professional think tanks, will not ignore the radiation disaster, which is a horrible disaster that can truly turn the entire Jianghe City into a Jedi.
However, according to their continuous monitoring.
Large earthquakes also seem to have a certain inhibitory effect on radiation disasters.
So far, there has not been any new radiation disaster outbreak point in the entire Jianghe City.
Even the three original radiation disaster zones showed signs of shrinking and weakening.
This gave them all a sigh of relief.
As for official gossip.
That is the deep refuge they consider as their last place of safety.
There were heavy losses in this earthquake.
At least half of the deep shelters, more than seven, have completely lost contact with the outside world. No one knows whether the people inside are alive or dead.
However, considering that the defense of the deep shelter is relatively strong.
Survival supplies are also quite sufficient.
There is a high chance that the people inside survived.
But this doesn't mean much.
No one knows where they were transferred to during this earthquake.
The only thing that is certain is that it must be hundreds or thousands of meters underground, or even deeper.
In that position, they might never be able to dig a passage to the ground in their lifetime.
What's more, they may not want to come out.
After all, in their opinion, the ground at this time may have been completely contaminated by the radiation disaster and is no longer suitable for human survival.
"May they live happily deep underground."
"At least there are few people underground and plenty of supplies."
"If you use it sparingly, it will be enough for a lifetime."
A person in power in a large shelter, with a bit of gloating mood.
His mortal enemy had taken his family into the official deep shelter shortly after the first three radiation disasters broke out.
Now their family, along with the lost deep shelter, have sunk deeper into the earth.
I guess it's impossible for us to meet again.
"It seems that building a shallow shelter is not all bad."
"At least the chance of surviving an earthquake is much higher than in a deep shelter."
Another person in the group of wealthy people couldn't help but feel a little scared.
He almost hid in the deep shelter. Fortunately, at the last moment, he couldn't bear to leave his belongings and stayed.
This stay also saved his life.
