Chapter 17
With the establishment of the base by the military, in order to facilitate management, all the people who entered the base received special new ID cards, even the six members of the Lu family who lived within the base area were no exception.
The suburbs are sparsely populated, and the surrounding zombies have been swept away by the military.As the military slowly advanced into the city, everyone believed that it would be a matter of time before the second-generation zombies were wiped out.
But too many people flocked here. Although the government distributes everyone's daily living supplies for free, there are too many people and too many things.The law and order in the base is still poor and chaotic.
The military's attention is all on eliminating the zombies. All kinds of affairs in the base, arranging residences, maintaining law and order, and distributing supplies are all done by the government.
In the corner where there are no soldiers and police, it is unknown how many conflicts have occurred, big and small.Others took the opportunity to steal and rob.Because the city's population needs to be emptied, there are still some people who want money and don't want their lives to stay in the city, and take the opportunity to rob those jewelry stores, famous brand stores, and people who are interested in bank vaults.Those who raided the supermarket have become excusable petty crimes.
It's a pity that the army and the government had already thought of this situation when they were planning, and surveillance cameras in and around the city have been used all the time.Anyone who committed a crime was quickly caught. The government of country Z has announced that the country will implement "strike hard". Anyone who takes advantage of the chaos to rob and kill people during the outbreak of the virus will be sentenced severely and quickly.A group of people were shot, and most of the greedy people who were about to move stopped.
The government is worried that people will have nothing to do, and trouble will happen after a long time.So the teachers were called together, and they gave lessons to the minors.
And try to arrange a variety of trivial jobs, so that anyone who is willing to work, including women with insufficient physical strength and the elderly can earn points.
They even contracted out the unowned fields acre by acre, which can not only supplement food and vegetables, but also keep people from being idle.
Originally, in the outskirts of city B, in order to protect the forest environment behind it, the government policy basically did not allow real estate development.Now government-funded building construction has started, which has created a large number of job opportunities.
In this way, the society will gradually stabilize. Although life is difficult, people will be able to have a job and their hearts will be stable.What's more, the punishment for crimes is so severe now, which also destroys some people's luck.
On the contrary, those who went to the supermarket to find food and supplies without paying, because it was for survival resources, so the government leniently dealt with them, paid a fine, and were educated, and then they were fine.
The materials rationed by the government are only enough for everyone to survive. If you want more or enjoy it, you can only buy it.In order to facilitate management and prevent the materials from being bought by individuals in large quantities, the government announced that the materials provided by the government can only be purchased with points issued by the government.
In order to earn points, you must complete the work issued by the government.It may be farming, it may be raising pigs, it may be repairing walls, it may be moving bricks, it may be sweeping streets.Either physical work or trivial work.As long as you are willing to work, you can get points and exchange for various materials you need.You can also exchange cash for points, but at that ratio, the price is too high.Only people who really don't care about money would do that.
You can also use points instead of materials to pay the rent of the base.Those who don’t have supplies to pay their rent live in large tents set up by the military to help victims of disasters, and it’s unknown how many people live in one tent.
Most people bring a lot of supplies when they come to the base, and they can rent a small house at the base.That's much better than living in a free tent and cooking your own meals.
There are more and more news on the Internet. In some areas of the world, because there is no unified political power, or the government’s control is unfavorable, or even the government’s intentional abandonment, the whole population has been infected with the second-generation virus. Half of the survivors have been immunized, and the other half The zombies are no longer a threat to the immune.After the ravages of the first-generation virus and the second-generation virus, only about a quarter of the original population remained in the local area.
For example, country Y, a country with a large population, has a large part of it like this.This made the survivors of country Y have nothing to do, but it also produced a huge number of second-generation zombies.
The border of country Y is adjacent to country Z, which has also caused great threats and pressure to country Z and other countries adjacent to country Y.
If they were left alone, these zombies would flood into the country, which would mean that a large wave of infections would spread across the country, and neither the military nor the government could allow this to happen.If the second-generation virus breaks out in country Z, the result will be terrible. Everyone needs to pass the second-generation virus test, and no one can be exempted. Who knows who can get immunity?
For similar reasons, several countries that could have controlled the situation could not help but feel stretched. All the military regions of country Z have sent people there, inevitably using a large number of guns and ammunition, and even shelling, to stop this wave of zombies from entering the country.As for whether it will cause the virus to spread in the future, we can only resign ourselves to fate.
City B transferred a group of soldiers, which slowed down the siege of zombies in the city. Fortunately, another large area was cleaned up.It turns out that the residents in that district have all gone back to live and live, and the government has set up several management offices that can distribute supplies.
Private stores and supermarkets can also open, but in the current situation across the country, these stores don't know where to pick up new products.There are stocks and warehouses in the store, but the government does not allow price increases. Even if they are rare goods, they cannot sell them at high prices.
These shops are open and closed, but they don't sell much food, and if they do, they only sell those with a short shelf life.And more is to sell non-essential items such as tobacco and alcohol in inventory, daily necessities.Who knows when this world will return to normal, and the only way to feel at ease is to keep the food in your hands.
So Lu Cheng went out for a walk, and he could basically buy everything except food, daily necessities, books, clothes, shoes, socks, and toys, and it was still at the original price.The food prepared by his family is sufficient, and he has planted a garden of vegetables.Life is pretty good.
In fact, since Zhou Yuanyuan opened up the space, their family stopped buying vegetables in summer and autumn, and only ate what they grew at home.Now the news is always broadcasting, this dish contains hormones, and how many pesticides are used in that dish.In short, food safety is very worrying. Every time I buy vegetables, I have to soak them in water for a long time.
Don't worry about the vegetables you grow yourself, the chicken and eggs raised by yourself are even more delicious.If it weren't for the fact that no one in their family knew how to butcher pigs, it would be a big problem for them. Mother Lu would still want to raise pigs to eat pork.
In order not to attract attention, Lu Cheng has to go out every day to find out if there is any news, find something to do, earn some points, and then change some seeds and fertilizers.
In exchange for these things, there are quite a lot of people who go home and grow vegetables in flower pots.If you plant too much, you can’t eat it all at home. You can also go to the supply point to exchange for points, and you can earn a little bit.
The two houses of Lu Cheng's family are quite spacious, and the two elderly people and their children stay in the space most of the time.That is to say, when Lu Cheng went out every day, Zhou Yuanyuan stayed at home to watch the news or go online to see if there was any new news in case of accidents or when someone came to the door.
They also set up several planting shelves at home, and planted the vegetable seeds exchanged from the supply point.Vegetables grow fast, and their family couldn't finish eating them. Lu Chengcheng carried them in a basket to the supply point to exchange for points, and then exchanged for seeds.Later, Lu Cheng didn't do anything else, just growing vegetables in the room, and the points exchanged were enough to feed their family.In addition to exchanging pork, Lu Cheng also exchanged some standing medicines.
The living conditions in the base are not good, and there are many sick elderly and children. Fortunately, the base has special care policies for the elderly and minors.The only hospitals that are still open are those in the two districts that have been cleaned.The hospital was already overcrowded.
Lu's family has two doctors, Lu's father and Lu's mother, so as long as there are medicines for general minor illnesses, there will be no problem.
Because I was worried that the children would talk about the space outside, so the children came in and out of the space while they were asleep.The children still think that space is their hometown in the countryside.
The children can't just play around all the time, Lu's father and Lu's mother have already started teaching them elementary school courses.The class schedule is also arranged in a similar way, a class is 45 minutes, and there are homework after class.The sloppy Lu Zhou and Lu Yi also began to have a sense of time, and gradually developed a study habit.It's just that living in a place without outsiders and having no social life is not good for children after all.I just don't know when this world will completely settle down.
When will the vaccine be developed?Lu Cheng thought about it, even if the second-generation zombies in city B were wiped out, he wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't know whether his parents, children, himself and Zhou Yuanyuan were immune to the second-generation virus .
After all, the virus already exists, and it is everywhere in the world. Even if the zombies are gone, the virus samples must still exist in various research institutes, and it is impossible to clean up some corners where flesh and blood are left.Who knows when and where it was infected?
Lu Cheng always felt that if the virus vaccine could not be developed, everyone in the world might be forced to accept the second-generation virus test in the end, and the people left in the world might be immune to the second-generation virus.
This might as well be like a first-generation virus that instantly infects all human beings, and those who are immune don't have to worry about it anymore.Those who are not immune have no pain perception.
When will this protracted war last?
So Lu Cheng didn't want Lu's parents and their children to leave the space. As for Zhou Yuanyuan, as the darling of heaven, Lu Cheng felt that she could probably be immune to the second-generation virus.
Lu Cheng often used the optical brain to inquire about the research on the second-generation virus vaccine, and wanted to grasp this key information in time.Of course, I am also afraid that some people will have selfish intentions, such as the dispute between the East and the West, and will not announce it after the research is done.
Lu Cheng has already made a decision. Once someone develops a virus vaccine, he will use his optical brain to spread the information all over the world.In this case, it is not a matter of intellectual property rights, but that hundreds of millions of lives cannot be lost for nothing due to political and other reasons.
More than a year later, the second-generation zombies in City B were wiped out.
Although everyone was worried, they were still a little trembling.But as long as he was alive, he had to support his family, so he returned to his normal life.
Units such as schools and hospitals are returning to work and school normally, and the lack of teachers and doctors can only make those who are still working harder.Under such circumstances, Lu's father and Lu's mother were also invited back by the city hospital.In this case, Lu's father and Lu's mother are also willing to make some contributions to society.
Lu Zhou and Lu Yi also went to elementary school. Although they were worried, Lu Cheng knew that they could not be kept at home forever. Could it be that if the vaccine could not be developed, they should be separated from society?
Many companies have collapsed in this global crisis, so many people have lost their jobs.Fortunately, the government directly established many state-owned enterprises specializing in the production of daily necessities, both to be self-sufficient and to create new jobs for the unemployed to stabilize the society.Even Zhou Yuanyuan lost her job. Fortunately, she used to lead the government's projects in the company. Someone in the government knew her ability and needed an experienced professional like her who is proficient in construction. She directly found a new job in the government department. Turned around and became a civil servant.
Lu Cheng checked on the Internet, and there really aren't many places as stable as Country Z.Even the news often reports various chaotic situations in those foreign countries.
The current life is not as comfortable and happy as the past, but it is more than the ups and downs. Looking at the messy things in other places, the citizens feel that the current life is not bad.
Even Lu Cheng had this idea.If he encounters the kind of environment where he occupies the mountain as king, gun battles everywhere, and rapes and plunders, he feels that even if Zhou Yuanyuan has space, it will be difficult for him to bring his family to survive.
Two years later, a research institute produced a second-generation virus vaccine.Lu Cheng observed for a period of time and confirmed that the vaccine was fine, and they all planned to produce it secretly, and sold the vaccine to some kind of super pharmaceutical company, planning to produce it and sell it to the world at a high price.
Lu Cheng respected his personal research results very much.But this is not a cola formula, it has nothing to do with life or death.It is not a vaccine for AIDS, after all, it is aimed at a small number of patients.
This is a major event that affects the lives of half of the world's people.
Lu Cheng used his optical brain to spread the recipe all over the world.Wherever there is a computer, there will be a method for making a second-generation virus vaccine.Of course, the real inventor of the vaccine is marked.For this he deserves the gratitude of the world, and possibly a Nobel Prize.
This incident caused an uproar all over the world. Lu Cheng deeply hid his achievements and fame, and no one would guess that he, a construction professional, would be a super hacker.
The vaccine was quickly verified by the government, and all the people in Country Z were vaccinated. Finally, everyone can rest assured and live with peace of mind.
Lu Cheng is also relieved that his family will no longer live in danger.
