If they all agreed, things would be easier to handle. Zhou Ji quickly cut through the mess and led everyone to the tea shop on Dumen Street. He divided his troops into two groups and asked them to clear the snow first. He and Yu Yao climbed up from the second floor of the clothing store. When I got home, I removed the fixed rod and pulled up the rolling shutter door, gathered the remaining supplies, and transported them all to the underground garage of Xichen Building.
So much rice, flour, firewood, so many salty and cured hams, and a cast-iron fireplace with a roaring fire and warmth like spring, all of which amazed everyone. "Sima" and "Zongzi" worked very hard. They tied a few simple sleds with wooden planks, filled them with supplies and dragged them on the ice and snow, which was convenient and labor-saving. They had a great time transporting them to Xichen Building one by one. Song Qi saw this and couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart, but he still asked Yue Zhilan and Shi Bi to help together and did not stand idly by.
With almost everything moved, the group of people set off on their way home and returned to the underground shelter of Xichen Building before dark. Xichen Building and Wal-Mart Supermarket share an underground parking lot. The first and second floors cover a large area. The third floor is in a corner, with an area only half of the upper two floors. There is a ramp for vehicles to enter and exit, and two corridor exits. The car owner parked his car and walked along the corridor to the second underground floor. There is an elevator directly to the Xichen Building or Wal-Mart Supermarket. It is very inconvenient, so the parking lot on the third underground floor is empty, and there is basically no parking unless it is rush hour.
Xunye had all-in-one considerations. He moved the vehicles on the first and second floors and divided the three underground floors into three areas of different sizes. The area near the corridor exit was used to store supermarket supplies. Fu and Xiao Deng were responsible for counting the items and placing them neatly in categories. They implemented a strict rationing system and had dedicated personnel patrolling in shifts day and night to prevent theft.
Opposite the supplies area is a public shelter, separated by an isolation belt of nearly ten meters. Students from the work-study program at Surabaya University, staff from Xichen Building, and customers from the supermarket are all hiding in a small area. There is no privacy at all. Xun Ye put the open shelves of the supermarket together and tied them up and down with ropes and wires. It was a bit like bunk beds in a university dormitory. Many people can be squeezed in with bedding on them. It will be warm when there are many people. Even without heating equipment, they will not get cold. . In special circumstances, when the elderly, weak, women and children really can't bear the cold, he will send someone to check, and if necessary, send a small bucket of gasoline, add it to the car's fuel tank, start the engine and turn on the air conditioner for heating.
Saving what can be saved and giving up what cannot be saved, Xun Ye’s iron-fisted methods are fully revealed at this moment. Although Song Qi is not without slander, he also knows in his heart that the materials should be left to the survivors instead of wasted. Although cruel, this is a wise decision for those who are mortal.
In order to avoid intensifying conflicts, Xun Ye set up a special area in the corner of the parking lot for his people to live and rest. They eat more, occupy more, and are strong, so they must strictly implement Xun Ye's regulations. Using violence and cold blood to maintain a deformed order objectively allows more people to survive. But these alone were not enough. Trapped underground with no hope in sight, the tense emotions needed to be vented. Xun Ye made an opening and allowed them to save their share and seduce the woman opposite.Women trade their bodies for food.
This kind of thing actually doesn’t happen often. Although they receive preferential treatment and can eat more, the portion they get is extremely limited, which is only enough to eat them 70-80% full. It's too cold, and no one will go hungry again and again to satisfy the desire to reproduce. Doing this will inevitably cause dissatisfaction on the other side, so Xunye opened a second window. As long as you are strong, willing to bow your head and be a pawn, obey his words and work hard for him, you can also become one of them, enjoy preferential treatment without discrimination, and then collapse Overcame hostility and resistance and stabilized the situation.
It is better to block than to sparse, and to go too far is not enough. The key here lies in a "degree".
Zhou Ji did not stay in the parking lot on the third underground floor. Before the snowstorm came, he found a small sheltered room on the fourth floor of Xichen Building, set up a fireplace and tent, and blocked it with felts. The ventilation gap is filled with firewood and other daily necessities against the wall, creating a small "comfort nest". As for the rice, flour, salty goods, dry food and drinks he brought, he generously divided them into three, giving one to Xun Ye, one to Song Qi, and keeping one for himself, but it was not absolutely even. Song Qi's share was filled with rice, flour and dry food Most of the time, Xunye's portion consisted mostly of salty food and drinks. Both sides had unexpected surprises, which was not without some small supplements.
That night became a festival because of Zhou Ji's arrival, and the people in the shelter were given extra rations. They were moved to tears. Xunye's men drank raw ham and were so happy that it was indescribable , the grievances and conflicts between the two parties were somewhat alleviated in this shared carnival, which made a good start for the subsequent changes.
Zhou Ji did not issue drastic orders. He only made one suggestion: taking advantage of the snowstorm, he continued to organize people to search for supplies, focusing on food, alcohol, fuel, medicine, and clothing. Every batch of people had them. People on both sides supervise each other and are not allowed to hide anything secretly. Neither Xun Ye nor Song Qi had any objections. In fact, when Zhou Ji asserted that "there will be a final snowstorm in a few days, covering a wider area, being more severe than ever before, and lasting longer, and only a few people can survive", They have made a tacit understanding and are determined to make compromises, eliminate internal friction as much as possible, and survive this unprecedented natural disaster together.
The calm before the blizzard lasted for seven days. Just when everyone was doubtful, thinking that Zhou Ji's prediction was just a "crow's mouth", the lead cloud rolled in again, getting lower and lower, and the cold wind howled through Surabaya. In the city, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and blizzards fell from the sky, completely burying everything. The underground parking lot of Xichen Building fell into darkness. In order to save oxygen, Xun Ye prohibited lighting candles. The only light came from a hand-cranked emergency light. Song Qi stepped forward and took the initiative to assume his responsibilities. With the support of his classmates at the University of Surabaya, the public shelters were much quieter, and the distribution of food and drinking water was in order. This was a good change. Xun Ye saw it and asked him privately. Zhou Ji suggested that Song Qi's authority should be consolidated and the enthusiasm of those energetic college students be fully mobilized.
ScriptureAfter these days of watching with cold eyes, Zhou Ji saw the brilliance of Xun Ye's skills. He did not change everything that was already established. He continued to implement the rationing system, continued to treat the "management" preferentially, and did not even object to "exchanging his body for Food”, do not block the “ascending channel”. If there has been a change, the only change is that the Xunye family has changed from being the dominant one, with one person giving orders, to a three-person collaboration, with the minority obeying the majority. Regarding Xun Ye's proposal, he followed the trend and agreed that Song Qi would become the speaker of the public shelter. For this reason, Xun Ye also allocated an additional batch of rations. As for how to deal with Song Qi, should it be for his small team to eat and occupy more, or should he give it to his small team? Equally divided
The triangle is a stable structure. Zhou Ji has no intention of being arbitrary. When Xun Ye and Song Qi disagree, he stands on the side and whose suggestions are implemented. This is good, it saves worry and effort. It is not his style to do everything by hand. Zhou Ji has a long-term vision and does not care about the one-third of an acre of land in front of him.
