Infinite Disaster Survival
Chapter 175 Chapter 175 (1/2)
Wen Zheng was matching the faces of these people with the people in his mind. One of them was the manager of the supermarket warehouse. The faces of the remaining few people were a little unfamiliar, but a closer look showed that they were more or less similar to his employees. They brought their relatives to steal things.
Facing the police's questioning, these people were somewhat uncomfortable. The first one to calm down was the supervisor of this staff member, who took the initiative to explain to the police: "Our boss is afraid of encountering thieves at night. After all, this is the situation now... So we moved the things to another warehouse for storage."
"Did your boss ask you to do it?" the police asked again.
"Yes."
"Yes, yes, it was our boss who notified us."
"He called us."
The rest of them recovered and hurriedly added in a flurry, anxious to let the police leave.
"I don't know when I told you?" Wen Zheng opened the car door and walked out of the car. The people in front of him were terrified when they saw Wen Zheng, and some even wanted to run away.
But the police here would not let them slip away in front of them. They were caught before they ran far, which was a confession. Looking at the guns on the police's waists, this group of people would not dare to do anything even if there were many of them.
The handcuffs they carried with them were not enough, so they called their colleagues on duty at the intersection to send someone to support them. Wen Zheng asked Tuan Tuan to stay in the car, and he went into the warehouse and walked around twice and looked inside the cars parked at the door.
The warehouse was more than half empty. Even if some of the supermarket shelves were replenished, it should not be so empty, and the things taken away from the vehicles were not enough.
Wen Zheng estimated that this group of people had already transported a batch of goods, and after finding that he had not returned, they were still greedy and wanted to transport more. They wanted to take risks to steal things, and the final result would only be to deliver themselves to the hands of the police.
The calmest Lao Wang still wanted to quibble that he received the news from Wen Zheng, but the other party was fake and he was also deceived. But this explanation was not convincing, especially since several people's mobile phones had not completely deleted consumption records, and the accomplices who were called to steal things planned to hoard the goods and sell them at a high price later.
This was glaring evidence.
Seeing that there was no way to explain it, several people with weaker psychological defenses confessed on the spot that the mastermind of this matter was really Lao Wang, who was mainly responsible for managing the warehouse.
From the memory of the original body, Wen Zheng really couldn't see that Lao Wang would be so bold, and now he doubted whether the remaining supermarkets would encounter the same problem.
"Officer Zhang, Officer Song, thanks to you for sending us back this time, otherwise even if we found something wrong, we would not be their opponents. There is another batch of things in the warehouse that they have transported away, and we still need your help to find them back. When we find them, I will donate all of them to the police station. I will donate half of the things in the other warehouses, and I still need your help to check them."
"Isn't this a small amount?" The two policemen who drove them back were shocked.
"I'm sure things will get chaotic next, and I can't protect these things. I'll donate half, keep the remaining half for myself, and give the rest to the neighbors around me. If it weren't for them taking care of the business, I wouldn't have made it this far.
After confirming that Wen Zheng really wanted to donate, the two policemen reported the situation to their superiors, and their favorable impression of Wen Zheng and his son increased even more.
Several supermarkets run by Wen Zheng were raided at this time. There were employees who took the opportunity to cause trouble, and there were thieves who stole. Both of them were caught by the police.
The supporting police drove over , the sound of the police sirens that were not turned off attracted a lot of attention. Most people were in a hurry to buy and just glanced and walked away. The news of the volcanic eruption came, and there were accidents in too many places. Police cars could be seen everywhere, which was no longer strange to them.
Wen Zheng and Tuan Tuan got out of the car, and the few people who were caught got into the police car and sat in those seats. But they had silver handcuffs on their hands, and they would be escorted to the police station as prisoners.
The store manager in charge of all aspects of the supermarket ran to the back after receiving Wen Zheng's call. After listening to the situation, his face immediately became ugly. As a store manager, even if he did not participate in this matter, Failure to find out in time was also a sign of lax management.
Wen Zheng informed him of the donation and notified the managers of several other supermarkets. After a long struggle, he took Tuan Tuan into the warehouse to move some food and daily necessities. He put some of them into the space when no one was paying attention, and then went back to rest.
With the police helping to watch, it was difficult for thieves to visit the remaining things.
Taking the elevator to the sixth floor where they lived, Wen Zheng returned home and opened his phone, which he had ignored because the message was about to explode. According to the memory of his original body, he informed several friends and neighbors who had a good relationship with him that he had returned.
The next second, a phone call came in. Wen Zheng exchanged a few more pleasantries. After Wen Zheng said that he was tired and wanted to rest early, the other party hesitated and hoped to buy more things from Wen Zheng Supermarket, and then complained about how difficult it was to buy things. Wen Zheng hung up the phone immediately.
As soon as this one was hung up, another one rang. Tuan Tuan, who was tidying up the room, ran out and opened the door. He saw the neighbors who lived next door.
The neighbors next door were a couple in their teens. They had a daughter who was the same age as Tuan Tuan. The two were classmates, so the original body would often communicate with them about the child's situation and gradually became good friends.
After seeing Tuantuan open the door, Wen Zheng's voice, who was answering the phone, came from inside. The couple breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great that you can come back safely, Xiaoling, thanks to your dad for sending us a message about the volcano When the incident broke out, my family just stocked up on some supplies in advance.”
The woman handed over the thermos bucket in her hand: "We estimated that you wouldn't be able to eat much when you come back, so we stewed some soup in advance. We didn't serve it until we knew you were coming back. You guys should eat it while it's hot."
Wen Zheng hung up the call from another person who was concerned about the supermarket, put his cell phone on silent, stopped facing the call, and went out to face the couple. At least face to face, the couple looked concerned. Wen Zheng took the thermos bucket and thanked them.
"My Miaomiao is still worried about Xiaoling, but it's too late and she fell asleep first." The couple both smiled, and then began to say goodbye to Wen Zheng, "You guys just came back after a long journey, so hurry up and finish your meal and rest. If you need help, please call us immediately. We both took two days off at home.”
The door was closed again, and Wen Zheng put the thermos bucket on the dining table and opened it. Rice was placed on top and simmered chicken soup was placed below. The hot meals were obviously better than those they brought back, so the two of them stopped cooking and finished all the meals.
"After drinking the chicken soup they brought me, don't be impatient when the little girl next door comes to play with you tomorrow." Wen Zheng drank half a bowl of soup and said with a smile.
"I know, Dad, I just want to coax the kid to play." Tuantuan continued to eat with his head buried in it.
Wen Zheng couldn't help but smile again, and Tuantuan was dangling his feet while sitting on a high stool. He said that the girl who was actually taller than Tuantuan in his memory was a child, which made Tuantuan look even cuter.
Wen Zheng went to the bathroom to wash away his fatigue. After he sent the message that he wanted to rest, there were several more calls, but they stopped when no one answered.
Rooms that have not been occupied for a while will inevitably become dusty, so Wen Zheng and Tuantuan cleaned a bedroom. They simply stayed in the same room and bought two bottles of body enhancer from the system store. They drank it first, and then fell into sleep.
Wen Zheng put his cell phone on silent before going to bed. When he woke up the next day, he turned on his cell phone and looked at a series of missed calls. There were no important phone calls inside, so Wen Zheng didn't go back. He packed up and took Tuantuan out. He first bought a new mobile phone card and then bought a mobile phone for Tuantuan before continuing to go out for shopping.
Compared with the deserted mobile phone stores, there are long queues in front of each supermarket. Many stores have temporarily raised prices. Even if the government wants to control it, it is difficult to control it. After all, it is not a disaster that can be solved in a year or two. .
According to the speculations of experts in this morning's news, it may be that even if it takes ten or eight years, the subsequent effects of the Leland volcano eruption will not completely disappear.
The entire planet will undergo dramatic changes.
Forty-eight hours after the Leland volcano erupted, only thick volcanic ash floating in the sky could be seen in the pictures transmitted by the satellite, and the current situation of the Lika country could not be seen at all. The United Nations officially declared the destruction of the Lika country.
Half a year ago, no one would have dared to imagine that this country had less than half a year left, let alone that they would perish in this way.
Next, Country A and Country B, which are not far from Lika, are small countries on the sea. They sank in the sea after facing earthquakes and tsunamis caused by volcanic explosions. They were also declared dead by the United Nations. The citizens of these two countries who escaped From then on, he lost his country and became a person without identity.
However, half a month after the Leland volcano erupted, the Vice President of Lika suddenly made a statement on the Internet. Even though most of the land of Lika was destroyed, Lika was not destroyed yet. They were in the chaotic tropics. There is still a piece of territory in the region, and new countries will be built here, and all stateless people are welcome to join their team.
All the problems that arose in the country of Lika after the Leland volcano erupted were blamed on the original president and some officials who were never heard from again. The original vice president became the new president and made remarks that shocked the world.
Some people can't help but suspect that Lika already knew that Leland Volcano was about to erupt. After all, they had previously claimed that someone was always watching. The volcanic eruption cannot be prevented, and the destruction of Lika is a foreseeable problem.
Therefore, Lika's government did not want to lose its current international status, so it concealed the news and did not leak it. At the same time, it sent people to find new lands after the Leland volcano erupted and began preparations. It also allowed other countries to face the sudden eruption of the volcano. And unprepared.
New Lika resolutely opposed such conspiracy theories and presented evidence of the rapid eruption of the Leland volcano, but no one believed it because it could be faked. The international condemnation of the Lika Country has reached its peak, but because everyone is busy resisting the coming disaster, in fact, nothing can be done. Some people who are desperate for the country choose to seek refuge in the New Lika Country.
In fact, most of the people who strongly condemned it on the Internet were ordinary people. Each country was more concerned about the situation in its own country. In the face of Lika's actions, at least before learning that their country was about to be destroyed by the volcano, they did not hold on to the idea of the whole world perishing together. The idea of launching a nuclear attack still retains at least a sliver of humanity.
The Xia government completely forgot about the international disputes. For a whole month, all government departments were working continuously, with almost no time to rest, before they managed to temporarily maintain domestic order to a stable stage. .
Wen Zheng could also see the changes in the surroundings during this period. The first half month after returning was getting more and more chaotic. You might encounter robbery when walking on the road. Later, the government vigorously controlled and used severe laws in troubled times. Anyone who was determined to have committed intentional homicide was sentenced to death, and the most serious criminals with conclusive evidence of causing the death and serious injuries of more than a dozen people were found and tried and executed as quickly as possible.
Although such actions led to some discussion among the people, the effect was obvious, and social order was gradually maintained.
The market was taken over by the state.
After learning that there would be a disaster that would last for many years, countless merchants holding goods began to take the opportunity to make a profit. At the beginning, the price was set several times or dozens of times higher than before. The government was too busy to manage these profiteers who took advantage of the disaster to make money. Later, people found that after the currency gradually lost its effectiveness, they no longer collected money, but collected valuable equivalents, especially gold.
Faced with these high prices, the people in the upper echelons began to calm down and look at the money they spent before thinking about whether it was worth it.
The government, which finally had time to spare, took direct action to control the market. Those who dared to resist the government would sell goods at sky-high prices for profit in the past period of time. Once they were checked, they would not be able to escape the punishment they deserved.
All commodity circulation is under government control. According to the population, each person sells a limited amount of materials every day. For the time being, they will be paid with Xiaguo currency. A new universal currency may be issued in the future, but there is no time to study it now.
After all the chaos was temporarily controlled, all official channels for releasing news reminded everyone to start dealing with the impending disaster. Food, water and soil must be stored in advance, and all people should grow vegetables and fruits indoors.
Not only can they be used for their own consumption, but they can also be sold to the government. The government will carry out unified dehydration and air drying to store as many plants as possible.
Wen Zheng had already donated half of the supermarket inventory to the government, but he first placed a lot of water, clothing, and various necessities of life in his portable space.
The scale of the five supermarkets is not small. Each supermarket only collected a part of it, and filled up more than half of Wen Zheng's portable space. There were too many people rushing to buy supplies during those days, and there were also thefts and employees buying on their own. Some of the numbers didn't match, but no one would pursue it.
When the government came to take away half of the goods, it was when the nearby merchants were collectively raising prices. Wen Zheng found the old customers who had registered in the supermarket a long time ago and had been shopping all the time, and directly sent text messages to notify the time, and sold one-tenth of the remaining inventory to them at a normal price.
Such a move made many people around him call Wen Zheng stupid, but more old customers who were taken care of were willing to protect Wen Zheng. In addition, Wen Zheng's business was developed little by little with their own eyes, and they felt closer to Wen Zheng in their hearts.
However, the customers who were not notified to come to buy and the colleagues who sold at high prices all disliked Wen Zheng, especially the latter, and even found someone to cause trouble for Wen Zheng privately, but as the key care object of the police, these small actions were often sent to the police station at the beginning.
Later, no one dared to move.
Wen Zheng looked at the remaining two-thirds of the goods, counted the number of employees working honestly in the supermarket, and gave them a portion as a welfare, kept a portion for himself, and sold the rest to everyone at a normal price. Even though the quantity is relatively small, Wen Zheng did not raise the price, so those who benefited from it illegally said bad things about him.
Some people also asked Wen Zheng why he wanted to do this. Even if he raised the price five times, he would be considered conscientious, and people around him would still praise him.
Wen Zheng shook his head: "In the face of such a disaster, how much use can money have? I believe that the country will not let the people use money to buy the possibility of survival." At least in every disaster world he experienced, even if there were rotten parts, but in general, the country he belonged to would never give up ordinary people easily.
It's just that many people laughed at Wen Zheng's naivety after hearing his remarks. At least with money, they can prepare more things to make themselves live better and live comfortably.
Wen Zheng no longer refuted these statements, and took Tuantuan to prepare on his own.
There were not many fresh ingredients in the supermarket warehouse, so Wen Zheng found the connections he had when he opened the supermarket, and used the money and some supplies in his hand to exchange for fresh meat, fruits and vegetables, and filled up the remaining space with a lot of them.
The people Wen Zheng found raised the price of the goods to some extent, but someone heard about Wen Zheng's decision during this period and sold it to Wen Zheng at a normal price. Wen Zheng remembered this friend.
After the supplies were stored, several supermarkets became empty. The houses used by these supermarkets, the one close to the residential area, was bought by Wen Zheng after he had money, and the rest were rented for years, and now there are two years left.
So even if the landlord wanted to take it back, it was impossible. Wen Zheng used the supplies to hire someone to renovate the house. As a result, the old customers who had sold it at a low price before came to help for free, and did not ask for anything. The shelves for selling goods were renovated, the soil that the government stipulated that could be excavated in the wild was transported, and more lights were installed in the house, and all the supermarkets were transformed into plantations.
The fastest growing seeds were sprinkled on the soil, and water was stored in supermarkets as much as possible. When the seeds sprouted and grew two leaves, the country issued an emergency notice.
The acid rain caused by the volcanic eruption was about to fall on the territory of Xia.
