I went to the window and took another look, but no one came back.

This blizzard is overwhelming... So what should we do? Let's just endure the pain for a while. If we go to the official base, the situation should be much better, and we will suffer less in the future.

In fact, if we only talk about supplies, the ones officially distributed are enough for food and drink, but I don’t know how long the supply packages will last. The main reason is that the weather is cold and there is no electricity.

Although I don’t know if I still have the supply package after going to the base, but at least it will be warmer in the base, right?

That was an official evacuation base, so measures to keep warm must have been taken, right?

She had already guessed that the official had a golden finger, and also knew that the official base had started preparations very early. She could naturally deduce that there would be heating facilities, including coal-fired power generation.

But people who don’t know should make guesses with expectations, and officials will definitely convey this fact to let people go with peace of mind.

She stayed in bed with her cell phone and read novels until two o'clock in the afternoon when she was going to exercise.

The surveillance camera was still quiet. When she went to the window to take a look, no one came back. At this moment, she probably had an idea——

How long has it been since then? It's been four hours since the stipulated ten o'clock.

When it is impossible for everyone to get in the car and leave, no one has returned yet. What does this mean?

It indicates that there should indeed be a car to pick up and drop off.

If the bus only made one trip, and it had been four hours by now, no matter how chaotic it was, the people who would get on the bus would have been arranged. Then the only bus left, and the remaining people would have returned.

But no one came back, which meant that everyone was still waiting for the bus to come back to pick up the next wave of people.

It was already time to exercise, and she didn't want to be delayed just to watch the surveillance, so she simply ignored it and went to the living room to complete the warm-up session and weapon exercises.

In the meantime, you could go to the balcony to check out the situation. As a result, when you took some time to look around in the middle of several sessions, you encountered people starting to come back one after another.

She was not in a hurry to look at the surveillance camera. She used an electric baton to hit the human-shaped sandbag while trying to figure out what was going on.

Have several trains been arranged in advance, so the rest can go back? Or has the last train departed, and the remaining people can come back.

But there's not much difference. At most, if it's the former, it means there's still the possibility of squeezing in a few more, and maybe someone will stay and try to pick up the leaks.

She warmed up her body honestly in the living room, and was able to swing and stab the electric baton without stiffness. After practicing hard, she returned to the bedroom, planning to complete the entire exercise session before watching the monitor.

After sweating and taking a shower, she gnawed on a creamy yogurt popsicle and started flipping through the monitors comfortably.

The first person to come back was the last one to go out. He was light without any luggage, and still had his hands in his pockets. The plastic bag containing supplies hung on his arm, and it had slipped down and got stuck in his hand pockets.

As she walked, she jumped and jumped, and she could see through the surveillance camera that it was covered with snowflakes.

There is only one bag, but the size is much larger. It is indeed a month's supply. It seems that there are quite a lot of things in the bag and it is quite bulging.

She estimated that food, drink and warm patches would be the three essential items.

Although this person came back the earliest, she looked at the time and saw that it was not that much earlier. It should have been the same time period when she saw someone coming back from the balcony when she was exercising in the living room.

And not long after this person, the neighbors came back one after another, dragging suitcases and covering themselves with snow, looking very embarrassed.

Tadashi also explained that this person came back with the other people she planned to leave for the base, but who were not selected today.

This is a bit strange. Since this person did not bring any luggage, it means that he has no intention of going to the evacuation base today and only went out to collect the supply package.

Then why are you back so late? With others? Shouldn't I just collect it on the spot and come back directly?

She thought about it for a moment, and if the queue was uniformly announced to be disbanded, then people with luggage would definitely have a harder time walking than without luggage. It is normal to go slower.

In this comparison, it seems that it is indeed a wave back.

Why is this? Is it required by the authorities? Even after receiving the supplies, they can't go back first and have to wait together?

This makes no sense, why? She didn't think the government was like this, letting people freeze in the ice and snow for nothing.

That means the supply package was distributed very late? After all the people who get on the bus are queued up, they are distributed uniformly, so those who don't want to go have to wait until the end?

This... doesn't make sense, does it? Even if it is to make management more convenient, there may be a better way, such as queuing up on two sides for those who are going and those who are not going.

This most basic management method is beyond the control of the authorities.

She estimated that today was the first day, and since it was a first-come-first-served basis, there should be enough people sent by the authorities to maintain order, at least capable of managing crowds that might riot.

It is still possible to manage two teams, monitor whether anyone is trying to get more supplies, and whether anyone is causing trouble.

After ruling out several conjectures, she felt that maybe that person decided to stay until the end and come back?

For example, this person actually wants to go to the base, and now the first day is to go there and see what the process is like, so that he knows what he is doing.

Once you go there, you will know what kind of vehicles are used to transport people, how many there are, how many round trips there are, and how many people can be taken away in a day.

In this way, you can estimate by yourself that there are almost no more people waiting to leave, and then go to queue up to improve the efficiency of getting on the bus. You also don't have to drag your luggage every day, feel tired and cold, and may have to return the same way.

She dragged the progress bar of the monitoring and looked at the residents who came back from behind. They all looked really... pitiful.

Think about it, if you are walking carefully on the ice, you may fall down, and you have to drag your suitcase and carry your bag, freezing in the cold wind for four, five, six hours.

Those who were selected to get on the bus were lucky, and they were able to survive and move towards a better life. Those who were not selected had to drag, carry, carry, and add another load of snow to stagger back.

Thinking again, there is no way out now. Everyone has to climb out of the window when they leave the building, which adds to the fatigue.

The more I thought about it, the more I sighed, but then I thought about it, now is the end of the world, and with official help and protection, suffering such a crime seems to be a trivial matter.

My thoughts drifted back to a time that seemed a long time ago, when news of death kept coming out in hot weather, but after the Internet was disconnected, I could no longer receive such news.

——Can’t receive any messages.

But who said that only hot weather can kill people? She didn't know how many more deaths had occurred in places she didn't know about.

Heat stroke and heat can cause underlying diseases, drowning, freezing, and illness... Or, in places beyond the reach of official rescue efforts, are there people dying of hunger or thirst?

This was even a "natural" way to die, as well as death caused by fighting between humans... Her thoughts couldn't help but wander for a moment, returning to the time when she was called to the door.

How many times has this happened around the world? How many people survived like her?

It’s really... I can’t think about it in detail, and I don’t dare to think about it in detail.
