Lin Zhao was very helpless now. His family had run out of food again.
"Honey, is there anything left to eat?"
Looking at his wife's expectant eyes, he could only shake his head: "What I brought back last time was the full portion. It will be gone after eating."
"You are serious. If you hadn't taken the lead, how could they have gotten that food? You should have gotten more. Who else would dare to have an opinion?"
The wife kept complaining.
In fact, Lin Zhao also had some regrets in his heart. Just as his wife said, it was because he took the lead that those people could get the food.
Shouldn't he take more?
It's just that everything is over now, and it's too late to say anything.
He can't go to those people's homes and snatch food away, right?
"I'm going to think of a way to get some food back."
Lin Zhao wore thick clothes and walked out of the house.
When he came outside, he immediately realized that he had nowhere to go.
All the compressed biscuits from Cao Fengjiao's house were taken out, so she probably didn't even have much food at home.
What about other people’s homes?
In his mind, he recalled the photos he had seen in the group before. The man named Qin Bai seemed to have bought a lot of food at the beginning, and he might have some left over.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhao tightened his clothes and walked towards Qin Bai's house.
After a while, he arrived at the door of Qin Bai's house.
Boom!
He knocked on the door and shouted, "Is Qin Bai at home?"
When Qin Bai heard it, he felt that the voice was strange.
"Which one?"
"My name is Lin Zhao. I live in the building next door. I came here this time to buy some food from you."
Lin Zhao's attitude was very polite.
In the building next door?
Qin Bai said directly: "Sorry, the food is not for sale."
Lin Zhao was not surprised when he heard Qin Bai's refusal. After all, everyone can see the importance of food now.
"Then excuse me."
Lin Zhao did not continue to pester, but decisively left here.
Qin Bai was a little surprised. He thought that the other party would say harsh words to him like the last time.
Afterwards, he saw from the window that a figure walked out of their building and then walked towards the outside of the community.
The road that was originally opened by the community has been covered with snow, making it quite difficult to walk.
What's more, he wants to go outside the community, which is naturally more difficult.
Qin Bai saw his intention. He wanted to go to the store outside the community and take things back.
If this was done at the beginning, no one would be willing to do it. National laws are not a decoration.
But at this point, we are at the end of our rope. If we don’t do this, we will really starve to death at home.
Which one is more important, anyone who is not a fool will know clearly.
It's just that for this kind of thing, someone needs to take the lead, and now Lin Zhao is taking the lead.
He walked with great difficulty in the snow until he reached the end of the passage, and then he had to carve a way out on his own.
But it takes so many people in the community to open a way out. How far can he do it alone?
An hour later, looking at the distance less than half a meter in front of him, Lin Zhao fell silent.
He wanted to rely on himself to open a road to the outside, but that was a dream.
The physical exertion and the low temperature outside are a kind of torture.
Lin Zhao wanted to give up, but thinking of so many people at home, he could only grit his teeth and climb directly onto the snow.
However, the snow could not bear the weight of a person, and he immediately fell in. Fortunately, he was only on the edge and quickly climbed out on his own.
If it sank near the middle, he might be suffocated inside.
When Qin Bai saw Lin Zhao going back in disgrace, there was no sadness or joy on his face.
He had already seen such a scene in his previous life.
It's just that one person can't do such a thing, but a group of people can still do it.
However, reality will give them a hard blow and let them know that this road is not that simple.
Sure enough, after Lin Zhao returned, he began to contact other people and work together to dig a road leading to the store.
This time he learned a lesson and stipulated that only those who contributed could get the food.
Those who do nothing have nothing!
Not only that, he also asked everyone to mark information such as how many people are in a household and how much food is needed.
Unexpectedly, his approach was approved by everyone.
No one hopes that if there is a gangster in the team, they will get the same food.
After making an appointment, they went down again and started working.
They thought the speed would be very fast, but unfortunately the real fight came.
First, the temperature now is completely different from before, and their physical strength and calories are consumed very quickly.
If a person works for less than half an hour, he needs to rest. Otherwise, his physical strength will be exhausted too quickly and he will have no energy.
The work that was originally planned to be completed in less than two days suddenly took twice as long!
At the same time, there is another very serious problem, and that is food.
Lin Zhao's family had no food, and other people's families had similar food. At most, they just had one more meal.
The physical work they do does not provide food security. It can be said that everyone behind them works hungry.
The time each person can work continues to decrease, and the efficiency also drops significantly.
If this continues, they will completely lose their strength if they don't wait for the store.
Facing everyone's gaze, Lin Zhao gritted his teeth.
"Everyone asks their families to boil hot water and use hot water to cope with hunger!"
It's not that they are unwilling to use hot water to melt the snow, it's just that this will cause more serious problems.
The snow was still dry and there wasn't much ice on the ground.
But once they use hot water to melt snow, when the hot water cools down, it will start to freeze.
When the time comes, it will be even more difficult for them to walk, which is equivalent to asking for trouble.
Next, all of them began to drink hot water to fight hunger, and drank water until they were full.
Fortunately for them, there is no problem with the gas pipeline for the time being. Otherwise, if there is no gas to heat water, they will not even have hot water.
Seeing that they seemed to be on the verge of success, new people joined in one after another.
It’s just that the food they can get is only one-fifth of what other people get!
There was no way, who asked them to join at the last moment, and all the final work was handed over to them.
With the efforts of so many people, they finally opened the road to the store.
Seeing the store in front of them, a group of people laughed happily.
Just as they were about to force their way in, a man stopped them.
"You can't go in!"
Lin Zhao frowned and asked, "Why?"
"Because this store is mine, if you go in to get anything, I will call the police!"
The man took out his cell phone and looked threatening to them.
