Chapter 24: Poor Resources

Later, Meng Wuwei followed Chen Nannan into the governor's office...

"Mr. Governor, this is the supply list of the shelter. Take a look..."

Taking the yellowed document from Meng Wuwei's hand, Chen Nannan came to the desk and placed the document in his hand on the desk in front of Li Meng...

Li Meng raised his head and glanced at Chen Nannan and Meng Wuwei. He picked up the documents on the desk and lowered his head to read...

There are three sheets in total. Each sheet is filled with a list of items, followed by a series of numerical values. The suffixes of the numerical values ​​include kilograms, boxes, bags, and bags...

As Li Meng looked at the document intently, the room suddenly became quiet.

After a while, Li Meng put down the document with a calm expression, looked up at Meng Wuwei, and said, "Just tell me, what do we need to do to keep the seven or eight hundred people in the shelter alive? Asylum What is the most lacking in the institute right now?”

Hearing this, Meng Wuwei lowered his head slightly and said: "The most lacking thing is food. If we eat two meals a day, the remaining supplies can probably last for more than ten days. The second thing is coal. If we don't find other burning materials, we will be able to survive in five days." , the sanctuary will lose its light and warmth..."

The fires in the shelter are very important. They can not only provide lighting, but also bring warmth to the shelter. They are a must-have for every household. If there is no coal, the people in the shelter will be gone within three days. There will be large-scale frostbite. In less than ten days, the shelter will be reduced by half of its population. In less than a month, the shelter will become a dead place.

Coal is not a good thing...

With a thoughtful look on his face, Li Meng began to think secretly.

In Li Meng's memory alone, there have been hundreds of deaths caused by coal poisoning. Although the ventilation conditions of the shelter are very good, the wind flows in from the logistics, crosses the shelter, and exits from the underground parking lot on the other side. The doors leading to the outside are open everywhere, ensuring logistics no matter what the situation is, and the doors to the underground parking lot are open.

But that's it. In order to obtain enough warmth in some personal residences, many people will block the room tightly, leaving only a little gap. Once the fire burns too brightly, the next day there will be only There would be corpses all over the place.

But Li Meng also knows that although coal is not a good thing and is too dangerous in a closed environment, coal is indispensable for today's shelters because coal is the only combustion source available to shelters. things.

After thinking for a while, Li Meng asked, "Do you know the coal reserves on the dock?"

There is a canal about seven kilometers north of the shelter, and there is a coal dock next to the canal. Although Li Meng worked as a coolie for the exploration team before, he had never been to this place.

First, it’s too far, and second, I don’t dare to go…

Nodding, Meng Wuwei said: "This dock has a large coal reserve. There are seven coal mountains, all of which are lumps of coal. The shelter started burning coal forty years ago, and so far, only three of them have been emptied. A coal mountain..."

Speaking of this, Meng Wuwei paused for a moment and reminded: "Although there is a lot of coal, how to transport it is a big problem. Although it is only seven kilometers away, it takes a day to go there and back. I don't know how much coal has been transported over the years. People died on this road. If you want to move it on a large scale, the trouble of alien beasts will be unavoidable..."

what to do?

Li Meng's fingers tapped on the table unconsciously, and he fell into deep thought.

The coal must be moved. At the moment, he is still a "0" level commander, and there are very few items that can be exchanged. Among them, there is nothing that can solve the problem of warmth in the shelter. At least for now, there is nothing that can replace coal.

Then move it...

Thinking of this, Li Meng looked up at Meng Wuwei and said: "Go and prepare some supplies for going out for use. There will be coal and food. You have to do everything one by one. At least we have a few days."

Although he didn't know what the Governor was going to do, Meng Wuwei knew that the Governor would definitely take action soon.

"etc……"

Just as Meng Wuwei was leaving, Li Meng called out to Meng Wuwei.

After a slight pause, Meng Wuwei turned and looked at Li Meng behind the desk.

Facing Meng Wuwei's gaze, Li Meng said: "Keep half of the strange stone and leave the rest to me..."

"yes……"

Lowering his head slightly, Meng Wuwei turned and left.

As Meng Wuwei left, only Li Meng and Chen Nannan were left in the room.

Looking at Chen Nannan, Li Meng said: "Go, inform Zhang Guowei and Zhu Wei and ask them to come see me..."

"yes……"

Lowering his head in response, Chen Nannan then turned and left.

Although the three days have not yet arrived, at this time, some things that need to be done have been done. There is no need to wait for tomorrow, we must start taking action today, time waits for no one...

Leaning back, Li Meng had a thoughtful expression on his face, lost in thought.

I had just accepted the shelter, and I didn't expect to run into trouble so quickly.

Li Meng originally thought that the supplies in the shelter could last for at least more than a month, but he didn't expect that the supplies were so small and could only last for a few days.

No wonder the population of the shelter has plummeted over the past ten years. From a population of several thousand to hundreds today, it only took ten years. This shows how poor the resources in Qing'an City outside are.

Thinking of this, Li Meng opened the item page with a thought.

"Exchange Landmark Sensor Rod , light transmission starts, countdown: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."

As the voice of 2020 fell, in the room, on the table in front of Li Meng, only a few white lights emerged from the void. The white lights appeared suddenly and disappeared quickly, disappearing without a trace in a moment. , when the white light disappeared, four iron rods about 20 centimeters long and four fingers thick appeared on the table.

They are silver-gray in color, with a very smooth surface that reflects the firelight.

Li Meng picked up a silver-gray iron rod from the table and twisted his hands...

There was just a click, and the silver-gray iron rod shortened by one centimeter. The inside vibrated a few times, and then calmed down.

Looking into the room, Li Meng lowered his head and opened the drawer under the desk and put the silver-gray iron rod in it.

These four silver-gray iron rods are landmark sensor rods, a very important thing...

After putting it away, Li Meng thought and opened the map interface again...

In the air in front of Li Meng, a map gradually appeared.

The originally gray area became brighter, and the area with a radius of five kilometers was clearly visible.

The only thing that Li Meng regrets is that the surface sensor rod does not have the function of automatically detecting enemies. It can only generate images and transmit the scanned things to the map. If Li Meng wants to know the enemy situation nearby, he can only pull the map to search.

After all, it is the most basic surface sensor with limited capabilities. Li Meng was not disappointed...
