$160, Insect Plague Apocalypse 16 (Update 1)

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the place.

Not many people used insect shells to exchange for supplies, because peeling insect shells was too challenging for people's psychological endurance, so there were relatively few people who really had insect shells in stock.

The list of supplies exchanged for insect shells was posted on the wall, all of which were food and daily necessities.

In the end, the two exchanged five insect shells for half a box of milk, and the exchange rate was really low.

However, no one would dislike taking milk home, because there were old people and children at home, and the eldest grandson who had never grown up in Grandma Lin's eyes. The old lady didn't quite understand those high-end health-preserving methods, but she knew that drinking more milk would definitely be good for the body~

In the next half month, Yu Heng did not go out, and concentrated on attacking the second level of [General Principles of Physical Fitness]. After successfully reaching the second level, he thought about going out again.

He went out quietly and came back before 5 pm, and Lin Rongbiao and others didn't notice. After he had swept through all of Shenyun Township and was about to continue to expand outward carefully, the Shenyun Township Shelter made a decision: conscription.

Moreover, this conscription is not based on voluntary principles, but on compulsory ones.

All people staying in the shelter are registered, and the composition of their family members is clear at a glance.

One morning, the safe zone broadcast a notice to the survivors in each shelter that in each family, as long as there is a male over the age of 18, one person must be called up for military service.

This notice blew up the shelter at once!

Yu Heng was very confused about the decision of the shelter. Forced conscription cannot be supported by the public at any time. After arriving in Shenyun Township, he knew that the temporary branch of the 12th Army in Shenyun Township had been recruiting soldiers on behalf of the shelter. The conditions were not bad, but the number of applicants was not many, but not too few.

At present, he has concerns in his heart. Whether it is the Lin family or his pursuit of Xinhuodian, he has not thought about joining the army for the time being.

The day after this decision was released, the official recruitment began. The shelter is also single, so why don't you come to your family? Okay, cut off the supply of food and other materials.

The Lin family does not lack this supply, but they are all worried about this incident. Although they live in the dormitory building, their neighbors are wealthy, so they can't see how chaotic this place is, but other mixed-living halls are almost in chaos.

"I don't think it's right." The Lin family discussed at home.

"It feels like chaos is coming. Why is the shelter so anxious?"

Lin Rongbiao couldn't figure it out: "Although I didn't study much, I also know that forced conscription has never ended well since ancient times. Now everyone is still afraid. If they suddenly force conscription, something will definitely happen."

After that, he asked Yu Heng: "Heng'an, what do you think?"

Yu Heng couldn't figure it out either. It's not that conscription is bad. Judging from the current actual needs and actual recruitment situation, there is indeed an urgent need for soldiers.

In this era, everyone has the responsibility to fight. In the grand sense, it is for the future of the country and the hope of the nation! In the small sense, it is for yourself, for your family, and for your loved ones.

Lying down and accepting the protection of others? You yourself are so weak that your legs go weak when you see a bug. Why should others be responsible for your life?

Joining the army is one of the ways to participate in the battle, and it is an official way.

This time, facing the sudden radical measures of the top leaders, he was in the lower class of management and could not figure out the ideas of the top leaders.

This is the disadvantage of not joining the army for the time being. Although he is free at present, he cannot get the news of the top leaders. Well, in fact, he also knows that even if he joins the army now, it will take time to climb up, and he may not be able to find out any news.

In troubled times, people are just duckweed following the waves!

"Dad, I don't know either. I can only wait and see how the situation will develop." See if the top leaders really want to be so tough, or if they are aiming at Pei Gong.

The shelter was in chaos for several days, and all the protesters and troublemakers were suppressed.

In the follow-up handling, it can be seen that Shenyun Township came prepared, and all the uneasy factors were under control.

After seeing this, Yu Heng felt relieved and went out secretly again.

The situation was completely calmed down a week later, and Shenyun Township issued a series of latest wartime decrees.

First, survivors who live in Shenyun Township, who are 16 years old or above and 60 years old or below (special conditions can be applied for), need to pay five insect corpses (see the attachment for insect qualification standards) every day as admission fees; and five insect corpses (see the attachment for insect qualification standards) every day as meal expenses.

Second, if you cannot do the first point, you need to obey the work arrangements assigned by the shelter.

Third, if you cannot do one of the above two points, Shenyun Township will expel you from the shelter, and you will have to solve your own housing, food and medical care in the future.

The three simple new rules all show the Shenyun Township shelter's determination to cut off its arm in management.

However, compared with forced conscription, this seems to be a concession.

Seeing that the shelter has stabilized again, Lin Shuangfeng patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really scary to see the mess outside these days." Some people even attempted to self-immolate to protest against the dictatorship! Is being a soldier more painful than self-immolation? She couldn't understand those people's thoughts.

"It will be implemented on May 15th... Then we have to start going out to warm up." Lin Rongbiao rubbed his wrists: "I haven't been out for a long time, my hands must be numb."

Yu Heng looked at Grandma Lin and Zhou Ping: "Grandma, I'll leave the house and Zhou Ping to you -" After thinking for a while, he added: "Parents, Aunt Zhou, we should still take turns to leave one person at home to take care of grandma as before. !”

How can Grandma Lin be willing to do so: "No, no, Grandma can do it by herself." If there is one less person, the children will be in more danger.

But it was a good idea, and Lin Rongbiao and the others were in favor.

"Grandma." Yu Heng took Grandma Lin's hand, "Don't worry, the three of us can take care of each other when we go out together."

"Yes, Mom, don't worry."

Everyone is action-oriented and has sufficient combat experience. Although except for Yu Heng, their experience is in shooting, they are still much better than many others.

Most importantly, their hearts are not afraid of bugs.

The next day, they started to go out, and Lin Shuangfeng was left behind.

Yu Heng had been out before and had a rough impression of where there were bugs, so he successfully found scattered bugs and let Lin Rongbiao and Zhou Junfang practice and gradually found the familiarity of holding guns.

"Aunt Zhou, next time we practice, you have to practice together." After going out for activities, Zhou Junfang obviously showed weak physical fitness. Facing Yu Heng's suggestion, she nodded seriously.

Outside they also met other people who were out, but the two parties did not communicate with each other.

Soon the day passed and they hunted fifty-six bugs. Because the shelter required a whole insect, they tied all the insect carcasses together, hung them on the back of the car, and dragged them back.

The insect shells are very hard, so dragging and rubbing them will only leave slight marks on them.

Once at the shelter, they turn in the bugs. There are six people in their family, and Zhou Ping does not need to pay accommodation fees. These bugs can be regarded as prepaying their share on May 15th in advance, and the rest will be credited to the 16th.

They were the third batch of people to pay their accommodation fees, and were watched by the crowd.

"I always feel weird." Lin Rongbiao couldn't help but rub his arms under his gaze. What’s there to see?

After returning home, they were warmly welcomed by Lin Shuangfeng and others. Relatives ask each other and report each other's safety.

"Come and have dinner, you can't have anything good for lunch."

"How was the shelter today?"

Speaking of this, Lin Shuangfeng had something to say.

"After lunch, I took Mom and Heping downstairs for a walk. I happened to meet someone coming back from killing bugs outside. Oh, the bugs were piled up like a hill."

Recalling the grand occasion when the onlookers stared and helped count, Lin Shuangfeng was still a little excited.

Lin Rongbiao was surprised: "So many?"

"There are so many. When my mother and I left, we only counted 300! When we came back, I heard from Sister Ming next door that we counted more than 1,000 for an hour!"

Yu Heng focused on something else: "Mom, have you seen the insect killers? How many are there?"

"I didn't see it, and I wouldn't recognize it if I saw it." Lin Shuangfeng smiled sheepishly.

Yu Heng smiled: "Yes, I asked a silly question."

"By the way, Mom told me something, and I'll tell you too. Today, the shelter released the latest batch of work content, and Mom took a fancy to the work of shelling insects and wanted to do it."

Lin Shuangfeng was a little helpless, she definitely disapproved! They were all young and had no difficulty in taking care of their mother. The ten insect corpses of the mother-in-law were released after she and her husband and son each tried their best to kill two more.

But the mother-in-law also felt sorry for them and would rather go to work herself and want her son to go home early.

She also told her that she was too busy and didn’t want to do it at home. But how could Lin Shuangfeng not guess what the old man was thinking?

Lin Rongbiao also guessed it and quickly advised her: "Mom, it's hard to peel bugs. The bugs are tall and big with sharp claws and very dangerous. It's very hard for you to take care of Zhou Ping at home, so don't go to work."

"Pingping is very well-behaved. It's not hard work. I've asked about it. As long as the child doesn't run around, I can take the child there. When the time comes, Pingping will play with toys next to me and I will work. It's very convenient."

Come on, the old man has already planned it himself~

Yu Heng asked: "Grandma, if you go, how many insect shells will you need to peel off in one day to equal five insect corpses?"

Grandma Lin grinned and said very proudly: "I am fifty-nine years old now. They said that I only need to peel two bodies every day."

Therefore, it can only be done for half a year at most. Skinning two bodies in one day is not a heavy job. Thinking this way, Yu Heng thought it could be done. Grandma Lin has a delicate mind. If she really wants her to stay at home all the time, she will definitely not be able to cope with it. Over time, she will think too much and it will not be good for her health.

However, peeling off insect shells is still not appropriate. Staying with insect corpses for a long time is uneasy no matter how old Grandma Lin and Zhou Ping are.

"Grandma, can I ask you about other jobs?" Seeing that Grandma Lin was a little anxious, Yu Heng explained to her in a low voice: "The environment is not good, and Zhou Ping is so young, what if he encounters germs? He will get sick. "

This reason was more useful than saying it was bad for her health, so Grandma Lin accepted it immediately.

"Okay, dear grandson, please help grandma ask."
