Chapter 1097
Gao Tianwu, the village chief of Gaoyuan Village, was sitting in his office, worrying about the food for the village in half a month.
He knew very well that once there was no food, the entire Gaoyuan Village would quickly collapse.
But after the end of the world, growing food has become extremely difficult.
Some of them are good at growing, and they know how to use rotten wood to cultivate fungi, but that thing can only fill the gap in food.
The most critical rice, flour, grain and oil are getting less and less.
They have thought about going to the urban area of Tianhai City to collect more resources.
As early as more than half a year ago, they tried to cross the vast snow and came to Tianhai City to inquire.
As a result, the situation in Tianhai City made them feel cold.
It has long been divided up by several large organizations.
They are numerous and powerful, and they all have hot weapons in their hands. It is absolutely a death wish for these people in Gaoyuan Village to compete with others for supplies.
Thinking of this, Gao Tianwu frowned tightly and worried about the future of the village.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in!"
Gao Tianwu said.
The door was pushed open, and a tall young man with a simple look walked in.
This was Gao Tianwu's younger brother Gao Changguang, who had been helping him maintain order in the village since the end of the world.
Gao Tianwu forced a smile on his face.
"Xiaoguang, I asked you to go out and find supplies, how did you do?"
Xiaoguang looked apologetic, and Gao Tianwu's heart sank when he saw this scene.
"Brother Xiaowu, we have already searched the area within a radius of ten miles near the village. Where are there any supplies left now?"
"This time I took the risk to take my brothers to a farther place, but the heavy snow submerged everything. There is no clue at all."
Gao Tianwu took a deep breath, his face full of worry, how could he not know how difficult it would be to leave the village to find supplies at this time?
Even if there are still undiscovered materials in the heavy snow, the snow has been falling for a year and has already submerged those uninhabited places.
How long will it take them to dig out the thick snow that is tens of meters deep?
Even though he is an extraordinary person with extraordinary power, it is difficult for him to complete such a troublesome task.
Xiao Guang continued, "Brother Xiao Wu, if this continues, our village's food supply won't last long."
"Some people have already started talking about it privately. Last night, I just caught a few thieves who tried to steal food! Should we teach them a lesson and warn other villagers?"
Gao Tianwu supported his chin with one hand and said with a serious expression:
"You can't do this. The villagers stole food because they were worried that they wouldn't have enough food, so they wanted to hide it to get through the difficult times."
"To put it bluntly, they just want to live. What's wrong with them?"
Xiao Guang said with some dissatisfaction, "But if everyone does this, our village will be in chaos!"
Gao Tianwu leaned back in his chair, thinking for a long time, and then slowly said:
"At this point, we must take some special measures. "
"Pass the order down, starting from today, the daily meals will be changed to one meal. Except for those who are responsible for patrolling every day, others should reduce their activities. As long as they don't move, they won't be hungry easily."
"When cooking porridge, add more water and less grain. In this way, the grain can at least last for a while longer."
Xiao Guang said bitterly: "Brother Xiao Wu, everyone is eating less now. If you do this again, I'm afraid everyone will be resentful!"
Gao Changguang said helplessly: "There is no other way. I have to make the villagers suffer first, and I will bear the blame."
"I will personally lead the team to find food these days. I don't believe that such a big Tianhai City is short of food for hundreds of people in our Gaoyuan Village!"
Xiao Guang took the order and went down, and then he asked someone to notify the news.
When the villagers heard this order, they immediately started an uproar.
A villager named Meng Chuan said immediately: "We are already hungry every day. We have to add water to the porridge. Why don't we just drink water?"
"How did Xiao Wu become the village chief? If he couldn't get food, he shouldn't have been the village chief!"
Some villagers whispered: "That's not the case. If it weren't for Xiao Wu and his brothers, how could we fight against the big villages next door? We would have been taken away by them long ago, and it would be a problem whether we can survive."
Meng Chuan snorted coldly: "The past is the past, and the present is the present. No matter how well he did then, who can guarantee that he has not changed his heart now?"
"Let us drink porridge every day, maybe he eats white flour buns behind our backs!"
Faced with Meng Chuan's harsh words, the villagers were not all ignorant.
Some people stood up immediatelyAccusing Meng Chuan: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Wu is not that kind of person."
Meng Chuan sneered, he carefully looked around first, and then whispered to other villagers:
"What do you know? That kid stole all the food and put it in his cellar."
"Do you really think he will share it with us? You are dreaming!"
"I saw him secretly take out a large bag of food from the cellar, sneaking away and I don't know where!"
As soon as these words came out, several nearby villagers widened their eyes.
"Are you telling the truth or not?"
Meng Chuan vowed: "How can it be false? If I lie, you can cut off my tongue!"
The rumor took wings and flew away quickly in the air.
Because of the food crisis in Gaoyuan Village, the villagers were not able to eat enough, and they would feel resentful.
At this time, a tiny spark was enough to plant the seeds of doubt in their hearts.
With the right soil, it only takes time for it to grow slowly, grow stronger, and finally become a terrifying monster.
In order to solve the food problem for the village, Gao Tianwu had to lead the team himself to find food.
As an alien, he has extraordinary strength, so he can better dig out the supplies buried under the snow.
In the past, he also worked in Tianhai City, delivered takeout and express delivery, and worked as a waiter in a bar. He is familiar with the locations of some large supermarkets and hotels.
He also knows that such places often have inventory.
So he led a group of people, relying on memory and a few high-rise buildings, and carefully explored in the heavy snow.
After several days of hard work, they finally found some supplies in the snow.
Although not much, they also loaded two cars with dog sleds.
Xiaoguang said to Gao Tianwu happily: "Brother Xiaowu, this is great! Let's save these supplies, they will be enough for several days!"
Gao Tianwu exhaled a thick white mist, looking a little tired, but his eyes could not hide the joy.
"Okay, let's keep working hard with this momentum. I remember there is a big supermarket about seven or eight kilometers ahead."
"It's getting late, they should go back and rest first, and bring a few more people to look there tomorrow."
The sky was dim, and the temperature would be even lower at night. The group did not dare to stay for long, and dragged the sled back.
