Hoarding Goods In Space: Struggling To Survive In A Crisis World.

Chapter 557 Hypoxia 1
After breakfast, Jiang Rong brought everyone to the pharmaceutical factory warehouse.
Shen Li was already working in the barn, seeing him wake up earlier than a chicken and sleep slower than a dog every day, everyone sympathized with him.
"Sister Jiang, brother-in-law, you're here. I've asked someone to count all the safflower oil. There are over five hundred boxes in total."
Standing beside Shen Li were four armed guards The pharmaceutical factory warehouse was an important headquarters, and there were guards here 24 hours a day.
With a wave of Shen Li's hand, the four guards on duty immediately left. Without the presence of outsiders, Wu Pei closed the door of the warehouse and everyone started to work.
Ye Fu went to collect 500 boxes of safflower oil, and Jiang Rong followed Shen Li to the warehouse area b, where there were many machines and equipment, all of which had to be collected today.
"Thank you to Brother Jiang who reminded us that there is swine fever on the pig farm. Otherwise, the tens of thousands of pigs in the pig farm would not be able to be raised. All the sick pigs have been treated. To avoid the fever pigs again, the remaining pigs were slaughtered and sent to the factory, sister-in-law, I'm afraid I'll trouble you to go to the canning factory.
Shen Li is a confidant of Cheng Rin, and he knows best the deal between Jiang Rong and Cheng Rin.
"Good."
Ye Fu strongly agreed, after all, they would get 20% of all the items they took, and 20% was not a small amount.
The most important thing is that if everything can be stored in the space, a large amount of materials and machinery and equipment can be stored in the event of a crisis.
Vegetables from plantations are constantly being transported to warehouses, oxygen is depleting, and vegetable and food cultivation has been stopped altogether. The most important thing is water resources. Water is a renewable resource, but once the environment is destructively polluted, the water source can be regenerated, also with certain sources of pollution.
Ye Fu and Jiang Rong were very busy, they stayed at the base for five days before collecting most of the supplies and equipment, including planes, trucks, excavators, gasoline, diesel ...
The base hospital is already full of people, Shen Li said that in the past three days, more and more people have died suddenly from lack of oxygen, and among these sudden deaths, 90% are elderly people over 60 years of age.
Residents of the base began to protest, besieging office buildings and pharmaceutical factories, demanding management distribute oxygen cylinders and heart-relieving pills.
Base management ignored the citizen protests. The first to die were the old men. This is an opportunity for those in power. According to the law of the jungle, if the weak are eliminated, the chances of survival for the remaining people will increase.
Before returning to Guanshan Villa, Ye Fu and the others took a detour to the base hospital, which was no different from the hospital before the end of the world. There was a sea of people inside, and the queue had already reached three kilometers from the hospital.
"Look at the ground, is that a corpse wrapped in a black trash bag?"
Wu Pei pointed to a corner of the hospital hall, and everyone followed his finger to look at him. Someone passed by and accidentally stepped on the black bag. Everyone was in a hurry, and no one had the time to figure out what was inside the bag.
"That's a corpse."
Several people were sitting in cars, watching the makeshift building not far from the crowd.
Fang Ming rubbed his temples, "To be honest, lately I have always felt claustrophobic, especially when I wake up from squatting on the ground, my eyes are dark, my brain is dizzy, and there's a tingling pain. Stale, like being strangled by someone, it feels like the blood in my body is flowing backwards.”
"Are you still suffering?"
Fang Ming shook his head, "I don't feel like this right now. In fact, I also find it difficult to breathe while taking a shower. I didn't dare take a shower lately, for fear of dying suddenly."
Ye Fu took out some oxygen cylinders and distributed them, "Take, just in case, this gets serious, let's go home first."
“It turns out the body of a person who died suddenly due to lack of oxygen will turn blue.” Wu Pei quickly opened the oxygen bottle and took a breath, patting his chest, his eyes full of anxiety and panic.
Hypoxia is different from other disasters. It doesn't matter if you're fast enough, sensitive enough, or strong enough. This is a silent murder. You can't see where it is, and you can't even hold it.
“Sister Jiang, sister-in-law, let everyone move into the basement, it is expected to be chaos soon.” Shen Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said in seriousness.
Ye Fu looked outside, on the way back to Heguang City from the base, there were many people who died from lack of oxygen lying here and there.
“Currently, we only have more than 50 oxygen tubes in our hands. The specifications of the oxygen tube are different, and the time of use is also different. Medical oxygen tube can be used for 40 to 50 hours, and ordinary oxygen tube can only be used for 10 to 15 hours."
“How long does it take to complete the above-ground shelter you mentioned?” Ye Fu looked at Shen Li.
"It's only started over a month, and it'll take at least two months to complete."
And land shelters can only accommodate 100,000 people.
As soon as the car entered Guanshan Villa, everyone heard cries and quarrels.
There were still a few cars coming out of the villa area, Ye Fu had sharp eyes and looked at the hands and clothes hanging in the trunk.
It seemed like someone died in the villa area, who had a car at home planning to take the corpse out of Heguang City and bury it secretly.
Back at the 11th building, Ye Fu found a large iron gate locked behind him, Jiang Rong parked the car, Wu Pei and Fang Ming went to knock on the door, and, they shouted the names of Officer Song and Qi Yuan above them. The voice, after two minutes, police Officer Song and Tang Yizheng came out.
I haven't been back in five days. Looks like there's a lot going on in the villa area. The neighbors were not wanting to go out to watch the fun, and I could faintly hear the cries from next door.
"Jiang Rong, is that you?"
“Yes, we are back, Brother Song, open the door quickly.” Ye Fu took out a flashlight and shuffled it twice, gesturing to the people inside.
Officer Song hurriedly opened the door, and after a few people entered, he locked the door behind him.
"Song's sister, are you okay?"
Officer Song nodded, "Brother Wan and Brother Liu have been vomiting for two days. They have been in a coma for the past two days, and sometimes wake up. They're still conscious. Everyone is fine. Everyone is in the room. Let's talk first."
"Why do neighbors cry all the time?"
"The accident happened to the Zhang family next door, and Zhang Wenxi's mother has left."
Entering the villa, everyone saw Ye Fu and the others return, and rushed to greet them.
“I'll go see Uncle Wan and the others first.” Ye Fu took out a box of oxygen cylinders from space and asked Wu Pei and Fang Ming to hand out those oxygen cylinders to everyone.
In the bedroom on the first floor, Wan Tao and Liu Zhang were already awake, vomiting and comatose, both of them looking unwell.Fortunately, Ye Fu left behind a bottle of special medicine, and both of them saved their lives.
"That's no big deal, just take another special medicine and start breathing in oxygen."
