Chapter 578: Luxurious Enjoyment

Baltimore is located in the Washington metropolitan area, and there are a large number of research institutions here. At the beginning, Elder Joseph also had a heart for the country and all mankind, and protected several members of the National Academy of Sciences who were fleeing. At that time, he was still proud of his righteousness.

But after a long time, I discovered that the academician has an egg. All of them are old, even seventy or eighty years old, suffering from various ailments, and need someone to take care of them. Let them work but can't do anything. They are obviously full of knowledge and even rice worms are not as good as a proper dung-making machine.

This is like buying a blue-chip stock at the beginning, thinking that it will rise all the way, but it will fall all the way, and you will lose all your pants. So no matter whether it is a loss or not, Elder Joseph can only accept this deal with his nose pinched.

Seeing those trembling academicians being sent to a separate rest tent, Elder Joseph could only sigh, feeling that he might have really done a good deed. But what he has to do now is to quickly return to the shelter with the medicine he bought.

"Don't you want the camel machine?" Seeing that Elder Joseph was leaving, the handover personnel sent by the camp specifically reminded him.

"Can you give us the camel machine now?" Elder Joseph of course wants the camel machine. Although the unit power of that thing is small and it occupies a large area, it is better than bicycle power generation equipment! And with electricity, there are many things that can be done.

In the temporary camp, there is really a pot machine, which is a backup power generation equipment specially brought by Zhou Qingfeng in case Zhou Qingfeng leaves with the 'nuclear fusion battery'. The person who came to hand over nodded positively and said: "We can help you transport it to the shelter, and come to teach you how to install and use it."

"No, no, no, I can send someone to learn how to use it. And we can transport it ourselves." Elder Joseph still stuck to his bottom line and refused on the spot. He resolutely refused to allow members of the action team to enter the shelter, "I can arrange a few soldiers to learn how to operate right now."

The pot camel machine is not a precision device, but a stupid and clumsy antique machine. To put it bluntly, a boiler carries a steam engine. It is a very compact power equipment that can be made smaller. The action team provided a movable camel machine with wheels, 25 horsepower and several hundred kilograms.

To put it bluntly, this thing is to burn the stove, how to ignite, how to ensure the air pressure, how to release the air when the air pressure is high, and some simple troubleshooting. A dozen shelter soldiers here followed to learn how to operate, while Elder Joseph wandered around the camp over there, wanting to see this strange team for himself.

Due to the large number of people accommodated, the temporary camp became bustling, and everyone had to undergo a simple physical examination, followed by a large amount of medication and meals.

There were only two or three team doctors in the action team, and a few coolies were temporarily recruited as assistants. Seeing the sold personnel line up for inspection, this simple scene alone made Elder Joseph's heart skip a beat.

These guys are really extravagant!

First of all, all personnel have to take a bath, of course a hot bath. You need water for bathing, so you need a water pump to draw water. The pumped water is sent to the field cooking truck, which has a high-power electric heater, which can provide hundreds of liters of boiling water every minute.

This fucking thing is consuming a lot of power!

This power consumption alone cannot be provided by a pot camel machine. Don't these guys have more than one pot machine? No wonder they generously gave us one. Your Excellency thinks so.

After taking a bath, people take a physical examination in the bathroom naked. Many people are skinny and have various diseases. And those doctors immediately opened the medicine box carried by the team, and used all kinds of medicines that were in short supply as if they didn't need money.

All the people who were sold were relieved to find that they were treated well, and it was by no means treating themselves as slaves or as food. This is really treating oneself as a useful person.

Elder Joseph was terrified when he saw it, and he confirmed once again that the people in this armed convoy really had no shortage of medicines. They spend several times more drugs on various containment personnel than on shelters.

"It's strange, where do these people come from? They only have more than 20 vehicles, and it is impossible to meet the survival needs of hundreds of people anyway!" Elder Joseph was still incredulous. In fact, the camp had become very crowded. Those who were taken in had to live densely in some tents.

What surprised His Excellency the Elder even more was that this convoy even provided supper. He saw with his own eyes several pick-up trucks unload box after box of noodles until they were empty. Known as 'Supreme', these noodles are boiled in boiling water for a few minutes and are delicious when served with sauce.

"Elder Joseph, here are your noodles." The cook took the initiative to give a plate full of food, and reminded: "Hurry up, it's getting cold."

In order to keep warm, everyone gathered in a big tent to eat noodles. Several portable boilers were burned in the tent, which raised the temperature from minus ten degrees to above zero. This already feels much warmer.

After taking a mouthful of hot noodles, the aroma of oil directly stimulates people's appetite. A plate of noodles makes people feel warm all over. What surprised His Excellency even more is that the noodles here are open to eat, open to eat, open to eat!

Back then, the elders in the refuge had fought their lives and robbed tens of thousands of tons of supplies in the city at the cost of hundreds of people. But these supplies now seem to be unable to meet the needs of the shelter, otherwise so many people would not be hungry.

And how luxurious is this team? Where do they have the confidence to make people open to eat?

Elder Joseph sat among the diners and noticed that the diners were coming and going, and they left after eating without stopping. He asked a few words, and learned that these people still had to work when they were full.

"It's late at night, what else are you going to do?" Elder Joseph knew that although the worst stage of nuclear winter had passed, the night was still dripping into ice. Still working in this environment?

"We all want to work. Only by working can we have food and survive." The speaker was a middle-aged Caucasian woman, eating noodles silently, and then she was about to leave with the plate.

"Patty, you are Patty." Elder Joseph recognized the woman in front of him, this was the first woman who was traded out yesterday. At that time, she was stunned like a fool, but in just one day, this woman who was about to starve to death regained her vitality.

"Yes, I am Patty. Your Excellency, thank you very much for trading me out, otherwise I will die. But here, I have the hope of living again." The white woman said politely, but her tone was There was inevitably resentment in his eyes. In the shelter, she is the lowest class of worthless. This means that she does not even have the most basic guarantee of survival.

Seeing that the humble woman who used to be as humble as an ant dared to sneer at him, Elder Joseph couldn't help but said with a straight face: "It seems that you have integrated into this team, but I don't like you at all. It's very happy that you are eating and drinking so happily now. Yes. But what about tomorrow, the day after tomorrow? How long can your chief last?”

Unexpectedly, the white woman did not feel any frustration, instead she sneered and said, "Your Excellency, you don't need to worry about this matter. With the Legion Commander here, we can last forever. As for the food and drink in front of us, it's too trivial. The runway where we landed, there will be a transport plane bringing in supplies tomorrow."

What……? transport plane! (To be continued.)
