Chapter 126 This is a conspiracy
It was their turn to keep vigil, and one after another people woke up and moved around in the middle aisle.
After a good night's sleep, everyone felt refreshed when they woke up.
Lin Xiao had already walked to the end of the carriage, observing the situation outside from there.
After Jiang Yuan took a sip of hot water, she stood up and moved around, staring outside as a dedicated guard.
The cold wind blew loudly.
You can see that the weeds on the roadside have been blown down by the strong wind.
As far as the eye could see, there was nothing alive.
Everyone separated in a tacit understanding, found a position and started to stand guard.
Jiang Yuan slowly moved to Lin Xiao's side, only to see him staring intently at the dark sand outside.
"What are you looking at?"
It was late at night. What could be there that he could keep an eye on?
She looked over, but there was nothing.
"That patch of sand is barren of grass."
Isn't it all black? How do you know there is no grass growing? What if there is more green grass and wild vegetables?
There are even weeds on the roadside, how could there not be any on the sand?
"Remember what I told you? In areas with high radiation, the probability of rough stones appearing is somewhat high."
Lin Xiao said thoughtfully again.
It was as if the world he saw was different from what Jiang Yuan saw.
How can it be?
She subconsciously widened her eyes.
Then the next second, she came close to him and whispered softly.
"If it was true, the guards would have taken action long ago."
This is a fact. How can I wait for you to pick up the leak?
Lin Xiao was silent for a while, and finally seemed to agree with what Jiang Yuan said, saying that he was overthinking everything.
"We'll see how the escort team assigns tasks after daybreak."
But the next second, he was saying that it was too early to draw a conclusion now.
Is it possible that the poor will be allowed to dig in the sand?
There is a huge area of sand on both sides of the road.
Although it is not wide enough, it is long enough, at least five kilometers.
The poor people were looking for food to survive this time. How could they be arranged to dig in the sand?
She walked and walked boredly, and finally persisted until dawn.
The escort came to the car again and called Zhou Feng down.
From the looks of it, tasks should be assigned.
But his expression was a bit strange. Fang Junxi from the escort team didn't say a word. He looked at the sand in the distance with a surprised look on his face, and his eyes seemed to bulge out.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan felt bad and subconsciously looked at Lin Xiao.
Could it be that he was really right?
Are there any rough stones here?
The next second, her eyes widened as she watched Zhou Feng get into the car, opened her mouth and eagerly announced a piece of news.
Everyone present began to boil and get excited.
"According to testing, the probability that there are rough stones in the sandy land where we are located is about 80%, so we need to send people to the sandy land to dig out rough stones today."
As soon as the news about the rough stone broke, everyone present was stunned.
Haven't even reacted yet.
Zhou Feng continued.
"Captain Xiao will not force us to do anything. You can choose to scavenge or hunt. The escort team will also send personnel to protect you. If you choose to stay in this sandy land for mining, you can get twenty kilograms of meat every day."
So it’s not hard work for nothing, it’s for food, or the meat that everyone dreams of.
You must know that all day yesterday, hunting yielded nothing, and Jiang Yuan, the scavenger, only got seven kilograms of grain.
Now I can earn twenty pounds of meat a day. Such a good thing would never happen in the slums.
Jiang Yuan was very excited after hearing this.
I thought everyone would fight for it, but after Zhou Feng finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
"Sand in high-radiation areas is very harmful to the human body. Once mining begins, the sand enters the body through the mouth and nose, which is more harmful than eating a meal of orange food."
Someone started muttering.
Jiang Yuan reacted instantly.
Yes, this is a high-risk job.
The wind has been so strong these two days and the dust is flying all over the sky. In her day, anyone who was often exposed to this would get lung disease or something like that.
Not to mention the highly radiated dust now.
Twenty pounds of meat is equivalent to trading your own life.
Who can not hesitate?
"Will you die immediately?"
Jiang Yuan didn't quite understand the lethality of sand and soil, so she silently asked Lin Xiao.
"No, but it will cause permanent damage. It may not seem like much now, but it may shorten the lifespan, or it may suddenly break out when a person gets sick. A common cold is likely to cause death due to this high radiation. There is no specific numerical value to estimate the risk this time.”
Whether they die or not depends on each person.
But high radiation will harm everyone, that’s for sure.
"Then let's not go."
She whispered to Lin Xiao again.
The most attractive thing to them was not the twenty pounds of meat, but the rough stones.
But under the noses of the escorts, even if the rough stones are really dug here, it can't be theirs, right?
She still wants to live a good life for a few more years, but she is not willing to do this kind of thing.
"it is good."
This time Lin Xiao did not hesitate.
The other people in the car were busy discussing.
Most people are unwilling to go, and a few people have been shaken, but are still struggling. In short, no one agrees.
Until new news comes.
If you go to the sand to dig rough stones, you will need thirty kilograms of meat and ten kilograms of rice a day.
So much food?
Many people's eyes were shining with envy.
"If you think the risk is very high, you can just dig for one day and we will give you a total of forty kilograms of food."
Less contact means less damage.
In one day, the amount of dust inhaled is limited, right?
That’s a full forty kilograms of grain, isn’t it tempting enough?
Finally, someone wavered and decided to do the job.
Among them was Aunt No. 7, who had previously teamed up with Jiang Yuan, and was the only woman in the car.
Six other people also attended.
There were twenty-three people left in their car.
Later, Jiang Yuan looked through the car window and saw people getting off other cars one after another.
Three cars made up twenty-eight workers, and each person was assigned a working tool.
Dust masks are also provided, and each person wears three.
Jiang Yuan was completely stunned when she saw the whole box of masks that was moved from the escort vehicle.
Are they so well prepared? Have you even thought about dust masks?
With this thing, at least 70% of dust can be prevented from entering the mouth and nose, right?
Leng Buding saw the human side of the escorts, and she was really uncomfortable with it.
In addition to these poor people, the escort team also participated in the project of finding rough stones.
Looks like the poor are equally armed.
Don’t they all like to let others take the lead?
Jiang Yuan was shocked again by this operation.
Could it be that the sand only harms the poor, and the people in the escort can eliminate this harm?
