Chapter 281 Challenges and Opportunities Coexist

  The space station in the sky has a warm atmosphere, but North America on the ground is gloomy and bleak.

   After more than a week of tossing, Jack and Sam finally found Lucy with their own efforts. The husband met his wife again, and the son had his mother again. It was a happy family.

   When they reunited in the camp, the three of them cried almost uncontrollably, and the eyes of the people around them were full of envy and even jealousy.

  Sam's two friends, Laura and Brian, were happy for him, but they couldn't help feeling lost.

   Both of them were orphaned.

   Although the death of the parents has not been fully confirmed, and may never even be confirmed, more than a week has passed and they are not holding out much hope.

  More than 100 million people, more than one-third of the death rate.

   There are only a few people who can be rescued by the rescue team in the disaster.

   Both of them left in gloom, Sam saw it, he patted his parents who were hugging him, turned around and chased after them, trying to comfort them.

   It's just that there are too many people around. After chasing him for a while, he found that both of them disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

   "Laura?" Sam tried calling out from the crowd, but got no response, and didn't know if Laura didn't hear him or didn't want to talk to him.

  Sam stood blankly in the crowd when a voice suddenly came from behind:

   "Hey, are you looking for relatives too?"

It was a tall, thin man. Strangely, he was wearing a large black mask that completely covered his face. He was also wearing the jacket sent by the Mutual Rescue Association before. .

   "Yes, I'm looking for someone, but..." Sam was trying to explain that he wasn't looking for relatives, but the tall and thin man didn't give him a chance to continue.

   "That's enough!"

   He strode over, grabbed Sam under his shoulders, and walked to a remote place with him almost sandwiching him. Only then did the man slightly lift his jacket, revealing the guy hiding underneath—

   "Did you hear the cries in the camp? The bereaved are weeping, the departed loved ones are crying, all this should not have happened..."

   "So, come join us!"

   Gudu!

  Sam swallowed hard, wiggling his legs.

too crazy!

   This man has three submachine guns hanging under his clothes!

   And it seems like if he just nods his head now, he can take one of them?

  In the blink of an eye, countless underworld plots flashed through Sam's mind, and he even began to wonder if he could still survive if he chose to refuse...

   Won't be solved by this man in this remote corner with a single shot?

   Now this scene is much more dangerous than the neurotic gunmen in New York before.

  He is a well-educated high school student, where has he experienced such a scene?

   Sam's mind went down for a while.

   Just when he was thinking about it, the tall and thin man also discovered the fact that he was a coward, and his legs were placed like a tap dance...

   "Boy, now there are our people in every corner of the camp, don't talk nonsense to me!"

After the    warning, the tall and thin man did not force it, and simply gave up the goal of Sam.

   Realizing that the tall and thin man had really left, Sam relaxed abruptly, trembling until he had to lean against the wall to stand firm.

   He didn't dare to stay too long, and forced himself back to his home in the camp.

   Thanks to Jack's identity and his actions before the disaster, their family lived in a rather large tent, which was considered a privileged level in the camp, especially after Jack returned to the Weather Bureau.

   Sam, who had returned from a thrilling return, told his parents what happened just now. Lucy hugged him with heartache immediately after hearing it, while Jack was thoughtful.

   "Has the situation deteriorated to this point? Survivors in the north are already openly firing..."

  Jack rubbed his brows, knowing that he had to calm down.

   From a week ago, when the two of them were still in the camp looking for Lucy, he found that the camp was slowly changing in the direction of the explosive barrels.

  The built-up dissatisfaction is getting stronger and stronger, especially the northern survivors. These people are like stimulants, and each batch of rescue teams sent back will make the mood in the camp more and more intense.

   He believes that those who manage the camp have also discovered this problem, so he has not seen the rescue team continue to send people here for the past two days.

   It is said that they were sent to other camps for resettlement, but they have no right to know what is going on in those places.

   However, this approach did not make the situation better, but made some southern people dissatisfied.

  Because those survivors in the north may have their relatives and friends, and now a survivor in the camp is not accepted, it means that their already difficult family search has become more difficult.

   Moreover, before this problem was exposed, many northern survivors had been received in the camp, and this move directly made these people feel the official defense against them...

   "We can't stay here any longer!"

  Thinking about it, Jack stood up and made a quick decision.

   Wife Lucy didn't understand: "Why? If we're not here, where are we going?"

  Sam also looked at his father in surprise, completely not expecting him to make this decision.

  Jack walked a few times in the tent to sort out his thoughts: "There will definitely be an accident in this camp in the future, we... we can go to the mutual rescue club!"

   "I met their president a few times, and Liu's contact information. They are definitely willing to take us in, but I don't know if they can still be contacted now."

   "You all get ready, I'm going to the office of the Mutual Rescue Society now!"

   After saying that, Jack left the tent and walked quickly to the office of the Mutual Rescue Association.

   Then he saw that the place was overcrowded, and he couldn't squeeze in.

Jack squeezed into the crowd, and after listening for a while, he realized that he was not the only smart person. Besides him, there were also many people who were uneasy about the situation in the camp. …

  …

  Finch Time and Space.

   After the meeting, Tan Mingda and his party did not stay too much. After a brief meeting with Ning Jihua, they returned from the day after tomorrow.

   "This meeting is an eye-opener."

   Tan Mingda, who returned to the office, was quite excited. He gathered other members of the Fifth Division who did not attend the meeting and held a small meeting.

   At the meeting, he also talked about his experience at the meeting, and focused on the possibility of food crisis and the technology of artificial starch synthesis.

   "President Sun of the No. 3 time and space promised us that after this technology appears, as long as they can afford all the energy consumption required for production, it is worthy of our comrades to pay more attention to this point."

"We have researched this project before. This time, at the suggestion of the headquarters, at the meeting, several of our branches have decided to unify the research materials and conduct collective research on technical difficulties. Comrade Haiyan, please coordinate and share our previous The research data have been re-presented.”

   A woman holding a pen and a notebook and wearing glasses nodded in response.

   Tan Mingda went on to say:

   "Now our position in the Mutual Rescue Society is a bit awkward. Compared with other time and space, we are more like eating dry food."

   He counted his fingers and explained to everyone.

   "Look, Dimension 1 has donated a lot of materials to everyone, and even we have accepted their love, and now our team is still 'collecting junk' on their side.

  Space-time No. 2 also has its own advantages, with abundant resources and promising future. Time-Space No. 3 has developed technology, people are united, and they are always available. Time-Space No. 4 is even more incomparable to us. "

   "The 6th time and space just suffered a great disaster, only we have been receiving assistance from other time and space, without any contribution of our own..."

  Tan Mingda's tone was very worried.

  Although he has not been in contact with foreign affairs for more than ten years, he knows that in the exchanges between countries, interests are the most important.

   They can't give Mutual Rescue any benefit at all now, on the contrary, Mutual Rescue will give them assistance.

   Such a relationship will not last.

   Even if the Mutual Rescue Association and the President Zhang were willing to continue to assist him, he did not want this situation to continue.

   Sitting in his position, he has to think more. This kind of lunch that falls from the sky is picked up by his head. The more he eats, the more stupid he will be.

   In this case, the relationship between the two parties will become more and more unequal, and even they will gradually become the vassal of the Mutual Rescue Association or other time and space.

   This is also the reason why he has been swaying before and has not fully integrated into the Mutual Rescue Society.

   He can't find his own clear niche in this system!

  If it wasn't for the delegation sent to the acquired time and space to confirm that the Mutual Rescue Society is indeed a just organization, don't worry about them playing the routine of the previous colonization, I'm afraid he will have to wait and see for a longer time.

  Others lowered their heads when they heard Tan Mingda's words, not knowing how to respond.

  Tan Mingda sighed, and waited until the atmosphere eased a little before continuing: "This is actually no wonder everyone, this is determined by our current objective reality, we had no room to move, and no chance before."

   "But everyone should know that the situation is different now. We are facing challenges, but there are opportunities, and it is a rare opportunity in a thousand years. We must seize it!"

   Everyone took a deep breath in unison, and gave themselves a boost in their hearts.

Where is something like    parallel time and space that is rare in a thousand years?

   has never appeared in human history!

   They all know that since they have chosen to face the challenge head on, the opportunity here must be seized.

   To seize this opportunity, the first step is to do a good job of collaborative research!

   They have to achieve excellent results in this collective project, there is no time or place, they can only rely on people!

  The technological development route that is different from other time and space is the first step for them to obtain a niche within the Mutual Rescue Association!

  Everyone was motivated and threw themselves into work immediately after the meeting.

  Someone went to look for previously sealed research materials, and some people went to investigate the whereabouts of researchers who had participated in related projects before...

   Almost the same moment.

  Before participating in the freight brigade, Zhou Tao and Xue Liangping, who went to No. 1 time and space to carry supplies, drove through the time and space tunnel again.

   And there were not only the two of them who came back. There were at least a thousand trucks behind them, and the trucks were full of supplies.

   Since leaving, this is the first time the team members have returned. They used to transport the collected materials to the port in the first time and space, and then they were brought back by the freighter.

  Although the time spent in the 1st dimension is not long, Zhou Tao, who has returned to his homeland again, still feels very uncomfortable.

  The communication channel inside the truck is showing reminders over and over again: "You have returned, please pay attention to direct sunlight, and do not open the window."

   The days of driving in the sun with the windows open and the wind blowing in the 1st time will come to an end temporarily.

   Xue Liangping, who has not yet graduated from the apprenticeship, is still in the car. The two returned the truck in the parking lot, and then silently got on the bus home.

  Xue Liangping is a little strange: "Why did you suddenly call us back? I heard people around me are rumoring that the No. 1 time and space are in trouble with us, and we are not allowed to continue to buy goods there."

   Zhou Tao was relatively calm, he fanned the wind and said: "Don't think too much, didn't it say above, this is a reward for our vacation, and aren't there many of our people there?"

   He did not believe this statement.

   He even believed that this was an ordinary vacation arrangement.

   Of course, he didn't want to understand why he would suddenly let them come back on vacation.

   If he hadn't thought that he could come back to see his family and bring something for the family, he would have stayed there and never came back. No. 1 time-space is broken, it is a relatively normal time-space. In terms of life, life is really much better than here, even if he is just a driver over there.

   Zhou Tao glanced at the two large bags that Xue Liangping was carrying, and suddenly asked, "What did you bring home?"

  Xue Liangping opened one of the bags, which was full of snacks and fruits, and then opened the other bag, which contained toys and drinks.

   The young man smiled: "It's all for the family and other children in the building, this is for Zhu Mei, this car is for A Yuan..."

  Zhou Tao gave him a thumbs up, and then opened his big bag, which also contained a lot of food and play, and obviously many were brought to other people in the building.

  Apart from these two people, other people in the bus also brought back a lot of things in large and small bags, and at this time, they all shared it with the people around them.

  The car was lively and festive.

   Zhou Tao looked at other excited people around him, and suddenly realized why he thought this vacation was strange before.

  So many people have arranged to go home on vacation, wouldn't the matter of parallel time and space be rumored immediately?

   He was moved and asked Xue Liangping: "Before we came back, did anyone tell you that we should keep the Mutual Rescue Association a secret?"

  Xue Liangping was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

   After saying this, his eyes also changed, and he obviously realized the problem.

   Zhou Tao's eyelids jumped.

   Didn't you even say anything about the scene that kept them secret?
