    Lin Chuan's rescue operation finally ended after the sixth heavy snowfall this winter. Before that, he had not found any survivors for sixteen full hours. ? 895 survivors were ultimately rescued, excluding 41 who died due to serious complications. 854 survivors were finally included in the base system, 33 of whom required continued hospitalization.  This also brings the final population of the base to 2,511.  It is still far from the number of people in the original hellish shelter, but for any manager, such a number is enough to give them a headache.  There was no longer any privacy, and even those who had been given separate rooms because they were in management had to share rooms with others. The corridors and platforms were filled with hastily made three-story buildings.  bed.  The light was dimmed because of the boxes stacked to the ceiling. Almost every corner was used to stack supplies or place bunk beds. Such a dense crowd brought far more than just pungent body odor. Every manager was worried about it.  We are worried about fire hazards, large-scale infectious disease hazards, and mass suffocation that may occur at any time. Compared with these problems that may break out at any time, food and oil that can last for two months is no longer a problem at all.  For those who survived later, this kind of life can be said to be paradise, but for the base residents who have been able to maintain better living conditions, this is already hell.  An invisible barrier spreads among the people in the base, bounded by Lin Chuan and his group. The first comers and the late comers have been in sharp opposition at some point. Even the most tolerant first comers often express disgust.  His eyes looked at those latecomers who had usurped his life resources.  The expansion project has long been stopped due to the depletion of building materials, and there is no possibility of venturing out in the severe cold. Apart from maintaining equipment and treating patients, the daily work of the base is almost nothing worth mentioning.  The warehousing and supplies department is counting the dwindling supplies day after day, the three canteens under the logistics support department are cooking continuously all day long, the human resources department is investigating everyone's previous occupation and expertise, and combat troops are rotating  They were practicing in the tunnel, but most of them had nothing to do and nowhere to go. They could only spend long days in their own beds without seeing the sun.  Thousands of young and middle-aged men crowded into this narrow space all day long, and violent fights finally began to spread.  ¡°Do you know what we lack most?¡± Chen Jian asked at the regular meeting of the management committee.  "It's gauze, red solution, medical plaster, splints and steel nails!" He couldn't help complaining loudly.  "The medical department is already busy enough. Can the internal guards do more to stop bringing so many wounded to us!" "What do you mean?" Zeng Yu shouted immediately.  He also felt aggrieved.  "We have been on duty 24 hours a day, and every room where newcomers and seniors live together has a designated person responsible for patrolling. However, the people in the base are so angry, and a small incident will immediately turn into a big melee with dozens of people.  It's impossible to control the situation with so many people! I would say, it's better to separate the new ones on the lower level and the first ones on the upper level, so that they don't have a chance to meet. This way, the number of fights can be reduced by at least half.  ! Let our internal guards free up their energy to focus on the newcomers, and the base will return to normal soon. " "What do you mean?" Liu Bin immediately objected.  He is one of the few newcomers on the management committee. He was previously a clerk in Jianghai Civil Affairs Bureau. Because he was familiar with disaster relief and organizational processes, he was promoted to manage the affairs of newcomers.  "It is not the newcomer's responsibility to cause this situation at all!" He said without hesitation.  "It's often the old people who cause troubles. We newcomers have tolerated everything, but they just don't like us. Especially the team leaders, who either deliberately make things difficult or deliberately find trouble. Since the internal guards are all old people, you can't tell the difference.  Just take action and fight to death! Those who were seriously injured in the first few times were almost all newcomers! If you internal guards had dealt with it fairly at the beginning, things would never have gotten to this point!  You're talking nonsense!" Zeng Yu jumped up with guilt.  "You newcomers don't obey the rules at all! You cut in line, litter, and steal things! Those who do these are all newcomers! Just for the stupid things you do, you deserve to be beaten!" "What did you say!" Liu Bin jumped.  stand up.  The inner guard's discriminatory policy towards newcomers has not changed for a day or two. He and Zeng Yu often had conflicts on weekdays. At this time, their anger was suddenly ignited.  He didn¡¯t care who was around him, grabbed the notebook in front of him and smashed it.  Zeng Yu lowered his head to avoid, jumped on the table and rushed towards him.  He is no longer the simple and dull college graduate, he has experienced so many thingsHe is in love and hangs out with a group of internal guards who act as police all day long. Not only does his temper become much hotter, but his skills are also getting better and better.  Liu Bin was no match for him, and his face was covered in blood with just one punch.  The people around him quickly pulled them away. Liu Bin looked at the big move, but in fact he almost didn't hit Zeng Yu a few times. Instead, Zeng Yu took advantage of the person pulling him not to pay attention, and punched Liu Bin a few more times.  "Everyone, stop it!" Li Mingfeng finally ran over.  "What do you look like!" he yelled loudly.  "Brother Li, you saw it, he was the one who made the move first!" Zeng Yu quickly retreated, knowing very well that Li Mingfeng would not do anything to him.  The interior defense must be in one's own hands, and right now, no one can replace him.  Liu Bin shouted angrily, but Liang Jin persuaded him and helped him stop the bleeding with the cotton balls he brought with him.  There have been so many fights recently that every doctor and nurse habitually carries some medical equipment with them.  "Liu Bin's nose may be broken." She whispered as she walked past Li Mingfeng, which made Li Mingfeng glare at Zeng Yu fiercely, but there was no other way.  Leng Su'an, Chu Zhongtian and the original management had already stood in a corner away from them. Leng Su'an and Chu Zhongtian had expressionless faces, while Wang Yuanzhen and Jun Youji had sneers on their faces, which made Li Mingfeng feel even more uncomfortable.  .  If Lin Chuan were here, absolutely no one would dare to do this. Zeng Yu would not dare to be so presumptuous, Liu Bin would not be so impulsive, and Leng Su'an and the others would not be able to watch from the sidelines.  But Lin Chuan rarely had time to stay at the base. In fact, the total time he stayed at the base in a day was less than four hours.  There were always too many supplies for him to find.  And the meeting couldn¡¯t be held with Lin Chuan present. In the eyes of all the old people, he was always too biased towards newcomers, which made them unwilling to ask any questions or cooperate with him in implementing any policies.  But Lin Chuan's idea is very clear. He believes that every survivor is equal. They were all equal residents of Jianghai before the disaster. The only difference is the time they came to the base. This should not be a reason for differential treatment.  Lin Chuan can accept using "his own people" as much as possible among management personnel, because this can reduce the internal friction caused by factional conflicts, but he is not willing to see anyone treat ordinary residents differently.  The relationship between him and the old residents of the base, which had finally improved during the work of accepting new people, became tense again.  This made Li Mingfeng feel powerless. The only thing he could feel relieved was that his relationship with Lin Chuan became closer when they faced pressure together.  Zeng Yu¡¯s words are correct. The newcomers do steal things a lot and do unruly things. They don¡¯t have any sense of belonging to the base yet, and the current atmosphere cannot give them any sense of belonging.  Most of them have empty hands when they come, and the base is unable to give them many things due to the current shortage of supplies. Faced with the personal belongings owned by the old people, many newcomers can't help but take action.  Such matters are difficult for home guards to handle, because most of the things taken away are of little value and inconspicuous, and it often takes a few days for the owner to find out that his things have appeared on a new person's bed.  One of the consequences of having supplies everywhere is that many boxes are secretly opened in the dead of night and all the edible items inside are taken away.  This situation is sometimes not discovered until the box is opened, and by then it is impossible to trace who stole the contents.  The internal guards with less than 200 people could not keep an eye on the entire base's supplies. Zhou Tao and Zeng Yu had been trying to catch one or two typical ones and repair them severely, but they had never succeeded.  The supplies department had nothing to do about it, because the theft of supplies started after the newcomers arrived, so everyone believed that it was the newcomers who did it.  Many dissatisfied internal guards deliberately spread this statement and encouraged the old people to monitor and deal with the newcomers. After a brief period of accepting their fate and being beaten, the newcomers soon began to fight back.  "Leng Su'an, do you have any idea?" Li Mingfeng asked.  Sure enough, as he expected, Leng Suan shook his head and replied: "I don't have any good solutions for the time being." After losing power, Leng Suan has been completely frozen. The same fate as him is also those who were favored by him.  They were originally elites selected from thousands of people in the base, but now they could only watch from the sidelines as the so-called "winners" clumsily made mistakes in management positions.  Leng Suan originally hoped that he could quickly show his outstanding abilities in front of Lin Chuan and then regain the opportunity to enter the management team, but Li Mingfeng did not consider any chance for him in the most difficult time.  His hostility and wariness towards Leng Suan and others were so obvious that Leng Suan easily identified himself.He becomes more and more deferential as he should have a proper attitude, but he will never make any suggestions before the problem becomes serious.  He quietly watched Li Mingfeng and others make mistakes, constantly making new plans based on the development of the problem. Although these plans would probably never be used, he firmly believed that one day Li Mingfeng would be beaten to death in the face of reality.  Flow, defeated.  And he will stand up at that time to clean up the mess and put everything back on track.  If there is no such day, he will go to hell with these plans and the base, but he will never take them out and share them with Li Mingfeng.  Li Mingfeng looked at him with undisguised disgust, while he smiled and lowered his head. Before the victory or defeat was determined, he would always keep his posture very low, which made Li Mingfeng feel like a dog biting a bastard towards him.  "Separate those who often cause trouble. The old people should go to the upper level, and the new people should go to the lower level. Don't touch other teams. Tell the team leaders to be optimistic about their own people. As long as there is a problem among the team members, they will be treated as the same crime." Li Mingfeng was unable to do anything in the end.  said.  When faced with racial vendetta in East Africa, the only solution was to completely separate the two tribes that hated each other. But at this moment, the opponents were obviously compatriots from the same city and the same identity. At this point, he had nothing to say.  ¡°Each department will submit a detailed report of the urgently needed supplies, and we will review them collectively.¡± He said to the people in the conference room.  The only thing the meeting can do is this. The final result of any problem analysis must be the lack of something. The root cause of the conflict between the old and new groups is the lack of living space, and the reason for the lack of living space is the lack of necessary building materials, machinery and auxiliary equipment.  He would use the opportunity to open up a new living area. If this idea continues, the list will be endless. Li Mingfeng can only try to find the most urgent and needed part every time and give it to Lin Chuan.  Everything will be fine when spring comes, he can only comfort himself again and again.  When spring comes, the number of monsters will inevitably decrease further, and at that time, people can be organized to go outside to find what they need, and everything will slowly get better.  It will be better to wait until spring.  He looked at the members of the management committee who were once again involved in a dispute and thought to himself.
