SRTT Chapter 31.1

After the water flow was no longer so turbulent, everyone noticed that a kind of algae had grown in the water.

At first, no one dared to touch this thing, after all, the water was quite dirty. Now all kinds of garbage were thrown into the water, and there were also many corpses.

Until someone was extremely hungry, and with the idea of ​​dying of starvation, he grabbed a handful of algae and took it back home to cook and eat it.

The result was just diarrhea and was cured after a while.

The algae in the water could be eaten, and then it quickly spread among the crowd.

Although it would cause diarrhea, the stomach and intestines would get used to it after two meals. Besides, this thing was plant-based, so it could supplement vitamins, right?

It was better than starving to death.

After eating instant noodles, compressed biscuits, and porridge for a long time, everyone was craving green ‘vegetables’.

The algae became very popular overnight.

Every day before dawn, everyone went out to look for the algae. If they went too late, it would be gone.

Fortunately, this thing has an amazing reproductive ability. It could grow fresh ones overnight.

In addition, it rained for too long, causing the air to be humid, so mushrooms also grew in the corridor.

These mushrooms were more popular than algae and could give neighbors a headache.

Cheng Jili and her brother would take turns picking algae every day, and Ruan Ning would go with them. The Cheng siblings would make dried vegetables out of the uneaten ones to prevent all algae from being picked up one day and extinct.

Cheng Jikuan had a strong sense of crisis. He would go out alone every day, go a little further to find some furniture planks, or chop some tree branches and trunks.

After getting them back, he would give some to Ruan Ning, asking her to keep them first for a backup if the liquefied gas tank ran out and the order could not be restored.

After such a period of time, the second food distribution finally arrived.

Last time, only a few compressed biscuits were distributed, and many families had already eaten them all. They had to rely on boiled algae in watery soup to survive every day and counted on their fingers every day how long it would take for supplies to be distributed again.

Early in the morning of this day, people went out early to pick up the algae and then stared at the sky eagerly.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the sound of a helicopter was finally heard in the sky. Everyone rushed up and surrounded the top floor.

Yan Ruoxue did not come this time, only the young male police officer came. He also brought good news.

“The government has decided to collect algae. Twenty catties of algae can be exchanged for one catty of compressed biscuits, which is five pieces.”

“And forty catties of algae can be exchanged for one catty of rice.”

When hearing the word rice, many people secretly swallowed their saliva.

In normal times, when there were vegetables, meat, and abundant oil and water, people couldn’t eat much rice at all. But without vegetables and meat, the rice bags quickly ran out.

Almost every household had eaten up the little that was stockpiled before the rainstorm.

“Then, where can we exchange it?” Someone asked quickly.

The young policeman replied: “In the future, a big ship will come to collect algae every day, and it will arrive at your community at about 11 o’clock in the morning.”

“That’s great! I can exchange it for rice, so I can make some thick porridge for my child.” A mother said while crying.

Everyone was delighted, but some people didn’t even listen and rushed down to grab the algae.
