Chapter 295 Domineering
Food, after all, is still food.
In the apocalypse, food shortage is a crisis for everyone, it is just a matter of sooner or later. If farming cannot be resumed, sooner or later the food crisis will come.
It's just that the aliens killed most of the people, which allowed the survivors to use more reserves to survive the initial difficulties, especially the Kandahar Air Force Base.
Kandahar Air Force Base originally had enough food reserves to feed 3,400 people for two months, but after the number of people was reduced to almost one-fifth, this period could be extended to at least ten months, or even a year.
Having said this, Gao Yuan asked Andrew curiously: "What is your food? How long can it be stored? And are there any storage conditions?"
Andrew nodded and said: "Our food supplies are mainly finished products and semi-finished products. Some emergency military food, such as field rations, have not been touched yet. Food that is perishable should be eaten first. Food suitable for long-term storage in the freezer.
You can eat slowly. We still have field rations for 2,000 people, about 4,000 pounds of flour, 1,000 pounds of potatoes, and 500 pounds of meat. These are the main food reserves. But now
Air transportation has been completely cut off, and it is impossible for Lu Yuan to do so. In fact, no one will send us food anymore."
More than four hundred people have eaten for so long and still have so much food left. It seems that Kandaha still has a lot of reserves.
Gao Yuan whispered: "Is it possible to search for food outside?"
To put it bluntly, it was just to grab. Gao Yuan felt that given the character of these American soldiers, it would be strange not to want to grab a handful when they realized that the food would soon be exhausted.
Andrew was silent for a while, then he spread his hands and said: "Well, what should I say about this problem? We have tried several times, but after finding that the costs far outweighed the benefits, we gave up the idea, and you can see the current situation.
When we arrive, there are always small groups of terrorists attacking us outside, which makes it very dangerous for us to go out."
Speaking of harassment, Gao Yuan immediately said: "So how is the security situation?"
Andrew waved his hands casually a few times and said: "The enemy can't get in, and we can't get out. It's like this now, but the enemy harasses us every day with mortars and rocket launchers, occasionally causing casualties. Basically,
That’s it.”
Pan Xin suddenly said from the side: "So do you still have enough vehicles and fuel?"
Andrew laughed, and then he said with a serious face: "We have enough oil to maintain the normal operation of this base for half a year. I am talking about the past, but now, except for the necessary power supply, all other power has been stopped, and diesel is left for
We use aviation kerosene for generators and combat vehicles. In addition, we have a lot of aviation kerosene, so whether it is for heating or lighting, we now burn aviation kerosene and use aviation kerosene for everything."
This is a military airport. There are many, many planes, so naturally there is a large amount of fuel reserves. No wonder the soldiers use oil barrels to light fires for lighting, because they have too much aviation kerosene to use up.
Pan Xin paid more attention to military issues. He continued: "So who are the people besieging you?"
Andrew shrugged and said with a look of disgust: "Who? Of course they are the Afohan people."
"I mean what kind of armed faction are they?"
"Ha, there are all kinds of people, as long as they are Afokhan people. Now that they are all here, they want to completely wipe us out here and kill us all, but they can't rush in and kill us all, so they
I can only keep harassing people outside and keep harassing them."
Andrew began to gnash his teeth, and then he exhaled and said: "These barbarians don't give us a chance to leave. In fact, we tried to leave this hellish place, but the plane couldn't be used, so we could only leave by land. Okay,
Even if we can't return to the United States, we can go to Europe, but the damn Afohan people won't let us leave. Even if we leave Afohan, there will still be Persia blocking the road."
It is impossible to return to the United States from Kandahar, but the Eurasian continent is connected. It is certainly no problem to return to Europe by land. After all, many soldiers here are Europas. However, looking around, the United States and its allies find that they are surrounded by enemies.
There is not even a reliable road.
Leaving Afohan, heading west is Persia. This is basically unnecessary. Persia cannot let these hundreds of people leave. Going north, we will first reach the five Central Asian countries. The problem here is not too big, but in the end Andrew and the others must pass through Russia.
It is hard to say whether the Russians would let them leave.
The two roads going west and north are basically blocked. Even excluding the influence of Zhengzhi, it is hard to say whether the hostile people along the way will take advantage of the situation and rob it.
There is no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, the enemy is harassing us every day, our companions are dying one by one, the motherland is too far away to return, and aliens may attack us again at any time.
If Gao Yuan and the people in the Kandaha base are also crazy, because there is no hope at all, there seems to be no other way out except waiting to die, or until they die in battle.
But now, since the Spark Team is here, it is a shot in the arm for Andrew and the others. Not to mention whether they can go home, even if the world is not completely destroyed, it is still a great joy.
This welcome dinner, which could not be called a banquet, turned out to be very unpleasant, because there was no grudge between the two parties, but there was deep prejudice among these people.
After knowing the general situation, there was no point in staying any longer, so Gao Yuan stood up and said: "Colonel Andrew, thank you very much for your hospitality. Now we have some things to discuss. We will leave now. If you have time in the afternoon,
I’ll talk to you alone, that’s it.”
Gao Yuan stretched out his hand to Andrew. Andrew was surprised, but he still reached out and shook Gao Yuan's hand.
Gao Yuan's current behavior can be said to be very rude and overbearing. In the past, only Americans would do this, but Chinese people would never be so overbearing, which made Andrew a little uncomfortable.
Gao Yuan stood up, and the others immediately followed. Before Gao Yuan turned to leave, he suddenly remembered something, and then he said to Andrew: "We have to solve the current predicament, at least eliminate external threats, so let's go back and study what to do.
, let’s talk alone in the afternoon, goodbye.”
Andrew said: "No, now, uh, okay..."
Andrew really wanted to ask Gao Yuan what kind of help he could provide them, but now the situation was stronger than the human. Although they were playing at home, Gao Yuan and the others had the most critical information resources.
