Chapter 175

Wen Zheng was matching the faces of these people with the people in his mind. One of them was the manager of the supermarket warehouse. The faces of the remaining few people were a little unfamiliar, but a closer look showed that they were more or less similar to his employees. They brought their relatives to steal things.

Facing the police's questioning, these people were somewhat uncomfortable. The first one to calm down was the supervisor of this staff member, who took the initiative to explain to the police: "Our boss is afraid of encountering thieves at night. After all, this is the situation now...so let us move the things to another warehouse for storage."

"Did your boss ask you to do it?" the police asked again.

"Yes."

"Yes, yes, it was our boss who notified us."

"He called us."

The rest of them recovered and hurriedly added in a flurry, anxious to let the police leave.

"I don't know when I told you?" Wen Zheng opened the car door and walked out of the car. The people in front of him were terrified when they saw Wen Zheng, and some even wanted to run away.

But the police here would not let them slip away in front of them. They were caught before they ran far, which was a confession. Looking at the guns on the police's waists, this group of people would not dare to do anything even if there were many of them.

The handcuffs they carried with them were not enough, so they called their colleagues on duty at the intersection to send someone to support them. Wen Zheng asked Tuan Tuan to stay in the car, and he went into the warehouse to walk around twice and looked inside the cars parked at the door.

The warehouse was more than half empty. Even if some of the supermarket shelves were replenished, it should not be so empty, and the things taken away from the vehicles were not enough.

Wen Zheng estimated that this group of people had already transported a batch of goods away, and after finding that he had not returned, they were still greedy and wanted to transport more. They wanted to take risks to steal things, and the final result would only be to deliver themselves to the hands of the police.

The calmest Lao Wang still wanted to quibble that he received the news from Wen Zheng, but the other party was fake and he was also deceived. But this explanation was not convincing, especially since several people's mobile phones had not completely deleted consumption records, and the accomplices who were called to steal things planned to hoard the goods and sell them at a high price later.

This was glaring evidence.

Seeing that there was no way to explain it, several people with weaker psychological defenses confessed on the spot that the mastermind of this matter was really Lao Wang, who was mainly responsible for managing the warehouse.

From the memory of the original body, Wen Zheng really couldn't see that Lao Wang would be so bold, and now he doubted whether the remaining supermarkets would encounter the same problem.

"Officer Zhang, Officer Song, thanks to you for sending us back this time, otherwise even if we found something wrong, we would not be their opponents. There is another batch of things in the warehouse that they have transported away, and we still need your help to find them back. When we find them, I will donate all of them to the police station. I will donate half of the things in the other warehouses, and I still need your help to check them."

"Isn't this a small amount?" The two policemen who drove them back were shocked.

"I'm sure things will get chaotic next, and I can't protect these things. I'll donate half, keep the remaining half for myself, and give the rest to the neighbors around me. If it weren't for them taking care of the business, I wouldn't have made it this far.

After confirming that Wen Zheng really wanted to donate, the two policemen reported the situation to their superiors, and their favorable impression of Wen Zheng and his son increased even more.

Several supermarkets run by Wen Zheng were raided at this time. There were employees who took the opportunity to cause trouble, and there were thieves who stole. Both of them were caught by the police.

The supporting police drove over , the sound of the police sirens that were not turned off attracted a lot of attention. Most people were in a hurry to buy and just glanced and walked away. The news of the volcanic eruption came, and there were accidents in too many places. Police cars could be seen everywhere, which was no longer strange to them.

Wen Zheng and Tuan Tuan got out of the car, and the few people who were caught got into the police car and sat in those seats. But they had silver handcuffs on their hands, and they would be escorted to the police station as prisoners.

The store manager in charge of all aspects of the supermarket ran to the back after receiving Wen Zheng's call. After hearing the situation, his face immediately became ugly. As a store manager, even if he did not participate in this matter, Failure to find out in time was also a sign of lax management.

Wen Zheng informed him of the donation and notified the managers of several other supermarkets. After a long struggle, he took Tuan Tuan into the warehouse to move some food and daily necessities. He put some of them into the space when no one was paying attention, and then went back to rest.

With the police helping to watch, it was difficult for thieves to visit the remaining things.

Taking the elevator to the sixth floor where they lived, Wen Zheng returned home and opened his phone, which he had ignored because the message was about to explode. According to the memory of his original body, he informed several friends and neighbors who had a good relationship with him that he had returned.

The next second, a phone call came in. Wen Zheng exchanged a few more pleasantries. After Wen Zheng said that he was tired and wanted to rest early, the other party hesitated and hoped to buy more things from Wen Zheng Supermarket, and then complained about how difficult it was to buy things. Wen Zheng hung up the phone immediately.

As soon as this one was hung up, another one rang. Tuan Tuan, who was tidying up the room, ran out and opened the door. He saw the neighbors who lived next door.

The neighbors next door were a couple in their teens. They had a daughter who was the same age as Tuan Tuan. The two were classmates, so the original body would often communicate with them about the child's situation and gradually became good friends.

After seeing Tuantuan open the door, Wen Zheng, who was on the phone, spoke from inside. The couple breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great that you can come back safely, Xiaoling. Thanks to your father for sending us a message about the volcanic eruption, my family has stockpiled some supplies in advance."

The woman handed over the thermos bucket in her hand: "We estimated that you wouldn't have much to eat on your way back, so we stewed some soup in advance. We just served it when we knew you were back. Eat it while it's hot."

Wen Zheng hung up the phone of another person who cared about the supermarket, turned his phone to silent, stopped facing the call, and went out to face the couple. At least when they were face to face, the couple's expressions were about Wen Zheng took the thermos bucket and thanked him.

"My Miaomiao is still worried about Xiaoling, but it's too late and she fell asleep first." The couple smiled and said goodbye to Wen Zheng, "You've been tossing all the way back, hurry up and eat and rest, call us if you need any help, we both asked for two days off at home."

The door closed again, Wen Zheng put the thermos bucket on the dining table and opened it, with rice on top and chicken soup on the bottom. The hot food was obviously better than the food they brought back, so the two of them didn't cook anymore and finished all the food.

"After drinking the chicken soup sent by others, if the little girl next door comes to play with you tomorrow, don't be impatient." Wen Zheng drank half a bowl of soup and smiled.

"I know, Dad, I'm just coaxing a little kid to play." Tuantuan buried his head and continued to eat.

Wen Zheng couldn't help but smile again. Tuantuan, who was sitting on a high stool and shaking his feet, said that a girl who was actually taller than Tuantuan in his memory was a child, which made Tuantuan look even cuter.

Wen Zheng went to the bathroom to wash off his tiredness, then turned on his phone. After he sent a text message about resting, he received several more calls, but they stopped because no one answered.

A room that hadn't been occupied for a while was inevitably covered in dust, so Wen Zheng and Tuantuan cleaned a bedroom. The two simply stayed in the same room, bought two bottles of body enhancers from the system store, drank them first, and then fell asleep.

Wen Zheng turned his phone to silent mode before going to bed. He turned it on when he woke up naturally the next day and saw a string of missed calls. There was no important call in it, so Wen Zheng didn't reply. He packed himself up and took Tuantuan out, bought a new mobile phone card first, and bought a mobile phone for Tuantuan before continuing to go out for a walk.

Compared with the deserted mobile phone stores, there are long queues in front of supermarkets. Many stores have temporarily raised their prices. Even if the government wants to control it, it is difficult to control it. After all, it is not a disaster that can be solved in one or two years.

According to the experts' speculation in this morning's news, even if it takes ten or eight years, the subsequent impact of the Leland volcanic eruption may not completely disappear.

The entire planet will undergo tremendous changes.

Just forty-eight hours after the Leland volcanic eruption, the pictures transmitted by the satellite could only see thick volcanic ash floating in the sky, and the current situation of Lika could not be seen at all. The United Nations officially announced the demise of Lika.

Half a year ago, no one dared to think that this country only had less than half a year left, let alone imagine that they would perish in this way.

Then, countries A and B, which are not far from Lika, are small countries near the sea. After facing the earthquake and tsunami caused by the volcanic explosion, they sank into the sea and were also declared extinct by the United Nations. The citizens who escaped from these two countries have since lost their countries and become people without identity.

However, half a month after the eruption of the Leland volcano, the vice president of Lika suddenly made a statement on the Internet, saying that even though most of Lika's land was destroyed, Lika had not perished. They still had a piece of territory in the chaotic tropical region, where they would build a new country and welcome all stateless people to join them.

All the problems that Lika had after the eruption of the Leland volcano were pushed onto the original president and some officials who had no news of them. The original vice president became the new president and his statement shocked the world.

Some people couldn't help but suspect that Lika had known that the Leland volcano was going to erupt. After all, they used to claim that there were always people observing nearby. The eruption of the volcano could not be stopped, and the demise of Lika was a foreseeable problem.

Therefore, the government of Lika did not want to lose its current international status, so it concealed the news and did not leak it. At the same time, it sent people to find new territory after the eruption of the Leland volcano and began to prepare, so that the rest of the countries would be unprepared for the sudden eruption of the volcano.

The new Lika firmly opposed this kind of conspiracy theory and produced evidence of the rapid eruption of the Leland volcano, but no one believed it because it could be faked. The voices of international condemnation of Lika reached a peak, but because everyone was busy resisting the impending disaster, there was actually nothing they could do. Some people who wanted to destroy their own country chose to join the new Lika.

In fact, most of the people who strongly condemned on the Internet were ordinary people. Each country was more concerned about its own situation. In the face of Lika's actions, at least before knowing that their country was about to be destroyed by a volcano, they did not launch a nuclear attack with the idea of ​​​​global destruction, at least they still retained a trace of humanity.

The Xia government completely put the international disputes behind them. For a whole month, all government departments were working non-stop, with almost no time to rest, and they barely managed to temporarily maintain the domestic order to a stable stage.

Wen Zheng could also see the changes around him during this period. The first half of the month after he came back was getting more and more chaotic, and he might encounter robbery when walking on the road. Later, the government vigorously controlled and used severe laws in troubled times. Anyone who was determined to have committed intentional homicide was sentenced to death, and the most serious criminals with conclusive evidence of causing the death and serious injuries of more than a dozen people were found and tried and executed at the fastest speed.

Although such actions led to some discussion among the people, the effect was obvious, and social order was gradually maintained.

The market was taken over by the state.

After learning that there would be a disaster that would last for many years, countless merchants holding goods began to take the opportunity to make profits. At the beginning, the price was set several times or dozens of times higher than before. The government was too busy to have time to regulate these profiteers who took advantage of the disaster to make money. Later, people found that after the currency gradually lost its effectiveness, they no longer collected money, but collected valuable equivalents, especially gold.

Faced with these high costs, the people in the upper echelons began to calm down and look at the money they spent before thinking about whether it was worth it.

The government, which finally had time to spare, took direct action to control the market. Those who dared to resist the government would sell goods at sky-high prices for profit in the past period of time. Once they were checked, they would not be able to escape the punishment they deserved.

All commodity circulation is under government control. According to the population, each person sells a limited amount of materials every day. For the time being, they will be paid with Xiaguo currency. A new universal currency may be issued in the future, but there is no time to study it now.

After all kinds of chaos were briefly controlled, all official channels for releasing news reminded everyone to start dealing with the imminent disaster. Food, water and soil must be stored in advance, and all people should grow vegetables and fruits indoors.

Not only can they be used for their own consumption, but they can also be sold to the government. The government will carry out unified dehydration and air drying to store as many plants as possible.

Wen Zheng had already donated half of the supermarket's inventory to the government, but he first placed a lot of water, clothing, and various necessities of life in his personal space.

The five supermarkets were all large in size. Each of them only collected a portion of the goods, and Wen Zheng's portable space was filled with more than half. There were too many people rushing to buy supplies in those days, and there were also thefts and employees buying on their own. Some of the numbers did not match, but no one would pursue them.

When the government came to take away half of the goods, it was when the nearby merchants were collectively raising prices. Wen Zheng found the old customers who had registered in the supermarket a long time ago and had been shopping all the time, and directly sent text messages to notify the time, and sold one-tenth of the remaining inventory to them at a normal price.

Such a move made many people around scold Wen Zheng for being stupid, but more old customers who were taken care of were willing to protect Wen Zheng. In addition, Wen Zheng's business was developed little by little with their own eyes, and they felt closer to Wen Zheng in their hearts.

However, the customers who were not notified to come to buy and the colleagues who sold at high prices all disliked Wen Zheng, especially the latter, and even found someone to cause trouble for Wen Zheng privately. However, as the key care object of the police, these small actions were often sent to the police station at the beginning.

Later, no one dared to move.

Wen Zheng looked at the remaining two-thirds of the goods, counted the number of employees working honestly in the supermarket, and gave them a portion as a welfare, kept a portion for himself, and sold the rest to everyone at a normal price. Even though the quantity is relatively small, Wen Zheng did not raise the price, so those who benefited from it illegally said bad things about him.

Some people also asked Wen Zheng why he wanted to do this. Even if he raised the price five times, he would be considered conscientious, and people around him would still praise him.

Wen Zheng shook his head: "In the face of such a disaster, how much use can money have? I believe that the country will not let the people use money to buy the possibility of survival." At least in every disaster world he experienced, even if there were rotten parts, but in general, the country he belonged to would never give up ordinary people easily.

It's just that many people laughed at Wen Zheng's naivety after hearing his remarks. At least with money, they can prepare more things to make themselves live better and live comfortably.

Wen Zheng no longer refuted these statements, and took Tuantuan to prepare on his own.

There were not many fresh ingredients in the supermarket warehouse, so Wen Zheng found the connections he had when he opened the supermarket, and used the money and some supplies in his hand to exchange for fresh meat, fruits and vegetables, and filled up the remaining space with a lot of them.

The people Wen Zheng found raised the price of the goods to some extent, but someone heard about Wen Zheng's decision during this period and sold it to Wen Zheng at a normal price. Wen Zheng remembered this friend.

After the supplies were stored, several supermarkets became empty. The houses used by these supermarkets, the one close to the residential area, was bought by Wen Zheng after he had money, and the rest were rented for years, and now there are two years left.

So even if the landlord wanted to take it back, it was impossible. Wen Zheng used the supplies to hire someone to renovate the house. As a result, the old customers who had sold it at a low price before came to help for free, and did not ask for anything. The shelves for selling goods were renovated, the soil that the government stipulated that could be excavated in the wild was transported, and more lights were installed in the house, and all the supermarkets were transformed into plantations.

Sprinkle the fastest growing seeds on the soil, and start to store water in the supermarket as much as possible. When the seeds sprout and grow two leaves, the country issues an emergency notice.

Acid rain caused by volcanic eruptions is about to fall on the territory of Xia.
