Although the densely populated areas are experiencing relatively difficult living conditions, the management is relatively good.
Even so, people are more critical of those who have already fallen ill, but they too are victims of the super-virus.
They and even their families are being ostracized.
Society is beginning to show its indifference and darkness, which has led many to have a desire for revenge, and so some have deliberately infected others or concealed the fact that they are ill.
Because they do not receive help, or feel that they are not within the scope of assistance, some people have had outbreaks of deliberate infection, making this group even more avoided and hated by others.
The contradictions are becoming more and more intense, and there is no solution.
At this time, life in the rural areas is relatively easier, but they are more likely to be in an area without supervision or management.
In this case, a few households or people of the same surname and same village can still unite and resist the outside world.
The ostracism in the village is more severe, they are more afraid of the virus, and they are also more cruel to the infected.
Since they are all human, both the cities and the countryside are excluding and suppressing the places where cases appear, even wanting them to perish on their own, so the patients will carry out self-destructive programs.
Both in the cities and in the rural areas, there is unrest due to the super-virus.
Social order has begun to deteriorate, and it is not just in this one place, for example, there are thefts in supermarkets and shops, although they don't dare to do evil deeds openly in public, but they will steal or rob in some places where surveillance cannot see or in the shadows.
The social environment has become very bad, and things that are not allowed to be done openly, someone will do them secretly.
Social order has regressed more than a decade, back to the security description of that era that the elders told them.
Wen Qian heard this from the radio, and this is just the domestic situation, as for the foreign countries, they should have already taken up arms.
This is actually the situation that Wen Qian was most worried about, because the reason she left the city and the village was exactly this.
She is not a person who likes to cooperate with others, and the people who have a blood relationship with her abandoned her long before she was born.
If it's during a natural disaster, then they are most likely to cause her trouble.
Other relationships are not as solid, and it's better to be alone than to be vigilant all the time when gathered together.
This is also one of the reasons she left.
The new year has arrived, but now the people understand that the past days are gone, and the days they are about to experience may be more difficult than they imagine.
Wen Qian still prepared the same dinner as in previous years, sitting by the warm stove and eating.
Apart from occasionally going to the mountains to listen to the radio and observe the surrounding environment, she spends the rest of the time at home, still reading, learning self-defense skills.
She also has a book on handicrafts, and she takes out the plastic packaging she collected before and weaves baskets for herself.
Since she's idle anyway, it's a good choice to occupy herself.
This attempt succeeded, and she also took out her carpentry tools to make and polish arrow shafts and spears.
She had purchased complete arrows and separate metal arrowheads, but the arrow shafts need to be made by herself, and of course the more the better.
She had previously assembled a crossbow and bought a lot of arrowheads, so she also needs more arrow shafts to match the crossbow arrowheads.
She has traditional weapons, and she should also have modern weapons, the homemade guns she originally bought and the accessories she later assembled are also there.
It's just that she always hides them in her space, and she rarely even thinks about them, because up to now she has been very guilty, except for the initial test use in the mountains, she has always pretended they don't exist.
She is a person who likes to have backup items and backup plans, so the quantity prepared is not just one, it may be two, three, or even more.
She has tried her best not to attract anyone's attention, so she has hidden them until now.
Although she was anxious during the preparation process, in the end, she still got everything ready.
By the time she arrived in Xia Province, among the things she had purchased online were body bags.
Perhaps because of Wen Qian's rich imagination, she even considered this.
This is also one of the reasons she dares to live here alone.
Of course, unless it is absolutely necessary, she will not take out any of these things.
With the gradually turbulent situation, the punishment has also become more severe, and the so-called "use harsh laws in chaotic times" should be like this.
Wen Qian keeps away from the crowd, if there are wild animals or people who want to attack her, even if she is harmed, it may not be discovered, let alone punishment.
If problems arise, she has to find a way to solve them herself, and there are many ways to solve them, but she will not use the most extreme solution until the end.
It will be very difficult for her to leave this place and go to a place with people, and others probably won't come here if they don't have to.
So far, the turbulence in society has not affected her, which is the best news for her.
If it stays this way, perhaps she can live here alone until the end of the world.
She may be able to peacefully get through the volcanic winter and wait until the earth is reborn.
According to the original seasonal pattern, winter should gradually pass, but when Wen Qian looked around the environment and the distant snow-capped mountains, there were no signs of spring.
As time passed, it was still cold in May.
The temperature has risen slightly, but the green in the distance is still not visible.
Wen Qian sat in a tree listening to the radio, looking at the branches around her, and saw that there were signs of buds starting to sprout, so it seems that spring should be coming soon, just a little later than usual.
On the radio, other places are the same, even if it's not snowing, it's raining or foggy, so you can't see a sunny day.
Only the tropical regions can still have enough sunlight to grow crops, and that's good news, at least this information gives some hope to those who can hear it.
Students' ideal path has changed from going to university and then finding a good job after graduation, to now striving to become a contributor to the volcanic winter.
After a long winter, many elderly people have passed away.
Winter has always been a challenge for the elderly, let alone the winter after the volcanic eruption.
However, looking at it from a different angle, they no longer have to suffer in the turbulent, gloomy, and hungry days to come, so it can also be seen as a good thing for them.
This winter, the death toll overseas is also very high, due to the severe cold, unrest, the virus, and some people dying of starvation.
In some parts of the world, there may have been crop failures for several years, and now they are also caught in the volcanic winter, so it's even worse.
As time goes on, the main causes of death are probably just the severe cold, the virus, and starvation.
