I tried to calm everyone's anger and said, "Zhao Gang, we have always faced difficulties together. Why did you do this?"
He gritted his teeth and replied, "I'm sorry, I was only thinking of my family's safety."
I sighed, feeling a bit disappointed. I understood his concerns, but in the face of disaster, only unity and cooperation could ensure our survival.
In the end, we did not pursue Zhao Gang's actions; we simply emphasized the importance of resource sharing. However, this incident created a crack in the trust between us.
Aside from internal issues, we also faced external threats. As time passed, other survivors began to eye our resources. They tried every means to seize our supplies, even resorting to violence.
To protect our families and resources, we had no choice but to strengthen our defenses against potential attacks. The Two Families took turns keeping watch, staying vigilant to prevent ambushes.
But as time went on, our pressure increased. The shortage of supplies and external threats forced us to reevaluate our cooperative relationship. Some outsiders also began to covet our resources.
One day, a stranger came to our shelter seeking help. He told us that his family was on the verge of starvation and hoped we could save them. His eyes were filled with despair and helplessness.
We began to struggle with whether or not to help him. If we helped him, we would deplete our own resources; but if we didn't help, we couldn't just stand by and watch innocent people die.
We decided to help him and gave him some food and water. His face flushed with excitement as he said through tears, "Thank you! You have saved our lives."
We simply nodded and didn't say much more.
We hope that such small acts of kindness can bring a touch of warmth and hope to this world. However, as time went on, we began to encounter more and more people seeking help. Some were sincere, some were cunning, and some even threatened us to take what they wanted by force. We had no choice but to start limiting the outflow of resources to ensure our own safety. This decision left us feeling helpless and heartbroken, but we had no better options.
The conflict between our two families also intensified. What started as minor frictions gradually developed into suspicion and distrust. We began to monitor each other, fearing that the other side might hoard resources. This atmosphere weighed heavily on our hearts, yet we had no alternative. To survive, we could only act this way.
As resources became increasingly scarce, we realized that this could not continue indefinitely. We had to make a change. Thus, our two families made a difficult decision. Some members voluntarily chose to give up a portion of their resources to ensure that others could survive. It was a life-and-death gamble, with each of us taking a risk. If we won the gamble, we could continue to live; if we lost, we would perish here.
Fortunately, we won the gamble. Just when we were about to reach our breaking point, an outside force found us. They brought food and water, as well as weapons and equipment. They told us they were a volunteer team that had been searching for lives in need of help. The people around us were deeply moved and saw hope in continuing on. They not only provided us with supplies but also helped us build better shelters.
We can finally breathe a sigh of relief and take a good rest.
