Chapter 302 - 295 Domineering
Food, it always comes down to food.
In the apocalypse, a shortage of food is a crisis for anyone, just a matter of time. If farming can’t be restored, a food crisis will inevitably arrive sooner or later.
It’s just that the aliens killed most of the people, allowing the survivors to use more reserves to get through the initial difficulties, especially at Kandahar Air Base.
Originally, Kandahar Air Base had enough food reserves for 3400 people for two months, but with the number reduced to about one-fifth, that period could be extended to at least ten months, or even a year.
Speaking of which, Gao Yuan asked Andrew curiously, "What kind of food do you have? How long can it be stored? And do you have storage conditions?"
Andrew nodded and said, "Our food supplies consist mainly of finished and semi-finished products, some emergency military rations. For instance, our field rations have not been touched till now. We eat perishables first, slowly consume the items suitable for long-term storage in the freezer. Right now, we still have enough field rations for two thousand servings, about four thousand pounds of flour, a thousand pounds of potatoes, and five hundred pounds of meat. These are our main food reserves. However, air transport has been completely cut off and getting supplies over land is impossible. In reality, no one is going to bring us food anymore."
Having lasted so long for over four hundred people and still having this much left, it seems Kandahar’s reserves are quite substantial.
Gao Yuan whispered, "Is there any possibility of going out to search for food?"
