If this continued, normal survivors would have nothing to find even if they spend all their time scavenging.
The military was trying to accumulate as many supplies as possible so that they could have a way to feed the survivors once they joined the military bases.
In fact, they were not just collecting food, they were also collecting other supplies including clothes, blankets, shoes, mattresses, and especially daily necessities.
Medicine and other health-related supplies were also transported to the location of the bases and that included heavy equipment used in the ICU.
It looked like the government had finally come to their senses and decided that food and water weren't the only basics that people needed to survive the apocalypse.
The problem is that the more they collected, the less was left for the ordinary citizens, but no one was complaining.
