Chapter 236 Was the Space Exposed?

After finishing breakfast, Xia Yuhuan sat down to rest for a while.

She saw other people who had come to have breakfast.

Everyone looked tired.

But none of them were afraid of the food running out.

These days are not like the future. Fast food is not widespread, and it's impossible to rely on instant noodles or similar emergency foods like in the future.

There's nothing to eat right now, so we'll have to rely on wild grass roots, tree bark, or other wild game.

However, the area has just experienced a major earthquake, and the surrounding mountains and environment have been severely damaged, making these items difficult to find.

After resting, Xia Yuhuan left the tent on her own initiative.

Afterwards, she once again traversed the disaster area following the earthquake to help search for and rescue the injured.

Although it was only her second day there, Xia Yuhuan had spent a lot of time participating in the search and rescue yesterday, so the soldiers involved in the search and rescue all knew her.

They respected her and admired her medical skills, but they were not polite when they asked her for help.

In such an emergency, social niceties are of no use whatsoever; the only right thing to do is to hurry up and save lives.

Xia Yuhuan naturally understood this principle, so she didn't hesitate at all when it came to saving people.

But she did not forget the purpose of her trip.

So even though she was rescuing people, she was also constantly moving towards the edge of the ruins.

She needed to find a place to store the grain in order to ensure a food supply.

While rescuing people, Xia Yuhuan moved to the side and finally found a suitable place to store grain, similar to a cellar.

That place was also a collapse site, with three sides covered by debris.

Only a small opening was left.

Xia Yuhuan used her flashlight to shine inside.

Seeing that there was no one inside, I immediately felt relieved.

Then, she reached her hand into the hole and used her mind to control the space, pouring rice into it.

Actually, there was hulled rice in the space, but she didn't dare to put it there.

Storing rice in a cellar can be considered storage, but storing whole grains is very suspicious.

Who would be so kind as to store milled rice in a cellar?

Even rice was mostly stored in granaries.

She had no choice but to settle for second best.

The collapsed space was quite large. After putting in some rice, Xia Yuhuan added a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

These are all staple foods; if eaten together, they can last for several days.

Then, Xia Yuhuan added some more cabbage.

They are all stacked according to variety.

She only stopped when she reached the very top of the room.

If there weren't limited spaces here, she could have put even more.

After all, this kind of thing can't be done often. Although she wanted to help and save people, she didn't want to harm herself.

Therefore, she has to be extremely cautious about doing things that could potentially reveal her existence.

Just as Xia Yuhuan finished putting her things away and felt relieved, she heard someone call her from behind.

"Dr. Xia, what are you doing lying there?"

When Xia Yuhuan heard Zhou Shizui's voice, the hairs on her body stood on end, and she tensed up completely.

She never expected that Zhou Shizui would see her doing this.

When did he get behind her? And what did he see?

No, even if Zhou Shizui were standing behind her, he probably wouldn't be able to see anything.

The opening was small, but the collapsed space inside was quite large; she had carefully chosen it to store things.

The opening was so small that she could completely cover it up if she leaned in.

So Zhou Shizui could only see her lying there, but he definitely couldn't see her putting things inside.

Don't panic, everything's alright, you haven't been exposed at all.

Xia Yuhuan calmed herself down before withdrawing her hand, standing up, and turning to look at Zhou Shizui.

Her face was pale, but she smiled and said, "Dr. Zhou, you've come to this side for the search and rescue too."

"Yes, I didn't expect to run into Dr. Xia, what a coincidence."

Zhou Shizu smiled, walked towards Xia Yuhuan, and asked her.

"Dr. Xia, what were you doing lying there just now? Were there any injured people at that collapse site?"

Xia Yuhuan was about to say something when she suddenly saw Fang Hao not far away.

She quickly jumped up and waved to Fang Hao, "Captain Fang, come here quickly, I need your help."

Upon hearing Xia Yuhuan's call, Fang Hao led his three men over without hesitation.

"Dr. Xia, what's wrong? Have you found any wounded?" Fang Hao walked over, wiped the water off his face, and asked.

Xia Yuhuan quickly shook her head and said, "It's not an injured person. We accidentally discovered a cellar. It seems to contain a lot of grain, but it's been crushed quite badly. I don't know if we can get it out."

Fang Hao's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this: "You've found grain? Where?"

Isn't this the perfect opportunity to deliver a pillow to someone who's just about to fall asleep?

He was worried about how to solve the food shortage.

Xia Yuhuan called Fang Hao over and led him to the opening where she had been lying down.

She turned on the flashlight and handed it to Fang Hao.

"Captain Fang, it's right here. Lie down and take a look."

Fang Hao immediately went to look as Xia Yuhuan instructed.

Fang Hao was overjoyed when he saw that there were potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cabbage inside.

"That's great!" Fang Hao stood up and said happily.

"I didn't expect you to be so observant, Dr. Xia, that you discovered such a hidden cellar with so much food. We can definitely survive for the next few days."

Xia Yuhuan smiled and said, "I was worried that there might be wounded people trapped inside, so I peeked inside with a flashlight and didn't expect there to be so much food."

"Dr. Xia, you have done a great service. With so much food, we can last until the supplies arrive."

Zhou Shizui, who was standing to the side, said in surprise, "So Dr. Xia found the grain. I was wondering what you were doing lying here. I thought you had found the wounded."

Xia Yuhuan smiled and said, "We found some grain, but I believe that if Dr. Zhou had come over first, with his keen eye, he would have definitely found it too."

After speaking, Xia Yuhuan looked at Fang Hao and said, "The collapse here is very serious, and the other three sides are covered up, so it won't be easy to get the food out. I'll have to trouble Captain Fang and the other soldiers."

"I can't help here, so I'll continue searching for the wounded."

"Okay, Dr. Xia, don't worry, leave this to me, no problem," Fang Hao said earnestly.

"When you are searching for the wounded, please be careful and prioritize your own safety. If you find anything, please call our soldiers immediately."

Because the collapsed area is too large and the area requiring search and rescue is too vast, it's impractical to have someone follow Xia Yuhuan around all the time, and it would be a waste of manpower.

However, their search and rescue teams searched in groups, so the distance between them was not far. As long as they shouted, someone nearby would definitely come to their aid quickly.

Therefore, Fang Hao felt at ease letting Xia Yuhuan go to search and rescue on her own.

However, there is also the risk of secondary collapse or aftershocks, so caution is still advised to avoid accidents.

"Okay, Captain Fang, you go ahead with your work, I'll continue looking for people."

After saying goodbye to Fang Hao, Xia Yuhuan continued to search for and rescue the wounded.
