Apocalyptic Natural Disasters: I Have a Capsule House

On the tenth day of the apocalypse, Su Keke was forcibly driven out of her home by her adoptive parents and sister. The reason was to reduce one person's consumption of supplies, even though Su...

Chapter 237 Official Second Rescue

Chen Da said that Chen Li and Meng Yi woke up this morning and asked about Su Keke and Grandma Qiao!

"Really? That's great!" Su Keke and the other person were very happy to hear that.

The three of them finished their lunch quickly. Grandma Qiao asked Chen Da to bring two thermos bottles, saying that it would be better for the patient to drink more boiled water.

She was carrying a large insulated bag containing lunch for Lu Mei and others.

Su Keke also took some fruits such as bananas, pears, cherries, and grapes and packed them into several bags before going out.

When we arrived at tent No. 6, Stationmaster Lu and Minister Li were talking inside.

It is said that he was arranged by his superiors to come and see Chen Li and Meng Yi, and by the way, he also wanted to understand the situation when the aftershock occurred.

Just when I asked them how they escaped, Su Keke and the other two entered the tent.

Su Keke knew both Lu Yuan and Li Zheng. One was during the rash virus, and the other was during the acid rain. Su Keke had dealt with them before. They were all acquaintances, and everyone nodded and greeted them.

As for how they escaped, Chen Li and Meng Yi said they had no idea and that they were both unconscious at the time.

A lot was said about the situation when the aftershocks occurred and before.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Lu Yuan and Li Zheng told Chen Li and Meng Yi to take good care of their injuries, and then left in a hurry.

"Keke! I know it was you and Grandma Qiao who saved us. Thank you so much! From now on, you and Grandma Qiao are Chen Li and I's second parents!"

After Lu Yuan and Li Zheng left, Meng Yi thanked Su Keke and Grandma Qiao very sincerely.

"Don't! I can't accept having a son as old as you two all of a sudden!"

Su Keke waved her hands in a joking manner, then changed the subject, asking them to eat quickly as the food was getting cold.

"Keke! When I was in a trance, I seemed to see an excavator? Where did you get the excavator?"

Meng Yi's sudden question made Su Keke's head buzz.

"Excavator? Where did an excavator come from among the rubble after the earthquake? You must have seen it wrong!"

Su Keke quickly denied it, "You two weren't buried very deep at the time, and Grandma Qiao and I dug you out with a shovel."

"I just remember that we were buried for a very long time, and it was pitch black all around. Fortunately, Meng Yi was with me, otherwise I would have been scared to death! But come to think of it, Keke! How did you know where we were buried? It can't be such a coincidence that you dug and found the exact location!"

Chen Li was eating the banana that Su Keke brought over. His seemingly casual question actually brought up the questions of Lu Mei and the others.

That's right! They searched the ruins for a long time but didn't find any clues.

Su Keke was speechless for a moment when asked. She couldn't say that she had a capsule house and found them using a life detector!

Alas! Su Keke sighed in her heart. She had to start making up stories again. After telling a lie, she had to use many more lies to cover it up. Just thinking about it made her feel tired.

"It's Tangyuan! Let me tell you, my Tangyuan's nose is sharper than a police dog! Chen Li, did you have to give me that red scarf for the New Year's dinner? I let Tangyuan smell the scent on the scarf and found you in such a huge ruin. In fact, Tangyuan is your life-saving cat!"

After Su Keke finished speaking, she looked at everyone with a half-smile, thinking, how could this excuse be so ridiculous? Even she herself thought Tangyuan was amazing!

"Tang...Tangyuan is so awesome!" Chen Li was amazed.

Lu Mei and the others were also stunned when they heard this. They had heard of police dogs finding people by smelling the scent, but it was amazing that a cat could also find people in the same way!

"We have to thank Tangyuan for that. This little guy is not only good-looking but also very capable! I will make him some delicious hand-shredded chicken breast later!"

Lu Mei was so happy that she almost rushed to the villa and hugged Tangyuan tightly.

Shi Huan's eyes lit up as well, and she said that she had always felt that Tang Yuan was not an ordinary cat. However, Chen Da and Meng Yi found this incredible, as if it were a made-up story, a bit fantasy.

"Alright! Why so many whys? Aren't you hungry? Come on and eat!"

Grandma Qiao quickly spoke up and asked people to take out all the food in the thermos bags and feed them. If they kept asking about this, it would be easy to be exposed.

"Yes, yes! Let's eat first! Aunt Qiao made pig's trotter soup for you! It's delicious!" Chen then remembered that everyone else hadn't eaten yet. It was almost one o'clock and they must be hungry.

Officials sent out a second wave of earthquake rescue teams this morning.

Fang Yong and the surviving rescue team members were able to get out of the earthquake zone with difficulty only after eating the food and drinking water given by Su Keke.

As they were all injured, they walked to the foot of Arashiyama and were driven to a temporary hospital for treatment by the patrolmen stationed there.

Mayor Chen Guodong was very happy when he heard Lu Yuan's report that some members of the first rescue team had returned in the morning. These people were all heroes, selfless heroes, and they should be commended after the earthquake relief work is over.

At night, Su Keke found that the empty tents in front of her villa were occupied by people one after another. These people didn't look injured, but they were all covered in dust and dirt, so they must be survivors of the earthquake.

Later, when Su Keke went to bring dinner to Lu Mei and the others, she heard that these people were taken to a more open place by several patrolmen who were at the scene during the earthquake.

Although the ground there was shaking violently and cracked in some places, fortunately there were no buildings around and no bricks or walls collapsed, so these people saved their lives.

There are also some residents living in the suburbs of Lingcheng. They are not at the center of the earthquake. Although their houses collapsed, most of the people are fine.

Now, those who are injured and have no place to live have been officially relocated to military tents at Lanshan Hospital.

"Coco, we will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow! The tents here are tight, and we are almost well again. We will go home early tomorrow morning."

Chen Li said.

“Are there so many disaster victims who need to be resettled?”

Su Keke opened the tent and looked outside. The noise around her was much louder than last night.

There were a lot of people queuing outside Tent No. 1 to get dinner.

"It is said that the other tents have been added with six beds. We only have two patients, and it is a bit unreasonable for us to occupy a large tent." Meng Yi also walked outside the tent and said to Su Keke.

"Why are you coming out? Go back to bed and lie down!" Su Keke quickly helped Meng Yi back to the tent.

"It's okay, Coco! Stationmaster Lu also said that we can be discharged from the hospital. We can go home to recuperate for two days and then go back to work. Otherwise, could you please take us back to Building 1 tonight so that we can vacate the tents for those in need!"

After Meng Yi said this, Lu Mei and the others thought it was an okay idea.

If they stay one more night, they will have to trouble Su Keke and Grandma Qiao. Chen Li and Meng Yi's IV drips have finished during the day. Now there are a lot of people here, and it's noisy and they probably won't be able to rest well at night.

"Okay then. I'll drive the seven-seater commercial vehicle over here. You guys pack up and go tell Station Master Lu."

Just like that, at around seven o'clock in the evening, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao sent Lu Mei and Shi Huan's families back to Building 1 of the base.
