Regardless of when or what the purpose of disaster relief is.

However, as long as it is confirmed that they are bringing supplies for disaster relief, the local government will definitely arrange staff to receive them, conduct discussions, and assign tasks.

After a disaster strikes, all resources must be mobilized for relief efforts, but relief work cannot be carried out haphazardly; it must be under unified command.

After Lin Yifeng, along with the staff from Wallace and Mixue, as well as a few people temporarily recruited from the job market, got out of the car, several staff members immediately came to greet them. The lead staff member first exchanged a few words with the traffic police, and then came to Lin Yifeng.

This staff member looked to be in his early fifties. He had deep wrinkles, thinning hair, and mud on his face that he hadn't scraped off.

This staff member must have just come from the front line of disaster relief. He had very dark circles under his eyes, and he couldn't help but yawn when he walked up to Lin Yifeng.

"Hello young comrade, we are very happy to welcome you with your supplies for disaster relief. On behalf of the people in the disaster area, I thank you."

"The situation is urgent, so I'll just give a brief overview."

"Those of you who have come to participate in the rescue, we hope you will follow our command, coordinate and carry out the disaster relief efforts in a unified manner."

"If possible, I would also like to entrust the supplies on your vehicles to us for distribution and unified scheduling."

"May I?"

Hand over the supplies in the vehicle to them?

If it were in later times, Lin Yifeng probably wouldn't agree, but in this era, there were still many truly benevolent officials, and the supplies on the vehicle were mostly food and drink, and the majority of them were easily perishable foods like steamed buns.

There's no problem handing these supplies over to government staff for unified allocation.

Lin Yifeng glanced at Xu Qingyi and said with a smile, "Sir, of course, we can hand over the supplies to you for unified allocation."

"However, before handing it over to you, I'd like to take a picture as a souvenir, is that alright?"

As soon as Lin Yifeng finished speaking, Xu Qingyi immediately took out a camera and handed it to him. The head staff member naturally had no objections and even took the initiative to ask Lin Yifeng if he was a reporter.

Journalists are in high demand these days, and the head staff member was even happier when they learned that Lin Yifeng had connections with a newspaper in the provincial capital.

"May I ask your name, sir/madam reporter?"

"I'm not a journalist; I just have a pretty good relationship with the editor-in-chief of the Zhongyuan Daily."

Lin Yifeng shook his head and replied that he would accept being addressed as "comrade reporter" under other circumstances.

But not now. Now he is an employee of Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream, representing Wallace and Mixue Ice Cream in Makino City.

This identity is absolutely unchangeable.

"Oh, I see. Will the photos you took be published in the Chung Yuan Daily?"

"Of course, boss, look at yourself now, isn't this a great promotional photo?"

Lin Yifeng pointed at the forehead of the staff member in front of him: "The mud on your forehead isn't even dry yet!"

The staff member immediately laughed. He laughed very happily, also laughing at how sensible Lin Yifeng was!

Click click click!

I took a few quick shots of the truck with my camera, especially of the banners that read "Wallace is here to help the disaster area," "When one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides," and "Mixue Ice Cream is here to help the disaster area." Then I took a few more pictures of the staff.

During filming, Lam Yat-fung also had the staff pose in several ways to represent their command of Wallace's employees in disaster relief.

Taking photos doesn't take much time, but it can improve the attitude and impression of the staff. After Lin Yifeng took the photos, he handed over the supplies and then went to the mudslide site under the guidance of the staff.

During their conversation on the way, Lin Yifeng learned that the staff member, who was about fifty years old, was the mayor of Yuntaishan Town in Xiuwu County.

The mudslide occurred in areas including Yuntaishan Town, Zhouzhuang Town, and Xicun Township. Because it is located in the mountains, the mudslide is always accompanied by the collapse of some mountain slopes. Therefore, this mudslide was not only fierce but also affected a wide area. Not only did the county head and county party secretary of Xiuwu County come, but even the deputy mayor of Shanyang City came to personally direct the disaster relief efforts.

"Xiuwu is a place called Yushui, young comrade. Do you know where the name Xiuwu comes from?"

The town mayor of Yuntaishan was very knowledgeable. He took Lin Yifeng and others to the mudslide site in a diesel tricycle: "Legend has it that during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, when King Wu of Zhou attacked King Zhou of Shang, he encountered a rainstorm when he reached this place and could only camp here to train his troops and practice martial arts."

“During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, this place was originally called Ningyi. King Wu of Zhou renamed it Xiuwu, and it has been used ever since.”

The old town mayor was very talkative. From him, Lin Yifeng learned some historical anecdotes about Xiuwu, as well as the affected areas and the number of people.

The area affected by the mudslide is quite large, but the number of people affected is not particularly large.

This is mainly because there are relatively few villages in the mountains.

If a mudslide occurs not in the mountains, but in a plain, the number of people affected will be particularly staggering.

For example, the massive floods of 1998 affected 318 million mu (approximately 21.9 million hectares) of land across the country, impacting 223 million people.

For example, the severe rainstorm in Central China in 2021 affected more than 30 million people and caused direct economic losses of more than 130 billion yuan.

The diesel tricycle traveled for about twenty minutes before it completely broke down.

From then on, they had no choice but to proceed on foot. Lin Yifeng and the others walked for about twenty minutes before reaching the end of the mudslide.

It was getting late, the roads were becoming muddy, and it even started to drizzle. The mayor of Yuntaishan Town began to arrange the disaster relief area for Lin Yifeng and others, allowing them to carry out disaster relief in a slightly safer area.
