Chapter 20 Suicheng

Yao Ruoyun's mother is the owner of Yao Ji Wonton Shop.

"Senior! So you are my mother's savior!" A girl with a round face but taller than her rushed to Shu Fu and hugged her enthusiastically. The impact was so great that she almost knocked her down.

Shu Fu: ...

She stretched out her hands to hold on to the wall of the lounge, barely enduring the other party's enthusiasm, and said helplessly: "...What help? I'm just an ordinary customer who came here to eat wontons."

"You are you! If you hadn't gone there to eat the wontons that day and packed so many, my mother would most likely have come to the school by then, and if she happened to walk to the school gate..." Yao Ruoyun's bright voice suddenly weakened.

The car accident that day was on the hot search for two days. It was a sudden accident and the scene was extremely tragic. Later, the family members of the deceased fainted when they learned the news.

Nowadays, most people only have one child. A lot of effort is put into raising a child from birth to college. It is extremely painful to lose him/her suddenly.

At first, Yao Ruoyun was just glad that her mother escaped the disaster, but later she started to feel scared for some reason and even had nightmares for two consecutive nights.

In the dream, her mother did not delay going out because of the busy store. She left the store and hurried to school at her urging. She was also a victim in the tragic car accident...

She even witnessed the car accident scene with her own eyes. Her mother was lying on the ground without a sound, her hands and feet bent at a strange angle, and bright red blood was flowing all over the ground...

The dream was too terrifying and real. The sense of horror and self-blame and guilt that came over me after I realized it belatedly could not be dispelled at all.

She asked for leave to go home, and slept with her mother for two nights before she slowly recovered. Later, she heard her mother talk about the customer who came to the store to eat wontons that day. In fact, he was also from her school and had just graduated this year.

She had always eaten and left the restaurant before, and never packed up. But this time, she packed up so much food. It was because she was busy with this business that she was late to go out.

"It's like it was destined. Thanks to her, Mom escaped a disaster..." Hua Qiong patted her baby daughter's back, feeling lucky. If she really died in this car accident, how would her baby daughter live in the future? She might be trapped in self-blame, guilt and regret for the rest of her life, and suffer endlessly.

Both mother and daughter felt fortunate because their home and shop were also flooded during this rainstorm.

But when Yao Ruoyun saw the situation outside on the Internet, she couldn't help but want to do something for the people affected by the disaster, even if it was just something small within her ability.

It was precisely because she sincerely helped those who came to seek refuge that she was chosen to be a volunteer for the rescue team, and her family has not left yet.

If not, given the time they came to the library to seek refuge, they should have joined the subsequent evacuation team and left Suicheng. It would not be such a coincidence that she met her mother's savior again.

So this is destined fate!

Yao Ruoyun, who was still feeling grateful that she was able to meet the "boy she liked" because she stayed as a volunteer not long ago, has now completely transferred this gratitude to Shu Fu.

After all, this guy is her mother's lucky star! Close to Lu Zheng? No problem, what's a man? Just take it if you like it!

So, Yao Ruoyun, who was still clinging to Lu Zheng five minutes ago, hooked Shu Fu's arm affectionately with one hand, took her supply bag with the other hand, and took her to the quietest corner of the lounge. She personally helped her lay out the moisture-proof mat and blanket, and chattered about various precautions of the shelter. Her enthusiasm was far greater than that towards Lu Zheng before.

Lu Zheng, who was standing at the door and being completely ignored, said: …

Lu Ce was stunned for a while and scratched his head, looking for the right adjective to say: "Brother, your classmate... is very warm and welcoming..."

Lu Zheng smiled and reached out to smooth the hair on his brother's head.

**

The original evacuation time for Yao Ruoyun's family and several other classmates was the day after tomorrow - which was the morning of the sixth day of the city-wide evacuation.

The official evacuation plan is for six days, but it is certainly impossible for all the people in the first shelter to leave Suicheng within six days. Based on the subsequent scheduling based on the number of people, it is estimated that the evacuation work will last until the eighth or even ninth day.

However, by then, people will only leave the shelter but not enter, so it will not be as busy as it is now, and volunteers like her will not stay until the last batch to leave.

Yao Ruoyun told them that the subsequent evacuation was still very humane, and many people who were scattered with their families in various places in Suicheng were trying to gather at the same evacuation point. For example, the elderly and young people who already had families and children, even if they had to temporarily take refuge in a completely unfamiliar city, they would definitely stay together as a family.

Therefore, after the people in the city evacuate to the first stage shelter, there will not be a mandatory time for subsequent evacuations. Volunteers will then count the evacuation intentions of new refugees.

The first group completely obeys the official arrangement and evacuates in order according to the time of arrival at the shelter and the number of the eight people in the group. This group of people usually stays in the shelter for one to two nights, depending on the situation of the boats on that day, and the evacuation time is usually in the morning.

The other type is delayed evacuation, where the evacuation declaration will be made after all relatives, friends and family members have arrived, and then they will be incorporated into the evacuation team according to the same process.

Now Yao Ruoyun and several other classmates are using the latter method, but not many people in the shelter choose the latter method.

Most people want to leave the flood area as soon as possible, and not every family has the conditions to gather together. Anyway, it is just a temporary evacuation for a few days. Everyone can keep in touch by phone and will come back after the flood in Suicheng recedes.

Almost everyone believed that the flood would recede soon.

"The water level rose two to three meters one night before, which scared a lot of people. But since that day, the rise of the water level has obviously slowed down, which shows that the previous incident was just an occasional emergency. There may be something wrong with the drainage system or the city..."

"I think so too. It seems very likely that once we all evacuate Suicheng, the flood waters in the area will have receded."

“I think so too!”

"Why are we going through so much trouble to evacuate now? Can't we just stay in a taller building? Actually, I think it's pretty good here. I can help the rescue team work every day, and it makes me feel more at ease."

"It was an official arrangement after all. Everyone else has left, so why aren't you leaving? I heard from people who evacuated later that, in addition to electricity, water and gas have also been cut off in many places in the city..."

…

At night, the wind and rain outside the library got stronger again.

The wind was howling outside the window, and the sound of rain hitting the glass was dense and noisy, and it seemed to be mixed with hail. Due to the bad weather and low visibility at night, the rescue work had to be suspended, and the volunteer students also rested early.

Several of Lu Zheng’s classmates couldn’t sleep, so they turned on a plug-in/charger-compatible camping lamp, moved their beds, and sat in a circle playing cards and chatting.

Shu Fu couldn't sleep so early. She was standing in front of the window, staring at the heavy rain outside in a daze.

Although she was not sure when the task would be completed, after so many times, she was very clear that every task with a high progress bar would be accompanied by some unexpected disaster.

She couldn't predict anything, so she wouldn't be so self-righteous as to force herself to save anyone during this mission.

But she hopes she can be more alert. If a disaster happens around her again like the day of the party, she hopes she can react immediately and not be too passive.

Perhaps her frowning and silent look was too deep, and Yao Ruoyun noticed it, and misunderstood something. So after her invitation failed, she came over and hugged her, forcing her to join the "group chat".

"It's okay to just watch without playing cards. It's very cold at night. It will be warmer if we get closer..."

In the end, Shu Fu couldn't resist the other party's invitation, and moved over, dragging her small mat and backpack.

During this special period, and with every student having family around them, there was no distinction between genders and everyone spent the night in the lounge.

At the beginning, families were accommodated in three lounges on a first-come, first-served basis.

Later, because the young students and the older parents had obviously inconsistent biological clocks, they finally switched rooms, with the parents staying in two rooms and the students gathering in a lounge.

This lounge is quite large, and there are decorative screens, which they use to separate the space, with girls living in half and boys living in the other half. When they are not sleeping, they remove the screens and treat it like an autumn outing camping.

There were originally four boys and three girls here. Now with Shu Fu and his three companions, there are six boys and four girls.

The food in the supply package distributed by the library includes two buckets of instant noodles, a bag of whole-wheat lunch rolls, a bag of sausages, two vacuum-boiled eggs, and two servings of self-heating rice, which is enough for two days.

Shu Fu had a bowl of self-heating rice at noon, with braised beef flavor. The taste was just average. There wasn’t much rice, but she didn’t waste it and ate it all.

This was the case in the morning, and I felt hungry around four or five in the afternoon.

So when she was making instant noodles at night, she stuffed two sausages and two boiled eggs into it, upgrading it to deluxe instant noodles, which made Yao Ruoyun exclaim "Wow".

It’s not that she didn’t have these things. Although she evacuated early, it was a voluntary evacuation and the situation was not so bad at that time, so her family brought a lot of food and drinks.

But they have been here for several days, eating almost the same food every day, and have long been tired of it. She now has a conditioned aversion to instant noodles. Seeing Shu Fu eating so happily, she sighed and said that it was indeed her first day in the shelter. If she stayed for a few more days like this, she would rather eat bread than eat.

She now really missed her rich takeaway life in the past. She felt hungry again while playing cards: "Boiled fish with tofu pudding, brown sugar bubble milk tea, fried chicken wings, pork tenderloin skewers, egg-filled pancakes, braised pork rice, spicy skewers... wuwuwuwu..."

As Yao Ruoyun spoke, tears began to flow from the corners of her mouth.

She was familiar with all the Shufu she mentioned, and most of them came from the food street near the school. However, those shops were low buildings, with two or three floors at most, and they had all been flooded.

"Yao Ruoyun, stop howling, I'm hungry right after dinner!" A fat boy with glasses protested, "I can't stand this day! If it weren't for going to the Dahailan Shelter, I would have taken my parents away long ago!"

"I was just telling you what's wrong. But you, I thought you were so devoted to serving the people that you didn't go with the previous groups of classmates. It turns out you were calculating which shelter to go to!"

The Dahailan Shelter mentioned by the fat man with glasses is located in the suburbs of Ningcheng. It is a resort hotel located between Suicheng and Ningcheng. It has two of the tallest and best buildings nearby.

Ningcheng is a small city and the first stop on the northwest evacuation route from Suicheng. There are about seven or eight official shelters temporarily set up, and efforts are still being made to increase them.

Dahailan was added later. Since it is located in the suburbs and it is the off-season for tourism, it was originally semi-closed. But it is a resort hotel after all, so the accommodation conditions are naturally incomparable to those of the library. Moreover, most hotel rooms have simple kitchens with induction cookers, so even if you can't order takeout, you can buy food and cook it yourself.

To get to Dahailan from SuiDa where they are, one has to first take a boat through the flood area and then take a car, and in the middle they have to cross a river. However, the terrain there is higher than SuiCheng. Although it is raining now, only a few low-lying areas have water accumulation.

The Suicheng rescue team was responsible for transporting the people here, and the subsequent transfer was taken over by the Ningcheng rescue team, which continued to move towards Pincheng.

After all, with so many people, ordinary small cities cannot accommodate them all, so they have to move to larger cities.

The fat man with glasses was immediately dissatisfied when he heard what Yao Ruoyun said. He put his cards together and stopped playing: "Why can't it be calculated? I have been a volunteer for so many days. I am evacuating as well. What's wrong with finding a more comfortable shelter for myself? You are going with me, so don't act like a saint!"

Like the fat guy with glasses, the other students stayed until this stage basically for the next stop.

There was no other way. After spending so many days in the library where it was inconvenient to wash and lacked privacy, they all wanted to return to normal life, take a hot shower, and have a good sleep in a room with a bed.

However, the evacuation ships that departed from the library had different refuge destinations. It was only through their relationship with the rescue team that they confirmed that the group evacuating on the morning of the sixth day was heading to Dahailan.

"Fatty, don't say anything if you don't know how to talk. Yao Ruoyun is the first volunteer, so you can do the calculation yourself. She really wants to help people!" The boy who spoke was the tallest of the group, about 1.85 meters tall. He was not handsome, but had regular features.

His name is Xun Huiming and he is a member of the swimming team. Because he is good at swimming, he not only does logistical work in the library, but also follows the rescue team out in speedboats several times to rescue people. Now he is the backbone of the entire student team.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the fat man with glasses suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He turned his head and pretended to tease the cat that Lu Ce placed beside him. The tabby cat meowed, dodged his hand, and jumped onto Lu Ce's bed.

Luce picked it up and carefully took out some cat food wrapped in paper towels from the backpack beside him. He had exchanged five sausages with another refugee in the library in the evening.

The man also brought a cat with him. Probably because it was his own cat, he even brought food for the cat when he evacuated.

Lu Ce's eyes lit up. He originally wanted to buy it from the other party, but the other party only agreed to exchange it with supplies. After discussion, they decided on the items to be exchanged.

Lu Ce took some cat food and put it in his palm and moved it over. He thought the tabby cat would happily come over to eat it, but it just sniffed it and turned its head away. Instead, it moved towards the sausage sticking out of his backpack pocket, scratched at it with its claws, and meowed a few times.

"You want to eat this?" Lu Ce scratched his head. Was the cat food not to his taste? He was a little confused and asked Lu Zheng, "Brother, can cats eat ham sausage?"

Lu Zheng remembered that it was okay: "It's okay to eat a small amount occasionally."

On the side, Shu Fu looked at the tabby cat for a while, then took out her bag of sausage and put it into Lu Ce's bag.

"Sister Fufu, Lanlan can't eat so much."

"It's for you. Didn't you say this brand of ham sausage is quite delicious?" If she guessed correctly, the cat might not just eat it occasionally. And she didn't need it, and didn't want him to give up his own food to feed the cat.

"Thank you, Sister Fu Fu. Lan Lan, look, Sister Fu Fu loves you too. She gave you all the sausages..."

Shu Fu: ...

While feeding the cat here, the other students over there fell silent for a moment, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Yao Ruoyun was particularly embarrassed. This was not the first time Xun Huiming had spoken up to help her, but she didn't care about such trivial matters. Even if someone wanted to rebuke her, she would rebuke him. But since he had spoken up to help her, she couldn't just tell Xun Huiming not to speak up for her...

Just when the air was tense, a small crackling sound came from the side, and then the crackling sound gradually became louder, like the sound of an iced carbonated drink being opened.

Is anyone drinking Coke?

Everyone was immediately attracted by the noise and turned to look. The sound came from the mineral water bottle held in Shu Fu's hand. She had drunk half of the water and put something in the bottle. Countless small bubbles were coming out of it, and the originally transparent pure water gradually turned into orange like juice.

Shu Fu felt everyone's gaze: ...

She was just soaking some vitamin C, why did it feel like she was holding some delicacy?

She took out the bottle of Vitamin C effervescent tablets from her backpack again and shook it at the others who were looking at her: "Do you want...?"

In the end, the awkward and delicate atmosphere in the lounge was saved by a bottle of vitamin C.

When everyone first arrived at the library, supplies were relatively abundant, and there was still some stock in the vending machines throughout the library.

There were some drinks and snacks, not much, but at least they were there.

But with the influx of a large number of refugees, these public supplies were consumed in a very short time. After everyone finished eating the snacks they brought with them, the only daily food left was bread, instant noodles, biscuits, self-heating rice, ham sausage, and boiled eggs...

To be honest, it’s hard to even want to eat a bite of sweets or drink a sip of juice.

And now, in the dim yellow light of the camping lantern, each student held a bottle of orange vitamin C water and sipped it happily.

"Damn, every time I left home, my mom liked to put a bottle of this in my bag and asked me to supplement my vitamins. I thought it tasted bad, so I never drank it. I always threw it away after it expired! Why do I think it tastes so good now?"

"Hmm! The color is like juice, and the taste is like juice, sour and sweet, so delicious!"

"I have been constipated for three days. I hope I can have a smooth passage tomorrow..."

"Oh my god, you're disgusting!"

"It's so miserable, we are so miserable..."

…

Everyone was talking and drinking, and some thought of their parents, so they got up after drinking half of it and went to the lounge next door to share the remaining vitamin C water with them.

Yao Ruoyun closed the bottle of water that was more than half full. Just as she was about to stand up, she thought of something and said to Shu Fu and Lu Zheng, "Oh, by the way, you two should go with us to Dahailan. We can all be together and take care of each other."

"I'm fine with anything, but the three of us just arrived today. Can we go with you?" Lu Zheng replied.

"It should be possible, right?" Yao Ruoyun said, looking at Xun Huiming with some uncertainty.

Xun Huiming's parents were not in this city. They were sitting there and did not leave. Hearing this, he replied to Yao Ruoyun, "I'll go ask my uncle later."

**

Xun Huiming's uncle is one of the captains of the Suicheng official rescue team.

People evacuated to shelters can choose to follow official arrangements or postpone their evacuation, but the final decision on which day to take which ship and which shelter to go to next is still arranged by the authorities.

Because of the large number of people being evacuated and the fact that everyone wanted to leave the flood zone as soon as possible, the principle of fairness had to be maintained as much as possible to avoid chaos. Even if Yao Ruoyun and his group could have a little privilege, it was only to determine a refuge point, which would be arranged by the rescue team afterwards.

They cannot decide the specific time in the morning or which ship will depart.

The situation of Shu Fu and the other two was different. On the morning of the sixth day, all the ships and personnel evacuating from Sui Da had been sorted. It was impossible to add people to any specific ship unless the refugees originally scheduled to board the ship were willing to do so.

The man in front of him looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, taller than Xun Huiming, and was wearing the uniform of the rescue team. Probably because he had just come back from outside, his clothes and hair were still half wet. While talking, he took the dry towel handed to him by Xun Huiming and wiped his hair.

Just like during the day, his cheeks and lips were a little pale. After taking off the rain hat, his eyebrows and eyes were delicate and sharp, with a hint of fatigue in his eyes. However, when answering Xun Huiming and Yao Ruoyun's questions, he was still very careful and did not show any impatience.

Lu Zheng and Lu Ce had never expected that the rescue team member they met outside the school during the day who gave them a ride on the boat was Xun Huiming's uncle.

I heard that he was originally from the army and held a high rank. This time he took the initiative to request to be transferred to the rescue team. Although it was to take care of Xun Huiming, he has been busy on the front line of rescue.

"There are only three of us. Can't we squeeze them in?" Xun Huiming still had some hope.

"Even if we temporarily make room for them to get on the boat, they may not go to the same shelter as you." Cheng Yu frowned slightly, glanced at Shu Fu and the other three, as well as Yao Ruoyun who was standing next to Shu Fu, and pointed out the most crucial point.

He naturally understood the reason why Xun Huiming asked repeatedly. To be honest, he did have some selfish motives when he initially applied to be transferred to the Suicheng rescue team. He wanted to arrange for the safe transfer of his nephew who was studying at Suicheng University as soon as possible.

He didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to ask to stay as a volunteer, even though he wanted to be a volunteer because of a girl. But no matter what the starting point is, as long as they end up in the same place, it's still a good thing.

Lu Zheng opened his mouth to thank Cheng Yu. He knew that the rescue team was very busy and didn't want to delay their rest time.

He didn't really care whether he could get on board the ship the day after tomorrow morning. It was just a refuge along the way. As long as he could finally reach Pincheng safely, it would be fine.

Cheng Yu nodded at them and left the lounge.

Yao Ruoyun was not the type to hesitate. After Cheng Yu left, she quickly made up her mind. Since adding more people was unlikely, it would be okay to reduce the number of people, right? She could postpone her departure time, team up with Shu Fu and the other two, and then report for evacuation.

"Actually, there's no need to do this. Just evacuate according to your original plan. We'll meet in Pincheng in the end anyway--" Lu Zheng's words were interrupted by Yao Ruoyun hugging Shu Fu.

"It's not a problem, not at all... Ah? You're not going to Pincheng? What a coincidence! I'm not going either... How could that be? My mom will definitely agree, and my dad listens to my mom. Anyway, I'll be with you all the way... Now that we've decided, let's go to bed early. We'll sleep next to each other tonight..."

Yao Ruoyun hugged Shu Fu affectionately, not noticing that Lu Zheng was talking to her at all. "You also brought chocolate? Eating this in the middle of the night - ah? Is it for me? That, that's so embarrassing... Do you want to wash up? Yes, yes, it's simple but you still need to clean up. Okay, let's go together later!

Wow, you actually brought disposable underwear... Thank you. I'm embarrassed to say this, but I really haven't changed for two days. Mainly because of this damn weather, it's so humid that it can't dry completely after washing. I can't turn on the air conditioner to save electricity, and I can't even find a hair dryer. I'm almost getting moldy... "

Lu Zheng: ...

I felt like I heard something I shouldn't have heard.

"Brother, I feel like you're a little redundant..." Lu Ce said, looking down at the cat in his arms, and happily picked it up, "Lan Lan, let's go wash up too? I know you like Sister Fu Fu, but you're a little male cat, remember not to run into the girls' bathroom to peek!"

cat:……

**

The next morning, Yao Ruoyun's announcement of the decision surprised the other students, and there was some silence.

Upon seeing this, Yao Ruoyun immediately stated that this was only her personal matter and she would not force anyone else, and that they could leave as planned.

If they delayed their evacuation, they would not be able to go to Dahailan, so the others naturally did not want to reschedule. However, Xun Huiming on the other side quickly spoke up: "I will also postpone and go with you."

Yao Ruoyun's leaving the team would not have any impact on others, but it was different for Xun Huiming. His uncle was the captain of the rescue team, and he himself was the backbone of this small team.

To put it bluntly, with his swimming ability, if something really happened on the way, having such a swimmer with rescue experience by his side would greatly improve the safety index, and as long as Xun Huiming was there, he would not ignore them.

Therefore, after Xun Huiming spoke, the other students could no longer remain silent.

Unnecessary, irresponsible, breaking up the team, not thinking about other students, not keeping promises... these words popped out from the mouths of several students one after another.

Xun Huiming frowned when he heard this: "Am I your parents? Do I have to be responsible for you? Where does this bandit logic come from? Also, my uncle is a member of the rescue team, not me - nor anyone else's babysitter. He can't leave with us. If you are calculating this, there is no need to do so."

"But, but we have already agreed to leave the day after tomorrow morning. What should we do if you suddenly change your mind? We are all classmates and should advance and retreat together. Yao Ruoyun is not the only one who is your classmate, we are all! You are too biased!" A girl retorted weakly.

She had long noticed Xun Huiming's bias towards Yao Ruoyun, but she had kept silent before because it did not involve her own interests.

Although Xun Huiming favors Yao Ruoyun, Yao Ruoyun has always been generous and caring for everyone, especially the other girls and even their families, who have received some help because of Xun Huiming's favoritism.

But now, once Yao Ruoyun turned, Xun Huiming followed without hesitation, so she naturally couldn't sit still.

"Li Tong, what do you mean by that?" Yao Ruoyun was most annoyed to hear these things. She just didn't expect that the one who said these words was the girl she usually took care of. "You are classmates, but Lu Zheng is not a classmate? You said you would advance and retreat together, but I didn't see you willing to retreat with me and Lu Zheng! You want to go to a shelter with better conditions, and you want to be protected by capable people. How can such a good thing come true?"

"What's wrong with wanting to go to a shelter with better conditions? It sounds like you didn't want to go to Dahailan in the first place? Wasn't it because everyone wanted to go to Dahailan that you kept putting it off and finally decided to leave on the sixth day of the evacuation? Otherwise, everyone would have left long ago, and there wouldn't be these things happening now..." At one side, the fat boy with glasses complained again.

Xun Huiming immediately turned around and glanced at him. The fat boy with glasses subconsciously shrank his neck, but then he thought that Xun Huiming was about to leave the team, so why should he care about him? Thinking of this, he snorted coldly, dragged another boy who was on good terms with him, and left the lounge directly.

The other few people, because they still wanted Xun Huiming to stay, continued to talk to each other, but their emotions were inevitably agitated and it sounded more like a quarrel.

Lu Zheng didn't like to cause trouble, so he opened his mouth to try to persuade them, but before he could say a few words he was pushed away by another emotional boy.

He was caught off guard and took several steps back.

"Brother——" Lu Ce rushed over holding the tabby cat.

Shu Fu, who had been sitting in a corner of the sofa, also stood up and walked over.

Yao Ruoyun didn't expect that the small team that was relatively united before could not stand the test. She didn't want to continue arguing with them: "Stop arguing. I didn't force you to delay evacuation with me. You are not qualified to ask others to do what you think. Whatever Xun Huiming wants to do is his own choice. Don't involve me anymore!"

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards Shu Fu and the other two: "Let's go, first go and get the extension and re-declaration done, then go to my parents' place for breakfast."

"Bring your bag and cushion with you," Shu Fu reminded.

Yao Ruoyun still has volunteer work to do later, and she doesn't think that in this atmosphere, the three of them can return to the lounge to rest as if nothing had happened.

The four of them each picked up their backpacks, quickly rolled up the mats and stuffed them into their supply bags, then walked out together.

**

The small team of students has temporarily broken up.

Yao Ruoyun took them to the lounge at her parents' place. The mats there were not too big, so everyone could squeeze in.

The cold war lasted for a whole day. Xun Huiming looked for Yao Ruoyun twice in the middle, but she firmly stated her position. If he wanted to delay it because of herself, that was fine, but she didn't need him to change his original plan for her.

At this point, the refusal is clear.

What's more, Yao Ruoyun acted very quickly and has re-applied for evacuation. After their reorganization, the team only has six people: she, her parents, and Shu Fu. According to the rules, the official will transfer two more people to their team, and then issue the team number, and then the evacuation time and evacuation ship number.

If Xun Huiming wanted to be with them, he had to ask his uncle for help. If he really insisted on going this far, Yao Ruoyun felt that she couldn't control him, so she didn't want to ask any more questions.

I thought the matter was over, but who knew that something unexpected happened that evening.

Their small team of students was reported by someone.

This trouble was caused by the fat boy with glasses. He was in a bad mood all day and was complaining to another boy in private. He was heard by another group of students at the shelter.

The other party did not volunteer and did not know anyone in the rescue team, so the evacuation was completely in accordance with official arrangements. The destination was said to be a factory on the outskirts of Ningcheng.

Comparing a factory and a resort hotel, even the dumbest person would know which one has better conditions.

They originally thought that they were unlucky, but now they heard that Fatty had actually arranged to go to a resort hotel, they were immediately furious.

So complaints and reports are a one-stop service.

When Shu Fu learned the news, the official decision had already been made. The team led by Lu Zheng was defeated, and all the students and their families had their evacuation plans for the next morning cancelled and had to reschedule their evacuation.

The fat-eyed guy led his classmates to settle the score with the other party. Even though it was raining loudly outside, the cursing sounds could still be heard from the seventh floor to the sixth floor.

Both parties are from the same school, but they are in different grades and are not familiar with each other. The fat man with glasses and his friends don't understand what benefits the other party gets from doing this.

What's more, even if Fatty and the others have impure motives, they have been volunteers for so many days and have been busy every day.

The evacuation arrangements are random, and they didn't squeeze out other people's places. They were just trying to gain some benefits for themselves. How could they be an eyesore to the other party?

But the other party is not afraid at all. Why should they be held accountable for the official handling results? At most, they are ordinary citizens who are eager to report injustice.

The eight words "report injustice when you see it" were really heart-wrenching. After that, the quarrel escalated into physical pushing and shoving.

This gives the other party an opportunity to report again. If it is not handled properly, the incident will be escalated, spread through the Internet, and continue to be reported to the higher authorities.

The members of the rescue team were also troubled by the noise, and finally they adjusted the evacuation time of the whistleblower student team and gave them the position originally occupied by Lu Zheng. Only then was the matter settled.

At the same time, the rescue team also privately contacted the fat man with glasses and his group, and advised them not to look for each other again.

In fact, this matter was nothing. Xun Huiming's team did not squeeze out the quota of others, but the fact now is that they let the cat out of the bag and the other party took video evidence.

There are floods in so many places in the country at present, and the eyes of the people across the country are watching. If the situation gets really serious, it will not be good for them.

In the end, Lu Zheng and his classmates had to swallow this loss. They were angry, hateful and regretful. If they had not been unable to help but find the other party, they would not be able to replace them even if they reported them. Now they were really mad. They had to give up the great Dahailan Resort Hotel as a shelter.

None of Lu Zheng's classmates slept well that night. Anger and regret made them toss and turn. Thinking back to the fact that they had quarreled with Yao Ruoyun and others over this matter during the day, and even pushed Lu Zheng unintentionally, they felt it was not worth it.

After daybreak, someone came knocking on the door of Shu Fu's lounge. The leaders were Li Tong, the fat man with glasses, and another boy who accidentally pushed Lu Zheng yesterday.

They came to apologize, and because there were other students' parents in the lounge, the three of them hesitated and it took them a while to say their apology clearly.

A day and a night had passed since the incident, and Yao Ruoyun was no longer angry. After all, everyone had been eating and sleeping together and had been volunteers together for so many days, so there would always be a friendship of sharing weal and woe.

People are so strange. When they are angry, they only think of the other person's shortcomings. They always say bad things subconsciously and wish they would never have any contact with each other again.

But once the anger has subsided, past friendship and the other person's strengths will come to mind.

Shu Fu had just woken up and curled up in her sleeping bag. She gently touched the tabby cat sleeping against her sleeping bag, then carried it to Yao Ruoyun's bed.

She didn't stand up, but quietly looked at the young students at the door of the lounge who were showing embarrassment, guilt and smiles on their faces.

Due to her professional habit, she likes to observe the people and things around her, especially watching the various aspects of life. Because she is not the protagonist, her heart is very calm and she does not feel lonely because she cannot participate.

She likes the freedom of being alone, but she also likes this bustling and noisy world.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, the lifeboats that were originally supposed to carry Lu Zheng and his classmates set off. The double-decker speedboat that was supposed to pick them up was outside the school, and the small lifeboat was just used for ferrying.

The double-decker speedboat has a roof to keep out the rain. After leaving the suburbs of Suicheng, it still has to cross a river before reaching the suburbs of Ningcheng.

It was still raining heavily today, and the weather outside was gloomy. Lu Zheng and his classmates stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the third floor of the library, watching the lifeboats leaving one by one in the water below, and felt that their hearts were as gloomy and cold as the sky.

"Our Da Hailan..." someone couldn't help but whisper.

Some people saw a few people below waving proudly in their direction despite the heavy rain, and gnashed their teeth and said, "These bastards..."

Finally, Xun Huiming came over and said, "Don't look anymore. A new batch of refugees will be arriving soon. Hurry up and get back to work!"

"Forget it, let's leave late. We'll just go to whichever shelter we're assigned to. Maybe we'll be lucky!" Some people also encouraged everyone again.

At this time, everyone thought that the matter was over.

However, two hours later, the rescue team members of the entire library, or the entire SuiDa West Campus, received an emergency order at the same time. Except for the rescue team members who had to stay in the shelter, all other team members quickly equipped themselves and boarded the assault boats.

The mission of evacuating the people in the city was completely stopped, and the assault boats turned around and headed towards the suburbs northwest of Suicheng.

"What's wrong? What happened?

Such a loud noise startled the refugees in the library. Everyone stood up and gathered at the window to look out and ask each other, but they could only see each other's confused expressions.

Xun Huiming reacted quickly. He rushed downstairs and just saw Cheng Yu, who had just laid down to rest after working all night, running out while putting on his equipment.

"Uncle, what happened? Can I go with you?" He ran up, followed by Lu Zheng and the fat boy with glasses.

"Something happened during the evacuation, we have to rush to rescue people! You volunteers don't have much experience, so don't follow us. You can't help if you go over there. Just stay in the library!" Cheng Yu didn't have time to explain the reason. He just said this and then spread his long legs and ran out quickly.

It didn't take long for the anxious refugees to find out on the Internet the reason why the entire rescue team took emergency action.

Huijiang Dam - burst!
