Chapter 434 Current Affairs

"I remember you have some fruits. You can send them to a detoxification shop to remove the poison and then sell them. As for the rest, you can learn more." Xia Yan stopped talking.

She has an occupational disease and it is impossible for her to help people from beginning to end, no matter how big or small the matter is.

She extends a helping hand to those who are stuck in the quagmire, and the other party must at least make an effort to extend a hand in return.

"I know, thank you, boss! I'll go right away!"

Zhang Yaya nodded repeatedly, and her joyful voice turned into pleasant notes, bouncing and flying into the sky.

Xia Yan was very satisfied with his reaction.

It is people like this who know what is happening that are willing to lend a helping hand.

Xia Yan no longer paid attention to what happened afterwards. There was a protection mechanism on Lidai Island. After renting a stall and becoming a stall owner, they would have their own private space. No matter what, they would not be bullied. If they worked hard to earn some points, their lives would get better.

...

Chu Wanfu brought a young soldier with a hunched back to see her.

"I remember you have something called the 'Everything Something' in your hand? Take it out so we can exchange it for points."

Xia Yan was surprised: "You've prepared the gold so quickly?"

Chu Wanfu said cryptically, "I happened to know a few vaults, so I just wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect to actually dig it out."

This was also thanks to the local residents who joined the base. They were familiar with all the gold shops, and they were able to identify that a certain area that had become ruins was an illegal gold shop.

Because it is so dark, only desperate people know of the existence of this store.

Maybe the shop owner didn't expect that in the end, outsiders would get the better deal.

Xia Yan placed the appraiser on the table. "Where's the gold?"

Chu Wanfu waved his hand, and the bent soldier walked forward with difficulty, placing his hands on the table.

The next moment, piles of melted and then solidified gold emerged from the palm of his hand, and the golden light instantly illuminated Xia Yan's eyes.

"Xiongxiong, come and help me weigh the gold!"

The bears were weighed and counted, and Xia Yan, who was standing by, was so happy that his teeth were not visible, which made Chu Wanfu want to laugh.

"How long will it take for the hospital to be built?" Chu Wanfu tapped the table lightly.

"tomorrow."

"tomorrow?!"

"Well, tomorrow."

Chu Wanfu led the soldiers with their backs straight and walked back with unsteady steps.

That night, Lidai Island welcomed a large number of visitors - sentries who had just finished their shift, residents who said they couldn't sleep and came for a walk, and nurses and doctors who helped patients do outdoor activities.

"It's too obvious. We must start militarized reconnaissance training." General Chu, standing on the top-floor outdoor spiral staircase with a telescope in his hand, gritted his teeth.

The group of people were seen holding homemade wooden benches and sitting in rows in a very orderly manner. They could not hide their excitement and covered their mouths to whisper to the people next to them.

"Is the news accurate? Will work really start tonight?"

"Guaranteed! I heard it with my own ears."

"Why don't I see any workers? How can they build a building without people? And they built it overnight? The more I think about it, the more impossible it seems."

"I can tell you're new here, you keep saying those funny things. Just ask any regular customers if they used to be like this. I heard the beds were all rotten, and the stools they used were old, worn-out plastic ones."

Everyone nodded silently, doing their best to prove the truth of these words.

At this time, someone timidly asked, "I'm just curious... How could Boss Xia, who loves cleanliness so much, live through such a hard life?"

Everyone: “…”

It seems, as if, probably, there is some truth to it.

I've never seen her do any work, so her words don't seem to hold water...

"What I'm saying is, is it possible that the person doing the work is the store manager Xiongxiong, and the boss is only responsible for Meimei collecting the crystal cores?"

“6!”

The confusion that had been entangled in their hearts and brows was easily untied, and everyone suddenly became enlightened, and gave a thumbs up to Manager Xiongxiong in their hearts.

As they were chatting and laughing, the orange sunset completely fell into the deep sea, leaving only a layer of gauze-like sunset glow illuminating half of the sky. As time passed without anyone noticing, the light was completely driven out by the darkness, and the sky and the earth were pitch black. The deep sea in the distance was like the abyss of a monster, lurking under the cover of night, staring at everyone hungrily.

"It's getting dark."

The people sitting on the periphery looked back at the empty space behind them, propped up their buttocks, and took their benches to sit among the crowd.

"Isn't it time to start?"

"Shh! Here it comes!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared intently with eyes wide open.

The land where the hospital was planned to be built suddenly changed. A dark green safety net rose up almost exactly along the edge of the area, soaring all the way upwards. After a hundred meters, they overlapped and merged together in the air. From a distance, it looked like an upside-down wicker basket.

Then came the clanging sounds of construction work from inside, so loud that it seemed as if thousands of people were working at the same time.

This made the crowd who were waiting on the front line with their stools ready to eat melons dumbfounded.

How could there be any excitement to be seen? It was so tightly covered that not even a single steel bar could be seen.

At this time, Chu Wanfu was standing on the outdoor stairs, holding a telescope and trying to get a glimpse of the secret, with his mouth twitching in silence.

"When an enemy comes, we will fight him. You are really capable of that."

...

All teams are prohibited from going out today, the base gates are locked, the number of patrols has increased, and even the residents of the factory area have been called back.

"What happened? Why such a big fuss?"

Looking at the endless queue in front, the uninformed people became panicked and their legs trembled.

I asked around, but no one knew the details.

Just at this moment, the staff came with a notebook to count everyone's previous jobs.

"I used to be a dental nurse. I've never done anything harmful. Even when the zombie virus broke out in the hospital, I didn't hurt anyone!"

"Got it. Come out and stand over there." The staff member said expressionlessly.

"That way?"

The dental nurse had a sad face and kept looking back as she walked towards the circle surrounded by soldiers. There were many people who were driven there, and they were all terrified, with fear in their eyes.

Who knows why they are specifically looking for medical workers?!

After everyone had registered, the person in charge waved his hand and said to them, "Now you all go to the hospital and help transfer the patients. The rest of you who are able-bodied will carry the medical equipment!"

Where to transfer?

Is it incurable? Is it all solved?!

Everyone was silent, with their heads down, following the large group, praying for good luck in their hearts.

At the entrance of the simple hospital, Dr. Sang came downstairs early and was waiting, his face full of joy that was about to overflow.

"We're finally here. Everything is ready. The patients are waiting. I hope you haven't forgotten your professional knowledge and can try to make them suffer as little as possible."

The former medical staff standing in line couldn't help but look up with bitterness on their faces. They were just little assistants and really didn't understand what barbiturates, muscle relaxants and potassium chloride solutions were. They really didn't understand!

Doctor Sang waved his hand and said, "Why are you still standing there? Come here quickly."
