Chapter 19 Survivor Camp

Dad: Hello, we're looking for someone. Is this the "Survivor's Gathering Area"?

Soldier: This is a "survivor's camp," and you need to go to the west gate. (He points to the gate; there are people registering people there. You can go there and ask!)

Dad: Thank you!

Looking at the gate that wasn't open to the public, Leng Fengmei guessed it was a route used by military personnel.

The two got in the car and drove for a short while before they saw a simple prefabricated steel house. They looked at each other and realized this was the place!

They told the children to wait a bit before getting off the bus; it was getting dark. The two hurried over and saw a man and a woman packing up their things, preparing to leave work...

Leng Fengmei: "Hello, we're from Linshui City. We're looking for someone and would like to stay at your place."

Woman: "Oh! It's too late, why don't you come tomorrow? We're about to get off work."

Leng Fengmei: "Could I trouble you for a moment? We have a four-year-old child here who got separated from his mother, and the child misses his mother every day!"

Man: "Okay, Lingling, you go back first! There are still children and elderly people at home. I'm fine, I'll look for them!"

Woman: ...Okay! Thank you, Gao Yuan!

Dad: Thank you for your hard work!

Gao Yuan: Tell me the name, age, home address, and occupation of the person you are looking for, the more details the better.

Leng Fengmei: "We're looking for two people, one named Jiang Hongyun, female, and Lu Hongyun, male. We don't know their ages. Their son is named Lu Yunsheng, and he's four years old." Oh! By the way, the address is Linshui City. His father is a doctor, and his mother is a nurse. Do you have any information about these two people?

Gao Yuan: "Wait for me a moment..."

Leng Fengmei gestured for Xin's father to wait there, then went back to her car and rummaged through the trunk to find two packs of cigarettes. She had bought them at the mall not long ago. Although no one in the family smokes, she still kept some because of the price. They cost over three thousand yuan a pack. She wondered what they tasted like!

When Leng Fengmei returned, they still hadn't finished searching; it seemed there were quite a few people! Especially now that there's no internet and everything is done by hand, it'll take a while to find them...

"Thank you for your hard work," Leng Fengmei said as she handed over a cigarette. "We haven't met many people along the way, so we don't know what the situation is like now. We're out of touch, so we know nothing!"

Gao Yuan: "Then you should have seen the mutated beasts, right? Now, a small number of people have become superhumans. The crystals from the mutated beasts' bodies have become currency for exchanging goods. We're relatively safe here because half of us are children of high-ranking officials, national elites, and family members of some government officials..."

After thinking about it, I realized these were common knowledge, and there seemed to be nothing I shouldn't say, so I added, "Let's look for them together; both of these are from Linshui City..."

Leng Fengmei slowly looked through the documents. "How many people are involved?"

Gao Yuan glanced at Leng Fengmei, "Four or five thousand people, I suppose!"

"Mommy, how much longer?" Hanhan, with Yunsheng on her right and Xinbao on her left, walked hand in hand towards them...

When Leng Fengmei saw them coming, she was just about to ask Yun Sheng if he knew a teacher from "Rising Star Kindergarten"...

Yunsheng, come here. Auntie wants to ask you, do you know what your name is when you were a toddler?

Yun Sheng: "Hmm... what's it called... 'Star' or something? Auntie, I don't know."

Leng Fengmei: "Do you know what your teacher's name is?"

"Teacher Tongtong, and Teacher Xiao'ai!" Yun Sheng hurriedly answered!

Leng Fengmei: "Yun Sheng is so great, he knows so much!" After saying that, she took a piece of paper and wrote down the current addresses of the two people!

Gao Yuan: "I found a few people with the surname Lu, but they didn't write down their jobs. You should write them down too. There are also a few people with the surname Jiang! Write them down too, just in case they are relatives!"

Leng Fengmei: "There are a few related to doctors. I'll make a note of them, just in case they're colleagues."

And so, I wrote down a long list of contacts—fifty in total!

Gao Yuan: "Are you staying outside, or inside the safe zone? If you're staying inside the safe zone, you have to pay..."

Leng Fengmei was very curious: "How do I pay?"

"One crystal per seven days for a two-bedroom apartment! Utilities (water, electricity, gas) included..."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "It's really not easy for you to raise three children alone. These days, besides those with superpowers, who among ordinary people can defeat mutated beasts? Otherwise... you can stay outside in the car. This area is very safe. It's so late; going into the city is too dangerous. I heard there are a lot of mutated beasts there!"

"Thank you!" Leng Fengmei wondered if she had said she wasn't a superhuman...
