Chapter 34 Team Stars
At 2 p.m., the hottest time of the day, everyone ate only two pieces of the compressed rations they had brought before throwing themselves into the renovation of the new house with great enthusiasm!
"Don't work your own way! I see there are other new teams moving into this community today, and the public cleaning tools are limited!" Zhuang Xiao relayed Yu Shuang's words to the people upstairs and downstairs in his loud, clear voice.
"Zhou Yanhui, take a few fast men to get the cleaning tools. Han Chen, take a few men and Captain Yu and the others to the vehicle to get the necessary luggage. The rest of you, come with me to carry water," Chen Yuezhou gave a few simple instructions.
People in the buildings moved naturally and dispersed naturally in response to the order, moving to their destinations in a highly efficient and orderly manner.
The people queuing at the water station were shocked to see several men each filling five large buckets of water.
"Hey, are you guys carrying out earthquake relief work? Why are you taking on so many water taps? It's so hot, can you please stop hogging the taps?"
"Do you have that many quotas?" someone shouted angrily under the scorching sun!
However, after Chen Yuezhou registered his name at the water station management office, the staff there immediately stood up and said, "You can get two more buckets!"
"We have limited tools, so I won't add to your burden," Chen Yuezhou politely declined. Surprisingly, he carried the five large blue buckets upstairs with ease, using only his arm strength.
The people in line were stunned: "Damn! There's a big shot in that building!"
There were even more big shots at the public cleaning tool station. Zhou Yanhui squeezed through the crowd of pickers like a gust of wind. With sharp eyes and quick hands, he stretched out his arms and gathered the best batch of chopsticks, then swept them away like the wind.
Before anyone could even see what he looked like, let alone curse him, he had already run back into the building.
The pair of short twins with him, one rolling up a rag and the other grabbing a sack, also disappeared before anyone could even touch the hem of their clothes.
Zhao Bohan then inquired about the location of the construction engineering department's stockpiles of scrap steel, timber, cement, and other materials. He then led Zhuang Xiao to collect all the door and wall repair materials that many people were still confused about.
Not to mention that the team brought insecticides and rodenticides, as well as water-soluble solid disinfectants.
Even if there are teams that arrive in the morning and are already settling in, who can be as fast as this group?
All the windows were opened, and the cobwebs were swept down.
The spiders had been living here for 20 years, and this sudden disaster can be described as a tragedy, but humans and insects cannot coexist!
All the accumulated dust, insect carcasses, and rat carcasses were swept away.
Both the rat holes and worm holes were filled with chemicals, reinforced with steel mesh, covered with cement, and then puttyed to completely seal them off!
Rotten upholstered furniture is thrown away, broken porcelain and glass are collected for recycling, and all intact wood, stone and metal furniture is repeatedly scrubbed clean.
The furniture in Qi An's family, including many plates and bowls, was made of wood and was severely damaged by insects, but the frames were well preserved and many items were still usable.
By the time the broken windows were patched up with cardboard and the beds were made, it was already dark.
Everyone was exhausted, as if they had fought a major battle.
Amidst the pervasive smell of disinfectant, Qi An felt that she was the smelliest and dirtiest person in the entire space.
But even though it was damaged in battle and empty, this "home" still gave people a feeling of being clean and bright.
It's late June now, and the moon is still only a crescent, but the stars are dazzlingly bright.
By 7 o'clock, the construction noise had stopped, and by 8 o'clock, the entire city was shut down.
The entire space, the entire world, seemed to fall silent in an instant.
Qi An sat on the balcony, but suddenly felt as if he were sitting in the starry sky.
Su Qingran walked very quietly, handed Qi An a glass of water, and sat down next to her.
Yu Shuang sat on the other side, also gazing at the night sky with her chin in her hand. After a while, she laughed and said, "I'm really good at naming things. Our team is called 'Star Team,' a name that completely blows away all the other teams on the continent!"
Qi An and Su Qingran immediately nodded vigorously.
The name had already been submitted and approved before their arrival, becoming their official designation.
Every person is a star.
The three of them spread out a camping blanket, lay on the balcony for a while, chatted and gossiped for half an hour, and then went back to their rooms.
Yu Shuang went to have a secret meeting with Zhao Bohan and Chen Yuezhou in the dark, while Su Qingran carefully dried her body and hair in the washroom.
Qi An quickly dried himself off, lay down on the slightly tilted bed, and glanced at his phone.
Lin Jiaran sent a message complaining that they encountered a rainstorm on the road, and the river was swollen, almost flooding their car.
This river should also be the Feng River, because the Feng River Bridge at the entrance of the Central Plains No. 1 Base was destroyed, and they took a long detour to the south, and are probably still following the river section now.
This great river runs east to west across the continent, flowing into the sea at the North 2 Base.
There was no news from Chen Xi. On the eve of his departure, he came to find Qi An and insisted that Qi An accompany him to walk through half of the base. He also went to the training ground to give Qi An further guidance on the key points of close combat with a knife.
When they parted, the taciturn boy no longer said "Please remember me," but instead said, "Take care of yourself..."
"Protect yourself" seems to be only the first half of a sentence, while the second half is submerged in the moonlight. Qi An only remembers the boy's gaze, which seemed to want to melt her and himself together.
The battery level was 10%, and there was no way to charge it. Qi An took one last look at Feng Xu's message, then sent reminders to everyone she frequently contacted that her phone might be frequently turned off, before lying down to sleep.
The next day, the golden sunlight woke up the whole house. Although everyone had been fed mosquitoes all night, they got up full of energy!
The new base's Army Command is located in the university town; everyone should report to the command first.
Commander-in-Chief Yeh Hsuan-ming is actually a woman!
The woman was in her early forties, standing tall in her military uniform, with a face as rugged as a cliff and prominent brow bones.
Yu Shuang and Qi An's eyes lit up when they saw her!
The commander-in-chief was also very enthusiastic. He met with Yu Shuang, Qi An, and other mid-level officers who had made outstanding contributions, and shook hands with each of them.
She seemed to be sizing up her direct subordinate, Chen Yuezhou.
After reporting for duty, everyone officially returned to the team. Chen Yuezhou went to a meeting with Ye Xuanming, while Yu Shuang went to see her new office with Ren Hao.
Qi An and the others heard that there was already a purification alliance here, so they went to the alliance to register together, taking advantage of the fact that the meeting between the guild headquarters and the battle team would not start for another hour or two.
This so-called Purification Alliance branch was nothing more than a dilapidated room with peeling walls in a very run-down field hospital.
However, there was indeed an electrified mental enhancement testing device inside the room, and there were also management personnel stationed there.
First, they entered information such as name, position, and former employer. While Xu Le and others were entering this information, they chatted casually, and it was all very honest talk:
"Sister Qi, you're sure to become the chief purifier of the new base, right?"
Everyone, including Tian Mengrun, the purifier of the Martial God Team 1 who had never fought alongside Qi An, nodded vigorously.
However, the middle-aged female purifier, who was in her thirties and had slight smile lines around her eyes, paused for a moment when she heard this.
A very distinct cold snort came from the doorway.
