Chapter 22 Airplane Rescue
Jinghai City has already carried out two airplane rescues. The first two were to transfer important people, including but not limited to technicians, people with special abilities, etc. Starting from the third time, it is the transfer of the masses.
The masses will also be divided into different levels. Before the doomsday, those who have high social status, those who are related to people with backgrounds, those who have capital and money, and those who have great influence... these people will be rescued first.
This is how it is in the doomsday, and this is the rule.
The masses dare not speak out, and even complain secretly, because once they make trouble, there is only one result, that is, they will be abandoned for rescue.
Although the long wait makes them despair, if they are not abandoned, they still have hope. Once they are included in the list of prohibited rescue, that is real despair.
He Wenxi, however, still didn't know when he would be rescued.
He Wenxi had superpowers, but they hadn't been activated yet.
In his previous life, He Wenxi's superpowers were activated half a year after the doomsday. At that time, he and Pei Yu were facing a zombie tide and a battle with humanity. Their lives were hanging by a thread. Pei Yu narrowly escaped, but both were seriously injured.
At this critical moment of life and death, He Wenxi's desire to survive broke out, and his superpowers were awakened.
During this time, He Wenxi contacted Pei Yu frantically, bombarding the entire platform with phone calls every day, and sending thousands of text messages, which were still increasing.
Pei Yu had anticipated this, as the backup plane had not been turned on once in so many days.
And today was the fourth air rescue in Jinghai City.
He needed to contact He Wenxi to confirm whether he was dead or alive.
Pei Yu had just turned on the backup phone when the brand new phone was flashed by too many message cards. Before it could recover, He Wenxi called first.
Pei Yu raised his eyebrows at the discomfort of the phone jamming, and then casually placed the phone on the sofa. When the phone recovered, he did not answer He Wenxi's call.
Wen Shu curiously stretched out her paw to touch the phone, and was then picked up by Pei Yu and rubbed the kitten's face.
"Meow~"
Wen Shu shook her head dissatisfiedly, showing her sharp teeth to scare Pei Yu.
After all, it was a new phone and he hadn't used it much before, so it recovered quickly. In the short one-minute time that Wen Shu and Pei Yu were interacting, He Wenxi's phone had been ringing several times.
When the incoming call message popped up again, Pei Yu answered the call. Because he was playing with the kitten and couldn't use his hands, he turned on the speakerphone.
As soon as the call was connected, the other party seemed to have no reaction. After a few seconds, He Wenxi's excited and slightly complaining voice rang.
He Wenxi, "Brother! What happened to you recently? Have you encountered any danger? Why didn't you answer my call? I'm really worried about you! Brother? Why didn't you say anything? Are you okay now? Brother?"
Pei Yu pinched the kitten's chin, and the kitten squinted comfortably, with its two front paws still holding his wrist.
He responded nonchalantly and smiled, "Which of your series of questions should I answer first?"
He Wenxi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his voice, "I was scared to death, I thought something happened to you, brother, the situation is very urgent now, and I don't have time to tell you too much. Where are you now? Jinghai City is preparing for the fourth air rescue operation. If you can come to the city, you will definitely be the first to get on the plane!"
"Really? But I have already sold my assets..." Pei Yu changed the subject, "Which batch of rescue are you on?"
He Wenxi pursed his lips, "I don't know yet. I'm not on the fourth batch... Brother, I have managed to find two bags of seeds you asked me to find. The seeds are mixed, one bag is for fruits and the other is for vegetables. But in this situation, how can I give them to you?"
The seed seller took away a lot of his food. After He Wenxi received the goods, he found that the seeds inside were of different sizes and shapes. Some were dry and he didn't know if they could still germinate. When he wanted to find the man to return the goods, the man ran away without a trace.
Pei Yu, "I'm in the suburbs now. I can't get into the city. There are zombies everywhere outside."
He didn't say the solution, but only talked about the current situation he was facing.
He Wenxi was a little anxious, "Brother, in order to exchange for this seed, I gave out a lot of food. Now eating and drinking has become a problem. Those of us who are left in the city now have no ability. My parents went to my uncle's place at the beginning. I didn't bring my ID card or anything. They don't believe that I am from the He family. Now I haven't even got my turn on the plane..."
He had a slightly complaining tone, and then hesitantly asked, "Brother, are you living alone in the suburbs? Then... have you also awakened and become a superpower?"
Pei Yu could imagine how he looked when he asked the question. He must have been holding his mobile phone, hesitantly and anxiously waiting for his answer.
Pei Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I have awakened my superpowers."
He Wenxi on the other end of the phone paused for two or three seconds after hearing this, and then said in surprise, "...That's great, brother, can't you come to see me? You are so powerful, and now that you have awakened your superpowers, you must be even more powerful. Although I am an ordinary person, I will definitely not hold you back! I can still take care of you, why don't you take me over to live with you? Okay?"
When he said the latter part, the dependence and coquettishness in his tone came out naturally.
He has been like this almost since he was a child.
But what he didn't expect was that this time Pei Yu not only did not directly agree to him, but also rejected him.
Pei Yu, "I'm afraid not. There are too many zombies outside. Do you think I can handle so many zombies by myself?"
He Wenxi smiled reluctantly, "What can I do? Brother, I really can't do it without you. I have problems eating and drinking now. Jinghai City... Jinghai City is about to fall, and I heard some news these two days that I don't know whether it is true or not, saying that there will only be five air rescues. After five times, the remaining people can only rely on themselves."
After the fifth rescue operation, there were not many survivors left in Jinghai City. By then, no one knew whether there would be a sixth rescue.
After all, they are just ordinary people. Even if they can kill zombies, what can they do? They
can only do some physical work.
But there are many ordinary people in the south. Accepting ordinary people from other regions is a burden for them.
In general, they are of no value.
Pei Yu did not intend to have too much conflict with him for the time being, and comforted him, "I will transfer some money to you later. You just hold on for a while. When the fourth batch of rescued people leave, there will be fewer "humans" in Jinghai City. Then I will see if you are on the list of the fifth rescue. If you are still not, I will go to find you."
