Chapter 37 The rescue team has arrived
Even with the help of this large bulldozer, it still took a long time just to clean up the entire city center of South City.
It was not until January this year that the cleanup of the southern suburbs began.
The rescue team was able to quickly dig a road through the resort thanks to the crematorium in front of the service hall that burned day and night.
The huge thick smoke attracted the attention of the rescue team who were clearing the road in the distance. Only then did they realize that there were still so many trapped people in the resort.
Rescue team members said that officials have set up a rescue center in the city square in the city center.
Since October last year, every Monday has been a fixed food distribution day, and food is distributed to all residents in South City.
Each person can receive 5 kilograms of rice and 3 ounces of frozen meat per week. Just bring your ID card to claim it, and you cannot claim it repeatedly.
The authorities also set up shelters near the rescue center, all of which were requisitioned from large surrounding buildings.
For example, in shopping malls and office buildings, the government will provide centralized heating to ensure basic living conditions for refugees.
The rescue team said that anyone who wanted to go to the shelter could go back with them.
There is space for carrying people and cargo in the large forklift. After all, it is the "Savior" developed in the end times!
Many people were tempted when they heard that the government would provide them with food and accommodation and they would no longer have to worry about survival and personal safety.
There were 5 families, totaling 28 people, who went home to pack their luggage and prepare to follow the rescue team to the shelter at night.
Lu Ming, who had finally secured his position as the leader of the alliance, was surrounded by beauties and of course was unwilling to leave the hot spring resort.
The rest are still in a state of hesitation.
After all, Lu Ming still has a large amount of food and supplies in his hands. If he leaves now, it will be a bargain for others.
We have to wait until we get the food and supplies before we can talk about moving.
Mu Jiu would definitely not leave here. In her previous life, she had been to an official shelter and stayed there for quite a long time.
Because the natural disaster came suddenly and the official emergency hardware facilities were limited, the environment was extremely poor.
Basically, apart from a bed, there is no place for you to stay, let alone take a bath, cook, plant flowers, or raise chickens and ducks.
In addition, due to the large number of refugees and the lack of scientific rigor in management, fights among people and thefts often occur.
If it weren't for the extremely cold weather and the fact that there was nowhere else to go, no one would want to stay in such a smoky and foul place.
Bad breath mixed with foot odor, thick phlegm can be seen everywhere, and the smell of urine wafts out from hidden corners from time to time...
In order to keep the room warm, only a few high window vents in the huge shelter were open.
Endless snoring, quarrels between men and women, crying children, and so on.
In short, the feeling of suffocation and irritability in it is indescribable.
Together with the severe cold outside the shelter, it was a double torture to the body and mind.
Every time I open my eyes, I feel like I have come to this world to survive a tribulation and I want to die immediately.
Compared with the hot spring resort, it is completely different.
What's more, the reason why Mu Jiu chose to move to the hot spring resort was not just for the hot springs here.
This is because this large area will be included in the land acquisition scope of the Southern Joint Base in the near future.
If Mu Jiu doesn't leave, the Gu brothers and sisters will certainly not move easily. After all, there are tens of thousands of kilograms of frozen fish buried in the yard!
As for the mother and daughter of the Lou family next door, Mother Lou is an old hand and knows that in such troubled times, orphans and widows are easily bullied outside.
I have finally gotten to know such a great person like Miss Mu next door. How could I easily abandon her and follow the trend to embrace the unknown?
As a result, the entire resort, including Mu Jiu, the Gu brothers and sisters, and the Lou mother and daughter, only had 10 households left, with a total of 50 people.
In order to facilitate communication with each other, people in the resort moved in together as if they had agreed beforehand.
All gathered near villa 050.
Two days after the rescue team left, the Counterattack Alliance headed by Lu Ming was officially renamed the Hot Spring Resort Neighborhood Committee!
The meeting place and future office location are fixed in the original butler service hall.
Because there were ready-made conference tables, chairs and benches, as well as several new fireplaces built by the housekeepers later, there were also a kitchen, a dining room, dormitories, and even places for leisure and entertainment.
The first meeting of the neighborhood committee was a commendation meeting, and the person being commended was actually Mu Jiu!
On behalf of the neighborhood committee, Lu Ming invited Mu Jiu to attend the meeting and thanked her for stepping forward and saving everyone from danger in difficult times.
He said that he would lead everyone to set up a longevity tablet for Mu Jiu at the entrance of the village to commemorate her merits.
Mu Jiu refused. She didn’t want to shorten her life, and she didn’t do it just to protect everyone.
If those people hadn't insisted on putting their heads under her knife to annoy her, she really didn't want to move even 1 millimeter.
Seeing that she didn't ask for anything, Lu Ming discussed with the members of the neighborhood committee and sent her a large amount of supplies!
These included rice, dry goods, daily necessities, etc., which were spread out in a large area in front of the entrance of her yard.
This is sincerity.
Given her a living being, what's the point of setting up a monument at the entrance of the village, for passersby to sit and rest? Or to scrape the soles of their shoes? Or to curse her to die early?
After distributing Mu Jiu's share of supplies, the remaining nine households in the neighborhood committee also received their supplies one by one.
Because the resort’s staff was drastically reduced, the supplies we received this time were exceptionally abundant, which was a pleasant surprise.
After distributing the food, the Gu siblings and the Lou mother and daughter found an insignificant excuse to withdraw from the neighborhood committee. They didn't want to get involved in the affairs anymore.
After all, where there are many people, there will be intrigue and deception.
After experiencing more than half a year of oppression, I really want to live a free life and don’t want to be bound anymore.
However, the neighborhood committee of 50 people did not get upset just because four people quit.
Instead, they were foolishly rejoicing that the fewer people there were, the more food they would get next time there was a good opportunity to distribute food!
Life returned to normal. After experiencing life and death, the relationship between the three families 048\/049\/050 gradually improved.
Mu Jiu is not a cold and unapproachable person. She just keeps a safe distance from everyone because of her experiences in her previous life.
She had no objection to interacting with the two families, except for the agreed dinner at Villa 048.
Now she would occasionally go to Villa 049 to have lunch prepared by Lou’s mother or have afternoon tea.
As expected of a housewife who has passed the chef's exam, she is very accomplished in cooking.
Everything she makes is delicious and tasty, and even simple dishes can be made to be top-notch delicious!
Mother Lou knew that the Gu siblings had a good relationship with Mu Jiu, so she would invite them to come over for dinner and treat them like her own children, very kindly.
The Gu brothers and sisters are sensible. They never come here empty-handed, but always bring supplies. In the last days, it is basic courtesy and respect not to eat for free.
After visiting the large area of vegetables and fruits planted in Lou Nan's sunroom, the Gu brothers and sisters were filled with envy.
Gu Yang also wanted his sister to eat fresh tomatoes and strawberries!
After consulting Mu Jiu, he began to dismantle the necessary assembly parts in the empty villa.
Such as glass, stainless steel bar bracket and so on.
A small glass greenhouse was also built on the balcony of villa 048.
As for tasks such as digging, composting and sowing seeds, they were all completed under Lou Nan's step-by-step instruction.
It only took a week before I saw little green sprouts popping out!
It was also the time when the seeds began to sprout, and those who had previously moved to the shelter with their families following the rescue team moved back!
