Chapter 208 Why Save Her
"What, Tingting is missing?" Sun Liwen stood up suddenly, and Shen Yuanming's face changed.
"How long has he been missing?" Shen Yuanming asked.
"It's been a day. We've been looking for it for a whole day." Jiang Jian's face was pale. "I'm sorry, Uncle Shen. I didn't take good care of Tingting."
"She wanted to go with us today. I originally disagreed, but she said she would go out on her own if I didn't take her with me. I thought it would be better for her to come with me so I could protect her."
"She stayed by my side at first, but when we found some supplies trapped under a collapsed wall at the factory and needed to dig them out, we asked her to wait nearby. But when we came out, she was gone."
"We searched for a long time nearby, and even on the way back, but we still didn't see anyone..."
"Old Shen, what should we do?" Sun Liwen nervously grabbed Shen Yuanming's arm, "It's getting dark, Tingting has never left us before, she must be scared."
"Send someone to look for him, go to the security team." Shen Yuanming said immediately.
Jiang Jian and Sun Liwen also went along.
The security team was changing shifts. Seeing Shen Yuanming coming, Chen Yaowu was a little surprised, "Leader, what's the matter?"
“My daughter is missing. Please send a few people out to look for her.” Shen Yuanming said.
Many members of the security team are veterans, and some are even scouts, and are very experienced in this area.
Chen Yaowu frowned. "Leader Shen, what is your daughter's identity that you want us to look for her? What contribution has she made to the base that is worthy of us looking for her?"
If before the apocalypse, if someone went missing and reported it to the police, that would be the police's business. But now it's the apocalypse, and so many people go missing every day. Has anyone tried to look for them?
Just because she is the leader's daughter?
Shen Yuanming was stunned. It was true that things were not as good as before. His daughter was of no use to the base. How could he waste the base's police force to look for her?
Sun Liwen was anxious, "That's my daughter..."
Chen Yaowu sneered, "Secretary Sun, do you know how many people go missing at the base every day? If we were to look for every missing person, do you know how much manpower and resources would be required?"
"Just because she's your daughter, we have to go find her? Other people's lives don't count, do they?"
"This..." Sun Liwen choked. It was normal for someone to go missing, but that was her own daughter. How could she just ignore it?
"If we open this loophole today, and someone reports missing tomorrow, and then again the day after tomorrow, should we go looking for them?" Chen Yaowu asked, "Or are only the children of leaders qualified to do so?"
Shen Yuanming fell silent. He usually enforced the law, but he didn't know what to do when it came to his daughter's matter.
Chen Yaowu was right. If he sent someone to look for his daughter today, would he need to look for other people if they went missing in the future?
"And your daughter wasn't kidnapped in the base, right? She went out on her own and no one forced her to do so. Do you know how many people leave the base every day? Do you think we have to go and get her back?" Chen Yaowu sneered.
Sun Liwen was anxious. "How can that be the same? My daughter will never go anywhere else. Her parents are here, so where else would she go?"
"Who knows? What if she feels like somewhere else is better? What if she feels her parents don't love her anymore and runs away out of anger?" Chen Yaowu raised an eyebrow. "She's an adult, not a child. Even before the apocalypse, a case wouldn't be filed within 24 hours."
"If you don't go out and find someone, I will fire you..." Sun Liwen was furious.
"Of course. There are so many people in our security team. If you fire us all, do you think we will have nowhere to go?" Chen Yaowu sneered. Is he threatening himself?
If these people leave and the base's security system is completely paralyzed, let's see how she will end up.
In the past, in the team, if it wasn’t for the order from their superiors, they didn’t want to rescue those rich second-generations and official second-generations. They sacrificed their own comrades to save them, but they didn’t get their gratitude and were even ridiculed. I’m really fed up with it.
Now it is the end of the world, and no one can make them do anything they don’t want to do.
"Then how do you want to find my daughter?" Shen Yuanming looked at Chen Yaowu.
"A generous reward, on a voluntary basis," Chen Yaowu said. "It's not peaceful out there, and it's almost dark. If you want us to find someone who has nothing to do with us, you should at least give us some reward, right?"
"Yes, we are paid by the base, but we are only responsible for the base. It is not our obligation to go outside to find people, so we have to pay them separately. Those who are willing to go can go, and we can't force those who don't want to go."
The other team members nodded. In this apocalyptic world, there are so many evil forces out there. They might even lose their lives. Who would do this without any reward?
Shen Yuanming gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, after the matter of those who are willing to go is completed, each person will get 20 points, which will be paid from my own account."
Twenty points are equivalent to forty kilograms of food, which is not a small amount.
"You mean after it's done? How do you know it's done? What if the person is not found, or is gone? What then? It would be a wasted trip?" Chen Yaowu sneered.
Jiang Jian was furious. "You didn't find the person yet and you still want a reward? That's wishful thinking!"
Chen Yaowu looked at him and said, "Then you guys can go by yourselves. We are about to get off work, so I'm sorry I can't keep you company!"
"You..." Jiang Jian was almost angry to death, but he didn't dare to say anything harsh because he had to ask for help. What if they really didn't go? How would he find them by himself?
"From tonight to tomorrow afternoon, if you don't find the person, come back within 24 hours. Each person will get 10 points. If you find the person, you will get 20 points. If you are injured, you will get additional points. Is that okay?" Shen Yuanming looked at Chen Yaowu.
Chen Yaowu nodded and looked at his team members. "Except for those on duty tonight, who among you is willing to go? Ten people at most."
“I’ll go!”
“I’ll go!”
Someone raised his hand, saying that it was worth it even if there were only ten points. It only took one day, which was equivalent to half a month's work.
Some people didn't want to go. Their wages and food were enough to feed them, so they didn't want to take the risk. Things weren't peaceful out there, and it wasn't worth losing your life for a few points.
Lu Lin didn't say anything. She didn't really want to go. That woman was just being a troublemaker. If she wasn't taught a lesson, she would dare to run around again next time.
Chen Yaowu looked at her and said, "Lu Lin, come with us!"
"Ah?" Lu Lin was surprised. She didn't expect the captain to ask her to go.
Chen Yaowu frowned slightly. "She's a girl. If...something happens, it would be more convenient to have a girl. Besides..."
You are still sisters.
However, Chen Yaowu thought that Lu Lin had just been recognized and might not have any feelings for Shen Ting, so he didn't say anything else.
Sun Liwen's heart trembled when she thought of that possibility. She looked at Lu Lin for help, "Linlin, please go too. I'm begging you. What if your sister...? I really don't know what to do."
Lu Lin frowned and thought, forget it, just go. If an ordinary girl encountered such a thing, she would probably go without hesitation. This time, she would just think of it as helping a stranger.
