Chapter 208 Still Waiting



But no one came the next day either.

Yuan Zhiyi became a little anxious.

The staff in charge of registering the survivors were worried that someone would pack up and rush over overnight, so they did not go back to their rooms to sleep, but stayed in the reception cabin all night.

The staff member stood up with dark circles under his eyes and said, "I'll go to the deck to take a look."

Yuan Zhiyi has been there several times: "No need to go, I just checked and no one is here yet."

The staff member sat down and finally couldn't help complaining, "How much belongings do these people have? Can't they move all of it?"

"Wait a little longer." Yuan Zhiyi frowned slightly. "After all," she made up an excuse, "the weather is bad. The ice is so thick and the road is slippery. It will be difficult to go down the mountain."

But Yuan Zhiyi still felt a little restless. She vaguely realized that they might have been a little too careless and did not understand the First Base well after arriving.

She sighed, "I don't know what's going on at the First Base. Could it be..." She paused, "Could it be that they're being detained and can't leave?"

After all, the First Base was from the military and had weapons in their hands. If they wanted to detain people, there was really nothing they could do. But her parents said that Zhao Xian would not be that kind of person.

Moreover, she has been paying attention to radio news in the past few days. Everyone's communication and discussion are very normal, and she has not heard any rumors about this.

The staff member remembered something and reminded, "Zhiyi, isn't that pretty woman who came a few days ago the one who came to seek refuge from the First Base? Just ask her."

Yuan Zhiyi then remembered this person, and she asked, "Call Miss Shen who came to seek refuge here so that I can find out what the situation is at the First Base."

After a while, Shen Xingtang was brought over.

"Miss Shen, I would like to ask you, are the heating facilities in the First Base particularly good? Will the people there not suffer from the cold?"

Hearing Yuan Zhiyi's question, Shen Xingtang didn't care: "Keep warm? Anyway, when I came out, many of them were still hiding in the cave and couldn't come out because the wind was too strong. Some of them didn't even have the most basic cotton clothes to wear!"

Shen Xingtang was almost always locked up in the observation room during this period, and it was difficult for her to get in touch with other people. She was cut off from the news. After she came out, she vaguely heard something about distributing cotton-padded clothes to those who did not have enough cotton-padded clothes before.

Shen Xingtang recalled: "They have no clothes, so we can use the leather and cotton interlayers from car seats to make clothes..."

Before she left, she vaguely heard people discussing something like a rabbit fur coat. But she didn't pay attention to it. She didn't see any rabbit fur coat either, so she was probably dreaming and joking.

When Yuan Zhiyi heard this, his eyes widened: "Can that keep you warm?"

Car seat fabrics used to make cotton-padded clothes? Can you wear them? Isn't this too shabby? You'll freeze to death!

The staff nearby also sighed: "We have helped many people before. They had no clothes to wear. They were also like this. We patched a little here and there, and pieced together some scraps of cloth to make clothes."

"The clothes made in this way have basically no warmth."

Yuan Zhiyi was surprised and puzzled: "Why is it that when we distribute fish skin clothes, no one comes?"

Shen Xingtang was also stuck. She frowned and looked out the window: "Because the weather is too cold. We can't go out. As long as the wind blows a little stronger, no one will go out."

The staff member suddenly realized: "That's right. They don't have any cotton clothes to wear yet, so if they want to go out, they must choose a time when it's not so cold."

Another staff member agreed: "That's definitely the case. I think they have to slowly pack up their belongings before coming. They have survived for so long, so they must have some belongings. If they want to come, they have to pack up all their belongings and bring them with them. They can't leave them at the First Base."

"Yes, we need to pack up everything, and then we need to pick a warm time. Oh, and the weather department has already given us a forecast, right? The day after tomorrow will be the hottest day. They may want to come at that time."

Yuan Zhiyi, who was originally frowning and disappointed, listened to the employee's idea and nodded: "Yes, that must be the case."

She said, "It's because we don't have this kind of trouble that we didn't think about it. People are not the kind of people who can go out as soon as they say so. It must be because they have to wait!"

Her heart settled down again, and she looked at Shen Xingtang: "By the way, your name is Shen Xingtang, right? I will call you Xingtang. Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I would have started to have wild thoughts. By the way, have you eaten? Let's eat together?"

[Host, Yuan Zhiyi is the daughter of two lords of the Sea Fortress. You can take this opportunity to get close to her and be nice to her in order to gain the favor of the lord of the Sea Fortress.]

After hearing the system's reminder, Shen Xingtang nodded and smiled: "Of course."

Yuan Zhiyi took Shen Xingtang to the restaurant.

In order to get closer to Yuan Zhiyi, Shen Xingtang found a topic: "Before, when I was in the First Base, I always ate the military rations they issued. They were dry and tasteless!"

Shen Xingtang’s own system could provide her with food, but when she was at the First Base, she was under strict surveillance and could only eat military rations under the eyes of others.

What she said was true. The military rations were dry and tasteless, and they would choke if you ate them too quickly. Potatoes were also so-so if you ate too many of them. The bowl of pumpkin soup that she occasionally got from Brother An Tu was quite comfortable, but she only drank it once.

After finally coming out, she used her points to have the system exchange her food for a few days, and her stomach finally felt better.

Because of this, even though she had been on the ship for two or three days, she had not eaten any food on the ship.

But this did not stop her from praising it. She swore, "Unlike your marine fish and sea vegetables, which are rich and comprehensive, and taste pretty good, I like your food better!"

Yuan Zhiyi was very happy to be praised: "Then you made the right decision to come to our sea fort!"

Shen Xingtang listened to the system's report and was very happy about Yuan Zhiyi's growing favorability towards her.

This happiness completely disappeared when the seaweed entered my mouth.

She almost vomited in front of Yuan Zhiyi.

Oh my god, what does this smell like? Is this food?

But even if she didn't vomit, Yuan Zhiyi noticed her unusual expression and hesitated: "What's wrong? ...Is it not delicious?"

The first time it was someone who ate sea vegetables, they had this expression. But, hasn’t Shen Xingtang been on the boat for several days, eating these all the time? Didn’t she also say that she liked them very much?

Shen Xingtang was so choked by the peculiar smell that tears came to her eyes. She endured the nausea, nodded, and forced a smile: "It's delicious, I just..."

"I bit my tongue."
