Zhu Wende answered confidently: "It's pork."
"Recently, the official store has added many new types of fresh meat, but unfortunately the prices are too high, so I bought the cheapest pork to satisfy my craving."
Knowing that the official store sold fresh meat, Xu Qianyao didn't think much about it and shared the remaining piece of meat in the bowl with the team member next to him.
"Make up for it. You've worked hard today."
"If Xiaoer were here, he likes to eat meat the most..."
Thinking of the dead team member, Xu Qianyao hurriedly lowered his head to eat noodles, and tears fell into the bowl.
The other three team members also fell into sorrow.
The atmosphere became heavy, and Zhu Wende spoke to comfort them.
"The dead are gone, the living are here, we have to look forward."
"Brother Zhu is right. We don't know how many people are waiting for our rescue outside. Our top priority is to conserve our energy and wait for the sandstorm to pass."
Xu Qianyao and his team members regained their spirits.
After dinner, Zhu Wende brought in some bedding: "There is only one bedroom in my house. My sick old mother lives there. It is not convenient for outsiders to come in. You can only sleep on the floor in the living room tonight."
"It's okay, thank you for your help." Xu Qianyao took the bedding and spread it on the ground with the team members.
Jiang Fei did not rest. He sat on the sofa and called Lu Yu once an hour using the intercom.
However, no one responded.
No one responded from the patrol team.
Jiang Fei didn't know what to do except wait, so he just waited until dawn.
The sound of the wind outside has decreased significantly.
Jiang Fei went to the observation hole of the north window in the living room to look outside.
The dust situation is more severe than yesterday, and the visibility is about 100 meters.
The sky was an eerie reddish-orange color.
The air was turbid, filled with yellow sand and dust, as well as garbage bags, pebbles, branches, etc. blown up by the wind.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of sand, revealing half an arm, a calf, and a round ball that looked like a human head. It was unknown how many bodies were buried there.
Xu Qianyao borrowed a walkie-talkie from Jiang Fei and contacted the rescue team.
"I'm Xu Qianyao, the captain of the rescue team. I want to know the current situation outside and whether we can go out."
After calling several times, a woman's hoarse voice came from the intercom.
"Captain, I'm Yin Jing. There are too many injured people. The team members went to rescue them. I'm the only one left in the team."
"The extremely strong sandstorm has now dropped to the level of blowing sand, with wind force 6. You can go out. Where are you? I'll pick you up."
Xu Qianyao: "You don't have to come over, we will join the rescue directly."
After returning the intercom to Jiang Fei, Xu Qianyao asked Zhu Wende: "Can you lend me the scissors in your house?"
"I want to cut some clothes and make some masks."
"Why are you cutting my clothes? I have sand protection."
Zhu Wende took out 5 transparent plastic face shields and 5 disposable masks from the locker in the living room:
"I work as an auto mechanic. I often do sanding and painting. I have a lot of dust and anti-toxic supplies. You can use them and don't have to think about returning them to me."
"Thank you, Brother Zhu. You've helped us so much." Xu Qianyao took the things and distributed them to Jiang Fei and the team members.
The mask is not fully covered, but it can protect the eyes.
Wearing a mask can protect you from sand and dust.
After saying goodbye to Zhu Wende, Jiang Fei and others left his house.
Since there were no single doors, the windows in the corridor were broken, causing a lot of sand to accumulate in the corridor.
The temperature of 49℃ makes the temperature of the sand and dust rise.
Jiang Fei was wearing long pants and sneakers, so he didn't feel anything.
The team members were wearing big shorts and flip-flops, and when they stepped into the dust, they felt like they were being roasted.
"It's hot."
One team member was so scalded that he had to run to a high step and stand there, with the skin on his feet and ankles visibly red.
"Wait here for me. I'll go borrow some shoes from the nearest team members."
After saying that, Jiang Fei went downstairs quickly.
The dust outside was darker than that in the corridor, almost reaching an adult's calves.
Jiang Fei walked slowly, found an empty corner, and took out an off-road vehicle.
In this kind of environment with sand everywhere, only off-road vehicles can be driven.
Then, he took out 4 pairs of high boots, 5 thin scarves, and 5 medical protective masks.
Medical ones are better than ordinary ones and can completely isolate floating dust and inhalable particles in the air.
Jiang Fei changed his mask first, wrapped his ears and neck with a scarf, and returned to the corridor.
"You guys change, I'm going to go find my friends and make sure they're safe."
Xu Qianyao nodded and changed shoes with his teammates.
Jiang Fei walked out of the single building and drove away in an SUV.
The rescue team is already doing the rescue.
Even though the safety center has secured many dangerous items that can be blown away by the wind, it cannot take care of all of them.
In particular, some residents did not follow the official arrangements and received wooden boards to seal the windows.
Almost every residential building had broken windows.
There is a floor-to-ceiling window in the house, and the entire piece of glass is gone, so the sofa is half exposed through the window and is precarious.
There were desperate cries and coughs everywhere.
"Child! My child is missing! Please help me find him! Cough cough cough!"
"Hubby... How can I live without you?! I should have listened to you and sealed the windows! I was wrong!"
"Ahem, it's you, stupid woman, who killed my son! I'm going to kill you!"
And on the road.
Some survivors had their legs crushed by the overturned car and screamed for help in pain.
Some had their heads crushed by the colored steel tiles blown by the strong wind, leaving only their bodies exposed.
Jiang Fei even saw a corpse hanging outside the third floor of a residential building.
A steel bar pierced through the chest of the corpse and entered the room through the window.
As there was no response from Lu Yu on the intercom, Jiang Fei went to the nearest West Street.
Most of the shops have sealed their windows, which is less severe than the residential areas, except that the doors are damaged and have been let in by sand.
Apart from the loss of goods, there were not many casualties.
The doors and windows of the An supermarket were tightly closed, and suitable iron plates were installed outside the door to avoid the sandstorm.
The door of the branch is gone.
Jiang Fei got out of the car and walked in.
The shelves, water tanks, large freezers and cash register on the first floor were all tilted.
The goods were scattered all over the ground and covered by sand.
Jiang Zhengkang and two other people put on goggles and masks, and were crying as they cleaned up the sand on the ground.
Jiang Xiaoshi was the first to notice Jiang Fei at the door: "Dad Jiang, Brother Han Yang, the big sister is here!"
Han Yang knelt down in front of Jiang Fei, his eyes red: "Boss, please kill me!"
"It was my mistake. I was a step too slow and didn't bring the iron plate to seal the door, so the branch was destroyed by the sandstorm."
Jiang Zhengkang told the truth: "Fei Fei, I am also wrong in this matter."
"We found out it was windy yesterday, so we immediately went to seal the door of the Ang An supermarket, and then ran back to seal the branch store."
"Because the iron plate is too heavy, one person can't move it, so it takes two people to move it."
"By the time Han Yang and I ran back to the branch, it was already too late. The wind was too strong to close the door, so we hid on the second floor and sealed the door there."
"You can ask us to compensate you or drive us away..." Jiang Zhengkang nervously grabbed Jiang Xiaoshi's hand.
Jiang Fei asked Han Yang to stand up: "You have tried your best to defend the store. None of us expected the sandstorm to come early."
"The rescue team said that yesterday's sandstorm was extremely severe. You are lucky to be alive."
"Seal the door. Don't pack up the things here yet. We'll do it later. You guys go to room 203, Building 2, Mingshang Apartment Complex."
Jiang Fei gave the key to Room 203 to Jiang Zhengkang: "Has Lu Yu been here?"
"No, we haven't seen him."
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed across Jiang Fei's eyes, and he drove to the patrol team.
Lu Yu was not in the dormitory.
Jiang Fei found his roommate and asked.
Knowing that Lu Yu had gone out yesterday morning, Jiang Fei became more and more irritated when he returned.
Where are my teammates?
Just when Jiang Fei was about to search according to the location where Lu Yu was patrolling, the walkie-talkie in his hand rustled.
"I'm a member of the patrol team! Who is closest to Fengming Road?! Come to the rescue!"
"There's a comrade trapped under a car! We need someone to help lift the car!"
The team member standing next to Jiang Fei hurriedly said: "This is the voice of our third brother in the dormitory! He should be with Lu Yu!"
