Chapter 187 People are coming
That night, except for Xu Sichen, all the senior executives of the Chenguang Base did not sleep. They all gathered on the rooftop of the service hall and looked towards the direction of the Haichuan Base.
Wei Mingliang's neck was sore, and he couldn't help but complain to Wang Anjun beside him: "Brother Wang, it's almost dawn, why haven't those people shown up yet? Could something have happened?"
Wei Mingliang is the youngest among them. He is usually called "big brother" or "big sister" and only addressed by his position when it comes to work.
Wang Anjun was also anxious and looked at his watch countless times.
According to the time they calculated, it should be almost here. Could something really have happened?
"Alright, you've been standing all night. Come sit down and have some tea!" Chen Youhui, who was sitting nearby examining the blueprints, advised, "You've practically taught them everything. If anything goes wrong, it's their own fault for not seizing the opportunity. The base commander also said that it's a good thing they can come, but we won't force them if they can't. We may be short on manpower right now, but Jiangcheng is so big, there must be many survivors scattered around. We can just slowly search for them."
Wei Mingliang pouted and sat down next to Chen Youhui, sighing, "Okay, then we can only leave it to fate."
Chen Youhui knocked his head in annoyance: "Why are you sighing at such a young age? Be careful not to sigh away your good luck!"
"Thump, thump, thump!" Someone ran up from downstairs. When they looked over, they saw that it was Han Xiaogang, who was in charge of logistics.
"Captain, all the registration booths and resettlement centers have been cleared. When will the people come over?"
Wang Anjun was a little confused: "I still want to know."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone else ran up.
It was Old Huang, the head chef of the cafeteria: "Captain Wang, it's already this late, why hasn't anyone come yet? All the relief lunch boxes in the cafeteria are ready."
The head chef, Lao Huanglian, didn't even take off his chef's hat. He was sweating all over from running, and it was obvious that he was very anxious.
Later, even Xu Hongmei from the hospital came. Before she could say anything, Wei Mingliang said, "Aunt Xu, you must be saying that the bed at the hospital has been vacated, so why hasn't this person moved yet?"
Xu Hongmei smiled and poked the little rascal's head.
According to their plan and the group's travel time, they expected people to arrive by five in the morning.
But it’s almost seven o’clock now.
Wang Anjun: "Wait another hour. If there is no movement after an hour, let all the staff on duty go back and rest."
After all, it was a matter of increasing the population of the base, so several of the responsible persons stayed behind to wait together.
When Wei Mingliang was almost falling asleep while waiting, Han Xiaogang shouted loudly, almost scaring him to fall off the chair.
“Here they come!”
When Wei Mingliang walked to the window, he saw a group of ragged people supporting each other and walking towards them very slowly.
Although they only saw it from a distance, they could see that these people were not in a good condition.
"I'll find someone to pick them up!" Wang Anjun said as he ran downstairs quickly.
Xu Hongmei quickly followed: "I'll bring the emergency doctor with you!"
Seeing this, the head chef, Old Huang, was also very worried. He walked downstairs while muttering, "I'll make some brown sugar millet porridge to make it easier to absorb the nutrients."
In just a few minutes, only Old Chen and Wei Mingliang were left.
Wei Mingliang was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'll go tell my sister the good news."
After saying that, he ran away.
Chen Youhui looked at the slowly moving crowd outside, then muttered to himself, "This blueprint needs to be revised. I don't know how many people the base will accept in the future, so I still have to reserve space in advance."
For a moment, everyone in the base became busy.
"Mom, mom, hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon!"
"Xiaobao, wake up. Look ahead, that's where we're going to the Chenguang Base. Your Grandpa Feng said there will be delicious food there. Don't you want a lollipop? When we get there, Daddy will buy it for you!"
Xiaobao, who was carried on his father's back, said weakly, "Is what Grandpa Feng said true? Are there really lollipops to eat?"
The Grandpa Feng they were talking about was the old man who was sent to the Morning Light Base. Hearing the voice, he reached out and touched the child's head and said, "It's true. Grandpa Feng never lies, right?"
When Wang Anjun and his men drove over, he was shocked by the person in front of him.
I had seen him from a distance before and felt that his condition must be not good, but I didn't expect it to be so bad.
Most of them were skinny and bony, and many of them were covered in blood. Through their tattered clothes, one could even see that they had many festering wounds on their bodies.
Among them, women and children were in the worst condition. Most of them were carried on the backs of their relatives, with their uncovered skin covered with bruises and purples. It was easy to imagine what they had been through.
Wang Anjun clenched his hands suddenly, and he wanted to just pick up his gun and shoot all those beasts.
At this time, Xu Hongmei had already run up with others, ready to provide first aid to the seriously ill patient.
However, when the people who had just escaped from the Haichuan base saw Wang Anjun and others, they were immediately frightened and huddled together, their faces full of horror.
Wang Anjun stepped forward and shouted, "Hello everyone, don't be afraid. We are from the Morning Light Base. We are here to pick you up."
Then he walked towards Uncle Feng who was at the front, shook his hand and said, "Uncle, thank you for your hard work!"
Uncle Feng's eyes were red as he choked up and said, "It's not hard. As long as I can survive, it's not hard!"
Soon, those in the worst condition were carried onto the bus first, followed by the elderly, the weak, and the sick.
There was glucose and saline solution in the car, and the doctor asked each person to drink some according to their physical condition.
No one fought for it, but quietly followed the arrangements. Some even voluntarily gave up their seats to those who were in worse situations.
Such qualities made Wang Anjun very happy. At least the base commander took in a person who was not a conscienceless person.
When they arrived at the base, those with serious illnesses were sent directly to the hospital. Those who were still able to hold on were first registered. After registration, they were also assisted by guards to go to the hospital.
The situation of this group of people was really terrible. There were more than 2,000 people in total, and 80% of them needed to be hospitalized for treatment. For a time, the hospital was overcrowded, and there were far from enough beds and staff.
After consulting Xu Sichen, Han Xiaogang selected an empty building and had his men quickly clean it up to serve as a temporary ward.
Wang Anjun was calculating the staff under him, wondering if he could transfer some personnel from the guards to assist the hospital.
But after all, their responsibility concerns the safety of the base, and they cannot relax at all when receiving refugees from the Haichuan base.
Just when they were worried, a group of aunties and grandmas came over and reported: "Captain Wang, we heard that there are new people joining the base. Is there anything we can help you with?"
