Chapter 78 Rescue is coming
I made pickled pepper and lemon chicken feet and soy sauce eggs.
The refrigerator was not big enough, so he took out a refrigerator with a larger capacity.
Until after nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Sichen had been in the kitchen, so obsessed with his cooking that he didn't even eat dinner.
After filling up the freezer compartments of three refrigerators, he finally stopped with satisfaction.
After making pickled eggs, she also made pickled blue crabs, pickled radishes, boiled chicken, and mouth-watering chicken.
These are all foods that are easy to operate and do not require any oil smoke.
Finally, dinner was just rice with boiled chicken and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.
After dinner, Xu Sichen walked on the treadmill to digest his food while browsing his phone.
On the Internet, the disaster situation continued to worsen, and more and more people were forced to leave their homes and move into resettlement sites arranged by the government.
Every day someone posts about their life in the resettlement site.
Complaining that the food was not tasty, the dog wouldn't eat it even if given to it. The picture was a piece of bread, an egg and a bottle of milk.
They complained about a dirty and messy living environment and that no one came to collect the garbage. The picture showed food packaging bags all over the floor, and it was obvious that they threw them there themselves.
Complaints about not having enough bathrooms, not even being able to take a shower.
There were even malicious speculations that the disaster relief money was embezzled by certain people, which is why they have to live in such a poor place.
Xu Sichen didn't react at all when he saw these pictures.
After all, one day they will get used to it all and even dream of returning to this place.
Xu Sichen slept well all night without any dreams.
For several days, Xu Sichen did not go out, and his daily life gradually became regular.
I run in the morning, learn fighting skills in the evening, take care of the vegetable garden in the morning, and cook in the kitchen in the afternoon following some tutorials on the Internet.
Fried chicken, hamburgers, juice, milk tea, fried rice, fried noodles...
Just make whatever you want, as long as it tastes good.
On the sixth day after that sunny day, when the accumulated water flooded into the fifth floor, rescue workers finally arrived at Central Garden.
According to the rescue calls, they came one by one to pick up the people who needed rescue and transfer.
Xu Sichen heard the noise in the building through the security door.
Amidst the noise, there were complaints about the rescue workers.
"Why are you here so late? Do you think you can wait until we all drown so that you don't have to come to rescue us?"
"We are taxpayers, we pay so much tax every year, and this is how you treat us."
"Why can't I bring a mattress? I spent a lot of money to customize this mattress. I can't sleep without it."
They condescendingly criticized those who came to rescue them, completely ignoring the bloodshot eyes and fatigue on the rescuers' faces.
Han Xiaogang, one of the rescuers from Central Garden, arrived at the eleventh floor panting slightly. He then mechanically raised his hand and knocked on the door, asking, "Hello, does your family have anyone else who needs to be evacuated?"
Qian Li's sharp voice rang out: "Comrade police, you are finally here. My family does not need to be evacuated, but we have no food. Please send me some supplies."
"Sorry, we are responsible for evacuating the affected people. We don't have any supplies with us." Han Xiaogang explained helplessly.
It seems like these words have been repeated thousands of times.
Qian Li immediately refused to do so: "Then you should go back and take care of us now. We are also affected by the disaster. Don't you think we don't need to be evacuated? Why are you just going to ignore us?"
"You said you would serve the people, and this is how you serve us."
No matter how Han Xiaogang explained, Qian Li held them tightly and refused to let go. "No, if we don't have food, our family will starve to death. If you don't give us supplies, don't even think about leaving."
Qian Li didn't stop until another person dressed as an armed police officer came upstairs, scolded her harshly, and warned her that if she made trouble again, she would be taken away.
Han Xiaogang said helplessly: "Captain, why are you here? I can handle it."
Wang Anjun, known as the team leader, glanced at Han Xiaogang's expression and said, "This mission is over. You should go back and rest for a few days. This is an order."
After that, they knocked on the door of room 1102.
Xu Sichen waited for a long time before he heard the sound of him opening the door, followed by Chen Meijuan's delicate voice: "Comrade police officer, thank you for your hard work. We live on a high floor and don't need to move for the time being."
Seeing the two men about to leave, Chen Meijuan quickly called out, "Comrade police, there's an empty room upstairs that's unoccupied. If anyone has nowhere else to stay, can you just pry the door open and stay there temporarily?"
The armed man with a gun frowned and said, "You can contact the owner of the house. You can only enter with the owner's consent. Otherwise, it will be a burglary."
When Chen Meijuan heard this, the smile on her face froze slightly. She said thank you and closed the door.
Inside the door, Sun Caifeng's family had their mouths and noses covered and was tied tightly to a chair.
As the disaster worsened, social order became increasingly chaotic, with more and more people suffering from home invasions and even the annihilation of their entire families.
In order to deter criminals, the serious consequences of breaking the law and committing crimes are emphasized almost every day on the News Broadcast.
In serious cases, the offender may even be executed on the spot.
While Xu Sichen was still wondering why Wei Mingliang downstairs didn't go out, the rescuers had already come up.
Han Xiaogang: "Hello, does your family need to transfer anyone?"
Xu Sichen: "No, thank you! Then can I ask where the transfer will be this time?"
Han Xiaogang: "It's the Shuijing Liyuan next to your community."
"Shuijing Liyuan? Isn't that a newly built residential complex that hasn't been delivered yet?" Xu Sichen asked curiously.
Han Xiaogang wiped the raindrops from the brim of his hat and said, "Yes, the surrounding gymnasiums, libraries, schools, and shopping malls are all full. Shuijing Liyuan has been requisitioned as a temporary shelter. Although it's not yet completed, it can still provide shelter from the wind and rain. The terrain there is high, and the buildings are all 20 or 30 stories high, so it can accommodate quite a few people."
Seeing them turn around and go next door, Xu Sichen said, "The house opposite is also mine. No one needs to move."
Han Xiaogang and Wang Anjun looked at Xu Sichen in surprise.
It’s not that she didn’t lend it out because she had a chance, but she was worried that a little girl occupying two top-floor rooms would be coveted by others.
"Okay, then you should be careful and try not to open the door to people you don't know." Wang Anjun kindly reminded.
"Okay, thank you!" Xu Sichen said and handed over a bag.
The bag contained a few chocolates and bottles of water.
Seeing this, the two of them quickly refused.
Xu Sichen stuffed it directly into their hands: "Take good care of yourself so that you can save more people."
After saying that, without giving them a chance, he went straight into the house and closed the door.
The two of them looked at the things in their hands, and their eyes became moist for a moment.
After transferring so many people, they mostly faced complaints and responsibilities, and no one really cared about them.
