A convoy of sled pickup trucks, fully loaded with food and other supplies, sped across the thick snowfield, leaving deep tracks in their wake, like giant steel dragons traversing the boundless white world in winter.
They traveled in silence, and soon the convoy, led by Chen Yu, arrived at the first relief point.
Located in the west of the city, this place is the intersection of five large residential areas. It is conservatively estimated that before the extreme cold disaster, there were 50,000 people living here, which was almost one-tenth of the population of Anping City.
However, the extreme cold disaster has been going on for so many days now, and it's unknown how many people are still alive.
"Lele, it's your turn." Chen Yu handed the megaphone to Lin Lele.
Lin Lele reluctantly took the megaphone, pulled out a slip of paper from her pocket, and checked the opening script for today's event once again.
Deep down, she didn't want to be the "spokesperson" anymore, because she already knew a bit about Chen Yu's plan. This "spokesperson" role was purely thankless and could potentially lead to her being ambushed later.
But there was nothing she could do. She knew she had already made a name for herself yesterday, and even if she didn't act as the "spokesperson" today, she would likely incur the wrath of a large group of people. If she angered Chen Yu again and he kicked her out of the post-apocalyptic bunker, it would truly be a loss, leaving her isolated and helpless.
Thinking of this, Lin Lele sighed inwardly, temporarily suppressing her dissatisfaction, adjusting her state, and preparing to begin her "performance".
Suddenly, she raised an eyebrow, her eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Feng Xinran, saying, "Sister Xinran, why don't you handle this? You're the policewoman of Anping, and the people trust you more."
"Hehe, this is a rare opportunity to shine! Once the natural disaster is over, a promotion and a raise are just around the corner!"
Lin Lele blinked her big eyes and stared at Feng Xinran with a "sincere" expression, trying to persuade her.
At the same time, he handed the megaphone in his hand to Feng Xinran.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xinran frowned and immediately became wary.
She felt that her relationship with Lin Lele was not harmonious, and neither of them liked the other.
Even during the recent trip to the Zhongyang Grain Depot, Lin Lele pointed a gun at her forehead and almost killed her.
Clearly, Lin Lele's actions were like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—she had no good intentions.
Feng Xinran knew perfectly well that there must be a hidden agenda behind Lin Lele's sudden "good intentions".
She glanced at Lin Lele discreetly, taking in the cunning and probing in her large, shifting eyes.
"Hehe, Lele, I appreciate your kindness." Feng Xinran smiled slightly and gently pushed the megaphone back. "However, I just joined your operation today and haven't contributed anything yet. I'm completely clueless and don't know anything. It's good to show off, but we can't cheat, can we? The credit should belong to whoever deserves it. It wouldn't be fair to you if I took it."
"It's okay, I'm just an ordinary citizen." Lin Lele waved her hand dismissively, then glanced at Chen Yu: "For me, promotions and raises only require my boss's approval, unlike you, a rising star in the police force, who has to rely on your own efforts and public recognition for every step. Besides, you know I really don't have any talent in this area. I get incredibly nervous every time I stand on stage, afraid of saying the wrong thing. In comparison, you're very experienced, and just standing there gives me a sense of security."
As Lin Lele spoke, she handed the megaphone to Feng Xinran again, this time offering it with both hands, appearing very sincere, as if she were truly considering Feng Xinran's well-being.
"Little Lele, this isn't fair to you." Feng Xinran politely pushed the loudspeaker away again.
"Sister Xinran, please stop refusing me. Do we need to be so formal about who's who?"
…………
Chen Yu, who had been watching the two women put on a show of "sisterly affection" and engage in a tug-of-war, had long lost his patience and immediately interrupted them: "Enough! The disaster victims are waiting for food. Do you think this is child's play?"
Then, he looked at Lin Lele and said, "If you're ready, get started quickly, time waits for no one!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Lele pouted and had no choice but to give up her idea of dragging Feng Xinran into the trap.
However, although her wishful thinking did not work out, she still couldn't help but want to put Feng Xinran down.
She looked at Feng Xinran with a regretful yet innocent expression and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Xinran, our leaders won't allow me to give you this chance to shine."
"Hehe, it's alright, Lele. Obeying your boss's orders is your duty as a subordinate." Feng Xinran's reply was gentle and appropriate, without showing the slightest anger or displeasure.
This made Lin Lele feel frustrated again, which made her very angry, and her breathing became rapid.
However, feeling Chen Yu's stern gaze, Lin Lele knew that now was not the time to lash out.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and got out of the car.
"Ugh~ I'm so angry! Feng Xinran! Just you wait, one day I will take back everything I've lost!" Lin Lele stood in the snow, clenching her fists tightly, lowering her voice as she spoke harshly.
"Stop dawdling! Can you even do this?" Chen Yu poked his head out of the car and shouted at Lin Lele with an impatient look on his face.
"What's with the rush? If you're so capable, you do it!" Lin Lele finally couldn't help but retort to Chen Yu.
"Cough cough~" Chen Yu seemed to have choked on Lin Lele and coughed twice.
Lin Lele immediately realized what was happening, and a warm smile instantly appeared on her face as she said to Chen Yu, "I'm sorry, sir, I was just too nervous. Now, I'll start right away."
