Chapter 443 Preparations before departure
During the half hour of waiting in the conference room, two groups of people entered the conference room one after another. Together with the gang of hooligans who came earlier, there were a total of three groups of people.
These three groups of people were the teams that Yu Jie had brought in to explore the terrain. The leader of the ruffian group was called Wang Canxiong. The second group of people who came in was three men and one woman, led by a scarred man named Zhang Guang. The third group of people who came in was five men, led by a gentleman with glasses named Luo Hongwei.
Just as Xia Xiaoman was wondering what means of transportation these people took to leave the underground city, Yu Jie and Lu Lanshan walked in.
Lu Lanshan said: "You all know each other, right? Then I won't go into any more introductions and will get straight to the point." As he spoke, he turned on the computer and displayed the situation outside.
"According to the original plan, you will go out to explore the terrain in eight days. Wang Canxiong, you will be responsible for exploring the water and underwater conditions near the underground city."
"I'll send you a map of the surrounding terrain later. Check every inch of the area to see if there are any places that are different from before. Pay special attention to whether there are any mutants around."
Wang Canxiong nodded and said, "No problem. Get the diving equipment and assault boats ready. We can set off at any time."
"The equipment has been prepared for you. Take your people and practice diving more in the next few days."
After Lu Lanshan finished speaking, he looked at the scarred man and said, "Zhang Guang, you are responsible for exploring the road to Yuancheng. The speedboat is ready, and the supplies on it are enough for you to eat for 2-3 days. Come back when the supplies are used up, there is no rush."
Zhang Guang nodded without saying anything. Lu Lanshan continued, "Luo Hongwei, you are responsible for exploring the road to Yancheng and negotiating with Yancheng. Two speedboats should be enough, right?"
Luo Hongwei nodded, "That's enough, there are only twelve of us."
Lu Lanshan hummed, turned his head and looked at Xia Xiaoman, "Your ship has been successfully inspected and accepted, and we will try to get out of the water in two days. I suggest that after the ship is sent out of the water, you stay on the ship for two days to adapt to it, and you can give us feedback in time if there is anything missing..."
"Wait!" Wang Canxiong interrupted Lu Lanshan before he could finish his words. "Zhang Guang and Luo Hongwei are going to other cities, so it's normal for them to be assigned speedboats. But this guy has two girls with him and looks like a second-generation rich kid. Why can he get a ship while I only have a speedboat?"
Wang Canxiong pointed at Xie Yi with an indignant look on his face. Xie Yi smiled and corrected him, "Sorry, you are wrong. The leader is not me, but her." He pointed at Xia Xiaoman.
Wang Canxiong was even more indignant. "What can a woman like her do? Are you crazy to let a woman lead the team?"
Xia Xiaoman looked at Wang Canxiong with a smile, "As a woman, I can't do much, but I have a ship and you don't. I have shells and you don't. I have a rifle and you still don't."
"Are you envious? Are you jealous? Look, you are a man, so what? Aren't you only envious of me, a woman?"
Wang Canxiong's face was twisted with jealousy, and he gritted his teeth, "I don't accept it! Why can she drive a ship? This is not fair!"
Yu Jie glanced at him coldly and said, "If you feel it's unfair, you can quit."
Hearing this, Wang Canxiong's throat seemed to be strangled and he became silent instantly.
The job of exploring the terrain was well paid and well treated. Without this job, he and his brothers would have nothing to do. Wang Canxiong was so angry because he was jealous that Yu Jie assigned better equipment and tools to others than to himself, which made him feel inferior and unbalanced.
Yu Jie ignored him and looked at the projected video and said, "The rain outside is much lighter than before, but the wind is still strong. Normally the wind outside can reach level 4-5, and in severe cases it can reach level 6-7 or even higher, so you must be fully prepared."
"I have already prepared the basic equipment for you. Please check to see what else is missing."
As soon as Yu Jie finished speaking, Lv Lanshan had already sent the list of materials and equipment to everyone's mobile phone. Materials were in short supply now, and there was not much paper to waste, so if it could be sent to them electronically, try to use electronic spreadsheets.
Xia Xiaoman took a look at the list and found that all the basic living supplies and ship equipment were complete. "You can also take a look to see if there is anything missing." She sent the list of supplies and equipment to Ye Xiaojie and the others.
After Ye Xiaojie finished reading the list, she asked, "No fishing nets?"
Lu Lanshan shook his head. "There are very few fish inland. Even if there are, they are probably dead in this environment. Your fishing nets are of little use."
Ye Xiaojie said: "Fishing nets have many uses. If there are fish, we can use them to fish. If we encounter mutants or other unknown creatures, we can use fishing nets to catch them. If we find supplies under the water, we can also use them to carry supplies. So I hope you can equip us with fishing nets."
Lu Lanshan glanced at Yu Jie, and when she nodded, he said, "Okay, are there any other supplies you want to add?"
"Can we add a water purification system? If there is no water, we can filter the water ourselves for drinking." Xie Yi said.
The place they were going to was far away, and they didn't know what accidents they might encounter on the way. If they were trapped outside and the water ran out, they would have to find a way to filter clean water themselves.
Zhang Guang, Wang Canxiong and others saw Xia Xiaoman and others put forward several requests one after another, and they also made requests to Yu Jie. As long as the request was reasonable, Yu Jie would basically meet it.
After replenishing the necessary supplies and equipment, Yu Jie took out four flares and signal transmitters. "Take these flares and transmitters. If you encounter danger, send out the flares and transmitters, and we will send people to rescue you."
Although there is no second ship in the underground city, there are assault boats and jet skis, so as long as the distance is not too far, we can find a way to rescue.
After sending out the flares and launchers, Yu Jie mentioned some precautions, reminded everyone to be careful, and then adjourned the meeting.
When walking out of the official headquarters, Wang Canxiong deliberately hit Xia Xiaoman with his shoulder. Xia Xiaoman dodged it quickly and then grabbed the other's arm and threw him over his shoulder.
"I gave you face, right? If you dare to do anything small again, I will destroy you now!" Xia Xiaoman looked down at Wang Canxiong.
Wang Canxiong's face was livid, and he lay on the ground, holding his arm that Xia Xiaoman had grabbed, grimacing. The fall didn't hurt, but Xia Xiaoman's grab on his arm almost broke his bones, and he couldn't lift his hand due to the pain.
Zhang Guang, who followed behind, glanced at Wang Canxiong and said in two words, "Idiot!"
Luo Hongwei helped him up with a smile, "Why did you start fighting? We are all doing official work. Harmony brings money, harmony brings money!" As he said that, he pulled Wang Canxiong aside and tried to persuade him in a gentle voice.
Xia Xiaoman glanced at them and left with Xie Yi and Ye Xiaojie.
