Chapter 28 Two pieces of news
A family of three had just arrived at the building and were kicked out before they could even sit down.
Before being driven away, Xia Xiaoman asked the four innocent people to take one thing each from the pile of supplies of the family of three, considering that they knew the current situation.
Isn't she stingy? Then she should be more generous and give away the couple's supplies.
She looked down on that piece of junk, but others did.
The innocent foursome didn't expect to have such a good thing during their trip. They spent a long time choosing among the couple's supplies and took away all the food they had hidden.
The couple was angry but dared not say anything. They paddled away from the building in shame, probably never to come back again.
After returning to the 15th floor, we distributed the supplies and went back to our rooms to rest. At 2pm, we went to Wen Jianfeng's house to learn flying knives. At 4pm, we went to Ye Xiaojie to learn Sanda. At around 7pm, we went home to prepare dinner.
This schedule continued for three consecutive days.
More and more people were moving into the building, and three people in the team were injured. Xia Xiaoman and his companions did not dare to run too far to search for supplies, and only wandered around the community.
After finding food, I looked for building materials and got a batch of wire mesh. I cut them and fixed them on the balcony and windows to prevent people from running in from these places.
Wen Jianfeng found an electric welding machine and tinkered with it these past two days when he had nothing to do. If it was repaired, he could weld the iron door that was moved back in front of the fire door, which would be equivalent to adding another line of defense for their 15th floor.
In three days, the water level dropped to the second and a half floors.
At this height, people who are good at swimming can swim to the bottom of the water and salvage supplies from the first floor even without diving equipment.
In the past few days, people in the building have frequently gone out to look for supplies. Some have returned with full loads, some have returned with injuries, and some have never returned since they went out.
The water level receded by more than half and rescue work was finally able to resume.
Standing on the balcony, you can occasionally see rescue workers driving speedboats and shouting with loudspeakers.
The people who had been trapped for a long time gathered around the windows, waving and shouting outside, some asking for help, some expressing their gratitude, and some complaining about why the search and rescue workers had not arrived yet.
The people in the building also shouted loudly to attract rescue workers.
The search and rescue workers did not carry any supplies.
The flood, which occurs only once in a thousand years, completely submerged the city. Many supplies were still buried underwater, and there was no way to allocate so much relief supplies to distribute to the people.
When the search and rescue workers came to the building, they only brought a thin wooden board with two messages written on it in water-based pen.
The boards were nailed to the third floor and could be seen by survivors entering and leaving the building.
According to a piece of news, several rescue and trading points have been set up in the floating city.
Homeless people can go to the relief center on their own, and on-site staff will arrange for them to stay based on actual conditions.
Vulnerable groups such as the injured and the sick can also go to the relief point. If they are unable to go there on their own, they can intercept search and rescue personnel on the road and have them escort them to the relief point.
The rescue point has a medical station that can provide free treatment to injured and sick patients.
The trading points have also been improved, and the value of each item has been calculated. Each trading point is set up within 100 meters of the rescue point and is patrolled by dedicated personnel, so there is no need to worry about being robbed.
In other news, all veterans should report to the nearest relief point with their families to participate in the Fucheng disaster relief operation, and their families will be settled in Fucheng.
As soon as the notice was issued, various water vehicles appeared on the streets, all of which were people heading to rescue points or trading points.
Several households in the building also left with large and small bags, apparently wanting to go to a relief center.
I have saved a lot of supplies these days, so I don't have to worry about food and drink for ten days or half a month. But we are all born in a civilized society and are used to drinking milk tea and eating Western food in a clean environment.
After nearly a month of wandering and chaos, they can't wait to return to their previous lives.
In their concept, if they follow the country and the party, a civilized society is just around the corner.
Therefore, even though they can still live in the building now, they still have to make an effort to go to the rescue center, keep an eye on the developments in the floating city, and become the first group of people to return to civilized society as soon as possible.
Wen Jianfeng stared at the second message on the wooden board in a daze.
Xia Xiaoman asked: "Coach, are you a veteran?"
"No. My parents asked me to join the army, but I chose to do boxing and missed the chance." Wen Jianfeng's words were filled with infinite regret.
If he had been a soldier, he could have taken Axu and Lingling to a shelter now. It is better to leave the children to the protection of the country than to leave them to anyone else.
"My mother is a veteran." Su Ran suddenly spoke.
"So are you going to the rescue center now?" Xiao Zheyu added, "Are you willing to leave me alone?"
Su Ran rolled her eyes at him and said, "You lost my ID card. Even if I go to a shelter, I can't prove that I am my mother's son."
Xiao Zheyu touched his nose awkwardly, "I didn't mean it."
Su Ran curled his lips in silence. If it was intentional, he would definitely beat Xiao Zheyu up.
Back on the 15th floor, a group of people gathered at Zhou Qiuyang's house and told him the two messages sent by Fu Cheng.
"Do you want to go to the rescue center?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Xiao Zheyu hesitated, "There should be a lot of people who want to go to the relief center. The living environment there is probably a bit poor."
Sun Qing said: "But there is a medical station there. If we get sick or injured, we can go to the medical station immediately."
This injury made her realize the importance of medical treatment. Zhou Qiuyang almost died from the wound infection.
Ye Xiaojie analyzed rationally, "There are many people at the rescue site, and if we go there with so many supplies, we will definitely be targeted."
"But at the rescue point, we can get the latest updates on Fucheng's movements. If anything happens, Fucheng will immediately evacuate people from the rescue point. We live in a remote area right now, so we'll be one step behind others in getting any news."
Wen Jianfeng thought for a long time and said, "We can hand over some of the supplies for free and let the staff at the relief point arrange a location for us that is less crowded and safer."
The staff also have families, and it is normal for them to accept bribes to some extent in order to make their families live a better life.
Zhou Qiuyang agreed to go to the rescue point. He was slashed this time and almost went to see Tai Nai. In order to save his life, he thought it was safest to stay with the medical station.
Su Ran didn't care. His parents went back to their hometown before the flood. It was a great distance away from Fucheng, and he didn't know how they were doing.
He doesn't have many relatives here, he's all alone, so he can go anywhere.
Xia Xiaoman didn't really want to go to the shelter. The more people there were, the more trouble there would be. There were all kinds of people in the shelter, and she didn't want to quarrel and fight with people every other day.
There was a disagreement, so Xia Xiaoman suggested, "Let's go to the relief center first to take a look at the environment. If the living conditions there are okay, we can move there."
Sun Qing nodded, "Then Xiaojie and I will go to the rescue center this afternoon."
