Chapter 172: Reunion
Inside the room, after the door was closed, Feng Lu, who had been silent for a long time, spoke first: "Is it you?"
At the same time, Shu Fu also asked, "Have you awakened your superpowers?"
The two people spoke at almost the same time, and both of them said something shocking, getting straight to the point.
Shu Fu already knew that the other party had guessed the connection between the two rafts, so when he heard Feng Lu suddenly ask this, he was not surprised, and his expression did not change.
Feng Lu, on the other hand, was suddenly asked about the most private matter, and his face changed slightly. There was vigilance in his eyes when he looked at her. Although he subconsciously wanted to deny it, when he looked at the other person's eyes and recalled the tone of her question, he quickly realized that the other person was actually certain.
He didn't know how she knew it, nor did he know why she was asking this question now, but at this moment he thought it would be better for him to remain silent.
Shu Fu understood his vigilance. For a person who had just awakened, it would be abnormal not to be vigilant when his deepest secret was pointed out. Feng Lu's situation was indeed special. His bond value reached 80, but compared to other people, both parties were very unfamiliar.
Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to break the ice.
"Don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions. I know you haven't told anyone else about this yet. Don't worry, I won't make decisions for you without your knowledge. That's why I'm telling you this alone now. If I really wanted to do something to you, I wouldn't have rushed to rescue you and your teammates a few days ago, and I wouldn't have let you board my raft even earlier in the spring."
For Shu Fu, she did good deeds without leaving her name in the past simply because it was unnecessary and it was safer that way. But now, since her ultimate goal was to tow Feng Lu's raft, she naturally did not hide what she had done before.
Sure enough, when she mentioned spring, the vigilance in his eyes gradually faded and was gradually replaced by another emotion.
Feng Lu looked at her, his eyes moving slightly, as if he was looking at a strange yet familiar person: "So during those few months, the people in that small house——"
"Yes, it was me. Your teammates came over to provoke you and took the water away. It was me who caused you to fall into the water repeatedly. Later, on the way back to Zhangcheng, the boat you were on had an accident, and I saved you... Actually, when I wrote "See you later", I really didn't think I would have the chance to see you again."
Shu Fu said, laughing and extending her hand to him, "Let's get to know each other again. Hello Feng Lu, I'm Shu Fu."
He looked at the smile on the other's lips, subconsciously wiped his palms on the hem of his clothes, then slowly reached out and held her hand.
Her hands were very soft, and her fingertips were warm. He unconsciously held them for a while longer, and when he noticed her surprised look, he slowly loosened his grip, and then began to speak with a sigh and some other emotions: "I'm sorry, I really didn't think that I would actually see you in my lifetime. Thank you very much for those months. When you saved me and my brothers for the first time, I said that the Fire Dragon Team owed you a favor. If you need it, you can come to me directly to redeem it. Not to mention that you gave us a ride so many times later, and pulled us back from the brink of death a few days ago... We should have repaid you for what we owe you. In short, just let me know if you have any arrangements for the future. Regardless of whether I can do it or not, I will do it at the risk of my life!"
Later, his voice was filled with a firm sense of righteousness. Not only for him, but for their entire team, and even for the survivors of the entire Northern Plateau, her raft was a special existence.
Although these people value their lives, at certain times, life is not that important. They can fight for their brothers and sisters, and they can also fight to repay the grace of saving their lives.
Shu Fu looked at him for a moment and found that he was serious. He laughed and said, "It's not to the point of risking your life. I just hope that after the rest of your team members and their families move into the shelter, you can control the people on both sides. No matter how you survived on the northern plateau, here with me, on the raft, in this shelter, all private fighting and conspiracy are prohibited.
Here, I can provide basic food, water, accommodation and safety, and you don't need to fight for them. In the future, there will be other ways to improve the quality of life - provided that you still live in this shelter by then. If you want to stay here, you must abide by the rules in the accommodation instructions. If you repeatedly violate the rules, you will definitely be expelled from the shelter..."
Shu Fu quickly explained her purpose. She and other friends had discussed the issue of towing Fenglu and upgrading the wristband, and they all felt that the current situation could be left aside. As long as the two teams from Fenglu stayed in the shelter, they would always be able to select suitable candidates to upgrade the wristband and enter the raft area after observation.
Although they currently have nothing and may not have enough points to exchange for supplies and stay in the hotel even if their wristbands are upgraded, entering the raft area means they can become raft employees.
In the initial stage, you can work during the day and still return to the shelter at night.
This model reminded Shu Fu of work dormitories in peacetime. After a certain period of time and after accumulating a certain number of raft points, one can leave the country and choose to continue living in the dormitory or spend points to stay in a hotel with better conditions.
In short, as long as they live in a shelter, everything is possible.
As for the matter of towing the raft, it would have to wait until Feng Lu had thought it through and was willing to tell his teammates and the Ice Dragon team members who would be living with them in the future.
When Shu Fu was about to leave that day, Feng Lu suddenly called her and looked at her with some confusion: "Have we...had a conversation like this before? No, it feels like what we had before was more like a negotiation..."
As soon as these words came out, Feng Lu was stunned. He was very perceptive and quickly realized that something was wrong.
They would never have met before today, so those fragmented scenes: the spacious conference room, the two sides unwilling to back down over something, the heated arguments going back and forth... those seemed like - memories of another world?
He pressed his solar plexus and looked at Shu Fu in shock: "You...we have really met before!"
"If you have any memories related to me, you should have seen it." She heard him mention negotiation. She was a screenwriter in her native world. Whether she was a small screenwriter in the early days or a big screenwriter later, the word "negotiation" that he could use to describe it should be some negotiations at work.
Shu Fu continued, "Similar memory fragments may continue to appear in the future. You can regard these memory fragments as a reward after awakening. They will allow your vision and cognition to transcend this world and see a wider world."
Shu Fu thought about it and decided to leave a walkie-talkie with the other party, telling him that if there were any memory fragments that he thought were important, or if there were any special circumstances among the team members, he could call her through the walkie-talkie.
Now the rescue has been completely completed, not only her raft island, but also the official ship is about to set off for home.
After that, unless there were special circumstances, she would not stay in Liu Shuang's attic control room for a long time during the day, so if any emergency occurred in the shelter behind, she might not be able to know about it in the first place.
It would be more convenient to give the other party a tool to contact her directly.
After all, he is one of our companions and should be treated with some preferential treatment.
A few days later, the Drifting Island House, towing a long string of rafts, followed the two huge ships. After crossing the deep water area, it circled along the northern shore of the Fengshang Plateau and finally arrived at the plateau basin waters they had visited before.
The huge ship that they saw being equipped with supplies the last time they came here should have been officially launched, loaded with people from Xizhou Province, and gone to other waters around the Fengshao Plateau to start their life on the water.
There are no other completed giant ships to be seen here. On the shore, the skeletons of new giant ships are under construction. The construction of each giant ship is a very long process.
Each of the giant ships, including the two that went to the Northland Plateau for rescue, has a different shape.
The two returning ships docked at another shore opposite the shipbuilding factory area. At this stage, all survivors on the ships are under surveillance.
The initial screening and classification has been completed, but it will still take some time to select the first batch of settlers, and then further arrange for them to go ashore and head to residential towns in Xizhou Province.
Liu Shuang originally planned to contact the trustworthy captain who was still in the team, but fortunately, Han Lan responded to the message the next day after they followed the giant ship to anchor in these waters.
**
After Shu Fu and Liu Shuang checked the stack of information handed in by Feng Lu and Ke Chen, they found that no one was excluded.
The two teams together, including the eleven people who were already in the shelter, totaled sixty-eight people, 41 from the Fire Dragon Team and 27 from the Ice Dragon Team. Of these, there were about twenty people who were family members and had no fighting ability at all and had never participated in a conflict.
Among these twenty people, half are from the Ice Dragon Team. In addition to the elderly and children, there are also adults, but they were previously relatives who were completely protected by family members.
On the Fire Dragon Team's side, because there has never been a backstabbing incident, the number of team members has remained relatively stable, and the ratio of team members to their families is normal.
In the Ice Dragon team, family members account for a larger proportion. The previous backstabbing incident caused many teammates to switch to other teams, which now seems to be a good thing.
Ke Chen is not as smart as Feng Lu, and the members of his team were of mixed quality in the past, so the previous events can be regarded as filtering the team for him in advance. The members who are still in the team are all following him wholeheartedly and are willing to endure hardships together to overcome difficulties.
Han Lan's news came at the right time. Liu Shuang passed on the list of information of the 57 people who were still on the official side and asked him to arrange the transfer depending on the situation.
Liu Shuang had told Shu Fu before that this was not a difficult matter. Although the placement and guarding on the giant ship were very tight, as long as the person himself was fine, he would enter the process of arranging accommodation after being selected and brought ashore, and everything would be easy from then on.
In the previous mission, Cheng Yu had acted together with Han Lan. Now that Han Lan had news, Cheng Yu was still out of touch. Shu Fu naturally went to ask Han Lan.
Han Lan quickly replied, saying that after the last mission, Cheng Yu took the lead in taking the team and people on the return helicopter, and he was responsible for the finishing work. He was supposed to return afterwards, but because there were some problems with the finishing work, he stayed temporarily, which was considered the second mission operation.
The mission was completely completed, and then he saw the message from Liu Shuang.
In other words, he and Cheng Yu are not in the same place at the moment, and the last time they contacted each other was before the second unexpected mission.
Han Lan: Don’t worry too much. He went back earlier than me and there has been no news of any new tasks since then. He must have been delayed by something internally. Let’s wait a little longer.
No one is more familiar with losing contact than Shu Fu. When she lost contact in the past, she would occasionally find a chance to send a message to her friends or Cheng Yu, but it was impossible for the other party to reply immediately.
Even satellite phones can have bad signals sometimes, not to mention that he may be on a mission at any time. Even if he is not on a mission and is within the official system, he may not be able to send messages freely.
After all, she and the raft she was on were still a secret to the authorities.
She was not the kind of person who would have all kinds of crazy thoughts when she couldn't contact the other party. The other party had been in the army for so many years and had rich experience in various combats. Through their previous operation, the remaining cancer in Xizhou Province should have been eliminated, so she guessed that he must have been delayed by some other things.
**
A few days later, Han Lan sent an address. Shu Fu set a new destination and drifted over with rafts of various sizes to meet him.
Fifty-seven people - including the two people who had entered the shelter before and returned to the ship to report their safety to their teammates, all were there.
The rain was a little lighter that day, but the sky was particularly gloomy. The shore where the shelter was docked was a concave opening below the cliff, and people on the shore could walk directly onto the deck of the shelter.
The protective shield of the shelter was closed. Shu Fu and Liu Shuang stood at the end of the raft where the refugees could not see them and waved to Han Lan who was next to the team.
Han Lan still had the dark brown wristband on his hand, so he could see the raft area that was invisible to others on the shore and in the shelter.
In the past few days, Shu Fu and Liu Shuang have been to the shelter at the back several times. After all, Liu Shuang is the real owner of the shelter. Once the check-in and upgrade of refugees become the norm and the executive officer is hired, Shu Fu can completely get rid of the affairs here.
So when she went to collect the team roster forms, she took Liu Shuang with her.
This time, the team members in the shelter still didn't understand where the other party appeared from, because in their field of vision, there was only a circular deck outside the shelter, and outside that was the vast waters.
They once thought that the owner of the raft was hiding in a door around the hall, but after they moved in, they found that every door here was a room, and the doors of the rooms all opened into the shelter, so where did the people who appeared on the deck outside the shelter come from every time?
Clearly, theirs was the only raft shelter in the entire stretch of water.
The unknown is awe-inspiring. Whether it is Shu Fu or Liu Shuang, the refugees in the shelter are very polite and respectful.
When the raft followed the giant ship to Xizhou Province, Feng Lu publicly confirmed to all the team members that Shu Fu was the owner of the small raft that provided free ferrying. He considered whether to keep it secret, but then thought of the significance of the raft to the survivors of the Northern Plateau, so he told them.
Since Shu Fu meant for him to keep the people from both teams under control, it would be better to let everyone know about this.
He was 100% sure that he could restrain the members of the Fire Dragon Team, but he was not completely sure about the Ice Dragon Team, unless the other party also knew that the current owner of this shelter had given selfless help to everyone in the Northern Plateau.
The survivors from the Northern Plateau already had a natural filter for the owner of the small raft. The combination of the two would make them trust each other more.
Later, when Shu Fu went to the shelter again one time, he immediately found that the eyes people looked at him were warmer and more friendly than before. They were not only grateful to his savior, but also respectful to his old friend.
The entire raft island slowly moved backwards. When the deck of the shelter raft was completely close to the shore, Feng Lu, who had already walked to the circular deck, used his wristband to swipe open the door of the deck fence.
This is the right that Liu Shuang gave to Feng Lu and Ke Chen. Although they did not need to open the door on their own initiative much along the way, the feeling of having this right and not having this right is completely different.
The former means that although they live in a shelter and are protected, they are still free, while the latter means they have completely lost their freedom.
When the team members on the shore and the team members on the raft met again, they naturally hugged and talked. The new team members were originally nervous, although teammates on both sides had reported to them that they were safe and had also privately described the various advanced facilities of the shelter raft and the clean, comfortable and safe environment.
But the survivors of the restricted area, who were used to the psychics always being high and mighty, didn’t really believe it in their hearts.
Until this moment, they all walked into the shelter and looked at the spacious, bright, clean and brand new hall, and were immediately amazed.
