Chapter 98 Wei County
A few minutes later, Shu Fu boarded a military truck with a canopy. This was a military vehicle that was going to a nearby medical warehouse to look for supplies. The November tsunami caused Xizhou Province to start a rapid evacuation of the entire province. In addition to people, supplies had to be transferred as much as possible.
This medical warehouse is a private enterprise and was previously missed. It has been well hidden by its owner. Now, reporting this type of supply point is equivalent to directly handing over the supplies, but correspondingly, those who hand over the supplies will receive various subsidies after transferring to Xizhou Province, such as free housing rights for several years, or halving the purchase price. If the supply point has sufficient supplies, it is very likely that the purchase cost will be free of charge.
In other words, the person who handed over the supplies was using the supplies that he could not move or take away in exchange for a place to live in the future. The world is unstable now, and without the troops to guard and transport them, large quantities of supplies like these cannot be transported far and will be completely lost due to natural disasters and man-made calamities.
This medical warehouse was mostly filled with medical equipment, which filled up most of the rear compartment of the military truck. Shu Fu was sitting next to the pile of supplies at the moment. In addition to two fully armed soldiers, there were also several other westward migrants who were "picked up" by them along the way.
The other party did not think it was strange that Shu Fu, a young girl, appeared alone on the mountain road. In this day and age, any accident could happen. As long as she herself was not in danger, it would be fine.
The other party sent a female team member off the bus, checked her backpack, searched her body, and after confirming that there were no controlled weapons, they let her into the car directly.
After she got on the car, the female team member also climbed back into the car and pulled up the rain curtain at the rear of the car. On the way up the mountain, she didn't say a word the whole time, and her expression was always serious. From time to time, she would get close to the rain curtain to check the situation outside.
Seeing her, Shu Fu couldn't help but think of Liu Shuang, her bright smile when they first met, and her care for her. As expected, people are different from each other. Even if they have the same identity or occupation, they are completely different living individuals.
However, Shu Fu still asked about the parking spot of the other party's car. She originally wanted to ask the other party about the distance and direction between the First Clinic and the parking spot. The main reason was that she had not found this clinic on the electronic map before. She didn't know whether it was because Wei County was just a small county town, or because the First Clinic was too small and there was no mark on the map.
However, coincidentally, the destination of this military truck was the First Clinic.
Twenty minutes later, the truck drove into a flat canyon on the hillside. Shu Fu approached the rain curtain and looked outside. The surroundings were no longer the towering and depressing mountains, but suddenly became bright.
This is a huge valley surrounded by mountains. This small county town located on the border of Xiangzhou Province is built in the middle of the valley. There is a large open space in the center. Buildings built against the mountain can be seen around it. Going up layer by layer, you can see many houses built in the middle of the hillside.
However, there have been heavy rains and hailstorms here in recent months. The houses built on the slopes have been basically buried by the soil and rocks of the landslide. Huge barbed wire can be seen wrapped around the walls of the landslide, as if to prevent a secondary landslide.
Most of the buildings here are 3 to 6 stories high, and you can also see a few buildings that are more than ten stories high. In the central square area, you can also see a 12-story hotel, which should be the tallest building in the entire Wei County.
Here, the people worked together to carefully develop a modern small county among the barren mountains. It is really not big. It feels like you can see the other end at a glance when you stand at one end of the main road.
The military truck drove through the square and main road of Wei County, then turned into a street and finally drove into a building.
After getting off the bus, Shu Fu realized why she couldn't find the First Clinic on the map before. It turned out that the First Clinic was converted from a school, which is Wei County No. 1 Middle School.
**
Under the natural disaster, various accidents occurred frequently. The continuous influx of people migrating westward made Wei County overcrowded and also challenged the medical limits here.
The first clinic was rebuilt at that time. People from Wei County provided the venue, the army found various medical supplies, and professional medical personnel were recruited from the public. In this small county town, they built a clinic comparable to a Class II hospital.
After the tsunami, the people here were evacuated in large numbers at double the speed. This clinic, which was once crowded with people, now has almost no patients. The wards that were renovated later are now used to accommodate the subsequent evacuated people, serving as a rest stop.
So when the female team member heard that Shu Fu was coming to the First Clinic, her expression didn't change. Newcomers here have to find a place to live before signing up for transfer.
Wei County is not big to begin with, and the landslide destroyed some houses. Many people are afraid to live in some houses that were not destroyed because they are too close to the hillside. Looking at the entire canyon, the only safe and large buildings are the ones around the center of the square and the circle of buildings around the No. 1 Middle School where Shu Fu is now.
There are several buildings here, the middle one is the largest, and the outpatient clinic is also set up here. Today is the second day since she received the task, and the deadline is five days, so conservatively speaking, she still has to stay here for four days, at least three nights.
So after Shu Fu walked into the outpatient building, she was the first to register, and then was assigned a bed - no, it was a bed. The other party told her that because of the tsunami in November, the evacuation of the entire Xiangzhou Province had changed from a spontaneous initiative of the people to an official requirement. Therefore, as long as there were rescue points set up by the government during the entire evacuation route, she could stay for free and receive a set of supplies.
Only one copy of the supplies will be distributed to each rescue point and must be collected in person. Those who have collected supplies before cannot collect them a second time.
In addition, people with more than three bad records will only be arranged with accommodation and will not be able to receive free supplies.
Simply put, accommodation and water are provided. As long as the people follow the rules and do not cause trouble, the authorities will ensure that you will survive the evacuation. Those who like to cause trouble will solve their own food and drink problems, but they will also be arranged with accommodation - which is equivalent to disguised surveillance.
Of course, there is a way to lift the ban on this type of people, which is to serve as a volunteer. Depending on the severity of their bad record, they can serve as a volunteer at a rescue site for different lengths of time, and then they can be lifted from the ban and receive free supplies.
Shu Fu quickly received the supply package, which was somewhat similar to the airdrop supply package she had seen in the water a long time ago. The backpack was made of waterproof cloth, and inside it were simple but large quantities of energy instant food, purified water, water purification tablets, basic disinfectant drugs, thermal blankets, rain gear, etc.
The supplies inside are a simplified version of the airdrop package, with food and water accounting for a larger proportion. After all, the evacuees only need to follow the official route. Rescue points will be set up at regular intervals along the way, and they can pick up the supplies at the next rescue point.
In addition to the supply package, the other party also gave her a manual with some map information, marking the official evacuation route and the location of each rescue point and emergency rescue phone number. They also repeatedly reminded her that if she wanted to arrive in Xizhou Province safely, she had to strictly follow the evacuation route.
Because the area around Xiangzhou Province and Xizhou Province is basically mountainous with complicated road conditions, even if you don't want to follow the large force and have your own small team, you can take this route and also go to each rescue point to collect supplies.
When Shu Fu carried the bag of supplies to the room where the bed was arranged, she felt warm in her heart. She deeply felt how important it was for the country to be strong and reliable. If she was really just a lone refugee who wanted to move west at this moment, even if she was really desperate and wanted to steal or rob in order to survive, she would give up this idea at this moment.
Apart from those pure villains who are born with a love of violence and blood, many people do certain things in troubled times just to keep themselves and their families alive. As long as these people find that the situation is not that bad and the country has not given up, it will only take a thought for them to get back on the right track.
Combined with the previous evacuation situation on Chen Fa's side, these policies should be new adjustments made by the authorities after the November tsunami.
Sure enough, the areas where there are troops stationed are different. In today's difficult situation, it is possible to provide all of this to every citizen fairly and free of charge. I am afraid that on this planet, only Huaguo can do it.
That night, Shu Fu slept in a ward converted from a classroom. He tossed and turned the whole time and couldn't sleep. It wasn't because he was worried about being unsafe, as there were soldiers patrolling the place 24 hours a day, so the safety factor was still very high. It wasn't because he was familiar with his bed, but because he was thinking about the mission.
Generally speaking, missions only appear based on natural disasters or man-made calamities. To be honest, these rescue points were established with great difficulty by the authorities. She really didn't want anything to happen here, but the arrival of disasters was never something she could control.
Before all this happened, she also knew nothing about the future. Sometimes she thought that perhaps it was because of this ignorance that she was able to use her instinct and intuition to perfectly act as a screw that drove the fate of certain people every time a task came.
**
The first night passed safely. Wei County has Internet, and except for the slow speed and lag, there are no other problems. There are also places to charge, but you have to pay for it yourself, 100 yuan per time, and it can only be charged for 30 minutes. But in the current situation, this price is normal for everyone. After all, there is electricity here, which is really very good.
When she couldn't sleep, she would cover herself with the quilt and secretly surf the Internet, but every time she saw the WeChat icon, she would feel a little heavy in her heart.
She was woken up by the cold the next day. Even though she was wearing all her clothes, with a thermal blanket inside and the quilt on the outside, she was still so cold that her teeth were chattering.
She remembered that there was heating in the clinic, which was built after the rescue point was established. Although the temperature was not high enough, it was not as cold and damp as it was now, making the air around her feel bone-chilling.
I got up trembling and asked around, and found out that the heating was indeed cut off. I heard that this is normal and you'll get used to it.
Shu Fu: ...
She was not used to it. She had always lived in a comfortable little house with a constant temperature and oxygen level of about 25 degrees. This cold and humid environment, even though the thermometer in the corridor showed the indoor temperature was 2 degrees, made her feel like she was in an ice cellar.
So Shu Fu went to the bathroom, hid in the cubicle, endured the cold, changed the base underwear into thermal underwear that absorbs and wicks sweat, then changed the ordinary fleece jacket in the middle layer into thick fleece jacket, changed the interlayered jacket into an interlayered jacket with down, and changed the waterproof boots into waterproof and warm boots with thick fleece.
On the surface, it looks exactly the same as the original one, but the warmth level has been raised to a higher level, so it can be worn as warm clothing for weather of minus 20 degrees Celsius.
Finally, I put a heating pad in each boot and one on my back. As expected, I felt warm all of a sudden. I wasn’t cold anymore, and even felt a little hot…
That day, she walked around several buildings of the First Clinic. Except for the smallest one, all the other buildings were open.
The smallest building is still used for medical treatment. I heard that there are still many patients who have not been transferred yet. Some of them are in a coma and no one has claimed them. The evacuation time of these people has been arranged later. One reason is that they need special vehicles to be transferred, and the other is to wait temporarily. Some people are separated from their family and friends, and the other party may be looking for them, so they can only move after confirmation.
Although these people are unconscious, as long as they have their ID information with them, they can be registered on the network and can be found at all rescue points.
The second day - actually the third day of the mission - also passed safely.
On the fourth day of the mission, she woke up early again, went to the bathroom at the end of the corridor, washed her face, and rinsed her mouth with mouthwash. This was one of the supplies she prepared in her backpack this time. The mouthwash was a small concentrated bottle. She only needed to take a small sip at a time, spit it out directly after rinsing her mouth, and then rinse her mouth with clean water.
This is my experience after staying in the shelter last time. Using toothpaste and toothbrush is too much of a fuss, but not brushing your teeth is always a bit uncomfortable, so the role of mouthwash is revealed. It is quick and hidden, and can freshen your breath in a few seconds...
Shu Fu simply ate a piece of compressed biscuit and drank some clean water as breakfast.
The compressed biscuits were cheese flavored, which was rare and delicious, and filling. She thought she would have to hang out all day, but when she walked down the stairs to the first-floor lecture hall where the outpatient clinic was set up, she heard a familiar voice urging the rescuers to check the computer information at the information desk of the rescue point.
"...Yes! The last name is Hua, the Hua from Huashan! The Qiong next to the character Wang! Well, forty-eight years old! And there is another one named Yao, female Zhao Yao! Do you know?" Her hair was disheveled, and she had a gauze bandage wrapped around her head. A dark bloodstain could be seen on her forehead.
Her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and she looked flustered and helpless. She was still wearing a patient's clothes, with a military coat hastily thrown on the outside. It was the clinic's uniform cold-resistant coat.
She seemed to have run over from the small medical building. There was a corridor connecting that building and this building. Rainproof curtains were installed on both sides so she would not be directly exposed to the rain, but there was water on the ground.
Shu Fu noticed the other person's feet. She was wearing a pair of patient slippers, which were now completely soaked. She stood there barefoot in the wet slippers, shivering all over. Shu Fu felt cold just by looking at her.
"Yes! His name is Yao Guofan! Yes! Great! Is the information confirmed? Where is the information registered? Oh, there is also a person with the last name Xun, Xun as in Upper Xun or Lower Xun, Xun Huiming. Do you have any information about him?"
She was a little impatient and almost wanted to push the rescuers aside to check it herself. "No? Where did Yao Guofan and Hua Qiong register their information... Zhicheng? So far?... What, can we go now?... No! Everything disappeared after I woke up! My ID card and cell phone are gone!... Well, I'm not in a hurry, really? Can we arrange to transfer them there directly?... Okay, then help me check the situation of the car, the sooner the better!"
She began to wait anxiously again, and this time the waiting time was longer. During this time, she asked the other party some very simple basic questions, such as she had no ID card and no mobile phone, what should she do if she wanted to contact the other party, and she didn’t know how many days she had been in the hospital, how would she pay for it as she had no money. In addition, she had nothing now, and if she wanted to transfer to Zhicheng, how should she meet some basic daily needs?
The other party was multitasking, checking the computer while quickly answering these simple questions.
When she wanted to continue asking, Shu Fu walked over and called out her name: "Yao Ruoyun?"
The other party was startled at first, then turned around. When she saw the person who called her name, she immediately showed an expression of surprise, joy and disbelief: "Shu Fu!? Oh my god! Senior sister, why are you here? You are fine again! Hahaha, that's great, I told Lu Zheng that you will be fine this time!"
The other person's expression suddenly became cheerful, and he rushed over to hug her. Shu Fu was prepared and caught her steadily: "Well, long time no see."
The other person's temperament has not changed, but he looks a lot thinner, and even his originally round face is almost turning into a melon-shaped face. His strength has also decreased, and he is being held steadily by Shu Fu, who exercises every day.
Yao Ruoyun just woke up today. First, she received the huge shock of being in a coma for several days and separated from her family. Then she heard the good news that her family was still alive and in a safe city. Finally, she met an old friend who she had lost contact with for a long time. Her emotions changed again and again.
At this moment, she was talking to Shu Fu in a drunken tone, and her words were very incoherent. She didn't even hear the rescue worker who was checking the computer behind her calling her twice to say that there was a parking space to Gongmang County tomorrow afternoon.
Gongmang County is one of the transfer points for Wei County to Zhicheng. There is also a rescue point where the troops are stationed. Generally, vehicles evacuating from Xiangzhou Province to Xizhou Province cannot go directly there because the mountain roads are difficult to travel, natural disasters will cause various uncontrollable accidents, and many road conditions will also change.
Therefore, many such rescue points will be set up along the way to facilitate rest and reorganization. These small county villages are located near national highways, provincial highways, and mountain roads, and a small group of fully armed troops will be stationed there.
There will be a car going to Gongmang County tomorrow afternoon, mainly to transfer a batch of medical supplies found previously. With one more car traveling together, the road will be safer.
It was obvious that Yao Ruoyun would not finish what she had just said. Seeing that she was extremely cold, Shu Fu pulled her to a sealed place at the back of the classroom, asked her to sit on a chair and take off her wet slippers. He then took out a portable thermos cup from his backpack, opened it, and asked her to drink from it. There was hot water in it. He then took out a thermal blanket and asked her to wrap her feet in it.
Yao Ruoyun drank hot water and wrapped herself in a thermal blanket. She felt her body temperature rising and looked at her with tears in her eyes. In fact, when she saw Shu Fu for the first time, although she was very surprised to see her here, she also felt uneasy.
After all, she and Shu Fu hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and looking back on that time they met in the library, it wasn't that long. She had a natural filter when looking at him, probably because in her heart he was her mother's savior, so she had an unconditional trust and intimacy with Shu Fu.
But she didn't know what Shu Fu thought of her, especially after not seeing her for such a long time and losing touch with her. She was afraid that he would find her annoying and think that she was too enthusiastic and proactive...
Until she gently asked her to take off her slippers, took out the thermal blanket and wrapped her up, her uneasy heart seemed to be wrapped in something warm.
Shu Fu is still Shu Fu, and he has not become estranged from her because they haven't seen each other for a long time.
Yao Ruoyun seemed to have met her relatives and began to complain bitterly. Shu Fu roughly pieced together the other family's experience from her words.
Their family moved at the beginning of this year, at the beginning of the relocation period. After leaving Pincheng, they took the Youcheng route. At that time, the city was still good, and the journey was not as bumpy as when Shu Fu and his family left later.
But there were so many people being evacuated that it was very chaotic. Everyone was moving from one town to another. When they arrived in Xiangzhou Province, news came that a devastating tsunami had occurred.
That was the first time the planet had experienced a tsunami hundreds of meters high.
For all the Hua people at that time, the super tsunami that destroyed two provinces was a fatal blow that crushed their hopes.
