The place Shen Yanming chose was a bit far from the Hai City Guard Team, but very close to the temporary restaurant.
The reason Shen Yanming chose this place was that while he was out working during the day, Bi Qiaoan could come out for a stroll and chat with the guards in charge of the meals, so she wouldn't be too bored.
Moreover, they can lend a hand if there's anything you really need help with. Unlike that accommodation area, where once they leave during the day, there's probably no one left, and he wouldn't feel comfortable leaving Bi Qiaoan alone.
Also, this temporary restaurant was specially prepared for the guards. They usually eat at off-peak times and there's a queue, so there won't be any noise that might disturb their wives. In short, he thought it was a good place.
After Shen Yanming set up his tent and laid out the bedding inside, he let Bi Qiaoan go in to rest.
He went to the car and brought out the coal stove, along with a coal briquette box and a storage box. The storage box naturally contained pots, pans, various grains, and seasonings.
Then he settled the goose outside the tent and told it to keep an eye on Bi Qiaoan so no one would bully her before he went to greet the people at the temporary restaurant.
Because it was lunchtime, there were many guards passing by. Although they cast curious glances, none of them dared to approach and ask directly. Shen Yanming's arrival was exactly what they wanted.
He didn't mince words and laid out his situation completely, asking everyone to keep an eye on him when they visited. He didn't need any special treatment, just that they hoped they could lend a hand if anything happened to his wife.
For this, Shen Yanming also contributed two catties of dried fruit, so everyone present readily agreed.
Anyway, it was just a matter of glancing at him, and there was no real loss for them. Besides, they quite admired him for going to such lengths for his wife.
The staff at the temporary restaurant even offered to bring the couple lunch, but Shen Yanming politely declined.
If we say we won't use up the guard's resources, then we can't use them. Otherwise, if something happens later, we won't be able to explain ourselves.
However, he exchanged a burning coal briquette with the other party, put it in his own coal stove, and then placed a pot on top of it.
I originally wanted to cook some noodles, but looking at the fire, I figured it wouldn't be ready anytime soon. Reluctantly, I could only let my wife eat some bread and jerky for now.
Bi Qiaoan didn't mind, since these were all made with ingredients from her space, and were both delicious and nutritious.
Shen Yanming left after Bi Qiaoan finished eating. Before leaving, he kept reminding her, "If anything happens, just go to the restaurant to find someone. This water is also fetched from the water cart over there, just so you know. If you need it yourself, just smuggle it in from your spatial storage."
"Okay, I understand!" Bi Qiaoan nodded and lay down to go to sleep.
Shen Yanming stepped out of the tent, put two handfuls of mung beans into the pot, and then instructed the goose, "Don't let anyone touch that pot, understand?"
He wasn't afraid of anyone stealing the drink; he was afraid of someone doing something malicious and putting something they shouldn't have in it.
Perhaps I'm overthinking it, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.
When we arrived at the rest area, we found that everyone had already set up their tents and packed their things.
Li Gangtie and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties walked over from a distance. They were accompanied by two assistants carrying a bunch of things.
Upon approaching, Li Gangtie introduced, "This is Zhou Qi, the captain of the third squad of the Suzhou City Guard Team. In the coming days, he will be responsible for leading us to excavate the supplies buried under the city ruins."
Now, Captain Zhou, please tell us about the things we need to pay attention to.
Hello everyone, I am Zhou Qi.
I know you've all worked in offices before and haven't participated in rescue operations like this before, but that's okay. Everyone has a first time. I will do my best to lead everyone to complete the mission as soon as possible, and I hope you will cooperate actively.
Before you all came here, you probably already knew that Su City had been razed to the ground. That's right, this place really is a wasteland.
Our Suzhou City security team, along with other security teams that have come to our aid, have begun rescuing trapped residents from the city center in all four directions. Your job is to dig for supplies in the ruins where no one is trapped.
There's no other way; the whole country is suffering from the disaster, and we can't afford to lose any supplies. Of course, we won't let you work for nothing; a certain percentage of what you dig up will be given to you.
When you are on duty, please wear work clothes and gloves as much as possible; these will be provided by the security team.
The reason I'm making this point is that the sun is very strong outside, and wearing long sleeves and pants would definitely make you hot. But if you don't wear them, you're not only more likely to get cut by broken glass, but you're also more likely to get sunburned and have your skin peel. You can consider this yourselves.
Also, please turn off your smart bracelets while you're working. Those responsible for poaching talent often rely on the bracelets' signals, and turning them off is to avoid interfering with their work.
Of course, if you are buried by an aftershock while at work, and you are still conscious, please turn on your smart bracelet immediately. We will locate you based on the signal source.
"My God, this job could possibly be buried?" Everyone was shocked to hear this.
“Yes, people lose their lives in rescue operations every year. If anyone wants to quit, they can leave now. I'm giving you a chance. If you don't leave, then you have to stick it out.”
After Captain Zhou finished speaking, everyone whispered among themselves, but no one stepped forward.
"Is nobody here? If nobody's here, let's get ready to leave."
"I! I want to live!"
Once the first person raised their hand, a second would follow, and so on, until finally seven hands were raised.
Zhou Qi didn't make things difficult for them; he nodded and let them leave.
Then he had his assistant hand out clothes to everyone and said, "Change your clothes and get ready to leave. We'll meet here every morning at 6 a.m. From now on, when it ends depends on our progress."
After taking the clothes, Shen Yanming followed Yu Shui into their tent, changed his clothes, and came out. They all moved quickly and efficiently, without saying a word.
While waiting, they overheard others whispering, "Aren't they letting people eat their fill while they're working? I'm still hungry, how am I supposed to go dig for supplies?"
Zhou Qi had excellent hearing, and he said directly, "Of course we'll make sure you're well-fed! It's just that you arrived too late today, and the restaurant wasn't prepared yet. So, go work for two hours first, and come back for dinner when they're ready. Things will be back to normal tomorrow."
Hearing that it was time to eat, everyone's expressions improved considerably, but Zhou Qi frowned. "Hey you, how long do you take to change your clothes? Are you still not changed by the time everyone gets back?"
"Here I am!" Tong Xianbao ran out of the tent, pulling up his pants. He unzipped his pants and said, "I... I didn't have any experience this first time, but I'll get better next time."
