Chapter 273 Missing Person Notice
As soon as the medic finished speaking, both the survivors working on the roof and the soldiers who were building the wall in the distance jumped down from their heights and gathered around in groups of three or five.
There was a doctor sitting behind each of the six tables in the simple medical center. They put on gloves and masks and started to see patients.
There was a long line in front of each doctor.
The old customers in the safe zone looked at it with envy and gratitude in their eyes.
Although he had no injuries himself, seeing his compatriots’ festering wounds finally being treated, he suddenly felt a warm current flowing through his limbs.
One is medical care and support, the other is food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Woo.
They secretly glanced at Boss Xia who was standing at the door.
Boss Xia, we are still on your side.
Xia Yan looked at each other blankly.
..
"Boss Xia."
Suddenly, someone called her from behind, "The writing is done."
It turned out to be Lin.
She still looked a little hesitant, afraid that her proposal would fall on deaf ears and that she would get bad news.
There was no trace of his usual aloof look.
"Then give it to me," Xia Yan walked over, "There's no guarantee that I'll get the news."
She didn't even mention a deadline.
Lin knew that the chances of finding it were slim, so she took a deep breath and handed over the folded paper.
The starting point was a little too hard, so after gaining consent through eye contact, Xia Yan opened it.
There was only a one-inch photo at the crease.
The edges are frayed and fuzzy.
The photo shows a young mother and daughter hugging each other and laughing as they look at the camera. Each of them has a dimple on their cheek.
The mother and daughter have the same expression in their eyes and eyebrows.
Looking at his young daughter, Xia Yan always felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
If you think about it carefully, it's like trying to grab the moon in the water, it will break if you touch it.
She thought that maybe she had come into contact with someone who looked similar in some mission world.
Beneath the photo were densely packed, underlined small characters. At the end of the paper, only the last line, written with a thick, trembling hand, remained:
Daughter, no matter what, I will always love you.
In late autumn, the tips of the leaves gradually turn yellow, and even the air becomes a bit desolate.
After thinking it over, Xia Yan pointed at the photo and said, "This must be very precious. Take it back and add your daughter's name on it."
Since there is no guarantee of finding the person, there is no point in posting the photo. It is better to keep it by your side as a memory.
Lin's emotions were much more stable, so she added the three words "Lin Jingzhu" at the end.
Xia Yan muttered to himself, being quite sure that he had never seen this person before.
"Then I'll take care of it." Lin bowed and dragged her feet away.
Xia Yan gave the paper to the system to make ten copies, and marked the four big words "Missing Person Notice" in bold red font at the top.
After returning to her room and putting on warm clothes, she walked straight into the branch and posted herself in the most conspicuous place behind the front desk.
It was snowing heavily outside, and the biting cold wind carried crystal-like ice flakes that hit the glass, making crisp tinkling sounds.
The branch was unusually quiet, and Xiaowan and several employees sat by the window, admiring the snow scene.
The weather at the base is getting worse.
Even the customers were reluctant to leave their barely warm beds and headed to the restaurant covered in snow.
Even Xia Yan had to shout one, two, three before going out.
Drive to the base's office building, there is a bulletin board in the lobby on the first floor, which is used to distribute various information.
Snap, clack, clack, three conspicuous missing person notices were posted at the top.
There was a heating stove in the middle of the hall, and all the staff sat in a circle to keep warm.
When they saw someone coming, they were too lazy to get up and just waited for the person to call them. Unexpectedly, the person was posting something on the bulletin board.
Is that a place where you can just post stuff for free?
One of the staff was forced to stand up and angrily leave the warm stove.
"Hey! What are you—"
He was about to yell, but when he saw it was Boss Xia, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and said with a smile:
"How did Boss Xia find time to come? It's so windy outside, and this... is a missing person notice.
Tsk, don’t mention it. We accepted so many survivors some time ago. Maybe there is the person you are looking for.
Do you have any extra ones? Give me two and I’ll help ask around later.”
Xia Yan took out a card and gave it to him, saying politely, "Thank you for your help."
"It's no trouble, it's just a small favor. I hope Mr. Xia will take good care of me in the future. My last name is Zhang..."
"Okay, you guys are busy, I'll be leaving first."
The staff member suddenly stopped chattering and walked her to the door without changing his expression.
The heavy door curtain was lifted, and a bone-chilling cold wind blew in, swirling around the spacious hall, cooling down the only bit of warmth.
The staff standing by the stove hunched their necks, hugged their hot water bottles, and moved their stools closer.
The main store and here are two completely different worlds, and the lives of the residents are completely different.
Perhaps Chu Wanfu was worried that the local forces there had not been dealt with, and bringing more residents there might result in unnecessary casualties.
Moreover, the base has not been built yet, so the safety factor is extremely low.
Compared to life and death, being a little cold is nothing.
Xia Yan estimated that it wouldn't be long before all the residents here would be relocated, the area around the hotel would become prosperous again, and the store's sales would reach new highs.
But how to connect the survivors and Lidai Island?
Just going on vacation is a waste of resources.
While thinking, Xia Yan posted the last few missing person notices on each doorway one by one.
She walked out of the back door of the branch wrapped in cold clothes. The snowflakes on her shoulders had already turned into water droplets in the warmth, oozing out small brown dots.
The heat in the courtyard hit my face. Within a few seconds, a thin layer of sweat appeared on my forehead and my nose started to itch.
A-choo.
It's easy to catch a cold with the alternating cold and heat.
Xia Yan muttered as he took off his thick down jacket and went back to his room to change into a thin suit.
When I returned to the warm environment, I suddenly felt sore all over and didn’t want to move at all.
She took a popsicle out of the refrigerator and fell on the sofa with her legs crossed.
ah.
I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time.
Performance or something, it doesn’t matter.
Want to give up.
【The rent for three customers **, ***, and *** has expired】
【The lease has not been renewed, please ask the boss to handle it】
Xia Yan paused while eating his popsicle and said, "Kick him out."
Really, he bothers her even for the smallest things.
System and system life are also a process of continuous learning and growth, so don't take it lightly at any time.
【...receive】
At the same time, the new customers, with the door locked, sat between the beds with terrified faces, staring at the door without blinking.
what to do?
They have no points left on their cards.
It’s all the fault of those who took the lead.
It is said that points must be spent quickly. If you don’t spend them, you will be sorry to heaven, sorry to the earth, and sorry to the folks who provided the crystal cores.
regret!
Snap——
Bang!
After being pushed down by the two of them, the right half of his face was so red that he couldn't face anyone.
How could he be so stupid? He spent all his points while other people still had several zeros in their cards!
Isn't this a complete trick for these fellow villagers?
