Chapter 359 Advance
Today is different from usual.
First, one-third of the soldiers were left in the base, and then Chu Wanfu did not set out with them.
"Boss Xia," a soldier ran into the hall, "General Chu asked me to come to you. He said the fourth wave of survivors had been relocated early. Could you please open the portal?"
Xia Yan stood up and asked, "Or should we transfer the payment?"
"right."
After receiving the reply, Xia Yan walked into the safe zone, stepped into the portal, and turned off the blockade setting.
The soldier waiting outside thanked him and went in.
Soon, survivors wearing thick cotton clothes of similar colors and styles walked through the portal one after another.
The white snow that fell on the head melted into water droplets in a few breaths and dripped down the hair.
Xia Yan felt the cold air coming towards him and couldn't help shivering.
The soldiers standing by began to work.
"Line up in order and wait for your assignment. No noise! Strictly no disturbance!"
Xia Yan felt that these words were meant for her.
This group of survivors, whose upper and lower teeth were chattering from the cold and whose backs were hunched, could barely lift their heads to look around. Their frozen throats made it impossible for them to even utter a sigh. How could they possibly cause trouble?
But to be honest, she did feel better after hearing it.
At this time, two staff members wearing logistics armbands came over, each holding a large kettle in their left and right hands.
"Do you all have water cups? Free ginger soup!"
After a few shouts, the survivors took off the large packages on their backs and unzipped them.
Xia Yan saw tiny ice crystals flying in the air with the movement. In the middle of several pieces of clothing, there was a glass cup engraved with the words "First Branch of Resort Hotel".
Seeing that everyone had a cup, the staff unscrewed the lid and poured water for everyone.
The temperature in the safe zone is just right, and the staff prepares water at a temperature that is just drinkable. The temperature is not visible at first, but when pairs of frozen red fingers cling tightly to the wall of the cup to keep warm, it suddenly feels like the water is very hot.
The staff member asked in confusion: "Didn't we agree on a time? Why are you so cold?"
The person in charge drank some hot water, and the warm temperature slid down his esophagus into his stomach, as if driving away the coldness in his body, and he shivered comfortably.
"They were so afraid of something going wrong that when they heard the transfer was brought forward, they didn't even get any sleep. If it hadn't snowed heavily all night, they would have rolled up their bedding and waited outside!"
"Well, there's nothing to be afraid of since everything is recorded."
"After all, opportunities are rare."
After drinking the water, the survivors finally felt warm and took out thin clothes that were still cool to the touch from their packages.
I touched the floor and found that it was hot, so I spread out my clothes on the ground to cool down and changed my cotton clothes after a while.
The temperature here is high, and you'll get heat stroke if you wear a thick cotton jacket.
Another staff member came with a red square box for them to draw lots.
"This is the house number where you will live from now on. There's no shady dealings involved. Whichever house you draw is yours. No swapping or changing it is allowed, not even in private!"
There was another person next to him, holding a notebook where family information had been registered, recording the number drawn in the corresponding position, and distributing keys.
Someone asked: "What if there is no room for my family of five?"
The staff member picked up another blue box and said, "Then draw here."
After arranging the accommodation, the person in charge briefly explained the rules and the three meetings, and added one important sentence:
"Private teams are allowed in the base, but they must be registered and the maximum number of people in a team is 25.
Each team must make a detailed report on the identities, abilities, and other information of its members. In addition, the criteria for its establishment are: at least eight people with abilities above level three, at least five people with low-level abilities, and at least three people without abilities.
Those who meet the above requirements can register at the Special Ability Team Registration Office in the service area."
In fact, there are more detailed requirements and conditions, which are announced at the registration office, so the staff don’t waste their time explaining them.
Since this rule came out, all the low-level psychics and ordinary people who were previously ignored in the base have received invitations—
It is not feasible to register without following the regulations. The behavior of more than three people with special abilities going out to search for supplies will be automatically regarded as a black team, and the supplies they obtain will be directly confiscated.
If it weren't for what Chu Wanfu and Lin said inadvertently, he might not have discovered in time the difficulties of ordinary people's lives in the base.
In order to guarantee the rights of ordinary people and low-level psychics to survive, this regulation was introduced after a rough finalization.
Various loopholes may be discovered later, but no regulation can be completely avoided and will be gradually improved.
In order to avoid unfairness in the harvesting and distribution system, it is stipulated that the resource allocation to the disadvantaged groups in the team must not be less than 35% of the amount of each harvest.
In any case, people at the bottom of society can finally have an easier time.
After everyone in the safe zone had left, Xia Yan drove the mopping car and slowly cleaned up the mud marks - which were left from the soles of his shoes.
It was at this time that she saw Chu Wanfu leading a few people to operate something in front of the office area.
I saw a soldier with a red face, using all his supernatural powers, and a dot appeared one meter in front of his palm. It grew bigger and bigger, gradually forming the shape of a door, and became more and more colorful.
The soldier pushed open the door.
Xia Yan was surprised to see that there was a wooden door at the back that was of a completely mismatched size.
The soldier was very calm and walked forward and knocked.
I saw the wooden door opened from the opposite side, and a group of neatly dressed people stood behind the door.
Chu Wanfu stepped forward and saluted first.
The other party returned the greeting and asked, "Are you ready?"
Chu Wanfu: "Yeah."
The other party: "That person is in your hands. You must protect their personal safety!"
Chu Wanfu: "Received."
After a brief conversation, everyone except the person who spoke crossed the portal one after another, stood in the unfamiliar land, and looked at everything in front of them curiously.
When they saw the magnificent holiday hotel with more than 30 floors in front of them, they showed puzzled surprise on their faces.
The edges of the two doors gradually faded inward.
The two of them had nothing much to say, so they saluted each other and that was it.
When the portal was about to disappear, Xia Yan looked inside. Against the wide background, he saw a clean and tidy street block, followed by tall buildings with brand-new appearances. Pedestrians holding briefcases walked hurriedly past and entered a building with the words "Civic Center" written on it.
From this was just the tip of the iceberg, she could already guess that this was the Shangjing base.
Looking at the few new people who had arrived, each of them had rosy cheeks, held their heads high and looked straight ahead. They were only a little surprised to see the dried fruits and vegetables drying in front of every household, but that surprise was thrown out of their minds when they saw Xia Yan driving a scooter.
"That's—?"
Chu Wanfu looked in the direction he was looking, "Yes, it's Boss Xia."
