Chapter 34 Damn, we actually envy them?
From then on, Mo Siming, Wei Jie and Fu Qianshen, who had complained about midsummer together, formed a deep friendship for some unknown reason, so much so that Xizi felt isolated when standing among them. However, these three people shamelessly said: "Children should not interfere in the affairs of adults."
Actor: ...Tsk tsk tsk.
After receiving the children sent by the Independence Army, some of them required the simultaneous intervention of the medical team, so Xizi skillfully directed the other children to help. They worked in groups in an orderly manner, like "little adults", and their appearance stunned many of the medical team members who received the order to come out of the cave to receive the wounded.
In their words, "We didn't expect the children to be so disciplined. Their initiative and organizational skills are even better than those of us professional medical staff."
Two doctors and five nurses told Mo Siming and the others with tears in their eyes:
"Honestly, it's comforting to see that these children are now receiving medical care instead of living on the streets."
"Yes, our planetary commander has indeed taken a very merciful step."
"We didn't have a choice in the past, but these children... I think they can finally see a different world in their future."
"Finally, a wise planetary commander has arrived on our planet Volk."
…
Xizi raised his head to listen to the medical staff, then lowered it silently. He recalled the bad things he had done in the past, such as following orders to attack medical staff, steal from the hospital, and otherwise causing chaos. In the past, he had never thought there was anything wrong with these things, but now it seemed... maybe they were really wrong.
If he had no choice in the past, then now Shengxia, as the planet commander, is really trying to create a future with choices for them. From this perspective, she is like a god descended to earth, but why is she doing this?
Previous planetary commanders never cared about them.
Perhaps noticing Xizi's silence, Wei Jie approached him to ask if he was alright. But Xizi asked him a difficult question: "Why did the planetary commander do this to us?"
Wei Jie: ...
Looking at the actor's bewildered expression, Mo Siming subconsciously recalled what Sheng Xia had said: "Children will grow up, and when they grow up, they will have children of their own. Even the faintest light, once it has been lit in the eyes of these children, will not be extinguished so easily."
Mo Siming walked to the actor, rubbed his head and told the actor and everyone else present what Shengxia had told him. Looking at their sparkling eyes, Mo Siming actually felt that perhaps this was the picture Shengxia wanted to see, a future full of hope and light?
"Who knows, maybe this planet commander is just a pure idealist?" Mo Siming shrugged.
"Idealist?" The actor repeated these five words, but for some reason, all the medical staff present became excited and applauded at the same time.
All of this seemed incredible in the eyes of the group of children, so much so that the teachers of the Independence Army did not expect that they could actually teach while walking along the way, and the children's enthusiasm for attending classes was obviously much higher than before.
Three days later, after the Independence Army had safely entered the Rongdong Cave via the hot springs through their original secret route, Shengxia officially announced the list of the second group of personnel entering the Rongdong Cave:
People who are in urgent need of supplies and medical assistance, mainly pregnant women, the elderly, the disabled, young children and families, will completely enter the melting cave within five days to spend the cold season.
Among them, Shengxia also specifically mentioned that if a family has needs and cannot rush to Rongdong on their own, they can contact the emergency police station department in the corresponding area, and the police station personnel will come to help.
The surrounding star region media commented on this move as "a very wise decision" and "potentially reversing the poor reputation of the Volk Planet Police Department and reversing the precarious credibility of the Federation."
Of course, there are also people who complain: "Do these people really dare to call the corresponding police station's contact number?", "Hahaha, I'm afraid that people who can go to the melting cave on their own will not be able to go to the melting cave after contacting the police station", "Given the toughness of the police officers on the planet Volk, it is really hard to imagine the scene of them coming to help at the time"...
Amidst the numerous messages and comments expressing doubt, complaints, and groundless speculation, a new group of livestreamers emerged, setting up their own podcast channels on Starnet to verify whether they could contact the police station and get their help in entering the melt cave.
They called the contact number of the district police station announced by Shengxia for help and live-broadcasted the entire process, thereby gaining a large amount of viewing traffic.
What no one expected this time was that within fifteen minutes of the call for help, the corresponding police station personnel and medical team members arrived at the door with precision, and added corresponding relief supplies based on the different situations described by each podcaster in the call:
Including but not limited to heating equipment, police heating vehicles, medical personnel, non-slip carts, nutrient solution and supplementary nutrient solution.
As for the price that the public is concerned about, Planet Commander has innovatively created a mutual aid model of "working for debts". In short, it allows healthy members of the corresponding families to join the volunteer action to help other families in need transfer the corresponding people in need.
At the same time, family members who join the volunteer action can also receive a free lunch. Please note that it is not a simple nutrient solution, but hot soup and hot rice with a proper combination of meat and vegetables.
Of course, if the whole family is in financial difficulty, the planetary commander also gives the corresponding police officers the right to be provided with assistance “completely free of charge”, and they just need to fill out an application form.
The podcast members who had originally thought that "the police station on Planet Volker couldn't possibly have changed so much" were all embarrassed by the police and medical staff's enthusiasm and attentive service after they arrived.
"Honestly, I'm... a little annoyed right now. This is our planet, our planetary commander. She's done so much, and yet I'm still making sarcastic remarks. I've decided to join the volunteer effort. I don't need to pack my lunch, which will make me feel better."
"Hi, I have joined the volunteer action now. Other family members are traveling with me. We can also learn first aid knowledge during this trip. It's really great."
"Listen, guys. This volunteer effort is truly amazing. The lunch we're providing—yes, the very meal you're seeing right now—is actually free inside the melting cave. Do you know how I feel right now? Praise the Planet Commander! I'll work for her forever."
"I'm guilty of saying so many bad things about the planet commander. You know, it's so warm in this cold winter. I was helping to guide a 70-year-old man into the melting cave. We had a non-slip cart and oxygen tanks the whole time. It reminded me of my grandfather. Oh, I'm sorry I shouldn't have cried."
"I'm super proud today. Look, I joined the volunteer movement. Because of my good performance, I got a little red flower painted on my volunteer uniform. Can you see it? Please keep up the volunteer movement. I'm going to work here until I have to go into a melt cave."
"Damn it! Honestly, I used to think the little red flowers in the volunteer activities were so childish, but today, look, look, I also got a little red flower because I helped a pregnant woman enter the melt cave without having to walk. Ah, this is so exciting! I can actually help others too."
“Please allow this action to continue.”
"Please, let this action continue. Look, I haven't painted all the little red flowers on my clothes yet."
"Police officers even took our jobs. Please, we are volunteers and we have free meals. We should be doing the heavy work."
"Listen to me, I did something really cool today. Look, I gave my lunch to the three little kids in this family. Hi, everyone, say hello to the camera."
…
As more and more touching scenes of the "Volunteer Action" were staged, the people in other star fields who were originally watching these live broadcasts with a spectator's mentality went from laughing loudly at the beginning to gradually unable to laugh anymore... Damn, why am I a little jealous?
On Starnet's largest message board, the term #ColdWinterVolunteerAction#, initiated by Shengxia as the commander of the planet Volker, topped the forum's trending search list:
Honestly, they arrived at the location and began providing assistance within 15 minutes of making the call. Such a quick response would be something I would really need if I had a patient at home.
With medical costs rising, being able to work off debt is incredibly appealing.
My grandmother once gave up medical treatment due to the high cost. As her grandson, I can't do anything. If my planet could be like Volker's, I would really like to join the volunteer action.
Their volunteer activities even include a lunch.
[This action is really great. Thumbs up to the planet commander of Planet Volker.]
[Can you send one of these planet commanders to our planet as well? ]
[Damn it, this is the first time I envy the people of Planet Volker?]
[I heard that the "Little Red Flower" plan was also invented by the planetary commander of Volk. Is she treating the people like kindergarteners?]
[Looking through the planet commander's file, guess what? He's a rookie. Planet Volker is really lucky!]
I feel like I've never been someone who's easily moved, but this time, I was really moved by the volunteer actions of Planet Volker.
[I've never seen police officers get along so well with the people of their planet. I'm so envious.]
The police station's communication system on Planet Volker is divided into multiple zones to ensure a quick response. I think this is a great idea. I wish our planet could adopt such measures.
[Working to repay debts, what kind of utopian plot is unfolding on Planet Volker?]
Damn it! I actually want to immigrate to Planet Volker just because medical care is free.
I always feel that the economic model of free medical care and debt-for-work payments won't last very long. I hope the people of Planet Volker are fine next year.
[Regardless, even though this planetary commander's current actions are reckless, she has truly brought benefits to the people. I think she's still a good person.]
[Yes, after all, I'm a new planet commander. Aren't your expectations a bit too high?]
…
In the core area of Rongdong, Fu Qianshen was very confused when he saw Shengxia browsing the web pages silently without smiling at all. Now, whether inside or outside the star field, the atmosphere was very good, and the people were unprecedentedly united and supportive of her. Everything was developing in a good direction, but looking at her expression... why was she so solemn?
After hearing Shengxia sigh again, Fu Qianshen couldn't help but speak:
"Are you unhappy?"
Shengxia: ... "Uh"
She was stunned for a moment, but she couldn't say whether she was happy or unhappy. It was just that according to her original plan, after transporting the sick and weak people into the melting cave, the last group of people left would be the easiest group for the reactionary forces inside and outside the star field to incite and include in the joint riot.
She had originally thought that she could "fish" to lure out another group of people before the cold wave arrived, and even secretly sent out a number of hidden federal security team members under the pretext of the police station's layout.
If the other party starts a riot, they can be suppressed immediately. In this way, after all the people enter the melting cave, the inside of the melting cave will be safer, and she can also go to the prison to interrogate these people.
In eight months, we will definitely be able to find out a lot of things from this group of people, and it will also deter other people who are still lurking from exposing themselves and causing trouble without authorization.
But now the entire Volker planet is filled with a warm, positive and mutually supportive atmosphere. Not to mention the local rioters, even the rioters backed by forces from other star regions would not be so blind as to deliberately jump out and cause trouble at this moment.
They will just lie in wait, but this will actually increase the pressure on the security system inside the entire melting cave.
The interior of the melt cave is already very compact and will soon accommodate tens of millions of people. If this group of people cannot be suppressed in time, the consequences will probably be worse than letting them riot outside.
Thinking about the subsequent melt hole management, which could cost the lives of police officers or FSB members if not handled with care, and the heavy pressure of extending the alert time to eight months, Shengxia couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, the other star-field forces looked at the united and friendly yet unfamiliar Volk Planet, and were all silent and shocked. They quickly discussed their next plan across the star-field.
"In the past, we underestimated the new planetary commander. In eight months, I believe she will change Planet Volk a lot. We must find a way to break this tranquility."
"Judging from the current situation, starting a riot would simply be a death trap. It's clear that the people are on the side of the planetary commander."
"But if we wait eight months, there's no guarantee that the planetary commander won't take action against our arms dealer."
"We were too slow to act. We should have detained some of the workers from Volk Planet earlier. Now we've released them."
"Can't we wait until we enter the melt cave to start trouble? If there's an explosion, and the living space in the melt cave is further squeezed, then our planetary commander will be forced to make the life-or-death decision of sacrificing some of his men."
"But according to our insider information, the major renovation of the melting cave began three weeks ago. She wasn't kidding, she really renovated the entire melting cave thoroughly."
"So what? We've all witnessed how lazy the workers on Planet Volk are."
"I'm afraid it's no longer what it used to be. From the videos and photos sent by insiders, it can be seen that the quality of the construction this time is indeed very good."
Participants: ...
After a long silence, someone got angry and suggested that they could just trigger an explosion the moment they entered the cave. Shengxia would be held responsible for it with just a bang. It would be even more interesting if it could kill or injure many people.
"We must make a decision soon. I have a feeling that once the cold snap arrives on Volk, the planetary commander will use it as an excuse to cut off Volk's communications with the surrounding star regions."
"Cut off communications? How is that possible? Wouldn't her people be bored to death? It's been eight whole months."
"Perhaps we can use this as an opportunity to prepare for both scenarios. If communications are really cut off, we can launch a campaign for free speech. If an explosion occurs, she will be responsible for the safety of the people."
Suddenly, someone entered the office of Shengxia and the attendees from the alien forces at the same time.
[According to the Meteorological Bureau's monitoring, the cold wave on Planet Volker is expected to cover the entire planet three days in advance]
Upon hearing the news, Shengxia immediately called up the relevant monitoring footage from the Meteorological Bureau. It could be seen that the cold wave cyclone activity on the surface of Volk had suddenly increased significantly. According to the investigation report given by the relevant meteorological experts and researchers, this was because Shengxia had activated the heating system early on a large scale, which led to the intensification of cold air activity.
Judging from the current frequency of cyclone activity, the cold wave may arrive even earlier.
"If it's ahead of schedule, then our plan..." Fu Qianshen couldn't help but frowned when he said this, but he saw Shengxia said after a few seconds of silence: "I can't wait that long" and turned around and left the monitoring room in the core area.
No, where is she going?
Before Fu Qianshen could even ask, Shengxia pulled out a loudspeaker and halted the work of all the researchers in the core area while loudly announcing a new topic: "Let's study this: if you were asked to blow up the entire melting cave, how would you go about it?"
Fu Qianshen: ???
Researchers in various fields in the core area who were ordered to stop working at this moment: ???
No...their planet commander got poisoned from eating hot pot?!
