People these days live like they're not really alive, and they die like they're not really dead.
...
The sun was shining brightly, the sky was clear, and a large number of man-eating monsters gathered outside the wall formed by military vehicles, their howling roars making people very uncomfortable.
Soon, a lot of noise came from inside the air-raid shelter, indicating that many people had woken up.
"When will the inspection begin?" I asked.
Fei Lichao frowned and said, "When will the battalion commander be ready?"
I shook my head and said, "I can't be sure, but as long as it doesn't get infected or inflamed today, there shouldn't be any problem."
He nodded and said, "Then let's talk about it after today."
"Let's talk about it after today," Fei Lichao said decisively, leaving no room for doubt.
In my opinion, it's best to start these kinds of checks as early as possible, otherwise things could go wrong if something happens along the way.
However, Fei Lichao's meaning was clear: if the inspection really started today, then the battalion commander's situation might be known to these people outside, and if they caused trouble, it would be impossible to control them.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the battalion commander, he had no choice but to delay.
If the battalion commander really can't hold on, there's nothing I can do.
He jumped off the roof of the vehicle, woke up several comrades who were sleeping nearby, and then went into the air-raid shelter.
I followed behind him.
Almost everyone in the air-raid shelter was awake and began to take care of their morning needs. There were only three toilets in the shelter, but there were more than a hundred people inside, so you can imagine the situation.
Upon arriving at the warehouse entrance, Pu Weichao, who had been sleeping against the doorway, was yawning and stretching, mumbling indistinctly, "Oh, you guys are awake too. Where's the toilet? I'm really holding it in."
"Over there," I said, pointing to the toilets where a long line had already formed at the entrance.
"So many people!" Pu Weichao exclaimed in surprise, his eyes wide.
There were indeed a lot of people, but that's just how it is.
"Ah!" Suddenly, a scream came from inside the warehouse.
Fei Lichao and I exchanged a glance, both frowning. Pu Weichao, hearing the screams from inside, felt a chill and asked, "What's going on?"
"Come on, let's go in!" Fei Lichao ignored Pu Weichao's question, pulled me and pushed open the door into the warehouse.
On the carpet in the corner, the battalion commander clutched the wound on his waist, his face covered in cold sweat, his lips pale, and he looked to be in very bad shape.
Wu Shuang tried to pry the battalion commander's hands apart, but he was too weak to do so.
"What's going on?" Fei Lichao asked, frowning.
"I don't know!" Wu Shuang said anxiously.
The battalion commander looked to be in a hurry, but not seriously. I took out a sedative from the medical kit left by the military doctor and gave him an injection. A moment later, the battalion commander rolled his eyes and fainted.
"How is it?" Fei Lichao asked anxiously.
I checked it and pulled back the gauze around the battalion commander's waist. I saw that the wound had actually been torn open!
However, the tear wasn't severe, which explains why he screamed like that. With the wound torn open and no painkillers available, it's no wonder it hurt.
I said, "It's nothing serious, just a torn wound."
"Is it serious?" Fei Lichao asked.
I shook my head and said, "We'll see. As long as the wound doesn't get infected today, it'll be fine. But if it does get infected, it'll be a big problem."
Fei Lichao nodded without asking any further questions.
...
Life in the air-raid shelter may seem peaceful, but it's actually quite chaotic.
Fights and arguments broke out during the distribution of food for the day, all because of some minor issues with queuing.
In some serious cases, there were even robberies. When Wu Shuang saw this, she even tried to stop them.
I could only hold her back to prevent her from going any further.
She asked me, "Why won't they let me go? Everyone has some, why are they fighting over it?"
I looked helpless and said, "Fei Lichao and the others haven't gotten involved in this matter, so what can we do? There must be a reason why they're not taking it seriously. If you just go there like this, you definitely won't be able to handle it. What if an even bigger problem arises?"
"But..." Wu Shuang looked at the woman whose food had been taken away, not knowing what to do.
I shook my head and said, "Don't worry about it. What happens here is beyond our control."
Wu Shuang looked at me with disappointment in her eyes and finally gave up the idea of interfering.
Looking at the woman with her aggrieved expression, I felt resentful, but what could I do? If I went over and helped her get her share of food back, what would happen in the days to come? Did I have to go and help her every time something like this happened?
Fei Lichao was watching from the exit when this happened, but he didn't move at all.
This shows that this kind of thing has happened many times in air-raid shelters.
Wu Shuang returned to the warehouse dejectedly. I held the food I had just received, turned to look at the woman, and sighed.
"Why."
I walked through the crowd to the woman's side, took out half of the food I was holding, and placed it in front of her.
She didn't say a word. At first, she hesitated, but in the end, she took half of the food and hid it. Then she stared at me warily, as if afraid that I would change my mind.
I didn't care. When I got back to the warehouse, I saw Wu Shuang sullenly eating a biscuit.
When she saw me coming, she moved to the side and leaned against another corner.
I raised an eyebrow but didn't pay much attention. I opened the remaining bag of cookies and ate them slowly with some cold water.
