The journey was shortened by at least several times compared to before, so after just over half an hour, Yan Yue and his men arrived at the entrance of the town.
Seeing the drastically changed building in front of him, he was genuinely surprised. He looked down at the map on his phone in disbelief, which showed that this was Sifang Town. He looked up to see two oversized iron gates and four large characters that he had to look up to see, and fell into deep thought.
It turned out he wasn't mistaken. But why had the villa become a small town? Could it be... He remembered his unpredictable boss.
Most of the people behind him had never seen the villa before. When they saw Yan Yue leading them to a place that looked like the entrance to a small town, the door was wide open. If they looked hard inside, they could vaguely see some buildings.
"Wow! This place is so big, even bigger than our previous base!" someone said excitedly.
"I seem to have seen a lot of factories and jobs on my phone. After I get settled in, I'll go find a job right away!" Someone else had already searched through everything on his phone last night and felt that he already knew the town very well.
"It didn't seem to be this big when I came here last time. Did I remember it wrong?" Some people also doubted their memory.
While the people behind him were chattering, Yan Yue was racking his brains over how to get everyone in. According to the instructions on the map, it was still several kilometers to the central area.
Feelings have incorporated this distance into the town.
At this moment, Shi Jiu's message popped up, "Yan Yue, take your people and wait a moment. I'll send a car to pick you up. The first bus has just been assembled."
Bus? Yan Yue looked at the information above, confused. He had the impression that the bus was that big. There were tens of thousands of people here. How many times would it take to go back and forth?
But there was no other choice but to ask the team to stop temporarily and wait for the bus that Shi Jiu mentioned to come out.
After a while, everyone saw a car in the distance that looked no different from the buses before the apocalypse. It was coming towards them at an extremely fast speed. It drifted to a stop in front of them, the door opened, and a woman got out.
As soon as Shi Jiu got off the bus, he saw a crowd of people that stretched as far as the eye could see. He was very happy and said to Yan Yue, "Yan Yue, you did a great job. Let's count a thousand people and get on the bus first. You lead them over first, and I'll maintain order here."
Yan Yue asked in some surprise: "A thousand people? This..." Then he took a look at the bus. Is there any mystery in it?
"That's right, this bus can seat a thousand people. There are five lines to get on the bus. Hurry up and arrange for people to get on." She was a little surprised when she got the assembled bus. After all, it looked ordinary. Who knew it could carry so many people?
The people behind them were also shocked when they heard their conversation. They thought that the membership machines and mobile phones last night were high-tech enough, but who knew that there would be a bus that could carry a thousand people now.
So under Yan Yue's arrangement, the first batch of guests got on the bus in an orderly manner.
After getting on the bus, they found that it was not what they had imagined. There were rows of seats with no end in sight. They quickly found a seat and sat down. The driver's seat was a sealed space with only the door and handle visible. After they were all seated, the bus started immediately.
Along the way, they listened to the radio in the car that came on from time to time.
"Pond No. 1 has arrived...Pond No. 2 has arrived..."
Until the last reminder of the terminal, "We have arrived at the town center. Please take your belongings and get off the bus in an orderly manner."
"Wow, this bus is really fast. It feels like it only takes a few minutes." Someone couldn't help but say to his friends when getting off the bus with his luggage.
"Haven't you noticed? With so many of us on board, we were all seated within a few minutes. However, we spent the most time getting on the bus, while walking to our seats wasn't much slower." Someone noticed the problem.
"It's the same even if we get off the bus now. They all walked out in no time. This town is really magical!" After getting off the bus, the man looked at the main building and residential areas in amazement. He must have come to a fairyland!
Yan Yue, who got off the car with them, was also a little dazed. He had just glanced at the scenery outside the window for a few seconds while in the car, so why did he get off now?
But after getting off the bus and seeing the familiar building in front of him, he felt a little more at ease. "You all should follow the map to find a house to rent, buy some things, and familiarize yourself with the environment. I won't accompany you."
After Yan Yue sent them here, their future lives would depend on themselves. The people present also knew this. After seeing such a magical place as the town, they had already put aside their bad feelings, and after happily saying goodbye to Yan Yue, they started to move towards a new life.
Yan Yue transported everyone in the base back and forth like this. After more than twenty trips, he finally said goodbye to Shi Jiu and the last group of survivors and followed her to the office building.
Shi Jiu saw that he was feeling a little down, so he comforted him, "Don't be upset, as long as you work hard, they will at least live better here than outside. Besides, it's not like you'll never see each other again. This town isn't that big, so maybe you'll see them every day."
Yan Yue thought about it and realized that what he said was right. He had already accomplished his mission by escorting the people here safely. What happened next depended on their own luck.
Shi Jiu remembered that when he was guarding someone just now, he didn't seem to see the person he saw before, "Where is your father?"
Yan Yue thought of his father and was silent for a moment. "He... doesn't want to come. There are also a few people who refuse to come no matter what. I left a lot of food and clothes. I will check on them regularly and make sure they are okay."
When Shi Jiu heard Yan Yue say this, he didn't care anymore. Maybe they had feelings for the base. "They must have contributed a lot to the base. They have such feelings for it. So, when you come over next time, tell me and I'll prepare something for you to take with you."
Yan Yue agreed with difficulty, but he was still thinking about Yan Ping who was far away in the base. After last night, he just threw a bag in in the morning to make sure that Yan Ping would not starve to death. He didn't want to care about anything else.
He will be alone from now on...
While walking on the road, a somewhat familiar figure came towards him. Just when Yan Yue was wondering when he had seen this guy before, Shi Jiu beside him called out his name.
"Yin Xue, good morning!" Shi Jiu was very kind to this man who was the first one from City A to arrive here and brought so many guests to her, even though he came here with a mission.
Yan Yue widened his eyes. It was the boy who followed him into the base, but he didn't look as dirty today as he did that day. He almost didn't recognize him.
Yin Xue had just come out of the cafeteria and unexpectedly ran into the boss and the person next to him who had let him go once.
"Good morning, boss. Good morning, Mr. Yan..." Yin Xue responded somewhat awkwardly, then said a few words and left.
Yan Yue looked at his departing back and felt that his face looked somewhat familiar. He remembered that he had followed him into the base openly with a walkie-talkie. He didn't know whether to say he was brave or stupid.
Shi Jiu also remembered that he had carried a rice warehouse with him before, but it was not detected on his body now. It was probably taken back after the mission was completed.
Thinking of this, she remembered the director of City A who said he would give an answer this morning. She didn't know what decision he would make. She was very envious of that group of people.
Li Sui, who was being thought of by Shi Jiu, was in Qin Lou's office at this time, telling Qin Lou the final decision.
"Butler Qin, we've considered your suggestion yesterday. Your town is indeed very attractive, but I don't quite understand why you want so many people to join you."
This is also something that Li Sui doesn't quite understand. After all, the living space is limited, and supplies are not endless. The more people there are, the more things they need to carry.
Qin Lou was also a little stuck when facing his problem. In essence, Shi Jiu needed more customers to help upgrade the system, but he couldn't say that truthfully.
Seeing that he seemed to be having trouble speaking, Li Sui immediately thought of the speculations of his subordinates. He had thought it was a bit outrageous before. After all, they might have similar superpowers. He had also been concerned about whether this place would be more suitable for survival than the outside world.
Now, he actually saw hesitation in the butler, which might be related to this. Is the world really going to revive its spiritual energy?
Thinking of this, Li Sui's expression froze, and he immediately said to Qin Lou, "Butler Qin, our refuge is very willing to join the town and build a happy life together. However, there is a problem that I wonder if can be solved?"
When Qin Lou was about to give a simple excuse to get away with it, he saw Li Sui's face full of understanding and he quickly asked to join the town.
"What's the problem?"
"We have a research laboratory in our shelter. Although recent results have been mediocre, the water problem has been temporarily solved. I noticed yesterday that there are no similar buildings in the town. After we arrive here, can we open similar jobs?"
"Director Li, are you... going to give up the name of the shelter?" Qin Lou understood his implication. If their people came, the shelter would no longer exist.
Li Sui, half relieved of his burden, smiled wryly and said, "It's just a group of people building a shelter and trying to survive. Now, on the one hand, living conditions are worrying, and on the other, internal conflicts are slowly emerging. As the director, I can only retire after I have settled everyone."
Now that he had finally found a buyer, Li Sui looked at Qin Lou with an expression of deep emotion, which was completely different from his previous steady and serious look.
Qin Lou looked at his changes. Could it be that this guy regarded their town as a place to take over? Just when he wanted to say a few more words, there was a knock on the door by Shi Jiu.
He immediately stood up to open the door, and Shi Jiu brought Yan Yue in.
Li Sui also looked over and when he saw Shi Jiu, even though he had never seen him before, he guessed that this was the boss, and he gave him a warm handshake.
"Hello, boss. I'm the director of the A City Shelter. My name is Li Sui."
Shi Jiu was a little confused when he saw how enthusiastic he was. Wasn't it said that Director Li was very serious?
"Hello, hello, I'm the boss of the town." Although Shi Jiu was a little confused, he didn't think much about it. "Director Li, how did you think about it yesterday?"
"I was just talking about this, Boss. After careful consideration, I think we can join the town's big family with all the survivors of City A. When would you like me to bring people over?"
Li Sui's straightforwardness made Shi Jiu a little overwhelmed. After hearing the good news, he almost said, "Any time is fine, but of course the sooner the better."
