There were no casualties in the Zuo family, but when Old Madam Zuo heard that her granddaughter was gone, she fainted.
Mrs. Zuo already suffered from high blood pressure and heart disease, and she couldn't bear the blow of losing her only granddaughter, so she passed away the next day.
At this point, Uncle Zuo sighed wearily, his former high spirits nowhere to be seen.
Bai Shuang also felt a deep sense of regret.
Thinking of that bright, lovely, and somewhat innocent little girl who called me "sister" and always chased after me for cosmetics, I feel sad because she's gone forever.
There's also Grandma Zuo. After discovering Bai Shuang's shrewdness and competence, she initially wanted to marry Bai Shuang to her.
When that didn't work, he gave her a white jade bracelet, hoping to adopt her as his goddaughter.
Although she had her own calculations, it was only natural for her to think of her juniors.
Mediocre yet kind.
After Bai Shuang refused, she did not use her power to intimidate him, but only wanted to ask for a favor to benefit her descendants and to form a good relationship.
As a result, Bai Shuang later became friends with the Zuo family, and to this day, the two sides continue to help each other and benefit each other.
The dead are gone, but the living must go on living.
They also live a nocturnal lifestyle here. In the past few days, they have been busy searching for survivors, dealing with the bodies inside and around the base, and repairing houses.
The unexpected hurricane resulted in the loss of 30% of the personnel at the Dragon City base.
As for those who did not enter the base, no living people have been found so far.
There are not many survivors in Uncle Zuo's mining area. They are currently being housed at the base, and the mining area has not yet been taken care of.
There is no shortage of water here; we use filtered water from Jinhu Lake. However, Zuojia Snow Brick has a large storage capacity, so we are now using snow water.
However, the base still faces a significant food shortage, and crops still cannot grow in the extremely hot soil.
Uncle Zuo: "What are the current entry requirements for the Kyoto base?"
"Nothing has changed, it's the same as before."
Bai Shuang understood what Uncle Zuo meant; they wanted to enter the Kyoto base, but their combat strength was insufficient...
After having dinner at Uncle Zuo's house, Bai Shuang and Lu Yu went back to their room.
After hearing Uncle Zuo's account of the situation here, my mood grew even heavier.
But the temperature outside is too high during the day, so I can't go out to look for people; I can only wait for the sun to set.
Back in her room, Bai Shuang took out a compass and used metaphysics to try and predict Li Shishu's fortune.
But no matter what I did, I couldn't get a result; everything in front of me was shrouded in fog.
It's possible that their relationship was too close, they had lived together for a long time, and they had a father-daughter bond, so it was impossible to determine.
Divination is a very difficult art to predict one's own or one's loved ones' future.
Bai Shuang also uses Bai Tian, Bai Di, and Niu Niu's birth chart.
They're helping out at Uncle Li's coal mine; they might be together.
I took a test, and thankfully, no one was hurt during the day or in the open. The general location is in the northwest, which is quite far away.
The white one is clearer, but it doesn't seem to be doing well; the signs of life are somewhat weak.
Let's rest first. We both flew all night and are tired. We need to be well before we can look for someone.
The room that Aunt Zuo prepared for the two of them had an air conditioner and a fan, so it wasn't too hot. They went into the room, took a shower, ate some fruit, and then came out.
In the afternoon, before the sun had set, Bai Shuang and her companion got up. Aunt Zuo prepared cold noodles for them, with extra green vegetables added.
In the apocalypse, this is considered a very good meal.
Bai Shuang asked Uncle Zuo, "Can you help me recruit some people? They need to be physically strong, the more the better."
Can I convert the reward into points?
The mountainous terrain is complex, and it would take two people on four legs to find it.
Uncle Zuo nodded, "There are plenty of people willing to work, they would respond to any call, but they are all hungry and have no strength."
However, transferring points won't work; food is scarce at the base right now, and even with points, there's nothing to buy.
Lu Yu: "Has it always been like this?"
Uncle Zuo shook his head, "It was better before the extreme heat, but after the flood, the base lost some of its already limited food supplies."
The government is currently trying to find a solution.
Lu Yu: "Can Jin Lake be flooded to produce aquatic products?"
Uncle Zuo: "It won't work in the near future, we need to take care of him."
Lake Jin is too shallow, unlike the Yellow River, where aquatic life freezes to death during extreme cold.
Bai Shuang thought for a moment and remembered that before the extreme cold, Lu Yu's military camp had given them potatoes. There was still a lot of space left, so she might as well take them out and give them to them to eat.
"How about we give them potatoes?"
We stored some underground in Uncle Li's mining area last time; they should still be there.
White rice and fine noodles are too jarring and can easily provoke hatred.
"Any food that can stave off hunger is fine."
Potatoes are a good thing; they ate all the dry grass and twigs on the ground.
Is it really that cruel?
It's agreed that Uncle Zuo will be in charge of recruiting people.
Bai Shuang and her companion drove a large truck from the base, circled around outside, and returned with a load of potatoes.
The potatoes were big and fresh. Lu Yu smiled and said, "Such good potatoes, why didn't you take them out for the soldiers to eat?"
"Haven't I given them enough? They're insatiable."
"Just kidding, honey, don't be angry."
Bai Shuang knew he was joking and ignored him.
They not only hauled a truckload of potatoes, but also some salt and cornmeal.
People will have no strength if they don't eat salt.
I also gave Uncle Zuo two bags of rice and flour, as I would be troubling him for the next few days.
As long as we can find the person, all the effort will be worthwhile.
We must find Uncle Li and the others as soon as possible; we can't delay any longer, as too much time has already passed.
Every day we delay increases the danger.
The more people there are and the faster the search goes, the higher the chance of finding it.
Uncle Zuo asked someone to choose someone with good physical strength, and Bai Shuang and Lu Yu went to take a look.
Those few people were picking people one by one in front, while a group of people dressed in tattered clothes were lined up in a long queue behind them.
People cut in line from time to time, and arguments could be heard. At the front of the line, survivors pushed and shoved impatiently forward.
I'm worried that if everyone picks their turn, there won't be any left for me.
Seeing the survivors like this, Lu Yu frowned, and Uncle Zuo was also helpless.
The base doesn't have much food, and the government can't do anything about it.
“Your actions have also provided them with relief.”
Bai Shuang explained the characteristics of Uncle Li and his companions, as well as the search area and methods, to them.
She had initially thought the survivors at the Kyoto base were thin, but compared to them, those people were already quite fat.
This was the first time Bai Shuang had ever seen people who would eagerly volunteer to work without being paid, as long as they were provided with meals.
In the base's main canteen, Bai Shuang gave instructions to the cooks.
"Steam more potatoes, and the rice will be plentiful. Cook the corn porridge a little thicker, add some salt, and make it a savory porridge."
Thank you!
They were finally able to eat a proper meal made from grains.
Divide those people into groups and elect group leaders to supervise the work.
They rented vehicles from the base using potatoes and cornmeal, transported them to designated areas, and conducted a thorough search.
Whoever finds it will be rewarded with 100 catties of grain.
The group that finds the person will be rewarded with ten catties of grain for each member.
After making these arrangements, Bai Shuang and Lu Yu found a secluded spot, launched their plane, and flew towards Uncle Li's coal mine to see if they could find any clues.
As the plane flew at low altitude, the two men discovered that there were still people active at the Li family's coal mine...
