"Some people have fainted. Please share some of your snow bricks to save lives. We are all from the same base and should work together."
Some of the Bai family's employees felt sorry for them and wanted to share a piece of snow brick with them, but Vice President Li disagreed.
"We wanted to help, but it was too hot and the snow bricks had already melted."
"You can also give some of your snow water."
Liu Changhong: "We've run out of snow water. In this weather, how much water will we have? We're all waiting for the base to replenish its water supply."
At this point, snow bricks and snow water are life-saving items; giving them to others could cost you your life.
Someone said, "You say it's gone and it's gone? Dare to let us search?"
"Why should we let you search us? It's a favor we're doing you, it's our right not to."
Among the Bai family employees, some couldn't help but retort.
"Exactly, are you stealing or robbing?"
Just as the two sides were about to fight, the accompanying soldiers came over and forcibly separated them.
Bai Shuang learned about the events that occurred on the road from Lu Yu, as the accompanying military personnel maintained constant contact with higher-ups.
Bai Shuang was also very angry when she heard this. Lu Yu advised her that it is normal for some people to lose their bottom line when their survival is threatened.
The next morning at breakfast, Grandpa Lu asked Bai Shuang if there was any way to help them.
"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that there are too many of them, hundreds of thousands of people. How many snow bricks would I have to bring over? And how would I even manage to bring them all?"
If we only give it to the Bai family employees at this point, they'll probably scramble for it.
Hiking in the extreme heat is difficult, and even with shaded tents at midday and the base sending people to replenish their water supply every day, it's still not easy.
But this isn't the hardest part yet.
The last three days of this week-long journey were the hardest.
Fortunately, the selection process for entering the base was strict, and almost all of them were in good physical condition.
After finishing their meal, the group continued collecting supplies. Their current task was to help Bai Shuang finish collecting the items at the old base as soon as possible so they could go to the new base to assist.
Bai Shuang was still taken aback when she entered the armory.
"So much weaponry?"
I spent hundreds of millions to buy those weapons back then, so how much are they worth?
Although it was to help the base collect the spoils, Bai Shuang was still quite happy. Only when the GJ is strong can she have peace of mind.
Besides, with so many weapons stored in the space, it's very convenient for me to use them.
Old Lu seemed to see through her thoughts, "Such a large base, with so many soldiers, if it doesn't have enough weapons, wouldn't it be like a toothless tiger?"
Every single item here is meticulously crafted; even the slightest discrepancy will be investigated.
If you want to stay, you can transfer a portion from Lu Yu's military rations, but not too much, as it will affect your equipment.
Bai Shuang: "Who cares?"
Just pay the management fee when the time comes, humph!
Old Master Lu turned his head to the side and looked at his grandson, but Lu Yu pretended not to see him.
The others pretended not to hear.
It's normal for the grandfather and grandson to bicker; everyone's used to it. Luckily, everyone in this industry is one of us.
Next, they acquired various types of machinery from the military factory.
Bai Shuang became increasingly excited as she collected the materials. She had truly struck it rich; she even had the machinery to create fire.
"The base also has a textile factory? I don't seem to see any new fabrics?"
Lu Yu: "The main problem is the lack of raw materials, and the paper mill is also facing this issue."
It wasn't until late afternoon, when Bai Shuang got tired, that she stopped.
On the fourth day, Mr. Lu suggested taking a day off.
Today, the base transported food to replenish the survivors. Old Lu asked Bai Shuang if she could find a way to help those people on the road.
"The population is dwindling, we mustn't let them perish on the road."
"Mind your own business, honestly!"
Bai Shuang didn't want to get involved in this matter, but she couldn't stand Old Master Lu nagging her all day long.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. We're all compatriots; if they die, what good will it do us? If we have the ability, we should lend them a hand.
But by this time, they should have already traveled halfway, more than a hundred miles from the old base. Driving there in this sweltering heat wouldn't be fast; it would take several hours.
Bai Shuang decided to fly the plane first, and then switch to a car when they were almost at their destination.
Lu Yu cannot go, as he must take Bai Jiu and the other two, along with the snow leopard.
He was a high-ranking military officer, and if he went there, the survivors would misunderstand that the supplies belonged to the public.
Even if you give it to them, they won't remember your kindness and will take it for granted, or even try to snatch it in their haste.
When Bai Shuang and the others went over, it was clear that the items belonged to private individuals.
Bai Shuang prepared herself and took off in her plane as the sun began to set, landing about 30 miles away from them.
They modified a water tanker truck, filled with mineral water to make a refreshing soup, and added spring water, which could increase energy and repair the body.
Then, they took out some of the savory snacks, instant noodles, and compressed biscuits they had collected from supermarkets before the disaster, loaded them into a large truck, and planned to sell them to the victims later.
When a person sweats continuously, they cannot do without replenishing salt.
As soon as the two cars arrived, the people surrounded them.
Bai Shuang and the other two came down, each carrying a gun to prevent looting.
The accompanying soldiers saw this and took the initiative to come over and maintain order.
Bai Shuang didn't recognize those soldiers; they weren't Lu Yu's subordinates.
"Oh, are you here to help us? Every time I see you, it's like seeing a savior."
The soldier next to her had a sweet tongue; he kept talking as soon as he saw Bai Shuang and the others.
Bai Shuang: "I don't have that much ability, I can only do my bit."
"No, you are Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves us from suffering..."
"Alright, that's enough. There's some refreshing soup in the car. You can each have a cup and drink it. There's food over there, take it and eat it before you get back to work."
