The stairs were crowded at this time, and everyone was rushing down.
With so many people crowded on the stairs, all running downstairs, pushing and shoving each other, it's easy for accidents to happen.
Nan Ci had no intention of maintaining order, nor did he plan to squeeze in with these people. He just walked down slowly with the old Taoist priest and the other two.
Walking on the stairs, Mu Qianqian would look down from time to time and ask the questions in her mind.
"Nan Ci, tell me, why did such a big ship suddenly come? Could it be that someone from the government really came to rescue us?"
Nan Ci glanced at Mu Qianqian and said, "How many people do you think this boat can accommodate? How many boats like this are there?"
The permanent population of City X exceeds 10 million. Even after the heavy rain, many people were trapped or even killed, but there were still nearly 10 million survivors.
City X is not a coastal city, so naturally there are not many ships. If we send a ship to rescue people, where will we place them after they are rescued?
If the authorities really have enough ships, the first thing they would do would definitely not be to transfer survivors, but to salvage supplies and then deliver them to various places at a regular interval.
After hearing Nan Ci's words, Mu Qianqian thought about it seriously and nodded, "You are right. With just one boat, we can't even accommodate the rest of the people in our building, not to mention the many buildings in this community.
Since they are not official people, what are they here for?"
Nan Ci smiled slightly, "Won't you know the answer when you get down there?"
Hearing this, Mu Qianqian quickened her pace and said, "Then I'll go down quickly and find a better position, otherwise I probably won't be able to hear you."
When Zhou Ziyang saw Mu Qianqian running down, he hurriedly chased after her without saying a word.
Both of them were very fast. In a short while, they had gone down two floors and put some distance between themselves and the old Taoist Nan Ci.
Nan Ci was really not in a hurry, but seeing that the old Taoist priest beside him was also calm and composed, he couldn't help but feel curious, "Master, why don't you be curious about what these people are doing here?"
"I'm curious!" The old Taoist priest said leisurely, "So I came down to take a look, didn't I?"
This made so much sense that Nan Ci didn't even know how to respond.
Nan Ci is not the kind of person who would find something to say even if he has nothing to say.
Nan Ci didn't know what to say, so he just shut up.
Unexpectedly, after going down another floor, the old Taoist priest slowly spoke again.
"Your tiger is pretty quiet."
Nan Ci's heart skipped a beat, but he remained expressionless. He slowly turned his head and looked towards the old Taoist priest.
The two looked at each other, neither of them spoke.
Nan Ci didn't say anything because he wasn't sure what the old Taoist priest meant.
They have collaborated several times.
But during these few times, they never mentioned Zaizai.
Now that the old Taoist priest suddenly said this, Nan Ci was really unsure what his purpose was.
A strange silence spread around the two people.
Nan Ci was about to speak when he saw the old Taoist priest speak again.
"I have a turtle, and it's very noisy. It wants to go out and play every day."
Nan Ci, "???"
Turtle is making a fuss? Still want to go out and play?
Although Nan Ci had never raised a turtle, he had seen one before.
How could a turtle raised by a decent person make trouble?
"Master, you are joking. Turtles can't make noises, so why are they making such a fuss?"
Besides, it is raining heavily outside and the water is as high as dozens of floors. What can the turtle do if it goes out?
Could it be that he remembered his past memories and wanted to return to the embrace of the sea?
The old Taoist raised his lips and gave a rather sloppy smile. "I'll let you see it later, and you'll know."
After saying that, the old Taoist sighed, "Your tiger is still obedient!"
Nan Ci frowned.
If it was just a suspicion before, Nan Ci could now be sure that the old Taoist priest did have something else in his words.
Nan Ci wanted to ask in detail, but the old Taoist priest did not give her the opportunity.
"arrive."
Hearing the old Taoist priest say two more words, Nan Ci subconsciously turned his head and looked down, and sure enough, he saw that the stairs to the next floor were crowded with people.
Nan Ci looked carefully and also saw Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang.
The two of them were being attacked from both sides.
There were so many people in front and behind that it was difficult to move.
With so many people here, it's really not appropriate to continue with the previous topic.
Nan Ci had to suppress the curiosity in his heart and decided to ask after going upstairs.
The place was packed with people, the crowd was surging and the noise was deafening.
It looks like all the people who can move in the building have come.
With so many people, it is impossible for all of them to go to the 20th floor. What’s the point of squeezing here and not being able to see anything?
Nan Ci was thinking this when he suddenly heard the sound of a loud speaker.
"Quiet! Everybody, be quiet!"
The man's voice was amplified countless times through the loudspeaker.
Even though Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest were quite far away from the 20th floor, they heard these words clearly.
The noisy crowd suddenly became quiet after hearing the sound.
But it only lasted for a moment before it erupted again.
This time people were cheering, shouting, and some even cried out of excitement.
They haven't used any electrical appliances since the power outage.
Now hearing the voices coming from the loudspeaker, giving them hope of having electricity, how could they not be excited.
The man with the loud speaker shouted several more times before finally quieting the crowd down again.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me! I believe you have seen our ship. We are here today to take you away. However, our ship is limited in size, and the base is still under construction and is not yet complete. We have some young and capable people who will go over to help build it. When the base is built, we can take the rest of the people over.
If you are willing to help build the base, then come over to my side and get on board with me."
As soon as the man finished speaking, the crowd burst into laughter, "Yes! We all do!"
“I know everyone is willing, but building a base is not easy. Children and the elderly cannot keep up with the physical and mental strength and are not suitable for construction. It is better to wait here until the base is built.
Young people are suitable for this job! Especially some bold and careful girls, who have a natural advantage in setting up bases. Of course, boys also need it, but they focus on different aspects.
I'll give you five minutes. If you are willing to go, come on board. You don't need to bring anything. Food, drink and the base are all provided.
By the way, because of the limited space on the ship, the base asked us to take the girls there first for emergency use, and the boys will wait for the next batch."
The man's words fell here, and the crowd exploded again.
The sound of heated discussion filled the entire stairwell, as if tens of thousands of flies and mosquitoes were hovering around Nan Ci's ears.
This is not what bothers Nan Ci the most.
What made Nan Ci frown was what the man had just said.
