Chapter 26 Joining the rescue team On a rainy night, there was a knock on the Qiao family’s door.
"Who is it?" Qiao Qiao put down the cat in her arms and walked over.
Although the power is off, the battery inside the monitor is still working and can be used temporarily.
Outside the door is Tang Mingli.
Qiao Qiao and Qiao Huizhou looked at each other and opened the door.
"Sister Tang, what's the matter?"
Tang Mingli: "Qiao Qiao, the Federation has a special mission now. I want to ask you if you want to participate."
"What mission?" Qiao Qiao asked.
"We don't have enough rescue workers right now, so the Special Administration Bureau is going to recruit a group of temporary workers. The pay is pretty good, so I want to ask if you're interested."
Qiao Qiao felt curious after hearing this. In her dream, she was already living in the library with the rescue team. Everyone was crowded in the open space without bedding and could only get one compressed biscuit every day.
Now that I am living a peaceful life at home with my parents, I can't help but feel a little emotional.
"What treatment? What mission?"
When Tang Mingli heard Qiao Qiao's question, he knew that he was halfway to success.
"The mission is simple, just follow the lifeboat to nearby towns to rescue disaster victims."
"The conditions for rescue workers are not harsh, except for one requirement, which is good physical strength. The current treatment is two meals a day, plus a set of supplies. If you can bring your own lifeboat, it would be even better, and the treatment would be based on the original treatment plus a set of supplies,"
Qiao Qiao did not answer immediately. Given the current situation, the treatment was already very good. However, she had no shortage of supplies, so there was no need to risk the heavy rain and go out to rescue.
What she wants is...
"How much would it be if converted into contribution points?"
Tang Mingli was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted. Qiao Xinghe had earned contribution points by handing it over to the supermarket before, so she knew it was normal.
"Wait a minute, I need to consult my superiors about this matter." She took out a walkie-talkie from her arms and quickly reported the situation.
Deputy Captain Zhao was busy and overwhelmed when he received Tang Mingli's report.
"Qiao Qiao? As I recall, it was the one that bought her supermarket for 500 contribution points." Deputy Captain Zhao said.
"If she wants contribution points, we'll give her half of what we give her. Provide her with two meals a day for 5 contribution points, and an extra contribution point for every 10 people she saves."
"Sure." Qiao Qiao agreed immediately after receiving the answer. "Since the Federation is short of manpower, there shouldn't be many relief supplies. I can donate some supplies."
Tang Mingli's tired face showed excitement for the first time. "Really? Thank you so much."
"Um."
"Okay, then you come with me to the federal government tomorrow, and I'll take the supplies with you before we leave."
"Okay." After saying that, Qiao Qiao went back to the house and closed the door.
"How is it?" Qiao Xinghe and Qiao Huizhou came up and asked.
After Qiao Qiao told his parents what happened, they also decided to become rescue workers.
"Forget it, rescue workers require physical strength." Qiao Qiao couldn't bear to see his parents still fighting at the age of fifty.
She saved so many supplies just to let them live a good life.
"You young people are so small and yet you look down on us. Your father is in good health. He exercises every day, swimming, running, playing basketball, and playing football.
What kind of sports have you missed, badminton? A few months ago, your mom and I ran a half marathon. Can you do it? Besides, if conditions permit, saving others is also saving yourself. "
Qiao Xinghe's words left her with no way to refute. Even after more than a month of training at home, her physical fitness was still not as good as her parents'.
"Okay then, but be careful and focus on yourself." Qiao Qiao reminded worriedly.
"No problem." The parents agreed quickly.
In addition to the donated supplies, Qiao Qiao also took out three speedboats and 10 life jackets and lifebuoys and placed them in the living room.
Among them, the R-level card speedboat was naturally given to Qiao Huizhou for use. The quality of the products produced by the system is much better than those bought outside.
Three hours ago, when the dam broke, Qiao family.
"How many boats do we have?" asked Qiao Xinghe.
Qiao Qiao thought for a while, "Not counting the R-class cards, there are 10 speedboats, 10 rubber boats, 500 life jackets and life buoys, and a lot of food and water, enough for the three of us to eat for decades."
"Let's donate some supplies." Qiao Xinghe's proposal was agreed by the two.
After discussion, 5 speedboats, 8 rubber boats, 400 life jackets and lifebuoys, 10 bags of rice and flour, 10 boxes of 24 bottles of mineral water, and 20 boxes of instant noodles were purchased.
If there were more, it would probably attract attention.
Before going to bed, the radio and broadcast outside the window, which had been silent for a long time, released news.
[Emergency Notice: Due to the recent heavy rains, the water level of the Song River flowing through the northeast region has risen, and 561 large, medium and small reservoirs including the Biyu Reservoir, Zhengjiabao Reservoir, and Lijiawan Reservoir have now burst.
The rescue pressure on relevant departments is increasing, and now they need the assistance of the general public: there is an urgent need for boats, lifebuoys, life jackets, various foods, water, etc., and they are also recruiting rescue personnel.
The benefits are as follows: two meals a day and one set of supplies.
All those who intend to register or receive material assistance should arrive at any federal government or sub-government location in the Northeast Region at 7 a.m. tomorrow. If you are interested in 67 communities, including XX Community, AA Community, QO Community, PV Community, etc., you can hang a red or orange sign in a conspicuous place and someone will come to pick you up.
Thank you for your cooperation. I believe that with everyone's concerted efforts, we will be able to overcome any difficulties! 】
"What a shitty rescue team! They didn't come to rescue us even though we are in such a bad situation. Instead, they asked us to rescue others? You must be dreaming!"
The corridor of a certain residential area is so crowded that the surviving residents on the lower floors dare not live in their homes, and there is no one to take them in on the upper floors, so they can only make do in the corridor. With so many people and so many hands, many conflicts occur every day.
Either you squeezed me, or my things were stolen. Some people urinated and defecated everywhere and others accidentally stepped on them, and then a fight started.
"But they provide two meals a day and some supplies. A little savings is enough for a family of three to eat in one day." A man wearing glasses in the corner spoke up.
"What? Li Wei, do you want to go?" Ma Huo, who was sitting nearby, asked after hearing it.
"I'm thinking a little bit, but my food can only last until tomorrow. I'll be hungry the day after tomorrow. I have to find a way." Thinking of this, Li Wei felt a headache.
"That's easy to think about. Then let me ask you, how do you get to the federal government?" Ma Huo showed a sarcastic expression.
"..." Li Wei did not answer, but just looked out the window silently. The once prosperous main city of Northeast District was empty, and half of the city was submerged in heavy rain.
…
"Let's go." In a room in the same community, two girls were lying together in the dark, and one of them suddenly said, "There is no food at home. If we continue to stay here, we will just wait for death. We might as well give it a try."
"Okay, I'll go hang up the banners now. I already have both red and orange clothes, so I'll hang up more so that the rescue team can see them." Although the other person was a little scared, he also agreed.
"Me too!"
The thirty-eighth day of doomsday.
At six o'clock in the morning, Qiao Qiao's family had finished washing and eating breakfast.
“Boom boom!”
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Uncle Qiao, Aunt Qiao, Qiao Qiao." Tang Zhijie greeted Tang Mingli. "I am now a staff member of the Special Management Bureau. Just give the donated materials to me. By the way, register the rescue personnel's information."
"good."
The five men then moved the supplies to the house opposite.
Qiao Qiao looked up and saw that the whole room was filled with cardboard boxes and snakeskin bags. It seemed that they had prepared a lot. But they were not 100% sure that they
I'm an internal tester of the Doomsday gacha system, but it's almost the same.
"Okay. Qiao A, Qiao Qiao, these are your bracelets, don't lose them. I'll come find you in half an hour and we'll report together." Tang Mingli handed over two black bracelets.
After clicking on the personal information, two lines of text appeared, the top one was Qiao Qiao, and the bottom one was Contribution Points: 0. The same was true for Qiao Huizhou.
"good."
"By the way, do you have your own boat?" Tang Zhijie asked.
Qiao Qiaowei: "Yes."
Tang Zhijie responded with a smile.
Back in the house, the three of them prepared to draw cards at this time!
Qiao Qiao has 5 chances, Qiao Xinghe has 6 chances, and Qiao Huizhou has 7 chances.
Although no one has accumulated enough ten consecutive draws, it is too dangerous to go out. If you are lucky enough to get an R-level card or SR-level card, you may be able to save your life.
Jojo drew five cards at level N each time.
[Congratulations on winning N-level card shampoo 500ml*1]
…
Like Qiao Xinghe, all six times he used N-level cards.
[Congratulations on winning N-level yogurt 200g*2]
…
Only Qiao Huizhou, although he did not have the SR-level card [European Emperor Possession] that triggered the ten-draw must produce an R-level card, he obtained two R-level cards by just drawing seven times.
[Congratulations on receiving the R-level card special lifebuoy × 1]
[Special lifebuoy: After use, you can float on the water regardless of any waves. It can be used for 2 hours a day, and the cooling time is 22 hours]
[Congratulations on getting 2 R-rated card walkie-talkies]
[Intercom: Only for use in the same city]
“…”
Qiao Qiao and Qiao Xinghe were speechless and just looked at her with pure envy.
"Is this possible?!" After a while, Qiao Qiao finally found the voice.
"Take it." Qiao Huizhou pretended not to notice their gaze and handed over a walkie-talkie and an unused R-level card special lifebuoy.
"You should use the lifebuoy." Qiao Xinghe hesitated and pushed it back.
"You guys can use it. I'm better at swimming than you are. Besides, Qiao Qiao and I have taken the Dali Fruit. Now we have better physical strength than you. You can use it with us, so we can feel more at ease."
Seeing that Qiao Xinghe still didn't want to accept it, he continued, "Actually, it doesn't matter who takes it. We are all together, so if anything happens, it will be in time to give it back."
"Yeah, Dad, just listen to my mom." Qiao Qiao also said.
"Okay." Qiao Xinghe had no choice but to accept it because she was so tough.
The intercom only had one channel, which could be used directly. Qiao Xinghe and Qiao Huizhou each had one, while Qiao Qiao discovered that the military-grade intercom that Li Chuxue gave her could actually connect to the system's channel.
Half past six.
The three members of the Qiao family put on life jackets, carried backpacks, and dragged the speedboat to the corridor.
The Tang brothers and sisters also happened to be carrying an inflatable boat out.
"I am also a rescue worker." Facing the puzzled looks of the three people from the Qiao family, Tang Zhijie explained.
The registration and departure points for the rescue workers were both at the federal building, so it was convenient for a few people to go there.
Looking at Tang Mingli's empty-handed outfit, it was completely certain that she was an internal tester of the Doomsday Card Drawing System, and the donated supplies should have been received in the backpack compartment.
Qiao Qiao didn't expect that she didn't hide this matter. After all, "the man is innocent but guilty of possessing the treasure."
If they have any bad intentions, the brother and sister might be in danger in the future.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to ask.
The Tang siblings drove a rubber boat, and the three members of the Qiao family drove a speedboat, and they started the engine and drove away directly.
After going out, Tang Mingli did not go directly to the federal government, but walked around three nearby communities, looking for red or orange signs.
Unfortunately, there were not many people in the nearby community who were willing to join the rescue team. Apart from them, there was only one boy and two girls who hung signs outside their windows. Fortunately, they were all in the same building.
In fact, it is understandable that after experiencing the two disasters of gray fog and heavy rain, people gradually lost confidence in the federation. Especially now that the floods are raging and the people are living in dire straits, only a few areas can see the presence of rescue teams.
It would be difficult to gather a large number of rescuers just by broadcasting, not to mention that only a few communities had people to pick them up, and most people had to find their own way to the Federation. In addition, some people joined the rescue team through connections.
In short, various reasons completely disrupted the plans of the federal top leaders.
