Chapter 463: Beast Disaster. Garbage Dump
When Chu An came, Liu Xiaohan went to work and was not at home.
Meilin took them to find Liu Xiaohan and to see He Xun as well.
On the way, Meilin mentioned what happened in the previous three months.
After Chu An left, Duoduo fell ill, and Li Qing kept running back and forth between Xiwan and City C. When Duoduo got better, they began to expand the market and find buyers, and everything went smoothly.
"I have been in Xiwan and I don't know much about what happened here, but one day I heard that someone attacked the villa and several people died. By the way, He Xun and Xiao Han happened to be in City C at the time, and He Xun was beaten into a vegetable in order to save Xiao Han.
You also know that Changyuan values brotherhood the most, so he immediately took us back to City C. It was a coincidence that not long after we came back, a tsunami hit Xiwan, and everything... ceased to exist. "
"Then you are really lucky!" Wang Guan knew the power of the tsunami. There were less than a thousand people alive in Xiwan.
"Are you lucky?" Meilin didn't show an expression of surviving a disaster. Instead, she let out a long sigh. "At that time, there was no need to send out ships. The canned goods were almost all produced. Normally, it would be fine for us all to come to City C, but Changyuan was worried that someone would do something at the dock, so he asked Big Nose and a few brothers to stay. Bo Zai and his sister also took the initiative to stay..."
Chu An has never wanted to think about this matter. Even if they all come back, there are still those people in the fishing village!
"The incident in Xiwan and the attack on the villa dealt a heavy blow to Li Qing. Duoduo's illness worsened at that time. In short... nothing went well. Then suddenly one day, the joint defense team surrounded us and took away Li Qing, Gangzi, and Jinli, charging us with murder.
Later I learned that the family of a big shot at the base had died. They were detained for seven days, and Shen Changyuan began to lobby for them. He began to hear that Li Qing was going to be executed and Gangzi and Jinli were going to be exiled.
It was also at that time that I started to quarrel with Changyuan. I felt that the situation was irreversible and advised Changyuan to give up. Changyuan refused and begged for gifts from people everywhere. "
She paused here and asked Chu An, "Will you hate me?"
"I didn't show up when they needed me, so I have no right to hate you." Chu An said, "At least you fought with him."
"You are really unique." Meilin sighed and continued, "By the way, Minister Yin and an old policeman were also helping out.
We spent seven days in fear, and then the three of them suddenly returned safe and sound.
I remember it clearly, it was already 7pm and it was getting dark. The first thing they did when they came back was to pack up and prepare to leave. I was panicking, I had no idea what was going on, and I had another big fight with Shen Changyuan.
Later, Li Qing found me and said that if I didn’t want to leave, he could find a way to send me to the base.
Liu Xiaohan has chosen to stay to take care of He Xun, and I can also stay at the base like them. However, I only have one night to think about it, as they will set off early tomorrow morning.
I knew that Shen Changyuan wanted to follow Li Qing, and I didn't want to live a life of displacement. Well, Changyuan and I talked and quarreled all night, and the next morning we were both hoarse and could hardly speak.
But in the end, neither of us compromised for the other, so we broke up peacefully."
Chu An learned some more about what happened from her and roughly pieced together what happened in the past three months. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Would it be different if she was there?
"The importance we have for each other is not enough to change for each other." Meilin talked about the breakup very frankly, "But no matter where we go, we will remember each other."
Chu An likes people who are free and easy, "You will be happy."
"Thanks."
She almost knew everything she wanted to know, and didn't want Meilin to keep recalling the past, so she changed the subject and asked, "Have you joined Hongying as well?"
"Yes, but I'm not a formal member of the team. I'm still in the probation period."
Meilin talked about some of the training at Hongying, and as the three of them talked, they came to a building.
Why is it called a building? Because it is just a three-story prefabricated steel house. The windows are round holes with no glass, and there is no sign or plaque at the door.
In addition to the direction they came from, there were various garbage mountains on the left, right, and back, with transport trucks bringing in and out from time to time.
"She works here?" Wang Guan seemed to know this place, with confusion in his eyes. It was obviously not a good place.
"When we're not training, we all work here," Meilin replied.
"Didn't you join Hongying? The food and points you get from going on missions with them are much better than what you get here!"
"We haven't passed the exam yet, so we can only work here. Besides, Hongying won't keep idle people."
Chu An heard from Gu Ye that Meilin was good at fighting, so she shouldn't have failed the exam. Could she be waiting for Liu Xiaohan?
Getting closer, Chu An smelled an indescribable mixed sour odor, like a mixture of all the unpleasant smells such as rotten meat, feces, blood, gasoline, etc.
She couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose, and the same went for the crown.
On the other hand, Meilin was very calm, as if these smells did not exist, and continued to lead the way.
"Xiao An, wait for a while at the door. I'll go call her. But don't talk for too long, otherwise all your work today will be in vain."
After Meilin finished speaking, she looked at Chuan and found that she was staring at the scene in front of her without any reaction.
"Xiao An?" she called tentatively.
"Since we can't waste time, let's go there together." After Chu An said this, he walked inside.
"Ah——" Meilin didn't expect her to go in directly. The factory was full of garbage and most people wouldn't want to come in. Wang Guan hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
"Xiao An, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. We don't have any special skills and we can't just live off our savings, so we can only work locally." Meilin explained.
There's nothing to laugh at. She worked here for four months in her previous life.
Meilin walked to the open iron gate, lifted the plastic curtain at the door with one hand, and invited Chu An and Wang Guan to come in.
The two walked in one after the other. The smell inside was even heavier, as if it was attacking their bodies with substance. She stopped and looked around.
The entire third floor was actually one space, without any partitions or divisions, and no large machinery or equipment. There were only countless piles of garbage, some four or five meters high, and some about two meters high. A rough glance showed that there were at least hundreds of piles.
Most of the people here have numb expressions, only their eyes and hands are moving constantly.
They either worked in teams or sorted by themselves, all sitting around the garbage heap. Those who were in a better situation sat on small stools, while others used cardboard as cushions or sat directly on the ground.
Everyone has a cart and a sack. Usable things are put into the cart, and real garbage is put into the sack.
