Chapter 797: Volcanic Eruption. Return to the City
This time, a total of 100 people were transferred to the shelter where Chu An was located. In addition to Uncle Hu Zi, there were also some recognized "talents", including the family of four.
After everyone entered the first door, the second door was lowered and the space seemed a little crowded. Fortunately, the first door opened as soon as the second door fell.
The sunlight still failed to penetrate the clouds, and the entire city fell into darkness.
As far as the eye can see, volcanic ash covers everything, like a layer of cold armor, heavy and cruel. The original bright colors are wiped out, leaving only a gray area. Buildings, trees, vehicles... nothing is spared, and all have lost their original appearance in this disaster.
Two military trucks were parked at the entrance of the shelter, and the transfer personnel in protective clothing waved to them to get on the trucks.
Those who were looking around withdrew their gaze. No matter how hard they looked, the city would not be able to return to its original state in a short period of time. If there was another natural disaster, they would never be able to come back.
In fact, there was nothing to be nostalgic about. Their purpose of coming to the prosperous Tang Dynasty was to live in the inner city, but they did not expect that this wish would be realized in this way.
After the staff checked the number of people with Chu Huan, they waved and got in the car. The car started, bringing up a cloud of volcanic ash, passing through the narrow streets, bypassing the tall buildings and returning to calm.
Chu Huan waved everyone to go back. The heavy smell of volcanic ash outside was suffocating.
In fact, the disaster in the outer city of the prosperous Tang Dynasty was not the most serious. In history, there were many cities buried by volcanic magma and volcanic ash. They were just no longer suitable for human habitation, but at least the cities still existed.
Chu An placed a small spider outside to facilitate monitoring of the situation.
When everyone came back and took off their protective clothing, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Huan felt very uncomfortable when he saw the people waiting anxiously, but they really could do nothing.
As far as he knew, the production capacity of the inner city was more than 10,000 pieces/day, and the Sun family openly sold protective clothing and respiratory masks at high prices in the inner city. Fortunately, every time the trucks came to transfer, they would bring some food, so they would not be full but would not starve to death.
"I heard that the next batch will transport people with high contributions?" Suozi came over and asked.
"Yeah." Chu Huan responded indifferently.
At night, Director Ye asked for a count of the wounded. With his efforts, some of the wounded could be transported in the third batch. After hearing this news, everyone felt better.
Chu An felt that everyone was too depressed, so she decided to give them a good meal to relieve some of the pressure. She discussed with Mou Ci, took out flour and meat from the space, and decided to make pure meat and egg buns.
Of course, this is limited to soldiers, security guards and staff. It is unrealistic for hundreds of thousands of people to eat buns together.
Chu An handed the ingredients to the soldiers and left them alone. She and Gu Ye returned to the tent to prepare their own dinner.
As the shelter became stable, people no longer gathered at the entrances and exits. Soldiers were guarding workbench No. 1, and there was a large vacuum zone. As long as they didn't eat food with particularly strong odors, the smell wouldn't be able to pass through.
The two of them didn't want to make things too much trouble, so they ate dumplings instead of buns outside. Mou Ci and Chu Huan naturally came over and helped together.
If the tent wasn't too small, Guozi and the others would also like to come in. This place seems to be the only quiet area in the bustling city.
"Do you know how the people sent there were arranged?" Chu Huan suddenly asked Mou Ci.
They, the security guards, will eventually go to the inner city, but he has never been there, so he can't help but feel a little uneasy. Recently, his subordinates have often asked this question: Can they still be security guards? Where will they live in the future?
Mou Ci actually knew something. There were three places covered by fog in the northern area of the inner city. In order to prevent Lan Jin from hurting innocent people, all the people within a one-kilometer radius were evacuated.
The government is now settling some of the relocated people here. Why do we say some? Because many wealthy people use their points to buy houses, rent apartments, or stay in hotels. Even the poorest ones can pay a high price to live in ordinary people's homes.
In other words, as long as you have points, you won't suffer.
Apart from the Sun family's factory, the inner city is now the busiest, the government hall and the real estate exchange. As for those who can't afford to buy a house or pay the rent, they can only obey the government's arrangement and live next to the fog.
Chu Huan frowned, "Aren't those places dangerous areas?"
No one knows whether the fog will suddenly dissipate.
Mou Ci shook his head. He had no other choice. The rich area wouldn't let them enter, and they couldn't sleep on the streets and affect other people's lives. This was the only arrangement he could make.
"You don't have to worry, you will all be under the jurisdiction of the Inner City Security Bureau. The inner city is also short of people now." Mou Ci said.
Gu Ye also comforted him, "Since we can accept you into the Public Security Bureau, we will arrange accommodation for you."
Chu Huan doesn't worry about himself, as if one person is well fed the whole family will not be hungry, but many of his colleagues have families to support.
"I hope so." Chu Huan was still a little worried.
The inner city has also lost half of its land, so there is no need for so many security guards. I guess some of them will be fired.
"By the way, Xiao An, the little ones can be transferred today, so you don't have to worry."
Chu An nodded. Little Bit was not in her shelter, nor in the shelter managed by Ye Long. When they went to receive the mission that day, they followed the crowd into the shelter below the mission hall. Shen Xiangting and the others were all there.
"What about Chen Xiangting and the others?" Gu Ye asked.
"They'll have to wait a little longer, but don't worry, the atmosphere in that shelter is pretty good."
…
Half a month later, 90% of the people in the outer city had been relocated, and all the people in the government hall shelter and the mission hall shelter had been relocated. There were still 15,000 people left on the import and export side, excluding soldiers, security guards and some staff. All of them could be relocated in two times at most, and the large-scale migration of 150,000 people was about to end.
Mou Ci recalled all the troops, and with the addition of security guards, Chu An no longer worried about their safety. She was ready to follow the latest batch of troops back to the city, and the old director gave her a separate note.
There was no place for them on the transfer vehicle, and the driver didn't like them following, but these were not problems. The problem was that they were not allowed to pass through customs wearing their own protective clothing. The two felt helpless as they watched the transfer truck drive away.
"Do I have to buy Sun's protective clothing?" Gu Ye asked unhappily.
"Yes, your protective clothing level is not good enough, you can't pass." The staff member answered impatiently.
"Even if we fail, we are the ones who get hurt. What does it have to do with you?"
"Anyway... that's what it stipulates."
Chu An guessed that they were afraid that someone would buy protective clothing from other bases and damage the interests of the Sun family, but is it really a good thing to profit from a national disaster?
The two of them couldn't argue, so they had to trouble the old director again. It was true that as long as they were related to the Sun family, no good would come of it.
After the two were released, Gu Ye drove away angrily.
The weather in the inner city was more like a severe sandstorm, and the cola-colored sky was particularly depressing.
There were basically no pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, one or two staff members could be seen wearing Sun family protective clothing.
The two first went to the air-raid shelter where Lao Chu was, but were blocked from entering by people around them.
They went to the Public Security Bureau again, ready to find Cui Liang or Guo Jingyan to ask about the situation. Perhaps Lao Chu and the others had already come out.
As it turned out, both of them were on a mission, and even Ye Hang was not there. Fortunately, they met Da Jun who had just returned from handling a theft case, and it was Da Jun who recognized their car first.
I learned from Dajun that a week ago, the air raid shelter only distributed food once a day, and encouraged the people to buy their own protective clothing and breathing masks. Those who really couldn't afford it had to wait until the government evacuated the people from the outer city.
Chu An, Gu Ye, "..."
It is obvious that they are using the people from the outer city as an excuse, and there will be more conflicts between the people from the inner and outer cities in the future.
Da Jun took them to the neighborhood committee and easily got a letter of introduction to pick them up. The neighborhood committee hoped that as many people as possible could go out, as they really didn't have much food left.
