Chapter 816: Volcanic Eruption. The Shipping King Went to Qingshan Base?
Chu An stretched and looked at his watch. It was seven forty in the morning.
She got up, washed, held a toothbrush in her mouth, opened the curtains, and brushed her teeth while looking at the "scenery".
Affected by the volcanic ash, the entire city was covered in a thick layer of gray-yellow gauze, the sunlight was blocked, and the sky lost its former blueness.
The buildings on both sides of the street were also particularly dim. Some dust adhered to the windows, making the light hazy and blurred.
As I breathed, I could almost feel the volcanic ash particles rolling in my nose.
Chu An couldn't help but rub his nose, and his mood became heavy. The impact of volcanic ash not only affects the environment, but also creates an invisible sense of oppression for people.
Even though she had experienced two lives and had a somewhat cold temperament, she still felt this way, let alone others.
In the yard, some people were repairing the fence and some were patrolling. They had all changed into long sleeves and long pants, but after looking for a long time, there was no sign of Dachun.
Dachun is an interesting person. He is very loyal to Feng Zhuoyi, but he doesn't like to stay with Feng Zhuoyi. He prefers to be with his brothers. So Feng Zhuoyi often has to go out and find his men in person, and then assign Dachun tasks.
Chu An pulled the curtains again, went to the bathroom to rinse his mouth, then changed into going clothes and opened the door to go out. Just then, Gu Ye returned to the top floor after exercising.
He was wearing a loose-fitting sportswear with a towel draped around his neck. His exposed skin was healthy and shiny, and the muscles on his shoulders and arms were clearly defined and full of strength.
"Awake?" Gu Ye greeted with a smile.
It’s not that Chu An’s filter is thick, when the big dog smiles, it seems as if the whole world lights up.
"Hmm!" For once, Chu An felt his cheeks getting hot and he quickly looked away.
Gu Ye couldn't help but rub her hair, which was soft and smooth. "Wait for me, let's go downstairs to have breakfast together."
"Okay." Obedient An.
There is a gym in the basement of the villa. After getting the usage rights back, water and electricity are fully connected, just like a normal home.
Gu Ye quickly changed his clothes and took Guaiqiaoan downstairs to eat. Ye Hang was also there, he couldn't wait to come back when he had time last night.
"Xiao An, Xiao Ye." Ye Hang greeted.
He is older than Chu An and Gu Ye, so it is okay to call him that. But Chu An knows that if this kid asks her for something, he will call her Sister Xiao An.
She was in a good mood today and didn't care about these details.
Breakfast is usually eaten at a long table. Because everyone wakes up at different times, the food can only be prepared and placed on the table. Whoever wakes up can eat it. If it is too cold, it needs to be heated up.
"What happened to those dogs?" Gu Ye asked after giving Chu Ansheng the rice porridge.
"It's all burnt." Ye Hang said as he ate slurringly, a bit like a starving ghost reincarnated.
Where could they get white porridge, steamed buns and various delicious side dishes at the Security Bureau? Sometimes they couldn't even get hot rice balls.
He didn't want to leave after coming here for just one night. It was as if this place had not experienced the end of the world. His parents and great uncle had all gained weight.
Chu An and Gu Ye also concentrated on eating. After they finished eating, Ye Hang reminded them to pay attention to the people around them who kept animals.
The two of them were there on the day of the accident, and Ye Hang didn't say much.
"Why not post a notice on the official website?" Gu Ye asked.
"There is no solid evidence right now, and I don't want to cause panic." Ye Hang said helplessly.
"So you plan to just leave it alone?"
"Hey, the government and the Public Security Bureau are in a mess right now." He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Aren't the people from Beijing City coming soon? They are all waiting for people from above to make a decision. The old director can't say anything now."
"What if something happens again?"
"That can't be helped. The base commander is forcing us not to talk about it." Ye Hang sighed, "I heard from Captain Guo that they argued all afternoon yesterday and the old director even had high blood pressure."
Chu Bei's decision must have been instructed by someone, otherwise he would not have dared to act too recklessly before the election results were announced. Fortunately, it is the end of the world now, and few people keep pets.
"How's the evacuation going in the air-raid shelter?" Chu An changed the subject.
“Only one-tenth of the people have been relocated, mainly because it is difficult to resettle them. They can no longer live in their previous homes, and they cannot be placed in the suburbs or factories like the people from the outer cities. Even among those who have been relocated, many are still dissatisfied and think that the government treats people from the outer cities better than those from the inner cities.”
People transferred from other cities were thrown into the wilderness and dangerous areas. What is there to envy?
"How are the security guards from out of town?"
"They are all sleeping on the floor in our building. I can only say it's okay. The position has not been determined yet, but they may be assigned to manage people from other cities."
Chu An thought about asking Ye Hang to send some daily necessities and food to Chu Huan. As for Director Ye and Xia Shuguo, their treatment was definitely better than that of the captain and security guard.
The day passed peacefully. In the evening, Chu An received a call from Zhuona. Perhaps because the New Year was approaching, she sent out an animal madness warning in the group again.
The two of them chatted about this and that casually.
Currently, City C is developing steadily. Phases I and II have already enrolled 800,000 people, and preparations are underway for Phase III, which is expected to accommodate 3 million people.
"But now there is a shortage of supplies. The higher-ups want to divide the three-phase project into two phases. Oh, if only the shipping king hadn't left City C."
Chu An knew that during this period, all bases were competing for people, especially families that had made great contributions to the bases. The shipping king’s assets had reached tens of billions before the end of the world, and he would definitely be fought over by all parties.
In their previous life, they went to the Daming base together, and the shipping king seemed to have left as well. She didn’t know the specific reason.
"Which base did he go to?" Chu An asked casually.
"Qingshan Base, so it's not a loss. It's good to keep it within the family, hahaha."
Chu An became interested. Why would the shipping king go to the unknown Qingshan Base? His friendship with Li Qing would not force him to move, and she was sure that the shipping king had not been treated unfairly in City C.
"Director Wang didn't say anything, so he just left like that?"
"Then I don't know." Zhuona talked about something else, "By the way, Liu Shuang got married."
"Why are you so excited about someone getting married?"
"I'm not excited, I just find it incredible. She got divorced within three months of her marriage. It seems that it was because she didn't want a child and bought medicine to have an abortion secretly, but her husband found out."
Zhuona didn't know much about this matter. She no longer regarded Liu Shuang as a goal to be surpassed, so she naturally didn't pay attention to any news about her. Instead, other people often mentioned Liu Shuang to her.
The new target she wanted to surpass was their captain Niu Li. It was good to have a goal, but Chu An gave her four words: a long way to go.
Chu An also learned the specific reasons from Huo Sisi later.
Liu Shuang injured her arm and the doctor said she could no longer hold a bow and arrow, but she did not give up and continued to practice every day.
Originally this was a good thing, but over time, everyone discovered that her mental state was very unstable. She often used self-harm methods in training and eventually fainted and was hospitalized.
Liu Lao Hu thought his daughter was possessed by a demon, so after trying to persuade her to no avail, he confiscated her bow and arrows and locked her up in the house. He also advised her to find a good man to marry and live an ordinary life.
Liu Shuang couldn't resist Liu Lao Hu, so he obeyed Liu Lao Hu's wishes and got married, and then lied to Liu Lao Hu to give him a bow and arrow as a souvenir.
Liu Lao Hu thought she was really determined and agreed. But when she returned to her own home, relying on her husband's honesty, she began to practice unscrupulously again. But no one expected that in order to practice archery, she secretly bought medicine and killed her three-month-old baby, and also injured her body, making it difficult for her to get pregnant again.
Because of this miscarriage, her hands began to tremble and she could no longer hold a bow...
