Chapter 341 Earthquake. Lian Po is old
Guo Feng thought that another person had come to cut in line, but after listening to his subordinates' report, his eyes lit up. Chu An's rescue of Wang Guan had spread throughout the joint defense team, and everyone was grateful to her.
"Hello." Guofeng saluted her with a standard military salute.
Chu An felt that he had more of a military temperament, and he should have been a member of the armed police or local forces. "Hello, I have my own plane, can you arrange for us to go out first?"
Guo Feng glanced at the people in line, hesitated and said, "After these two groups leave, I will arrange for you to go to the rooftop. You can come here and wait first."
After saying that, afraid that Chu An might not understand, he added, "I promise to let you leave in half an hour at the latest. As you can see, some people here are difficult to coordinate. The next group to leave is Mr. Wang Xuchu's family."
Chu An had never heard of Wang Xuchu, but Li Qing's eyes widened. He was very familiar with this name, Wang Xuchu\\u003dShipping King.
"Excuse me, who in the Wang family is sick and where is the person?" Li Qing asked hurriedly.
Guo Feng pointed to a place not far from Director Wang and said, "Over there is his wife, but he is not here. His brother and a caregiver are accompanying Mrs. Wang."
Li Qing did not ask any more questions. Guofeng knew that they also had patients, so he cleared a space near the exit and asked them to move the beds there to facilitate evacuation.
Chu An had a good impression of Guo Feng and agreed to his arrangement. Before leaving, he suddenly asked, "When will Director Wang leave?"
When Guo Feng heard the name, a trace of sadness instantly appeared in his eyes, "Director Wang...Director Wang said he would wait until the end."
Chu An nodded, but did not go back with Li Qing. She wanted to see the stubborn old man. When they first met in the late period of the rainstorm, the old director left a deep impression on her. Er... it was definitely not because of the flamethrower.
Director Wang's bed was in the central area. When she walked over, he was wiping the sweat off the person in the bed next to him. He held the bed with one hand and a towel with the other, which was a bit strenuous. The end of the world was indeed not very friendly to the elderly.
Chu An walked closer and found that the person he was taking care of was also an old man. He was wearing an oxygen mask, his eyes were closed, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead that he had just wiped. He seemed to be in great pain.
Before Chu An could speak, Director Wang suddenly looked over and their eyes met.
She saw more clearly a tired and old face, with eyelids drooping down, partially covering the eyes, making him look a little sleepy.
Her heart trembled, and her eyes, which were once sharp, sophisticated and full of spirit, had become dull.
I also knew some things about the base through Yin Tianlin. The new base chief tried every means to seize power, formulated many new policies for the joint defense team, and was very unfriendly to several of their elders. Their power was basically hollowed out, and they would also arrange some tasks that could not be completed at all.
"Chu-an?"
Director Wang spoke first, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.
"Yes, it's me." Chu An stood in front of him and responded with a faint smile.
Director Wang looked her up and down. She was taller than before, and her appearance had also matured, like a beautiful young lady. She was also dressed very neatly. I'm afraid there wouldn't be such a clean and pretty girl in the entire base. The end of the world didn't seem to have brought her any harm.
"Why are you here? Are you sick?"
"I came to visit a friend, and then..." She shrugged, and was so unlucky to encounter the earthquake in advance.
Director Wang wanted to say something, but he caught a glimpse of the old man next to him opening his eyes, and he quickly leaned over.
He first helped the old man wipe the sweat off his face. The hands that once held a gun now had loose skin and bulging blood vessels, as if they could be easily crushed.
After wiping the sweat off his face, he put his ear close to the old man's opening and closing mouth, listened for a while, and nodded, "I understand, I understand everything, just focus on your treatment and don't think about anything else.
The world today is no longer the world we know, and it no longer needs us."
He spoke very sadly, then took out a small half bottle of water from under the bed, poured a little into the bottle cap, and carefully fed it to the old man. After supervising him to drink it, he licked his chapped lips, but was reluctant to drink it, so he put it back under the bed.
After doing all this, Director Wang sat back on his hospital bed without saying a word, like a traveler who had lost his sense of direction, not knowing how long the road ahead was.
Chu An finally understood why his heart was trembling just now. Lian Po was old, and even if he wanted to serve the country, he had no way to do so. Besides, his body was now broken by torture.
There are few spring days in a year, but there are many old age days in a hundred years.
People live for most of their lives, even if they live for a hundred years, and their time is mostly in old age. Society is eliminating the elderly, and the end of the world is eliminating the elderly.
She thought of Lao Chu again. Will he be eliminated too?
"Oh, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Director Wang came to his senses and smiled bitterly.
Chu An took out four cartons of milk from the Little Bee schoolbag and placed them on the bed. "Come with me in a helicopter later."
Director Wang was surprised at first by the milk, then he immediately raised his eyelids when he heard about the helicopter.
"I also know an old Chinese doctor who can help you regulate your body."
Director Wang was surprised for three times. Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, he frowned again, "I can't compete with young people for the chance to save his life. If it's your turn, leave. Director Li and I have already wasted a lot of medical supplies. It's not worth saving him at this age. If I can get out, I will take him home and take care of him. I won't treat him anymore."
Chu An knew that he had misunderstood. She was not good at persuading people, so she said directly, "The helicopter is mine. It has nothing to do with the base. If you don't take it, I won't take anyone else away."
Director Wang was shocked for the fourth time, and his cloudy eyes gradually revealed a glimmer of his former brilliance. He knew that the girl in front of him was not simple, he knew it during the riot in the police station, but he didn't expect that she could get a helicopter in the end times.
"Director Wang, I don't know much about the base, and I don't want to get involved. But are you really going to... hand it over to someone else? You think you are wasting medical resources, but aren't those noisy and selfish people just now also a waste? And those people."
Chu An turned his gaze to the rich people on the right who were waiting to be evacuated. Some of them were jumping in anxiety, some were pacing back and forth, and some were quietly stuffing things into the joint defense team members.
"It's not you who shouldn't live. On the contrary, you should get better quickly so that you can fight them."
It has been a long time since he heard such inspiring words. Director Wang slowly clenched his wrinkled hands that once held a glorious history.
He could tolerate Lian Yi taking away his and Lao Li's rights, but he could not tolerate him persecuting Zhang Zhao and Niu Li, breaking up the joint defense team, and trying to establish his own armed forces.
"Girl, let me think about it."
Chu An likes smart people very much, and he feels that there is still a straight spine in Director Wang's hunched body, which is why he said so much.
"Director Wang, even if you don't want to fight for power, you should still consider Captain Niu. I'm afraid today's rescue has angered some people."
When she heard the gunshots, she knew that Niu Li was going to be in trouble. Looking at the evacuation layout here, the right side was noisy, but the left side was very smooth. Dividing people into two groups was probably a special arrangement by Niu Li.
