Chapter 792: Volcanic Eruption. Asking for Help
She conveyed her analysis to Zhuo Hao through Mou Ci. It was not that she did not trust the old director. After all, he was one of the candidates for the imperial examination and was not suitable to get involved in this matter.
"Brother, you must protect the second and fourth sisters." Chu An was a little worried about their current safety. They were the breakthrough points.
She would not feel at ease even if she left Sheng Tang unless she eradicated the Blue Gold Society.
"I'll call the inner city right now."
"Wait, have you found out about the family of four that had a quarrel a few days ago?"
"Yeah, they are indeed a great family."
The family's surname is Wu. The old couple Wu are the leaders of domestic physics, specializing in electromagnetism. Their son has inherited his father's business and has made a name for himself both at home and abroad before the end of the world. The daughter-in-law is his son's graduate school classmate and is also an expert in electromagnetism.
The research directions of the family members are different. Mr. Wu and his son study electromagnetism and energy conversion, which can promote the development and utilization of energy and act on hydropower stations, wind power generation, and solar cells.
The old lady specializes in communication technology, using electromagnetic waves to transmit information, which is used in radio, satellite communications, television and the Internet.
My daughter-in-law specializes in healthcare and entertainment, and her research results can be used in medical electronic equipment, magnetic resonance imaging, audio and video, and games.
Also because the whole family is willing to stay in the laboratory, they had grandchildren late. The little girl is only five years old, and her parents are already over 40.
Originally they were on the talent protection list, but all the members of the team that rescued them died, and everyone in the car had to find their own way out.
Thanks to the blessing of the old man when he was young, his family met many noble people, and with the help of everyone and their own efforts, they all survived. They heard that the prosperous Tang Dynasty was good, so they decided to settle here. As a result, they encountered a car accident on the way here for the first time. The old man was unfortunately killed and the old lady's legs were disabled. They had to return, and after the old lady's body stabilized, they walked here again.
Chu An felt that they were extraordinary the first time he saw them. They were really a powerful family.
She asked Mou Ci to protect these people, as the future development of the prosperous Tang Dynasty could not do without these talents.
"Don't worry, the list was sent to the inner city yesterday, and we received approval this morning. All of them can be granted inner city residence permits."
"List?" Chu An raised his eyebrows. No wonder he pulled me to sort out these people's aspirations yesterday. It turned out he had this plan. "Then..."
"The uncle with the beard you mentioned is also on the list."
Chu An felt relieved, thinking that he had finally repaid the debt of gratitude for saving his life in his previous life.
"Captain Xiaoan and Xiaoye, come out for dinner." Guozi greeted them from outside.
Today is the fourth day of being trapped. A small number of people have already finished the dry food they brought with them, mainly because they don’t have much food on a normal day.
The shelter started distributing food yesterday, with a daily limit of three steamed buns, three pickles, two solid savory rice balls, or three bags of biscuits per person, distributed in rotation, plus 300 ml of water.
Except for the biscuits, everything else is freshly made. The food storage area is heavily guarded and no one is allowed to approach.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Gu Ye replied for both of them. Chu Huan, who was catching up on his sleep, was woken up by the noise and opened his eyes with squinted eyes. "What's wrong? What happened?"
There are more and more people causing trouble these days, and soothing music is of no use. Chu Huan has solved ten disputes in a row and has not slept for nearly twenty hours. He was forced to come here to rest by Suozi.
Suozi felt that only Chu An could suppress him.
"Nothing happened, you can sleep a little longer." Gu Ye looked at his watch. He had only slept for two hours. "If you are hungry, you can get up and eat something before going back to sleep."
Chu Huan covered his head and lay back down, "Then I won't eat. I'll sleep for a while."
There are six sleeping bags here. Except for Chu An and Gu Ye’s, anyone can rest in the other four.
Chu An pretended to take something out of her bag, but actually took out a box of milk from the space. Chu Huan didn't know her situation, so he would be more careful in front of him.
"This is for you, drink it before you go to sleep."
Chu Huan turned around and was not surprised to see the milk. He had eaten a bowl of bird's nest and white fungus porridge yesterday. He didn't ask where it came from, as long as it tasted good.
"Thank you."
Chu An, Gu Ye and Mou Ci came out of the tent. In order not to arouse suspicion, they came out every day to have a meal with everyone.
Soldiers eat the same amount as civilians, but they have to patrol and stand guard with the police, unlike civilians who lie down after eating, so their energy consumption is completely different.
With the help of Mou Ci, Chu An provided them with boiled corn, braised eggs, braised beef and various meatballs, which were distributed every night, one to avoid people, and the other to prevent them from going to bed hungry.
These days the soldiers have been looking forward to the arrival of night, so that they can not only eat their fill but also satisfy their cravings. Mou Ci has also transformed from the god of war in the army to the god of food, and has received even more worship.
On the seventh day of being trapped, the quarrels and disputes gradually decreased, and Chu Huan's dark circles finally faded a little.
The people had basically eaten up the food they brought with them, and there was nothing left to cheat or steal. If they wanted to avoid starvation, they had to rely on the government, and the government's prestige was gradually increasing.
On the tenth day of being trapped, Chu An received bad news early in the morning. The fourth girl was dead and the second brother was seriously injured and unconscious. He was in Sheng Tang Hospital and had been transferred to the military for custody.
"Sure enough, there are still people from the Blue and Gold Society inside." Mou Ci said angrily.
It was dark outside and I couldn't go back no matter how angry I was.
On the twelfth day of being trapped, Chu Huan received a call for help from the shelter in the Government Affairs Hall. The food distribution center was hit by a riot and looting. Although it was suppressed, many security guards and staff were injured. Fearing a second riot, they were short of manpower, so they called for support.
Chu Huan only brought three teams, a total of 36 people, and the other two shelters each had to have more than 500 security guards. Ye Long asked him for support, just to get Mou Ci to lend a hand.
Mou Ci couldn't make the decision alone, so he immediately called the head of a regiment.
Chu Huan understood that a soldier has his own responsibilities, and helping him maintain stability was already his duty. Ye Long had only given him 36 men at the beginning because he was sure that Mou Ci would not stand idly by.
Mou Ci quickly got the agreement from the head of the regiment, "I'll give you 50 men, with sufficient weapons and ammunition."
The regiment commander had also led Mou Ci before and knew him well. Besides, the discord between the military and the government in Sheng Tang was a problem of the upper echelons and had nothing to do with them. Besides, many of the soldiers' families were also in Sheng Tang, so how could they let their relatives get hurt?
"Thank you." Chu Huan thanked him solemnly.
"How are you going to get through? There's no way out outside." Mou Ci asked.
"Don't worry about this." Seeing that everyone around him was his own people, Chu Huan said bluntly, "There is a secret passage. I'll draw a map for you later."
"A current painting?"
"Ah, Director Ye only gave me an hour to look at the map. This is top secret, so we can't give everyone a map."
"Okay. I can recommend Gu Ye to help you draw, if you trust him."
Mou Ci knew that Gu Ye had a great talent for painting.
Chu Huan agreed immediately, as he was still very confident in Chu An and Gu Ye. Moreover, he didn't know what the outer city would look like, so asking Gu Ye to draw a map was like telling them about the underground passage in disguise, just to give them peace of mind.
If he remembered correctly, there was an inactive shelter underground in the outer city, which contained food and water for 50,000 people to survive for a year.
When he described the map to Gu Ye, he also added this location.
