Chapter 135: Return
"If you want to go back, you have to wait for three days. After three days, the mission vehicle will arrive here and take you back first. How about that..."
"During these three days, the medicines in the camp will be used on you first, so you don't have to worry at all."
He calmed the crowd on the stage, and soon everyone calmed down, but three days was too long.
Medical care is limited here, and each of them is afraid that once the three days are up, the corrosion on their bodies will worsen.
At noon, in order to calm everyone down, medical staff began to clean everyone's wounds with anti-inflammatory and disinfectant water.
They carried medical kits and went from tent to tent to provide treatment.
The areas corroded by volcanic ash will be extremely itchy, but if you scratch them, they will corrode faster.
The survivors who were most severely corroded by the volcanic ash were the people who were mining with their bare hands. They took all the protective measures except wearing gloves.
Mining every day, with ten fingers soaked in volcanic ash every day, Xiang Yu saw with his own eyes a man mining with his bare hands next to him.
He suddenly started scratching, his left hand scratching his right hand, then his right hand scratching his left hand. After only a few minutes, the skin on the back of his hand was scratched off.
Revealing the pulsating meridians on the back of the hand.
He was so frightened that he jumped and screamed, and the people around him were also frightened by him.
While having dinner in the evening, Xiang Yu looked at the three people remaining in the tent: her, Yan Xiuying, and a fully armed uncle.
The uncle, like Yan Xiuying, also tied his pants around his neck.
The short sleeves were removed and the gloves were reinforced.
Because the tent was opened and closed many times in the past few days, and there were too many people coming in and out, a lot of volcanic ash floated into the tent, and several people had to wear masks and glasses when they slept at night.
Fifteen days, thirteen days have passed so far, and there are two days left, but the number of survivors going to work is decreasing.
On the morning of the fifteenth day, when Xiang Yu appeared in the tunnel with tools, he appeared in the tunnel at the same time as himself.
She was a woman in her forties. The back of her hands had been corroded by volcanic ash, but she still persisted and insisted on completing the fifteen-day task.
On the last day, their superiors no longer pursued whether they had completed their mission or not, and the survivors were allowed to move freely that day.
Many people chose to have a good rest in the tents as they did not want to continue to be exposed to volcanic ash.
There were only two people left in the tunnel. The older sister was digging very vigorously, perhaps because she thought about the state her hands had become.
It would be better to dig more ore and try to earn more reward contribution points.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the mission vehicle finally arrived. Everyone had already climbed up the iron stairs at four o'clock and, led by the patrol captain, stood by the crater waiting for the vehicle.
Almost all the survivors who came to participate in the mission fifteen days ago got on the bus this time. Only a few of them were not infected by the volcanic ash.
Yan Xiuying followed Xiang Yu, and the two of them got on the last truck.
At the end of the mission, the patrol team also calculated reward contribution points for everyone based on the total amount of ore each person had recently dug in the tunnel.
Give them corresponding contribution points, but the contribution points will remain on the day you start to rest, and they will not suffer any loss.
Xiang Yu's initial mission contribution points are 3,500, plus the total number of ores handed in every day, he can only get more than 200 reward contribution points.
That's because most of the ores were hidden in the space by her. In the later period when there was no one around, she basically replaced all the tools with her own.
Her efficiency has also improved a lot. She only gives away one piece out of every five pieces she digs.
Yan Xiuying's mission contribution points are much higher, more than 5,000 in total, 3,500 initial contribution points, plus she works very hard in mining every day.
Basically, the contribution points of survivors who hold on until the last day without slacking off are within this value.
Sitting in the back car, after coming out of the pit, everyone smelled the fresh air outside and felt extremely comfortable, "We are alive..."
They left, but the testing experts below did not leave. They changed into the newly delivered protective clothing and continued to survey at the bottom of the pit.
Sitting in the car on the way back, Xiang Yu looked at the world shrouded in gray smoke and dust. It had been three months since the volcanic eruption, and it would take another half a year for it to completely dissipate.
Because there was an active volcano erupting near Mount Luyun, the route became more detour and the journey back was originally supposed to take two days.
It took four days to get there.
Yan Xiuying's food had been stolen by the young man before, so she had been eating sparingly recently and had already finished it.
On the way back, she started to feel hungry the next day.
At night, Xiang Yu saw that she was still staring at him, "Go ask the patrol captain. Use your contribution points to exchange for food. He should give you..."
"Really? I'll go ask..."
Yan Xiuying was also extremely hungry, and during her break she went straight to the patrol team leader, whose neck was also corroded by the volcanic ash.
His upper body was wrapped in bandages, and he looked miserable.
