"We're running low on supplies. People outside can't get in, and we can't even drop off food," Song Mai said helplessly, but her expression froze after she finished speaking.
She turned to look at Chu Xing with a look of astonishment, and then realized what the problem was.
"Does the fact that your plane landed safely mean that helicopters can enter the disaster area?"
Everyone present wore complex expressions upon hearing these words.
"Yes."
Although the landing was a bit risky, there would be absolutely no problem dropping supplies.
The disaster area is in dire need of supplies, but people outside are repeatedly finding other excuses, indicating that they never intended to provide aid from the very beginning.
Song Mai was furious and immediately went to find Fuxi, who was busy nearby.
"What's going on with your company? Didn't you agree to deliver supplies together with the government?"
Completely out of sorts, Fauci asked in bewilderment, "What happened?"
Seeing that Song Mai's emotions were fluctuating greatly, he immediately began to describe what had just happened.
Fauci also realized the seriousness of the problem, his expression turned serious, and his tone became colder.
"If that's really the case, I will definitely not let them off easily."
That being said, the most important thing right now is how to get through this difficult time.
Time waits for no one, and we cannot afford to wait any longer.
"What should we do now?" Fauci was also panicked.
We thought we would finally receive the supplies, but this happened instead.
“Keep contacting the people delivering supplies and tell them that helicopters can also be used for delivery. I’m trying to calm the others down and find more food. Can you help us contact the local government to see if there’s any way to relocate them?” The last sentence was what Song Mai said to his assistant, Lu.
She didn't know the man in front of her, but when she thought that he was Chu Xing's capable assistant, she took advantage of his connections.
Chu Xing watched as she assigned tasks with a shocked expression; the charm she exuded was beyond words.
Perhaps Song Mai has always been a courageous and resourceful person, but the previous environment prevented her from showing her strengths.
"And what about me?"
Chu Xing stared intently at Song Mai, his gaze never leaving him.
"You and I will work together to calm everyone down, and also take care of those who have difficulty moving around."
These words made Chu Xing frown.
He was a pampered young lady and had never been in a situation where he needed to take care of others.
However, the current situation is critical, leaving him no room for choice.
Upon entering the tent, Chu Xing noticed everyone staring at him curiously, and instinctively turned to look at Song Mai.
“They meant no harm; they were just bored and curious about strangers. The people here are the first refugees, and they haven’t received any help for so long. Apart from the initial tents and supplies, they seem to have been forgotten.” Song Mai sighed helplessly.
Although she understands that everyone has their own difficulties, and that relevant departments may not be able to spare the time, the most basic supplies and survival guarantees must not be lacking in any way; this is the bottom line for any refugee.
The little girl handing out candy asked timidly, "Sister, will we never have enough to eat again?"
These words made Song Mai feel a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously looked at her and said in a low voice, "How could that be? Someone will come to bring us food soon."
Even Song Mai herself couldn't believe what she was saying, but looking into the girl's watery eyes, she couldn't bear to tell her the current situation.
At this moment, an older man slowly approached them and said in a low voice, "Maizi, may I have a private talk with you?"
After spending some time with him, Song Mai realized that this older man held a certain status in the area. Many people there trusted his words and treated him with great respect.
The group arrived at a secluded spot. The old man turned his head warily, and after making sure no one was following, he looked at Song Mai with a pleading expression.
“I know you all mean well, but supplies aren’t coming in, and food is dwindling. We all know that all we can do now is wait to die. You are our saviors, but your abilities are ultimately limited.” The old man took a deep breath and said softly, “If you really want to help us, then don’t give us old folks any more food.”
"How can this be? The food has already been distributed. We can't let anyone go hungry," Song Mai said anxiously. He didn't want to see anyone sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.
The old man shook his head wearily and said in a low voice, "So much time has passed, and we still haven't received any supplies. We know perfectly well that. Our children are our future. As long as they are alive and well, there is hope."
Chu Xing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up at this moment, saying in a low voice, "No, we will absolutely not abandon anyone, please rest assured."
"But what's the point of doing this if everyone just waits to die?" The old man's eyes were filled with tears, but at this moment he could only stubbornly continue to speak.
Song Mai immediately reassured her, "It's alright, the company will also provide supplies. I just received news that the supplies are on their way and will arrive here soon."
Is this really true?
The old man looked at her with a joyful expression, his eyes full of anticipation.
In fact, Song Mai said these words to comfort the elderly. She couldn't contact the company, so she couldn't tell them what was happening.
What was said unintentionally may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Chu Xing silently noted down what she had said and met with Assistant Lu when no one was paying attention.
"You need to find a way to contact people back home immediately and send some supplies over as soon as possible. Also, have Shen Que contact the other company. If their character is so bad, there's no need to continue cooperating with them."
Chu Xing would never cooperate with companies of questionable character, even if the charity project could bring the company a lot of benefits, Chu Xing would never abandon his bottom line.
Assistant Lu's expression was serious, understanding the gravity of the situation.
The moment Chu Xing turned around, he suddenly saw Ji Feng walking towards him from a distance, looking anxious.
He quickly noticed Chu Xing's figure and instinctively widened his eyes: "Master Yun, what brings you here?"
"I haven't received a reply from here, so I came to take a look."
Such an answer was too far-fetched, and Ji Fenghe naturally wouldn't believe it easily. He turned his head with some curiosity to look at Song Mai walking over not far away, and a thought began to ferment in his mind.
Worried that Song Mai would discover his identity, Chu Xing lowered his voice and said, "Come with me."
