They were busy until dark, and no new supplies were received. There was no light in Muke Village at night, so all search and rescue activities had to be stopped.
The food and water brought in by Chu Beichen's team had already been distributed to the survivors. Fortunately, the Krupp rescue team brought in a lot more, otherwise everyone would have run out of food soon.
Everyone sat together in a circle, resisting the cold night wind. "These are all we have," old Krupp asked his men to distribute the remaining food to everyone.
All Su Nian got was a piece of compressed biscuit and half a bottle of water. She was so hungry that she had lost consciousness. After drinking a sip of water, she looked around and saw that no one had anything in their hands. She thought for a moment and secretly stuffed the biscuit to Chu Beichen.
"You eat," Su Nian whispered. Chu Beichen is a man and consumes a lot of physical energy.
Chu Beichen was stunned. He only now realized that Su Nian had not slept the whole night before and had walked all night along the path he had explored. She had also been rescuing the wounded non-stop during the day. How could she not be hungry?
Looking at Su Nian's haggard face, Chu Beichen forced a smile and pushed her hand back, "Don't give it to me, I have one too!"
At this moment, Chu Beichen's satellite phone rang. He picked it up immediately. After answering a few yeses, he hung up and waved to his men, "Come with me to light some fires. There are planes dropping supplies!"
That’s great! Everyone was starving, and when they heard that there were supplies, they became more energized.
Chu Beichen quickly took his men and lit three bonfires near the helipad, then quickly left.
The helipad was ready during the day today, but visibility was too low for helicopters to land, so the headquarters came up with this idea to drop supplies directly by air at night.
After a while, the roar of an airplane was heard in the night sky. After circling a few times, the plane dropped bag after bag of supplies near the fire.
After the airdrop was over, everyone rushed to recover the supplies. After a long time of hustle and bustle, they only found half of the supplies. However, this could solve the urgent problem!
The supplies mainly include food, medicine, drinking water, cold-proof clothing and tents.
Chu Beichen and his men allocated tents to the weak and elderly people first. As for the young and middle-aged people, they had to wait for the next wave of supplies.
However, there was sufficient food supply. After everyone finished their work, Daha had heated a lot of drinking water with solid alcohol fuel, and his iron pot finally came in handy.
The ground was still shaking occasionally, but people didn't care. They lined up to wait for water. Those who got hot water stood aside with their cups in hand, feeling a little happy. The warmth in their hands was like the warmth of the world, making everyone greedy. No matter what, as long as they could survive!
Chu Beichen finally sat down next to Su Nian, and the two of them shared a cup of hot water in small sips. "This is the first time I've felt that water tastes so good!" Su Nian said with a smile.
Chu Beichen pushed the cup to Su Nian seriously, "Drink more!"
"Haha, that's enough. I'm not a water buffalo!" Su Nian insisted that Chu Beichen drink water.
Old Krupp sat not far away, holding his chin and secretly watching the young people's love. "Oh, this reminds me of my youth!"
Duan Jinhu didn't understand English. He glanced at old Krupp and ate his bread. After all, this thing tasted better than compressed biscuits. "What are you talking about?" Duan Jinhu asked even though he didn't understand.
Tang Xin translated for the two of them with a smile, and the three of them were talking quite lively.
