It is rare to see such great enthusiasm among the people.
Similar inquiries and requests filled various channels, and some people even drove to designated hospitals on their own initiative to ask if they needed help transporting unconscious players.
Upon seeing this, the highest authority, out of consideration for the current situation, approved Wang Teng and others to arrange this matter at their discretion.
The hospital's resources were indeed limited. With the approval of the higher-ups, Wang Teng immediately asked the medical team representatives to adjust the current rescue plan.
Soon, the medical team began recruiting volunteers.
The main task is to visit and investigate each household, look for any trapped players who have not yet been discovered, and be responsible for transferring them to designated hospitals.
All volunteers are clearly registered in the system, and any violation of regulations will immediately result in the immediate cancellation of their support qualifications. If they continue to perform well, the country will also give corresponding rewards after the event is over.
This channel allows the public to express their concerns well without causing any major disturbances. For quite some time in the country, everyone has been discussing how many trapped players were found today and how many were sent to the hospital.
The hospital has more time and energy to study chip issues, and Wang Teng's team can also relieve some pressure.
The sudden increase in efficiency of the operation was quickly noticed by the players in the game.
At first, only sensitive players like Si Lan could feel the lack of energy. Later, as time went on, more players gradually began to feel uncomfortable.
But after this period of national efforts, they began to return to normal within the game.
Perhaps it was the first time that the players felt the power of their motherland firsthand, and their hearts were reassured, and the construction speed of each camp soared further.
Fang Xun and others made considerable gains in the mine. There were abundant resources in the mine, including many essential materials for modern appliances.
Si Lan had told them before that they must bring back as many of these materials as possible. Fang Xun and the others would rather give up common food resources and fill up the space with these ores, and also fill up several hand-woven baskets.
We returned together only when we really couldn't carry it anymore.
On the way back, Fang Xun and others passed by a hidden passage in the camp. Fang Xun thought of the requirement that the superiors repeatedly emphasized that they should work together, and decided to stop by to take a look.
Out of curiosity about the other camps, everyone followed suit.
After passing through a very hidden mountain path, everyone soon saw a camp not far from them at the entrance of the path.
But when they saw it, they were also quite shocked.
There are probably only about ten residents living in this camp.
I don't know if it's because there's no leader or there aren't enough experienced players, but a month has passed in the game, and this camp still hasn't built any decent houses. They're still using a crude combination of wood, bamboo, and leaf roofs, and there's not even any mud walls next to them.
Fang Xun and others were shocked.
There were many little kids in the camp. They didn't have any decent tools, so they used their feet to step on the firewood to provide materials for the adults to make fire.
The adults didn't have porcelain, so they could only use ready-made tools such as slate to bake some simple food to survive.
The desolation is visible to the naked eye.
Fang Xun looked at the entrance of the mountain road for a long time.
After confirming that this was the current situation in the camp, he turned around with mixed feelings and asked Fan Wenqing and the others, "Can I go over and take a look?"
His expression was full of pity, which was obvious at a glance. Fan Wenqing suddenly asked, "Officer Fang, what do you want to do?"
Fang Xun was silent. He took another look at the desolate place, and even his tone was tinged with pity: "This place is so shabby. I don't know what's going on, but if I just leave it alone, I can't... do it."
Fan Wenqing pursed her lips.
She knew what the police were thinking, but if Fang Xun communicated with them, given their current situation...
Should we leave Officer Fang behind to lead this camp, or should we take the people in the camp back to their own camps?
But no matter which one it is, it is a big unknown for our own camp.
Especially since children make up at least half of the people here...
Fan Wenqing was silent, and the others followed suit.
Fang Xun could also understand their concerns. After some thought, he said, "In this case, we must not delay the progress of our camp, especially since Si Lan and the others are also waiting for us to send back the resources."
"So you guys take the ore we dug away first. I'll stay here alone and make plans after I understand the situation clearly."
When Fan Wenqing heard this, she thought: This means you want to choose the first path and stay.
But there was only one police officer, Fang Xun, in their own camp. The guys who had set the fire were voted to stay by the people in the camp, but they were not allowed too close to their own camp. They were given houses a little further away. They were well-behaved now, but it might be because they were being kept under control by the new regulations.
What if one day they found out that Fang Xun was gone, and the other sister Si Lan who was keeping them under control was not at home either, would they be in danger?
Even if they were safe, what if they encountered bad guys from other camps? Who would be in charge? Who would be the authority figure?
Such people are indispensable in group life.
After much deliberation, Fan Wenqing decided, "Then let's take a few more people with us. If they need help, more people will help faster. Otherwise, Officer Fang, how long will you be able to handle them all by yourself?"
"Then we'll take the resources back and ask everyone in the camp what to do in this situation. More people means more ideas."
Fang Xun understood what she meant and gave her a look of gratitude and understanding.
The other residents began to divide the work, leaving two experienced players for Fang Xun, two who could contribute, and the rest shared their resources and moved back to the camp first.
Fang Xun waited until everyone was out of sight before calling out to the others: "Let's go and talk to them."
The location of this camp is also remote. There are mountains on two sides and a half-dried-up lake on the other side. The resources are very scarce.
Hearing the noise coming from the side of the mountain, all the residents in the camp jumped up, waving their wooden sticks and taking defensive postures.
Judging from this reaction and posture, it seems that he has been attacked by wild beasts in the mountains before.
When I saw that there were a few people coming over - a few people from outside the camp!
Everyone was stunned for a while before someone reacted: "Oh my god, are you players from somewhere else?!"
Fang Xun's profession gives him a natural affinity when communicating.
He raised his hand and pressed it lightly in the air, signaling everyone not to panic. He then explained, "We're passing by from another camp and happened to find you here... Is this your camp? Are you the only ones here?"
"I see you don't even have a decent house. You don't have a leader? Are there any soldiers or police here? ... Oh, right, I'm a police officer, my last name is Fang. Don't worry, we're not here to cause trouble."
When everyone heard he was a policeman, the children pointed at him and shouted to the adults, "Police! Uncle police! There really is an uncle policeman outside!"
When the adults heard this, they were very wary at first, but when they saw that Fang Xun and the people who came with him did not seem to have any malicious intentions, they gradually relaxed their vigilance.
"Are they really police officers?"
"Is it the police that the state sent with you?"
Fang Xun: "Yes."
They: "I heard the government can communicate with you, is that true? Did they tell you when you can leave this crappy game and when they can rescue us?"
Fang Xun: "We do have a secure way of communication. So, no one in your camp can get the information conveyed by the country?"
Everyone: "How could that be?"
"Where are you from?"
"If you hadn't shown up here today, we wouldn't have known there were other people in this game!"
A man behind Fang Xun pointed into the distance and asked, "Did you go outside? Are there any other camps or other players nearby?"
The adults snorted again: "What do you mean by going out?! There's no way out of here!"
One of the middle-aged players pointed at the grassy area in the distance. "Don't be fooled by the fact that it looks like there's a wide path there. Actually, about ten kilometers from here, there's a dead end! There's a huge crack there, cutting off the road on both sides. It's impossible to get through!"
"And here, at the end of this direction, there's a huge forest. It's so big that you can't get out even if you walk for three days and three nights! There are black bears and tigers in it. Apart from a few adults, most of us here are children, and no one dares to go in and take the risk!"
As soon as this topic was brought up, the players in the small camp who had been surviving miserably for a month started to complain about the poor and unreasonable design of the game venue like a floodgate was opened.
As they were talking, someone finally realized what was going on and asked Fang Xun, "Huh? Where did you come from? Did you climb over the mountain from the opposite side? Then why did you climb over the mountain?"
Fang Xun immediately told them that there was actually a way out of this place, right between the two mountains, but it was blocked by a large rock at the intersection, which made people think it was a dead end.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked: So the path doesn’t lead to the mountain, but to the outside?
They had always worried that they would be eaten by wild animals, but this road turned out to be safe?
Fang Xun did not guarantee the safety of this passage. After all, when they came here, it was broad daylight, and most of the dangerous beasts in the mountains were resting in the deep mountains. Moreover, they had more people and more weapons.
He went over to take a look at the overall situation of the camp and felt more and more that this place was not suitable for long-term residence. He looked at the pitifully small number of a dozen or so camp residents and fell into deep thought.
The few people who stayed with him naturally saw his mood.
But no one dared to make a decision. After a few quiet conversations, a representative took the initiative and said, "Since we're here, we still have some resources. How about we teach everyone how to build a house first? At least we'll have a place to live before we make any plans?"
Fang Xun nodded when he heard this and asked the residents in the camp, "Are you interested in learning?"
These people have been living in this simple house with ventilation on all sides for a long time and have long been fed up with it. Of course they agreed when they heard it.
They also noticed that these newcomers all had a sense of calmness and ease, which was in stark contrast to the embarrassment they had suffered for a long time.
They didn't know where such confidence came from, but when food and clothing were a problem, no one would think about such a question. Seeing Fang Xun and others coming over, they immediately surrounded them and urged them to share their experience quickly.
On the other hand, Fan Wenqing and others discovered serious problems in the new camp, so they all hurried back to the camp.
The journey, which should have taken three days, was completed in two. The moment they saw the camp from afar, they were overwhelmed with homesickness, which made them run and jump as they rushed over.
However, as they approached the camp, the people who had been away for only ten days looked at the new scenery and new look of the camp and shouted in unison: "What the hell?!"
