Chapter 71



The flood in Lucheng was so extensive that almost everyone was busy with disaster relief under tight time constraints.

There are not enough rescue workers.

There is not enough rescue equipment.

There is not enough medical equipment on site.

In large-scale disasters, supplies are always in short supply.

Although donations are being made nationwide now, the donations here are not enough in the face of a total resource collapse. It is also impossible for someone in a certain province to donate 100 yuan and the same amount of money will be converted into supplies and reach the disaster area in the next second, not to mention whether it will be enough in the face of a total resource collapse.

But supplies are still a big problem.

Let’s not talk about food and drink for now, just talking about the rescue equipment, it will take time to gather it from all directions.

And at this moment, Sheng Quan, who had already helped a lot, gave them another big surprise.

Several leaders in charge of handling supplies stood in front of the huge transport vehicle, unable to conceal the surprise on their faces.

"So many kayaks, speedboats, and rubber boats are great. We are in need of them. With these, we can send out more rescues."

Another leader, while comparing the list, could not help but say with joy: "There is even a generator, which is really a big help."

"There are so many tents. Let me take a look. This tent is good. It is thick and windproof, and it is not afraid of getting wet. The troops who have come from afar to support us can have a good sleep."

"There are so many blankets and thick clothes. It's so thoughtful. Every item is prepared to the point. Mr. Sheng, thank you so much. With these supplies, the next disaster relief will definitely be much smoother."

To be honest, when they learned that thirty trucks of relief supplies were heading their way, they were happy, but they did not think that these thirty trucks of supplies could help alleviate most of the difficulties.

The main reason is that the flood disaster is too large. Generally, when people donate money and materials, they basically choose food or water. But in fact, in some of the disaster-stricken areas, there is no shortage of food and water at all.

What they lack is rescue equipment. After all, even if they have more food and water, the rescue will still be difficult to carry out.

It was not until they were ready to receive the supplies that they saw the list.

Thirty large transport trucks, filled with all kinds of supplies, all of which are most needed at the moment.

Especially those thick waterproof clothes, tents, and beddings. The weather now is not warm at all, not to mention that the rescue workers will need to stay in the flood for a long time. They are basically shivering with cold when they reach the shore.

Unfortunately, many rescue workers were transferred here urgently, and there was no supply of supplies. Things like heavy clothes that seemed unimportant were actually very important.

There are also tents. When fighting floods, you can always see soldiers sleeping on the roadside or on sandbags after work.

Even soldiers are not made of iron, so how can sleeping on the ground be comfortable? It's okay during the day, but at night, you're already cold, tired, and sleepy, so having a warm big tent is very important.

The tents donated by Sheng Quan met the requirements perfectly: warm and large.

She even bought a batch of firewood. If the front line did not need generators to generate electricity and electricity needed to be used sparingly, she might have bought a batch of heaters.

“That’s so thoughtful.”

The leaders who came to receive the supplies became happier and happier the more they looked at them. Mainly because looking at a list of supplies is one thing, but seeing the real things with their own eyes is a very different feeling.

When Sheng Quan arranged people to go shopping, he specifically pointed out that quality was the most important thing, and that the items must be practical and of good quality. The people in charge of purchasing looked around and felt that even if they did it themselves, they probably wouldn't be able to arrange it so well.

"You must have consulted with professionals in advance, right? Really, every one of them is 200% useful."

Sheng Quan patted Jiang Lu's arm:

"He is a veteran who participated in disaster relief operations while in the army. After retiring, he also served as a volunteer many times, so he has a lot of experience in this area."

In fact, she has her own experience. For example, when people are in a tense mood, they will feel cold. They will also be afraid of cold when they are injured or weak.

After Sheng Quan was rescued from the earthquake, even though the soldiers wrapped her in military coats, she was still shivering and fantasizing about having a big fire in front of her.

Moreover, you can cook meals in a big pot over the fire, and it doesn’t matter if it rains, you can just build a shed.

Of course, she had no experience of being rescued from an earthquake in this world, so she could only blame everything on Brother Jiang.

"So he's a veteran." Everyone looked at Jiang Lu and nodded in admiration.

This tall and strong man really looks like a veteran.

It started to drizzle, and Jiang Lu was holding an umbrella for Sheng Quan. Even though Sheng Quan said that it was okay to get a little wet, the tall man who always followed her words silently did not listen this time.

Sheng Quan knew him well: "If I wasn't there, would you have gone to participate in the rescue?"

She actually didn't have to come to the scene. With just a word, there were plenty of people to help Sheng Quan do these things.

However, Sheng Quan could be lazy and leave other things to her subordinates, but when it comes to disaster relief, when perhaps one piece of supplies can save a life, she still wants to see it with her own eyes to feel at ease.

She was taking care of the logistics here, and Jiang Lu was always with her.

Although Jiang Lu doesn't talk much, his actions show that he is a practical man, and one person can do the work of three others.

Sheng Quan could even bet that if he hadn't served beside her, Hong

After the disaster, he will definitely come to volunteer, just like he did in the previous times.

"If you go, you should be able to save a lot of people. If you want to go, go ahead. I have other people around me."

But to her surprise, Jiang Lu actually shook his head.

The tall man held an umbrella for her. Under the drizzle, his pair of dark eyes, which were always dark, seemed to soften. He said softly, "You can save more people."

Although there are no specific statistics yet, Sheng Quan has indeed saved many people. She has not rested since she was woken up in the morning and has been constantly arranging various rescue matters.

But almost every moment, someone gets a break from the decisions she makes.

Jiang Lu naturally wanted to participate in the rescue personally. Even though he had retired from the army, he still considered himself a soldier in his heart.

Sheng Quan once joked that Jiang Lu was the standard image of a soldier in the minds of the Chinese people. Just standing there gave people a full sense of security.

At this moment, Jiang Lu, who gave people a sense of security, did not deny that he wanted to participate in the rescue, but he had already made his choice. Such a steady man who usually didn't say much, now looked at Sheng Quan seriously and made a promise.

"I want to be by your side to protect you."

Damn, why is he so sweet?

Sheng Quan thought, it's true that when someone who doesn't like to talk usually says something nice, it feels different.

But she just sighed for a moment, and her mind immediately shifted to continuing to purchase supplies.

The scope of the flood is still expanding. Helicopters and drones ensure rapid rescue. In terms of logistics, Sheng Quan still wants to help as much as possible.

Of course, Sheng Quan’s help may be a little different from what everyone understands as help.

Take the logistics of the troops rushing to the rescue as an example. Maybe everyone, even the soldiers on the front line, felt that having a tent and a bed and quilt was enough.

But Sheng Quan, in addition to the tent, bedding and thick clothes, she also wanted to buy a folding bed.

Why not put the limited funds into other more important things? --Because she has money.

Not only can she put the funds into other important materials, but she can also free up a lot of funds for other things.

Sheng Quan started making phone calls again, spending a lot of money and in return he felt a deep sense of satisfaction in his heart.

It was precisely because she had seen those disaster relief soldiers rushing to the front lines in her previous life, exhausted and falling asleep in their clothes, that she wanted to do something even more at this moment.

Folding beds cost money? Buy them! It’s cold and there’s no electricity, so the rescuers can only eat cold food? Buy firewood! Buy a pot! Buy a cook! No, we can’t buy a cook, so we hire one! It’s difficult to transport supplies, so we can pay more.

The equipment is heavy and difficult to get to the front line, so we have to pay more money to solve the problem.

Since the rescue workers were unable to spare any manpower to do these chores, Sheng Quan hired people to do them himself.

Facts have proved that as long as you have money, you can really solve 90% of the problems.

I haven’t expressed my feelings about that sentence for a long time, and I’m going to express my feelings about it again today.

It's great to be rich.

Sheng Quan's contribution to disaster relief was so great that she wanted to make the arrangements herself. After a brief meeting, the leadership team handed it over to her.

Then Sheng Quan started spending money like crazy.

Although she has been spending money all the time, she has never felt so happy about spending money as she does now! ! ! She feels happy when she thinks that every penny she spends is saving lives.

Not only did 006 not stop him, but seeing that the host was so happy, he also joined in shouting 666.

If the lottery had not been announced yet, it would have won a dozen more helicopters for Sheng Quan.

*** Xu He was so tired that his eyes were staring straight ahead. His body was exhausted, but his spirit was very excited. He was unsteady on his feet and was shivering from the cold.

Sometimes when he felt he couldn't hold on any longer, he would look up to see the helicopters. There was no other intention, he just liked it and it gave him some encouragement.

Although it was very cold, he was still very happy in his heart.

He saved someone today.

The veteran who had just retired, but one step later than him, raised his blistered and wrinkled hands and patted his arm: "Let's go and have a rest."

Xu He, who was participating in disaster relief for the first time, looked around and suggested, "Let's go to the front to rest."

The old soldier moved his stiff neck and said, "Just lie down somewhere."

Xu He: “Ah?”

The veteran said he was very experienced: "It's only our first day here. Everyone is busy with rescue operations and has no time to find a place to stay. Don't we have mats with us? Let's find a relatively flat place and stay there."

"What's with that expression on your face? It's normal for so many people who came here for emergency rescue to have nowhere to sleep. You can't expect to conjure up a bunch of tents and beds out of thin air in such a short time, right? It's difficult to make room for them, too."

Xu He blinked in confusion and pointed to the front right: "But there...are just a bunch of tents and beds."

"What are you talking about? I didn't see anything before. Did you think we were watching a TV show? Just wave your hand and supplies will fall from the sky? What are you thinking..."

The old soldier looked up and saw the huge group of tents. He swallowed the rest of the words unconsciously.

It really exists...

No, I haven’t seen it before.

Where did it come from? Xu He: "Supplies dropped from the sky?"

veteran:"……"

The two looked at each other and slowly raised their heads.

——Looked up at the sky.
