Chapter 121 @Fangzhou Rescue Official Account Opens...
As soon as Sun Wei returned to school, she rushed to find Su Huaijin to discuss the matter.
The two convened a meeting with the publicity team members currently on campus. Except for Yue Yuxuan, who was still on her way and participating online via a wristband, the others had already arrived with their families.
The @DormitoryBattle Royale account has been temporarily suspended. The group, who were used to the fast-paced video shooting and production, suddenly found themselves with nothing to do. Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up.
The more they listened, the more they felt it was a pretty good idea.
Sun Wei spoke first: "Since we've decided, let's do a simple division of labor first—I can be responsible for creating accounts and daily operations."
Her original job in the publicity team was operations, and no one was more adept at it than her.
The apocalypse has arrived, and Sun Wei's family has been moved to Fangzhou. No longer needing to worry about being approached by believers after their identities are exposed, she plans to log back into her original social media account after a year and directly change it to Fangzhou's account.
The account @社会你薇姐 has been inactive for a year. Although it lost a lot of followers, many loyal fans are still very concerned about Sun Wei's whereabouts and send her private messages from time to time. The number of die-hard fans is not small.
With millions of followers across various platforms, they can quickly generate a huge wave of exposure, skipping the painful and agonizing early stages of building a small, unknown account like @DormitoryBattle.
As for the original account content, it can be deleted directly, and Sun Wei doesn't feel any remorse at all.
The video can be made again, but the most important thing now is to give those who have nowhere else to turn a voice.
Of course, if the account is successfully established in the future, it will inevitably need help in the face of a massive amount of requests for assistance. Sun Wei is mainly responsible for the initial account setup and subsequent management of the operations team.
“Leave the contacting of other online help aggregation accounts and volunteer organizations to me,” said Freckles. “I’ll go talk to them in a bit.”
"I can manage the forum posts," Yue Yuxuan's voice came from the bracelet. "Xiao Su is going out with the principal soon, so she probably won't have much time to manage the forum."
Not knowing when they might discover the hooded woman's whereabouts, Su Huaijin didn't refuse: "Okay, but I still have time in the next few days."
Zhuo Xiaoliang thought for a moment: "The current efficiency of students 'waiting for orders' and 'grabbing orders' is too low. A lot of time is wasted on waiting, and in order to grab a task, they can't even leave the forum... I was thinking if I could ask the principal to use the registration function of the wristband so that students can form teams themselves and register their free time, location, team size and abilities for the next few days on the wristband. I can then prioritize assigning the organized tasks to suitable people."
This can save a lot of time.
Zhuo Xiaoliang's point is indeed very important. The previous order-grabbing mode, which took an hour or an hour and a half to complete, was really a waste of time.
Su Huaijin nodded: "I'm counting on you."
After nearly a year of collaboration, the five members of the publicity team worked together seamlessly and with exceptionally high efficiency. They quickly finalized their respective roles and responsibilities.
Apart from Sun Wei and Su Huaijin, the rest of the propaganda team members were non-combatants, giving them ample time to complete their respective tasks.
Sun Wei has always been a person with exceptionally high initiative. This can be seen from the fact that she was able to create an account with nearly a million followers while attending high school. Hunting believers during the day and managing the account at night is nothing to her.
As for the daytime, it can be left to other members of the future operations team for management.
Of course, although the five have reached an agreement, they still need to obtain Fuqing's permission before officially creating the account.
Fu Qing had no reason to refuse such a good thing.
After listening to Su Huaijin's explanation, she only rejected one point in their plan, which was Sun Wei's suggestion to change the original account to Fang Zhou's account.
"Leave the account creation to me, you don't need to worry about it."
Fu Qing had already made up her mind to go find Bai Xianglei later and ask him to pass on a message so that they could contact the platform to promote the account.
Just like how @DormitoryBattle Royale was featured on the homepage of a certain website, when the official platform speaks up, it will inevitably cooperate with the utmost enthusiasm. This is much more efficient than simply relying on word-of-mouth marketing by bloggers and netizens.
"As for your account, just keep it yourself," Fu Qing said casually. "Don't delete the content either, it's a shame."
When she decided to delete the account content, Sun Wei didn't feel much heartache, because she felt that what she was about to do was much more meaningful than keeping an account that had stopped updating.
But Sister Wei's account is something she has painstakingly managed for many years, and she has put in a lot of effort. The video content and the comments from her fans are all memories of the journey she has taken.
Upon hearing that she could keep the position, Sun Wei's emotions were somewhat complicated: "Okay, thank you, Principal."
Fu Qing, however, had more to think about.
If possible, she still doesn't want any particular student to become too deeply involved with Fang Zhou outside of school.
Even if Sun Wei's original account is used and all the original videos are deleted, her identity can still be easily uncovered.
The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.
Just like when they used videos, Fu Qing was the only one whose face was shown.
This is something that needs to be done, and it should be done by her.

As Fu Qing expected, when she relayed Bai Xianglei's decision to set up a help account for the students, she immediately received his strong support.
In addition to contacting social media platforms to help promote the content, Bai Xianglei also suggested that a dedicated fiber optic line be installed for Fang Zhou.
As long as the computer rooms along the route have 24-hour power supply, the network can be used at any time.
Of course, this will consume a lot of electricity, and network resources are extremely precious, so it is destined to only provide network access to a small number of people in Fangzhou, such as Fu Qing, the five members of the publicity team, and the volunteers who will help with operation and liaison in the future.
Others who want to access the internet will still have to wait until the government provides electricity for one hour.
"It's also my fault. I knew you had your own communication tools and weren't heavily reliant on the internet, so I didn't say anything before."
Bai Xianglei said awkwardly.
Fu Qing understood that power supply requires electricity, and setting up a separate line and ensuring 24-hour power supply when all nearby base station equipment rooms were without power was not a simple task.
The reason I didn't mention it before might be because the power consumption was just too high.
The reason for agreeing to set it up now is that the returns outweigh the costs.
Tian Xuejun and Bai Xianglei are specifically in charge of matters related to Fangzhou, and the students' rescue mission today will certainly not escape their notice.
In fact, Fu Qing doesn't need so many special privileges. Throughout the past year, all the teachers and students in Fangzhou have been preparing to face the apocalypse on their own. The fact that they have gained the trust and support of the authorities is already much better than expected.
She said politely, "Then I'll trouble you."
"What's the trouble? We're already short-handed, so your help with the rescue is a great thing for us!" Bai Xianglei's eyes lit up as he patted his chest. "I'll contact someone right now, and once you've created your account, send it to me. As for laying the fiber optic cable, leave that to our technicians. It'll take at most ten hours—we guarantee the line will be up and running today."
*
Upon receiving the news, Tian Xuejun immediately ordered the communications troops to be dispatched that same day, carrying fiber optic cables, equipment, and professional personnel to lay them along the way. Two other technicians went to Fangzhou to install the terminals, and they finally completed the debugging before midnight that night.
The loading circle spun a few times, and the webpage popped up successfully.
"It's done!" The publicity team members were in the conference room and couldn't help but feel overjoyed upon seeing this.
The technician breathed a sigh of relief: "The router is installed here, but the range is limited. If you need to access the internet in the future, you'll have to bring your equipment to the administration building."
As for Fu Qing's office, since it's nearby, you can connect directly without leaving the office.
Several students nodded repeatedly.
In addition to the four members of the publicity team, there were several new faces, who were volunteers they had recruited.
Without internet during the day, nothing else could be done, so Sun Wei and her team first gathered everyone together and then asked Fu Qing to put the registration function online.
After working for half a day, the group has roughly compiled a "work schedule" for the next three days.
Students have no shortage of energy. Just like when there weren't enough simulators, they used them in shifts 24 hours a day. This schedule is the same; even the midnight slots are eager to be booked.
The next few days are still within the golden rescue period; as time goes on, the chances of rescue for those trapped without food and water will become increasingly slim.
Time is life, and those trapped cannot wait until they wake up peacefully before being rescued.
As for the others, they are still going out to provide rescue without stopping for a moment.
After Sun Wei left the team, Song Rushuang and Zhang Han simply teamed up with Qin Yufei and the other two. The five of them worked together and won a "big order".
— Rescuing teachers and students trapped in a summer tutoring class.
More than 20 first-year high school students and two teachers, a total of 28 people, are hiding in an office building and have been trapped for three days.
According to Zhang Han's complaint, the way to the tutoring center required taking three elevators and navigating countless winding corridors.
"It's even more well-hidden than that illegal gambling den!"
It was another massive rescue operation. The buses that had just dropped off the elderly were immediately called over by Zhang Han. When they picked up the group of students who had been secretly attending summer tutoring classes, they looked even more frightened and helpless than the elderly who had been secretly gambling.
Having been through it all, the five college students, who had already escaped the ordeal, didn't say anything. They simply patted the students on the shoulder earnestly, acting like good older sisters and brothers, and saw them off onto the bus.
In total, they rescued 47 people in just one day during their two outings, a number that even Song Rushuang and her team were surprised by.
If six people, including Sun Wei, rescued so many people in one day, how many people did all the students in the school rescue in total?
In the early stages of the apocalypse, the number of uninfected people exceeded the number of zombies. A few zombies could trap a large number of people. Moreover, humans are social animals, and those trapped tended to stick together, making search and rescue efforts exceptionally efficient.
This number, in turn, motivated the students. The heavy weight of human lives on their minds kept them awake, and they continued to work tirelessly, like they were on steroids. Even at midnight, many people were still coming and going in Fangzhou.
If Fu Qing hadn't discovered this and promptly issued a notice requiring everyone to ensure sufficient daily sleep, strictly prohibiting them from going out when fatigued, and activating the sleep monitoring function on their wristbands, many people might have even gone out without sleeping all night.
As for those who catch up on sleep during the day and wait to go out when there are fewer people at night, Fu Qing requires Zhuo Xiaoliang to strictly screen their individual abilities before assigning tasks.
Those who are not strong enough are also prohibited from going out at midnight, and must travel in groups of at least five.
Now that there are no streetlights at night, the zombies' advantage will be magnified infinitely. If it weren't for the fact that some of the people seeking help were in critical condition, Fu Qing wouldn't have wanted to let the students out in the middle of the night.
...
Meanwhile, Sun Wei, who only gained internet access at midnight, quickly registered accounts on various mainstream platforms.
The account name is "Fangzhou Rescue". In times like these, a simple and straightforward ID name that makes the purpose immediately clear is better than a fancy name.
Upon receiving the contact, the various platforms immediately changed the nicknames of all users with the same name to the default nicknames after confirming the accounts, provided name change cards as compensation, changed the weight of Fangzhou's account, removed all restrictions on the account such as posting and reply frequency, and provided a large amount of promotion.
The treatment they received was second only to that of an officially opened rescue account.
Fu Qing was once again impressed by the official efficiency. He saw Sun Wei working intently on her laptop, quickly changing the account name, editing the bio, sending the pre-written submission requirements, and pinning them to the top. She was completely immersed in her work.
The other students were doing the same thing, either using their wristbands to operate the forum or writing posts on their computers. Occasionally, they would exchange a few quick sentences, and the room was filled with the clatter of keyboards.
Everyone has their own role, and if you ignore their age, the way these individuals work is no different from a professional team in the workplace.
Fu Qing watched for a while, then quietly left the meeting room.
