"Y-you...hello, are you...on vacation?"
Zheng Ming: "..."
Yang Chengang: "..."
The rest of the group: "..."
Pei Nansheng and Xiao Hao's faces twitched; their sister was really good at teasing them.
Zuo Ling wasn't trying to be sarcastic; she just didn't know what to say. She just wanted to greet the other person, like asking, "Have you eaten?" She didn't expect a reply, but it was just a casual greeting.
The atmosphere was awkward, and for a moment, no one knew what to say.
Someone shouted, "Oh no! The yacht is sinking!"
The atmosphere, which had just eased, immediately became tense, and neither of them had time to reminisce about the past.
Zuo Ling breathed a sigh of relief. They couldn't leave now; it was time to save them.
I had a speedboat and two speedboats. I figured the yacht could hold as many people as it could.
Unexpectedly, more than 300 people suddenly appeared.
The yacht wasn't big, and I don't know how it fit inside.
They rescued at most fifty or sixty people at the American base. I wonder where these later ones came from?
The inflatable boat, designed for 12 people, was crammed with 30 people, leaving the three siblings with barely any room to stand.
Fortunately, they were all so thin they were practically skin and bones, so the inflatable boat didn't capsize.
The speedboat is rated for 30 people, but it crammed in 70.
Even so, more than half of the people still couldn't fit in.
Zuo Ling regretted it; she should have been less reckless earlier, and she could have gotten another speedboat.
There was no other way, so using the backpack as cover, I took out two rubber boats, each of which could fit 10 people.
Those who cannot be taken away should find their own floating platforms and wait for rescue.
The arrival of a speedboat and two dinghies alarmed the villagers of Tangren Village.
The first thing the villagers saw was not the three boats full of people, but the fact that the leaders of the boats were Pei Nansheng and his sister.
They shouted to each other, "The superhuman! The superhuman is back!"
The three Guo brothers and He Xiao were so excited their lips trembled. They had been waiting for this moment for so long, and finally, they were back.
"Brother Pei."
"Zuo Ling".
"Xiao Hao."
Li Tian waved excitedly at Xiao Hao.
The vertical distance between the shore and the cliff is 500 to 600 meters, and you have to go around a long way to get to the top of the cliff.
Pei Nansheng shouted, "Help me pick them up, we'll talk about it later."
Everyone frowned as if they had just seen Mifune.
Those who returned first were the elderly, the infirm, the disabled, women, children, or those with mobility issues.
They were all dressed in rags, sickly and emaciated, and many of them had injuries.
Guo Qi and He Xiaoxin thought to themselves, "Brother Pei, you really know how to cause us trouble. Where did you get so many disabled people back?"
They hope for new villagers to join, but they want strong and healthy ones, not just those who will only be a burden.
What can you do with bringing back disabled people?
Now is not the time to think about these things. The person has already arrived, and we can't just send them away. We can only hold our noses and bring them up first.
I thought that if I went again, I could bring everyone back, but in the end I went back and forth twice.
One of the trips was to bring back supplies from the yacht.
Soaked rice and noodles, pots and pans, bedding and clothing... and so on.
When Zuo Ling and the others returned, Yang Chengang and the others were struggling to stay afloat at sea.
Some floated on wooden planks, while others were made by several people working together, pulling large pieces of sheet metal, wooden planks, or plastic sheets, carrying all sorts of supplies transferred from the yacht. Most of the supplies were soaked in water.
Everything else is fine, but can rice and noodles still be eaten after being soaked in seawater?
There were two bags of flour, which were almost turned into dough.
The three siblings said nothing and silently took the things back.
When the last group of people returned, Guo Qi, He Xiao, and the others finally looked a little better.
Thankfully, thankfully, not all of them are elderly, weak, sick, or disabled.
When Zuo Ling introduced Yang Chengang to Guo Qi and He Xiao, she discovered that Yang Chengang was lame.
In the post-apocalyptic world, it is not uncommon for people like Yang Chengang to be physically disabled.
Roughly one in every 20 people has a physical disability.
When Guo Qi and He Xiao shook hands with Yang Chengang, their eyes showed no unusual expression. However, once they learned that Yang Chengang was from Beijing, they became even closer to him.
The person was rescued, and the introductions were complete. Zuo Ling felt it was time to gracefully retire.
As he was quietly leaving, Guo Qi called him back:
"Brother Pei, you should stay."
