Chapter 21 Government Rescue
Three days later, the authorities finally issued the first rescue notice after the rainstorm, with military personnel driving search and rescue boats to various parts of the city and broadcasting it.
"All residents please note that the government will distribute relief supplies at the community emergency rescue center at 8 a.m. tomorrow. Everyone will collect the corresponding supplies with their ID card. No one else is allowed to collect on their behalf."
The rescue notification loudspeaker sounded three times in the community, and everyone was shocked and felt that they saw hope.
With the help of the country, everything seems not so scary anymore.
Only those who knew the inside story had no emotional ups and downs. The floods caused by heavy rains were a national disaster, and they also had to rescue supplies stored in granaries across the country. The number of rescue personnel that the country could dispatch was very limited.
Moreover, it is uncertain how long the distribution of relief supplies can continue. Shuxin remembers that in the book, the country has only distributed relief supplies three times. With their reminder this time, I don’t know how long the distribution of relief supplies can continue.
There is no point thinking about these things, so Shuxin threw away the messy thoughts in her mind and focused back on today's training content.
That day, Yan Mo and his team came back from gathering information outside. They conducted a comprehensive analysis of the current situation and adjusted the training plans of Shu Xin and Fu Xiangwen. The progress was much faster than before, and the intensity was gradually increasing.
While having dinner, a few people discussed about collecting relief supplies tomorrow and decided that all four of them would go.
The next morning, the four of them had breakfast, wrapped themselves up tightly and went out.
The heavy rain lasted for such a long time that the weather in July no longer felt like summer. The air was full of water molecules and the air was humid everywhere, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Normally we turn on the dehumidifier at home, so I don't feel anything. But as soon as I go out, I can feel a cold and damp air drilling into my bones. Even wearing long pants and long sleeves can't stop it, and I can't help but shiver.
Yan Mo had been paying attention to Shu Xin's condition, and the moment he noticed Shu Xin's body shaking, he hugged her in his arms.
"I just told you to put on more clothes but you didn't listen. Now you know you're cold."
Although he scolded her, he hugged her even tighter and used his body to block most of the cold wind from Shuxin.
Shu Xin has become accustomed to her boyfriend nagging like an old father, so she follows Yan Mo's actions and hides in his arms, whining and acting coquettishly with him.
Yan Mo sighed helplessly and could only resign himself to holding the person tightly, and only let go when they reached their destination.
The community's emergency rescue point was built on relatively high ground. The water had not yet come up, allowing people to stand. A large open space outside was already crowded with people, all of them stretching their heads to look toward the supply distribution point ahead to see what would be handed out.
To prevent group disturbances, a small team of soldiers were stationed at each supply distribution point with guns. Once a troublemaker was found, he or she would be put on the blacklist and refused to be distributed supplies.
If anyone dared to rob, the soldiers standing nearby would not just sit there and wait for the opportunity. They had received orders to kill anyone who tried to rob supplies on the spot, leaving no room for anyone.
Shuxin and the others lined up at the end of the team in an orderly manner. Mu Qimai and Yan Mo stood in the front and back respectively, leaving Shuxin and Mu Xiangwen in the middle. This way, if there was any emergency, the safety of both of them could be guaranteed.
