On the third day after the earthquake, Cheng Lin led the management staff to settle the residents. Ye Fu and Wenwen were still busy treating the injured. Jiang Rong took Tang Yizheng and the others out to search for supplies every day. In the space, Officer Song and the others were also idle, collecting supplies.
They will clean and dry the materials that come in as soon as possible, especially the medicines from the pharmaceutical factory, and the cotton and fabrics from the clothing factory are very precious and cannot be wasted at all.
Cheng Lin asked people to gather the surviving residents of the resettlement houses in Haguang City to the main square of the base. All survivors could receive a set of thick cotton coats, a set of raincoats, a first aid kit, and a stainless steel rice bowl.
In the main square, a doctor with an injured leg was cooking a large pot of medicine. Five meters away was a temporary kitchen where several master chefs were cooking.
The base now provides two meals a day. Meals are served at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. every day. As long as residents bring a stainless steel rice bowl to cook, they can receive a bowl of noodle soup soaked in compressed biscuits and a portion of sauerkraut.
The food is average, and people with big appetites may not be able to eat enough, but everyone is not hungry.
This heavy rain and earthquake caused too much damage to the base. Hundreds of acres of wheat fields were basically destroyed, but a lot of corn was recovered. Fortunately, Cheng Lin was far-sighted and transferred 100% of the base's materials to Ye Fu's space in the past six months.
Ninety.
In the past two days, the residents had all crowded into tents in the main square. The tents had been set up in the cornfield. Shen Li asked several of his men to count the number of survivors. After two days of counting, they could only make an approximate count.
In this earthquake, 30,000+ people disappeared, and the total number of dead people was 40,000+. After the earthquake, about 100,000+ residents left the base to seek survival, and 3,000+ residents lost arms and legs, and the patients were seriously injured.
There are 2,000+, 300+ orphans who have lost their parents, and hundreds of thousands of survivors with intact limbs. However, some residents have already gone to the base factory to look for supplies and are preparing to leave.
"Dear residents, this earthquake was caused by plate movement and impact, with a magnitude exceeding nine. All buildings and shelters in the base and Haguang City collapsed, and the ground cracked. It is no longer possible to survive here.
You can also find some usable materials in the base factory area and the Haguang City factory area, including vegetable greenhouses and corn fields, as well as a lot of vegetables and grains, you can go look for them."
The three of them found a hidden place and entered the space directly.
"Continue to contact the central base, and by the way, contact Wentan Base."
After Cheng Lin pondered for a moment, he said quietly, "Young women and children will be placed alone together. Those who cause trouble will be executed directly. If anyone wants to leave, don't stop them. It is impossible to rebuild the base. If you want to leave, let everyone find their own way out."
.”
Ye Fu nodded, "They plan to go back to the central base, but the journey is far and many people are hesitant."
Xuxu rubbed her eyes and jumped out directly into Ye Fu's arms. Fang Wei followed behind with her shoes.
"Central base?"
Cheng Lin and others are already discussing their departure journey. Some people think they can go back to the south, while others want to go north and join the central base.
"Can I contact you at the central base?"
Cheng Lin glanced at the crowd of people in the main square and fell silent again.
"Aunt, uncle, they are sick, they are crying in pain."
"Where is Qi Yuan?" Fang Wei glanced behind the three of them, but she didn't see Qi Yuan, and she instantly became nervous.
"How many people are left in the base now?"
Ye Fu and Jiang Run looked at each other, and their expressions became serious.
When Jiang Run found Ye Fu, she and Wenwen were cleaning surgical tools.
"Commander Cheng, do you have any good countermeasures?"
"They also want to go back to the central base?"
"What happened?"
"Can't be contacted right now."
"He is still busy, so let's come in and talk about something. There are too many things going on outside, so we have to go out."
"What happened outside?" Wan Tao and Liu Zhang both walked out. Ye Fu asked everyone to go to the living room of the wooden house. After sitting down, he briefly informed them of the situation outside.
"Xuxu, why are they sick? There are many dead birds outside. Did they eat something poisonous?"
Luo Yang nodded, "Yes."
"Auntie, are you done?"
Xuxu nodded, "Okay, I'll ask them right now."
"Xuxu, put on your shoes first."
Shen Li took the loudspeaker and stood in the center of the square, constantly mobilizing residents to collect supplies.
"What should we do? There are so many people, so many mouths to eat, and now people are making trouble every day."
Xuxu returned to the room with the two birds in her arms. Fang Wei was walking around beside her. Even Wan Tao and the others had anxiety and worry on their faces.
"There were many dead birds at the base. I caught two alive ones and asked Xuxu to ask what happened." Jiang Run took out two red birds with their feet and beaks tied from his coat pocket.
Looking at Jiang Run's expression, Ye Fu knew something was wrong.
Officer Song and the others had been busy for a few days and were resting in the wooden house at this time. The three of them entered the wooden house. Ye Fu knocked on Xuxu's door. She made a little noise and woke up the others.
"Residents have already left one after another, and there have been many fights in the past two days, all for the purpose of robbing supplies. As far as I know, Cheng Lin and the others are contacting other bases in northern Xinjiang and the central base."
Many residents obeyed the arrangements and went to collect supplies with the distributed gloves. Some people clearly had good arms and legs, but just didn't want to move and waited for the base to distribute two meals every day.
Everyone fell silent, the sky was vast and the earth was vast. At this moment, everyone became homeless.
"Have you contacted the First Base, Third Base, and Fourth Base?"
Luo Yang shook his head, "The third base and the fourth base can't be contacted for the time being. The magnitude of the earthquake at the first base was huge and the losses were even more severe. The roof of the shelter fell down and crushed many people to death. A crack opened in the base factory area." Many factories have collapsed in the Rift Valley, and tens of thousands of people have disappeared. They plan to go north."
Jiang Run untied the rope tied to the feet of the two birds. When Xuxu saw the birds, his eyes instantly lit up.
——
"It is estimated that there are still more than 700,000, but people are leaving every day, and some have formed various small groups. Now when you go to find supplies under the ruins, you need to go in groups, otherwise you will be robbed. Cheng Lin is very busy. He doesn't have time to care about such trivial matters. Last night, a young woman was dragged away and violated. The murderer was caught on the spot. Cheng Lin ordered her to be executed, and her body was still hanging next to the shed."
Fu Jiao couldn't help but shudder, and Fang Wei reached out and patted her shoulder.
"Auntie, I say hello."
A few minutes later, Xuxu ran out of the room holding two birds.
"They said that a few days ago they went to look for food outside the mountain. As soon as they arrived outside the mountain, the ground cracked and a black and smelly water emerged from the ground. They smelled the smell of the water and felt sick all over. I felt comfortable, so I flew back with all my strength, but many birds still died."
