Chapter 345 What are you doing? Walking sideways on someone else's territory
Rescue ships entered the waterway one after another, bringing in batches of refugees.
"Have all the boats returned, Tongzi? Let's count them." Li Kuaile peeled a lychee and put it into his mouth. This year, the lychees planted by Grandpa Tang Dejian had a bumper harvest, and everyone in the base was enjoying a feast.
"Master, including the No. 08 ship that just came back, all 20 rescue ships have returned."
"How many people have been saved?" She dropped the lychee seeds one by one into the clean water in the recycled wolfberry and ginseng wine bottle, a total of 13 seeds. She had heard from Grandpa Tang that when growing lychee seeds in water, they must be shielded from light so that pink leaves can grow. She wanted to give it a try.
"There are 3549 refugees in total."
"Huh? I must be wrong. The previous count was about 2 people." Li Kuaile looked up at the data. The number displayed on the screen was: 3549.
"That's right, Master. According to the number of people counted by each ship, we made a profit."
"Made a profit? That's not certain." Li Kuaile stared at the data detected by the bracelet.
Tongzi: "(⊙_⊙)? Oh."
How can the system understand the pros and cons of human hearts and human nature?
North of Paradise Base, refugee camp.
"This is the paradise base! Is it a paradise on earth?" Zheng Yan and his friends exclaimed.
The base was well-organized and shaded by trees. When I just came down from the waterway, I saw a large area of lush green fields and fish ponds. Vehicles of all types could be seen running on the road everywhere. There were also buildings and the iconic triangular column central area in the distance. It was spacious and clean, and most importantly, there was not a single zombie. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed my eyes.
"Those who have not received the wristband, please come and get it now. After receiving it, be sure to wear it on your wrist and do not take it off at will. The wristband is waterproof and sweat-proof and does not need to be charged. It is a pass to enter and exit the park base." Guo Bin said in a hoarse voice.
However, there were also some discordant voices among the crowd.
"Tsk, maybe it's just superficial work. Who knows if there's something fishy hidden in it." A man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks said sarcastically.
"Wearing that thing will make it easier for them to track us. Alas, there is nothing we can do. This is their territory, so we have to do as they say."
A tall and thin young man next to Zheng Yan muttered, "I never thought there was such a good place, with tanks and helicopters. It must be a military base. If we don't contact them, they may not come to rescue us."
Someone complained quietly: "I don't know if they provide food here. We have been hungry for several days. It would be most practical to wear a bracelet to store food."
"Yeah, there's nothing to eat on the boat. When will we get food?"
As soon as these words were spoken, some people around who had originally had high expectations for the base began to waver.
"Hey, you adults are talking so nicely. The director of the paradise base can ignore it, so why does he send food and send a boat to rescue us? He doesn't have to go through all this trouble. Who said he will rescue you once he gets in touch with you?" Zheng Yan said with his hands on his hips in a domineering manner. He really can't stand the ugly and calculative faces of some adults.
"I'm wondering who is so aggressive. How dare a little brat like you criticize an adult?" A middle-aged, thin, dark man with an untidy beard pointed at Zheng Yan and criticized him.
Even the tall and thin young man next to him glared at Zheng Yan with disdain.
"What I said is not wrong. The Paradise Base doesn't owe us anything. We just keep asking for food. Mayor Li went to so much trouble to send us to his base. Does he want to see people starve to death?" Hu Meng walked to Zheng Yan, holding a steel halberd to protect him.
"Who knows? You're not Mayor Li!"
Just when the atmosphere was tense, Guo Bin walked over quickly and said, "Stop arguing! The base will take care of everyone's meals. This bracelet is for everyone's safety. It will help us find you in time when you are in danger."
He raised his voice and said, "Get your wristbands now, and then we will arrange for everyone to have dinner and rest."
The crowd then quieted down a bit and received the bracelets and put them on.
The meals in the camp consisted of two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and a soup. The refugees lined up in 10 rows in an orderly manner to receive their meals.
However, many people feel that the food portions are too small and always ask the person distributing the food to add more meat and vegetables.
Even though the base staff told them that the meals would be distributed in fixed quantities to each person at the beginning, they could come back for more if they finished eating.
I treated him kindly but he kept nagging me.
People who are extremely hungry have bad tempers and are stubborn and refuse to move. They are afraid that if they go to get food after they finish eating, there will be no more food left. So they come up with a crooked idea. They watch others grabbing food, and then run away happily after grabbing it.
This commotion caused the crowd, which had just quieted down, to become restless again.
Guo Bin frowned. At this moment, he saw Song Qingxiu distributing food as usual.
"Brother Bin, they are just scared of being hungry. We were the same before, with meals to spare. It's understandable. We have a large stockpile of food at our base. Just tell them straight away."
Guo Bin understood what Song Qingxiu meant. He knew that Song Qingxiu wanted him to explain to everyone that there was enough food at the base so that everyone could rest assured.
Guo Bin took a deep breath and shouted again, "Everyone, be quiet! We have sufficient food reserves in our park base. There is no need to fight for it. Everyone can eat their fill. If you don't have enough after the first portion, you can always come back for more. There will definitely be enough!"
When the crowd heard this, they quieted down a little, but some people were still skeptical.
Just then, trucks loaded with hot meals drove into the camp, and the staff on the trucks began to unload large buckets of smoking meals, as well as various vegetables and fruits.
Seeing these supplies, there was a burst of exclamations from the crowd, and those who had been complaining and doubting also shut up.
Guo Bin struck while the iron was hot: "As you can see, there is enough food supply at the base. Now, please continue to line up to get food and don't make any noise."
The crowd gradually regained order and began to receive their meals in an orderly manner, with a look of relief on their faces.
While distributing meals, the bracelet recorded a large amount of data in real time. Li Kuaile held his cheek with his hand and smiled meaningfully.
"Tongzi, analyze this data."
The system worked rapidly and gave the result in a short while.
"Master, judging from the data, most people are suffering from malnutrition, which is relatively stable. However, a small number of people have abnormal physical indicators and may have other diseases."
Li Kuaile frowned, "Carry out a full body check before and after the grouping, notify the medical team, and conduct random inspections on those with abnormal indicators."
After the meal, Guo Bin and others divided the more than 3 refugees into two groups according to the system grouping information. One group stayed here, and the other group was sent to Paradise 2 Base (Pingdong District).
"What? Why do we have to go to Base 2? Why do Hu Meng and the others stay here? I'll go ask."
Yang Lei went forward to ask unconvinced, and happened to see the kind-looking Wu Long. She hurriedly tidied her hair and clothes. Although her clothes were dirty and old, she knew her strengths very well and exuding charm was her forte.
"Brother~, how can I change the quota for Base No. 2 to Base No. 1~"
"Ah, how do I change this..." Wu Long glanced at Yang Lei, a thin and pretty girl, but unfortunately, she was not his type. He liked the mature type.
"I can't change it. I grouped them according to the bracelet prompts."
"Brother, my sister and I depend on each other and cannot be separated..." As she spoke, Yang Lei squeezed out several tears.
"I...I...really can't change..." Wu Long was suddenly softened by the girl's tears and became worried.
"Young man, don't listen to her. She is like that to all men. She cries before asking someone to do something for her." Hu Meng suddenly appeared, grabbed Yang Lei's bracelet, and grouped them into "Base No. 2."
"Hu Meng, you're hurting me, let me go!" Yang Lei continued to act, her watery eyes looking at Wu Long for help.
Wu Long's eyes flickered and he took the opportunity to walk away.
"You've ruined my plans again. Why are you everywhere, Hu Meng? You're meddling in other people's business. Humph!" Yang Lei failed to get what she wanted and was angry at Hu Meng.
"Save some energy, the grouping is confirmed and cannot be changed. Don't mess with the guy. Don't say you are in the same group with us when you go out. You're lowering our quality!"
Hu Meng's honest words made Yang Lei so angry that she ran away.
Some people didn't want to go to base 2, so they secretly left the team and headed towards the central area.
"Why can't I live here? Who knows what's in Base 2? This place is big and nice, so I won't move!"
Seeing that some people dared to stay on their own initiative, many people also began to follow suit and flee the team.
"Brother Bin, a small group of people have run to the central area! Do you want to stop them?" Wu Long hurriedly found Guo Bin and said.
"Don't stop him, he won't go far. Look, they are chasing him away!"
Dozens of drones surrounded the fleeing people.
"What on earth are they doing here in the base? They're running around and not following the rules. They're walking sideways in our base!" Wu Long had a look of disgust on his face.
