340: Disasters are different everywhere.
Jiang Fei: "The soil here was affected by acid rain not long ago, so anything planted here would die."
"The Black Night Gang only recently succeeded in improving the soil."
"Captain Xu, you just said that the soil in our country has returned to normal?"
"That's right." Xu Qianyao told Jiang Fei:
"Last month, there was an acid rain in our country, which unexpectedly changed our barren soil, making it possible to grow plants."
"According to the Research Institute of Huaxia Base, acid rain should have acidified the soil, making it impossible for plants to grow. However, before the arrival of the polar day, there was an unknown substance in the domestic soil that prevented plant growth."
"The acid rain reacted with this unknown substance. I don't understand the specific professional knowledge, but the general meaning is that two negatives made a positive."
Jiang Fei caught the key point: "There was only one acid rain in our country, and it didn't experience extreme seasonal changes?"
Xu Qianyao nodded: "The acid rain in our country stopped after half an hour."
"I heard from Chu Xia about the extreme seasonal changes in Mos City. Before the acid rain, we suffered an extreme cold and high temperatures."
Now, the disasters in various places are different. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
Jiang Fei thought, and drove to Sister Lu's doorstep.
The courtyard gate was wide open.
Sister Lu only closed the gate when she was resting, to avoid the Black Night Gang members from looking for her urgently and her not knowing in time.
Jiang Fei got out of the car, holding the insulated box, and led Xu Qianyao and Yin Jing into the house.
Sister Lu and Sister Ma were sitting at the table, observing the small cabbage seedlings in the mini flowerpots.
Hearing footsteps, Sister Lu looked up.
"Sister Jiang, who are these two?"
"My friends, Xu Qianyao and Yin Jing." Jiang Fei introduced the two to Sister Lu and talked about bringing compatriots back to the country.
Knowing that they were from Huaxia Base, Sister Lu enthusiastically invited Xu Qianyao and Yin Jing to sit down:
"Leave the matter of compiling the list to me."
"As for other cities in Country F, there's no need for you to go."
"I once sent people to other cities to find supplies. Only Mos City in Country F has survivors; the rest of the places have become dead cities."
"Third Sister, go and arrange accommodation for Captain Xu and Comrade Yin."
"By the way, Captain Xu, where are the other members of your team?"
Xu Qianyao: "They are on the cruise ship and yachts by the sea, responsible for guarding our boats to prevent them from being damaged by survivors."
"The task of finding people is handled by Yin Jing and me."
Sister Lu: "It's a bit late today. You two go rest first. We'll start compiling the list tomorrow morning."
After Xu Qianyao and Yin Jing left with Sister Ma, Jiang Fei gave the insulated box to Sister Lu.
"These are special mutated sweet potato seedlings cultivated by Zhao Rui. They are high-yield and can adapt to all harsh environments. He will come tomorrow to teach you how to plant them."
"That's great! Now I don't have to worry about food!" Sister Lu's smile quickly disappeared again:
"Sister Jiang, will you go back to the country with Captain Xu and the others?"
Jiang Fei hummed: "Sister Lu, aren't you planning to go back?"
"I've long considered the Black Night Gang my home, and I don't want to leave here."
"Besides, I'm afraid of joining a base again."
That experience at Fengquan City Base left too much psychological trauma for her and her sisters.
Unwilling to recall the past, Sister Lu changed the subject:
"Tell me the day you leave, Sister will see you off."
Jiang Fei: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the day after tomorrow."
"Then we'll have another drink together at that time."
Sister Lu said admiringly: "Your alcohol tolerance, girl, is really good. Last time you drank so many of us under the table."
Jiang Fei remained silent, feeling guilty.
Last time, her teammates helped her make fake alcohol.
But she couldn't say that.
—
With Sister Lu's help, in less than two days, Xu Qianyao and Yin Jing finished compiling the list of people from Mos City returning to the country.
There were a total of 1289 people.
Among them, one-third were physically disabled, seriously injured, or gravely ill.
They voluntarily stated that they did not need any treatment or medicine from the Rescue Team.
They only hoped that the Rescue Team could take them back to the country.
To return to their roots, even if they died, they wanted to die at home.
In response, Xu Qianyao said he would treat them.
Huaxia Base provided each Rescue Team with ample supplies and also equipped them with a professional medical team, all to ensure that every compatriot could return home safely.
As the news spread that Mother Huaxia was coming to pick up her children, Mos City, which had been dull and oppressive, was now filled with laughter and joy.
"Have you decided what you want to do after returning to the country?"
"I'm a construction engineer. I heard that many places in the base haven't been completed yet, so I can help with construction."
"I used to be an accountant. If only I had known the apocalypse would come, I would have studied something else."
"You're good at fighting. I think you could be a security guard and protect peace in an area."
The survivors of Huaxia discussed excitedly.
Survivors from other countries looked at this scene with envy.
Why didn't their countries send people to pick them up?
It was as if they had been abandoned.
—
The night before departure.
Sister Lu notified the Black Night Gang members who were returning to the country to come to the cafeteria for dinner.
Jiang Fei and her four companions also went.
As soon as they entered the cafeteria, they smelled a fragrance.
On each table, there were two large basins of dumplings and two bottles of foreign liquor.
The dumplings were made from elm bark ground into powder.
The filling was wild vegetables with a small amount of ham sausage and cured meat.
Sister Lu didn't know where she got a handheld megaphone, and she raised it and said:
"We have an old saying in Huaxia: 'dumplings for departure, noodles for arrival'."
"You call me big sister, and we are family."
"Sister hopes that your journey back to the country will be smooth and safe, and that everyone can live until the end of the apocalypse!"
Someone poured a glass of wine: "Sister Lu, if you hadn't taken me in back then, I would have starved to death long ago. I toast you with this cup!"
"Without you, I would have died last year from an infected wound. Thank you for giving me medicine at that time."
"Sister Lu, thank you for taking care of me for so long."
Everyone raised their glasses to toast Sister Lu.
Including You Chengyu, Father Mo, Wu Xiaowei, and others.
Without Sister Lu, they would not have been able to live peacefully in Mos City.
Xu Qianyao also raised his glass to toast Sister Lu: "Sister Lu, you are one of the people I admire the most."
"Not only did you save thousands of Huaxians, but you also wholeheartedly took care of them and shared supplies."
Sister Lu smiled: "Because we are all Huaxians."
"If we don't help our own people, should we help outsiders?"
As if remembering something, Sister Lu told Xu Qianyao: "If your boats are not enough, the Black Night Gang has a fishing boat that can be repaired and used."
"If supplies are not enough, I still have a lot here, and I can give you half."
Xu Qianyao: "No need. This time we came with a small cruise ship and two yachts, which can accommodate three thousand people."
"The supplies, water, and medicine on board are ample and completely sufficient."
Sister Lu felt relieved: "Come, come, sit down and eat."
Jiang Fei and her four companions, along with Xu Qianyao and Yin Jing, sat at Sister Lu's table.
Lu Yu, Su Liuyuan, and Ling Zhaorui could drink alcohol this time.
The three of them consciously helped Jiang Fei, Xiao Chuxia, and Yin Jing fend off drinks.
Everyone drank and chatted.
The meal lasted until 11 PM.
Full of food and drink, everyone gradually left, and Sister Lu held Jiang Fei's hand:
"Sister Jiang, I have something for you."
