382: The strength of the family

Zhou Wanqing followed Jiang Fei's gaze.

"The yellow houses are the shelters built by the Land Base. They are said to be made of the same material as the logistics warehouse and can withstand typhoons, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, and explosions."

"Each shelter has emergency supplies such as drinking water, compressed biscuits, canned food, medicine, life jackets, and assault boats."

"If a major disaster occurs and the officials cannot rescue them in time, residents can go in and take shelter on their own."

Jiang Fei caught the key point: "The shelters are not locked. Aren't you afraid that people with ill intentions will steal supplies?"

"The main door is equipped with an anti-theft alarm. As soon as someone tries to open it, a piercing alarm will sound, which can be heard by half of the Land Base."

"What's more, the shelters are everyone's hope for survival in times of crisis. No one would dare to think of stealing from there."

Zhou Wanqing looked ahead, her voice softening slightly: "After experiencing aimless wandering, no one wants to destroy this hard-won new home."

"Now, the number of survivors in the Land Base has exceeded 500,000, and this does not even include the number of official and military personnel."

"In a while, our family will expand the Land Base, striving to establish neighboring provinces and restore the civilized society of the pre-apocalyptic era."

Jiang Fei and the others felt a sense of pride.

Look, this is the strength of their family!

While chatting, they arrived at the Administration Bureau in the Central District.

Zhou Wanqing drove back to the entrance and exit for work, while Jiang Fei and the other three entered with the gray wolf.

Because of its large size and the possibility of danger, the gray wolf was left in the guardroom.

The others, led by a guard, arrived at Director Ning's office.

Director Ning was sitting at his desk, looking at documents.

When he saw that the people who came in were Jiang Fei and her companions, he immediately stood up.

"When did you all return?!" Director Ning excitedly asked the four of them to sit down and sent a guard to invite the Leader over.

Immediately, he poured a glass of water for each of them.

"As soon as we arrived at the Land Base, we came to report on our work."

Jiang Fei took the water glass that Director Ning handed her, and then suddenly heard him ask in a low voice.

"Why didn't you come back for the past six months?"

"If it weren't for the fact that I could see the signals appearing in various logistics warehouses through the instrument, I would have thought something had happened to you."

"I ran out of items," Jiang Fei explained in a low voice.

She had used three Teleportation Talismans when she took Xiao Hua Lao to see Aunt Xiao and Uncle Xiao.

She only had one left, and if she returned to the Land Base, she wouldn't be able to go back to her team.

Director Ning expressed understanding, his gaze falling on Jiang Fei's head, a look of confusion in his eyes:

"You went out, why is your hair gone?"

Jiang Fei: "...It was inconvenient to wash my hair outside, so I shaved it."

Please let go of her hair problem!

Just then, the sound of a door opening was heard.

It was the Leader.

Jiang Fei and the other three stood up and saluted.

The Leader raised his hand in return: "Comrades, you have worked hard."

"Welcome home."

As the captain, Jiang Fei was responsible for explaining the progress of the mission and the fact that An Province had suffered a meteor shower, and Yan Tianjie and Zhu Xiaowu were injured.

After listening, the Leader said:

"It's fine if the warehouse in An Province is gone. The most important thing is that you all returned safely."

The Leader took out six Huaxia Red cards from his jacket pocket.

The front of each card had the national flag representing Huaxia.

The back had the names of Jiang Fei and her companions.

"These are the passes currently used by the Land Base, and also points cards."

"Each card has 10,000 points, which is enough for you to use in the Land Base."

"Lao Ning and I prepared them for you a long time ago, just waiting for your return to hand them over to you."

"Little Jiang, please hand over Tian Jie and Xiao Wu's points cards."

"Tonight at 8 PM, I will hold a celebration banquet for you in the Administration Bureau's cafeteria."

"Yes." Jiang Fei accepted the points cards.

According to the names on the back, she first gave Lu Yu and the other two theirs.

"Chairman, how should we deal with the wolf we brought back?"

"Since you saved it, it belongs to you," the Leader said with a smile:

"It can also be considered a member of the Newborn Squad."

"You can go to the Agricultural Park to collect food to feed the gray wolf."

Jiang Fei and the other three were happy.

After all, the gray wolf had accompanied them for nearly a year, and they had already developed feelings for it.

Now that they didn't have to send it away, they were naturally happy.

Director Ning: "Qian Yao, I'll have the guards send you and Lu Yu back to rest."

"Little Jiang, you stay."

After Xu Qianyao and the others left, the Leader also went back to continue handling official duties.

Jiang Fei then took Director Ning's car to the newly built supplies warehouse in the northern district of the Land Base.

It had a total of three floors, and its area was so vast that it was completely endless.

Director Ning had already had the guards leave, and Jiang Fei confidently took out the Huaxia supplies from the Supermarket warehouse.

They just filled the supplies warehouse in the northern district.

Boxes of manifests and record books were placed separately by Jiang Fei in a corner.

"Director, those boxes contain the manifests from various logistics warehouses, as well as the record books of the supplies I used to help survivors return home over the past six months."

Jiang Fei took out three more large boxes: "Here are the meteorite fragments I picked up in An Province. They can be given to the Research Institute for study later."

Actually, there were 4 boxes of meteorite fragments.

She kept one box for her own collection.

Director Ning was exasperated: "An Province was so dangerous, and you were still thinking about bringing things home. You child, I really don't know what to say about you."

"But there's something I need to tell you."

"Two-thirds of the survivors who returned from Xi Province died." Director Ning sighed:

"The impact of nuclear pollution is too severe. We currently don't have the technology to treat it. We can only let them have a full meal before they die, so they don't suffer so much pain."

Jiang Fei felt a little uneasy.

She still remembered the light in their eyes before those people set off.

That was a yearning for life.

"How is the research project at Li Family Village in Xi Province progressing?"

Director Ning: "It failed, but not long ago, someone from there came back to retrieve supplies and reported to me that they had found a new breakthrough."

"If all goes well, there will be good news within a year."

"I gave Brother Gu a medicine that randomly dropped in my space. It is said to cure all diseases, and I lied to them that I got it from a logistics warehouse."

"If Li Family Village asks about it, please help me keep it a secret, Director. Just say that the person in charge there couldn't be found, and there's no specific prescription."

"Okay." Director Ning readily agreed.

"Oh, by the way, Little Jiang, the Leader and I have prepared a gift for you, as a thank you for what you've done for the Land Base and the survivors."

Director Ning took Jiang Fei to a small house behind the supplies warehouse.

Hundreds of wooden boxes were placed inside.

Jiang Fei casually opened one.

The box contained gold nuggets of various sizes.

"These are all the gold that the Land Base could find. Don't dislike the small amount."

"I won't." Jiang Fei put all the boxes into the Supermarket.
