Chapter Ninety-Six: Lobbying
Zhao Ying was naturally not in the mood to joke with Gu Hongchen now, she took her mother's notebook and began to flip through it, the things recorded on it were relatively trivial.
Roughly speaking, it is written about the fear of the end times at the beginning of the disaster, and then the thoughts of Zhao Ying, as well as the fact that Zhao Ying's father ventured out to close the door of the unit, and then cleaned up the corpses in the stairwell with a few surviving neighbors in the unit.
Zhao Ying didn't read it very quickly, she read every page between the lines very carefully, for fear of pulling down some important clues, and sure enough, a familiar name soon appeared in the notebook.
At the same time, Zhao Ying also read out loud: "Dongchen Public Security Bureau?!" ”
It turns out that on the last few pages of the notebook, it is mentioned that after the miracle appeared, the bold residents of the community slowly came out of their homes and gathered, at first they wanted to strengthen the defense of the community, but soon a team of heavily armed sheriffs from the Dongchen Public Security Bureau asked them to assemble and evacuate the city.
This matter was quickly decided under the negotiation of the two Star Soul Warriors, so the survivors of the Azure Community followed the instructions of the sheriffs and evacuated with all the supplies.
Zhao Ying looked at the handwriting left by her mother on the last line of the notebook, and her tears suddenly flowed out uncontrollably.
"May you see this diary, my dear daughter, forgive your parents for not being able to look for you, and hope you can be safe and sound, love your mother!"
"Cheer up, we'll go back to the Dongchen Public Security Bureau now, the charcoal fire in the kitchen hasn't been extinguished yet, they shouldn't have gone far, we have a chance to catch up!" Gu Hongchen took the notebook and said after reading it.
"We took a shortcut from the west gate and came directly through the shadows, since we didn't meet them, then they must have started from the north gate and walked around the moat!" Gu Hongchen said that he was about to pull Zhao Ying out of the door.
"You're right, let's go!" Zhao Ying took a deep breath again, regained her spirits and nodded at Gu Hongchen.
Then the two walked out of the door one after the other, and before leaving, Zhao Ying once again looked back and took a deep look at the ideas in the room, wanting to imprint this picture firmly in his mind.
At the same time, Gu Hongchen, who had already gone out, looked at the opposite door, with a struggling look in his eyes.
Just as Gu Hongchen made up his mind to leave, he was pulled by Zhao Ying behind him.
At this time, Zhao Ying's eyes also flashed with a complicated expression, but she finally spoke: "Go and clean up the relics of your uncle and aunt!" I'll wait for you! ”
Gu Hongchen glanced at Zhao Ying deeply, nodded without pretentiousness, turned around and took out the key to open the door of his house, he skillfully turned out the things left by his parents, and put them into the storage space with a wave of his hand.
If he leaves this time, he may not be able to come back next time, if he leaves like this, Gu Hongchen is afraid that he will leave a pimple in his heart in the future.
Although Gu Hongchen's movements were not slow, it still took nearly ten minutes to come out of the room again, and he also scanned the room with his eyes like Zhao Ying before turning around and slamming the door shut.
Zhao Ying didn't speak, she just looked at Gu Hongchen, and it happened that Gu Hongchen was also looking at her, for a while, the two of them looked at each other and saw reluctance in each other's eyes, and then the two of them nodded at the same time, then turned around and went downstairs to open the unit door and leave.
Now that they know the situation in the community, the two of them let go of their speed and rode their bicycles, and in a blink of an eye they came from the east side to the north gate, where the gate was really open, and there were many torn food packaging bags scattered on the ground.
Zhao Ying glanced at it and said, "There are quite a few survivors in our community!" ”
"In the community, they are all detached households, most of them have installed anti-theft windows, and there are basically food reserves at home, so it is actually much easier to survive than we are in school!" Gu Hongchen also looked around and said.
As they spoke, the two of them rode their bicycles and quickly left the Azure Community, making a detour in the direction of the moat towards the Dongchen Security Bureau.
Due to the fact that the corpses in the scattered shadows that passed along the way were all dealt with, Gu Hongchen and Zhao Ying, who were riding bicycles, were not slow, but unfortunately they never caught up with the team of survivors in the Azure Community.
This sense of loss has lasted until the two of them returned to the Dongchen Security Bureau, and there was nothing here, not even Song Qingxi.
"Ahh Why is this happening? Zhao Ying, who had chased after her all the way with hope, suddenly couldn't bear it.
"There is only one possibility of this happening in time, and that is when we left here, the survivors of the Teal community returned!" Gu Hongchen said helplessly.
Fate is always so impermanent, if they had chosen to take care of Song Qingxi here for a while at that time, maybe they would not have missed Zhao Ying's parents.
Now that there is such a delay, Gu Hongchen can't even tell where they are going.
"What now? My heart is so upset! Won't I ever see them again! Zhao Ying said with some collapse.
"No, don't be discouraged, we still have a way!" Gu Hongchen reached out and grabbed Zhao Ying's shoulders and said.
Zhao Ying raised his head and looked at Gu Hongchen deeply in the light of the miracle, although his bare head now looked funny, but this guy with no hair and no eyebrows was still the boy he trusted and relied on.
"We go back to the school, and since there is a sheriff evacuation in the Teal community, then things are going like we expected, and there will definitely be other sheriffs to evacuate the survivors of our school, so that we know the evacuation route arranged by the sheriff's office."
"I'm sure you'll meet your parents there!" Gu Hongchen looked at Zhao Ying and analyzed with her.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, we'll go back to school now!" Zhao Ying's heart was very confused, and she nodded and agreed without thinking about it.
However, Gu Hongchen knew in his heart that even if he knew the meeting place of the retreat, he was afraid that it would not be easy to find it at that time, after all, Luo Cheng currently had more than 50,000 survivors in a conservative estimate all day.
One can imagine how difficult it will be to find someone at that time, but now Gu Hongchen has no good way, so he can only take one step at a time.
Gu Hongchen and Zhao Ying, who were in the air at the Dongchen Public Security Bureau, now have no choice but to go home, and both ride bicycles in the direction of the school.
Although there were no more troubles along the way, the distance from the city to the school was still a bit long, and the two of them rode bicycles for another hour before returning to Tianluo University of Economics.
Although he encountered some things and experienced some twists and turns when he returned to the city this time, it actually didn't take too long to count the round-trip journey, which was about five or six hours, which was much faster than Gu Hongchen had expected.
However, when Gu Hongchen and Zhao Ying rode their bicycles past the damaged school gate and drove towards the supermarket, they found Nie Yuan, Li Mingli and Shi Qingyang talking to three uniformed sheriffs at the entrance of the supermarket.
Gu Hongchen and Zhao Ying riding bicycles also attracted the attention of everyone talking here, Nie Yuan, Li Mingli, and Shi Qingyang showed surprise on their faces at the same time, they didn't expect these two people to come back at such a good time, and the three sheriffs on the opposite side looked at the two bicycles that were coming, and their eyes also showed surprise.
After all, even if there is a shroud of God's brilliance now, it is still very dangerous outside, and these two young people can ride out and come back naturally have some strength, and it seems that the overall strength of the University of Economics will have to be re-estimated.
"What's wrong? Who are these three? Gu Hongchen parked his bicycle and walked over with Zhao Ying and asked.
"Hello, we are from the Tianluo Public Security Bureau, looking at the two extraordinary behaviors, they must not be abnormal people, or Star Soul Warriors, I don't know if I want to join the Public Security Bureau!" The sheriff at the head looked at Gu Hongchen and Zhao Ying and opened his mouth to pull in.
"Joining the Security Bureau, not only will you get enough supplies, but each Alien or Star Soul Warrior can bring five family members or friends to be protected by the security team, and you don't need to worry about their safety during the battle!" The sheriff saw that Gu Hongchen and Zhao Ying didn't react, so he continued.
It's just that I didn't expect that when I heard the words family members, Zhao Ying's face suddenly changed, and she waved her hand at Gu Hongchen and said, "I'm a little tired, go and rest first, you can deal with it here!" ”
Although Nie Yuan, Shi Qingyang and Li Mingli didn't know what was going on, they only saw Gu Hongchen and Zhao Ying come back and understood that things were not going well.
"Yes, go ahead!" Gu Hongchen stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Ying on the shoulder and said.
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the sheriff and asked, "Are there any restrictions on joining the Sheriff's Bureau?" Or is there anything to obey? ”
"Actually, there are no special restrictions, but it must be more organized and disciplined than now, and our security bureau is on the same level as the army outside the city, even if it meets with the army at that time, there will be a place for our security bureau, believe that joining the security bureau is the best choice." The sheriff saw that Gu Hongchen was a little moved, so he patiently lobbied.
"I'm sorry, sheriff, our Tianluo University of Economics is low, and there are still many ordinary people who live and die together to protect, I really can't accept your kindness!" After Gu Hongchen roughly analyzed the information, he politely rejected the sheriff's proposal.
"I understand your feelings, but your mind is too narrow, your strength in school is only an individual, how many classmates can you protect on your own?"
"But if you join the Sheriff's Bureau, your power will merge into a whole, and you will exert your power to protect all the citizens, isn't this more noble and great!" The sheriff did not give up because of Gu Hongchen's refusal, but persuaded him more emotionally.
"I'm really not that great, I only know that if the power of our school is weak, then the materials we have now, as well as those beautiful students, will become the target of the gangsters." Gu Hongchen shook his head and said.
