Chapter 20: A Difficult Journey
Sam looked confused: "The day after tomorrow? What the day after tomorrow? ”
"It's an obscure academic term, you won't understand." Hu Ye casually fooled over, patted Sam on the shoulder and said, "Get out of here quickly, who knows if the flood will rise again!" ”
Sam nodded approvingly, and hurriedly got into the car and sat down. After this incident, he admired Hu Ye so much, and felt that his father's colleague was too godly, and his prediction of the flood was so accurate, he was much more powerful than his father.
There was no flood chasing after him, and Hu Ye didn't have to drive so fast, so he handed the phone to Sam and said, "Report your father's safety, and by the way, ask him if the government has arranged for the evacuation of the people." ”
Hu Ye cares about the government's arrangement, of course, not only because he is compassionate, but more concerned about how much impact he can have on the world, which is related to how many experience points he can get.
Sam quickly called his father and said with a heavy expression: "My father said that he is very grateful to you for saving me, and also said that the current situation is very bad, and the sudden flood has caused huge damage. However, the government has accepted his advice and is ready to begin evacuating people from the north. ”
Hu Ye nodded, not knowing what to say. In the face of the rampant nature, human power is insignificant, and it is good to be able to minimize casualties.
The two cars drove along the road, and the terrain became higher and higher, gradually entering the hilly terrain. It was only at this point that he was a little relieved that no matter how serious the flood was, it should not flood here.
The storm never stopped, and although it was only evening, it was already dark. For safety reasons, Hu Ye decided to rest on the side of the road for one night and continue his departure tomorrow.
Because he saved everyone before the flood, Hu Ye's prestige in this small group was very high, and the teachers and students on the bus agreed with his decision. Sam and Laura went back to the bus, apparently preferring to be with their classmates.
Hu Ye didn't care about this, he saved people just for experience points, not to make friends with the other party.
Compared to a cramped bus, the living area at the back of the cab is spacious and comfortable, and there is even a microwave oven for the driver to eat a hot meal.
Hu Ye watched the news while eating, and found that the reality was worse than in the movie. Not only are the floods greater, but the effects of bad weather are also more widespread, and many areas that are not mentioned in the movie have also suffered.
Hu Ye, who was full of stomachs, wanted to contact Dominic, but the phone couldn't get through, and he didn't know what happened to these old guys.
Hu Ye was silent for a moment, then took some food and water from behind and brought it to Sam and Laura. These two are important people, Hu Ye hopes that they will live well, so naturally he can't starve them.
As soon as he got off the truck, Hu Ye couldn't help but shiver. It's unusual that the temperature outside has dropped significantly, and it's so cold in the tropics.
In order to save gasoline, the bus has long been turned off, and the car is cold enough. Many students were leaning together and shivering, and an atmosphere of despair permeated the carriage. Everyone witnessed the power of the flood and feared for their families and their future.
Hu Ye called Sam out of the car and handed him the things in his hand: "This is water and food." ”
"Thank you!" Sam hurriedly thanked Hu Ye, but was soon stunned: "So little? It's not enough for everyone! ”
Hu Ye laughed and said, "It's just for you and Laura." ”
Sam couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”
"Because you're Professor Hall's son, and Laura is your friend." Hu Ye said solemnly: "As for the others, I have no obligation to take care of them. ”
Although Sam felt that Hu Ye was wrong to do this, he couldn't refute it, and held back for a while before asking him, "Can I give these to others?" ”
"It's yours if it's given to you, whatever you want." Hu Ye shrugged his shoulders and went back to the collection card.
Hu Ye only needs to save Sam and Laura's lives, and if they want to ask for their own hardships, Hu Ye is too lazy to meddle. Anyway, tomorrow we will be able to go to the town in front of us, and by then these students should be able to find something to eat, and they will not be able to die of hunger for a day.
However, not long after Hu Ye returned to the truck, Sam came over and asked him embarrassedly, "Can you give us some more water and food?" ”
Hu Ye was laughed at by this childishness, and couldn't help but ask him: "What, do you treat me as a charity?" ”
Sam hurriedly explained: "I asked for it for those injured classmates, and the weather was cold, and they had a hard time. ”
Hu Ye pondered for a moment, nodded to Sam and said, "Wait a minute." ”
Hu Ye quickly brought a little food and water, as well as some commonly used medicines and a few blankets, all of which were stuffed into Sam's hand: "Take it, let everyone hold on, there is a small town not far ahead, we can get there tomorrow, and then we don't have to worry!" ”
Sam nodded gratefully and strode back to the bus.
Hu Ye soon heard a burst of cheers in the bus, and couldn't help laughing. On the premise of not affecting his own survival, he doesn't mind helping others. This has nothing to do with experience, it is purely to make yourself feel at ease.
Hu Ye had a good night, but those students suffered a lot. The night was even colder, and many people were so cold that they couldn't sleep, so they had to sit and wait for dawn.
After daybreak, Sam received some water and food from Hu Ye, but he gave it to the others as usual. Hu Ye didn't stop him, and soon led everyone to set off for the town.
Although the temperature is still very low, the rain has stopped for a day and a night, which is a good sign. However, everyone's good mood did not last long, and the bus broke down after not driving far.
Of course, there were not so many people sitting on the truck, Hu Ye said helplessly: "Sam and Laura get in the car, and the others can only walk!" ”
Sam exclaimed, "I'm not going to get in the car, let Laura and the injured man get in the car!" ”
Laura shook her head slightly, indicating that she would not be in the car either, preferring to walk with the others.
If it weren't for Sam and Laura being important people in this world, Hu Ye would really be too lazy to care about them. However, for the sake of experience, he could only agree to Sam's arrangement.
However, Hu Ye reluctantly agreed, but he didn't expect others to have opinions, and a student named Mike asked him loudly: "Your car is so big, why can't you let us sit it?" ”
Hu Ye replied lightly: "Because the car is full of goods, there is no place to treat people." ”
Mike complained, "Are those goods more important than us big living people?" ”
Hu Ye took a deep look at this guy and replied very calmly: "You're right! ”
