Chapter 13: Retention
In the crevices around the camp of the shelter, there are several large heating equipment, which are powered by generators collected from nearby, and the temperature of the entire shelter is kept as high as possible.
To Ye Chen's surprise, less than a day after the shelter was established, it contained more than 3,200 survivors who came to take refuge, and the tents and some furniture originally prepared by the official were free to use, but due to the increasing number of people who came later, some people could only use the sleeping bags distributed to rest in the aisles and stairs.
Ye Chen saw that most of the people's faces were more or less blue and purple with frostbite, and at the same time, their faces were yellow, which should be caused by the shortage of food.
But also, the amount of food needed to feed so many people at the same time is a very frightening number, and it is remarkable to be able to solve the basic food and clothing.
When he walked to the tent camp on the side, Li Quan pretended to be mysterious and walked directly in with him.
"This area is full of students and teachers who have come to take refuge from Sichuan University, how about it? Brother Ye Chen, do you know any classmates? Li Quan smiled all over his face, as if he had seen Ye Chen's surprised expression.
When Ye Chen was filling in his personal information, he happened to notice that Ye Chen was a student of Sichuan University, and he thought that the shelter had also had survivors from the same university who had been taken in, so he led him over.
Ye Chen was indeed a little surprised, and as soon as he came in, he saw several familiar figures, Wang Qin from the Music Department, and Mei Xiaorong from the Dance Department...... However, these people all had calm expressions when they saw Ye Chen.
That's right, they haven't had any intersection before, Ye Chen is just a freshman who has just entered the freshman, and there are basically no friends he can meet, and he was still doing odd jobs while making up tuition, so what time does he have to meet people.
Li Quan was a little surprised when he saw Ye Chen's calm expression, and a few people were about to leave after a while, when a fat man pushing an iron cart came over.
"Nest (hot) water, nest water, nest water that can soak noodles and warm up the body, who wants to take a little?" Like a conductor selling snacks on a train, this fat man walks down the aisle in a weird posture with a strong native accent of Mandarin.
Ye Chen had a familiar feeling in his heart, but the fat man was wearing a white mask, and he couldn't tell it for a while.
Until, that strange walking posture made his memories emerge from the depths of his mind.
"Wang, Wang Xiaopang? Are you called Wang Xiaopang? Ye Chen shouted tentatively.
The fat man wearing the mask heard the sound, obviously stunned in place, he turned his head, and his chubby fingers pulled down the mask.
"Are you...... Leaf dust? ”
The familiar fat face made Ye Chen a little surprised, but he didn't expect it to really let him meet his former old friend.
"Fat Wang, I didn't expect it to be you!" Ye Chen walked over and patted the other party's shoulder affectionately, and the fat man gave him a bear hug, and laughed stupidly.
The joy of reunion made the two laugh cheerfully.
"This is my friend Wang Fatzi, a high school classmate, and a partner who has played since childhood......" Ye Chen introduced Fat Man to several people.
Li Quan and the others nodded, and the fat man looked at them wearing military uniforms, which were a little polite.
"By the way, fat man, after graduating from high school, why did he suddenly not contact him, as if he was missing." Ye Chen asked.
"I had a situation at that time, and I forgot about it for a while, sorry......" The fat man touched his head, a little embarrassed.
The two of them said a few words, the fat man still had a task in his body, the time was urgent, and he was responsible for supplying the hot water to the shelter, Ye Chen told him to go to the No. 5 tent camp to find himself after work, and let the fat man leave.
When parting, seeing that the fat man was yellow and thin, and he also looked a little malnourished, he gave him all the small snacks such as beef jerky and braised chicken thighs that he carried with him.
Li Quan continued to lead Ye Chen to familiarize himself with the remaining shelter camp, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to suddenly stop and smile.
"Chief Li, forget the rest, why don't you get straight to the point and confide in what you really want to say?"
cough cough~ Li Quan touched his nose and looked stupid, "Since I was seen through by classmate Ye, then I'm embarrassed." ”
Li Quan said that he wanted Ye Chen to join the fifth emergency rescue team, and as expected, it was indeed this matter.
"I appreciate the kindness of Chief Li and others." Ye Chen politely refused, not to mention that renovating the RV would allow him to roam freely in the last days, and in terms of his habits, it would be difficult to accept the formation and obey orders.
"Student Ye, think about it, it's freezing outside, and the cruelty of sleeping in the open air, compared to the still warm environment here, it's like a heaven and an underground. If you miss it, the road ahead will only get more and more difficult. ”
Li Quan's purpose of pulling people is nothing more than valuing Ye Chen's agile skills and skills, with him joining, the team is like a tiger with wings, and while the team is strong, it can also strive for more rights and treatment.
Another important purpose is that the last mission team damaged too many people, and they urgently needed to add fresh blood, ordinary people have not undergone professional training, and they are only sent to death in the face of disaster beasts, what they need more is an elite like Ye Chen.
"Actually, if you insist that I join, it's not impossible, but you need to change the way." Ye Chen's words changed, and his eyes glowed at Yu Yi and Da Zhuang, who had been following behind the two of them, they were silent, but the rifle they were carrying was eye-catching.
"You want this?" Li Quan saw through it at a glance and said with a wry smile: "That's not for me to have the final say, you must be a full-time soldier and a person with major meritorious service before you can be equipped with a gun......"
"Temporary team members, it should be able to be counted!"
"Then your emergency rescue team fifth team mission, most of them should be rescue survivors, if I help you complete the assigned task, I don't know if it can be regarded as a major meritorious service?"
The meaning of Ye Chen's words is very clear, I don't want to prostitute for nothing, it's okay to go through the procedure, but I don't know if you are willing to give a chance.
Li Quan was entangled, Ye Chen was their life-saving benefactor, and he should repay the favor in both affection and reason, after some thought, he whispered to Ye Chen's ear......
"What? You say he's already out of the Vault camp? ”
In the temporary camp of the fifth squad, Jiang Keqing looked angry, she didn't expect to report the situation to her superiors, and in less than two hours of back and forth, Ye Chenren disappeared.
"Li Quan, you are not very good at talking, why is this time the army is so defeated, you can't even keep people." Although Jiang Keqing is a woman, she still has the majesty she should have on formal occasions.
Li Quan lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, at this time Yu Yi stood up and explained for him, "We were all at the scene at the time, we all know Comrade Li Quan's difficulties, Ye Chen's character is a more free and easy type that doesn't like to be restricted, even if we force him to stay, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep him." ”
