At around eleven o'clock in the evening, when the temperature outside was not that high, several people got out of the car and continued to clean the road.

Wang Wang!

After a while, Tangyuan, who was standing nearby on guard, called twice in one direction.

Hearing the cry of glutinous rice balls, everyone stopped moving.

Soon, two soldiers carrying tools came out from the corner. The plague had not spread here in Jiangcheng, so neither of them wore masks.

Seeing a group of people looking at them warily, he introduced himself:

"Hello, we are soldiers stationed at the temporary stronghold in Jiangcheng. My name is Ye Wei, and his name is Zhao Lei. Are we a little late?"

After hearing that it was the soldier who said he was coming to help yesterday, everyone lowered their guard.

As they approached, Han Ying found that the lips of the two soldiers were extremely chapped. It seemed that the base commander did not leave much water behind when they left.

But presumably, they came in armored vehicles.

Han Ying had seen that car before, and it wasn't very big.

An armored vehicle needs to carry more than a dozen people, weapons, and tools, and there are not many places to hold food and water.

On the way back, some food and water should be left for those returning, so there shouldn't be many people left.

"It turned out to be Chief Xiao Ye and Chief Xiao Zhao. We just got out of the car and started cleaning up."

Han Ying saw them both bringing their own tools, two shovels, a chainsaw and a big crowbar.

"Wow, your car!"

Seeing the car next to a few people, the two soldiers gave a thumbs up.

No wonder they were able to walk all the way from Pengcheng to here.

With a car like this, it’s really no problem.

"With this car, we still have to come down and clear the road..."

Lu Yuanyuan raised the electric saw in his hand. He had just been sawing a tree blocking the road.

"That's true. If we hadn't changed our base, you wouldn't have had to go to such trouble. I'm sorry."

Ye Wei put on his labor protection gloves, picked up the shovel they brought and started to help clean up.

"What do you mean by this? If the tree is moved, it will die, and if the person is moved, it will live. If not, will it be left to wait for death?"

Han Ying rolled the wooden pile that Lu Yuan cut off with a chainsaw to the side of the road.

That temporary stronghold was previously chosen by the director of Ke Zin Base. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't stay there any longer, how could the two of them change it.

After Han Ying finished rolling two sections of wooden stakes, she turned to He Xiu who was carrying a crumbling sofa with Wu Tingfang:

"Aunt He, let me do it. Everyone has been cleaning up for a long time and we are all thirsty. You can go to the car and take down the pot of chrysanthemum tea we made just now and drink it."

Hearing Han Ying's words, He Xiu put down the sofa he was carrying, nodded and walked towards the RV.

Han Ying did make a pot of chrysanthemum tea just now, and it is now freezing in the refrigerator.

When they heard the chrysanthemum tea, the two soldiers couldn't help but swallow the non-existent saliva.

The base director and the others actually left some water behind when they returned, but on the day they were surrounded by stray animals, most of the water was destroyed by those animals.

There is not much water left.

The two of them also looked for water everywhere, but they couldn't find it at all.

So I could only rely on the remaining water to hold on.

He Xiu came down with a large pot of chrysanthemum tea and a frame with some cups.

"I'm dying of thirst."

Seeing He Xiu coming down, Han Ying took the kettle directly from her hand and poured a small cup for everyone.

"Hey, I'm sorry, there aren't enough cups. How about you put it in a kettle and drink it?"

Han Ying just saw that two soldiers were carrying an aluminum military water bottle.

"No, no, you can drink. We brought our own water."

When Ye Wei heard that Han Ying was about to pour water for them, he quickly patted the kettle on his back and said.

But in fact, only the two of them knew that there were only two cups of water in the kettle, which was the amount of water they had today.

"Chief Xiaoye, what you mean is that you two watch us drink? Then you are thirsty and help us smooth the road?"

Han Ying had an expression on her face that said if this happens, you should just go back.

"Huh? We're not thirsty... We didn't mean it..."

Hearing Han Ying's words, the two soldiers waved their hands.

"In that case..."

Han Ying stretched out her hand towards the two of them and motioned for them to bring the kettle over.

"Just a little bit will do."

Ye Wei glanced at Zhao Lei next to him, and both of them took off the water bottle and handed it over.

Han Ying took the two kettles and turned her back.

I poured in all the remaining chrysanthemum tea, just enough to fill two military kettles.

The two soldiers took the kettle and felt the heavy weight inside. They looked embarrassed and said, "Isn't it enough to just say a little bit about this?"

"Today's task is heavy, let's get started?"

Han Ying did not answer the two soldiers, handed the pot to He Xiu, and said to the others.

Ye Wei and Zhao Lei looked at each other, then put the water bottles on their backs again and began to work hard to help level the road.

With the addition of two soldiers, the speed has increased.

There is indeed a big difference between professionals and amateurs.

After cleaning for more than three hours, they finally arrived at their temporary stronghold before dawn.

There is a community next to Boji Bridge, with three buildings that have not collapsed.

The three remaining buildings are not high, with only a dozen floors remaining.

The top few layers were severely damaged, but the lower half was fine.

However, it is very rare to survive tsunamis and earthquakes.

"Previously, our base was located behind Wanda. There were several buildings there where people could live, but unfortunately it was occupied by stray animals. We had no choice but to move here."

After Ye Wei got off the car, he pointed in the direction of Wanda and told everyone what happened before.

The RV is parked under an awning that was built when we moved here.

"It's pretty good here. I think there are many houses nearby that can be lived in."

Wu Tingfang led Lei Yuhang out of the car. They had just been in the car to look at the situation around here.

"That's right. We live on the fifth floor. If you are willing, you can live in the same building with us. If not, you can also live in the two buildings next door."

"We patrol the neighborhood every day to make sure there are no stray animals hiding, so you don't have to worry even if you don't live in the same building as us."

Zhao Lei pointed to the two corridors next to him.

It turns out that when there were still 6 of them, 4 of them would take turns going out to explore the city every day.

By the way, look for existing wells so that they can be dug later when the army comes.

But since the two of them were left, these tasks became difficult.

The two of them had to ensure that they could survive safely before they could do other jobs.

So during this period, they actually had a difficult time.

The two of them even thought that they might not be able to hold on and transfer the base.

"Then let's live in the building next door. We also live on the fifth floor. That way, if something happens, we can hear it by shouting from the balcony."

They had discussed this before, and they wanted to live close to the official people, but at a certain distance.

So living in the building next door is the best choice.

"Okay, what about your car? There is an underground parking lot here, but it's not very satisfactory down there."

Ye Wei asked, looking at their RV.

They also went down to the underground parking lot to have a look.

Because those dark places are more likely to be occupied by stray animals, they must go down and take a look every day when patrolling.

The underground parking lot in this community is relatively well preserved, but it has collapsed in several places.

Those stray animals get in through those collapsed places, making them difficult to guard against.

"Just leave it here for now? Will it affect you?"

Han Ying had just looked around. The three buildings were surrounded by fishing nets she didn't know where, and there were some bells hanging on them.

Presumably it was used to warn stray animals.

As long as an animal touches the fishing net, the bell will ring, so that the animal's approach can be immediately detected.

"No, how could it have any impact? Just let it go."

Ye Wei waved his hand and said.

Glancing at the RV again, he originally wanted to ask if he could help move the luggage, but he realized that their luggage was all supplies.

Although they have no intention of coveting other people's supplies, it is never a good thing to take advantage of other people's supplies.

So after thinking about it, I still haven’t asked.

"Then let's settle down first and call you if anything happens."

After saying that, Lu Yuan got into the RV and moved some of the tools they used to clean the road.

These buildings have experienced tsunamis, and there must be a lot of garbage in the house, so these tools are still needed.

It was almost dawn, so they had to live in this building during the day.

So I have to move some things out of the RV first.

The two soldiers avoided suspicion, and when they saw them starting to move things, they wanted to go back to their residences.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing that they were leaving, Han Ying spoke.

"Is there anything else you need help with?"

Ye Wei stopped and turned around to ask.

"You can take these two boxes of mineral water back with you."

Others began to move things from the RV, and Han Ying opened the access area behind the RV and took out two boxes of mineral water.

"No, absolutely not, we won't accept it."

Ye Wei waved his hands repeatedly. The most lacking thing now is water. Although they are about to run out of water, it is because of this that they cannot collect water from these people.

"Do you think these two boxes of water are expired, so you don't want them?"

Han Ying pushed the mineral water forward.

"How is that possible? And there is no non-expired mineral water now. We still have water ourselves, how can we ask for yours?"

Ye Wei said that he was about to turn around and continue walking to their residence.

"Since you two don't welcome us, let's find another place to stay. But it's almost dawn, where else can we find a safe place to stay?"

Lu Yuan also walked over, saying that he was about to move back the things he had just moved from the car.

"You are not welcome, but the water is too..."

Ye Wei's face showed embarrassment.

If they save some of the two boxes of mineral water, they will definitely be able to hold on until the large army comes over.

But if I really accept the water, I will still feel a little regretful.

"On the way here, we found a convenience store that had not been emptied out and took out more than a dozen boxes of water."

"Don't worry, we have enough to drink."

Lu Yuan came closer and whispered in Ye Wei's ear.
