The boss of the apocalypse travels back to the 1970s with space
Chapter 497 New Challenges
The glass plank road looks like broken walls and ruins, only one tenth of it remains.
The cars parked in the yard were turned over in a mess and piled up in the corner like garbage. More than a dozen cars disappeared, and no one knew where they were blown to by the wind.
Half of the courtyard wall collapsed, and almost all the windows on the exterior wall of the entire office building were gone, and the inside was in a mess.
The destructive power is really too great.
The canteen chef called and said that the road was cluttered with stuff and he couldn't get over in a short time.
So, Xia Meng asked Wang Wenna to take two people to the convenience store to buy some food and water for everyone. If anyone had something to do at home, they could ask for leave to go home. If anyone had nothing to do at home, they had to start working.
In the end, two people asked for leave due to family accidents, and the rest all stayed.
During this period, Xia Meng received a call from her superior, asking her to quickly carry out disaster relief work, count the losses and the number of people affected, actively contact various departments to carry out disaster relief, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
Wang Wenna went to several stores before she bought some bread and water.
After everyone finished their meal, Xia Meng started assigning tasks to people in groups of three.
Xia Meng led Wang Wenna out of the office building.
There will be special people to repair the office building, so Xia Meng doesn't need to worry, after all, it is public property.
Xia Meng led Wang Wenna out of the compound and saw that the streets were even more chaotic.
The spacious streets were littered with garbage, including broken glass, broken flowers and trees, messily piled up cars, and other garbage. The entire street was completely impassable for driving, but it was still possible to walk.
The traffic department has begun to clear the roads and the fire department is also actively carrying out disaster relief.
Xia Meng and Wang Wenna came to a nearby community called Xingfu Community.
Xia Meng and Wang Wenna first walked around outside the community and saw that more than half of the community's outer walls had been damaged, and more than half of the glass plank road inside the community was also damaged.
This community is an old one. Before the natural disaster, the security guard at the gate was an old man in his sixties, and the management of entry and exit to the community was not very strict. But since the end of the world after the natural disaster, social security has deteriorated a lot, and two more security guards have been added, and the management of entry and exit to the community has become much stricter.
The security guard was relatively young, probably in his forties. When he saw Xia Meng, he did not step forward to stop her, but greeted her with a smile.
"District Chief Xia, are you here to inspect our community again?"
Xia Meng smiled and nodded, "Master Sun, how is the situation in your community?"
Master Sun sighed and shook his head. "The car is broken, the doors and windows are broken, but it's still a small matter. There is a crack in a building in our community. How can we live here in the future?"
"It's cracked?" Xia Meng was surprised. "I'll go take a look."
"Hey," Master Sun pointed in the direction for Xia Meng, "District Chief Xia, it's over there. Go to the end of this road and turn right and you will see it."
"Okay," Xia Meng thanked him and walked in the direction Master Sun pointed.
Along the way, Xia Meng saw that almost everyone in the community had come out. Some were looking for their electric bikes, some were looking for their cars, and some saw that their cars broke down, and they were overwhelmed with grief and shed tears silently.
More people were discussing how to repair the damaged doors and windows.
Xia Meng quickly walked to the cracked residential building.
The building is seven stories high and has no elevator. The walls are cracked and tilted, and it is obviously uninhabitable.
At this time, the residents had already come out and were looking at the residential building in front of them with worry.
Most of these people are young and middle-aged people. Due to natural disasters in recent years, the elderly have the highest number of deaths, followed by children. In addition, due to the continuous natural disasters in recent years, there are also very few newborns.
Some elderly people among these people looked at their own houses and kept wiping away tears.
Some children were held in their parents' arms, with anxiety written all over their faces.
Because Xia Meng often went to the grassroots to inspect, many people knew Xia Meng. When they saw Xia Meng, they gathered around her.
"District Chief, our house... woo woo," she couldn't help but burst into tears before she finished speaking.
"What can we do next?"
"Yes, District Chief, where should we live in the future?"
The price of renting a house is not low now. Life is already difficult, and if they have to pay an additional rent expense for no reason, their lives will only become more difficult.
Facing everyone's concerns, Xia Meng hurriedly comforted them.
"Don't worry, everyone. I know your difficulties. Please fill out a form and I will report your situation. After the leaders finish the meeting, I will give you a solution."
"Don't worry, I promise I won't let you sleep on the streets."
Hearing Xia Meng's assurance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the anxiety and worry in their eyes dissipated a little.
If someone else made this guarantee, they might not believe it, but if it was Xia Meng, then they would believe it!
Xia Meng walked around the surrounding communities, big and small, and gained a general understanding of the conditions in these communities.
After lunch, Xia Meng went to a meeting.
After returning, Xia Meng immediately called the heads of the property management committees of each community to a meeting.
The house is cracked, tilted, and collapsed. Two solutions are given above:
One plan is that the government will arrange a place for them to live, and the area of the place will not be smaller than the house they live in now. It will be considered a replacement. In the future, the house will be theirs, but they will automatically give up the house in the community.
The only bad thing is that the location of the arranged community is probably not as good as the current one.
The second plan is: first arrange a place for them to live, and then the residents and the government each pay half of the money, and the government is responsible for rebuilding houses for them.
In other words, the government bears half of the cost of building the house.
These two plans are the best the government can think of at the moment. After all, there have been constant natural disasters in recent years and the government has little money. It is already very responsible for the government to take the initiative to bear half of the cost.
Many people are reluctant to leave here, after all, it has a superior geographical location and is located in the city center.
But many people cannot afford the half of the money to build a house.
Some people can take out money but dare not use it. After all, it is hard to find a job now. If they take out all their savings, what will they eat and drink if they lose their job?
So, in the end, most people chose replacement!
A small number of people chose to pay half of the money and build a new house.
The new houses will still have seven floors and will be equipped with elevators. Except for those allocated to residents who receive money, the rest of the houses will be government property.
In the area under Xia Meng's jurisdiction, there are more than 200 households of disaster victims who need to be relocated, and the government has to arrange accommodation for them.
The city center is definitely not an option, but there are quite a few empty houses in the suburbs, and one area is even a famous ghost town.
The development companies of these communities went bankrupt soon. Although the houses have been built, many of them are not decorated.
Therefore, the government was responsible for the renovation, which was relatively simple and quick, and the victims moved in one after another.
But it is clear that this will not be the only hurricane, this is just the beginning.
The leaders have also come to a clear understanding and no longer hold out for luck, and have begun to prepare for various disasters that they may face in the future.
Soon, half a month later, the second hurricane came.
This time the hurricane had stronger winds and lasted all day.
After it was over, Xia Meng helplessly discovered that the loss this time was even greater than last time.
Many residential buildings have cracked and tilted, and more and more refugees need to be accommodated.
The place where the refugees were accommodated last time has been reopened, and each disaster household has been given a tent so that everyone can live in it first and wait for further arrangements.
Xia Meng was in the disaster relief area at this time.
Xia Meng helped set up tents, distribute food and daily necessities, etc., and was busy until the evening.
By the time all the disaster victims were resettled, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening. Xia Meng hadn't even had dinner yet. She was so hungry that her stomach kept growling.
The road had not been cleared yet and Xia Meng could not drive home, so she planned to stay at a disaster relief site for one night.
Xia Meng returned to her tent and said to Wang Wenna who was following her,
"You've been tired all day, go back and rest."
Wang Wenna nodded, "Okay, my tent is next to yours, call me if you need anything."
Xia Meng, "Okay," Wang Wenna turned and left.
After a while, Xia Meng walked to the outside of Wang Wenna's tent, "Wenna?"
Wang Wenna came out immediately, "District Chief, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Xia Meng handed the things in her hand to Wang Wenna, "I brought some food with me. You didn't eat dinner, are you hungry?"
Wang Wenna took a look at the things in her hand. There was a bottle of clean mineral water, a sandwich, a ham, and a piece of chocolate.
"District Head?" Wang Wenna was somewhat touched. "Keep it for yourself."
"I still have some," Xia Meng smiled at Wang Wenna, "After eating, go to bed early."
Wang Wenna, "Okay!"
In the middle of the night, Xia Meng was sleeping when she suddenly heard faint crying sounds.
Xia Meng was half asleep and half awake when she suddenly heard crying. She thought she was still dreaming, but the next moment, she was suddenly awakened and opened her eyes.
After Xia Meng woke up, she lay still on the bed, listening carefully with her eyes open;
"Woooo..."
The suppressed sobs were intermittent.
That is to say, Xia Meng's hearing is very good, so she can hear it very clearly. If it were someone else, they would probably not be able to hear it.
The crying sound was not far from her tent. Xia Meng got up quietly and walked out of the tent.
There were lights on outside, but they could only illuminate a small area around, and most of the resettlement site was shrouded in darkness.
Each tent was equipped with a lamp, but it was already three o'clock in the morning and everyone was asleep, so naturally most of the lights were turned off.
Xia Meng followed the sound and came quietly to the outside of a tent.
The woman's crying came from inside.
Xia Meng listened carefully and heard the breathing sounds of three people. In addition to the woman, there was a man with heavy breathing, and a person... who was breathing very lightly. He should be a child who was already asleep.
Xia Meng doesn’t know what the relationship between this man and woman is?
At this moment, a man's threatening voice came from inside.
"Don't cry anymore. If you wake everyone up, I will tell them that you seduced me."
"I'm a man, I'm not afraid of gossip, but you're a woman!"
"Your husband died not long ago, and you hooked up with other men. Then... Haha, even if you don't care, don't forget that you still have a son."
The woman's crying became even more miserable.
The man's threat seemed to work.
It turns out they are not husband and wife.
Xia Meng quietly opened the tent and went in.
I saw a sturdy man holding a woman down...
The man was so engrossed in his work that he didn't notice at all that there was suddenly another person in the tent.
Xia Meng leaned over, grabbed the man's hair and lifted him up.
While Xia Meng lifted the man up, she also turned on the light.
The dim tent suddenly became bright. The man was startled and reached out to pry Xia Meng's hand away. "Who?!!"
When the light came on, the woman quickly pulled the quilt next to her and covered herself with it, with her head lowered, looking aggrieved and scared, not daring to see anyone.
Xia Meng grabbed the man's hair very hard. The man grimaced in pain and felt that his scalp was about to be lifted off by the woman in front of him.
"Let go! Let go!"
Xia Meng thought the man was noisy and slapped him hard in the face.
The man screamed "wow" and spat out a mouthful of blood. Half of his face swelled up quickly and his head was buzzing with pain, as if all his brains had been beaten out by Xia Meng's slap.
After a moment, the man shook his head and shouted angrily at Xia Meng,
"You dare to hit me?" He was about to fight back, but was easily kicked down by Xia Meng.
After the man was kicked down, he lay on the ground, holding his stomach, unable to even scream in pain.
The noise in the tent had alarmed the people around. They turned on the lights and walked out with confused looks on their faces.
The woman's clothes were torn and thrown on the ground.
Xia Meng asked softly, "Are you okay? Do you have any clothes left? Put them on first."
The woman looked at Xia Meng gratefully and said tremblingly, "Yes, I still have clothes."
At this time, the sleeping child was also awakened.
The woman quickly took out clothes from the bag beside her and put them on. She picked up the crying child next to her and comforted him gently.
Xia Meng grabbed the man by the back of his collar and dragged him out of the tent.
Seeing Xia Meng dragging a man like a dead dog, the people around came forward to ask,
"District Chief, who is this?"
"This man?"
Everyone looked at the man and then at the tent.
Xia Meng had a cold face and a somewhat cold tone.
"This beast took advantage of everyone's sleep in the middle of the night to bully orphans and widows."
When the onlookers heard this, they immediately became excited.
"What? You're such a beast!"
"You are worse than a beast!"
"Yeah, the life of an orphan and a widow is miserable enough, how dare you bully them?"
"This kind of person is disgusting!"
Xia Meng waited until everyone had cursed enough before she said, "I'll call the police and have them take this man away." Then she glanced at the tent with concern.
"Please take care of each other from now on. We are all compatriots. We are in trouble now. It is not easy for everyone. We should unite and overcome the difficulties together. If anyone dares to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, don't blame me for being rude!"
