Chapter 140 In the name of rescue
The next morning, everyone set out again. From time to time, they encountered survivors in twos and threes asking for help.
However, Leng Tian and his party did not dwell too much this time. They just observed for a moment and told the survivors that they still had a mission and could not take everyone with them. They asked the survivors to walk along the road to the official experimental base, where they would Take everyone in.
Seeing that they had figured it out, Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han felt much relieved. To be honest, if something really happened, it would be impossible to ignore it at all, so just take care of it!It's also tiring.
However, now they can wake up on their own, which is great.
After more than a month of stopping and going, the group finally arrived in the N-Mongolia area. When the survivors saw Qiu Qiu and the others who had not yet changed their appearance, they all surrounded them excitedly.
"Mr. Qiu, all the seeds you gave us have been planted alive!"
"We have just put the grain into the warehouse and are planting the second crop, as well as the vegetables. They look great and green!"
"Really? That's great!" Qiu Qiu smiled at the bearded man in front of him and pointed at Leng Tian and others who were getting off the car one after another. "Dad Mo, they are all official troops and they are here to see you this time. Transactional.”
"Official!?" Father Mo's expression changed slightly, he looked at each other with everyone around him, then looked at Qiu Qiu, and asked with some excitement and grievance, "Since the official is still here, why don't they care about us?"
When Leng Tian and others came over, they heard these words. Guilt suddenly overflowed in his heart. He choked and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry! It's not that we don't care about you. We really can't do anything for the time being. When the disaster happened..."
The herdsmen listened quietly to him describing the original intention of establishing the safe zone. Later, the first major earthquake caused widespread collapse of buildings and granaries. After they re-established it, they encountered heavy rains and floods, and global flooding. Ou had no choice but to build a ship. When it was completed, it was already more than two years later. They immediately started the rescue plan non-stop... In short, Leng Tian told them all the reasons without hiding anything.
"So, we are not abandoning everyone, we are really powerless! Fortunately, the safe zone has been re-established again! Everyone, wait a moment, as long as everything in the zone is stable, I will definitely come and take you to the safe zone in person, okay ?"
Father Mo’s son Mosud asked in confusion, “Can’t you just follow us this time?” We don’t want to be “orphans”! "
"Su De!" Xiao Han looked at him seriously and said, "It won't be good for you to go now! Think about it, so many cattle, horses and sheep in the base require a large area of grassland! Although there is a lot of wilderness around the experimental base, it will soon be Entering winter, fodder is a problem.
In addition, the housing and food problems there have not yet been solved. To put it bluntly, if you follow us now, you may be even more hungry. It is better to wait until winter is over before starting to migrate. In this case, what will happen to the experimental base? There is a buffer time on the side, and you can also take this opportunity to save more supplies. "
Su De thought about it carefully and felt that what Xiao Han said made sense. He nodded and said seriously, "It makes sense! The official base is indeed too poor and has so many idle people. Dad, we'd better wait a little later." Let’s go some time!”
"Ahem... um! Silly son!" Father Mo raised his hand and gave him a hand, and glanced at Leng Tian and others, whose faces were red and embarrassed, "How can you say someone is poor? It's rude!"
Su De was not convinced, "They are just poor, and they still like to be good people. Although all living beings are equal and are all citizens of Country C, there is really no need to raise these people who are holding us back. Look, won't they suffer in the future?" Is there a backlash? You should have a safe zone and be so miserable..."
Father Mo had a headache and slapped his son who accepted death, "Okay! Don't say any more!"
Su De wanted to say something more, but when his father stared at him viciously, looking like a cannibal, he didn't dare to say more.
Qiu Qiu suppressed his laughter, but bystanders knew clearly that the base management should really listen to the survivors' complaints, so that they would not feel good about themselves all day long.
"Sorry! Captain Leng, dear brothers!" Father Mo bowed his head slightly to Leng Tian and others with an apologetic look on his face.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
The soldiers smiled, waved their hands, and joked, "Sud is right, you don't have to speak for us! Haha!"
Seeing that they really didn't care, Father Mo suddenly felt more favorable in his heart. He nodded quickly and then said, "What do you want to change when you come here this time?"
"Oh! We want to change..."
The two parties had something to talk about, so Qiu Qiu and the other two temporarily stepped aside and asked one of the herdsmen to take them to see the crops they had grown.
Qiu Qiu and Xiao Han have a good impression of the people in this base. They are diligent, united and don't have so much intrigue. That's why Xiao Han reminded them so much when they clamored to go to the experimental base just now.
To put it bluntly, if people like Father Mo defected now, with the urine of those in the management, all the cattle, horses and sheep raised by the herdsmen and the food they worked hard to grow would end up in the stomachs of more than 2 people.
It’s not that you don’t want to pay the price if you want to enter the base and seek asylum. It’s just that the price must be worth it. Father Mo and others are hardworking and can endure hardships. Those people have nothing but are still so noble. Now, the officials have become tough and let them Follow the work, otherwise, the soldiers will be the fathers and mothers to support them.
Several people followed the herdsman Wu Yun who led the way to the planting area of the base.
Qiu Qiu looked at the crops with green buds sprouting in the field, looked at them carefully for a moment, and then turned to look at the dark clouds, "The planting is good, pay attention to topdressing, but don't overdo it, lest the feces burn the roots, you know?"
"I know!" Wu Yun nodded quickly, then pointed to the sweet potato field not far away that had been planted recently, and looked at him with a pleading look on his face, "Brother Qiu, the yield of the sweet potatoes and potatoes you gave us is very high. Everyone feels that these two things are enough, can you give us some more this time?"
Qiu Qiu smiled and nodded, "Of course!"
"Thank you!" Wu Yun bowed his head to him gratefully, "What does Brother Qiu want to change this time?"
"Same as last time, I still need livestock, yurts, salt, um... I also want to exchange for some furs, dried meat snacks and so on."
Wu Yun smiled and patted his chest, "Of course, we don't lack any of these!"
"Then let's go order things first! Finish the transaction early and go back early!" Xiao Han looked up at the sun and said, "Dark clouds, winter is coming! You must prepare early, understand?"
"I know, I know!" Wu Yun nodded repeatedly, "My grandma and the others are rushing to make winter clothes. Every few days, Father Mo takes everyone to the forests around the grassland to cut wood. We have saved a lot for the winter. Supplies.”
"That's good!" Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Qiu Qiu, and when he nodded, he lowered his voice and said, "Wuyun, after we leave, remember to tell dad that if you go to the experimental base in the future, you will be on your own If you live on the edge, you can just hand over some of your supplies to seek shelter, but you must keep the rest in your own hands, you know?”
Wu Yun looked at him puzzled for a moment, then opened his mouth to ask him in an uncertain tone, "Brother Xiao, do you mean...are you afraid that they will use our things to feed those people?"
"We're not sure either!"
Qiu Qiu looked at him seriously, "But if this winter is as cold as a few years ago and they are short of food, they will definitely target you.
I know that everyone is kind, and saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, but that is tens of thousands of people. Let’s not talk about whether the materials you have worked hard to save are enough to feed them. Even if it is enough, the survivors of the base will be exhausted. If winter continues without It ends, or the severe drought situation happened not long ago, what will you more than 600 people eat? "
Qiu Qiu looked at the pale boy in front of him, reached out and patted his shoulder, "You have to know how to think about yourself, you know?"
"I understand, Brother Qiu, Brother Xiao! Thank you for reminding me!" Wu Yun looked up at the two of them, nodded with gratitude, and then clenched his fist and tapped his head with some annoyance, "Really, it's only been two days. When we live a stable life, we forget that the disasters in the past few years have been erratic and will never end so soon."
Han Jie stepped forward, looked at him and said softly, "You are a child, so you will inevitably have unexpected things. Besides, it's not too late now. After we leave, you can tell Father Mo quickly and let him make plans in advance! "
"Hmm! I see..."
The two parties gained a lot from the transaction. In the cold weather, they brought the things that the herdsmen needed most. In exchange for more than 30 yurts, various kinds of dried meat, millet, black fungus, fur and other food, they collected them. , loaded with 6 cars.
Among them were more than 600 cows, horses, sheep and 1 shepherd dog. I originally wanted to use a cart to pull them, but Father Mo said that their cart was too narrow and some people had to be driven. It was too troublesome. Maybe the animals on the cart would still be pulled. If you lose your temper, it would be better to just let them all go away. Anyway, with the sheepdog, they won't be so tired.
The soldiers thought it made sense and adopted his opinion.
Qiu Qiu and the others also exchanged three carts of supplies, the types of which were roughly the same as the official ones, but more than 200 cattle, horses and sheep were exchanged.
The three parties were very satisfied with this transaction and it ended quickly. After saying goodbye to each other, Qiu Qiu, Leng Tian and the others left N Meng. It took the two teams a month to arrive and nearly two to leave. It took months to arrive at the experimental base.
Qiu Qiu and the others could no longer stand such a blazing speed. As soon as they arrived at the place, they didn't even get out of the car. They greeted Wen Wenwen politely, and then they drove the animals away quickly and arrived far away from the base. distance, immediately put everything into the space, and quickly drove towards Qiu Han's base.
But here at the experimental base, the materials Leng Tian and the others brought back from the trade made everyone excited.
A base with hundreds of people actually has such rich resources. In comparison, they are a little poor. Therefore, after the leadership held an emergency meeting, they called Leng Tian, Chen Yanbing, and Liu Ning into the conference room and asked them carefully. The situation of herders’ bases.
Leng Tian and the other three were not fools. As soon as they heard their words, they knew what these people were planning. Leng Tian stood up from his feet and felt angry in his heart.
"What are you asking? Why are you in a daze?"
"What does Mr. Fu want to hear from us?"
Chen Yan laughed coldly, "Do you want to hear that those people have many cattle and sheep? Or do they have thousands of hectares of fertile land?"
Wen Wen frowned and shook her head at him, her eyes full of worry, "Yan Bing!"
"Ha!" Chen Yanbing looked at her and shook his head and laughed, "Miss Wen, you have changed! Have you all changed?"
He glanced at everyone in the room, his eyes full of sarcasm and disappointment, "What everyone should be thinking about is, shouldn't it be a base with just a few hundred people? Why did it develop to this point instead of just bringing people together in the name of rescue?" Bring in the supplies and raise a group of free-loaders?"
"Chen Yanbing! Do you know what you are talking about?"
Mr. Fu said angrily, "We just hope that everyone can tide over the difficulties together for the time being, not..."
"What if you never get through?"
Chen Yanbing interrupted him loudly, "If we still can't make it through, should we all hug each other and die together? Or should we find the next fool and continue to fight against the autumn wind!? Didn't I just shout the slogan to strive for self-improvement? It has only been a few days since I returned to my original shape. Already?"
Leng Tian looked at the leadership, especially Mr. Fu, whose expression was getting uglier and uglier, and quickly went to pull him away, "Yan Bing, stop talking!"
"Don't hold me back in the cold weather!" Chen Yanbing turned away and stood a step aside. He closed his eyes in discomfort and looked at the crowd with red eyes. He silently took off his epaulettes one by one, attached his sidearms, and held them in both hands. He put it on the table, then took a step back, raised his hand to salute everyone solemnly, then turned around and walked quickly towards the door.
Everyone in the conference room was stunned by his series of actions. By the time they realized it, he had already left the conference room door.
"That's so outrageous! Capture him and shoot him!"
Mr. Fu heavily swung away the water glass in his hand, and with just a "bang", the glass hit the ground with a muffled sound. After rolling a few times, it fell next to Mr. Wen.
"Did you hear that? Go quickly!!" He glared at Leng Tian, Liu Ning and others with splitting eyes, his eyes filled with scarlet red.
"Mr. Fu!" Leng Tian and others looked at him in disbelief, their lips trembling uncontrollably due to excitement. How could they be willing to catch Chen Yanbing.
Wen Wen also spoke anxiously, "Uncle Fu!"
"Don't speak for him!"
Anger kept rising in Mr. Fu's heart, and his eyes shot at her like knives, "People like this who don't obey orders and don't consider the overall situation will be a disaster if they are left!"
"Don't go!" Mr. Wen said suddenly. He stooped down to pick up the water glass and placed it heavily on the table. He raised his head and looked at Mr. Fu expressionlessly, "Have you thought about the consequences of shooting him? How much supplies did he bring with him? Come with me, how much is left in the end, don’t let everyone feel cold!”
"Yes! Master! Don't let everyone feel cold!"
Mr. Lin also disagreed and said, "Everyone knows how much contribution Yan Bing has made, and since we entered the safe zone, not only have we not given him any rewards, we have also been wronging him to be the captain. Now...now …”
The old man couldn't go on. He put his hands on the table with his hands folded. He seemed to be unable to support his body. He leaned forward slightly and glanced back and forth at the people in the room. He suddenly burst into laughter and smiled. In his old eyes, Tears gradually appeared, and then the drops fell, hitting the table and hitting everyone's hearts.
He choked up angrily, "Now even if you tell the truth, you will be shot. From now on, who will dare to work for the base without any reward or regrets!?"
When Mr. Fu saw the old man crying so sadly, his anger was instantly extinguished, and he gradually regained his senses. Regret arose in his heart, yes!If you really do that, it would be really shameful.
Thinking of this, he suddenly slumped his shoulders, leaned back as if he was exhausted, and closed his eyes tiredly, "Let him go!"
After everyone heard his words and knew that Chen Yanbing's crisis was over, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
