54 Self-reliance
Not long ago, Ludao Stadium.
This is the only formal stadium in Luzhou. Since the command center Yongding withdrew some settlements, the stadium was requisitioned by the colonial and became a temporary resettlement site for the withdrawal of residents.
The people who retreated from Qing'ao were placed in the side hall in a corner of the stadium, gathered together in groups of three or three to have a simple breakfast,
Although the Colonial Bureau made its best efforts, the development of the incident was too fast. In just two days and one night, more than 100,000 people were withdrawn from Lu Island. Arrangement of food and accommodation for so many residents was an extremely huge project. In addition, the Colonial Bureau was busy withdrawing more people, so the conditions in other aspects were inevitably worse.
Fortunately, everyone knows that it is an extraordinary time and can understand the difficulties of the colonial authorities, and no one makes trouble for this little thing.
Halfway through the meal, Xiaomoustache hurried back, and a voice suddenly resounded: "Xiaoluzi, I'm here!"
Everyone's eating action came to an abrupt end, and everyone's eyes focused on the mustache.
"Uncle Liu!" The bearded man quickly walked through the crowd and stopped in front of Uncle Liu.
Uncle Liu has already stood up: "Is there any news about the spaceship?"
In an instant, everyone's ears stood up, and there were only a few ignorant children who still looked at them with their innocent eyes.
"I asked someone for a question," said Xiao Wangzi. "They said the spacecraft crashed halfway and landed near Lake 197." Luzhou is too big and has a short development time. Many places have no names at all. When mentioned, they are described in coordinates. 197 is the number of the nameless lake.
Everyone was suddenly in an uproar, and the family with relatives on the spaceship was furious, and various problems were swarming like carpet bombing.
"Silent, quiet, quiet!" Uncle Liu's voice was trembling, but he tried his best to maintain his rationality, "Listen to Xiaoluzi continue!"
The mustache had a very ugly expression: "I have asked, and the command center said that a man named Xue Yifei had contacted Ludao. When the spacecraft crashed, he was on the ship."
"Who is Xue Yifei?"
"I know him!" said a young woman, "He has a beard and lives in Uncle Luo's shop. Uncle Luo calls him Lao Xue."
When everyone heard this, they all remembered such a person. Even if they were not very impressed, they could still imagine the image of a strong man with a beard on their own.
Uncle Liu was extremely surprised: "Is that person with the surname Xue okay?"
"According to the command center, it should be fine. He contacted the command center more than once, but several times!"
"That's great, great!" Uncle Liu was so excited, "They must be alive!"
Everyone agreed, even though they knew that the spacecraft crash could not be unscathed, they were willing to use this method similar to self-hypnosis to convince themselves that their missing family and friends were still alive.
Uncle Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "Little Way, you didn't ask when will you be able to bring someone back?"
"I asked." The mustache's face was full of shadows. "The command center said that the current situation is worse than before. All the spacecraft have been requisitioned by the Colonial Bureau. The mission list has been scheduled for three days, but only after the mission is scheduled for three days. In fact, there are more and more settlements that have happened. After ten days and half a month, the settlements cannot be evacuated, and the spacecraft cannot be retrieved for rescue at all."
As soon as the words were finished, everyone was infuriated again, and they condemned the colonial authorities for their inaction.
The people in other settlements are humans, but the people on the crashed spacecraft are not humans?
"Quiet, quiet!" This time, Uncle Liu didn't need to maintain order. Xiao Wang roared a few times before suppressing everyone's voices. "I thought of a solution. Although I can't find a redundant spaceship in Luzhou, there is still an airship here!"
"airship?"
"Well, we used to conduct investigations before, and the load capacity is not much worse than the spacecraft. It's just that it flies too slowly, so it was not requisitioned by the Colonial Bureau. I think we can pay to rent the airship and go to Lake 197. Although it may take a little longer, it's better than staying here and waiting, right?"
"Yes, you can't wait."
“It’s right!”
...
Everyone agreed, wishing to teleport to the site of the incident immediately.
Uncle Liu asked worriedly: "Does the command center agree?"
"I haven't asked yet, but I think there's no reason for them to stop it."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go and rent an airship quickly. If you don't have enough money, let's get together!"
"Yes, if you don't have enough, just get together. I have a little more here..."
"No need for the time being!" said Xiaomao, "I have asked Xiaosi to ask... Hey, isn't Xiaosi coming back now?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw Xiao Si who was panting together. They saw that he was running back all the way.
Xiao Si was stunned when everyone was gaze, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
"Xiao Si, have you rented the airship?"
Xiaomoustache also joined the rush: "Tell me quickly, Dawei is waiting!"
"Brother Lu, I've looked for it. The person in charge of the airship asked for a high price..."
"Oh, when is it now?" Uncle Liu was so anxious that he stamped his feet. "Is there no money in life important? You can give as much as he wants, and save the person first!"
"Yes, I think so too. I have already told him that the man said he could set off at any time!"
"That's great, Xiao Sier, it's done well!" Xiao Wang raised her thumbs up.
The others also praised him for being close to him, and they slapped Xiao Si's shoulder hard, almost shattering his arms.
Xiao Si had never let so many people praise him. He smiled foolishly and was at a loss, his shoulders were numb, and he even took the initiative to slap him under the face.
Uncle Liu grabbed Xiaomao and said, "Xiaoluzi, who are you planning to arrange for?"
"I'll go there myself!" Xiaomouzi said without hesitation.
"No!" Uncle Liu shook his head, "Everyone has to take care of you. In this way, I, the old man, will take you for you!"
The bearded man was so embarrassed: "Uncle Liu, you are so old, can I tolerate you?"
"You mayor, who cares about it?"
The mustache has no words, so she can only barely adapt: "Okay, Uncle Liu, then I'll leave it all to you when I'm old. Please bring a few more people over."
"Who are you bringing!" Uncle Liu immediately refused, "There are so many people on the spaceship, and it's still a little bit to ask if the airship can be installed. If you bring one more person, you will occupy one more person's place, just myself!"
The beard was helpless: "That's OK, but be careful!"
"I know what I know. I'll go to the airship driver later. You should contact the command center quickly and tell them about this. If they dare to refuse, ask me carefully. If we don't send the spaceship, we won't let us find a way. What do they want to do?"
"good!"
