Chapter 505
The Zhou family owned a hardware store originally opened by Zhou's father. At that time, they were reluctant to sell the things in the warehouse, so they put them all in the space to be used after the end of the world.
The meal was simple, just baked potatoes. Probably because Zhou Shuwan was invited to stay for dinner, an extra portion of canned meat was added, which he could eat directly with the dip.
Zhou Shuwan went home after lunch, and it was not until the afternoon that Qi Mingyu came back exhausted.
He was busy all day and all night, his lips were cracked and bleeding, and he looked very tired.
Zhong Tiyun felt distressed and hurriedly placed the fish ball soup pot on top of the white flame stove to warm it up: "Xiao Yu, you must be starving. Mom is warming up the fish ball soup for you. Do you want some noodles?"
Qi Mingyu nodded, walked to the white flame stove and sat down, rubbing his stiff face with his hands.
After the noodles were cooked, he wolfed down two large bowls and only then did he come to his senses.
Grandma Pang sat aside and looked at her grandson in this state. She felt very uncomfortable and thought that her grandson had suffered a lot.
Zhou Shuwan waited until he finished eating before handing him a glass of warm water and asking, "How's the situation at the base?"
Qi Mingyu took a sip of water to moisten his chapped lips and nodded: "Both groups of troops are already in place."
He briefly talked about the conditions on the road and the sudden accidents.
"Yesterday, the first group encountered some minor problems along the way. Several air-conditioning suits, perhaps unused for a while, had cracked seals, causing frostbite on several people's hands. Because it happened suddenly, the injured people panicked, yelling and running, causing everyone in their group to fall. Many people were injured. Emergency personnel rushed forward, but the situation was difficult to handle, so they had to stop and arrange for some young and strong people to carry the people back to the hospital. After treatment, they would join the second group."
Zhou Shuwan frowned, an accident really happened!
"Then there should be a lot of complaints, right?"
Qi Mingyu smiled and said, "Of course not! But as long as we can control the overall situation, everything will be fine."
Zhong Tiyun was also stunned by what she heard and asked a question: "How could such a problem occur with the air-conditioning suits we sent out?"
This is also a logistical problem.
Qi Mingyu shook his head. "I think there's a batch of air-conditioned suits stored in the base's logistics warehouse. They haven't been used for a long time, and the temperature is too low, so they've been frozen. This time, they were all taken out and used at once, and some of them couldn't withstand it and had problems."
There is nothing we can do about it.
Air-conditioned clothing is too expensive, and half of the people in the base cannot afford it.
Such a large base certainly needs to stockpile supplies. Air-conditioned clothing is a must-have in extremely cold weather, so it is not surprising to have excess.
But if problems occur, it means that there are defects in the storage of materials.
Meng Mingyue is in charge of the logistics department.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shuwan hurriedly asked, "What about Mingyue? Is she okay?"
Qi Mingyu pondered for a moment and said, "We can't worry about these details right now. But once things stabilize, the logistics department will probably have to conduct a review."
Zhou Shuwan didn't continue the topic. He nodded and looked at the other person carefully: "Maintaining order must be difficult. Are you injured?"
If anything goes wrong, Qi Mingyu will definitely be the first to bear the brunt and stand in the front.
Qi Mingyu shook his head and laughed, "How can that be exaggerated! Apart from the air-conditioning suit issue, everything has basically gone smoothly. However, we still have to conduct earthquake drills at the base tonight and tomorrow."
The earthquake is expected to occur tomorrow.
"But I was worried about you guys, so I asked Xiao Xiao to resign. Xiao Xiao understood and didn't try to keep me."
"That's good." Zhou Shuwan asked again, "What about the arrangements for Xiao Xiao and Ming Yue's families?"
Both of them are very busy people at the base, and they certainly cannot ask for leave and resign at will like them.
Qi Mingyu said, "As the base commander, Xiao Xiao definitely can't back down. The lives of 30,000 people are in his hands. However, we chatted a little on the way, and he meant to let Mingyue stay with their two families after arriving at the base. Mingyue is also a soldier, with good skills and strong adaptability. With her around, I think everything will be fine."
