Chapter 497
The White Flame Furnaces are too precious. There are more than a thousand of them now, but it is difficult to distribute just 1500 tents. There is no time to take care of those who want to take refuge in other places on their own.
Therefore, these people need to find ways to exchange for the White Flame Furnace themselves.
The price of the White Flame Furnace was already sky-high, and after the recent earthquake drill, it had increased twenty-fold.
Chen Fen went to great lengths to exchange for two white flame furnaces.
After Zhou Shuwan knew about it, he promised to lend one of his own.
Their family had previously exchanged for more than a dozen white flame furnaces and placed them in the space.
Xiaoliu also had one. After spending a short time together, he admired Chen Fen and Sister Hong for using their bodies to provide protection for weak women, so he also offered to lend one.
Chen Fen was so moved that she didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, she was a very straightforward and cheerful retired female soldier. After accepting it calmly, she solemnly promised to help each other in the future if anything happened.
For the next few days, the base will conduct four drills.
At Qi Mingyu's request, several passages were temporarily opened in the greenhouse for the survivors living inside to escape.
After training, the survivors went from being hurried and panicked at the beginning to being calm and orderly later.
After catching a few typical cases, there were basically no more incidents of looting of supplies.
After being ignored by Qi Mingyu for a while, the Qi family finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Du Qin knew that no one in the Zhou family liked her, but she didn't care about that.
Her husband Qi Zhenmin was lying in bed and unable to move, so she had no choice but to shamelessly bring Qi Mingfeng to visit him.
The shadow of the earthquake loomed over the base, and she wanted to ask Qi Mingyu how he planned to accommodate them before the earthquake.
She deliberately chose the daytime when no one was at home. The Zhou family had been very busy recently, and Qi Mingyu was even more so. He was often not at home and only came back at night.
Du Qin said she came to find Qi Mingyu, but actually she came to seek support from Grandma Pang.
Mu Mu stood by the door, looking coldly at Du Qin and Qi Mingfeng standing outside the door, frowning slightly.
"Mu Mu, let them in." Grandma Pang's voice came from behind, her tone was light and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.
Mu Mu opened the door and glanced at Du Qin. Seeing that she was holding a handkerchief in her hand, tears were hanging in the corners of her eyes, and she looked so pitiful, she felt even more disdainful.
He stepped aside to make way, and Du Qin pulled Qi Mingfeng into the house.
Qi Mingfeng still looked like a child, playing with a toy in his hand. When he saw Grandma Pang, he knew to greet her, "Hello, Grandma!"
Grandma Pang had a faint smile on her face and asked Mu Mu to treat him with potato chips.
Mu Mu glanced at Du Qin lightly and turned to go to the kitchen.
As soon as Du Qin entered the house, tears began to fall like beads from a broken string. She wiped her tears while sobbing, "Mom, you have to help us... Zhenmin is lying in the hospital now. He had an operation for internal bleeding. The doctor said he won't be able to do physical work for six months... I have a family to support, and when I heard that an earthquake was coming, I was worried and scared. I really couldn't come to you and Xiaoyu. Only our family can help us..."
Grandma Pang sat on the sofa, her attitude somewhat cold: "Just follow the arrangements of the base. There is no need to panic. We have been through the apocalypse for so many years."
Mu Mu brought out a bowl of French fries and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Now you know to ask for help, but why didn't you feel any guilt when you made things difficult for your sister and brother-in-law?
Du Qin seemed to have not expected her to say that. She glanced at her in surprise, then pretended to be pitiful. "Mom, Zhenmin is not in good health and can't even walk. If we really follow the base's arrangements, what will happen to him? Mingfeng, Zhiyi, and I can't carry him! That's one thing. Second, no one in our family knows how to fight. If we follow so many people to seek refuge, what if our supplies are really stolen..."
