Chapter 369
For those elderly people, women and children who have no strength, Qi Mingyu also arranged some odd jobs that they can do as long as they are willing to participate, such as moving soil, cleaning the site, etc.
Although there is not much work and the rent is little, it is better than nothing.
Moreover, those who work can receive two meals a day, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation for the hungry survivors.
More and more people are joining in the construction of the base. The open space outside the base is full of busy figures and the scene of bustling work makes people feel as if they have returned to the busy city before the end of the world.
Zhou Shuwan stood beside Qi Mingyu, looking at the busy work scene, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Brother Xiao Yu, I used to be very impatient to get involved in these things, always feeling like it was a thankless task. But now, seeing how happy and fulfilled they are, I feel like my efforts weren't in vain! In this apocalypse, we can finally do something beneficial for the survivors!"
"Yeah!" Qi Mingyu held her hand and interlocked their fingers.
Zhou Shuwan turned to look at him. The sunlight shone on his face, outlining his angular features. His eyes were gentle and firm.
She held the other person's hand back and felt very safe.
A month later, the shelter was completed.
The rows of low adobe houses, though crude, are sturdy and durable enough to withstand the invasion of wind, rain and acid rain.
Originally it was said that they wanted to build a framework, but the survivors were too diligent and begged again and again. Finally, Xiao Xiao agreed to build the shelter into houses, so that they could finally feel at home when living in it.
The ochre-yellow walls glow with a soft sheen in the sunlight, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding gray buildings.
The shelter is divided into simple small rooms, each with a small window to let sunlight in without giving acid rain a chance to invade.
There was no furniture in the room, only beds made of a few wooden boards, but for the survivors who were sleeping in the open outside the base, this was the dream home.
The survivors moved out of the farms and vegetable greenhouses and into shelters.
Their faces were filled with smiles and their eyes were full of hope.
The children were chasing and playing in the open space in front of the shelter, making clear laughter, as if the end of the world had never come.
Although Chen Fen and her friends' tents could block acid rain, living in these simple adobe houses was better than tents. They also actively participated in the construction, so they didn't even have to pay rent and were given several rooms.
At the same time, the service hall finally began to move.
Trucks and off-road vehicles, loaded with office supplies and staff, drove into the new base in a mighty procession.
The staff members looked a little tired, but their eyes were full of anticipation.
They got out of the car, looked around, took in the environment of the new base, and were full of anticipation for the new life that was about to begin.
Several of the cars were occupied by a group of officials from the service hall. They were neatly dressed, had delicate skin and some flesh on their bodies, forming a sharp contrast with the survivors around them who were ragged and skinny.
The officials and their families got off the bus and were greeted by someone who led them to their assigned residence.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu saw it from afar and moved away.
Seeing the arrogant look of this group of people, Zhou Shuwan frowned slightly.
J City suffered the least casualties in the apocalypse, and the survivors did not suffer too much in the early stages. In fact, it all originated from the top leader, Mayor Lu.
He's a good official! He has a deep empathy for the people and a certain amount of courage. He's able to go against public opinion and distribute free relief food and clean water for three years. He also has a keen eye for talent, recognizing the extraordinary qualifications of Xiao Xiao and Qi Mingyu, and is willing to use them!
It can be said that without Mayor Lu, there would be no new base today!
But Zhou Shuwan didn't have a good impression of the other officials in the service hall.
She took Qi Mingyu's hand and left.
Later, I heard that Mayor Lu is still in J City. He will not leave until all the survivors have been relocated.
