Chapter 282: The Big Bunk Bed

Chapter 282: Chapter 282: The Big Bunk Bed

It also gave a feeling of relative safety, and indeed, the attitude of the people here had improved a lot.

The information required for registration was quite detailed, asking about all aspects.

They even asked how we had survived the past few months; they insisted on understanding everything.

Although Jhiang Yuan was reluctant, she still selectively shared information.

The rest of the people did the same.

Everyone knew what they could and couldn’t say.

"Okay, that’s it for today. Someone will come to take you to the rest area soon,"

the person said and then left.

When they reached the door, they suddenly came back.

"Oh yes, the cafeteria has run out of food now, but we’ll have some food sent over to you,"

they added.

Ah, free food, that’s really nice!

Especially for that family, they were thrilled to bits.

In a little while, a man and a woman came in, instructing everyone to split up.

Jhiang Yuan looked at Jhiang Xingzhi, who nodded at her reassuringly.

There was no choice given the circumstances.

"Song Yi, please take care of my dad, he injured his arm,"

Jhiang Yuan emphasized intentionally, fearing too much attention on them.

It was common for an injured person to be looked after.

"Don’t worry,"

Song Yi reassured her with a comforting look, signaling her to leave it to him.

Males and females were separated, and a tall, slender sister led their group.

Even in a thick military uniform, she had a slender figure.

"Here, this is instant noodles, one box per person, eat it in your room,"

she said, opening a door.

The building seemed like a dormitory, and they were on the fifth floor.

Inside, there were many doors, each with a label.

They entered 0512, which faced the sun.

"Wake up, we have some newcomers here, get along with them,"

she announced.

"Don’t worry, Instructor Lin,"

After giving instructions, she turned to Jhiang Yuan and the others, "Your belongings are on the bunk beds opposite. Make sure to turn off the lights by midnight, okay?"

"Sure, thank you, Instructor Lin,"

Jhiang Yuan replied, trying to keep a low profile.

After she left, the room’s occupants curiously watched them.

The woman who had previously spoken, probably in her forties, didn’t come down.

With the blankets pulled over her head, the room still felt warm.

However, no heating equipment was visible, and it was unclear how the room was heated.

"You guys can stay opposite us; this is temporary for us too. We all arrived today.

Tomorrow, we’ll wait for the official allocation of our own places,"

she explained.

Official allocation?

This seemed like an organized setup, and these people appeared quite familiar with it.

At least, they knew more than she did.

"Thank you, big sister, what should we call you?"

Jhiang Yuan asked as she set down her belongings.

The others also started settling in.

They certainly needed to rest well on the beds provided, especially after such an exhausting day.

Although the beds were bunk beds and close together,

they were similar to the large communal sleeping areas they had been told about.

Luckily, the room was not crowded, and they could use the four beds opposite.

"My surname is Zuo. Since you’re young, you can just call me Sister Zuo.

"This is all from our manor, by the way, where did you come from?"

Jhiang Yuan smiled, it seemed that those who had come were all from nearby.

The old man said, it was through a robot that messages were delivered.

Couldn’t get too far, going to other places still needed time.

"Sister Zuo, we are from East Suburb, heard that this place can save lives, so we brought our families over,"

"That’s right, all your men have gone over there, haven’t they!"

Uhm, she didn’t have a man.

Still, she just softly hummed in agreement.

Sister Zuo was very talkative and helped introduce the other people in the room.

Jhiang Yuan also introduced the few people on this side, and Xiao Ling was getting ready to make instant noodles for everyone.

"Sister, there’s hot water over there, feel free to use it."

Saying so, she pointed toward the entrance.

There stood two thermos bottles, easy to miss unless you looked closely.

Xiao Ling quickly thanked her and then went to get some water.

"No need to mention it, it’s provided by the residents.

At the far end of the corridor, there’s a water room, just fill this up later."

Xiao Ling was extremely grateful, and then proceeded to make noodles for everyone.

Having hustled all day, getting to eat something hot was indeed a rarity.

"I’ve got a few pieces of beef jerky here, if no one minds, let’s all have one."

Jhiang Yuan was quite generous, handing out a small packet to each person.

"Oh, how can I accept this."

Although Sister Zuo said so, she happily took it anyway.

"We only have these left, gathering here today is also fate.

If later there’s food and drink to share, we won’t worry, just split them among us!"

The mention of meat made several faces light up. It had been so long since they had tasted meat.

Ye Mianmian, although unsure why Jhiang Yuan did this, was sure she had her reasons.

She helped prepare the noodles and then organized the luggage together, waiting for the noodles to cook.

"Sister Zuo, what did you mean by ’uniform distribution’ just now?

We came late and don’t know anything."

"Hey, sister, you guys indeed came quite late."

Whether it was the gift of the beef jerky or not, everyone became more lively.

They started discussing the matters of this place, each adding their piece.

Jhiang Yuan also got the gist of it, apparently this place was similar to an assistance center.

However, here it was purely about help; there was also a sector working on family home reconstruction.

Everyone that came here had to work.

Based on the nature of previous employment, they found suitable jobs they could competently perform.

Because the system wasn’t very robust now, many professions were useless.

However, those who were strong could go and work on building houses, essentially manual labor.

In exchange for accommodation and three meals a day, of course, some people didn’t need to work.

The elderly, frail, and disabled had to go through strict scrutiny.

Such people were merely kept from starving; even getting enough food was a problem.

However, accommodation was provided for free.

It probably was like this here; the house looked quite old, perhaps previously a dormitory that they took over directly.

It was too dark at night, they hadn’t seen clearly the specifics of this place.

"Tomorrow, let’s see what we can do. It’s certainly better than waiting at home to die, don’t you agree?"

"Exactly, Sister Zuo, lucky you know so much, otherwise we’d be completely in the dark tomorrow."

Jhiang Yuan complimented her a few times, then started eating her noodles.

Later, she would need to sleep early, couldn’t afford to delay for too long.

Normally, lights out here was at nine o’clock because this dormitory was temporary, so it could be different from the others.

After eating, Jhiang Yuan prepared to fetch water.
