Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Underground Base

"Don’t move~"

Song Yi and Jhiang Yuan shouted simultaneously, leaving Zhang Tiezhu bewildered.

He simply wanted to drink some water—there shouldn’t be any issue with that, so why the big reaction?

"This water is not clean, you better not touch it."

"Huh? It looks pretty clear, how is it not clean?"

Zhang Tiezhu scratched his head, completely puzzled.

"Big brother, there wasn’t a lake here before. The earthquake caused water to appear suddenly.

Moreover, despite the cold weather, the lake water isn’t frozen. Don’t you think something’s off?"

With that said, even the slowest to catch on sensed something was amiss.

"Goodness, that was close~"

Zhang Tiezhu gave up the idea of using the lake water and started helping to pack up.

They didn’t have much luggage, but it was a shame to discard the wood.

Jhiang Yuan tried to persuade him over and over, until finally, Jhiang Xingzhi reluctantly tossed away the useless wood.

However, the three sleds they had made still had to be taken with them.

The helicopter couldn’t accommodate so many people.

Now, there was no way to send the others to the base.

They would have to split up, with the first group being Jhiang Yuan, taking Qin Yue and the two children.

The rest would leave in a second wave.

The distance wasn’t too far; it was roughly a twenty-minute trip.

This place used to be a military base with a residential area, but now it was all unusable.

Possibly due to the earthquake’s damage, it was a scene of broken walls and ruins as far as one could see.

Zhang Tiezhu handed them over to a staff member and turned back to pick up the others.

"Hello, please follow me!"

"Sure, thank you for the trouble."

The girl was dressed in military uniform, looking smart and valiant.

Jhiang Yuan had always favored this kind of short haircut, thinking it especially efficient.

But Xia Chaoyang preferred girls with long, flowing hair, so she kept hers long.

Later, after having Xiao Nuan, she had to take care of the child, handle household chores, and manage the business in the shop.

With no time to spare, she ended up cutting her hair short.

It wasn’t particularly short though; it didn’t come close to this comrade’s style.

Looking at her was indeed a pleasure for the eyes!

"Auntie, elder sister, please stay here temporarily."

"Okay, thank you for the trouble."

"No problem. In a bit, you can start settling in.

Zhang Tiezhu will come back later and explain the specifics and safety precautions."

"Thank you so much!"

After seeing off this colleague, Qin Yue and the others finally relaxed.

They no longer had a house; they were now inside an underground bunker.

This was one of the rooms, in the style of a large studio.

It was probably around ten square meters. For their family of four, plus Jingjing, it would be quite cramped.

But in the current situation, having a place to shelter from the wind and rain was already something to be thankful for.

Moreover, the room was furnished with bunk beds, a table, and a chair.

They had to be content.

"My girl, the earthquake was so severe, how come this place is fine? It’s really strange," Qin Yue remarked while tidying up.

"Mom, look, it’s all steel structures here, and so is the roof.

This shows that they considered the possibility of earthquakes when they designed it.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen this location."

"I guess, such intact places are rare to find across the whole country now."

"Sigh, how did it all end up like this, it’s really..."

Jhiang Yuan looked at a row of small rooms, each just like dorms in a university.

Probably used to be for the temporary rest of staff, and that living area over there was mainly for resting as well.

Or for those with families, they could stay there.

"Mom, don’t think too much about it, let’s go out and see what it’s like here later,"

Jhiang Yuan didn’t spell it out too clearly, but Qin Yue understood.

Just like Changming Village, when they first went there, they were very happy and felt very lucky.

But in the end, they nearly lost themselves too, so how could they not be afraid?

Therefore, it’s still best to be a bit more cautious.

Soon, Zhang Tiezhu brought Jhiang Xingzhi and others over.

All were safe, and the anxious hearts could finally be put to rest.

"This place isn’t bad, eh? It even has bunk beds."

Zhang Kaiyang was quite satisfied. Actually, the accommodation conditions at Changming Village were better in comparison.

That place was rented out as private housing, with more complete facilities.

And with separate living rooms, everything was clearly divided.

But here, it was free and safe.

There were advantages to each, different benefits to each place.

"Everyone, all the formalities are complete. Take these badges, they can be used as entry passes."

Zhang Tiezhu came over as he spoke.

He must have helped with the registration; he was really enthusiastic.

"Thank you, Comrade Zhang, truly a good servant of the people."

Ye Mianmian took the badges, complimented him, and Zhang Tiezhu actually blushed.

"It’s inconvenient for you, so I’ll put it here for you."

Saying this, he quickly took a few steps forward, distanced himself from Ye Mianmian, and placed the items on the table.

Ye Mianmian looked at her arm. Sigh, indeed it was quite inconvenient.

"Oh yes, I was only able to secure three rooms for you all. The accommodation situation here is still being planned.

Once the living area is reconstructed, things will improve."

"Three rooms, that should be fine."

"Yes, it’s like this: two rooms for the female comrades, and the remaining male comrades will have to go next door."

That meant Jhiang Xingzhi would also have to move with the men.

"Comrade Tiezhu, my dad might not be able to stay, can he stay in the same room with my mom?"

"Well..."

He scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.

"I’m afraid that’s not possible. It’s all female comrades here, and it wouldn’t be very convenient for Uncle to be around."

So that was how it was.

"Alright then, we understand. Thanks a lot, Comrade Zhang Tiezhu."

Jhiang Yuan felt that he had already been very helpful. The rest could be discussed later.

Right now, they were all in the same space, even if it was far, it would be somewhat better.

As long as there were no significant dangers and with Song Yi close by, it could be somewhat better.

"By the way, there’s something else.

Are any of you experienced in construction or other related professions?

We’re currently recruiting for post-disaster reconstruction, and we need a lot of such talents."

Jhiang Xingzhi was about to say something, but Jhiang Yuan shook her head.

The last time was too dangerous, and they couldn’t afford to take it lightly anymore.

If they could avoid going out, they would try not to.

Song Yi saw this and quickly said, "We don’t have experience in that, but if needed, we can help."

"Now we’re just gathering people with relevant work experience. As for the rest, it’s yet to be decided. We’ll talk about it later!"
