Natural Disaster Strikes: From Joining the Rescue Team

Chapter 938: Neighboring Country with a Long History
Fang Yi smiled after hearing this, and said without pause: "Mr. Gu and his 12 million people are now your people, you just need to negotiate directly with Captain Gu. I have great confidence in him, after all, he has helped our country very well with the help of your company's rescue tools. Here, I say thank you again! Salute."

He raised his hand and saluted solemnly without hesitation, even though the other party couldn't see it.

Richard laughed even louder: "Haha, he is still yours in terms of nationality, so you should propose the conditions."

Fang Yi also smiled: "The Queen is still helping our survivors in our country. Yang Minghui is well taken care of in Area 1. I can't afford to support Gu Sheng and his 12 million people, so I will leave them to you to support for a while. I still hope that they will come back to participate in the construction of the base. If you ask me to make another offer, I really can't think of anything and I am ashamed."

Richard smiled and said, "Then let me tell you, is it okay for you to listen?"

Fang Yi: "Thank you, thank you. You are so caring."

Richard: "The mining of Area 1 is expected to start in a few months. Dr. Li Qi came to guide the mining work but couldn't wait until a few months later to leave. He has decided to return to the base to work in the next few days and come back when Area 1 needs him. His first stop will be your new base to build a ground dome for you on site. This time is three months earlier than our agreed time. Please notify the diplomats in Area 1 and arrange for staff to accompany Dr. Li Qi."

Fang Yi was overjoyed, and his voice changed tone with excitement: "Thank you very much, thank you very much. I will ask Yang Yueming from Area 1 to arrange for someone to accompany Dr. Li Qi over there."

Richard: "Then it's settled."

Fang Yi suddenly remembered and added: "I will tell Captain Gu Sheng and ask him to complete the rescue work well."

Richard: "Haha, thank you very much, goodbye."

After the call, Fang Yi was so excited that he contacted Gu Sheng immediately to encourage and advise him. Of course, he praised Gu Sheng. Captain Gu once again earned benefits for the country with his own efforts. If Fang Yi didn't praise him, anything else would be inappropriate.

Liu Wangjun waited quietly by the side, knowing that he should not disturb Fang Yi at this time, and his eyes were only observing Fang Yi's sudden burst of full energy.

Finally, Fang Yi ended his call with Gu Sheng. He was able to release some of his excitement and calm down a little. He relayed the content of the conversation to Liu Wangjun, and the more than 100 people with them could hear it clearly.

The snow was icy cold, but the joy that erupted was as warm as a stove.

Liu Wangjun, who is well-informed, murmured in disbelief, "He was given another 10,000 sets of protective clothing, and he can get a salary to buy supplies from the base and bring them back to our own base. Li Qi has been helping us build a new base these days. How can such a good thing happen?"

Fang Yi's staff said enviously: "That's 10,000 sets of protective clothing."

Liu Wangjun's staff calculated seriously: "Captain Gu can take away any important production line from the snow right now. Sir, the foreign production lines we wanted to buy before, the ones they didn't sell, are now free to buy and take as you like."

Fang Yi's staff member came back to his senses and echoed: "It would be best to rescue a few technicians next to the machine."

Liu Wangjun reacted and immediately contacted Gu Sheng to praise him. He was not satisfied after the praise and said to Fang Yi: "This guy is really good at making money. He first earned six rescue vehicles, six tow trucks, and 7,000 sets of protective clothing for himself. Now he has earned the right to use 10,000 sets of protective clothing and salary. Li Qi also helped us build the dome in advance."

Fang Yi smiled and nodded: "We have agreed with the Lifelong Investment Company to build the ground dome in three months. It's not that they are dragging their feet and blocking our ideas, but the steel, production lines and other necessities needed to build the dome need to be transported from China, and it takes so long for the planes to fly back and forth."

Liu Wangjun rushed to say: "Now Yang Yueming has obtained a large amount of materials in Area 1, and our dome construction materials have been solved in an instant."

He pondered, "It seems that Yang Yueming wants all the planes to be loaded with supplies and return, and this is not enough."

Fang Yi still smiled: "Then first load some of the supplies to escort Dr. Li Qi, then go to Area 1 to carry them repeatedly, and finally pick up Yang Yueming and the staff."

The group continued walking on the snow in high spirits. The new news made them talk and laugh without stopping. Liu Wangjun of course praised Fang Yi's old friend for being a helpful person. Look at how well he took care of Fang Yi. The new wrinkles on his face every day were all from his smile. In this joyful atmosphere, they soon arrived at their destination. At the end of this newly opened road was an underground shelter.

Only the Life Eternal Investment Company has relatively accurate data on how much surface area the wind and snow have added to the planet. The live broadcast reports once a month that the thickness of the wind and snow in the deepest area measured is up to 100 miles. A healthy person who is used to walking would probably take a day to walk 100 miles, while a healthy person who is not used to walking would not be able to walk from before the sun rises to when the moon rises.

One hundred miles is now the distance upward from the lowest area on the planet.

Some people may say, if the wind and snow blow equally, how come the thickness is a hundred miles in some places and less than a hundred miles in others?

The wind blows the snow down, and the wind blows the snow from the high places to the low places. After the snow falls to the low places, such as a basin, except for the broken snow that is blown away by the wind and snow, it can be stored far more than the high places. The snow has nowhere to go and accumulates here until it slowly catches up with the altitude of the high places. Most of the surface of this planet is flat, and it has gradually become flat in more than a year of wind and snow.

We all know that there are 365 days in a year, and more than 500 days in a year. The deepest snow is miles, and on average, one mile and meters of snow falls every five days. If this continues, this planet will become an ice and snow planet, extremely huge.

There is an explanation for the fact that the Life Investment Company knew that the rescue vehicle could be accelerated, but it still estimated that it would take Gu Sheng's rescue vehicle more than a year to reach the base.

So far, this one hundred miles is only the distance upward from the lowest area. The entire outer area of ​​the planet has not been covered with snow for a hundred miles. However, the difference between the snow in normal areas and the original ground can reach ten miles or dozens of miles, which has already occurred.

Fang Yi and Liu Wangjun stood on a high point on the newly opened road, looking through the gray mist at the shelter at the bottom of the slope in front of them. There was no doubt that they could not see anything, which made the two of them sigh endlessly.

Liu Wangjun sighed, "I opposed your retreat when we were in the imperial capital, but now I am more and more glad that you have retreated. If the snow and wind continue to fall like this for a few more years, it will be a big project to ventilate the underground base upwards."

Fang Yi also sighed: "Our ancestors have always advocated that a large family with a large business will lead to a large population. In the face of this natural disaster, there is nothing we can do about it because the country is small and the population is small."

The place where they are standing now is a neighboring country with a long history and they have always had good relations. Fang Yi plans to take the people of this country with him in the great retreat. Otherwise, just looking at the newly opened road in front of them, it is beyond the manpower and equipment of this small country to dig out.

With the snow covering the shelters and the food running out, there was no other way to survive.

Walking down the slope, you can see a passageway of the shelter. This place doesn't look like an air-raid shelter, but rather like an urban area under the snow, which was used as a shelter after being covered by snow. Standing at the passageway are two people in protective suits, with a group of service robots parked behind them.

These are the staff sent by Fang Yi to make contact ahead of the enemy and the road-digging robot.

Seeing Fang Yi and Liu Wangjun approaching, the two men stood up and saluted: "Hello, sir." Fang Yi returned the salute, and he sent out ten staff members and asked: "Where are the others?"

"Reporting to the commander, Commander Zhao Mingliang led the team to negotiate inside. Prime Minister Kongchai agreed that all the people should leave with us. The military leader General Wangtha opposed it with force and locked up Prime Minister Kongchai and his entire family."

Fang Yi looked at Liu Wangjun and said, "You are familiar with this place. I took you along for a walk regardless of your health because I considered this kind of situation."

Liu Wangjun didn't waste any words: "Let's go and take a look."

People who often face snow will have their eyesight damaged, but the helmet of the protective suit can protect the user's eyes very well. When Fang Yi and others walked into the passage, their vision suddenly darkened due to the lack of electricity. At this time, the helmet of the protective suit lit up dimly, ensuring lighting and preventing the eyes from being injured in the sudden darkness.

Fang Yi couldn't help but sigh, and heard Liu Wangjun making the same sound. They both laughed at the same time, looked at each other, and said in unison: "Ten thousand sets."

Gu Sheng's 10,000 sets of protective clothing are really good equipment. Thinking that Gu Sheng is one of their own, if he lives well, he can better protect more than 12 million people. Fang Yi and Liu Wangjun smiled from the bottom of their hearts.

The two people who were guarding the entrance just now led the way one by one, introducing the situation here as they walked.

It turns out that this is really an underground city, not a shelter like an air-raid shelter or underground parking lot. Most of the air-raid shelters in this country are built underground and were opened to the public at first. Then the wind and snow became more and more fierce, and within a few hours, the doors of the air-raid shelters were blocked. Several people in the air-raid shelters suffocated to death. The authorities quickly mobilized the people who could escape to return to the underground city, and dug out passages on the streets of the snow-covered city to become new shelters.

Later, I found that there were many benefits in the underground city. Even if the houses and shops were frozen solid, it was easier to get food and warm items. Then the snow piled up layer by layer. In addition to the lack of electricity and light, the shelter was still cold. However, the people quickly adapted to this constant cold. Death began to occur more from hunger, frostbite and disease, and no longer mainly due to direct damage to life caused by the cold.

Fang Yi and others walked by hurriedly with their bodies covered in sweat. On the roadside, they could see people sitting on quilts and cotton mats with panicked looks on their faces. It seemed like they could barely survive a few more days, but experienced people could see that this place was already at the end of its strength.

These people, at least hundreds of people, who were sitting together to keep warm were all very close to the entrance. It seemed that the ice in the snowy city had melted, and the quilts and human body temperature could not melt the ground. The quilts separated the coldness of the ground and the human body temperature, and could also provide some warmth from the cotton wool.

In fact, if you think about it, why don't they sit deeper in the underground city? There is no wind or snow there and it will be warmer.

The air deep in the city is poor, and they must be afraid of suffocation. There must be someone in this shelter guarding the entrance every day to break through the blockade of the snow and let in fresh air.

Fang Yi was in the bright light of his helmet, and the crowd was in the darkness around him. Fang Yi could not see their faces huddled in their quilts, but he could tell by feeling that they were all frostbitten to varying degrees. To recover, they needed enough medicine and enough food to repair their skin. Without enough medicine, it would be better not to continue.

This made Fang Yi determined to negotiate with him. At least, they would have enough food, medicine and warm clothes to join his retreat team. It was just not as good as Gu Sheng's rich and powerful people.

Thinking of Gu Sheng, Fang Yi's heavy mood as he looked around eased a little.

Captain Gu.

Lucky guy.

His pride.

Kong Cai and his family were locked up in a house that had been cleared of ice and snow. Wang Ta was talking to Zhao Mingliang next door. Fang Yi rushed here and entered the room to renegotiate with Wang Ta.

Liu Wangjun was more familiar with this country, so he took the lead in talking to Wang. Liu Wangjun said that if you don't leave with us, you will all die here soon. Wang said that burying your body in your hometown and keeping your soul in your hometown is the best ending.

Liu Wangjun said you can do whatever you want, but you have no right to influence the people who still want to live, let alone divide yourself at this time and imprison your prime minister's family. Wang said don't think that your clothes are good and you can influence your neighbors like the wind and snow before. Neighboring countries are polite to you only because your country is big and has a large population. How our people live is our business. We will not divide ourselves and we will not allow you to plunder our population by taking advantage of the wind and snow.

Wang was anxious and angry: "Excuse me, are you only taking our people? Are you going to dig up our important supplies? You sent a large number of robots to dig here."

Liu Wangjun said, "I guarantee that your people will follow us in the great retreat to live in a safe ground base, and their nationality, culture and beliefs will remain unchanged."

Wang sneered and said, "I don't believe you. Where can we get a ground base in this kind of weather? Don't just make up a few images and try to fool us."

Fang Yi and Liu Wangjun went to see Zhao Mingliang together. Zhao Mingliang admitted that he had shown him the celebration banquet held by the Everlasting Life Investment Company to celebrate the Snowstorm Era. The international public figures in the banquet were all familiar faces, and the gorgeous clothes, jewelry and beautiful hall looked all fake to him.

Fang Yi glanced at Liu Wangjun. What should he do? This guy has not been in contact since the snowstorm. He also didn't know much about his country. It was probably because the country's communication infrastructure was almost completely damaged by the snowstorm. He was unable to receive the live broadcast from the Life Eternal Investment Company, nor was he able to dial the hotline that was announced to the world before the snowstorm.

He believes this is the end of the world but refuses to believe that anyone will rescue him?

Liu Wangjun stared at him, what could he do? He turned to Wang and said, "We won't care if you don't leave, but let Prime Minister Kongchai go. If he still wants to leave, we can take him with us."

Wang Ta grinned: "Kongchai must have taken a group of people with him when he left. Do you think I will let you go?"

His wild laughter attracted a group of people with explosives tied to their bodies. Wang laughed even harder: "Your clothes can withstand the wind and snow, leave them to me."

Fang Yi, Liu Wangjun and Zhao Mingliang were stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter. What a joke! Who wouldn't know the reason for getting this piece of clothing and using it until today?

The protective suits were first obtained from the standard uniforms of airplane pilots. At that time, the Imperial Capital Base wanted to make its own protective suits and began to conduct experiments. Later, Fang Yi took the first batch of more than 1,000 protective suits obtained from Chongcheng and experienced the strong winds and heavy snow in the snow-capped mountains. The strong winds and snow far exceeded ordinary explosives.

The explosives that Wang took out were also the kind that looked very simple at first glance. They could be used to blow up people, but definitely not to blow up protective clothing.

The two groups laughed at each other, as if competing to see whose mouth could open the biggest.

See you tomorrow.
