Chapter 568 Donating Materials
Lin Ke looked in the direction the female volunteer pointed and saw a donation registration office set up in a corner of the hall. Many caring people were queuing up to register for donations.

"Let's go and take a look." Lin Ke said to Wang Huaiyuan.

The two came to the donation registration desk and waited in line.

"Brother Ke, look, it seems like they are registering missing person information over there." Wang Huaiyuan said, pointing to the other side of the hall.

Lin Ke followed Wang Huaiyuan's gaze and saw that there was an area on the other side of the hall. Many people gathered there, asking anxiously.

"Let's go and take a look." Lin Ke said.

The two came to the missing person information registration office and saw a middle-aged woman holding a child and crying heartbreakingly.

"My child, where are you? Come back soon!" the middle-aged woman cried.

"Sister, don't be anxious, tell me slowly. What's the child's name? How old is he? When did he get lost?" A volunteer comforted the middle-aged woman and asked about the situation in detail.

"My child's name is Xiaobao, he is five years old. When the flood came yesterday, our family was separated and we haven't found him yet..." the middle-aged woman burst into tears.

Lin Ke and Wang Huaiyuan felt very uncomfortable listening to the middle-aged woman's crying.

"Brother Ke, do you think Xiaobao will..." Wang Huaiyuan hesitated to speak. He knew it was unlucky to say such things now, but he really couldn't help but worry.

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiaobao will be fine." Lin Ke comforted, "The rescue team is now searching with all their strength, I believe there will be news soon."

At this time, a volunteer holding a loud speaker shouted in the hall: "Dear disaster-stricken people, please pay attention. A batch of supplies has arrived in the disaster area. Please line up to receive them..."

Upon hearing the news, the originally lifeless hall suddenly became lively and the disaster-stricken people flocked to the material distribution point.

"Let's go and help." Lin Ke said to Wang Huaiyuan.

The two came to the material distribution point and joined the team of volunteers to help maintain order and transport materials.

"Don't push, come one by one, everyone will have a share, everyone will have a share..." Lin Ke shouted loudly while maintaining order.

"Thank you, thank you..." The disaster-stricken people took the supplies and said gratefully.

Looking at this scene, Lin Ke felt mixed emotions.

He knew that these supplies were just a drop in the bucket for the disaster-stricken people, but at least they could solve the immediate problem.

"Brother Ke, look, it seems that there are still many people over there who have not received tents." Wang Huaiyuan said, pointing to the distance.

Lin Ke looked in the direction Wang Huaiyuan pointed, and saw a group of people gathered in the corner of the square. Most of them were old people and children. Because they did not receive tents, they could only sit on the ground in the open air. They looked very pitiful.

"Let's go and take a look." Lin Ke said.

The two men came in front of the group of people. An old lady saw them, walked up to them tremblingly, and asked, "Young man, do you have any tents? We have been waiting here for a long time, but all the tents have been distributed..."

"Grandma, don't worry, let's go ask." Lin Ke comforted her.

Lin Ke found a volunteer and asked, "Hello, do you have any tents left? There are still many elderly people and children who haven't received any."

"I'm sorry, all the tents have been distributed. Supplies are very tight now and we are also trying to contact the outside world for transportation." The volunteer said apologetically.

"Is that so..." Lin Ke pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, I will personally invest and buy another batch of tents. How many do you think it will cost?"

"Really? That's great!" The volunteer was delighted. "We probably need another 100 tents."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away." Lin Ke said, took out his cell phone and called his assistant. "Hello, Assistant Zhang, please contact them right now and see where I can buy tents. I need 100 tents and have them delivered to the disaster relief center as soon as possible..."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ke said to the volunteers: "I have arranged for someone to buy tents, and they will be delivered soon. Please ask everyone to wait patiently for a while."

"Okay, thank you, thank you so much!" said the volunteer excitedly.

Lin Ke smiled, said nothing, and turned back to Wang Huaiyuan.

"Brother Ke, you are awesome!" Wang Huaiyuan gave Lin Ke a thumbs up, "I knew you would help them."

"This is what I should do." Lin Ke said calmly, "When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid. Now the people in the disaster area are in trouble, so let's help as much as we can."

"Yeah!" Wang Huaiyuan nodded heavily.

At this time, Lin Ke's cell phone rang. It was his assistant calling.

"Hey, Assistant Zhang, what's going on?"

"Brother Lin, I have already made the contact. The tent will be delivered in two hours."

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ke said to Wang Huaiyuan: "Let's go and help the volunteers set up tents."

"it is good!"

The two came to the square and started setting up tents with the volunteers.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.

Trucks loaded with supplies slowly drove into the rescue center square. Volunteers cheered and came forward to help unload the goods.

Lin Ke and Wang Huaiyuan also joined the unloading team. They unloaded boxes of mineral water, instant noodles, bread and medicines from the truck, and then sorted and stacked them.

Lin Ke had just unloaded a box of mineral water from the car when he saw Wang Huaiyuan running towards him with a pale face.

"Brother Ke, something bad has happened!" Wang Huaiyuan was out of breath, his tone full of panic.

Lin Ke's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition came over him. "What's wrong? Tell me slowly."

"I... I just received a call from my parents... they..." Wang Huaiyuan's voice began to tremble and his eyes turned red.

"What happened to them?" Lin Ke's heart began to lift. He vaguely guessed something, but still hoped that he was overthinking.

"They... they are missing too..." Wang Huaiyuan finally said it, unable to hold back his tears any longer.

Lin Ke suddenly felt a buzzing in his head, as if a thunderclap had exploded in his ears. He supported the shaky Wang Huaiyuan and asked in a deep voice, "What happened? Tell me slowly, when did it happen?"

Wang Huaiyuan took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and recounted what had happened in a disjointed manner.

It turned out that Wang Huaiyuan's parents lived at the foot of the mountain. When the flood came, they were working in the fields. By the time they reacted and wanted to run away, it was too late.

"I just received a call from the village party secretary, saying that they still haven't found my parents..." Wang Huaiyuan's voice choked, and he tightly grasped Lin Ke's arm, as if grasping the last straw, "Brother Ke, do you think my parents will..."
