It just dawned at ten o'clock, and it's almost November now. Gu Ning compared the weather in another world and felt that it was much colder here. In addition, the sun goes down at three o'clock, and it's completely dark at four o'clock. The light only came out at ten o'clock in the morning, and the sunshine time did not exceed five hours. It was fine during the day, but it was even colder at night, just like winter. If you don't have a thick quilt to keep you warm, you will easily get sick. Unhealthy, even worse, and there is no medical treatment for illness.
Recently, the base has distributed some quilts for free, but the supply is in short supply. Every day, it is heard that weak children and the elderly die.
When Gu Ning and the others left the base, a group of people witnessed a mother kneeling in front of the tent with a two- to three-year-old child in her arms, patting the dead child in her arms. The sun had just risen from the east, and the warm sunlight shone on the frail body of the child who was frozen to death, but it could not warm his icy body.
Even Sister Hong, who has the most vicious mouth and the most ruthless actions in the third company, has an indescribable feeling when she sees this scene, as if a big stone is stuck in her chest, her breathing is not smooth, and she is very stuffy, not to mention she is kind-hearted The method is Cheng Ming and the third brother who used to take protecting the people as their own responsibility.
Everyone has mixed feelings in their hearts, and they are unspeakably uncomfortable. They live in the best house, wear warm cotton clothes, and have warm quilts at night. Even if they have a headache and a cold, there is a doctor in the team.
That night, Gu Ning quietly visited the director of the management office, directly explained his intentions, and donated a batch of supplies in the name of the third company, including 300 bags of rice, and the winter rice that Gu Ning bought in large quantities from another world. Clothes and quilts, as well as some urgently needed medicines at the base.
For Director Zhong of the management office, Gu Ning still trusts him very much. He has seen him secretly give some supplies to the elderly and children in the base, and he has dealt with many people in normal times. He will occasionally talk to Gu Ning about his powerlessness. There was a deep compassion in his eyes.
Three hundred bags of rice were neatly stacked by the wall, each bag weighing fifty catties! Now the porridge distributed by the base every night, there may not be a bowl of rice in the big pot of porridge, and if you scoop it down with a spoon, it will be like clear water, even the water is not white. Director Zhong is in a hurry. Looking at the common people who are getting weaker and weaker day by day, Director Zhong is very anxious, but the support materials from the capital are delayed again and again. The materials of the base are limited, and the group of people who help the base construction with hard work must be supported first.
But these three hundred bags of rice are a total of 15,000 catties of rice! Saving a little should last until the next batch of supplies arrives in the capital!
There are also quilts and clothes that can keep out the cold, and even more rare are medicines that are scarce in the world now!
Director Zhong was stunned when he knew that Gu Ning was going to donate such a large amount of supplies. After confirming again and again that Gu Ning was going to donate, he was moved to tears and was speechless for a long time.
Gu Ning only made two requests.
One is that the news that she donated materials should not be leaked.
The second is to ensure that these materials are given priority to the elderly and children.
Although Director Zhong couldn't understand the first item, he still agreed very solemnly. After thanking you again and again, after Gu Ning declined his proposal to send her back, I was deeply moved when I saw the materials piled up in half the room.
Gu Ning only felt relaxed when he came out of the management office.
She had already consulted most of the team for her decision, and everyone agreed with it very much. Only Sister Hong worried that giving so many supplies at once would be bad for them in the future, but she didn't say much in the end.
At dawn the next day, before they were ready to go out, the management office sent everyone to notify them to go to the conference room on the second floor of the management office for a meeting. There was an emergency and all staff were required to be present.
The base management office still belongs to the authoritative management class of the base. No matter how powerful Gu Ning and the others are, they are still within the jurisdiction of the base.
Therefore, this small conference room is already full of supernatural beings from the base at this time, and the familiar supernatural beings are whispering the information they have obtained. Gu Ning glanced at Zhang Ji who was sitting opposite. , Zhang Ji shook his head, expressing that he didn't know what it was. Jia Daochang, the part-time minister of foreign affairs and intelligence in the third company, had already moved to the other teams with a smile on his face, and sat back within a few minutes, saying that none of the others knew what was going on.
So we can only find out after the base manager comes.
The head of the base is a middle-aged man of about forty-five years old, wearing a gray woolen sweater, his hair is very messy on the top of his head, he looks like he got up too hastily and has no time to comb his hair, but everyone who knows him knows I know he has always had this hairstyle. When he walked in from the door, he looked like a middle-aged man who was everywhere on the streets before the end of the world, and there was nothing about him that could be seen as the characteristics of a high-ranking official. Compared to him, Director Zhong, who walked in with a frowning brow following him, looked more like the head of the base. Director Zhong's frown was slightly stretched when he saw Gu Ning, and he nodded to Gu Ning unobtrusively.
Then the head of the base sat in his seat, and then Director Zhong sat in the first position on the right.
After the base chief yawned, he said slowly, "Director Zhong, please announce the matter to everyone."
Director Zhong leaned forward slightly, with a solemn expression on his face: "Because the situation is urgent, I won't go around with you. Please come here in such a hurry, because there is a very urgent matter that needs everyone's help."
Seeing Director Zhong's serious face, all the supernatural beings present realized that something big must have happened this time.
"It's a message from the capital. Two or three of our helicopters were attacked by unknown objects in Baoxi District yesterday, and they made an emergency landing in Baoxi District. We lost contact after that." Director Zhong frowned, very cautiously. Said: "There is very valuable information on the research and development of the zombie virus vaccine on this helicopter, and it is escorted by several supernatural beings."
As soon as Director Zhong said this, the conference room immediately exploded.
Zhang Ji took the lead and asked, "Has a vaccine for the zombie virus been developed?!"
Director Zhong said solemnly: "Not yet. But according to the news from the capital, the information carried on the helicopter has a breakthrough effect on the research and development of vaccines, and there is also a medical expert who has made a breakthrough on the zombie virus. If something happens An accident is a huge loss to the entire human race! If the vaccine is successfully developed, then our country, and even the whole world, will be saved!"
Someone asked hesitantly: "So you are calling us here now, are you going to let us find that document?"
Director Zhong nodded: "That's right."
The conference room became noisy in an instant. Director Zhong said that he was attacked by an unknown object. It was obviously an evolutionary zombie, and an evolutionary zombie that could attack a helicopter. It is not necessary to think that it must be dangerous, not to mention the area where the helicopter made an emergency landing. It's Baoxi District! Baoxi District is a well-known zombie-intensive area, and generally collecting supplies will not go there. This base actually wanted them to risk their lives, and their dissatisfaction overflowed all at once.
Gu Ning fell into deep thought and didn't speak.
Someone said: "Evolved zombies that can attack helicopters... Director Zhong, although we are supernatural beings, this is too dangerous..."
"We are all ordinary people too... Besides, since the news was received from the capital, why didn't the capital send people to look for it? Wouldn't it be enough to send a few more helicopters there?!"
"That's right! And there are supernatural beings on the plane, maybe those supernatural beings have escaped? We ran to look for them, but they were all in vain!"
This remark attracted a burst of echo. After all, no one wants to take this risk for the task of saving the world.
Director Zhong's face was already very ugly at this time: "Everyone, our base is the closest to Baoxi District. It is only two hours away from here to the other side. If we send people from the capital, at least we have to It will take a long time. Rescuing people is like fighting a fire, and every minute of delay will put those people and the information on the plane in danger." He paused, and then said: "Everyone must have lived in the base for a while, if there is no protection from the base , I think you are not as stable as you are now. Now that you have enjoyed the protection of the base, you also need to fulfill some obligations." He said here, and after taking a look at Gu Ning, he continued: "And this time, it is not for nothing. No matter what the final result of this task is, as long as everyone participates, everyone will have a bonus of 50 catties of rice!"
There was silence in the meeting room.
There has been a severe shortage of supplies recently.
Although the third company has not stopped exchanging materials, it is still a bit painful to exchange them with crystal cores that can expand the ability pool. What's more, with 50 catties of rice for one person, it is enough to last for several months. Just when the people in the conference room were hesitant, a voice said sarcastically: "No matter how many supplies you have, you have to use them for your life."
Most of the people in the conference room were immediately stunned by this sentence, and several teams immediately chose to quit.
Zhang Ji has not stated his position, but from time to time, he will look at the third company on the opposite side.
During these few glances, Zhang Ji saw that the third brother looked at Gu Ning anxiously. Gu Ning was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, and the expression on the third brother's face immediately calmed down.
Zhang Ji was a little puzzled about the interaction between the third brother and Gu Ning.
As far as he knows, the captain of the third company is the third brother. Gu Ning brought her parents with them. Although she is a space-type superpower, she has two burdens. It stands to reason that her position in the team should be a bit embarrassing. Yes, but in the only meeting with the whole team of the third company, Zhang Ji would have the feeling that Gu Ning's status in this team is not as low as he imagined. At this time, the very subtle interaction between the third brother and Gu Ning proved this point.
Then he heard the third brother say: "Director Zhong, can you provide us with a specific location for the helicopter to make an emergency landing?"
Zhang Ji was stunned. So the meaning of the third brother's glance at Gu Ning just now is to ask for her opinion? !
Director Zhong was also stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "At that time, there were positioning devices on the helicopters, and the capital has already transmitted the range accurate to 500 meters to us."
Everyone else in the conference room was silent. Unexpectedly, the third company, which has always been a loner, not easy to get ahead, and the relationship with the management office is not very close, will suddenly come out.
The third brother nodded, and then said with a smile: "Okay. Then count us in." This smile is very relaxed, and there is no sense of forcing.
The third company and Zhang Ji's team are the two strongest teams recognized by the base. But the third company had no intention of recruiting other supernatural beings after arriving at the base, and Zhang Ji's team had already received five supernatural beings in less than a month after arriving at the base. The number of people suddenly overtook the third company. But maybe the third company was mysterious enough and revealed a huge amount of supplies, so everyone in the base did not subconsciously think that Zhang Ji's team must be better than the third company.
