Chapter 198: Chapter 197: So Warmth Is t With Late Regret (7) Chapter 198: Chapter 197: So Warmth Is t With Late Regret (7) Ever since the Apocalypse broke out, finding an opportunity to avoid the crowds and enter the space has been far from easy.
It was better before entering the settlent point; one could co and go freely. But once inside, with the area teeming with people and increasingly strict controls, she barely found any significant block of ti.
Occasionally, she could only use her thoughts to take things in and out of the space, which unfortunately was very exhausting. After doing it too often, she would feel tired, and it was not as good as directly entering and exiting.
Moreover, with her thoughts, she could only take out what she had put in. For example, she couldn’t move the well water in the space.
Just as Su Shu was at her wit’s end, suddenly an explosive piece of news ca through!
The settlent points in the East City Area were going to rge!
Surprised, Su Shu walked out of the tent, the sun was blazing outside. Like everyone else, she had a towel soaked in cool water draped over her head. Looking around, everything was a white blur.
Li Xiaoxia was sitting at the foot of the tent, beside whom Luo Gang had placed a board for shade. It provided shade for the face but not the body; still, Li Xiaoxia felt it was much better than stifling inside the tent.
Suddenly a shadow fell over her head, and she saw Su Shu coming out.
“Why did you co out, where’s Xiao’ai?”
“I wiped her down, and she’s asleep now. When it gets hot at noon, children get sleepy.”
“That’s true, is it too stuffy inside?”
Su Shu nodded, looking down at her, “I just heard inside that East City is rging?”
Li Xiaoxia laughed, “You have sharp ears. Yes, Luo Gang ca back with water earlier and ntioned that it seems they are going to rge. The several dozen settlent points in East City, I heard the city is going to reorganize.”
Su Shu felt joy in her heart; the start of the rger of East City settlent points ant she was one step closer to the independent living environnt she wanted.
Spending all day with a whole bunch of people, she could hardly use her space comfortably.
Gazing into the distance, many people were discussing this matter. The sun overhead was relentless, fiercely baking the earth. Su Shu suggested Li Xiaoxia not to overexpose herself, or she’d get heatstroke, and to go into the tent earlier if necessary. Li Xiaoxia nodded, using the cardboard as a fan to cool herself off.
“I’m not afraid of the sun, I just can’t stand the stuffiness. It’s too stuffy inside. Wake Xiao’ai up in a bit, don’t let her sleep for too long, the heat is bad for the children.”
“Got it.”
As the two were chatting, suddenly many people surged towards the bulletin board at the entrance of the gymnasium courtyard.
“What’s happening?” Li Xiaoxia, who had difficulty moving, could only ask Su Shu. Su Shu was also unsure, she said “I’ll go take a look,” then rewashed her towel, draped it on her head, and headed there.
By the ti she arrived, the bulletin board was already surrounded by an impenetrable wall of people. Despite her efforts, she just couldn’t squeeze in, which showed how crowded it was.
If she couldn’t squeeze in, then she wouldn’t try. Spotting soone coming out, she quickly stepped forward to stop them.
“Excuse , what’s happening on the bulletin board?”
The man had an honest look, and seeing a young girl asking, he hurriedly relayed what he saw on the notice.
Behind her, many people who like Su Shu hadn’t managed to get in, crowded around when they heard him talking.
He said, “The notice says the Linjiang Region is in a severe disaster state and they need manpower for cleanup. They’re recruiting volunteers to go help in the disaster area.”
“Help with what? Cleaning up debris, and then we can go ho?” soone asked.
“I don’t know about that, the notice didn’t say. It just ntioned that they’re recruiting volunteers to help, oh, and right, there are three types of volunteers that we ordinary citizens can choose from.”
Everyone eagerly asked, “What are they, what are they?”
Su Shu also stared at him waiting to hear.
The man said, “One type is helping the officials clear dead bodies and debris, and there’s also…”
He hadn’t finished speaking when several exclamations of “Ah—” ca from all around, so with disgust, so with sympathy, all sorts of reactions.
