The Beginning of Natural Disaster, I Won by Hoarding Tens of Billions of Supplies Chapter 444: Welcome Home

2688 passed by Platform C, where a prominent red sign read: “Wele Home, patriots of the Motherland. Turn right for 5 kilometers to report at Platform A.” 

Platform A has a deep-sea dock, which is connected to the platform by a corridor bridge. 

2688 docked at slot 79, climbed ashore, looked around, and saw several submarines of the same model. 

There was a shortage of supplies due to the natural disaster, and most of the survivors were malnourished for a long time and were as thin as bamboo poles. 

To avoid drawing attention, Jiang Ning rummaged through some discarded old clothes, not forgetting to apply a worn and disheveled makeup look. 

As for the dog, it was still unfamiliar with the new surroundings, so Jiang Ning had no choice but to stuff it into a hiking backpack carried by Huo Yishen. 

Fearing it might expose itself by getting too fortable, Jiang Ning coaxed and lied, “There are bad people outside who want to eat dog meat.” 

Eat dog meat? Coke was immediately furious and wanted to rush out to fight. 

Jiang Ning quickly changed her words to fort it, “No, they’ve never seen a dog. If they encountered a majestic and powerful one like you, what if they get scared and demand pensation from me? 

If it es to that, I can only offer your favorite leg in pensation, and then you’d only be left with porridge to eat.” 

For the sake of the legs, the dog got into the backpack with frustration. 

The iron lock corridor bridge is 3 kilometers long, and it is shaky when people walk on it. It took almost an hour to reach Platform A. 

Platform A is very large, and it is an external administrative and functional department. The office area is also posed of special containers. 

In order to reduce the resistance of wind and waves, the container is less than 3 meters high, which is similar to an ordinary mercial building. 

The steel plate is very thick and solid to step on. If you ignore the vast ocean outside, it can create a false sense of being on solid ground. 

The new homeland was named Huacheng. Currently, there were over 10,000 survivors, among which about 5,000 were pioneers who had e with the eastern military base.  

The number of survivors from the tectonic collision was definitely higher; however, many lost their lives while searching for a new home in the dangerous ocean for a long time.  

After ten years of natural disasters in a country with over a billion people, only a little over 10,000 had successfully reached their new homeland. 

It was difficult not to feel a wave of sadness. 

As for how many more patriots would arrive in the future, the staff were initially uncertain but had bee much more optimistic recently. 

With the announcement of the coordinates for the new homeland, an increasing number of survivors began to arrive. 

A few days ago, a transport ship from the official base of Shandong Province came, and more than 500 survivors suddenly appeared. 

When the staff learned about their adventures, their eyes widened. 

They actually encountered mutated monsters months ago, and not only did a mysterious person help eliminate the monsters, but they also sent two ships of supplies. 

At first, the staff thought that the survivors had mental problems. 

However, it wasn’t just one person saying this; everyone on that ship had reported the same story. 

The situation looks serious, so the staff quickly summoned a military doctor. 

The assessment revealed that indeed over half of them had mental health issues. While a small group had pletely lost their sanity, others should be fine after some conditioning. 

But how to describe this situation? The staff could only treat it as a story. 

There were new survivors ing to report, and the staff immediately greeted them warmly, “Wele home.” 

Doudou was very happy to see a living person, “Hello, big brother and big sister.” 

Huacheng is currently only accepting survivors of its own nationality, so the inquiry work is very careful, including where they are from, which base they were in before, what disaster escaped tools they have and so on. 

These questions were not difficult for Jiang Ning and the others, as the submarine from the southern military base was right there. 

But the staff were incredibly surprised, “You’re not part of the Fire Seed Plan so how did you get a submarine?” 

Jiang Ning replied honestly, “We went out to collect some rare metals, which happened to resolve an urgent need for the military factory, and that’s how we managed to exchange for a submarine.”  

The questions were very detailed, asking how they had survived at sea for the past few months, what they ate and drank, and more, making them more talkative than a chatty neighborhood auntie. 

After the information was reviewed and approved, a physical examination was required. 

Physical examination? Jiang Ning was puzzled. 

The other party did not explain too much but just asked them to go to the next room, where men and women were separated. 

A military doctor was there to check them, examining their symptoms, medical history, any disfort, and so on. Finally, the doctor said, “Take off your clothes.” 

Jiang Ning was confused, “Why do I need to take off my clothes?” 

“Routine examination.” 

Fortunately, she didn’t have to remove her underwear, and Jiang Ning tried to endure her disfort and cooperate. 

The doctor looked at her and said, “That’s enough.” 

Jiang Ning thought, “Do you suspect that I have mutated?” 

The doctor was about the same age as Jiang Ning, and seeing that she was in good physical condition, she nodded and said, “Many survivors live in harsh environments. To survive, they might bee prey for marine life or eat them instead. In short, consuming things they shouldn’t could lead to various health issues.”

The base has limited resources and can only conduct simple examination. Those with health problems will need treatment.” 

After that, she handed the signed physical examination results to Jiang Ning, “Just take it back to the reception office.” 

Jiang Ning glanced at the physical examination form: A . 

She waited at the door for a while, Huo Yishen and Doudou came out one after another, both receiving A as well. 

Just as she was about to speak, a survivor inside suddenly shouted, “Let me go, I’m not sick, I’m not sick!” 

The door was opened, and two soldiers carried the middle-aged survivor out. 

The middle-aged survivor was agitated and struggled hysterically, “I’m not sick!” 

Jiang Ning noticed he had several lumps on his face. 

They were not big, but they were definitely not pimples. 

Jiang Ning pulled Doudou and quickly stepped back to avoid being infected by him. 

The man’s skin was tanned, his body was thin, his skin was cracked, his eye sockets were protruding, and his eyes were yellow and turbid. 

He must have survived by his own means and successfully found the base. 

After drifting at sea for so long, how else could he have survived without eating marine life or his kind? 

Jiang Ning fully understood why the Huacheng base categorized survivor health levels. 

People’s hearts are both good and evil, and morality has a bottom line. 

After drifting on the sea for several months, many people have physical or mental problems. 

If patients and healthy individuals were housed together, it could lead to infections or tragic events. 

After all, natural disasters can drive people insane, and it’s not unmon for crazed individuals to mit acts of violence.  

They categorized and managed the survivors while treating the sick and helping the healthy survivors start a new life.

The three returned to the reception, and the staff read the experience report and assigned them to live in Area B. 

They have to pay for food, and there are two ways to earn it. One is to participate in the construction of the base to earn wages, and the other is to support yourself by planting. 

Of course, if you are rich and powerful, it’s no problem to live using your own supplies. 

But given the hardships survivors had endured; surviving was already a great fortune. In life-and-death situations, who still had supplies? Those who managed to find a new homeland were either from military bases or official bases. 

Whether military or official, they essentially belonged to the country. 

There were only a few private groups like Jiang Ning’s, but they were extremely rare. 

Therefore, the base has issued relevant policies, allowing rent and supplies to be delayed for up to three months. 

But if you delay the payment, you can only be given one room, and only 2 kilograms of food will be provided in the first 3 months, which will increase to 5 kilograms of food later.
