Chapter 770: Relocation Hotpot

wn, I wouldn't have invited him over!"Mr. Pan explained somewhat awkwardly.As a fellow teacher, I'd like to add a few words. From the look in his eyes, I sensed something was off about him. You haven'...Captain Song had already considered this. Yuan Chongming's team consisted of retired soldiers, special police officers, and even rumored lone wolf operatives. Such a team would be difficult to integrate with others. They only trust partners they can rely on with their lives, so forming an independent unit is the best option.

"Your personal equipment will be provided here, as well as the latest intel. There will be dedicated personnel to assist you with this. After completing your mission, you'll be responsible for acquiring provisions or other necessities. We won't impose any specific regulations on this."

Song, the captain, was still listing the benefits when Yuan Chongming directly interrupted him and said in a serious tone:

"Captain Song, we joined only to do our part during this special period. We're not afraid of danger in the mission, but my team and I are not cannon fodder. Every life is precious."

Song, the captain, was taken aback for a moment, then burst into a hearty laugh and said:

"Captain Yuan, you misunderstood! People with your talents are too valuable for us to use as cannon fodder. The most dangerous part of the job is having you infiltrate and act as spies within the dark forces."

To be honest, because this natural disaster came so suddenly, our country's initial preparations were insufficient and our emergency response capabilities were lacking. The survivors were also acting for themselves, and some bad elements and foreign forces have once again taken advantage of the disaster to stir up trouble. This is something we cannot tolerate.

But at this stage, our main task is still to rescue survivors and ensure everyone can survive this extreme cold weather. So it's really not possible to spare manpower to hunt down those hiding in the shadows.

Last time you reported that Xu Shengli was occupying the Banshanwan residential area, because you said there was food there, I sent people to deal with it. And thanks to your squad member infiltrating beforehand, we were able to take down those criminals in one go. If you hadn't said there was food there, they would have been running rampant for a while longer.

"This time, Sun Qiang's team is the same. These are important things that we currently can't spare too many people to do. And your existence just makes up for our weaknesses, which is why I sincerely invite you to join us."

Song Da, the team leader, was not angry. He slowly explained to Yuan Chongming.

Judging from their attitude, it's clear they value their partner very much. And to stand up for them in this situation shows that they are a principled and responsible person.

"I apologize for interrupting Captain Song's words just now. I was out of line."

Yuan Chongming immediately apologized.

"No, you are also for the team members. It's their fortune to have a captain like you."

Since you've agreed, what day are you planning to move in

Song the team leader asked directly.

"Tomorrow, we'll still have two logistics personnel, they happen to be a married couple, who can take care of my nephew while I'm on a mission, so I can feel more at ease."

“Okay, I’ll give you a warrant. Report tomorrow with your people. I'll also assign four more to your squad, making it nine people—a complete action team.”

“Okay, then we’ll move in tomorrow.”

When Yuan Chongming went back and told his companions about the negotiation, everyone agreed. Only Lian'yi was a little reluctant to leave, but since she came to repay her benefactor, she would naturally follow him wherever he went.

She packed all the obvious things into two large suitcases. Everything else, from the nooks and crannies, was also stashed away, including Spin's toy. Spin was frantic, meowing loudly and clinging to Ripples' hand, wanting to know where his toy had gone.

The next day, a group of seven adults and one child, accompanied by a black cat, left the Shanshui Huating residential complex. Because they were carrying large bags and even a gas cylinder when they left, everyone in the neighborhood realized they were not coming back.

As soon as Xue Haiyang stepped out of the neighborhood gate, he ran after him.

"Please wait a moment."

Upon turning back, Yuan Chongming frowned and asked:

Is there anything

"Well then, where are you all going Aren't you planning to come back"

It's none of your business.

One sentence shut Xue Haiyang up so badly he didn't know how to respond.

Since the last time he attracted a band of thugs who stole food, everyone on the 15th floor has been annoyed with him. He was well aware of this and avoided going near them. This time, he was so desperate that he chased them out.

The reason their neighborhood could maintain a faade of stability without being forcefully protected by the grain reserves was because of these few individuals. Those who opposed them either ended up dead or crippled. Because of their reputation for ruthlessness, nobody dared to cause trouble. Now that they've left, the neighborhood has lost its protection, and he's starting to panic.

"You left, what are we going to do"

Xue Haiyang said with a worried frown.

"What you're saying is ridiculous! We leave, and you'll all die Just do whatever you want!"

"It's not that you're gone, I'm afraid someone will come to the door!"

Xue Haiyang awkwardly said.

"That's even more ridiculous. If someone bullies you, you should fight back! We're not your hired bodyguards, and we have no obligation to protect you."

Zhao Jia directly fired back.

“”

After putting the person down, Xue Haiyang was left standing dishevelled in the wind. The crowd still turned and left the Shanshui Huating residential area.

Before the ripples, she asked Shiju. Shiju told her that when a meteorite hit Earth, several buildings in their district collapsed, including Building No. 4 where Yuan Chongming lived. Although she felt some reluctance after choosing to join the military and police this time, she still decided to leave.

Upon arriving at the military camp, they checked in and received numbered cards. Then, they went to their designated accommodations. They were assigned to a small high-rise building where seven people shared two rooms and one living room, with at least 100 square meters of space. It was considered quite good treatment.

The military and police base was originally a group of suburban apartment buildings. After development, some had already been sold. The remaining rooms had doors and windows, while others only had large frames with no doors or windows. After the natural disaster, they directly requisitioned these buildings.

We had taken in many people displaced by the flooding. Then the temperature dropped, and the buildings with no doors or windows became uninhabitable. Due to the sudden extreme cold, many people froze to death. The rest returned to their original neighborhoods, even if they just huddled in the hallways, it was better than staying in those drafty houses.

In the second month after the extreme cold weather, when the military and police had tidied up the place, they began to gradually accept homeless people, providing them with a place to stay.

To get something to eat, these people also joined the supply-seeking teams, helping the military and police transport supplies back in exchange for some food, barely sustaining their lives.

The food found previously at the mountainside and Sunqiang's stronghold were brought back by their organization of survivors, they didn't want to use vehicles for transportation, it was because gasoline had become a non-renewable resource, saving as much as possible, meanwhile also giving survivors a way to survive.

The ripples went into the house, swept around once, feeling a bit cramped. She turned and went to the registry office, wanting a single room. She directly gave the small officer a pack of soft Chinese cigarettes.

"Ms. Yu, it's not that I don't want to give you one. Your squad can only get one free apartment. If you want a single room, you have to pay for it yourself."

The junior officer explained.to country Y. I'd have them look after me there and see if we can start some businesses. My third concubine comes from a family of merchants and is well-educated herself. My fourth concubine is very...
