SRTT Chapter 38.6

After the people over there got closer, Cheng Jili followed a woman whose actual age could not be seen and asked, “Auntie, where are you going?”

The woman was very envious when she saw that the girl actually had roller skates. She glanced at Cheng Jili unhappily and said, “I’m only 31 years old. Do you call me auntie?”

Cheng Jili was stunned and apologized repeatedly: “I’m sorry. I must be blind. Sister, please forgive me.”

The woman didn’t mean to embarrass Cheng Jili. She knew that she looked terrible right now, so she said, “The command center of the disaster relief camp asked us to dig the ice.”

Cheng Jili: “Digging ice?”

The woman said, “Yes, they said they would only provide one compressed biscuit per day. If you want more, you have to earn it yourself.”

“You can mine the ice for supplies, cut down trees, or exchange useful items with the disaster relief camp. You could also move the bodies and transport them to the designated place for incineration.”

“I don’t want to move corpses, and I don’t have the energy to chop trees, so I go to dig ice. Whether I can find something or not, I can earn some work points every day.”

Cheng Jili thanked her, skated back to Ruan Ning, and said worriedly, “I don’t know if Sister Lingxia has gone out.”

Ruan Ning said, “She is helping Dr. Zhou, so she shouldn’t need to go out to dig ice.”

Cheng Jili’s eyes lit up: “Yes, it’s better to master the skills, so you don’t have to work so hard.”

The two of them continued to move forward. Along the way, they saw countless people coming out of the disaster relief camp one after another.

Some of them were dressed quite thickly. Some of them didn’t know how many dead people’s clothes they had stripped off, with short sleeves over long sleeves, long sleeves over short sleeves, layer after layer, and even wrapped in a thin quilt outside. They were walking slowly.

Everyone’s face was dirty, so it was impossible to recognize their original appearance. Even their gender could not be distinguished.

The only ones who could be accurately identified were children, twelve or thirteen years old, who were now in the labor force.

Seeing Ruan Ning and Cheng Jili wearing down jackets with windproof jackets underneath, skates on their feet, and hats and scarves on their faces, the eyes of others were full of envy.

There were even many malicious eyes looking at the two of them.

Ruan Ning and Cheng Jili had actually crumpled up their going-out clothes until they looked like salted vegetables and even smeared a lot of firewood ash on them, but they didn’t expect that they would still be so eye-catching here.

Fortunately, this place was very close to the disaster relief camp, and there were guards with guns nearby, so these people dared not take action.

There were many people on the road, so it took them more than half an hour to reach their destination.

The exterior of this gymnasium has a sense of technology, or it used to have a sense of technology. It is a total of four floors high.

There was no entrance or exit gate on the fourth floor, so when the disaster relief camp was moved here, a window was broken and a curtain was hung there to block the wind.

Ruan Ning and Cheng Jili walked to the window and found that there were two armed soldiers standing guard.

When they saw Ruan Ning and Cheng Jili, they did not question them any further nor did they require them to hand in food before entering like people did in the other base.

Cheng Jili asked: “Do you know where Dr. Zhu is? She is a female doctor in her sixties. She is very skilled in medicine and used to be an expert doctor at the provincial hospital.”

One of the soldiers said enthusiastically: “You are looking for Dr. Zhu. Her office is in the innermost room on the left. It says ‘Medical Room’ on it. She is usually there at this time.”

It seemed that Dr. Zhu was very famous in the disaster relief camp and everyone knew her.

Ruan Ning smiled and said, “What about Brother Sun Yongchao?”

The person who just spoke showed a surprised expression.
