SRTT Chapter 74.8

Ruan Cifeng said, “I have discussed this with your mother. We can put a layer of acid-proof clothing on the RV. Maybe it will work.”

Ruan Ning thought for a moment and said, “This time, it won’t last too long, at most a week, and the corrosion is not as high as last time.”

“So, I want to go to New Hope Base and take a look.”

Ruan Cifeng’s eyes lit up: “Sure, I also want to go and take a look. Maybe I will spend my old age there in the future.”

Ruan Ning didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but what Ruan Cifeng said was true. If everything went well, they might really have to find a place to settle down.

The family agreed to rest where they were for one night and set off on a small motorcycle at dawn the next day.

Yingyan County is located in the south of Nanyuan City.

The distance to Yingyan County is about the same whether starting from Nanyuan City or Jinbei City.

This time, the three of them learned from their last lesson and tried not to take the wrong path. Fortunately, they arrived in Yingyan County after four days.

The last time Ruan Ning came here, it was still a small county town. Now it has become a big ruin. The county town of Yingyan County is like a stone hill, with collapsed houses all over.

The three of them did not go there, but they continued to head toward the planned site of the New Hope Base.

After another hour, they finally saw the dark mass of tents.

The New Hope Base has gathered more than 200,000 people, and 60,000 to 70,000 people were previously allocated to the coal mine. Now mining is no longer possible, and everyone lives on the plains.

Ruan Cifeng was shocked: “I didn’t expect the scale of 200,000 people to be so terrifying. I usually don’t feel it when I live in the city.”

Ruan Ning explained: “It may be more than 200,000. The tsunami at the seaside is serious, and many people are moving inland. I guess New Hope Base is their first choice.”

“How many people will that be?” Ruan Cifeng was shocked.

Ruan Ning didn’t know either because this was not mentioned in the novel.

Fortunately, in places like Xihai City, people coming from the seaside probably still have food, and maybe they can share some with the natives of New Hope Base.

Looking at Ruan Cifeng and Zhou Sulan, Ruan Ning said, “It must be inconvenient to live there. Let’s observe it first.”

Zhou Sulan nodded.

The three of them divided the backpacks, each carrying some potatoes and compressed biscuits, and Ruan Cifeng carried a tent.

Unlike other places, you don’t need to hand over anything to settle in New Hope Base. You just need to register your identity information and fill out a letter of commitment.

This letter of commitment mainly states that one must not steal or rob, otherwise, one will accept all severe punishments.

After Ruan Ning and the other two signed, the staff said, “There are many earthquakes now. To facilitate evacuation, everyone lives in more dispersed areas. You can live in District 55, which is a new area.”

Ruan Ning nodded and asked again, “Can I register to find someone?”

Staff: “Yes, but there are a lot of people looking for people here every day, and the chances of finding relatives are slim.”

Ruan Ning thought about it and realized that this was indeed quite troublesome. 

“Then can I ask where the defense team of the Jinbei City Disaster Camp is now? Can you help contact them?”

The staff member was stunned: “Who do you want to contact?”

Ruan Ning: “Cheng Jikuan or Cheng Jili, or Dr. Zhu from the disaster relief camp.”

“If it really doesn’t work, I know Major General Sun Yongchao.”

“Oh, I also know his fiancée.”

The staff member blinked and said quickly, “Then I’ll contact Lieutenant Cheng Jili directly for you.”

Ruan Ning’s eyes lit up.

Was Cheng Jili already a lieutenant?

It seemed that the two trips to Heihai Province were not in vain.

The staff took out a walkie-talkie and communicated with the base.

After waiting for about half an hour, Cheng Jili came running from a distance.
