Zhang Weidong's eyes were blazing when he heard it. Even though he had already known the result in advance through the car radio, he was still shocked to hear the person's personal description at this moment.
Then, Lin Yi stepped forward, took out the Portable Source Energy Detector, and handed it to Zhang Weidong.
"Captain Zhang, I mentioned to Captain Li before that this detector is not of much use here for the time being. It can be lent to the rescue team for use first. I hope it can help reduce everyone's casualties at night or in complex environments."
Zhang Weidong stood up solemnly, took the seemingly inconspicuous little device with both hands, as if holding some peerless treasure, and said repeatedly, "Staff Officer Lin, thank you so much."
He knew very well what a huge role this little thing could play. It was a key piece of equipment that could actually save lives.
After being excited, Zhang Weidong pondered for a moment and looked at Lin Yi, "Staff Officer Lin, your abilities and contributions are obvious to all. I have a merciless request, Command Headquarters, hoping to reserve an office for you in this building."
"In the future, we will have many questions about Source Energy that need to rely on your wisdom and experience. We hope that you can consult at any time."
"At the same time, we sincerely hope that, if it is convenient and willing for you, you can participate in some rescue operations as a volunteer and provide necessary assistance as appropriate.
"Of course, everything is based on your wishes and safety."
This proposal from Zhang Weidong not only shows high respect, but also contains deep expectations.
Lin Yi nodded in agreement without much hesitation.
"Okay. There is no need to make special arrangements for the office, just a place where we can stay and communicate. As for the rescue, I will participate as appropriate."
Even if Zhang Weidong doesn't mention it, he plans to get involved in order to exert influence and obtain information.
Once the matter is settled, Lin Yi will not stay any longer.
When we left the temporary Command Headquarters of the department store, it was completely dark outside, with only sporadic electric lights and emergency lights providing illumination.
He randomly found a hurried staff member at the door, and under his guidance, he finally found the area assigned to the Hongfu Restaurant survivors in a sea of tents that could not be seen.
At this time, the air was already filled with the simple aroma of heated food and the unique smell of crowds gathering.
Lin Yi searched for a while and found the tent with his parents' names on it.
Lifting the curtain, father Lin Ruiming and mother Zhou Jinghua were sorting out their few belongings by the faint light of the emergency lights.
Seeing Lin Yi come in, Zhou Jinghua immediately put down his things and pulled him to look up and down. "Xiao Yi, are you done? Have you eaten?"
"Mom, I'm done. I came here after I finished eating." Lin Yi smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "How are you doing here? Is there anything else you're missing? I don't think there are many things allocated."
Lin Ruiming waved his hand, "There is nothing missing, it's pretty good. Compared to when we were young, this is pretty good. In today's world, being able to have a stable place to stay and a safe family is better than anything else."
He looked at his son with pride in his eyes, "Seeing that you are so promising now and can help the country and so many people, Dad is really satisfied."
The mother also nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Xiaoyi, don't worry about us all the time. You must pay attention to your own safety and don't show off."
Lin Yi listened silently. He knew that parents were like this, hardworking and never complaining. Their greatest hope for their children was to have a safe future.
He took out two gray Spirit Radiance Crystal from his pocket and handed them over.
"Dad, Mom, this is the crystal that records <Basic Source Energy Guidance Technique>. If you have time, you should try to follow it. Source Energy is good for your health even if you are just getting started."
However, Lin Yi says this, but he actually knows in his heart that his parents are old, and with their learning ability, it would be extremely difficult for him to get started with Source Energy.
But no matter what, it never hurts to try.
Besides, if it really doesn't work, he will have other options in the future.
Lin Ruiming took the crystal and said, "Okay, we'll take it and try it later."
"Well, there's no harm in giving it a try." Lin Yi saw his parents accepted it, so he didn't stay any longer, "Then you guys go to bed early, I'll go back to the tent over there."
Saying goodbye to his parents, Lin Yi searched for a while and soon found the tent with his name on it, lifted the curtain and got in.
The tent is not big, and can barely accommodate two people lying side by side, with only a very small gap in the middle.
And there was already a person sitting inside
It is Chen Yu.
"Brother Yi! You're back!"
Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Yi, and then pointed to the small space with a grimace.
"Well, we will be 'tent mates' from now on. Materials are tight in the settlement, and there are not enough tents. Basically, two people have one tent. If there are people with children, three families have to squeeze into one tent."
Lin Yi glanced at the cramped environment, with no expression on his face and just nodded.
"I understand, it would be nice to have a shelter from the wind and rain."
Then, Chen Yu came up, handed Lin Yi dinner, and reported with a bit of gossip, "Brother Yi, you went to Command Headquarters. I don't know. After we registered here, we asked for volunteers, and many people signed up."
He counted on his fingers. "Uncle Jianjun went to join the militia. I heard that because he used to be Veteran, he was directly given to a squad leader."
"Me, Haotian, Yuxuan, and um, that guy Li Jie also gritted his teeth and signed up to join the rescue team. Uncle Ruiheng was assigned to the logistics side to help coordinate supplies. Ye Qingyu and Su Xiao also went to the logistics team and were said to be responsible for registration and organization."
"There are a few girls left, some have gone to the logistics to help, and some have gone to the medical tent to take care of the wounded."
"Oh, by the way, Uncle Ruiming has welding skills and will report to the maintenance team tomorrow. Auntie will also go to the material distribution point to help starting tomorrow."
Lin Yi listened quietly, with no surprise on his face.
This distribution is very reasonable.
In the apocalypse, as long as they are not completely desperate, everyone will instinctively find their own position, exert their value, and strive to survive.
"Yeah, I got it."
Lin Yi responded, sat down on the floor, and took his own dinner from Chen Yu.
Two compressed biscuits, a small bottle of water and a little pickle.
As for the materials they brought back from Hongfu Restaurant, they have been distributed by the settlement.
As far as Lin Yi knows, those foods that taste better and are more nutritious are basically given priority to the wounded and sick.
He didn't have any objection to this and just started eating in silence.
Of course, there is no need to talk about the taste, it is just the fuel necessary for survival.
Chen Yu watched from the side and rambled on about some rules and precautions of the settlement that he had learned about.
After Lin Yi finished eating, he wiped his hands and explained to Chen Yu several precautions in practicing Guidance Technique.
After the explanation, he pondered for a moment, took out a Spirit Radiance Crystal from his waist, and handed it to Chen Yu.
This crystal is slightly different from the other gray ones. The gray is mixed with a hint of white clouds.
Chen Yu's eyes straightened instantly.
This is clearly the same level as the crystal that gave Zhou Yuxuan a mechanical dog before. This is the crystal dropped by Giant Rock Abyss Bear!
"Brother Yi. This. This is so funny."
Chen Yu said polite words, but his eyes were fixed on the crystal, and his hand reached out uncontrollably.
