Sang Luoluo felt a headache coming on just listening to it.
Even through the screen, Sang Luoluo could feel someone's gaze fixed on her.
Someone suggested, "Base Commander, Sang Luoluo's spatial storage capacity can hold the supplies for 150 large trucks. I think we could have her safeguard the supplies for our high command so we can relocate them. Also, this would free up more manpower for rescue operations."
150 large trucks carrying supplies sounds like a lot, but it depends on what they're carrying. If they're all loaded with nutrient solutions and canned goods, then it could certainly feed a lot of people. But if they're carrying ordinary supplies, then it won't be much.
This person's suggestion was clearly an attempt to take advantage, wanting her to provide supplies to the higher-ups and act as a mobile warehouse, thus prioritizing the interests of those in power. The talk of freeing up more manpower for rescue efforts was just an excuse.
Sang Luoluo looked back and said gently, "Sir, my storage space has limited capacity. Although it can hold 150 large trucks, when you think about it carefully, 150 large trucks isn't that many."
"Base Commander, I can help the higher-ups move supplies, but I can't keep loading things up for everyone indefinitely. After all, I also need to use this space for other things."
Chapter 261 Why don't you call now, ma'am? Your package is too...
" Sang Luoluo, I know your abilities are special, but now the base is facing such a crisis. As members of the base's leadership, only if the leadership survives can the base's rescue and recovery proceed in an orderly manner. As a member of the base's leadership, you should think more about the needs of the leadership."
A shadow fell over Sang Luoluo's eyes; she knew in her heart that everyone had their eyes on her.
Composing herself, Sang Luoluo looked at the others and said calmly, "I'm stepping down. I'm also a high-level employee now. I was just expressing my opinion."
Base Commander Sang Tong stopped the noise and said in a low voice, "What's all the fuss about? The base's higher-ups aren't starving yet, and supplies are plentiful."
"The base has already dispatched all its personnel for rescue operations. Sang Luoluo has special abilities and is needed to transport supplies to the base's shelters. The base's population is the most critical issue. Fortunately, our base prepared a lot of food in advance for this rainstorm disaster, all of which has been packaged into cans. Nutrient solutions are also plentiful. The shelters are currently well-supplied with supplies, enough to last for ten days."
He then looked at Sang Luoluo and asked, " Sang Luoluo, how's the situation over there? Was your house flooded?"
Sang Luoluo said, "It'll be soon. The house has three floors, and the water is almost up to the second floor."
He added at the end, "That's how it is in this villa area."
Most of the high-ranking officials in the base live in this villa area. Perhaps your next-door neighbor is one of the high-ranking officials online.
Having been at Base No. 32 for so long, Sang Luoluo has never visited any of her neighbors. Everyone keeps to themselves, which is great.
Base Commander Sang Tong also knew the situation was critical, and said, " Sang Luoluo, I'll assign you a task. Once the water reaches the third level, I'll arrange for a boat to pick you up. At that time, you'll also need to bring the people and supplies from the villa area to the office building first."
Sang Luoluo readily nodded. "No problem."
Base Commander Sang Tong continued, "Please, all high-ranking officers, contact your families as soon as possible and prepare for your evacuation in the villa area."
Everyone readily agreed.
Next, Sang Tong announced several important matters.
According to reliable sources, several other bases on the outskirts were flooded, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. Some bases were completely wiped out, with very few survivors.
Meanwhile, several other bases are also suffering from the disaster, not only from torrential rains but also from attacks by mutated animals. They are also running out of food and have even requested assistance from Base No. 32. The situation is very bad.
Sang Luoluo listened to each story one by one, her heart heavy.
In the wasteland, it's really hard to survive.
Finally, Sang Tong announced a crucial piece of news that would determine the survival of the base.
"According to the latest weather monitoring by the base's meteorological department, the torrential rain may continue for the next two weeks, and the water level in the base will continue to rise. There are many tall buildings on the base that can be used as temporary shelters. Of course, if the rain becomes uncontrollable and even the tall buildings cannot hold it up, then people will have to rely on boats for survival."
"The base previously transported a lot of timber from the wild, and the base has arranged for people to modify it into simple wooden boats that can temporarily float on the water. In addition, there are some lightweight pieces of furniture that can also float on top and be used as temporary shelters."
"But that's not the hardest part."
Sang Luoluo's heart clenched as she listened.
"The meteorological department has also detected that a new round of meteorite showers will fall over the base in half a month, and may last for up to a month."
"What?"
"A new meteor shower?"
"Can the base withstand it?"
"Taking refuge on the water is difficult enough; if a meteor shower were to fall, would the base even have a chance of survival?"
"A month-long meteor shower? Are you sure it's been a month?"
There were all sorts of discussions below; everyone was terrified. This was no longer a matter of high-ranking officials versus ordinary citizens; in such terrible weather, survival was extremely difficult.
Base Commander Sang Tong composed himself and continued, "The base is already studying contingency plans. This disaster is unprecedented. Not only our Base No. 32, but several other surrounding bases are in the same situation, facing extreme difficulties. Let's all think of ways to overcome these challenges."
Report any progress to me immediately.
Sang Luoluo left the meeting with a heavy heart.
Is another meteor shower coming? Although the energy contained within them is a good thing, I still vividly remember the last meteor shower I experienced; a slight mishap could have been fatal.
When it's not raining, it's alright; you can take shelter underground, in air-raid shelters, or in sturdy fortresses. But now, in this torrential rain, it's hard to imagine. On one hand, it's pouring rain, so heavy it's hard to see, and on the other hand, you have to face a dense shower of meteorites. She's okay because of her spatial abilities, but what about everyone else? What about all the people in the base?
The torrential rain made the area outside the base extremely dangerous, leaving no chance to escape.
Everyone can only wait and face the impending disaster.
Soon, the wristwatch received messages exclusively accessible to high-ranking officers, including the latest weather information and base mobilization updates. Aside from the most classified details, she could see everything that high-ranking officers had access to.
Without taking a break, Sang Luoluo opened the door and went downstairs, where she saw that Qi Feng and everyone had already made a large wooden boat prototype, which would be completed in an afternoon.
"Everyone, please stop for a moment. I have something to announce."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Sang Luoluo.
Sang Luoluo had no intention of hiding anything from everyone. Their team had plenty of food, and everyone knew the situation so they could work together to find a solution, thus increasing their chances of survival.
Qi Feng noticed that Sang Luoluo was in a bad mood. "Is something wrong?"
Sang Luoluo informed everyone that the villa area was going to be relocated.
No one was too surprised. It was just a change of location, moving to an office building and having to live with other people. It wasn't too bad; the conditions were a bit worse, but they could manage. They'd encountered this situation before. Everyone was used to it. As long as Boss Sang was there, they felt reassured.
Sang Luoluo continued, "There's another heavy piece of news I need to tell everyone."
"The meteorological department also detected that the heavy rain will continue for another half month, and it's hard to say what will happen next. In addition, another round of meteorite showers will fall over the base in half a month, which may last for up to a month."
"I don't need to elaborate on the dangers involved, do I? Everyone should think of a solution, and don't get separated from each other in any situation."
Sang Luoluo looked at Qi Feng; he was experienced, and she could let him lead the team.
Qi Feng noticed the gazes and reassured everyone, "What's there to be afraid of? We have food and drink, and we even have a boat now. We've encountered meteor showers before, and we've overcome so many difficulties. We can do it again this time."
Lei Qi didn't seem to care much. "With Boss Sang around, and plenty of food and drink, I'm not afraid."
He Fei added, "We're not afraid."
Seeing that everyone was in good spirits and not feeling down, Sang Luoluo said, "I'm going to rest now. Call me if you need anything."
Sang Luoluo went into the room and started tending to the crops on the farm. This time, her Mental Power had upgraded, and the farm had also upgraded somewhat. The Spirit Spring Water had also increased in size, and the crops in the space were growing a little faster. Overall, there weren't any major changes.
Sang Luoluo thought for a moment and decided that, apart from the food that was regularly put on the shelves, the rest would be stored in the Stasis Zone. If the base needed them later, she could temporarily provide these supplies to the base on credit.
The base is facing a major problem: with such heavy rain, many parts of the base are flooded, and even finding a place to stay is a problem. Almost all areas are without power and water.
So, regarding the drinking water problem for so many people at the base, besides the previously packaged bottled water, which is enough for a certain period of time, there won't be any more freshwater resources.
Of course, the base has water purification machines, but their production capacity is limited. With the heavy rain, even finding a place to put the machines is a problem, not to mention the issues of transporting and storing mineral water bottles. Some equipment has been submerged and is difficult to retrieve from underwater.
At times like these, water is very important.
A person can survive without food, but it's very difficult to survive without water.
Well, the only saving grace is that it's the rainy season now. With such heavy rain, the air is already humid, so people can reduce their daily water intake.
