The dark space in Sang Luoluo's room had a comfortable temperature. Apart from being a bit dark, it wasn't bad at all, and it was better for resting than outside. They had only been there for a few hours, but they were already covered in a fine layer of sweat.
Sang Luoluo was woken up by her alarm clock in the morning and slept very comfortably in the space last night. After washing up, she left the space.
The tent flap was lifted, and everyone was having breakfast.
Lei Qi smiled broadly, "Good morning, Boss Sang, the canned food is ready."
Li Jiu quickly grabbed a hot can of eggs and handed it to Sang Luoluo, while also handing her a bottle of water with his other hand.
Sang Luoluo took it and sat down with everyone to eat slowly and leisurely.
The rain was still falling outside. Overnight, the fourth floor was flooded. There was no other way but to quickly move the office supplies and personnel from the fourth and fifth floors to the upper floors.
Some very bulky machines and furniture had to be discarded, and overnight they were soaked in water.
Qi Feng briefly explained what he had heard that morning, so that Sang Luoluo would have a general idea.
A moment later, a female secretary jogged over, searched through the crowd, located Sang Luoluo, bent down and whispered in her ear, "Ms. Sang, a high-level meeting will begin in twenty minutes, and your attendance is required."
Sang Luoluo nodded. "Okay, I understand. Thank you for coming to inform me."
After the female secretary finished speaking, she quickly left; judging from the direction she went, she was probably going to inform the next person.
Everyone looked at Sang Luoluo, Sang Luoluo said calmly, " Qi Feng, you're coming with me later. The rest of you wait here."
Sang Luoluo her hand and packed up everyone's tents and equipment, leaving each person only with a backpack containing emergency supplies, just in case.
I went up to the top floor with Qi Feng. Fortunately, the elevator was still working and was shuttling between the sixth floor and the top floor.
This was the first time Sang Luoluo had seen so many high-ranking officials present at the same time. She found her seat and sat down, while Qi Feng waited outside the door.
When the base commander Sang Tong, saw her, he nodded and greeted her.
Today's meeting covered even more material than the previous few days.
The base is now in a state of disaster, with many lower floors flooded and only some upper floors remaining as temporary shelters.
Of course, the safest place is still the base's shelter.
Today, Sang Luoluo was also assigned a task: to evacuate some residents. The ship could only carry a limited amount of supplies, and evacuating people was also troublesome, as was the transportation. If Sang Luoluo joined in, the efficiency would be higher, although she would also be more tired.
Sang Luoluo can go to work, but not work to the point of exhaustion. She also needs to rest, as her Mental Power is limited and needs time to replenish it after it's depleted.
"What time is it? You're still unwilling to give it your all. The survival of the base hinges on this critical moment. You can't just think of yourself." A high-ranking official stepped forward to question Sang Luoluo.
"Exactly, you're just relying on your special abilities. Everyone's begging you to this extent, and you still won't give it your all."
"It's a special time, so what's wrong with you putting in a little extra effort?"
"So many lives at stake, Miss Sang, wouldn't you do your part?"
There are many dissenting voices.
Base Commander Sang Tong was also in a dilemma. In this special period, it was even more necessary for the higher-ups to unite and prevent any trouble. However, Sang Luoluo's abilities were special, but she also had her bottom line. Others might not know, but he, as her cousin, knew that Sang Luoluo didn't care about the Crystal Core the base provided. She had been at the base for so long and had contributed so much, which was already out of respect for him, her cousin.
At this moment, someone spoke up in defense, "You are all high-ranking members, and you can see how dangerous it is outside. Sang Luoluo has done a lot, so why aren't you being more demanding of yourselves? At this critical moment for the survival of the base, everyone must obey orders. We have many Evolver in our base, but we can't joke around with their safety."
Without the slightest fear, Sang Luoluo stood up, making herself visible to everyone, and said gently, "The base commander is right. I am now a member of the base. I can contribute, but you cannot expect me to risk my life. I will do what I can to help the base. As for the selfish motives of certain individuals, I cannot satisfy them."
Base Commander Sang Tong added, " Sang Luoluo's arrangements are the base's responsibility. Now, let's discuss the rescue plan."
After the meeting, Sang Luoluo was assigned a rescue mission.
Considering that it will rain for another two weeks and the water level will only rise higher, the safest place in the base right now is the shelter. It has a large enough area and was built specifically for disaster relief, so all the disaster victims can be transferred to the shelter in one step.
Therefore, they began the rescue today, starting from the lowest-lying areas, with the entire base's Guard mobilized for the rescue.
Sang Luoluo was assigned to transfer personnel together with Sang Ping, the captain of the base's Guard, on several ships.
Sang Luoluo went to their accommodation on the 28th floor, where Lei Qi and the others were waiting.
Qi Xue leaned closer and asked, " Luoluo, what are your plans for us?"
Sang Luoluo thought for a moment and said, "Now you can also earn points for rescue work. So, Qi Feng will stay with me. The rest of you, I'll arrange a place for you. During the rescue, please be sure to pay attention to your own safety."
"Don't worry, Boss Sang, we know. We're all excellent swimmers; we've trained before. Don't worry about us," Lei Qi said.
Sang Luoluo nodded.
I quickly contacted Sang Jia, and she answered the phone very soon.
" Sang Jia, do you need any extra manpower? I have a few people here who can come and help you."
Sang Jia's tone was somewhat excited. He had witnessed the abilities of his aunt's men before, and he readily replied, "Yes, we need them. Where are they? Send someone to pick them up. My Guard has enough boats; we just need some good swimmers."
Sang Luoluo: "I'll give you their contact information."
Sang Mei stepped forward. "Auntie, what can I do? I trained in the Guard for a while before, so I can help."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo said, "You should come with me."
Sang Mei readily agreed, "No problem."
Sang Luoluo led her people down to meet up with Sang Ping. By this time, he had already prepared several boats to set off at any time, and several places in need of rescue had been marked on the map.
Sang Luoluo and the other two jumped out of the window on the fourth floor.
It landed steadily on the boat.
Sang Ping had witnessed Sang Luoluo's abilities, and he was especially pleased to hear that Sang Luoluo had just relocated the families of the base's high-ranking officials. With such a powerful helper, the mission would be easier to complete.
Sang Ping had several skilled boatmen under his command, and the boat darted off in the rain with great speed and stability, a completely different experience from yesterday.
Sang Luoluo was secretly amazed.
Sang Ping said, "I'm going to a nearby residential area right now. I've already told the people there to pack everything they can bring. You just need to transfer them to the ship. If there are any extra packages, you'll need to pack them."
Sang Luoluo replied calmly, "No problem."
I pulled my raincoat tighter to make sure I didn't get wet.
A gust of wind blew up, and the torrential rain lashed down on people, making them feel suffocated.
Everyone lost their sense of humor and soon arrived at the first residential area. Many people were standing on the upper floors waiting for rescue, while those on the lowest floors had already occupied the rooftops, waving their hands and waiting for help.
As we passed by, several corpses floated on the water, their pale skin and disheveled hair startling the people on the boat. Suddenly, they emerged from around the corner—an old man, a child, and a woman—their appearance was horrific and sent chills down our spines.
Especially after being soaked in radioactive rainwater for a long time, drifting along with the current, it makes one feel even more desolate.
Seeing this scene, Sang Mei felt a lump in her throat and looked ahead, thinking, "Has someone already died?"
Sang Ping, however, remained composed, having seen this situation many times before. "There's nothing we can do; it's a natural disaster and a man-made calamity. Such heavy rain hasn't happened in over a hundred years, and this is just the beginning. I've heard from the elders in my family that whenever a major disaster strikes, countless people die."
"It might get even worse in the future."
Sang Luoluo and Qi Feng exchanged a glance. They both recalled the scene of Base 71 being destroyed by the great earthquake. The situation back then was even more tragic than it is now. There were ruins and corpses everywhere. After being exposed to the sun, the corpses stank, and there were mutated animals. Just thinking about such a scene made their scalp tingle.
Sang Luoluo chimed in, "Yes."
Fortunately, Base No. 32 has prepared ample food supplies. Before the disaster struck, a lot of resources were prepared, originally for the base's development, but now they've all been used to deal with the disaster.
Once downstairs, Sang Ping used a megaphone to shout into the residential buildings, "Everyone line up, bring your necessary items, and board the boat one by one. We'll take you to the shelter. This place will be flooded soon, so hurry up!"
Sang Luoluo immediately transferred the people she had prepared within her Mental Power range to the empty boat beside her.
Many people have never seen anything like this before. How did we suddenly become airborne? This feeling of weightlessness is both unfamiliar and novel. After the initial fear comes the relief of landing safely on the ship, and a sense of gratitude.
Once the ship was full, it immediately sailed away towards the refuge.
Sang Luoluo then went to load the second boat.
Fortunately, these people were all within her Mental Power control, and she could manipulate them entirely with her Mental Power.
Those people landed on the boat and thanked them repeatedly.
Many homes were flooded, and some important items were too heavy to carry out. They could only bring two sets of clothes, as well as the most important food, medicine, and water. Ordinary homes also didn't have many Crystal Core in stock.
