#599 - Chapter 599 Come and ask for food
The Coal Mine Shelter after dawn remained immersed in a low and sorrowful atmosphere.
The sudden fire last night destroyed most of the home that everyone had painstakingly built.
More than a dozen people died.
The injured numbered more than thirty!
Among them, nearly ten were seriously injured!
Last night's disaster alone caused a significant loss of personnel in the Coal Mine Shelter.
In the morning, Li Hongwen had his daughter lead some of the shelter's personnel to cook some thin porridge with the little remaining food and distribute it, slightly calming the frightened crowd.
Fortunately, the fire was extinguished last night, otherwise they wouldn't even have a place to live now.
At this time, almost all the zombies lingering outside the wall at night had disappeared, and the few remaining ones were stabbed to death by the personnel on duty on the wall.
It could be regarded as a tiny bit of comfort in the misfortune.
At least they don't have to face the threat of zombies for the time being.
"How's the situation outside? Can you still see the people who attacked us last night?"
After distributing the porridge, Li Cai ran to the wall and once again looked into the distance at the buildings over there. Last night, she saw a faint light coming from that direction, and if there were no accidents, the attackers were hiding there!
She didn't know where these people got so many drones. After she shot them down last night, she didn't know if they would appear again today.
She didn't dare to gamble.
So she ran to the wall to assist in the defense whenever she had time.
Obviously, there was no way to organize the excavation of coal and mineral resources today, as well as the search for supplies outside.
Not to mention the large number of casualties in the shelter, the fact that there were unknown enemies outside made them afraid to go out casually.
After Li Hongwen discussed with some of the higher-ranking personnel in the shelter, they decided to wait for the Green Source Transportation Team to come tomorrow and ask for help.
As long as the Green Source Transportation Team arrives, they believe all difficulties will pass!
This is trust in the Green Source Base!
"Miss Li, we have been paying attention to that side, and we haven't seen any figures for the time being."
The personnel on duty on the wall reported truthfully.
Fortunately, the drought has passed, and the temperature during the day after the sun comes out in the morning is not considered high, only about twenty-eight or nine degrees.
Feeling a slight relief, Li Cai stayed on the wall with the personnel on duty to rest.
Last night, except for a few hours of rest in the first half of the night, she had been running around at high intensity to put out fires, rescue people, and defend after the bomb attack.
She really hadn't had a serious rest. Now that things had calmed down a bit, she only felt a wave of exhaustion coming over her.
There was both physical fatigue.
And confusion about the future.
There were also worries about her parents' injuries.
She didn't know if her mother's injuries could be slowly recovered with the help of Green Source later, and she didn't know how long it would take for her shelter to return to its original state.
The results of everyone's efforts for several months were destroyed, except for the remaining wall, most of the rest was ruined.
Filled with worry, she slowly fell into a state between sleep and wakefulness.
Inside the shelter.
Li Hongwen continued to brace himself and direct the personnel to clean up the items that had been burned last night, to avoid the possibility of a resurgence of the fire.
At the same time, he continued to rescue the wounded and see if he could dig out more useful supplies.
With only a few days of food left, everyone couldn't last long at all.
It would be a gain to salvage as much as possible.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
He coughed violently again, feeling the burning pain in his chest and lungs, and walked around the shelter, directing everyone.
The violent shaking caused by the bomb exploding not far from him last night obviously injured his internal organs.
He can't fall down yet!
At least until the shelter is stabilized, he has to hold on!
His wife and some of the wounded were also seriously injured. If he fell down now, his daughter alone would probably have difficulty supporting them!
Wait a little longer!
The Green Source Transportation Team will be here tomorrow!
"Miss Li! Miss Li!! Come and take a look! There are so many people outside!!"
In a state between sleep and wakefulness.
Li Cai seemed to hear someone calling her. Soon she woke up in shock and saw that several anxious guards were indeed calling her!
What happened!?
She looked towards the outside of the wall that these companions were pointing to, and saw a scene that shocked her!
So many people!
Not zombies!
But human survivors!
Many human survivors had come outside the Coal Mine Shelter!
Looking around, there were probably one or two hundred people!
"What's going on!!? Why are there so many survivors suddenly outside??"
Li Cai didn't know the situation. How could something happen outside after she had only rested for a while??
"We don't know either!? These people suddenly appeared! A large group of them ran directly to the outside of our shelter!"
Several guards also couldn't figure it out.
Just then.
The survivors outside told them the reason for their coming.
"Help! Kind people of the Coal Mine Shelter, please save us! We haven't eaten for days!"
"Me too! I'm starving to death, please save me!"
Voices of help came from below one after another.
These survivors had come for help!
Li Cai and the guards were dumbfounded.
Why would so many survivors suddenly come to ask for help??
Just as they were confused and didn't know what to do.
Seemingly hearing the noise from outside, many people inside the shelter, including Li Hongwen, went up to the wall to check.
Li Hongwen, the leader of the shelter, was breathing heavily even just going up the wall at this time.
He finally walked to the edge of the wall and looked at the many survivors who had suddenly appeared outside in shock!
"Why are so many people suddenly coming to ask for help? They should know that our Coal Mine Shelter can't possibly take in so many people!?"
Not to mention that the shelter had just suffered a disaster, even in its heyday, it would be impossible to help so many outsiders!
Why did these people come here??
Just as Li Hongwen was looking down, louder cries for help came from below!
"Li Hongwen, President Li of the Coal Mine Shelter, is here! We are saved! Everyone, please ask him to help us!"
"Great philanthropist President Li! Please save me and my child! We haven't eaten anything for two days! We will die if we don't eat anything! You can't just stand by and watch us die!"
"President Li! I heard that you have recently absorbed many other survivors! You can't refuse to take us in! There are many zombies outside, we will be killed if this continues!"
The survivors who were originally calling for help from the Coal Mine Shelter became even more excited after seeing Li Hongwen appear!
As if they would suffer a loss if they called out slowly!
All the survivors who came were reaching out to Li Hongwen for food and asking him to open the shelter to receive them!!
Li Hongwen, who was already weak and in pain, swayed and almost collapsed to the ground!
These survivors!
They actually dare!
