Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 193 Planting Houses in Disaster Areas
It's still raining.

Warrior crabs were roaming the ruins of the city. Led by the weapon master, they carefully searched everywhere, looking for trapped victims with signs of life. The dangerous walls continued to collapse, and only they could withstand the impact.

In a simple tent in the open space, Feng Ying treated the wounds of the wounded.

"Doctor, will my hand grow back?"

The injured was an eight-year-old boy named Beta.

He looked at his right hand. His entire forearm was gone, leaving only a thick bandage.

Fortunately, there are sufficient quantities of anesthetics, anti-infective drugs and hemostatic tools, otherwise the mortality rate of this resection surgery would be very high.

Feng Ying never lies to patients: "No."

"Oh."

The boy was a little disappointed.

Feng Ying said: "But when you grow up, you can get a prosthetic limb. Today's prosthetic limbs are very precise and are no different from real hands in daily use."

“That’s expensive, right?”

The boy moved his broken arm a little: "I know a guy who has a prosthetic arm, but his family is very rich. We raise shells and can't afford one."

"Just because it's not possible now doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future."

Feng Ying said softly, "When you grow up, you can come work at our wasteland development company and you will definitely be able to afford it."

"Really? You guys want it without hands?"

"want."

Feng Ying told him: "There is an inventor named Wang Tai at the company's Guangxu Dam. He is lazy but very smart. He invented a tool called the Desperate Machine, which can basically complete all the work just by turning the joystick. It can be operated with one hand without any problem."

"Because one machine can do the work of several people, the chairman awarded him the first prize of the "Wasteland Invention Award", and the prize money is 100 light seeds, or 10000 million mushrooms. This is known to everyone in the company."

The boy's eyes widened when he heard this: "So many!"

"And the Emerald Soup you drank was also invented by company employees Qin Mo and Qin Shu. It was sold to many cities through Coral Mouth, and each serving of Emerald Soup received a dividend. They are all ordinary people, and Qin Mo is also a patient."

Hope suddenly rekindled in Beta's eyes: "I want to work in the company!"

"Recover well, and you can come and try it when you are an adult."

Feng Ying smiled.

The boy said stupidly: "Doctor, you look so beautiful when you smile."

"Thank you."

Feng Ying took off her gloves and stood up, ready to go outside to check the situation. Some of the injured could not be carried and had to be rescued on the spot.

There are several such temporary tents nearby, filled with patients who have received emergency treatment.

However, Feng Ying was alone and could do very little. She felt very powerless and helpless during the rescue.

An emotionless voice came from the transceiver clipped to my ear.

"All rescue teams, please coordinate with the reinforcement team."

"This reinforcement team is led by Sun Chonglai, and there are 14 black hand mushrooms in total. They will start to build a temporary shelter. Please cooperate with them."

Captain Red Falcon was brief and to the point.

Feng Ying was a little surprised that he was from the Mushroom Forest.

But she quickly got involved in the first aid work because people were calling for doctors and shouting for help everywhere.

……

According to the scans of meteorological satellites, this Category 17 typhoon reached a speed of 208 kilometers per hour and formed very suddenly in the far sea. It was not discovered at all in Beike City under the heavy fog.

The radius of the 12-level wind roll inside the typhoon was 60 kilometers. The edge of the wind roll brushed the east of Beike City, causing a large number of houses to collapse and be damaged. Some residents were swept away and disappeared on the spot.

The typhoon lasted for 16 hours after landing before gradually subsiding.

The latest news Feng Ying received is that under the storm, 141 people have been confirmed dead in Beike, 1500 people have been injured, 3700 people have been left homeless, and one-fifth of the buildings in the entire city have been destroyed or cannot be used due to safety issues.

Numbers cannot describe the cruelty on the ground.

Feng Ying raced against time to rescue the wounded. However, many patients died during rescue and rehabilitation due to a number of reasons, including worsening injuries, insufficient medicines, infections caused by the humid and rainy environment, and lack of relevant equipment. Most of them were elderly people and children.

She thought about it more than once.

It would be great if Maria Hospital was here, it could provide the best treatment and wellness environment.

But there are also patients in Emerald City, and it is impossible to transfer them over.

The victims were very grateful for the company's assistance. They had jade soup to fill their stomachs, quilts to keep warm, and tents to shelter from the rain, which were the most scarce supplies at the moment.

Bei Dugong also said to the rescue team: "Thank you very much for your support. If you were not here, the estimated death toll from this disaster would be dozens more."

"I have seen all your hard work and efforts. After the disaster relief is over, I will definitely ask Mr. Zhou for credit for you and pay you a generous reward."

Feng Ying was not very fond of this lord of the sea.

The company does not do disaster relief for the money.

As for profitability, it would be much more efficient and safer to let the express delivery center take more orders, or to start construction of the Guangxu Dam on a full scale than to do it here.

Feng Ying also asked the captain Hong Shun.

“Is the company’s rescue of Shell City out of morality or sympathy?”

The drone said, "Both. Zhou said that only when you treat others as your own will others treat you as their own. It is normal for us to rescue our own people when they are in disaster."

The image of Chairman Zhou Yi appeared in Feng Ying's mind.

He always jumps back and forth between careful consideration and letting himself go. Sometimes he appears to be a young man full of vigor and vitality, and sometimes he shows an incomprehensible deep maturity.

It is impossible to tell when he is acting arbitrarily and when he is weighing the pros and cons.

There is a common saying among Beiyang knights.

——What you do is what you become.

This sentence means that a person is what he has done.

Zhou Yi is doing his best to help the disaster victims here. That's enough.

It doesn't matter what he's thinking.

……

Six days later, the Bone Man Sun Chonglai found Feng Ying and asked her to try the Mushroom Forest’s latest invention.

"This is the mushroom house. Although it has been identified by Dr. Da Vinci as non-toxic, it still needs you, Dr. Feng, to judge whether there is any problem with it on this land." Feng Ying was a little surprised.

Standing before my eyes was a giant mushroom that was three meters tall and two meters in diameter, and it was actually going to be used as a house.

She opened her medical kit and performed a series of tests.

“No toxin reaction was found.”

“The humidity is normal.”

"The air is normal."

Feng Ying even went in and took a nap.

As a result, I slept for more than an hour in a daze.

Because the sound insulation inside is so good, the noise and wind outside can't be heard at all.

She said: "The mushroom house itself is non-toxic and is more comfortable to use as a residence than it looks."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Sun Chonglai rubbed his hands with a look of delight: "The chairman is really smart and accurate in this regard."

It turned out that the Mushroom House was put into operation at the request of the chairman.

The homeless victims were assigned mushroom houses one by one. They were afraid at first because the bright red caps looked dangerous and the giant mushrooms were known to be poisonous.

However, after the demonstration of Doctor Feng Ying, they finally chose to believe it.

After just two days, all the local displaced people moved into the mushroom houses. This soft yet tough house quickly won everyone's favor.

Putting diamond stones in it is enough to provide lighting. The space inside the mushroom is very clean and dry, and no insects dare to approach. The umbrella-shaped cap is also a natural high-quality roof.

Some even tried cooking slices of the giant mushroom, but they quickly gave up because the fast-growing mushroom itself was like grass, full of hard fibers that were difficult to chew.

Beta said to Feng Ying excitedly: "Doctor, the mushroom house is amazing. The Wasteland Development Company is amazing! They can actually grow a house!"

"Doctor, you must have a lot more of these, right?"

"I heard from everyone that the chairman is a celestial being or a weapons hunter. Some even said that he is an underwater god disguised as a human... What kind of person is the chairman?"

Feng Ying thought, how would I know.

but.

It is crucial for the company to promote the chairman’s image well.

So she thought about it carefully: "He is that kind of... very special person."

"Special? In what way?"

Feng Ying frowned: "Very strong."

"Of course, all these aliens are his employees, they must be extremely powerful." Beta said as if it was a matter of course.

"..."

Feng Ying thought about it and could only say, "Also, he's good-looking. He's the kind of person you'll never forget once you meet him."

She knew too little about Zhou Yi.

"Then he had a lot of light seeds, and it seemed like he never lost the battle."

"It's over."

The young Beta looked sad: "Doctor, you must like him, strong, rich, and good-looking. I won't have a chance in the future. Even when I grow up, there will be no chance."

Feng Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

But this was just a small episode.

The rapid construction of mushroom houses has injected vitality into the city that was originally in the midst of a devastating disaster, allowing people to finally have a shelter from the wind and rain. The bright red umbrella-shaped roofs have also added a touch of color to Shell City.

People further developed this durable and simple house.

When the weather is fine, the residents will climb up the mushroom cap to enjoy the breeze and the view. They will tie ropes around the mushroom stems or hang wooden signs with pictures and words on them to indicate where they live.

Even many residents who own houses want to apply for mushroom houses on the grounds that they are worried about dangerous buildings.

Human beings are very vulnerable in this world full of powerful forces.

Everyone must learn to forget when they are born. Only in this way can they survive.

The reconstruction brought by the Mushroom House has diluted the pain of losing relatives and friends, helping everyone to adjust direction more quickly and move forward.

What Feng Ying never expected was that Lord Beidu took out a large amount of light seeds and exchanged them for dried mushrooms and copper, which he distributed to every disaster-stricken person, and buried the dead in a specially built cemetery.

In addition, the sea lord also invited a group of doctors directly from Guanneng City to provide free treatment to all disabled residents and replace their limbs with prosthetic limbs.

Beta also received a retractable right prosthesis, which can be adjusted in length so that he can grow with it.

"Doctor, you knew that we would get prosthetic limbs! If you had told me earlier, I would have been sad for a long time!" Beta waved his iron arm happily.

Feng Ying felt strange.

Although these prosthetic limbs are all E-1 grade, they are cheap devices manufactured in human cities, and are only installed and debugged by electromechanical doctors in functional cities.

But even so, the price of hundreds of prosthetic limbs is staggering.

I don't know where Bedou Gong got so much money.

Did he borrow it from the chairman?

It was not until she returned to Maria Hospital that Dr. Da Vinci told her, "According to the front line, the typhoon triggered a small amber vent 12 kilometers south of Shell City, and Bedougong is already mining it. In the coming period, Shell City's economy will grow rapidly."

Feng Ying finally understood.

No wonder we didn’t see many Light Na soldiers during the disaster; they all went to the underwater mining area.

The territorial sea owner only makes decisions that are in the best interests of his own country.

These civilian casualties are the price.

Before Feng Ying left, the one-armed child named Beta gave her a small wild flower.

"I have no money now, so I can only use this to thank you, doctor."

"I will come to work in the company when I reach adulthood! I will aim to become the chairman and become very powerful. Just wait and see."

Feng Ying only hopes that he can grow up healthily and not become a price again.
