Chapter 316: Torch Relay

"Ayue, how long will it take to get there? We are all hungry and thirsty now."

On the bus, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore and started asking questions.

If this continues for a long time, you won't be able to hold on even if you try to be patient.

"There's no place to park the bus right now, so we can only get off and move our things over." A Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead and ordered the door to be opened.

"Ah? Are you kidding me?"

"It must be exhausting to carry so many things."

Although everyone was complaining, they still stood up and started moving the supplies.

"Everyone get off the bus first. Someone has brought food and water." A Yue's next words undoubtedly made everyone happy, and their hands moved faster.

"Come on, everyone has worked hard, let's eat something to replenish our energy."

Someone had already brought mineral water and food to the side of the bus, but everyone was disappointed when they saw the food.

There were some bags of bread in the box.

"Is this what we're having for dinner?"

"Is there any mistake?"

Everyone was dissatisfied, but what they didn't know was that this was going to be the food that many people here were going to have for the next few days...

"After everyone finishes eating, move their things over and start setting up tents for accommodation. Everyone help each other."

"The other delegates have arrived and are waiting for us to go to the meeting."

"Ok."

A Yue, who was directing everyone's actions, was pulled back by someone. He could only nod and leave the bus.

Embassy District.

Canberra, Yarralumla Coronation Avenue, H State University Hall.

It faces Lake Burley Griffin to the north and overlooks the Australian Parliament Building to the south, covering an area of ​​more than 20,000 square meters.

There are seven internal departments: Political Department, Education Department, Science and Technology Department, Culture Department, Parliamentary News Department, Economic and Commercial Department, and Consular Department.

"As the last stop of the Olympic torch relay in the Western countries, we must ensure that everything goes smoothly."

"Some time ago, our compatriots performed very well... In this Kancun operation... we will definitely be able to do our job and protect the transmission of the S flame."

Inside the Big S Hall, a group of people were holding a meeting. The people present had different identities, including international students, presidents of chambers of commerce, elites from various industries, etc.

Although everyone's identities are different, their purpose for coming here is the same.

"Ha, your Fuqin Chamber of Commerce is here too. I didn't expect that." Zhong Lili, vice president of Wenou Chamber of Commerce, smiled and looked at a middle-aged man next to her.

"Don't have any misunderstandings about us. Although the rumors about us in the outside world are not very nice, we are still willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of our motherland." The representative of the Fuqin Chamber of Commerce responded with a smile.

"Stop talking about the Fuqin Chamber of Commerce. You Wenou people are really speculating on everything. You speculate on soybeans, foreign exchange, and now you speculate on land. The prices are all messed up." A woman in her forties interrupted.

"I can fire whatever I want, what's it to you? No wonder they say you are a nine-headed bird in the sky and on the ground..." Zhong Lili pointed at the woman and started to fight back.

"Sorry for being late." At this time, the door was opened and A Yue walked in, apologizing.

However, the room was full of people and no one paid any attention to the stranger. They were still discussing among themselves, which made him very embarrassed.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. We are here to discuss serious matters today, because media from all over the world will be present, and we can't make any mistakes. My daughter is the torchbearer!" At this time, a middle-aged man coughed twice.

"Lao Zhuang, stop showing off. You probably just want to say the last sentence. Your daughter is the torchbearer. You should add the 'one of'. You should know that the torchbearing is a relay." Zhong Lili started to attack, and she wanted to criticize everyone.

"Click." At this time, the door of the conference room was opened, two men and two women walked in, and everyone stopped discussing.

"Hello, everyone. Let me introduce you. This is Director Tan X. She is here to assist us in our work. I think everyone here is familiar with her." A man in a neat suit and wearing the national emblem smiled and glanced at everyone in the room.

Next to him stood a middle-aged woman, her eyes also focused on everyone, with the same confidence on her face as the man.

Both of them seemed to be the organizers of this event, and their presence made everyone present feel a sense of solemnity and respect.

"Hey, Director Tan, I didn't expect you've been promoted after not seeing you for half a year." Zhong Lili stepped forward and shook hands with him enthusiastically. "Hello, Director Tan, I'm from the Hubei Chamber of Commerce..."

Everyone present stood up and greeted the woman.

"Hello, long time no see... I will also be one of the torchbearers in the near future, and I came here to learn first." Director Tan X responded to everyone kindly.

"Okay, let's start discussing the arrangements for the next few days. Some of the international students here may not know me. My name is Zhang He, which is pronounced the same as the famous general from the Three Kingdoms..."

After everyone finished exchanging greetings, the head of the embassy began to talk about business.

Inside the hotel.

"Why don't we go out to eat? Why cook noodles here with the induction cooker?" A group of people gathered together, cooking noodles. Dongdong naturally didn't want to stay in the hotel and eat this.

"The restaurants outside are closed, and so are the supermarkets." Chen Xi said lightly.

"Ah? Such a big place is closed? That's impossible. There must be McDonald's and KFC."

"Hey, why don't you go out for a walk? If you can buy a French fry, I'll consider you the winner. I've already learned about the situation."

Chen Xi, who had experienced his previous life, naturally understood the situation here. At present, most restaurants in the city were closed, and if they were open, they would only provide targeted services.

It was Alin who used his connections to get this hotel, and now it's great to be able to eat noodles in the hotel.

Moreover, according to the conclusion he drew from his observation just now, there seemed to be more people coming here in this life than in the previous life.

In the previous life, this place was very chaotic. Those hotels and restaurants were not open to the public at all, and only locals could eat here.

Recalling his previous life, he and a group of compatriots from Country H spent several long and hard days here, setting up tents and eating simple bread.

Just now on the street, he had seen many people setting up tents. Kan Village was too shabby. Even if all the hotels were operating normally, it would probably be difficult to accommodate so many people.

Kan Village, on an open space.

"Squeak, squeak."

"Oh! I'm going crazy."

Zhang Ruoxi looked at the collapsed tent in front of her and let out a roar.

"Let me do it, you go help them move the goods." Shen Xinyi looked at the tent stands scattered on the ground and couldn't help but shook her head slightly.

"Hey, classmate, let me help you." A boy came over and took the initiative to help Shen Xinyi set up the tent.

"Xinyi, you are still popular. No one came to help me for such a long time. Besides, I am not ugly..." Zhang Ruoxi glanced at the boy, then ran to her friend's ear and whispered.

"No, I'll do it myself." As a student of architecture, setting up a tent was a piece of cake for Shen Xinyi. She directly rejected the boy's kindness.

"Let's leave this kind of physical work to us boys! You two can go and rest over there for a while." The boys were not willing to let go of such a good opportunity, so they naturally wanted to show themselves well.

"That's right, Xinyi, let's go and rest for a while. Thank you." Zhang Ruoxi pulled Shen Xinyi aside with a smile. Shen Xinyi did not resist because she was also extremely tired.

"You're welcome, we're all compatriots from Country H!" The boy grinned and began to help them set up the tent.

Soon, tents of various sizes appeared on the open space, like small safe havens, adding a bit of vitality and warmth to the land.

"That hook-nosed guy said before that there were other guests staying in the hotel, but why didn't I see any of them? Could he be lying to us?" Xiao Ming said while eating the noodles in his bowl. He just wandered around the hotel for a while and didn't see a single person.

"That's right, it's so secretive. They even don't let us open the curtains. I don't think there are any other guests in the hotel." Dongdong started complaining again. He originally wanted to open the curtains to see outside, but he found that the curtains were fixed with clips. It was his first time staying in such a hotel. It was simply hilarious.

"Why are you talking so much? Let's eat some noodles! Lock the car."

"No way, we are driving a truck. Who would steal things from a truck? They only steal cars."

"This is just in case. Not all the people here are our own." Chen Xi said with a hint of meaning.

"What do you mean?"

"We came here to protect the sacred fire, for fear that someone would cause trouble."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, everyone understood.
