Zhu Wende answered naturally: "It's pork."

"Recently, many types of fresh meat have been launched in official stores, but unfortunately the prices are too expensive, so I bought the cheapest pork to satisfy my craving."

Knowing that the official store sells fresh meat, Xu Qianyao didn't think much and gave the remaining piece of meat in the bowl to the team members next to him.

"Just make up for it, you have worked hard today."

"It would be great if the waiter was here, he likes to eat meat the most..."

Thinking of the dead team member, Xu Qianyao hurriedly lowered his head to eat noodles, tears falling into the bowl.

Three other team members also fell into grief.

The atmosphere became heavy, and Zhu Wende spoke to comfort him.

"The dead are gone, but so are the living. We have to look forward."

"Brother Zhu is right. There are countless people outside waiting for our rescue. Our top priority is to conserve energy and wait for the sandstorm to pass."

Xu Qianyao and the team members cheered up again.

After dinner, Zhu Wende moved some quilts: "My house only has one bedroom. My sick old mother lives there. It's not convenient for outsiders to come in. You can only make a bed on the floor in the living room tonight."

"It's okay, please excuse me." Xu Qianyao took the quilt and spread it on the ground with the team members.

Jiang Fei didn't rest. He sat on the sofa and called Lu Yu on the walkie-talkie every hour.

Still no one responded.

No one from the patrol team responded.

Jiang Fei didn't know what to do except wait, so he stayed up until dawn.

The wind noise outside was significantly reduced.

Jiang Fei went to the observation port of the north window of the living room to look outside.

The sand and dust situation is much better than yesterday, with visibility about 100 meters.

The sky took on an eerie reddish-orange color.

The air was turbid, filled with yellow sand and dust, as well as garbage bags, pebbles, branches, etc. blown up by the wind.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of sand, revealing half an arm, a calf, and a ball that looked like a human head. It was unknown how many corpses were buried.

Xu Qianyao borrowed a walkie-talkie from Jiang Fei and contacted the rescue team.

"I am Xu Qianyao, captain of the rescue team. I would like to know the current situation outside and whether it is possible to travel."

After calling several times, a woman's hoarse voice sounded on the intercom.

"I am Yin Jing, the captain. There are too many injured people. The team members went to rescue, and I am the only one left in the team."

"Now the extremely severe sandstorm has reduced to blowing sand, and the wind force is level 6. You can travel. Where are you? I will pick you up."

Xu Qianyao: "You don't need to come over, we will join the rescue directly."

After returning the walkie-talkie to Jiang Fei, Xu Qianyao asked Zhu Wende: "Can you lend me the scissors at home?"

"I want to cut clothes and make some masks."

"Why are you cutting clothes? I have sandproof supplies."

Zhu Wende took out 5 transparent plastic face shields and 5 disposable masks from the locker in the living room:

"I'm an auto repairman, and I often do polishing and painting. I have a lot of dust-proof and anti-virus supplies. You can use them without even thinking about returning them to me."

"Thank you, Brother Zhu. You have helped us a lot." Xu Qianyao took the things and distributed them to Jiang Fei and the team members.

The mask is not full-coverage, but it does protect your eyes.

Adding a mask can prevent sand and dust.

After saying goodbye to Zhu Wende, Jiang Fei and others left his house.

Since there were no unit doors, the windows in the corridor were also shattered, causing a lot of sand to accumulate in the corridor.

The temperature of 49C makes the temperature of sand and dust rise.

Jiang Fei was wearing trousers and sneakers, which didn't feel like much.

The team members wore large shorts and sandals, which felt like they were being burned when they stepped into the sand and dust.

"So hot."

One team member was so burned that he ran to stand on a high step. The skin on his feet and ankles was visibly red.

"You guys wait for me here, I'll go find the nearest team member to borrow some pairs of shoes."

After saying that, Jiang Fei quickly went downstairs.

The dust outside is deeper than that in the corridor, reaching up to an adult's calves.

Jiang Fei walked one step at a time, found a deserted corner, and took out an off-road vehicle.

This kind of sandy and soily environment can only be driven off-road.

Then, he took out 4 pairs of high boots, 5 thin scarves, and 5 medical protective masks.

Medical ones are easier to use than ordinary ones, and can completely isolate floating dust and inhalable particulate matter in the air.

Jiang Fei first changed his mask, wrapped a scarf around his ears and neck, and then returned to the corridor.

"You guys change, I'm going to go find my friends and make sure they are safe."

Xu Qianyao nodded and changed shoes with the team members.

Jiang Fei left the unit building and drove off in an off-road vehicle.

Rescue team members are already at work.

Even if the safety shelter has a lot of dangerous items that are easily blown away by the wind, it can't take care of them all.

In particular, some residents did not follow the official arrangements and receive wooden boards to seal their windows.

Almost every residential building had broken windows.

The house had floor-to-ceiling windows, but the entire glass was gone, and the sofa was half exposed in the window and was crumbling.

There were desperate cries and coughs everywhere.

"Child! My child is missing! Please help me find it! Cough cough cough!"

"Husband...how can I live without you?! I should have listened to your advice to close the window in the first place! I was wrong!"

"Ahem, you stupid woman killed my son! I'm going to kill you!"

And on the road.

Some survivors had their legs pinned down by the overturned car and screamed for help in pain.

Some had their heads flattened by colored steel tiles blown by the strong wind, leaving only their bodies exposed.

Jiang Fei even saw a corpse hanging outside the third floor of a residential building.

A steel bar penetrated the chest of the corpse and entered the room through the window.

The walkie-talkie didn't receive a reply from Lu Yu for a long time, so Jiang Fei went to the nearest West Street.

Most shops have their windows sealed, and the situation is better than in residential areas. However, the doors are damaged and sand has entered.

Apart from the loss of goods, there were not many casualties.

The doors and windows of Ping An's small supermarket are tightly closed, and suitable iron plates are installed outside the door to avoid the attack of sandstorms.

But the branch door is gone.

Jiang Fei got off the car and walked in.

The shelves, water tanks, large freezers, and cashiers on the first floor were all in disarray.

The goods were scattered messily on the ground, covered by sand.

Jiang Zhengkang and the others put on goggles and masks and were crying to clean up the sand on the ground.

Jiang Xiaoshi was the first to notice Jiang Fei at the door: "Dad Jiang, brother Han Yang, big sister is here!"

Han Yang knelt down in front of Jiang Fei, his eyes red: "Boss, please kill me!"

"It was my mistake. I ran a step too slowly and didn't move an iron plate to seal the door. The branch was destroyed by a sandstorm."

Jiang Zhengkang told the truth: "Feifei, I was also wrong in this matter."

"We found out yesterday that the wind was blowing. We immediately went to seal the door of Ping'an Mini Supermarket, and then ran back to seal the branch."

"Because the iron plate is too heavy for one person to move, it can only be moved by two people."

"By the time Han Yang and I ran back to the branch, it was already too late. The wind was so strong that we couldn't close the door, so we hid on the second floor and sealed the door there."

"You want us to compensate you, or drive us away, you can..." Jiang Zhengkang nervously held Jiang Xiaoshi's hand.

Jiang Fei asked Han Yang to get up: "You have tried your best to defend the store. None of us expected that the sandstorm would advance."

"People from the rescue team said that yesterday's sandstorm was extremely severe, and you will be lucky to survive."

"Seal the door. There is no need to clean up the things here. We will talk about it later. You go to live in 2, Building 203, Mingshang Apartment Community."

Jiang Fei gave the key to 203 to Jiang Zhengkang: "Has Lu Yu been here?"

"No, we haven't seen him."

Hearing this, Jiang Fei's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he drove to the patrol brigade.

Lu Yu was not in the dormitory.

Jiang Fei found his roommate and asked.

Jiang Fei became increasingly irritable when he learned that Lu Yu had gone out yesterday morning and had not returned yet.

Where are my teammates...

Just when Jiang Fei was about to search for Lu Yu's patrol location, the walkie-talkie in his hand rang.

"I am a member of the patrol team! Who is closest to Fengming Road?! Come to the rescue!"

"There's a comrade here who's trapped under the car! We need help lifting the car!"

The team member standing next to Jiang Fei said hurriedly: "This is the voice of the third brother in our dormitory! He should be with Lu Yu!"
