"It's a pity to burn such a large forest!" Xu's father said with regret. He was born a carpenter and always cherished wood.

Xu's mother shook her head and said, "The drought is so serious now. There is no water to put out such a big fire!"

"Hubby, will this fire consume all the oxygen?"

Yang Lina was a little scared. At present, 99% of the vegetation on land has died. Without vegetation, where would the oxygen come from?

"It's okay. As long as there is water in the sea, seaweed will continuously release oxygen. This fire is nothing." Xu Dong comforted.

"Huh, it's okay."

Xu Dong looked at his father: "Dad, can your company get a plant growth lamp?"

"Why do you want that thing?"

Xu's father is not unfamiliar with plant growth lamps. He talked with Manager Yuan. There is a branch company specializing in the production of plant growth lamps under Qixing Xia Chuang Company.

After all, for plant factories, plant growth lamps are essential and one of the important consumables.

"I don't think this fire will end in a few months. By then, the smoke will cover the sky. Our vegetable garden cannot do without the sun." Xu Dong explained.

Yang Lina reacted all of a sudden and patted her head: "Oh, I almost forgot about this."

"That's easy. I'll call Manager Yuan tomorrow and ask him to get me a few boxes." Xu's father nodded.

"Thank you, Dad!" Yang Lina said happily.

"What are you thanking for? You're not the only one eating our vegetables. We should thank you." Xu's father said with a smile.

...

As soon as they got to work the next day, Xu Dong and Section Chief Li were called to a meeting by Director Du.

In the meeting room, Officer Sun sat down next to Xu Dong: "Deputy Section Chief Xu, how is the arrangement for Li Yanyi going?"

"It's settled. She lives in our company's employee dormitory. I asked her to do odd jobs in the cafeteria temporarily and solve their two meals a day." Xu Dong introduced in a low voice.

"Well, thank you very much this time."

"You're welcome, Officer Sun. Is there anything important in this meeting?"

Officer Sun glanced at his colleague and whispered, "Did you see the news last night?"

"The fire in Xianbeilia?" Xu Dong suddenly had an idea.

"Yes, if the thick smoke over there comes, it will definitely cover the sky and the sun here. At that time, the public security situation will definitely not be optimistic. We must make plans in advance."

"Do we have to implement a curfew during the day?" Xu Dong guessed.

Officer Sun shook his head: "It's very difficult. We can't lock everyone at home. What about so many factories? And this is not a matter of one or two days. It may last for a month!"

Xu Dong thought about it.

"So, our hard days are coming, not just us. The bureau is also preparing to temporarily recruit a group of volunteers. It is said that they want to achieve all-round and no dead angles."

Xu Dong's scalp tingled when he heard it. He had just taken over the daily work of the security department, but he didn't expect to encounter such a big pit.

"Is it too late to ask for leave now?"

Officer Sun smiled and said, "Brother Xu, brothers should share weal and woe!"

After sending Officer Sun away, Xu Dong quickly opened the rotation training class group, and the group was indeed blown up, with voices complaining.

He found a few nearby group members and quickly asked about the specific situation.

"Lao Liang, how are you arranged?"

The other party replied quickly, and sent two messages in a row:

"Don't mention it, I just received a notice that we will work 14 hours a day from now on, from 7 am to 9 pm."

"In addition, except for illness, no leave is allowed."

Xu Dong: "What about the work content?"

Lao Liang: "It's mainly to lead the team to patrol the streets, and it's uninterrupted. This time it's really going to kill people."

Xu Dong quickly comforted the other party a few words, then went offline, and then he got close to Chief Li.

"Uncle Li, I received some news here."

"What news?"

Xu Dong briefly introduced the matter, and then focused on the patrol.

Section Chief Li pinched his nose. His son made a fuss for most of the night, and he didn't sleep for a few hours.

"Xiao Xu, do you think we should hurry up and recruit another batch of temporary workers?"

Xu Dong nodded quickly: "Of course we should increase the number of people. We are definitely not enough. I heard that even the suburbs will be patrolled this time, and the staff in the city must be very tight."

"This matter can't be rushed. I will report to Lao Cao in person when I go back."

"Should we inform the labor company in advance and ask them to prepare the people in advance?" Xu Dong asked.

Section Chief Li nodded: "Okay."

"How many people are we going to recruit this time?"

"Prepare 20 people first. If the number exceeds this, we will definitely not be able to apply for it. The budget of our department has been seriously exceeded."

Xu Dong nodded, and then quickly sent a message to Mr. Ji of the labor company, who replied with three thank-you messages in a row.

Ten minutes later, Director Du finally appeared.

"Sorry, everyone. There is a video conference at the General Administration, which delayed us a little."

Section Chief Li said politely on behalf of everyone: "It's okay. We just arrived not long ago."

"Okay, let's start the meeting now."

Director Du didn't say much this time. He just mentioned the cause of the matter in one sentence, and then focused on assigning tasks to the several state-owned enterprises present.

The area that the power company is responsible for this time is two or three times larger than the current one, and it also includes a large alley in the west. The workload has almost doubled.

At the end of the meeting, Director Du issued a death order that no mass incidents must occur in the jurisdiction. This is the bottom line.

After returning from the Qianmen Street Police Station, Chief Li summarized the meeting notes and went directly to Director Cao to report on his work.

Xu Dong called his colleagues in the security department together to let everyone be mentally prepared.

Next, he began to formulate a patrol plan. The security department, including dispatched workers, has less than 50 people in total, and every employee needs to be fully utilized.

After lunch, Chief Li called and Director Cao only gave 15 quotas for dispatched workers, which made people angry and wanted to curse.

In the evening, the entire capital area began to be filled with a choking smell of smoke and dust. The thick smoke met the sandstorm, making the visibility outdoors even lower, almost the same as at night.

In Section Chief Li's office, Xu Dong was reporting on the patrol plan. There was nothing much to say about the plan. There were few people and the task was heavy, so he could only squeeze everyone, including himself.

"It's getting dark." Section Chief Li suddenly said.

Xu Dong looked out the window. To be honest, he was a little panicked: "Uncle Li, this is like the end of the world."

"Why panic? We are the capital, nothing will happen here!" Section Chief Li looked calm.

"Xianbeilia is so big, I estimate it will burn for several months!" Xu Dong sighed.

"This is not something we should worry about. Just do our job well."
