Chapter 181 Delivering Supplies to Huo Yanchuan in the Disaster Area

Seeing Wenrou arrive so late at night, Wu Li was surprised, but seeing her serious expression, he didn't dare to delay and immediately went to tell everyone to get up.

Sister-in-law Wang was also woken up by the noise. She put on her clothes and came out to see that Wenrou had come to the transport team so late, and realized that something might have happened.

After everyone had gathered, Wenrou gave them a brief overview of the situation in the disaster area.

"I need a few people to come with me. Anyone who wants to go can sign up with Wu Li."

This trip to the disaster area to deliver supplies was voluntary, as the situation in Chongqing is still very dangerous, and there is a risk of being swept away by the flood if one is not careful.

Gentleness did not force them; whether or not to look at them was up to them.

However, to her surprise, everyone signed up when they heard that they were going to the disaster area for rescue, even the former head of the cooking squad.

"Although we are all veterans, we will not hesitate to serve the country if it needs us."

"Yes, we are all willing to go with you to help with disaster relief."

"When do we leave? I'll go and get ready now."

Seeing how enthusiastic they were about going to the disaster area for rescue, Wenrou was immediately moved.

However, given their current driving skills, Wenrou still cannot take this risk.

So she selected three people from among them to go with her.

Upon hearing this, Wu Li, who was standing to the side, also spoke up, "I'll go with you too."

She looked at him gently, "Your leg isn't healed yet."

"This injury is nothing to worry about. Besides, who here drives better than me, except you? With me here, I can be of help in a pinch."

Wu Li is still a soldier, and although he was injured in the leg, it did not affect his determination to go to the disaster area for rescue.

She looked at him gently, and in the end, she could only agree.

Wu Li is right. Apart from him, everyone else in the transport team has only been here for training for a short time. If anything happens on the road, Wu Li can help.

"Then...then I'll go and make you some more food, you can take it with you on the way." When Sister Wang heard that Wenrou was going to lead a team to the disaster area to participate in the rescue, she also wanted to do her part.

Other food items were hard to carry, so she thought of making more pancakes so they could take them and eat them if they got hungry on the road.

"Thank you so much, sister-in-law," Wenrou said with a grateful expression.

"No need to thank me, we're all family, we should help each other out." After saying that, Sister Wang turned around and went into the kitchen.

Seeing this, the head cook also went to the kitchen to help.

There are still several hours until tomorrow morning, and everyone else has gone back to prepare their things.

Those who weren't selected weren't idle either; some were checking things, others were helping out. At this moment, everyone was a cohesive unit.

Just then, Wen Jiguang's voice rang out from behind.

"Little sister, are you really going to the disaster area to participate in the rescue?" His face showed a worried expression.

"How about I go instead? You can just wait for our news at home."

He didn't know that Wenrou could drive a truck, and he thought that if a woman like her went to such a dangerous place, what would happen if she encountered an accident?

Although he hadn't been in the transport team for long, he was, after all, a man, which was much better than her going there.

"Brother, you haven't been with the transport team for long. You should take good care of Mom, your sister-in-law, and the kids at home. I'll be fine with you, so don't worry."

Wenrou knew that Wen Jiguang was worried about her, but this time she had to go in person no matter what.

Before Wen Jiguang could say anything more, he saw Wenrou had already gone inside and driven the truck out.

Seeing how skilled and experienced she was at driving, Wen Jiguang stood there dumbfounded, looking completely incredulous.

When did you learn to drive a truck, little sister?

He originally thought Wenrou had only set up this transport team, but he didn't expect that she could not only drive a truck, but also drive so skillfully.

Wenrou drove both cars to the door, opened the doors, and jumped out.

She then checked the tools she needed for repairing the car, and only felt relieved after confirming that she had brought them all.

"Little sister, when did you learn to drive a truck?" Wen Jiguang asked, his eyes wide with shock.

She looked at him gently and could only make up an excuse, "I learned it when I had nothing to do before I joined the army."

The Wen family doesn't know she can drive yet, and this can't be kept secret forever; they'll find out sooner or later.

Wen Jiguang didn't question Wenrou's words at all, but he felt even more ashamed of himself for being so outstanding as her older brother.

However, times have changed, and things are completely different now.

He can no longer stand still; he needs to learn more new things to keep up with the times.

Seeing how skillfully Wenrou drove, Wen Jiguang didn't try to persuade her any further.

Thinking about what he just said, it would be better to be gentler than to go. He's not skilled enough yet, and if he goes, he'll only be a hindrance.

"Little sister, you must be careful this time and come back safely." Even so, Wen Jiguang was still worried about his sister.

Wenrou nodded gently. "Don't worry, big brother, I'll take good care of myself and come back safely."

Of course, she also wants to bring Huo Yanchuan back.

Now that she's made up her mind about him, she'll never let anything happen to him.

Everyone was now fully prepared and ready to go, just waiting for the relief supplies to arrive in the morning.

Sister Wang and Liu, the head of the cookhouse, worked all night, making not only flatbreads but also guokui (a type of flatbread), which are essential dry rations to fill their stomachs in times of crisis. They loaded them all onto the vehicle.

"Sisters, you must come back safely soon." Sister Wang, with Xiao Ya by her side, repeatedly urged her with concern.

Wenrou looked at the others in the transport team. Although they didn't say anything, their faces were full of worry.

"Don't worry, we will definitely complete the mission and return safely."

Early in the morning, Commander Tan had already prepared the supplies and had them delivered.

Gentlely, she instructed everyone to load the supplies onto the trucks, and each truck was filled to the brim.

Although they only had two truckloads of supplies, these were a godsend for the soldiers who were fighting the disaster on the front lines.

Once the car was fully loaded, Wenrou and her people were finally ready to set off.

"Comrade Wu." Just then, Wu Li was about to get into the car when Sister-in-law Wang called out to him.

Wu Li turned around and saw Wang's wife hand him a waterproof knee pad.

"Take this with you; it will be useful for your injury."

She made this a couple of days ago, intending to give it to him yesterday, but after what happened with Xiaoya, she forgot about it.

He's going to the disaster area this time, so this will come in handy.

Wu Li's leg was already injured, and if it gets rained on and soaked in water, it will be even more difficult for him to recover in the future.

Fortunately, Sister-in-law Wang made this knee brace, which can better protect his injured area.

I never expected Wenrou to be so gentle. I never expected Sister Wang to be so thoughtful.

"Thank you." Wu Li held the knee pads, a warm feeling washing over him.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wenrou officially started driving and setting off with everyone.

Yuzhou is quite far from Ning City. Even if they don't stop along the way, it will still take them two days to get there.

They ate and rested in the car on the road to save time.

After all, the situation in Huo Yanchuan is very urgent, and the situation in the most severely affected area of ​​Yuzhou is still unknown. If vehicles cannot get in, supplies will have to be delivered by manpower.

So Wenrou didn't dare to delay on the way, and two days later she finally arrived in Yuzhou with the supplies.

Upon receiving the news, the military personnel quickly made contact with Wenrou.

They are on the outskirts and have no way to contact the people inside. If Wenrou hadn't brought the supplies, they wouldn't even know that the supplies belonging to the soldiers inside had been looted.

"Can the supplies be transported in now?" Wenrou asked with a serious expression.

"No, sister-in-law, the roads are all blocked. We can only rely on manpower to transport the supplies in." Gao Weidong was in charge of the outer perimeter. Huo Yanchuan had brought him to the house before, and Wenrou had met him.

Gao Weidong was shocked when he saw Wenrou. He hadn't expected her to personally drive the truck to deliver supplies.

They had heard of Wenrou's deeds before, but had never witnessed them. This time, they finally understood what a heroine was.

"Then we'll use manpower. No matter what, we have to get all these supplies in."

On the outer perimeter, Wenrou and Gao Weidong were trying to figure out how to transport the supplies inside.

At this moment, all the soldiers on Huo Yanchuan's side had reached their physical limit.

"Commander, the brothers are about to give up. Without food to replenish our strength, we can't hold on for much longer."

At this point, Huo Yanchuan's men also began to panic.

They have already survived for three days without food and water. If no relief supplies arrive, they will be swept away by the flood once they become exhausted, which would be the worst-case scenario.

Who would have thought that their supplies would be looted so soon after they arrived?

They are soldiers, and they can't argue with the common people.

They also knew that, under these circumstances, the panic in everyone's hearts had reached its peak.

"Keep trying to contact the people outside and get them to send another batch of supplies," Huo Yanchuan ordered through gritted teeth.

Not to mention others, even he himself was almost unable to hold on.

Without food, they had no way to replenish their strength, and after being in the freezing rain for a long time, their body temperature was slowly dropping.

"The communications team is already trying to figure something out; the rain is just too heavy, and there's no way to contact the outside world."

Now all their hopes are pinned on the communications team, but due to equipment failure, they are helpless.

"No matter what, we must hold this position at all costs," Huo Yanchuan commanded in a deep voice.

They are soldiers; at this moment, even if it means death, they cannot back down.

He hadn't expected to encounter such a difficult situation, but there was no time to think too much at this point. He wouldn't give up until the very last moment.

With Huo Yanchuan's order, everyone resumed a new round of defense.

Although that's what they said, Huo Yanchuan knew in his heart that this time they would most likely have to rely on themselves.

He could only give himself a few seconds to think about Wenrou and his two daughters; the rest of the time, he had to do everything he could to lead his brothers to stop the disaster.

At that moment, another piece of bad news came from the front.

"Commander, two more brothers have been swept away by the flood because they couldn't keep up."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yanchuan's expression became extremely solemn.

"Go check on the situation at the communications group."

The communications team was also under a lot of pressure, but there was nothing they could do. They had tried everything they could, but they still couldn't get in touch with the outside world.

Meanwhile, Wenrou packed all the supplies with waterproof military camouflage cloth, then strung them together with a rope, and manpower was transporting them inside.

"Sister-in-law, let us do the transport. The water is freezing cold. You can just wait here for our news." Gao Weidong really couldn't bear to let Wenrou go into the water. After all, she was a woman. If something happened to her, how would he explain it to Commander Huo?

"Stop talking nonsense. If you can get in, why can't I? Quickly figure out a way to get these supplies in first." Wenrou already had a premonition that Huo Yanchuan's situation inside was not good. Every second they wasted outside, who knew how many people inside would be swept away by the flood?

Hearing Wenrou's gentle words, Gao Weidong had no choice but to give up.

For some reason, he saw Huo Tuan's shadow in Wenrou at this moment. Perhaps she had a natural leadership ability and could always convince people.

With gentleness and without further delay, they used manpower to transport the supplies in bit by bit.

Although the water was indeed very cold, and the mud and sand below had a strong suction force, it was easy to sink in.

Although Wenrou was slow, she took each step steadily, and she was also worried that she would be swept away by the flood.

It took them four or five hours to finally get the supplies safely from the outside to the inside.

Just when Huo Yanchuan and his team had exhausted all possible solutions and were certain that there was no hope left, good news suddenly arrived from the front.

"What happened?" Huo Yanchuan asked.

At this point, due to prolonged hunger, even his voice had become much softer.

Soon, someone excitedly said, "It seems that supplies have been delivered. We have food now and we don't have to work on an empty stomach anymore."

Upon hearing the news, Huo Yanchuan was taken aback at first, then led his men to the scene.

They had clearly lost contact with the outside world, yet supplies were still being delivered in at this time. He was both delighted and puzzled.

Who was it that was so quick to know they were short of supplies?

Just as he was pondering this question, another voice came over, "Commander, it's your wife. She's come to deliver supplies to us."

Upon hearing this voice, Huo Yanchuan's heart suddenly began to pound uncontrollably.

Just then, the familiar figure he had been longing for finally appeared before him.
