Chapter 228: Orders From The Capital
Chapter 228: Orders From The Capital
Seeing that Yao Ran was just staring at his body, Long Yu chuckled and hugged her.
With his arms around her waist, he lowered his voice and asked, "Are you satisfied with what you are looking at?"
Yao Ran raised her hand to touch his muscles and nodded, "Mhm. Your muscles are better than mine. I wonder when I will have a strong body like yours. It would make fighting easier."
"..." Long Yu was speechless.
He wanted to seduce her with his body, but she was focused more on comparing their muscles than on the romantic mood he was trying to set.
After Yao Ran shattered the pink bubble atmosphere in the air, Long Yu asked, "Did you come to see me for something?"
Yao Ran remembered why she'd come and stopped touching his muscles. She looked up at him and said, "Hui Hui just visited me and told me about the government's new announcement."
Long Yu thought for a second and said, "I heard the government is recruiting more medical personnel. Are you planning to work at the hospital?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yao Ran shook her head and replied, "No, I won't work there. But I want to send some medicine to Uncle Xu."
Listening to her, Long Yu frowned slightly.
"I heard from A Xuan that a lot of people were drawn in by the high pay and registered. But unfortunately, most of them don't have real medical skills. Even after hiring thousands of people, the situation hasn't improved."
"A Xuan also mentioned that incidents of patients attacking nurses and doctors have become more frequent these two days. Some patients even smashed the hospital and dared to attack the soldiers guarding the nurses and doctors."
After he said that, Long Yu asked, "When do you want to send the medicine to Commander Xu?"
Before Yao Ran could answer, someone knocked on the door. Long Yu released her and said, "Help me open the door."
Seeing that he had gone into the bedroom, Yao Ran went to answer the door. When she saw it was Shi Xuan, she stepped aside and said, "Shi Xuan, please come in."
Shi Xuan shook his head and said, "I just came to inform Captain that the military has received an order from the capital. They need to deploy special forces to search for medicine across the country, and each city has a list of medicines they need to send to the capital."
Hearing this, Yao Ran thought for a moment and asked, "Will the Juncheng Military Base also deploy the special forces and send the medicine?"
Shi Xuan replied, "I don't know yet. There is no official news. But from the information I have gathered so far, it seems that Commander Xu won't follow the order."
Lowering his voice, he added, "The people in the capital now aren't the original military leaders. They are politicians, wealthy figures, and some have even been involved in underground business in the past."
"Commander Xu mentioned that those in the capital want to build their own empire by exploiting the citizens. I also heard that Commander Xu has already joined forces with the Second Army's Commander and plans to separate from the capital."
"I believe they will announce the establishment of a separate military base after dealing with the cholera outbreak. If we choose to stay in Juncheng City, we may end up fighting against those in the central government."
Listening to Shi Xuan's explanation, Yao Ran's expression turned gloomy.
In her previous life, she had uncovered the involvement of both the military and government before she died. Those who had partnered with The Ark to conduct human experiments were connected to the capital and the central government.
Yao Ran narrowed her eyes and thought, 'It seems that those who took over the central government are from The Ark. I wonder when they started establishing their power.'
While she was thinking, Long Yu came out of the bedroom. Seeing Shi Xuan there, he asked, "Did you find out anything?"
Shi Xuan nodded and repeated what he'd told Yao Ran.
After listening, Long Yu sneered and said, "Those people really believe they can control everyone just by taking an empty title in the central government."
He thought for a moment and added, "I will visit Commander Xu with Ran Ran tonight. A Xuan, keep monitoring the situation and inform me if anything happens. Be sure to keep an eye on the Second Army."
Shi Xuan nodded, "Yes, Captain."
After Shi Xuan left, Yao Ran looked at Long Yu and asked, "You have spies in the
government?"
Long Yu smiled and replied, "Ran Ran, I may be retired from the military, but my people are still working there."
Hearing this, Yao Ran looked at him for a moment before commenting, "You are quite scheming."
Long Yu chuckled and hugged her from behind. He lowered his head, kissed her cheek, and then whispered, "Thank you for the compliment."
That evening, the military made another announcement. Anyone willing to donate medicines or medical equipment would receive protection and support from the military in solving future issues.
The military will help them solve their problem as long as it doesn't violate any morals or laws. However, depending on the donation amount, the maximum help they can receive is one to three times.
The moment the announcement came out, countless wealthy and influential families made their move. With their donations, medicines and medical equipment were sent to the hospital, and the military finally managed to control the cholera outbreak.
Before leaving for the military camp with Long Yu, Yao Ran went to the rooftop and secretly filled all the water tanks.
When she was done, Yao Ran and Long Yu put on respiratory masks and protective suits before leaving together. Although the military had announced that the cholera outbreak and protozoan viruses were under control, Yao Ran didn't dare to lower her guard.
An hour later, they arrived at the military camp. Seeing them approach, the soldiers guarding the gate stopped them.
