Chapter 319 Request
Xin Nian recognized the young man in the lead; he seemed to be a clerk who worked alongside Registrar Ding.

He knelt down with a thud, and the other four followed suit, crying and pleading, "Commander, young lady, please save the lives of more than a thousand people in Wenjun Village."

The regimental commander glanced at them and said, "What's the matter? Stop kneeling all the time. I hate people like you. If you have something to say, say it. Stop crying and whining."

"And let me make this clear beforehand: we are all mortals of flesh and blood, not some gods who can take whatever they want. If it's too dangerous, then don't bring it up. No one would risk their own family's lives for a group of strangers."

The clerk beside Chief Clerk Ding was speechless at the words of the regimental commander, and stammered, "Please help the people in our village. We are all surrounded by the Red River. Once we run out of food, we will surely fight each other, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Yes, yes, and that red river is extremely hot; if even a drop gets on your body, you'll die instantly. The village is on high ground, so it may be safe for a short time, but there's no guarantee that the river won't flood into the village in the long run."

The other three also chimed in with words of help, clasping their hands together and bowing deeply.

"What red river?" Old Xin asked, puzzled.

"It's lava. The earthquake caused the lava to surge up." When they received news that a fight had broken out at home, they naturally rushed home immediately.

But even from afar, one could see the horrific scene of the bandit stronghold in Wenjun County being engulfed in molten lava.

Old Xin was startled, "Molten lava?"

This is no joke. Sending them to rescue a village surrounded by lava is something ordinary people can't even get close to.

It's only because their team has so many people with superpowers that their daughter can think of a solution for them.

"Why didn't you run outside when the earthquake struck?"

Old Xin's question left the five people looking awkward.

The attendant behind him stammered, "We had already quickly sent word to everyone to evacuate the village as soon as possible."

"But everyone is packing and packing their things..."

Xin Wenyuan was convinced.

In the face of a major disaster, who cares about tidying up? A normal person would be running for their life!

"Commander, now is not the time to pursue this matter. Please lend them a hand." The clerk cupped his hands again, his face full of sincerity.

Xin Nian glanced at the five people, then looked at the piles of sand, gravel, and bricks of varying heights on the surrounding construction site, and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

The base is under construction, but where will a group of people from Wenjun County live after they relocate here?

The underground city could barely accommodate over 90,000 people; it was already at full capacity.

Moreover, most of these people from Wen County had previously drunk unclean water. Even if some of them have good immunity and haven't developed tumors on their faces or bodies yet, it cannot be guaranteed that they will remain safe for the next three months.

While this thing is unlikely to be contagious, you never know, there might be a chance...

It seems unreasonable to just stand by and watch more than a thousand lives go by.

After all, it was just a matter of relocating a group of people, and Xin Nian was actually quite confident.

After a natural disaster strikes, taking away countless humans, those few survivors... there's no reason not to lend a helping hand, especially if you have the ability to do so.

Xin Nian said sternly, "You all go outside and wait. This is a big matter, we need to have a small meeting to discuss it."

The clerk beside Chief Clerk Ding seemed somewhat anxious. "Young lady, please lend a helping hand to our village. There is a granary below our village. If you can rescue them, we are willing to offer up the entire granary."

“Yes, yes, besides the granaries under the village, we can also draw the locations of the major granaries in the border town and give them to the commander and the girl.” “The grain stored in these granaries will ensure that the people of the border town will not lack food for a year.”

"Yes, yes, that's a huge sum of money. At that time, the border town had a population of over 300,000."

Xin Wenyuan was so angry that he laughed. "What are you sending? The Wenjun County area is surrounded by lava right now. Ordinary people can't possibly go there to transport grain."

The clerk gave an awkward smile and said weakly, "Well, we know that neither the commander nor your daughter are ordinary people."

He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect again, "I beg you all for your help. Of the more than 300,000 people in the border town, some have fled, some have died, and those remaining... alas..."

Old Xin's face was grave. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, you all go out first. We'll discuss it among ourselves."

The patrol guards stepped forward and politely and distantly invited the five people to the outside of the city wall.

Xin Nian glanced at the construction site, sighed, and asked Xiao Teng to notify her mother and the others to come over for a meeting.

Xin Nian took out a simple mosquito net made of Mongolian yurt, and the seven members of the team sat in a row to discuss what to do next.

"Let the twelve earth-elemental golems stay here and continue working. Sister Ling, you keep an eye on them and take the blueprints with you to supervise the project."

Chen Ling nodded in agreement.

"Father and eldest brother will take the remaining twenty puppets and go rescue those idiots first, but we need to make it clear to them beforehand. Once they arrive, they must obey orders, and if they cause trouble, they can get lost. We don't have that much energy to deal with their antics."

"The border town granary is the fee we collect for rescuing them. We have to take it. You don't need to worry about it. I'll go collect it with Little Fatty later."

"In addition, after these people are brought back, they will be placed in wooden sheds outside the city wall and will all undergo medical examinations. Have Lao Zhuang and the others prepare to complete the first round of screening within five days."

"We won't give away the medicinal herbs for free; let them exchange them for grain themselves."

“Arrange some work that the women comrades can do, such as weaving baskets, sewing clothes, making hats and gloves, and sewing door curtains.”

“These are all counted as points for them. Just like the people in our group, they work in exchange for food. Our base has never raised any parasites from the very beginning.”

"Children under eight years old and the elderly over sixty-five years old are exceptions."

"We need to establish a commune system. We should build three to five large canteens in the city, where points can be exchanged for meal tickets."

“The points will vary depending on how much work each person does. The standards will be carefully developed and established by Mianmian and Sister Ling. They will also work together as the scorekeepers from now on.”

Recorder Chen Ling diligently wrote down everything the team leader said in her notebook, treating it as gospel.

Mianmian felt her vision going black and black again, as if the sky was collapsing and collapsing, and she felt that there were so many things to do.

“We split into two groups. Father and elder brother will go to pick up those people, while Jinzhi and I will go to the Yanbei Royal Court to see if Grandfather and the others are imprisoned there.”

"Mom and Mianmian went to the farm to plant crops, irrigate the land, and create more forests to practice their superpowers. From now on, our team will take turns practicing our superpowers."

“I’m almost at the eighth rank.” Xin Nian looked at everyone expressionlessly. “Jin Zhi’s ability is different from others. Although there is no rank division, his ability is very strong, as you all know.”

"You must keep up the good work. Don't think that everything will be fine just because you've reached the sixth rank."

The group leader, whose name was mentioned, turned even darker...

Who are you picking? This brat, she's not cute at all.
