NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1088: God
At dusk, Qi Hancai hurriedly returned from outside.
She tossed a stack of papers on the desk, exhaling a long breath.
Wu Heng asked, "How did the meeting go?"
Qi Hancai broke into a bright smile, "It only benefits them, no harm, why would they disagree?"
After saying that, she took a big sip from her cup and continued, "Li Yahong will be responsible for selecting and arranging specific personnel and equipment for the rescue team. The allied bases will mainly provide logistical support and coordination, aiming to have all the preparations in place within a week, and then immediately launch the action."
Wu Heng nodded with satisfaction.
He has always trusted Qi Hancai's ability to get things done. Since she took over the management of the South Korea Base, not only has everything been in perfect order, but she has also become increasingly adept and thorough.
"Remember to post announcements via radio and forums in advance to give survivors in remote areas some preparation and to boost morale," Wu Heng added.
"It's already arranged, the publicity drafts will be released by tomorrow morning," Qi Hancai responded efficiently, evidently having thought of everything in advance.
Seeing this, Wu Heng couldn't help but smile in relief, "Good, I'll leave the rest to you guys, you are the experts in this area."
"Don't worry! I said a week, but maybe it won't even take that long," Qi Hancai replied confidently, then changed her tone, "Dinner is ready, let's go eat first."
"Alright, you need to be full of energy to work," Wu Heng stood up.
Qi Hancai naturally stepped forward, tidied his not-so-messy collar, half-jokingly and half-seriously said, "That's more like it. If you just leave after giving the task, I'd really get upset..."
Wu Heng lightly patted her back with a smile, "How would you cause trouble?"
"Well, I'd go to Xinfu City to bother you, wherever you stay, I'll stay, refusing to leave," Qi Hancai replied with her eyes twinkling and a smile.
"Alright, I'll work 'hard' tonight, let's see if you can get up tomorrow."
Qi Hancai jokingly punched him lightly, "No need to 'work hard'! Just do your best."
The two chatted softly as they walked out of the office, heading to the cafeteria for a meal, and then returned to their quarters to rest.
...
The next morning, Wu Heng returned to his temporary dorm at the South Korea Base.
Four Ghosts were gathered in the room, each browsing their phones.
Seeing him enter, Xiao Xiao immediately held up a bunch of colorful phone cases, saying proudly, "Uncle, look! I bought new phone cases for everyone!"
"You bought so many?" Wu Heng said.
"We have many people! And Sister Minnie and the others usually don't have a chance to change these, so I bought more to keep as spares." Xiao Xiao said, pulling out a simple-designed black anti-fall case for him, "Uncle, this one is yours!"
"Our Xiao Xiao is getting more and more considerate." Wu Heng smiled, rubbing her head, and accepted the phone case.
Sitting down to the side, Glenda said, "The forum post about the Spirit Awakening Sect leading the rescue has blown up, shortly after it was posted, there were already hundreds of comments."
"What are people's attitudes?" Wu Heng asked while changing the case for his phone and opening the forum.
"It's almost overwhelmingly supportive. Many people said this should have been done long ago, it could save more people." Glenda continued.
Wu Heng clicked into the pinned post:
[The Spirit Awakening Sect will lead the Dawn Alliance to carry out a large-scale rescue operation for survivors in remote and high-risk areas]
The comments refreshed rapidly beneath.
"This should have been done earlier! Thumbs up for the Spirit Awakening Sect!"
"The Dawn Alliance was too slow before, if it weren't for the push from the Spirit Awakening Sect, who knows how long it would be delayed."
"There are still quite a few zombies around here, food won't last a few days, please prioritize our rescue! Coordinates attached!"
"This is an organization that truly works for the survivors!"
In the blink of an eye, the number of comments had surged from hundreds to nearly a thousand.
No matter how many people can be rescued in the end, the action itself has already significantly boosted the Spirit Awakening Sect's reputation and public image.
After browsing for a while, Wu Heng felt satisfied with the current public opinion trend.
"The situation here is already handed over to Qi Hancai, she will form a team for the rescue, we don't need to intervene further."
"Yep, it's good that the arrangements are set," Glenda agreed.
Wu Heng stood up, "Let's go, we're flying back."
"Oh!" several Ghosts nodded and followed him out.
After bidding farewell to Qi Hancai outside the airport runway,
they boarded the plane, returning to Xinfu Prison.
And through the prison, they went to Gold and Silver Island.
...
Inside the Island Lord's Mansion.
Wu Heng and Lady just came down from upstairs, seeing Xiao Xiao distributing phone cases to the women in the household.
Though Xiao Xiao was young, she was much more mature than her peers in thought.
She was very good at maintaining relationships in her own way, everyone in the Island Lord's Mansion liked her very much.
Especially Lilith, Shanaela, and others.
Since Wu Heng himself couldn't have children, he felt a bit like treating Xiao Xiao as a daughter.
Wu Heng walked down, asking, "Did you all cultivate?"
Shanaela smiled, "We finished cultivating in the morning."
"Did anyone succeed in their cultivation?" Wu Heng asked.
The women glanced at each other and shook their heads.
"No worries, take it slow, we're not in a rush!" Wu Heng said and then added, "I'm heading out now."
"Okay!" Shanaela nodded.
Wu Heng took Lady, released the Teleportation Technique, and went to the wild forest at the back of Gold and Silver Island, continuing their cultivation in the usual spot for the second layer of 'Five Qi Chaoyuan'.
