Chapter 1105 Snow Fall (1/2)
In terms of squad recruitment, Li Du wanted to get Brother Wolf's opinion. Brother Wolf
had the expertise and a knack for identifying the best ones. Big Ivan, whom he had
recommended, was a good example.
Li Du instructed Brother Wolf to accompany Sophie to check out the happenings in the
nearby town. Back at the villa, with the help of Hans, Li Du arranged for the rest to
collect water as part of their efforts to store extra water for emergency usage.
Some time later, Brother Wolf drove back at top speed and said solemnly, ”There aren't
enough resources at the town's clinic to tend to those who have been hurt. In
emergency cases, they send people to the city via a helicopter.”
Li Du was surprised and said, ”With such poor signal and reception, would a helicopter
be able to fly over?”
After all, flying a helicopter was not as simple as just taking off the ground. First, there
must be an application for an air-route. It was only after receiving the approval that the
helicopter could take off. Otherwise, it would not be long before it was shot down.
If it had been so easy to fly a helicopter, Li Du would not have stayed where he was,
anticipating the next earthquake in fear. He would have taken the helicopter and flown
off north.
Besides, there was another consideration. Typically, when natural disasters like
earthquakes happened, airports would not allow anyone to land. Hence, even if they
had managed to get the helicopter in the air, it would not be able to make a landing.
Brother Wolf said, ”It is possible to fly via the emergency medical channel route. We
have checked and been in contact with the hospital, and there would be no problem
with that.”
There was nothing Li Du could say to that. He gestured for Big Ivan to come over. Then
he said, ”Fly the helicopter, go to town with Brother Wolf and help transport the injured
people.”
Saluting, Big Ivan obeyed. ”OK, boss.”
Li Du was very satisfied with Big Ivan. When he left to start up the helicopter, Li Du
patted Brother Wolf's shoulder. He said, ”Do you have any more buddies we can trust?
People like Big Ivan? I would like to recruit more people into the team.”
Without hesitation, Brother Wolf said, ”How many do you need? I have six buddies we
can trust back in Germany.”
Li Du said, ”Get those six over then. You can make the decision on their salary.”
He had complete trust in Brother Wolf.
Brother Wolf nodded and said, ”I will go to town and protect your lady first. Once I have
a moment, I will send their profiles to you. You can review them and if there are no
issues, then we can talk about the rest.”
After Brother Wolf and Big Ivan left, Li Du continued with what he had been working on.
Now that there was one man less, the labor division had to be readjusted.
Big Quinn and Lu Guan were setting up the tents and Godzilla was packing up the
things in the house. He brought out the furniture and electrical appliances to minimize
the damage that the tremors could bring. Meanwhile, Hans was walking around
aimlessly.
Li Du could not bear to look at this and waved him over. He shouted, ”Big Fox, come
with me and fetch water!”
Hans yelled, ”Can't you see that I'm on the phone?”
Li Du said, ”I only see that you're walking around doing nothing!”
”I'm not just walking around, OK? I am searching for a spot with better reception okay!”
Hans said, indignant.
Li Du was speechless. ”Godd*mnit, you make that sound reasonable.”
There were some small bottles in the house. Li Du mobilized the five little guys, but only
Ah Meow, Ah Ow and Ali could be of help. Crispy Noodles and Ah Meng were too
small-sized for the task.
He went to the ditch to collect water. He filled a bottle to the brim, and then let Ali carry it
on its back.
The distance back to the villa was reasonable, but as the conditions of the terrain were
poor, driving was impossible. They had to walk back to the villa via the alleys.
After four or five trips, Li Du started to get tired.
When he saw that Hans was still on his phone, Li Du said angrily, ”Who exactly are you
calling?”
”Many people,” Hans replied.
Li Du said, ”Can't you just tell them you're safe and end the call? Do you have to stay
on the line?”
”I have a few more people to call.”
”How many?”
Hans ignored him. Li Du said, ”Didn't catch that, sorry.”
”I don't know how many, alright? We're having an emergency here!” Hans rolled his
eyes as he spoke.
Li Du said, ”Go fetch water.”
Hans said, ”What I am dealing with is more important. I am trying to get more
information on this earthquake! Fine, fine, you go on with your work. I know you're tired,
but if you want I will give you a massage to help relax your muscles.”
Li Du could not get Hans to budge. By then, Godzilla and Lu Guan were done setting up
the tent. With the pails in their hands, they had come over to volunteer their help.
