The moment Peng Hang saw Fu Li, he only had one question in mind: Why was it him again?
Currently, the tide had just receded and the streets were stained with filth. In order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, all factories in Linhai City ceased operations and schools halted classes. This was so that the professionals arranged for by the departments could disinfect and clean the city. As such, there were very few pedestrians on the streets.
Fu Li's group was currently walking along the streets in attire that was spick and span, without even masks or gloves on. Even their shoes were mud-free. Peng Hang had an inexplicable feeling that this group who stood out like a sore thumb had mistakenly entered this place.
After Fu Li's group left the sea, they had intended to leave straight away. But when they thought about Linhai City that might have met with a tsunami, they decided to come to the city to take a look. After a cursory look around, they were much more reassured. There was no resentment or any human casualties.
The humans' powerful rescue systems in the event of a disaster and high regard for the lives of ordinary civilians could also be considered a form of improvement on the part of human society.
The sun came out again the day after the rise of the tides. The streets were both stuffy and hot. Officers in camouflage attire pushed large boxes of trash towards the garbage truck. From time to time, ordinary residents would carry fruits and bottled water over with the intention of shoving them into the officers' hands. However, they were all rejected.
Chao Yun watched these young men dripping in sweat from the heat of the sun, admiration in her eyes. She had stayed by the side of a female emperor and had always been respectful towards such pure soldiers.
"Madam, there's more muddy water on this end, don't come here," A young lad pushing a small cart smiled, revealing a mouth full of white teeth. He pointed at a small alley ahead. "The pavement hasn't been cleaned yet, everyone should refrain from leaving their houses for the time being."
"Thank you," Chao Yun glanced at the long-sleeved top and girdle skirt she was wearing before looking down at the clean and pretty red high heels on her feet. She flashed the young lad a grateful smile.
"You're welcome," The young lad didn't look any further at Chao Yun. He pushed the cart along and went off in a haste, his green rubber shoes covered in muddy water.
Chu Yu was moved. "This sort of scene always makes me feel that expending so much energy and doing so many things are all worth it."
"These people are really cute," Fu Li watched the busy officers on the streets. Turning his head, he saw an elderly man directing his granddaughter who couldn't be more than five years old to deliver water to the officers. If the officers refused it, the little granddaughter would open her mouth and bawl, to the point that the officers could only temporarily stop what they were doing and twist open the cover of the bottle to drink a few mouths of water.
Little bear children had great uses at certain times.
Sure enough, ordinary humans couldn't do anything about children.
The elderly man's 'rotten idea' likely served as a kickstart, because several 'bear children' less than ten years of age very quickly came out with drinking water or fruits and pestered these officers to no end to drink a bit of water and take a short rest.
There were even those in the prime of their lives who came out to help with shovels or brooms. For a time, the street was bustling with noise and excitement.
Fu Li nodded. Although all sorts of hateful humans appeared all the time, there were still many more cute ones.
"Mr Fu Li."
