Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 120: Accepting More Allies

"We got more cement than we anticipated. Luckily, the space rings Bunny gave us are big enough. Otherwise we would have had to leave some things behind." Father Chu said, looking relieved.

"That’s true, there were tens of thousands of cement bags in the factory and also a lot of unprocessed limestone.

At first we wanted to only take the already manufactured cement and leave the rest, but we thought that the limestone might be helpful in the future too. So we decided to take it as well." Mother Chu added after her husband spoke.

"What you did was right. The limestone will have its uses in the future. Anything else?" Grandpa Chu asked.

"Yes, apart from the normal cement, we also got thousands of bags of white cement and waterproof cement.

It was really a blessing that we decided to go out today to collect supplies.

The cement factory is in a low area and even though the city has shown signs of flooding, the water only reaches the ankle. However, at the cement factory, the water is already up to the calf when standing outside.

Luckily, the warehouses and storerooms in the factory have their floors raised. Otherwise, some of the cement would have been soaked already." Father Chu explained what they found and the situation.

When they heard that, the others started to worry.

"It looks like this rain isn’t letting up and we don’t know how much it will last. It’s better to go out again tomorrow and collect more supplies before everything floods." Butler Cheng suggested.

"I think my second grandpa has a point. Let’s collect as much as we can in the next few days. I wonder if the government will provide more emergency supplies to the citizens." Chu Miao said as she wondered what would happen to those unable or unwilling to go out and scavenge waiting for the government.

It was actually sad to know that some people were still not waking up to the situation they were in and still wanted to depend on the government to rescue and support them.

"I’ll call that old man Li and ask what’s happening in the government." Grandpa Chu said as he took his phone and made a call right away.

Everyone else kept quiet and listened as the call went on.

Grandpa Chu and grandpa Li started with their banter as usual before getting to the real reason for the call.

"Old Li, how is the government going to deal with this crisis and help the citizens?" Grandpa Chu asked.

There was a long silence on the other side before everyone heard an audible sigh.

Not like they were trying to eavesdrop, but with their spiritual power, it was inevitable that they would hear everything.

"Don’t ask my friend. Everyone seems to have awakened their greedy self who had been buried all this time and is trying to gain more power and wealth.

You and I fought in the battlefield and chased and killed enemies to protect this country, but it looked like we didn’t set a good example as old timers.

Right now, apart from the president, no one else in the higher ups seems interested in helping the citizens, especially the ordinary ones, the old, weak, sick, and children.

Even some military officials who took an oath to protect the country with their lives have started forming cliques with politicians.

My sons and grandson have decided to retire from the military and find another way to serve the people. Not where they are taking orders that might end up hurting innocent citizens." Old man Li explained what had been happening in the government.

"So, what are your plans now if your entire family doesn’t want to be associated with the military or government?" Grandpa Chu asked again.

"My friend, to tell you the truth my family has been training diligently recently and both my son’s and one grandson have leveled up their superpowers.

We want to ally ourselves with your family. I don’t want to beat around the bush, you and I have been friends for decades, so I see no need to pretend.

I want my family to ally themselves with yours because honestly at this point, you are the only person I can trust.

I trust your character and I know that no matter the circumstances, you will not abandon your principles and morals." Grandpa Li stated his decision.

"Alright my friend, I will talk to my family and we will discuss our next move. There are some boys in our building who still have the heart of a soldier even after early retirement and are already part of our team.

I will call you once everything is decided." Grandpa Chu said to his long-time friend.

"Ok my friend, I will wait for your call." Grandpa Li said as he heaved a sigh of relief.

He didn’t expect his request to be received so easily. Since Chu Zheng had not outright rejected his request to become allies, he knew it was a done deal.

They just had to keep training and become stronger.

"Grandpa, have you decided to ally with grandpa Li’s family?" Chu Miao asked her grandfather immediately to hang up the phone.

"I wanted to talk to you all about it. What do you think of Old Li’s family as allies? If you don’t want to, you can say it. Don’t worry." Grandpa Chu reassured everyone that they could freely express their opinion.

"With everything going on, we are going to need allies who can help build a sanctuary not only for us, but also for those who might join us in the future.

In that case, why not choose people we are already familiar with and have a certain level of understanding as our allies?" Father Chu asked.

"That’s true grandpa, you have been friends with grandpa Li for many years and understand him well. So, we should listen to you.

If you say he can be an ally, then we won’t object." Chu Hao also said his piece as he grabbed a glass of water on the table and took a sip. frёeωebɳovel.com

"Is everyone in agreement to accept the Li family as allies?" Grandpa Chu asked as he turned to look everyone in the eyes to confirm that they were not forcing themselves.
