After a long while, Lin Hongmei's voice rang out.
"Alright... I'll have Ge Yong arrange for the security team to maintain order in various places as much as possible... I hope there won't be any trouble."
"Mom, have Brother Ge Yong ask the security teams in various places to apply to the local governments for police force to maintain order. We can't rely on our own people. The crowds alone could crush our people to death."
"I'll also talk to the military headquarters later and try to get the troops stationed in various places to cooperate with our work."
"Mm." Lin Hongmei's tone gradually became lighter. Now that she had made the decision, she had let go of her worries. As long as she could save lives, that was all that mattered. As for the 700 yuan control fee and the subsequent fees, which she hadn't yet decided how much to charge, it wasn't so high that it would deter people. After all, they hadn't applied for memberships before.
"Yao'er, we can also take this opportunity to expand the volunteer team, so that volunteers can coordinate and organize members who are willing to help and have time to assist in maintaining order in various places. It is a good training opportunity. The development and management of volunteers in the past few days have exposed some new problems, which is a good opportunity to hone their skills."
"Okay, Mom, you guys decide what to do. I'll go to Beijing right now."
Lin Yao smiled, then suddenly remembered something important he hadn't mentioned yet, and immediately emphasized, "By the way, Mom, have Dad help me immediately arrange for the herbs on the list to be sent to Beijing. I urgently need them for this alchemy. People in Beijing should also purchase these herbs immediately. I'll be back in Beijing in about two or three hours. I'll let you know now. I've already sent you the list of herbs for the alchemy. Have Dad retrieve it and prepare it immediately."
After a few words, the call ended. Lin Yao looked up and saw Yi Zuojun and Dika staring at him in surprise.
"What's the matter?"
Dika smiled and said nothing, while Yi Zuojun maintained his surprised expression. He knew Lin Yao's temperament and knew he wouldn't be blamed for this. "Sir, we are in Huizhou City, in Guangdong Province, almost two thousand kilometers away from Beijing!"
"If I'm alone, I can get back in two or three hours. Is that what you're wondering about? It's nothing."
Lin Yao spoke casually, but it surprised the two even more, because everyone knew that Lin Yao was not talking about taking a plane back. Even if there was a military helicopter parked outside the yard, Yi Zuojun knew that its speed would not exceed 450 kilometers per hour. Of course, this was a judgment he made without witnessing the helicopter landing, otherwise he would not have been surprised.
“Sir, I’m also going back to Beijing. I’m good at handling medicinal herbs and unloading and receiving goods.”
Yi Zuojun immediately put aside his doubts and expressed his value, which was exactly what Lin Yao needed most.
"Alright, I'll tell Lieutenant Colonel Du Chenfeng in a bit, you and Dika can take his plane back to Beijing."
Lin Yao nodded in agreement. He did need Yi Zuojun as a good helper. "By the way, you must remain vigilant at all times while you are on the plane. Lieutenant Colonel Du has been flying for a long time and is a bit tired. In case of any problems with the plane, your own safety is the most important thing. Protect yourselves! Do not attempt to rescue anyone!"
Lin Yao's unreasonable order received two responses; Yi Zuojun knew the gravity of the situation. His own value far exceeded that of a lieutenant colonel piloting a plane, especially during this critical period of the pandemic.
As for Dika, although the life and death of people in the outside world could also evoke emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness in her, Lin Yao's orders were the most important, and she would of course obey them. Unless the pilot was a member of the Daika tribe, it would not affect her obedience at all. Her life as the chieftain had made this simple Miao girl resolute and ruthless.
...
A series of phantom-like images suddenly appeared around the helicopter. Lieutenant Colonel Du Chenfeng, who had not received any further orders, remained seated in the helicopter's pilot's seat, adjusting the instruments to prepare for any possible takeoff order. Then, he suddenly noticed the mysterious General Lin standing beside him.
"Forest……"
"Lieutenant Colonel Du, I'll go ahead first. You take two men and fly to Beijing as soon as possible. Their names are Yi Zuojun and Dika."
Before Lieutenant Colonel Du could speak, Lin Yao gave the order directly: "By the way, safety is the top priority for this flight, while saving as much time as possible. If there is any problem with the plane, land on the spot immediately. Do not force it to continue flying. Then contact the nearest military unit to provide a new helicopter to pick them up. You must get them to Beijing as quickly as possible."
"If there are any problems, just say it was me. If that doesn't work, go directly to the military headquarters, to General Xiao Li'ao."
"Remember, safety first!"
After Lin Yao finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly turn into a wisp of green smoke, which swept away into the distance at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind a trail of gray smoke. When Lieutenant Colonel Du came to his senses, he realized that the green smoke was heading northeast, the direction of Beijing.
"General Lin..."
"Lin Yao..."
As the smoke dissipated, shouts of varying pitches echoed from the second-floor corridor of the CDC, the voices of local officials and martial law troops.
Everyone already knew and accepted Lin Yao's extraordinary abilities. The group of people who had been closely watching and waiting in the corridor outside the second-floor conference room saw the green smoke and Lin Yao appearing next to the helicopter within the smoke. They originally thought that Lin Yao would come back to discuss work with them after instructing the helicopter pilot on his mission, but unexpectedly, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.
By the time everyone realized what had happened, it was too late. Lin Yao was nowhere to be found, leaving behind only anxious people who were at a loss for what to do, and worried party secretaries and mayors.
The most terrified person was undoubtedly Luo Jizhen, the mayor of Huizhou. With Lin Yao gone, she didn't even have a chance to apologize and ask for forgiveness. She didn't know what kind of storm awaited her. Just thinking about it now makes her shudder. Some of the things she had heard over the years made Luo Jizhen, the eldest aunt, no longer dare to underestimate Lin Yao's ruthlessness and warnings.
What should we do now?
"Commander-in-Chief, my husband has gone to Beijing. He has already left Huizhou. You all go about your work. I need to go back to Beijing too."
Yi Zuojun and Dika appeared at the entrance of the conference room, each pushing a mobile hospital bed. They handed the last two still unconscious experimental patients to the nurses waiting outside. Then, they told the anxious commander-in-chief of the epidemic about Lin Yao's whereabouts in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Did General Lin say anything else? When will he return? Has he found a solution?"
An official from the Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention, who was the commander-in-chief of this outbreak, opened his eyes wide and asked three questions in a row. He was so close to Yi Zuojun that his breath was almost hitting Yi Zuojun's face.
"We've found a solution. Minhong headquarters is organizing production. You can contact them there. You can discuss the specifics yourselves. I have to go to Beijing now. Goodbye."
Yi Zuojun nodded, giving a pleasing answer. Then, seeing the crowd that was almost completely blocking the corridor, he pushed off with both legs, lifted himself up, and floated towards the ground floor. The figure following behind him was Dika, who hadn't said a word the entire time.
