George didn't let Chen Yuanyuan and his party wait too long, and rushed back in less than five minutes to bring everyone good news.
"I've asked the boss. You can come in, but you can only park in the open space next to the control room. You can't wander around. If you need water, we can only provide it in limited quantities," George said.
"It's already very good, thank you." Chen Yuanyuan said.
Under the leadership of George and Johnny, we drove the car to the control room.
The United Community is composed of three old-style buildings connected together, with about eight floors. The building area is not large, and it seems that there are only two households on each floor.
But from the dilapidated house number at the door, it can be seen that this place should have been a family home of some department in the past, so the anti-theft fence is still quite stable.
After Chen Yuanyuan got out of the car, a man with blond hair but slightly dark skin who looked to be Latino came out of the abandoned control room.
"Daniel, this is Miss Chen Yuanyuan and some of his friends." Zhuang Ni said.
"Hello, I am Daniel, the person in charge of this community. Thank you for the gift you brought. Maybe your coming today is God's arrangement." Daniel smiled.
"Thank you, Daniel, we will go to other places after the patient is stable." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Don't worry, the control room is usually vacant. I just cleaned it up. There is a fan inside, but the power has been out for a long time. You can try to connect it to the power supply in the car." Daniel said.
"It's good that we have a parking space, thank you."
"You're welcome, I'll have someone bring some water later, but if you want to drink it, remember to boil it. This is just simply filtered river water." Daniel said.
Daniel and Chen Yuanyuan left after saying goodbye, and they went back to the car to rest.
"Yuanyuan, you are quite fluent in English. Weren't you a poor student before?" He Yuehua asked.
Although she had been to the United States with Chen Yuanyuan before, she was basically with Bai Ziqian and Shen Yichen.
At that time, the only way to use English in the United States was to ask the price when buying something. I didn't expect that Chen Yuanyuan's accent was quite authentic.
"Don't forget what I do. In the past, foreign trade companies had to deal with foreigners. How can we do it without a few words?" Chen Yuanyuan's English proficiency did improve after taking over her father's company.
Although it is definitely not possible for Chen Yuanyuan to write an English article or take a test paper, daily and business English is still no problem.
"What method did you use just now to let them go?" Xiao Yan couldn't help but be surprised when he saw how quickly their attitudes changed.
"I happened to have a Sheng Sutra in the car, and my mother also believed in the same religion as them, so we started chatting." Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile.
Although Chen Yuanyuan herself has no religious beliefs, in her heart, her central idea is to lead people to be kind and not to be superstitious, so she has made friends with different faiths.
"Fortunately, you turned the number fast. I remembered that there was a book in the car, so we could stay." Xiao Yan praised it.
"Hey, I only thought of it when I saw the cross on Zhuang Ni's neck." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"Thank you for your hard work. I feel much better now." Cheng Lingxiang, half lying on the bed, thanked Chen Yuanyuan.
"You're all our own, so don't be polite. Have a good rest. Oh, Hua Lai, help me get something from the luggage compartment under the car." Chen Yuanyuan said.
"I'm coming, your friend is tired too." Xiao Yan said.
"Please stay with your wife more. It's not heavy. She's just holding a flashlight for me." Chen Yuanyuan said and pulled He Yuehua out of the car.
After getting off the bus, Chen Yuanyuan asked He Yuehua to look after her, and then kept stuffing supplies in the luggage compartment.
In terms of food, Chen Yuanyuan packed a self-heating hot pot, instant noodles, canned food and compressed biscuits, as well as two boxes of drinking water and a change of clothes.
Chen Yuanyuan put He Yuehua's whip, long knife, blade, body armor and other weapons and equipment into a bag, and asked He Yuehua to take them to the car first.
"Are there any medicines that should be prepared?" Chen Yuanyuan asked.
"Acetaminophen, ibuprofen, methyldopa, erythromycin" He Yuehua picked up the weapon bag and counted the names of the drugs one by one.
"Uh, forget it, take a look at what you need and make a list for me later." Chen Yuanyuan thought for a while, it was too hot outside, so she decided to get it later.
After He Yuehua got back to the car, Chen Yuanyuan was taking a few boxes of self-heating lunch boxes and wanted to get back to the car, when Daniel came over with two people carrying buckets.
"You can use this water and tell me if you have any problems." Daniel said.
"Thank you!" Chen Yuanyuan said.
Just as Daniel was about to leave, Xiao Yan stepped out of the car.
"Yuanyuan, I'll go out and look for wooden boards and iron sheets to seal the windows at the rear of the car. Otherwise, the air conditioner won't be able to cool down and it will consume too much fuel." Xiao Yan said.
Only then did Chen Yuanyuan remember that during the shootout with the Li family's pursuers, she broke the glass of the window.
"Boards of wood? How big of a board do you need?" Daniel, who knew a little bit about Chinese, asked after hearing Xiao Yan's words.
In the past, Daniel and his group collected a lot of wood and stockpiled it during the extreme cold. Now that the weather is hot, wood is no longer needed except for cooking, so the amount used has been reduced by more than half.
"Come over and see if there is a suitable size. The glass at the back of our car is gone." Chen Yuanyuan took Daniel to the back of the car to have a look.
"We still need to see if there is any way to fix it." Xiao Yan thought for a while and said.
"It should be of this size, but it's not very thick. I'll bring the tool box to you one piece at a time." Daniel remembered that there was a pile of bed boards, and it would be fine after cutting them.
"Okay, I just want a piece. I'll trade it with you for some food." Chen Yuanyuan and Daniel also met by chance. Although wooden boards were not a rare commodity, it was not easy to just take them from others.
"No, no, no, these boards are just for firewood. Just use them if you can." Daniel said.
"We have occupied your seat and water in vain, please wait a moment." Chen Yuanyuan ignored Daniel's refusal and walked back to the carriage.
Chen Yuanyuan thought for a while, then took a can of Brazilian instant coffee and a can of nuts from the kitchen cabinet, then got out of the car and gave them to Daniel.
"Eh? These are all specialties from my hometown!" Daniel didn't want to accept them at first, but his eyes lit up when he saw the two cans of food in Chen Yuanyuan's hands.
"I used to do import and export trade, but I didn't expect that it happened to be a specialty of your hometown." Chen Yuanyuan was not sure whether Daniel Ning was Brazilian, but she guessed that foreigners also generally like to drink coffee.
"Thank you, I'll send someone to get the wooden boards and toolbox right now." After Daniel received Chen Yuanyuan's supplies, he picked up the walkie-talkie and asked someone to get the supplies.
While Daniel and Chen Yuanyuan were chatting, Xiao Yan suddenly heard a shout from the back of the car.
"Brother and sister, it's not good, come over to the back of the car and take a look!" Xiao Yan shouted hurriedly.
