Over the next two days, people started returning.
After continuous salvage operations at the riverbed, most people’s bodies couldn’t withstand it, and they were sent to the Military District hospital for treatment.
On the other hand, each fleet would send frogmen to participate in the search, the manpower was already enough, and it would not make a significant difference in finding those missing for several days, so naturally, there would be no need for so many people.
After all, the rescue team consisted of more than just frogmen.
During these few days, Rowdy Brightwill had become a hot topic online, with many infatuated netizens elevating him to the skies, praying for the sunken ship’s passengers and even sparing the time to clamor about wanting to bear his children.
This was a positive image, and the Military District did not suppress the crazy adulation surrounding Rowdy Brightwill.
Moreover, since only a side profile of Rowdy Brightwill appeared, without a full-face reveal, and no other photos leaked, it didn’t have much impact on him.
The shipwreck was a disaster, but fortunately, no further disasters occurred in the days that followed, and no rescue personnel encountered any accidents during this operation.
Such a natural calamity plunged the entire nation into sorrow, for nobody wished for such an event to happen to themselves.
However, the nation’s swift actions kindled their hope again; the individuals who were rescued, the bright smiling faces, and the soldiers who risked their lives in the rescue efforts—all made them harbor hope for their country.
They started to believe that if they were to find themselves in a disaster, the country would also have the capability to protect them.
Just like with the Vernon earthquake, just like with the East River shipwreck.
Disasters are tragic, but the real tragedy lies in a country that lacks the ability to protect its people!
At the very least—
This country managed it, keeping their despair at bay.
Flossie Wright observed a country not by its economy or military, but by how it deals with disasters and the attitudes of its people towards the country.
If Flossie had been ambivalent about the country after the Vernon earthquake, this shipwreck incident changed her perspective.
A deeper consciousness took root in her mind.
If soldiers are the guardians of the country, then, for whatever reason, she too was one of those guardians.
She still couldn’t answer whether she would choose to forsake the people in a life-or-death situation.
But her subtle shift in attitude gave her sufficient reason to quell all the hatred.
"They’re all back."
At noon, Jessie Grain entered the Dormitory, speaking to Flossie Wright, who was taking notes with headphones on.
Turning her head, Flossie Wright slightly raised an eyebrow and removed the headphone from her left ear.
"Yeah," Jessie Grain nodded slightly, her lips smiling faintly, "Everyone."
𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Flossie Wright responded, indicating she had heard.
Accustomed to her coldness, Jessie Grain wasn’t surprised, shook her head, and then left the room.
Watching her figure walk away, Flossie Wright slightly lowered her gaze and put her headphones back on.
The next moment, the blaring "one two three four one two three four, elephant head song, green Military Camp green Military Camp taught me..." from the headphones caused Flossie Wright’s ears to throb painfully.
Immediately, she yanked the headphones off and tossed them onto the desk.
She hadn’t been listening to the MP3 much, and all the songs were downloaded by Olivia Hamilton, with over a thousand tracks, which she was too lazy to browse or delete.
