Apart from basic diet and rest every day, everyone worked hard to strengthen their physical fitness.

Lu Nange and Chi Yanzhou both had a premonition that they would face a life-and-death battle upon returning to the capital.

On the training ground.

Lu Nange and Gu Wan, who had been exercising for the whole morning, were now lying on rocking chairs, each chewing on a bag of spicy strips.

Chi Yanzhou and Lu Xici beside him were making hot tea on a charcoal stove, and curls of white mist mixed with the fragrance of tea rose in the cold air.

On the day when he was taking a break at the gas station, Shi Xu asked Lu Beiye to build a simple experimental table at the entrance of the gas station.

He used the instruments that Lu Nange and his companions brought back from Xie Zong's laboratory and Jin Ye's underground warehouse to refine the medicine according to the methods recorded in the materials.

Lu Beiye was full of curiosity about the experimental process, and Shi Xu strictly required him to wear a gas mask before approaching the experimental area.

The little guy was surprisingly cooperative. He sat quietly on a small stool in the corner of the laboratory, his hands on his knees, watching every step of Shi Xu's operation intently.

In the laboratory, the liquid in the test tube gurgled under the heating of the alcohol lamp, reflecting a halo of light, which was reflected on Lu Beiye's focused little face.

Shi Xu would occasionally stop and explain the principles of the experiment to him in simple language, and the child would open his eyes wide and nod seriously.

......

On the morning of the ninth day, the view was still a dazzling white. The strong reflection made people feel uncomfortable if they looked at it for a second.

Lu Nange looked at the snow in the distance that was almost as high as her and sighed helplessly.

She had to go out - otherwise she would miss the "Youyou" brand ten-day sign-in reward. No, that was not just a reward, it was all the love that Youyou showed her.

"Zhizhi and I are going to the back mountain for a walk," Lu Nange said to the group eating breakfast, "and we'll stock up on some firewood."

Lu Beiye immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Sister, take me with you!"

Gu Wan: "Nannan, I'm going too, I'm going too... I've been so sleepy these past few days that I've grown mushrooms."

The originally planned solo action quickly turned into a group activity with the participation of all members.

The snow conditions on the back mountain were more severe than expected, and the deepest part was almost enough to drown an adult.

Chi Yanzhou, Gu Qi, He Zhuo and Ji Xian used their special powers to clear out several paths for pedestrians.

A group of people were in the mountains, cutting trees and picking up branches...

He Zhuo and Gu Wan picked up a long branch and poked around in the snow like they were treasure hunters.

He Zhuo muttered to himself, "Maybe I can dig out some mutant ginseng essence..."

As the team advanced deeper into the mountains and forests, Lu Nange signed in frantically from the moment he set foot on the mountain road, and the system's prompts kept ringing in his mind.
