Entering the virtual supermarket, Jiang He clicked on the magic shelf and entered "1" in the number of supply stations.

Then, press OK.

The system's voice immediately sounded: [Host, please select the location of the supply station~

The location of the built supply station cannot be modified, so please choose carefully.

Jiang He touched his chin and thought: "System, will we leave Nanyang Base later?"

[Yes, we're running a mobile supermarket, so we have to move!]

"Okay, then we'll build the supply station at the Nanyang base."

Jiang He chose the best location on the map, moved it around, and finally chose to place it in the small square of the base.

The supply station will be upgraded later, so we need to find a larger open space, and this place is perfect.

[Ding, it will take two days to complete the construction of the supply station. Please wait patiently~]

Two days later, the extreme cold that lasted for half a month finally ended.

The temperature has risen above zero, and the snow and hail on the road have begun to melt slowly.

The news that the next natural disaster will be an insect plague has spread like wildfire in the base.

On the military district side, after confirming that the news was released by Boss Jiang, Xie Jingshan once again convened various departments for an emergency meeting.

The head of the logistics department praised Jiang He highly, and said with a beaming face:

"Thanks to Boss Jiang! If we hadn't prepared for this extreme cold, our base would have suffered heavy losses."

But when talking about the next insect plague, he looked worried.

"We don't have much supplies to deal with the insect infestation at the base. Things like insecticides and protective clothing are only enough for our internal use."

Xie Jingshan frowned slightly and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips.

"During this period, have each team go out and search for insecticide supplies, and find as much as they can.

All existing materials at the base should be used to produce a batch of simple protective clothing as soon as possible, and the production of insecticides should also be carried out simultaneously.

In addition, we must hurry to improve greenhouse facilities to avoid a complete food shortage as we did during the extreme cold weather."

If planting is not put on the agenda, the base’s grain storage will not be able to feed tens of thousands of people for long.

As for filling water resources, Xie Jingshan handed it over to the R&D department.

The base collects a large amount of snow water, but it contains too many impurities. In order to convert it into drinkable pure water, R&D personnel need to further filter it.

Each department received its own task, but Xie Jingshan did not declare the meeting adjourned, and his voice was even heavier than before.

"There's one thing I never had the chance to say."

The leader suddenly became so serious that everyone present was nervous.

After a pause, Xie Jingshan continued:

"Boss Jiang once said that in addition to natural disasters, there will also be mutated animals in the apocalypse.

Their attack power is still unpredictable, but they will definitely be our greatest enemy.

If we don't strengthen the base's defenses, once a beast tide arrives and those mutant beasts besiege the base, Nanyang Base will likely be completely destroyed."

The words "mutated animals" made everyone's hearts, which had sunk to the bottom of the valley, continue to sink.

Not only do they have to deal with the upcoming natural disasters, but they also have to resist mutant beasts that may appear at any time. The task is so arduous that it makes people breathless.

And I don’t know when this kind of life will end.

The conference room fell into deathly silence.

The current situation does not allow them to waste time.

Xie Jingshan rationally distributes the residents of the base, striving to ensure that there are enough people for every task.

As long as you are a member of the base, men, women, young and old, everyone must be mobilized.

Not long after the meeting ended, the broadcasts in every corner of the base were activated again.

"Attention all residents, please come to the mission office on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to receive your mission.

The insect plague is imminent, and resisting the mutant beasts is also urgent. Everyone in the base must work together to protect their home.

Anyone who refuses to complete the mission will be asked to leave the Nanyang base on their own accord."

This broadcast echoed throughout the base.

All the residents looked nervous. The natural disaster was already difficult enough, and now there were mutant beasts. Isn't this hell-level difficulty?

No, we have to stock up on food quickly!

Shuguang Supermarket opened in the small square today, very close to the dormitory area.

When everyone came to line up, they noticed at a glance that there was a new building in the square.

However, it was covered with a layer of cloth, so it was impossible to tell what it was.

A customer asked curiously, but Jiang He did not give a specific answer.

"Wait another half an hour and you'll see it."

After saying that, she took out a package and held it in her hand.

"These are the insect repellent pills sold in the supermarket today. There are fifteen pills in a pack and they are priced at 200 points. They are affordable and effective.

Just one can eliminate insects within a two-meter diameter area.

One pill is effective for 24 hours, so if you keep two pills in your room, this pack will be enough for you to use for a week!"

As soon as they heard the word "insect prevention", everyone's eyes were like wolves, emitting a faint green light.

"Hey, my dorm is small, so I only need one a day. If I buy this pack, I won't have to worry about bugs invading my dorm for half a month!"

"Me too. I used to think the dorm was too small and suffocating, but now it smells really good!"

…

The customers in the queue were whispering to each other. Only at this time could they feel a little happy.

Each person is limited to buying one pack of insect repellent pills. Customers waiting in line at the back are standing on tiptoe to count the number of people, trying to figure out whether they can still buy insect repellent pills when it is their turn.

Wen Li counted twice and she was exactly the 100th person each time.

Chi Qingye stood behind her. After days of exercise, he looked much stronger than before.

It was mainly because the food was better. He ate three meals a day, and no matter what he ate, he would eat until he was full. Finally, he gained some weight.

By persisting in exercising, fat can be turned into muscle, and your overall sense of strength will increase.

Wen Li slowly turned her head, her knuckles clutching the corner of her clothes turning pale blue.

"Brother, you are the 101st one. I...I bought some insect repellent pills and I'll give you half."

Chi Qingye said with a cold face, "No need."

The day before the extreme cold ended, Chen Xiulan's condition worsened, and she eventually succumbed to the cold and passed away.

Because Wen Li had seen the person who took Chi Qingrou away, Chi Qingye promised Grandma Chen that he would help take care of Wen Li until the day he avenged his sister.

Although she said she was being taken care of, in fact, the fourteen-year-old Wen Li already had the ability to take care of herself.

All Chi Qingye had to do was go to Room 303 and knock on the door every morning to confirm whether she was still alive.

"Turn around and talk to me again when you find the person you met."

When they met for the first time, Wen Li thought that this little brother would be a very gentle person.

In fact, she was totally wrong. After spending a week together, she had never seen any other expression on Chi Qingye's face.

He spoke coldly, without any warmth at all.

As Wen Li turned around, the crowd around her suddenly became agitated.

"Oh my god, what is that? It looks a bit like a vending machine in a mall!"
