Yan Yue glared at Yan Ping above him with a red face and thick neck. He had just said so much, but he didn't listen at all and still insisted on having his own way!

"I told you, the owner of that store is not someone we can compete with. Why are you still doing this!" Not long after he came back, he started packing his things, wanting to find a suitable time to go there, and did not want to tell his father.

There has been a sudden heavy snowfall in recent days, making it difficult for him to take people out. The supplies in the base can only last for a while, and he brought back a lot of things last time. He even handed over three space bracelets on his hands, leaving only one for himself.

But after Yan Ping learned that the store had such good stuff, and after he told her that the boss there was very powerful and even the leader of the Ping'an base fell into her hands, he didn't expect that the old man who didn't say much on the surface would turn around and arrange for people to go there in person.

Now you're telling him you just wanted to test his skills? How come he doesn't know this old man is so belligerent?!

Yan Ping sat upstairs, looking at his eldest son with a look of disapproval on his face. He even said that nothing in his base could compare to that so-called hotel?

He frowned and looked at Yan Yue. "Isn't it just that the decoration is a bit luxurious and the area is a bit larger, so it deserves your praise? Besides, we are not short of manpower in terms of military force. The ability to freeze people that you mentioned can also be achieved by some higher-level spatial abilities."

"That Roger wasn't very strong to begin with, so it's no surprise he got captured. I just didn't expect her to take down both bases."

He threw the information in his hand down, and Yan Yue subconsciously caught it when he saw it. He saw that it showed that everyone in the two bases had been accepted by the hotel.

"Can that small hotel accommodate so many people?" Yan Yue's focus was on this after seeing it, and then he looked at Yan Ping who was sitting above.

"You just want to eat up the people in these two bases, that's why you're so determined to bring people over. I'm putting it this way, it's up to you to decide what to do. I don't know why you have to bring so many people into the base."

"Brother, it's not right for you to say that. People are essentially a resource." Yan Qing's arrogant voice came from behind. Yan Qing walked in with a swagger, and the words that came out of his mouth made people feel uncomfortable.

Yan Yue looked at his half-brother, then looked at his father above him. There was no blame on his face, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"I've finished what I wanted to say. What you want to do is your own business. I have something to do, so I'll go back first." After saying that, he turned around and left without paying any attention to their reactions.

The rustling sound of snow along the way made the entire base seem very quiet. It was snowing heavily now, and it was not easy to go out to find supplies and fight zombies, so everyone stayed in their own small houses or rooms.

The facilities in Anhe Base are better than those in the other two bases. Although there are tent areas, the fabrics are thicker, and there are also many buildings and single rooms.

Yan Ping and his team cleaned up and protected this area before it was severely damaged, and built a base according to the terrain.

So since their living conditions were still pretty good, the hotel’s initial promotion didn’t attract them much.

After Yan Yue returned to his room, he took out all the crystal cores he had collected. He had previously gone to the hotel to buy supplies, and he had deliberately left some of the supplies behind and found someone to sell them to in the base.

The crystal cores in the base are useless. They just serve as shiny stones here, and many children use them to play games.

So he used very little supplies to exchange for a large number of crystal cores.

However, his father's attitude towards crystal cores was very strange. He had previously ordered that no one in the base should be seen taking out crystal cores. Once, he accidentally heard him asking someone to secretly exchange supplies for crystal cores little by little. Could this thing really be useful?

He counted it and found that there were tens of thousands of dollars, enough for him to live in the hotel for a while.

Now he just has to wait and see whether the old man really wants to take people with him. Then he can blend into the team and follow the team, which can reduce some danger.

As for whether they would fail there, Yan Yue thought of the hard work of those people on the HDTV he had seen before. For some reason, he put himself in the shoes of the old man and that cheap brother, and a strange feeling of pleasure swept over his body.

＊＊＊

It was snowing heavily outside and the temperature was several degrees below zero, but the enthusiasm in the villa remained the same.

The previous group of people had successfully moved into the apartment, but there were also many people who were in poor health or lived alone and did not want to rent an apartment, so they went to sleep in a dormitory or a single room.

For the time being, the whole is harmonious.

Zhao Jin and Jiang Xiao were in the supermarket, pushing a cart around. "It's too cold today, let's have hot pot."

Jiang Xiao suggested that the sudden change in weather also stopped them from going out to fight zombies. They had been staying in the apartment for several days, but they still took on some small tasks.

"Great! The restaurant has special ingredients. We can buy some and cook them in our own pots. We can also buy some drinks and snacks. There's a good show on TV. Let's call the captain and Li Xia!" Zhao Jin suggested excitedly.

"Go ask them if they want to be on duty. I'll go to the vegetable garden and pick some fresh vegetables so we can have a good meal tonight!" Jiang Xiao nodded.

She had rented half an acre of land and bought some seeds and eggs. The chicks had already hatched and were growing very fast in the past few days. If time was available, she would have killed them and stewed them into chicken soup, which would have been delicious!

However, the green vegetables planted earlier seem to be almost ready. There is a reminder after the task that there are special bonuses in the villa, which can speed up the planting and breeding by two-thirds. However, the quantity purchased by each person will be limited in proportion to the land.

Except for the lack of raw food, most of the supermarkets are well equipped. They had already bought kitchen utensils and dishes, and now came out to buy some seasonings and other packaged foods.

They were deeply impressed by the ham sausage they had when they first came to the villa. Now they can buy some of it back. They have knives to cut it, and there are also vegetable packages that will be released later. These can be eaten for a long time and can replace the vegetables in the field when they are not yet ripe.

When you make it yourself at home, you can also save some money.

After they came out of the apartment, they saw the one-bedroom and one-living room inside, and guessed that there would definitely be bigger room types, just like the several room types in the hotel. So they saved money and bought the bigger house as soon as it came out.

If you didn’t buy a house before the end of the world, it was simply because you couldn’t afford it, but now the price seems not expensive, so you can’t be unable to buy it.

After buying the things, they carried the bags and walked towards the apartment. The road passed through farmland, and looking around, there were many people in the farmland.

In the entire villa, only the farmland was automatically isolated from the snow, and not a single snowflake fell on the farmland. Gao Ziang and his family just came out of the restaurant.

They had just finished lunch and were about to go to the farmland they rented.

Because there were five people in the family, they asked for one acre of land and raised ten chickens and ten ducklings next to it. When we walked to their land, Gao's father and mother were already busy working inside.

Gao Ziang took out his membership card and stretched it into the land through the air. After automatically identifying the people who could enter, a ripple appeared in front of them.

That’s right, the farmland here is also structured like a large bunk bed. People inside can come out, but those who want to go in must identify themselves. At other times, any farmland that is rented out is owned by someone.

Such a setting can not only avoid some unnecessary disputes, such as some unscrupulous people sneaking in and picking the vegetables that people have worked hard to grow, but also protect the livestock raised there.

Many people applauded after learning about this effect. This way, they don’t have to stay in the vegetable garden all the time or worry about whether the vegetables will disappear.

"Wow! Fluffy little chicks!" After Duoduo entered the farmland, she immediately broke free from her mother's arms and ran to chase the chicks that were making childish calls.

Touch this, pat that, and laugh happily.

Gao Ziang and Qi Yun went to help Gao's father and mother bury the seeds, then weeded the ground and added some water.

Although the weather is cold, the farmland seems unaffected. Even the chicks and ducklings are running around energetically, and it doesn't look like it's winter at all.

After Zhao Jin returned to the apartment, he went out to take pictures of the apartments of Chen Hua and Li Xia across the street. They both rented an apartment together, and the apartments were across the street from each other.

After a while, no one responded. Maybe they were on the early shift, so she planned to go buy the side dishes first and then notify them by phone.

When you enter the restaurant, there is a separate window that sells food that is not sold in large quantities in the restaurant on weekdays. The price is expensive and can only be paid with crystal cores.

This time she came for the hot pot platter. When she got closer, she saw that there was only one plate left. It cost 299 crystal cores and included all the food in the hot pot she had eaten before.

There are all kinds of meat, including pork throat, tripe, shrimp balls, lamb, duck intestines, fatty beef, etc., which together weigh a total of 15 kilograms. There is also a small vegetable platter to help you relieve the greasiness.

Zhao Jin immediately swiped her credit card to buy it. She had previously saved the crystal core into her membership card, and now it came in handy.

When she was about to leave with a big bag of things, she happened to meet Shi Jiu coming in for dinner, and she immediately greeted him.

"Boss! Are you going to have lunch?"

When Shi Jiu saw that it was Zhao Jin, he thought, "Oh, she's an old customer, "Yes, you... want to order hot pot?" Shi Jiu saw what was in her hand at a glance.

This was the method Qin Lou came up with. It could not only slowly consume the food material which was originally in small quantity, but also collect the crystal cores smoothly.

"Yes! We're planning to eat it tonight. Boss, do you want to join us?" Zhao Jin invited her enthusiastically.

This is not necessary. Although he knows her, they are not that familiar with each other. Shi Jiu immediately declined.

"No need, enjoy your meal!" After saying this, I always felt that such a dry refusal was a bit awkward, and I turned around and took out a plate of snacks, which was still stored in a constant temperature box.

"I have some snacks here, take them and enjoy your meal!"

Zhao Jin opened the box and saw what was inside through the transparent lid.

"Ah! It's chicken feet! And crispy pork!" Zhao Jin was surprised.

"Yes, I just made it yesterday. There are three kinds: chicken feet, crispy pork with rice crust, and brown sugar rice cake. This box has a strong heat preservation effect, and the food inside will maintain the taste of the original pot. Go and try it."

Shi Jiu has not been very busy these days, so he just made these things in his room. I think they are perfect for hot pot.

"Wow! It looks delicious! Thank you, boss!"

Shi Jiu looked at her leaving figure and suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten hotpot for a long time and felt a little greedy.

The author has something to say:

Woohoo! I haven’t had lunch yet even after writing this, and I’m craving hotpot!
