Bai Shuang was originally going to toast everyone to thank them for their hard work in papermaking during this period.

Unexpectedly, they used tea instead of wine to pay tribute to Bai Shuang and Lu Yu.

We are grateful to Bai Shuang for treating and saving lives on several occasions, and for bringing them vegetables and fruits on many occasions. We are also grateful to Bai Shuang for this delicious meal she provided.

Afterwards, disregarding his superior status, Lu Yu accompanied Bai Shuang to the hall and thanked everyone one by one for their contributions during the papermaking process.

After the meal, the executives all asked Bai Shuang for mint tea. Unable to refuse their hospitality, Bai Shuang gave each of them a packet.

"Now they've dug up all my secrets."

Bai Shuang's peppermint tea is produced by the space and brewed with spiritual spring water. It can dispel wind-heat, clear the head and eyes, and also has the effects of relieving sore throat and pain, and soothing the liver and relieving depression. The effect is very good.

Mint has a strong reproductive ability and plenty of space, but you can't take out too much, lest it arouse suspicion.

After the meal, Dr. Ma pulled Bai Shuang aside to discuss medical techniques. The medicinal herb seeds she had given him last time had actually been successfully grown by him, and some were almost ready for harvest.

I heard that when he has nothing to do, he spends all his time tending to his potted medicinal herbs, either providing extra light, heating them, watering them, or fertilizing them.

Seeing how hard he was trying, Bai Shuang gave him seeds of two common medicinal herbs.

Today, the meal took a long time, and it got a bit late afterward, so we'll have to do the moving tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Bai Shuang prepared many medicine kits, each containing hemostatic drugs, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, bandages, and commonly used medicines for treating colds and diarrhea.

They were all traditional Chinese medicines, packaged into small packets, and given to them as thank-you gifts.

Soldiers are often injured, and hopefully this will give them an extra layer of protection.

Of course, the medicine packets could only be distributed to the workshop workers; there were too many people in the army, and it would be unaffordable to distribute them to everyone.

The soldiers were overjoyed to receive the medicine kits, and then carefully put them away. Medicines were extremely expensive at the moment, far beyond their means, and there was a severe shortage of medicines in the military.

After dinner, Lu Yu and Bai Shuang put on warm clothes and took a walk near the military camp.

The camp is located in a cluster of large, interconnected office buildings. They chose this location because the buildings are tall and won't be flooded, and the interconnected buildings make management easier.

The two walked along the snow path that everyone had cleared in front of the building, and occasionally encountered service soldiers who came out to collect snow or throw away trash.

"When are you leaving?"

"Within two months."

"Are we taking this entire unit with us?"

Lu Yu nodded, "Take them all. This army was originally brought from Kyoto to carry out missions before the disaster."

At the provincial official base, local military personnel maintained normal order.

"Shuangshuang, let's go together. From now on, you don't need to worry about anything; I'll take care of everything."

As he spoke, Lu Yu pulled her into his arms and pressed his face against her head.

Bai Shuang's mind went blank for a moment, as if she had frozen, but she quickly realized that this guy had launched a surprise attack.

"You've crossed the line."

Bai Shuang is usually very quick-witted. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be paralyzed before they could even get close. But she couldn't bring herself to hurt Lu Yu, who had been through life and death with her several times.

Lu Yu took a few deep breaths, suppressing the impulse in his heart, "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself."

Bai Shuang tilted her head and said, "Be more careful next time."

Lu Yu bent slightly... She was lecturing him, but he didn't seem angry.

Lu Yu told Bai Shuang that the Kyoto base is about 1,300 kilometers away from Tang City, located on Xian Island in Shandong Province, at the confluence of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea. It has abundant water resources and is also a production base for high-quality agricultural crops before the disaster.

Military bases are the best-equipped bases, relying on science and technology and using the world's most advanced construction techniques.

The organization operates under a military-style management system, and all personnel who come here are rigorously selected. In times of crisis, this is humanity's last hope.

The first phase of the official bases in each province has been completed and has begun to receive personnel, while the Zou Province base is located in the Guanzhong Plain, 200 li away from Tang City.

Next, the public will be relocated to the base, and the municipal leadership team, research institutes, and other personnel will also be relocated to the base in succession.

By bringing survivors together, it becomes easier to concentrate resources, manage them uniformly, and fight for survival as a group.

Of course, you can choose not to go, but the problem is that you need to have considerable survival skills; otherwise, it's better to go to the base.

At least, as long as you're willing to work, you'll have food to eat. Of course, it's impossible to eat your fill, but eating until you're 60 or 70 percent full is not a problem.

Whether it was participating in the later stages of construction or producing and storing grain, it was all hard work requiring heavy labor.

Bai Shuang has her own secrets and doesn't lack anything, so she doesn't want to do manual labor.

However, no matter which base, staying at home for a long time without going out to work and still living healthily will arouse suspicion.

The thought of the Kyoto base having both the Kang family (Bai's traditional Chinese medicine rival before the disaster) and Ling Qingyao is just annoying.

So we'll postpone our visit to Bai Shuang until later.

Having made up her mind, she told Lu Yu about her idea. Since Bai Shuang was unwilling to go, there was nothing he could do. Fortunately, she was capable of protecting herself, so he let her be.

After returning to Building C, Bai Shuang first sorted out the various plant seeds she had brought back from Yang Ling and sent them to the research institute for Lu Yu and the others.

I had promised to return everything in six months, and although it hasn't been six months yet, the space reproduces quickly, producing one season per month, so all the seeds have been copied (planted).

I sorted out a lot of the convenience foods I had collected before, which I rarely used myself, and gave them to them to eat on the road.

They prepared a lot of medicine for Lu Yu and the others, and filled many mineral water bottles with the spiritual spring water to give to him.

Lu Yu and his team were busy handing over their work and preparing to break camp. Vehicles and supplies for the road all needed to be planned in advance.

The potatoes planted on the hillside that weren't eaten were all sliced, dried, and ground into powder. When they were making mulberry paper in the military camp, Bai Shuang helped them make a lot of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce from soybeans, which could be used to season the soldiers' meals.

Many other green vegetables were also dehydrated.

Food is scarce now, so many people are eating, so take it all with them.

Before leaving, he gave Bai Shuang an extra half-month of training on the snow leopard, repeatedly reminding Bai Shuang and the others to try to avoid danger.

On August 20th, Lu Yu and his group were about to set off. A few days earlier, Bai Shuang had made a lot of ginseng, chrysanthemum, and mint tea for them, which has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, refreshing the mind and invigorating the spirit, and replenishing vital energy.

They also made a lot of dried ginger slices to soak in water for them to drink to ward off the cold.

The day before, Lu Yu had Wang Bin and Liu Qiang, who lived upstairs, deliver ten boxes of weapons to Bai Shuang.

Since I won't be around, I'll leave her with as many things as possible to save her life.

Bai Shuang didn't refuse; taking it made him feel more at ease.

Actually, both of them were feeling bad at that moment, and Lu Yu tried hard to suppress the urge to hold her in his arms.

Perhaps she's right. In a natural disaster, it's best not to involve her too much. Once I leave, I'll be thousands of miles away, and who knows what the next time we meet will be like...
