Chapter 502: People haven't come back yet

Xie Chunyan stood there and watched until the lights of the truck disappeared into the darkness, then she turned around and went back to the stone house.

Ten days passed in a flash, and during this time one or two old men came to the fortress every day with things to exchange for food.

Under Xiang Yu's instructions, the robots had already become familiar with these processes, so Xiang Yu didn't have to worry about them.

There was a ding sound from the communicator. Xiang Yu picked it up and opened it. It was a reply from Zhao Lixin.

After leaving Xie Li, she sent a message to Zhao Lixin, but due to poor network connection, it would take a long time for the message to be transmitted.

It was ten days later that she received a reply.

[City A is in chaos, don't get involved. City B has also started investigating the planet. It will probably find out the exact location of the planet soon.]

[There are no less than 500,000 survivors gathered in City A, and they are all clamoring to enter the shelter in City A. ]

[City A Shelter is now under martial law. It may be difficult to find out the news.]

[By the way, what did you send this time? Is there anything you need? I'll prepare it in advance and send it back to you when your people arrive.]

Xiang Yu immediately responded to Zhao Lixin.

"I have plenty of them. All of those herbs have their uses. They are more effective than the Chinese herbs I used to have. I have an unusual plant that I have kept separately. If you have more equipment over there, you can study it carefully. It will probably be of great use."

According to Xie Li's speed, it would take at least another week for Xie Li to reach the Dawn Base.

If I want to come back, it will probably take about thirteen days. The round trip will take at least more than a month.

During this period, Xie Chunyan went out by herself and dug up some medicinal herbs in the nearby hills. She came to Xiang Yu to exchange them for an oxygen cylinder and two coarse grain cakes.

With concerns in her heart and when she was not busy, Xie Chunyan sat on the stone bench in front of the stone house, looking in the direction where Xie Li left.

I was looking forward to seeing Xie Li's familiar figure appear, and this wait lasted for half a month.

One morning a week later, Xie Chunyan went out as usual, with a cross-body bag on her shoulder, a small hoe in her hand, and walking nimbly in the mountains.

I had nothing to do in the afternoon. Today, there were quite a lot of elderly people coming to exchange things. I didn’t know who leaked the news that they could exchange food here.

Therefore, almost all the survivors who remained nearby came, and among these people, there seemed to be survivors from nearby cities.

Xiang Yu didn't think that there were too many people so he didn't change the land for them. Instead, he planted all the land in the space a week ago.

According to the time it takes for those grains to mature, it will take about a month.

However, the medicinal herbs brought by these survivors are becoming less and less every day, and it is estimated that all the ones nearby have been found by them.

It won't take long before there are very few people who can do this job.

Xiang Yu was directing from the side, asking the robots to move the things in.

At night, Xiang Yu was recording in the warehouse. This month's harvest was not as good as the previous period. In just one month, he only harvested more than 30 kilograms.

When we were brewing tea around the stove in the courtyard at night, the patrolling robot outside came to report that it had patrolled to Xie Chunyan's stone house during the day.

The people inside were not there, and two robots watched Xie Chunyan go up the mountain, but she would usually come back before dark.

Even if she went out for a day and came back empty-handed, she would rush back at night, hoping to see Xie Li returning to the stone house when she came back.

Xiang Yu had visited Xie Chunyan twice in the past half month, so he was familiar with Xie Chunyan's habits.

"How much time has passed since the people left?" Xiang Yu put away the stove on the ground and took out his hiking shoes from the space and put them on.

It has been several hours since the night began. If Xie Chunyan had set out in the morning, "Master, the people in the stone house have been gone for twelve hours."

Xiang Yu frowned slightly. According to her understanding of Xie Chunyan, she was a person who valued her life very much. She would definitely come back before dark every night. Sometimes when she was scared, she would even sleep near the fortress all night.

I would never leave for such a long time and not come back.

He called in fifty robots and began a carpet search of the area. Xiang Yu jumped onto the wall since no one could see him in the dark anyway.

He took off the troublesome oxygen mask on his face.
