The supplies for the outer city camp arrived first, including tents, solar generators, heaters, lights, and a range of other wilderness survival equipment, as well as some winter supplies.
This time, we had plenty of time to prepare, and we had everything from thermal underwear and socks to hats and gloves.
Cheng Zhen still had ordinary people fully armed first, while those with superpowers endured a little longer. After drinking ginger soup and eating some dry rations, they plunged into the rice fields to harvest supplies.
Jiang Wan then got the twins fully armed and took them out of the car so they could stretch their muscles and bones outside. Staying cooped up in the car all day was not good for their growth and development.
The two little ones whispered to each other, and when she looked back, she saw them squatting in the farmland by the roadside, digging with small shovels. It seemed they were digging for crystals.
Jiang Xiaoshu does need to consume crystals to use her superpowers. Jiang Wan did not object, but reminded them, "You can only use it in this area. You can't go too far."
In fact, their entire force was also moving along with the progress of the farmland harvest.
Jiang Wan reminded Cheng Zhen: "Fully charge the solar power battery, everyone needs to keep warm tonight."
Heaters need electricity, and so do lighting equipment.
Old Liu brought ten solar generators, but that's clearly not enough!
However, this was already a result of piecing together two camps in the outer city. Because of the sudden arrival of winter, the city's electricity consumption surged, energy was in short supply, and most of the city was without power, with only a small amount of backup power left to supply the main departments for normal operation.
So everyone turned their attention to solar power generators, and this once-unpopular item became a hot commodity overnight, while energy generators were left there as scrap metal, ignored by everyone.
Jiang Wan said, "Let's get the power generator too. It's going to get dark soon, and we don't have enough time to store electricity. We have to use the power generator to get through the night."
Otherwise, everyone would freeze to death in temperatures of minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius!
Cheng Zhen thought about it and agreed, and immediately contacted Lao Liu.
Yu Tongguang was beaten to the point of near death, and his men in the inner city camp were only given the most basic winter supplies, and no one cared about them anymore.
Everyone was busy shoveling snow, harvesting crops, and setting up tents. For a while, it wasn't cold anymore. As others watched, they also had to join in the work, hoping to warm up their bodies as quickly as possible, otherwise they would really freeze to death when it got dark.
Yu Tongguang was in excruciating pain, feeling as if his bones were shattered. He gritted his teeth in hatred and suddenly called over Cao Jin, muttering a few words to him.
As night fell, everyone started the generator and huddled in their tents around the heaters, enjoying hot wild vegetable soup, when someone suddenly realized: "Captain Yu is missing!"
Pingjiang counted and found that Yu Tongguang and several others had disappeared, and they had also driven away in three cars.
The comrade who was in charge of parking came over and complained: "They not only drove off with the cars, but they also drained the gas from several of our vehicles! How are we supposed to get back now?! Damn it!"
Those people in the inner city camp are truly scum!
Zhang Yu finished a large mouthful of soup, exhaled a puff of white mist under the lamplight, and then said resentfully:
"Let them go! Let's see if they can get back to Xiangcheng safely! I've already reported their actions. Those bastards, I'm not going to tolerate them anymore!"
It's an undeniable fact that the people in Xiangcheng are protecting the inner city camp. Even if he reports it truthfully, no one will stand up for the outer city camp.
So when people heard this, they weren't really moved. They were just upset inside. They already didn't have enough oil, and now they had lost a lot of it. They probably wouldn't even be able to drive the remaining oil back to Xiangcheng!
At this crucial moment, Cheng Zhen had Yu Fen bring out several fuel generators: "Brothers, we need to harvest tonight! Everyone, form groups and take turns resting!"
Pingjiang stopped him: "I have no objection to harvesting overnight, but what are you doing with this? We don't have any extra oil now!"
Ignoring Pingjiang's objections, Cheng Zhen insisted that Yu Fen drain the fuel from the car: "Just leave one bar so it can run."
"Cheng Zhen! You've gone mad!"
"I'm not crazy." Cheng Zhen chuckled softly. "What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll open a portal and send you all back!"
He glanced at Jiang Wan instinctively, thinking that they had plenty of fuel reserves, so what was there to be afraid of?
Pingjiang remained silent, while Zhang Yu laughed heartily and helped him pump oil to generate electricity.
While they were working hard, the twins were not idle either. In the hour or two before sunset, the two of them managed to dig up several crystals. Although the quality was not very good, it was enough for Jiang Xiaoshu to use.
The two little ones had slept well during the day and were not sleepy now. After eating the dinner that Jiang Wan had prepared for them separately, they dressed neatly and got out of the RV.
The places where the snow had been cleared were now covered with a thick layer again.
The two little ones got interested and started digging holes in the snow to play.
After Jiang Wan finished washing the dishes and tidying up the RV, she was surprised to find that she hadn't heard the two little ones' voices for a while.
No wonder she felt an unprecedented sense of peace and quiet!
She hurriedly got out of the car, but the two children were nowhere to be seen. She became anxious and shouted, "Xin Xin! Xiao Shu!"
But where is their response?!
Hearing the commotion, Cheng Zhen ran over and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"They're gone!" Jiang Wan's face changed drastically with anxiety. "They've disappeared in just a short while!"
"Don't worry, I'll help you find it!"
Hearing the commotion, Yu Fen and the others came to help search. Suddenly, he tripped over something, stumbled, and looked down to see a child's leg, wearing chubby down pants.
"Xin Xin?"
Yu Fen looked down and saw the twins hiding in a snow cave, sitting and sleeping with each other.
"Boss! Jiang Wan! We've found him!" he shouted excitedly.
He immediately regretted it after calling out. Sure enough, the little devil with a bad temper woke up right away. He subconsciously felt a tightness in his back, sensing something was wrong, and instinctively tried to cover his ears.
But then the little girl's eyes darted around and she spotted Jiang Wan rushing over. She stretched out her little hand, pouted, and cried out, "Mommy, I want a hug! My heart is so warm!"
Jiang Wan looked down and saw the two little ones sleeping in the snow with rosy cheeks and sweat dripping from their masks.
A thought suddenly struck her, and she quickly put the two children in the RV and settled them in before getting out to find Cheng Zhen.
Then you can see several piles of white snow rising up around the rice paddies!
Cheng Zhen was leading people to build up the snow mountain, then hollowed it out from one side, and poured water to freeze it solid.
They're building a snow house!
She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; this person was thinking the same thing as her!
In the snow and ice, snow houses are warmer than tents. Several people can share one snow house without needing to turn on the heater, which also saves electricity!
The night passed quickly and efficiently. Early in the morning, before Jiang Wan had even gotten out of bed, there was a loud knocking on the RV door. The knocking was urgent and hurried, indicating that the person who came was extremely anxious.
