No matter how hard Ren Yuwei racked her brains, she could not have imagined that a man who had extended a helping hand to everyone in times of crisis would suddenly change his appearance completely. His aggressive demeanor and somewhat frivolous words left her speechless for a moment.
Yu Wei's life can be described as that of a hardworking princess born in an ivory tower. At a very young age, she entered a world-class university to conduct biological research and obtained a doctorate in engineering just after adulthood. At the same time, due to family reasons, she also minored in medicine. After graduation, she entered an official military hospital to continue her research.
She had never been in a relationship, or even been alone with the opposite sex of her own age, and her face instantly flushed. Her big, watery eyes flickered as she nervously looked around, trying to find help.
Xiao Yi also felt her uneasiness and helplessness, and instantly let go of the hand that was restraining Yu Wei's movements and took half a step back.
His expression returned to that unapproachable look, and he said in a cold voice, "Excuse me, pack your things and get ready to leave."
Before Yu Wei recovered from the shame and anger, she saw Xiao Yi had already picked up his things and walked to the side. He immediately began to pack his things in a hurry and prepared to leave.
Just as Yu Wei was concentrating on packing her things, the core of the research team, who was also Yu Wei's teacher, finally noticed Yu Wei and hurried over, still stumbling a little. "Weiwei, are you okay?"
Yu Wei heard the voice, her voice was a little choked, and there was an inexplicable feeling of grievance lingering in her heart, but she suppressed it well: "Teacher, I'm fine, are you feeling better?"
"The teacher is fine. He ate something and replenished his sugar and salt intake. He's fine now. Commander Huang told us to pack up and leave immediately."
"Okay, I got it, teacher." Yu Wei packed up the few things she had and carried them on her back.
The man Yu Wei calls teacher is 62 years old today. Although he is not very old, the hardships he has experienced along the way have made him look very weak and old.
This person is none other than China’s top academician, Yuan Xingdong.
This national treasure-level figure also took the lead in leading the team to develop the first batch of crops that are resistant to drought and high temperatures. Now they have begun to be planted on a large scale in the Northwest Base, so that the Northwest Base can at least eat normal food.
Yu Wei is his last disciple. He originally didn't want to take her on this adventure, but Yu Wei never cared about her young age, gender or other issues. She is hardworking and her knowledge and skills are also outstanding.
Yuan Xingdong brought her along, but he didn't expect that not only he almost died here, but also caused all his students to die here.
So the look he gave Yu Wei was filled with deep heartache.
A pretty girl in her early 20s should be living a free and carefree life, but now she is walking on the edge of life and death every day. She never complains, but he has to protect her well, otherwise he won't be able to face his old comrades when he returns.
Just as Yuan Lao was about to help Yu Wei get something, a man came over quickly from the side, supported Yuan Lao's arm, and said in a concerned voice: "Teacher, why are you here? Are you still feeling unwell?"
When Mr. Yuan saw the visitor, his face was filled with relief: "I'm fine, I just hope you're all okay."
The man nodded, but his eyes turned to Yu Wei who was standing beside him: "Junior sister, give me the things, so that you and the teacher can have a better time."
"That's not necessary, Senior Brother Chen Bai. Just take good care of the master. He's old." Yu Wei said softly, looking at the man opposite.
"Okay, then you should be careful too, Junior Sister. Let's go, Master." The man called Senior Brother Chen Bai nodded to Yu Wei, then supported Old Yuan and began to walk towards the main force. Yu Wei also followed quietly behind him.
Huang Xiongwei regained some of his former majesty, began to count the number of people, inventory the supplies, and led everyone forward.
The sunlight was stronger before, so everyone was equipped with solar charging devices, so almost everyone's flashlight still had some power.
Everything is set to power-saving mode, just enough to see the road clearly.
Xiao Yi walked in front, looking at the oxygen detector in his hand.
This detector is an instrument often used by expedition teams, especially those engaged in underground exploration or mining, and by archaeologists.
It's about the size of an alarm clock, with two retractable antennas on the front that can detect wind speed and the source of convective air. It can also monitor oxygen levels in real time, allowing trapped people to find an exit based on the direction of convective air and oxygen levels.
On the inside of Xiao Yi's wrist, he wore a high-strength anti-magnetic watch of the Boll Space Engineer model, which he used to observe the approximate time at any time.
Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, the magnetic field in most places has changed, so many watches cannot be used. In this situation, it seems not very safe for Xiao Yi to take out a mobile phone from the space to check the time, so Xiao Yi can only use a watch that is still working properly to estimate the approximate time.
Everyone walked and stopped, and after about ten hours, most people could no longer hold on. The oxygen concentration was now about 17%, which was very close to the normal value.
Huang Xiongwei and Xiao Yi discussed it and decided to let everyone rest where they were and have some sleep before continuing on their journey.
When everyone heard that they could rest, they all breathed a sigh of relief and started looking for a place to sit down. Then they took out the dry food they were given and started to eat it in small bites.
Huang Xiongwei's people over there also mixed saccharin and sugar with water and distributed it to everyone, one cup per person.
Only Xiao Yi, under the pretext of exploring the way ahead, walked forward a bit before finding two large beef burgers in the space and quickly devouring them. After eating and drinking his fill, Xiao Yi drank another bottle of spiritual spring water and filled his large, cross-body thermos with a rich, mellow caramel latte. Normally, it would be too sweet, but now, it was just right.
