Fan Zun knocked gently on the door, then pushed it open and entered, closing it tightly behind him. At the base, the two of them didn't have many opportunities for in-depth private communication. So as soon as the vehicle left the base, Fan Zun couldn't wait to show off his "achievements."
Fan Zun sat proudly on the chair beside Xiao Yi's bed and crossed his legs: "How is it? It's effortless and you can move everyone. This is the power of knowledge. Come on, praise me~~~~~~~~."
Xiao Yi looked at the man in front of him, who smiled like a flower and was very arrogant. He suddenly missed the time when they first met. Fan Zun was always deep, lustful, and mysterious. But he seemed down-to-earth and reliable. If someone had told Xiao Yi at that time that the real Fan Zun was ridiculous, arrogant, and so hot-blooded, Xiao Yi would definitely have found someone else to partner with. Xiao Yi looked up, then lowered his head again, flipping through the book in his hand. His tone didn't show any big emotional fluctuations: "Well, then?" Fan Zun moved closer to Xiao Yi and asked: "Then? Then? What then? Isn't the success of the first step worth celebrating?" Xiao Yi: "Well, celebrate. Go ahead, get your ham and make a cake, and celebrate properly." Fan Zun's emotions, which were still overflowing just now, suddenly cooled down a little: "Oh, I see. Don't be proud, don't be complacent, don't show off. Don't say harsh words, kill with one blow. Black-bellied man, I'm talking about you. A toad swallowing a frog, ugly but full of evil." After speaking, Fan Zun pulled the thick wool blanket on Xiao Yi hard. Turned and walked out.
As soon as he left the room, Fan Zun's expression changed. It was still that gentle, mysterious, and mature face, enough to deceive everyone. After Fan Zun left, Xiao Yi covered himself with the blanket, his eyes fixed on the book in front of him, but he gradually lost himself in thought.
Soon, it was time for lunch. Ever since Wu Jie opened the supplies, everyone's meals had improved. The firm, sweet rice paired with the pickles and Kung Pao chicken from the meal packs was perfectly delicious. Pre-apocalyptic military rations naturally used a generous amount of ingredients. Finally, there was dehydrated vegetable lotus soup soaked in hot water. Xiao Yi and several members of the Beidou team also shared two boxes of luncheon meat, both purchased by Xiao Yi at the base. Xiao Yi had more than enough supplies himself. Besides rent, there wasn't much else to spend at the base. So before leaving this time, Xiao Yi had purchased a large box of luncheon meat and some common foods, such as compressed biscuits and whole-grain dried French fries. He not only gave some to Yu Wei, but also brought some for Ye Ming. Yu Wei had become quite proficient at using the stove, and she even showed Xiao Yi how to quickly prepare an entire meal in a small iron pot. Yu Wei was also very obedient. Every day when she came home, she would keep the stove warm. The small fire kang under her butt was a lifesaver. Now Yu Wei would do almost everything on it. It must be said that when technology and civilization are destroyed, the simpler and more direct things, the less valuable things, the more they can truly meet people's most basic needs. Things like fire kangs, Yu Wei had only heard of them vaguely.
Central heating, floor heating, and air conditioning in cities can all meet basic heating needs. Who would bother heating a kang?
But Yu Wei also knew that few in the base were as comfortable as her little room. No matter how much clothing you wore, this most primal warmth was the most comforting. Xiao Yi stayed overnight in Yu Wei's little room before leaving. Aside from feeling a bit dry from the heated kang (kang), he didn't experience any discomfort. The room was warm enough that even showering wasn't too cold. It was just that the temperature difference between the doors was quite large, so inevitably, the frost on the door was thicker than on other doors. For Yu Wei's safety, and to avoid arousing suspicion, Xiao Yi researched extensively and found information suggesting a buffer zone for cold air. While the dormitory was empty, Xiao Yi cleaned the thick frost outside the door. Then, outside the door and curtain, about a meter from the entrance, he began drilling holes in the wall. Xiao Yi installed a simple, light-transmitting glass door for Yu Wei. To ensure a tight seal, he covered the door inside and out with thick plastic.
Originally, this door was a soundproof door specially used in recording studios, so its sealing performance was very good. With Xiao Yi's wrapping, the sound insulation and cold air isolation effects became equally good. Finally, a thick door curtain was added inside the door, and it was done. Xiao Yi tried it. With the buffer of a door, as long as the two doors were not opened at the same time, there would not be a large amount of water mist generated due to the temperature difference, and the condensed frost would not attract other people's attention. Xiao Yi can be said to be a good man who is filial to his parents 24 hours a day. He thought of almost all aspects inside and outside, and helped Yu Wei do it. Only in this way, Xiao Yi will feel at ease.
The seven members of Beidou sat at a table, devouring their food with eager mouthfuls. The others were in no mood for conversation. After all, the food was truly delicious. The Dushi team fought for every bite, and many, thinking of this, ate with even greater relish. After lunch, Wu Jie briefly convened a meeting with the team leaders, outlining the specifics of the situation he had learned so far.
Wu Jie: "The mutated zombies we encountered last time, the zombies that could control mutated rats, must be still fresh in everyone's memory. The team that set out to investigate has already sent back the first wave of news. It is almost certain that there are a large number of zombies very similar to the last time, entrenched in the front. So our mission is to eliminate them."
