Chapter 148 May Experience Extreme Weather
Bai Chi slowly put the Corpse Fruit in his hand into his mouth, chewed it carefully, his expression complicated, and he did not speak for a long time.
Yu Xiang, her eyes fixed on Bai Chi, asked impatiently, "How does it taste? Is it bad? Tell me already!"
Bai Chi swallowed the Corpse Fruit in his mouth, smacked his lips, and said, "It's not bad, and the taste is quite good. It's just that compared to the ones you gave me before, it feels like something's missing in terms of taste."
Yu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "Then there's no problem with these Corpse Fruits. Next, you organize the zombies to harvest them and distribute them according to the plan we discussed earlier."
The Corpse Fruits sold in the game store are definitely carefully selected premium fruits, which are better in all aspects than those they grow themselves. There's nothing that can be done about it.
Bai Chi nodded vigorously. "Okay, boss, I'll go arrange it right away."
Yu Xiang continued, "You stay here and do your work. Qiao Yue and I will go to the base gate and check on the situation there."
Upon hearing this, Bai Chi quickly said, "Boss, I'll go with you. I'll explain things here quickly."
Du Rong is guarding the gate. She's always had a problem with him. If she doesn't come along, she'll definitely badmouth him to the boss, and then his status in the boss's heart might not be as high as hers.
Yu Xiang waved her hand, refusing Bai Chi's offer.
"No, I'll feel more at ease if you keep an eye on it yourself."
She didn't want them to start arguing again after they met, which would give her a headache.
Seeing his boss's resolute attitude, Bai Chi had no choice but to say, "Okay, boss, I will definitely complete the task you assigned me diligently and will never let you down."
Yu Xiang nodded casually, then turned and left with Qiao Yue.
The way down the mountain was much easier than the way up.
Yu Xiang and Qiao Yue walked briskly and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Afterwards, they drove to the base gate.
As soon as Youxiang got out of the car, Du Rong immediately noticed and rushed over with a warm smile, "Boss, you're here!"
She looked around and found that she only saw Qiao Yue. She frowned and, just as Bai Chi had expected, immediately started talking badly about Bai Chi.
"That idiot didn't even follow the boss! He's such a useless lackey!"
Yuka didn't want to dwell on the issue and quickly changed the subject, saying, "I'm here to install a defense system on the main gate and surrounding area to greatly improve the base's security. By the way, I'd like to ask about your recent situation and whether anything unusual has happened."
After listening, Du Rong thought for a moment and replied seriously, "It's just that we haven't seen many humans lately. Before, there would always be some outsiders who would come here unintentionally every now and then."
Yu Xiang frowned slightly, lost in thought, her eyes somewhat unfocused.
Inadvertently, she noticed that Qiao Yue beside her was looking around curiously, occasionally raising her hand to fan herself vigorously. Fine beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead, and her face was flushed from the heat.
Is it because the weather is just too hot?
People are reluctant to go out in this sweltering heat.
If the temperature continues to rise uncontrollably, things will get really bad, and it looks like she'll have to make plans soon.
Thinking of this, Youxiang's expression turned serious, and she said to Du Rong beside her, "Du Rong, you are in charge of organizing all the zombies with water-based abilities in the base, and making them store water every day until they have stored 100 tons. Also, arrange for fans, air conditioners, and other cooling items that are not available. If the number is not enough, send some zombies outside to find some. If it is still not enough, then tell me and I will find a way to solve it."
Alas, you only realize how little money you have when you need it, and the same applies to her game coins.
She needs to save up more game coins for emergencies, otherwise she won't be able to buy anything if she encounters an emergency.
Upon hearing this, Du Rong's eyes widened slightly, and she asked with some confusion, "Does Boss think there will be high temperatures coming?"
Yuxiang nodded, her cute face full of seriousness. "Yes, so during this period, you and Idiot must prepare all the necessary measures to prevent heatstroke and high temperatures, and you cannot slack off in the slightest."
Du Rong glanced in the direction of the base gate and asked, "What about the base's defense and access control? The boss entrusted everything to me before."
The division of labor between Du Rong and Bai Chi in Youxiang is mainly that Du Rong is responsible for external functions, while Bai Chi is responsible for internal functions.
Regarding Du Rong's question, Youxiang pondered for a moment, "You can entrust the base's defense and access control to other trusted zombies for now. I may need to stay home for a while and focus on making preparations. If anything happens, just ask Bronson or Yueyue to tell me, and they will relay the information to me."
She knew in her heart that she had to seize the time to play games and earn game coins so that she would have enough ability to cope with future changes.
Du Rong: "Okay, boss."
Afterwards, Du Rong exchanged a few words with a zombie, then hurriedly left with some other zombies to arrange for water storage and prepare cooling equipment, among other things.
Qiao Yue, who was listening from the side, was completely confused. After Du Rong left, she quickly grabbed You Xiang's arm and asked, "Little You, what were you talking about just now? You said something about high temperature and water retention. What's going on?"
Qiao Yue, who couldn't understand the zombie language, could only glean fragments of information from Youxiang's words.
Yu Xiang looked at Qiao Yue and patiently explained, "Yueyue, I think the weather might suddenly change and become very hot, so we need to prepare in advance."
Qiao Yue's face immediately showed anxiety, her eyes full of worry, "If that's the case, what will happen to my sister and Chen Yunfei? They have already escaped the base, and they don't have many supplies with them. They will have a hard time coping with the high temperatures."
Yuxiang frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she came up with a solution.
"How about we announce to the public that I'm here? That way, Yan Yan and Brother Chen will hear about it and come looking for me. I won't let anything happen to them since they're in my base."
This was one of the reasons she initially established the Peach Blossom Spring Base.
Although Qiao Yue was very worried about her sister and the others, she forced herself to stay calm.
Yuka shook her head at the suggestion, her expression grave. "But if we do that, others will come after us too. They've all believed Dr. S's nonsense, saying you're the key to ending the apocalypse. Given the current situation at the base, if all of humanity unites to attack, we might not win, and everyone in the base will be in danger."
Yuka fell silent, unsure of what to do.
