Half an hour later, Ye Ning and the others returned to the shelter.
Brother Longfei and the others had been waiting since they received the news.
"Brother Longfei! We're back!" Ye Ning was thrilled to finally be back in her familiar shelter.
"Miss Ye, Mr. Xiao, you're finally back." Although nothing much had happened during this time, he felt uneasy without Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen by his side.
"Wang Ma, you're back too. How was the helicopter ride?" Long Fei hadn't ridden in a helicopter in a long time.
Upon hearing the sound, Da Huang and Er Huang excitedly frolicked around Ye Ning.
Besides Dahuang and Erhuang, there are several other majestic sled dogs. These sled dogs were given to Brother Longfei to raise before the extreme cold began, and now they have all grown up and become Dahuang and Erhuang's little brothers.
"Brother Longfei, these dozen or so people are now in your care!" Ye Ning pointed to the dozen or so people getting off the helicopter.
“These people are all from the base. Train them as quickly as possible to adapt to the pace of this shelter, as well as the use of guns and crossbows.”
“No problem, Miss Ye!” Brother Long Fei agreed without hesitation.
I never expected that he, who has always been a loner, would now be in charge of so many people.
With these dozen or so people, the shelter should have enough staff. The next step is to make specific arrangements for them.
There are now nearly 40 people in the shelter, and both their daily meals and accommodations need to be rearranged.
Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen have always lived separately in the residential area.
Normally, Wang Ma and the others would cook the meals and then eat together in the conference room. Occasionally, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen would also join Brother Long Fei and the others.
Now that there are more people, Wang Ma definitely can't manage on her own, so Ye Ning plans to find Wang Ma a helper to set up a canteen.
We usually eat together, but we can also use points to order dishes separately.
As for accommodation, there are no permanent dormitories here; housing is allocated based on rank and seniority.
The group of superhumans who came this time were all quite strong, so Ye Ning directly asked Wang Ma to clean up more than a dozen apartments in the back of the living area.
"We're sleeping in such a nice room, complete with furniture! This is much better than the rooms we stayed in at the base before!"
"Yeah, that's right! I used to be afraid to breathe when I slept, because every breath I took smelled like stinky feet."
"I was sitting next to Zhang Gan, and his feet were absolutely stinky."
"What? You actually sat next to that kid? You're really lucky."
As for the workers who had been transferred from the base to help at the production base, Ye Ning also let them leave the temporary living area and move into apartments. They had been working diligently during this period, so it was good to give them a upgrade.
Ye Ning may transfer a few more people from the base to help Lei Siming later.
After a busy day, I finally got all the new people settled in.
Next, we need to intensify our training to prepare for the impending zombie frenzy.
These things were mostly handled by Brother Longfei and Uncle Yun, so Ye Ning was happy to have some free time and has been tinkering with making braised dishes these past few days.
First, you need to simmer a pot of stock using chicken and beef thigh bones over low heat until the broth turns milky white.
Next, you need to caramelize the sugar. Heat oil over low heat, add rock sugar, add water to dissolve, and then stir constantly until melted. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sugar turns a caramel reddish-brown color. This step is the most difficult for Ye Ning.
Add star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, cardamom, lemongrass, gardenia, dried tangerine peel, etc.
After adding these together, simmer carefully over low heat.
Because stewing the braising liquid is quite complicated, Ye Ning repeatedly failed, but she kept trying.
Of course, all the dishes that failed to be braised ended up benefiting the newcomers to the shelter.
Whole chickens, large chunks of beef, pork knuckle, dried tofu, and potatoes.
They can't usually get to eat so many oily and flavorful ingredients, so they enjoy it every day.
Although Ye Ning wasted pot after pot of food, at least she didn't waste any ingredients.
In just a few days, Ye Ning had become familiar with all the newcomers.
The main reason is that Ye Ning always brings a huge amount of food whenever she comes over.
"Sister Ye Ning, what did you bring this time?" A young man in his early twenties kept peeking and asking.
"Uh!" She felt that no one else cared whether her braised food was good or not.
What they care about is whether they can have meat to eat. These are all aftereffects of the extreme cold, as the previous extreme heat caused them some problems.
Overall, things are on the right track at the shelter.
Time passed day by day, and finally, the rampaging zombies would arrive in about three days.
The shelter also began its final preparations. Everyone sprang into action, first setting traps around the perimeter, and then adding another layer of electric fence.
Then Lei Siming's vegetable garden also needs to be fully harvested.
A group of people were working hard, and fortunately, with more manpower now available, they finally finished everything by nightfall.
"Alright! There shouldn't be any problems now!" Ye Ning stretched on the city wall, looking down at the dense defensive measures below, and finally felt at ease.
"Yeah! You've worked hard today too! Get some rest early tonight! I don't think the zombies will cause any major problems in the next day or two." Xiao Jingchen hugged Ye Ning from behind, saying with concern.
"I'll ask Aunt Wang to add two more dishes tonight. Everyone should get some rest early!" Ye Ning clapped her hands with a relaxed expression.
As the sun set, the two walked hand in hand down the watchtower.
"Everyone, stop what you're doing and let's go to the cafeteria for lunch. I asked Aunt Wang to add a few extra dishes today!"
In an instant, everyone cheered.
However, none of them noticed that while they were busy, someone disguised as a zombie secretly placed something outside the shelter.
This is also a superhuman, whose ability is to hide, and coincidentally, he was not discovered by Erhuang.
Night fell, and everyone was asleep, even the men patrolling the watchtower began to doze off.
At that moment, the machine the intruders had placed outside the wall suddenly started moving, and under the cover of darkness, it began to move slowly until it reached a hidden corner.
Meanwhile, Erhuang, who was fast asleep, twitched its ears slightly, raised its head, and carefully explored the surrounding sounds, but it couldn't hear anything, so it lowered its head and continued to sleep.
