"We still have to wait for a while for an artificial sun."
Xiao Chuxia told Jiang Fei and the others, "I heard from colleagues in the academy that although our country developed an artificial sun before the end of the world, it experienced various disasters and the data became incomplete."
"Plus, multiple experiments are required, and the research institute won't have results for at least a month."
As if remembering something, Xiao Chuxia took out a white medicine bottle and a small black bag the size of a palm from her pocket.
"I have good news. My department has developed a comprehensive nutritional medicine today."
"Taking one tablet a day can not only prevent calcium deficiency and protect the eyes, but also relieve fatigue, insomnia and other problems."
"The authorities will distribute it to residents next Monday. I brought back a bottle for you to try."
"There are 50 small tablets in a bottle, just 10 for each of us."
"I'll do it." Jiang Fei took out five transparent sealed bags and started packing the medicine.
"By the way, miss, this black bag contains the gold jewelry I exchanged with my colleague."
"They don't wear these jewellery anymore and they're gathering dust at home, so I bought them all in exchange for snacks."
"Put it in the supermarket and see how many grams it is."
Jiang Fei put the gold jewelry in the black bag.
[Ding—Gold detected: 96 grams]
Upon learning that there was not even a hundred grams of gold jewelry, Xiao Chuxia could not hide her disappointment:
"I thought it would be more than a hundred grams."
"There's too little gold in the base right now. Miss, are you still planning to continue unlocking the supermarket?"
Jiang Fei nodded, his eyes dimming: "It's a pity there is no gold."
"I asked Director Ning today, and he said there's no gold left in nearby cities. I'm thinking of going abroad again."
Su Liuyuan paused while picking up the food: "Captain, you can go to the North Pole."
"I've been to both polar regions. The Arctic is richer in mineral resources, including gold, coal, iron ore and other minerals."
“It’s just not clear what disaster there is.”
"But you have the supermarket to protect yourself, so the risk factor shouldn't be too great."
Jiang Fei was moved by Su Liuyuan's words.
Seeing that Jiang Fei wanted to go, Lu Yu fed her the peeled shrimp meat:
"Once I'm done with the rescue team, I'll map the plane's route and go with you."
As soon as the words fell, dong dong dong——
"Excuse me, is Su Liuyuan here?"
A gentle female voice came from outside the door.
Su Liuyuan got up and opened the door.
The girl standing at the door was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with short mushroom-shaped hair and delicate features.
"Xiaoyin? How did you find this place?"
"You filled out your address when you first joined the Ministry of Military Industry. I found it out by asking the staff. But I went to Room 201 and knocked on the door but no one answered, so I contacted your downstairs neighbor."
"The grandma at 101 told me that you might be at 102."
Yang Xiaoyin handed the bag she was carrying to Su Liuyuan: "Your bag was left at the Military Industry Department. Remember to check your things before leaving get off work next time."
"There are some buns I made in the bag. You can have them for breakfast tomorrow."
"I'm leaving. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, Yang Xiaoyin turned and left.
Su Liuyuan closed the door.
Xiao Chuxia immediately asked curiously, "Who is she?"
"My colleague Yang Xiaoyin is a nice person." Su Liuyuan said as he took out the things in the bag.
Noticing the love note on the lunch box, Xiao Chuxia took a look at it curiously.
It says—
[It must be heated before eating, and cannot be eaten cold.]
She instantly smiled like an aunt.
"Ordinary colleagues wouldn't use heart-shaped sticky notes, let alone give careful instructions."
"Does she like you?"
Su Liuyuan shook his head and denied it: "No, Xiaoyin is very nice to everyone."
"Yesterday, a colleague had a stomachache, and she was busy taking care of him."
No one noticed that Ling Zhaorui, one of the gossip trio, was unusually quiet tonight.
Looking at the heart-shaped sticky note on the lunch box, Ling Zhaorui felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Maybe his good brother is about to find a partner and he is jealous?
Suddenly, the base's broadcast was heard outside.
"Good evening, everyone. Officials will be holding a shrimp fishing competition in the East District at 8 a.m. this Saturday."
"In addition to generous prizes for the top ten, participants can also take home the prawns and crayfish they catch."
"Interested residents are encouraged to come to the East District at 7am on Saturday morning to participate. Officials will provide shrimp fishing equipment free of charge."
Xiao Chuxia was very excited: "I have never fished for shrimp in my life. Miss, shall we go together on Saturday?"
Jiang Fei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but we won't take the shrimp back."
She just gave it away today and doesn't want to take it back.
—
Saturday.
The rescue team has today off.
Jiang Fei and his four companions took Xu Qianyao's car to the East District.
The fishing competition will be held in Breeding Area 2 of the agricultural park, which has not yet been established.
There are five long tables at the entrance and exit.
There are staff to register the information of the contestants.
There is a sign on the ground next to it.
The rules of the shrimp fishing competition are written above.
The person who catches the most shrimps within an hour will be the champion.
The other nine will be chosen based on numbers.
The rewards are rice, beef, medicine, cooking oil and other supplies, as well as points.
Many residents of the base came and lined up to register consciously.
Jiang Fei, Lu Yu, and Xu Qianyao will not participate, they can enter directly.
Xiao Chuxia, Su Liuyuan, and Ling Zhaorui stayed at the entrance and exit to register.
For lighting purposes, searchlights were placed around each pond and an audience area was prepared.
Jiang Fei and the other two walked over.
Some residents recognized Jiang Fei and Xu Qianyao and greeted them excitedly.
"Captain Jiang, Captain Xu, I got some melon seeds. Come on, let's eat together."
"I have pears and peanuts here, please help yourself."
"Their food is not good. Captain Jiang and Captain Xu, you guys can eat mine. These are the red dates I bought this morning at the official store."
Jiang Fei and Xu Qianyao politely declined everyone's offer to feed them.
At eight o'clock sharp, the fishing competition started on time.
Using his pocket as cover, Jiang Fei took out a bag of beef jerky and a bag of five-spice melon seeds and gave them to Lu Yu and Xu Qianyao.
The three of them chatted idly and an hour passed quickly.
Official staff began to count the shrimp in each contestant's bucket.
Not long after, the rankings were announced.
Yang Xiaoyin, who went to my home yesterday, won first place and received 100 points and a bouquet of flowers as a prize.
Su Liuyuan came in third and Ling Zhaorui came in fourth. They both received a pound of fresh beef and ten pounds of white rice.
Xiao Chuxia was sixth and got a bag of fresh vegetables.
Jiang Fei was about to go over to congratulate his friends when he suddenly stopped.
