Chapter 433 The Calm Before the Storm
As soon as the car stopped, I received a call from Gu Yuanping.
"Have you entered the base? Do you remember where my house is?"
Gu Yuanping asked directly after the call was connected.
"Remember, we're going there now."
After the earthquake, when Han Ying and Lu Yuan took the dog to participate in the rescue, they went to Gu Yuanping's house to rest for a day.
It just happened a few months ago, so of course I won't forget the location.
After finding a place to park, the two took off their protective clothing and put on masks before getting out of the car.
Soon they arrived at Gu Yuanping's house. After knocking on the door, it was Gu Yuanping who opened it.
"Long time no see."
A big smile appeared on Gu Yuanping's face.
When Han Ying and Lu Yuan left Pengcheng Base, Gu Yuanping lamented that he didn't know when they would meet again.
Because at that time Gu Yuanping was not sure whether Lu Yuan and his team could reach Jiangcheng safely with 100%.
Also, he knew that he had to stay at Pengcheng Base until the last batch of people migrated.
I didn't expect that we would meet again just a few months later.
And before they even met, the two of them had already done the base a great favor.
Otherwise, Gu Yuanping didn’t know how long he would have to deal with those people.
"It's been quite a while. Have those people been rescued?"
Lu Yuan replied along with Gu Yuanping's words.
After entering the house, the two found that Gu Yuanping's house was empty. It was obvious that his family had also moved to Jiangcheng.
"They were rescued. Among the hundreds of elderly people and children, a few accepted bribes from those people, so they colluded with them."
"Those five people are all dead. It has been confirmed that the other accomplices were indeed infected with the Hundred Illusion Bugs."
Gu Yuanping told the two of them the general situation, after all, they were involved.
However, he did not say how to deal with the more than 20 people infected with the Hundred Illusion Bugs.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan also heard that Gu Yuanping did not intend to bring it up, so they did not continue to ask.
But there are only two possible outcomes for the treatment of those twenty or so people who are not considered human beings.
One is to kill them directly, since they are no longer human beings anyway.
Another situation is that they are treated as free labor and their value is squeezed out.
It's none of their business whichever the case is.
"Why did you suddenly return to Pengcheng?"
After thinking about it, Gu Yuanping asked.
"Before Lu Zhengan died, he hid something for me. Come back and get it."
This excuse was decided after the two of them discussed it. It was a precautionary measure so that if their helicopter was discovered one day, they would have an explanation.
After hearing this, Gu Yuanping nodded and did not ask any more questions. After all, it was someone else's secret.
Then the three of them talked about some things in Jiangcheng and Pengcheng. Han Ying also told Gu Yuanping about their discovery of a strange plant.
He said he wanted to take one to the base research institute for study, but was rejected by Gu Yuanping.
Gu Yuanping meant that they could give it to Professor Li when they arrived in Jiangcheng, because most of the researchers at the Pengcheng Base had also been transferred to Jiangcheng.
The rest will be moved there soon.
After hearing the result, the two didn't say anything because it was expected.
It seems that the Pengcheng base will be left for those who are unwilling or unable to move.
And the officials should also leave completely.
Although Gu Yuanping did not say it explicitly, the two of them still guessed what he meant.
As for whether they will come back to take over again in the future, that depends on what the world will be like.
Gu Yuanping invited the two to have dinner together, but Han Ying refused.
They said the temperature would drop at night and they wanted to get back to Jiangcheng as soon as possible.
The reason was good, and Gu Yuanping did not force it.
Without staying long at the Pengcheng base, the two left quickly.
They drove the car a long way before finding an empty building, going upstairs and taking out the helicopter.
I disinfected my entire body before getting on the helicopter.
After going up, he did not start immediately, but went into the space to eat first.
Since leaving Jiangcheng until now, the two of them have only eaten something casually in the car and have never had a proper meal.
I'm already starving now.
After eating, he left the space again, started the helicopter and headed back to Jiangcheng.
It was very fast and in less than half an hour we reached the rooftop of the building we had left before.
Go downstairs, change into the RV, and then drive back to Hongmei Village.
Hearing the horn of the RV downstairs, several people on the second floor came out.
Han Ying and her friends had been gone for almost a day. If they hadn't received a message saying they would be back later, they would have been extremely worried.
They didn't talk much because Han Ying and Lu Yuan were exhausted and wanted to go back to sleep.
They had slept for just over two hours the day before, and after waking up after learning about the drop in temperature, they did not go back to sleep.
Now I am really tired.
Lei Minghu and the others were relieved when they saw that both of them were fine.
Seeing the two tired people, he urged them to go back and rest.
I went up to the third floor, entered the space and took a quick shower, then came out to sleep.
I was worried that the temperature would drop again when I fell asleep, so I remembered to plug in the radiator before going to bed.
The electric blanket was not turned on, but there was a thick blanket underneath, and a thick down quilt and a warm lambswool quilt cover on top.
Even if the temperature continued to drop while they were sleeping, the two of them were not worried about getting cold.
However, an alarm thermometer is still placed inside and outside the room, just in case.
After waking up, Han Ying felt her throat a little dry. Then she remembered that she forgot to put a humidifier in the room before going to bed.
Before washing up, we took out a cup of warm water from the space and each drank half of it, and then we felt a little better.
I first looked at the thermometer placed outside, and it was still 9 degrees.
This left the two of them a little confused.
For two consecutive days, the temperature remained at 9 degrees without any change.
Despite this, neither of them dared to relax, and they even paid more attention to the weather.
Because the two wondered if this would be the calm before the storm.
People with a sense of crisis are always prepared for a sudden drop in temperature even though they see that the temperature has not changed.
But there are also some carefree people who, seeing the temperature remain at a comfortable 9 degrees, think that the world is about to return to normal.
Today, Han Ying and Lu Yuan plan to go to Professor Li's place and take a piece of the mutant seafood mushroom to the research institute at the base for research.
After all, the effects of each mutated plant are different, and the two of them have not yet discovered what the effects of this mutated seafood mushroom are.
The two have confirmed that the deep red seafood mushroom is the mutated seafood mushroom.
Because at night, Han Ying took it out and found that it was emitting a soft light all over.
Han Ying also discovered something else: this mutated seafood mushroom grew very fast.
It was just a small clump yesterday, but after just one day, it filled one-third of the flowerpot.
The size has only grown a little bit, but a lot of plants have been produced.
