After Cang Yu finished his part, the two of them had some free time.
The potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes in the yard won't be ready for harvest for a few more days, so Lin Yue decided to go to the market every day to look for antiques and jewelry. She also asked Li Mazi to keep an eye out for these items and let her know if she found anything.
However, once everything is over, I still need to rest for a day.
In the morning, after practicing for three hours, Cang Yu and Lin Yue washed up and ate breakfast, then settled on the sofa to watch TV.
Previously, each person had their own iPad, but now the two of them watch it together, a result of Cang Yu's shameless efforts.
Lin Yue didn't say anything. She had promised him before that she would ask him to protect her after he came back. Although she didn't need his protection, she had promised. Now that he was back, it was as if their relationship had been confirmed, so it was normal for them to be intimate now.
"Lin Yue, thank you." Cang Yu said this suddenly as he was looking at the photos.
Lin Yue was puzzled and turned her head slightly to look at him.
"What are you thanking me for?" She couldn't recall doing anything special today that would make Cang Yu thank her!
"Thank you for showing up at the Qinglong Mountain base. Without you, my plan to kill Cen Shen might not have gone so smoothly." He had a plan, but with insufficient firepower, things could easily change.
However, because of Lin Yue's arrival, she used the space to help him a lot, which is why his movements were so easy.
He originally said that he would protect her when he returned, but now, apart from him being a military advisor and having some power, Lin Yue is the one helping him most of the time.
However, after careful consideration, he changed his mindset. If he really couldn't protect Lin Yue, then he would let Lin Yue protect him. Anyway, he would never let go. He would just be a freeloader, clinging tightly to Lin Yue's leg, and he would hold on tight, not giving her any chance to take him away.
Lin Yue was unaware that she had become Cang Yu's "golden thigh." After hearing his words, she turned back to watch TV and replied nonchalantly, "There's nothing to thank me for. I just happened to be going to take revenge. Besides, the grenades, hidden blades, and bombs were all given to me by you. Without them, I wouldn't have had such a smooth journey."
Her spatial ability was indeed a cheat tool, but without the weapons Cang Yu gave her, just waiting for the invisibility cloak to cool down would take a lot of time, and taking them down one by one would take forever.
Moreover, without Cang Yu's cooperation, it wouldn't have been so quick and easy. They would have spent much longer at the Azure Dragon Base. So, the two of them were helping each other out. She was just relying on the space to bring weapons without anyone noticing.
Of course, the space is her resource, a part of her, and she deserves Cang Yu's "thank you," but there's no need for such formalities.
"Okay! From now on, I'll be relying on you. You'd better take good care of your man." Cang Yu switched to his rogue mode.
"Weren't you supposed to protect me?" Lin Yue asked deliberately with a stern face.
"Yeah! That's what I thought before, but now I've realized that Yueyue is better than me, so I have no choice but to shamelessly ask Yueyue to take care of me."
Lin Yue was stunned for a moment when she heard the name "Yueyue", but she quickly recovered.
She was probably used to hearing Kongling call her that, so she didn't think there was much of a problem with it. It sounded alright to her, so she didn't worry about the way she was addressed.
"You're shameless, so shameless!" Lin Yue shook her head.
Does pretending for too long turn you into that kind of person?
“Yes! I think so too.” Cang Yu nodded seriously.
In the past, he definitely wouldn't have been able to bring himself to do it, but after pretending for so long recently, he suddenly realized that saving face didn't matter in front of Lin Yue. Why should he care about saving face in front of someone he liked?
"Ah! Oh my god, help!" She could handle Cang Yu's aloofness before, but now that he's like this, she feels she really can't take it anymore!
Since we can't handle it, let's change the subject.
"You arranged for all those people to stay at the Qinglong Mountain base. Is there some kind of plan behind this?" She didn't bring anyone back, only those who wanted to come. She didn't think Cang Yu didn't have some other plan.
"Yes, after the extreme cold passes, I plan to build a base in W City. In addition to the people I already have, others will be selected and trained to become the first batch of core members of the base. Later, they will go out to find survivors and bring them to W City. The infrastructure construction will provide jobs for those people to earn a living."
He did indeed have a plan, and it was quite well-developed. After all, this was something he had done in his previous life, only in a different place.
Lin Yue raised an eyebrow; she hadn't expected Cang Yu to have such great ambitions.
"Why did you decide to build a base?" That's what I was thinking, but I still want to ask.
“First, I built a base in my past life, so I’m very familiar with the process. Second, I said I would protect you, but no matter which base I’m in, I can’t be the top leader. Without being the top leader, how can I protect you with just my courage? But if it’s my own base, no matter what you do, I can protect you and let you be free.”
After his rebirth, he didn't intend to build a base anymore. He just wanted to get rid of Cen Shen and then find a place to live a carefree life. He never expected to meet Lin Yue.
However, although the base was built to better protect Lin Yue, it wasn't actually built for Lin Yue's sake, but for his own. He had to find a way to keep his word, otherwise how could he win her over?
"For me?" Lin Yue didn't know what Cang Yu was thinking, but she felt that this reason put a lot of pressure on her.
"It's not for you, it's for myself. Don't overthink it. Men do things for themselves, not for women. I can't just stop doing anything without you."
"Okay!" Lin Yue nodded.
If Cang Yu really said he wanted to build the base for her sake, then his plan to "protect" her would immediately fall through. She couldn't bear such a heavy burden.
"That's a good idea. Where will you get your supplies?" Lin Yue continued to ask.
When Yuquan Base predicted the coming of the apocalyptic natural disaster, it had already cleared out most of the supplies around W City and H City, so there should be no usable supplies left near the two cities.
Moreover, the supplies are buried deep under the ice, making them quite difficult to retrieve.
"Yes, there are still some untouched granaries in remote areas. These are private granaries that even the government doesn't know about. As for clothing and other daily necessities, we can find some small workshops. Those items are still buried. We just need to get them out before the extreme heat. For other large items, we have research and development teams. As long as we can find the materials, we can make them."
There are many other things that can be obtained through various means. Where there's a will, there's a way. If he wants something, he can always find a way. Besides, with his experience from his previous life, he knows exactly where to find resources.
Although the novels Lin Yue read all talked about the butterfly effect after rebirth, and it does happen, the general direction is correct. It's unlikely that everything will be gone, except for one or two places where things might be gone.
Therefore, the resources needed to sustain a base are abundant and plentiful.
