Chapter 42 News about the National Base



"Okay, I'll put it away for you after we finish eating. Oh, and you can have half of the supplies from the trade building?"

Strictly speaking, it was Cang Yu who saved her at the trade building. Without Cang Yu, she wouldn't have been able to acquire those supplies so easily.

Even if they split it in half, Cang Yu would still be at a disadvantage, but considering that she had at least used her spatial ability, taking half wouldn't be a problem.

"Just a little bit is fine, you keep more for yourself, Canglang and I have big appetites. You keep the guns, but if you find any extra submachine guns, you can give me one, plus some bullets."

When he saw Lin Yue, she wasn't holding a gun, but the bullets lying on the ground intrigued him; he had never seen them before.

"What did you do before?" Lin Yue suddenly asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice.

"M, a Chinese citizen, who sells arms, just acquired citizenship of this land on June 14th, but it seems that it doesn't make much of a difference now."

Lin Yue nodded.

No wonder I could tell what kind of gun she was using even without seeing it; she's an arms dealer, very skilled in the business.

She shoveled another mouthful of rice, put down her bowl, and searched her spatial dimension. Six large boxes of bullets and two pairs of matching snow blindness goggles were spat out from the dimension's mouth.

She was speechless.

He took out another submachine gun and placed it on the table, followed by three large boxes of ammunition, and finally a pair of men's snow blindness goggles.

Cang Yu's gaze, which had been drawn to the submachine gun, was instantly drawn to the snow blinding goggles. He asked in a serious tone, "Buy one get one free?"

Lin Yue nodded without any hesitation: "Yes."

Anyway, no one can enter the space without her permission, so she can say whatever she wants.

After finishing her meal, she took out a packet of spicy beef cubes and tossed it to Cang Yu. After a moment's thought, she said, "Before I leave here, I need to learn all your skills."

Whether she can understand it or not is another matter. First, she has to learn it and get in touch with it, even if she only learns the basics.

“Okay, but the food has to be cooked by you.” The restaurant food always tastes a bit off; her braised pork and stewed beef brisket are still the best. “We go out once every five days for practical training.”

It's really just about finding an opportunity to go out and cook.

"Okay!" Anyway, she still had some left over from what she had cooked before. After she finished eating, she could just go outside and find a secluded spot to cook some more and store it. It would just take a little more time. She was quite happy that someone appreciated her cooking skills.

"Also, starting today, all your time except for eating and sleeping will be used for training. You need to be prepared."

Be prepared to endure hardship and experience backaches and pains.

"Yes!" Lin Yue said confidently.

After finishing the beef cubes, Cang Yu asked Lin Yue for another bag, and then the two of them decorated his house together and started practicing.

Lin Yue had always thought that the previous intensity was already quite high, but she didn't expect that it was just child's play compared to now. Sure enough, her previous skills were just amateurish.

...

After the ninth floor was dealt with, no one dared to go up to the tenth floor to cause trouble. Even if they were away for a day or two, no one dared to go up and cause trouble.

Cang Yu said that he strictly adhered to the rule of going out for field practice every five days. However, the field practice only lasted for half a day, and the other half was used to cook rice and vegetables. Several large pots were used at the same time to cook a week's worth of food at a time, with Cang Yu assisting.

At 4 p.m. on July 20, six military trucks arrived outside the residential area, and then several soldiers used loudspeakers to make announcements in several places within the residential area.

"The national base has been completed. Those who wish to live at the base, please pack your things immediately, go outside the community to pick up food and get on the bus. We will depart directly in two hours. Those who do not wish to go can also come out and pick up a food."

"The national base has been completed. Those who wish to live at the base, please pack your belongings immediately, collect your food outside the community, and get on the bus. We will depart directly in two hours. Those who do not wish to leave can also come out and collect a food."

...

The words echoed throughout the neighborhood, and the surviving residents rushed to their windows to look down, wondering if it was true.

Upon seeing the soldiers in their overcoats below, she instantly broke down, tears streaming down her face, her hands trembling as she quickly gathered her belongings.

Some people had burned everything they could to keep warm, and they had run out of food, so they ran downstairs and headed straight for that patch of green that represented hope.

Soon, a large crowd gathered below, all heading towards the gate.

Lin Yue and Cang Yu are practicing grappling techniques and life-or-death combat skills with mercenaries.

She truly hadn't expected that Cang Yu was actually a mercenary.

"When will you leave once the national base is completed?" Looking at the sparse crowd below, Lin Yue tilted her head and asked, "Also, when do you think would be a good time for me to go to the national base?"

The two of them had been practicing for half a month. Lin Yue had learned most of Cang Yu's skillful, almost rote teaching methods, but she really only had a superficial understanding.

"No rush. What's built now is just the public area. If you want better living conditions, you'll have to wait."

The so-called common area is actually a collective living area similar to a warehouse, or at best, a large dormitory-style dormitory, and there are no independent houses.

"Why doesn't the government just use the existing housing?" Lin Yue asked, puzzled.

“Except for high-end residential areas and villa districts, most of the existing housing is built with shoddy construction. Normally, it’s a sturdy building without natural disasters, but if an earthquake or flood occurs, not many buildings can withstand it. The country also needs to plan for the long term.”

This extreme cold has only lasted for a little over a month, and one-third of the population across the country has already succumbed to it. The more we wait, the more people will succumb. The country will do its best to save as many people as possible, where conditions permit.

“Let’s go down and get some food too,” Lin Yue suddenly said.

They haven't gone out for four days, so it's time to show them how hard it is to survive. They should accept the free food, but not too much.

"Um!"

The two waited for a while before going down to get their food.

The area outside the residential compound was in a mess. Some people whose children had gone out to find supplies during the day and hadn't returned yet were pulling at the soldiers and asking, "Comrades, my son went out to find food and hasn't come back yet. Can we wait for him to come back before we leave?"

"Sir, our orders are to depart promptly at six o'clock, without a minute's delay," the soldier replied helplessly.

There are many similar cases; families with members who have gone out all look worried.

There were also shameless people who wanted to get an extra portion of food: "What's wrong with giving me an extra portion? You soldiers are supposed to serve the people. This little bit of food is not enough to fill you up. Give me an extra portion."

"Comrade, each person can only receive one portion; that's the rule," the soldier distributing the food replied.

When the man saw that he wouldn't be given the money, he tried to snatch it himself, but was then taken away by soldiers maintaining order.

"The soldiers are beating people! The soldiers are beating people!" shouted the person who wanted an extra portion.

Various events continued to unfold, and by the time it was Lin Yue's turn, forty minutes had passed.
