Chapter 220 Private Base Sabotage
"A private base sent people to cause sabotage? Are they crazy?"
The underground city concerns the life of the entire floating city. Maybe one day in the future, private bases will try their best to take refuge in the underground city.
Xia Xiaoman really couldn't understand whether the manager of the private base had his head caught in the door, otherwise how could he do such a thing?
Sun Haiyun took a sip of water to moisten his throat. "The private base was forced into a corner, so they did this."
"After the cold wave, the authorities received reliable information that the sun can now be seen over the Shark Sea. According to the current prediction of the rotation speed of the blue planet, perhaps in a few months, we will be able to see the sun again."
"The higher-ups are worried that the temperature will rise suddenly when the sun comes out. By then, many of the supplies needed for the extreme cold and the crops grown will be left in their hands. So we want to sell these supplies as soon as possible before the extreme cold passes, and harvest as many crops as possible and replace them with some ordinary crops."
The private base has been collecting and storing supplies for extreme cold weather since its establishment. Now that the extreme cold is about to pass, the authorities plan to wipe out the private base, sell off the supplies inside, and exchange them for other more useful supplies.
Another reason is that people are worried that those who are deceived into going to private bases will die from overwork if they continue to work like this every day.
But someone leaked the news, and when the authorities sent people to encircle the private base, the private base blocked all the people who were deceived into entering at the door. If you wanted to force your way into the base, you would accidentally hurt the hostages blocking the door.
The private base threatened to take hostages, which caused the encirclement troops to be restrained and afraid to fight, and they failed to capture the private base in one fell swoop.
"It may be that the siege of the private base gave them a sense of crisis. In order to prevent the people above from coming to siege them again, they resorted to a dirty trick and blew up the newly dug underground city."
There was a gas station next to the site where the underground city was built. The oil tanks buried before the disaster were well preserved. The officials had planned to use the gasoline in the tanks to dig the underground city, but they were set on fire by the people in the private base before they could use them.
This explosion brought great damage to the floating city. Not only was the newly dug underground city gone, but two large oil tanks were also lost, and hundreds of people were killed or injured.
"The official and private bases are now at loggerheads. The private bases often send people out to gather information or cause small riots. You'd better not run around during this period, lest you get caught in the crossfire."
"Also, if you have anything you don't need, you should sell it as soon as possible, especially the supplies related to extreme cold. Judging from the recent weather, the extreme cold will not last for a few months. Those supplies that can only be used in extreme cold will soon become worthless."
Xia Xiaoman nodded when he heard this, "I came out this time just to come up with a batch of things that I can't use."
After thinking for a while, she said, "Do you want a snowmobile? I can sell you one at the lowest price. If you don't want it, I will sell all of them to the trading point."
"Snowmobile?" Sun Haiyun frowned and thought for a while. "I'll go to your house at 7 o'clock in the evening. If you have a generator or battery, I'll see if I can convert it into a pedal generator. Maybe it can be used in the future."
"Come and take a look at it in the evening! If you think it can be used, I will sell it to you. After you have modified it, you can decide whether to keep it for yourself or sell it." She had no shortage of generators or supplies, and was too lazy to resell them.
Sun Haiyun nodded, "Okay, I'll go there around seven in the evening."
Xia Xiaoman responded, "By the way, have you heard any news about Wang Shijin recently? How is he doing?"
"No, he joined the army. It's hard to see him unless he's on leave." Sun Haiyun paused, then continued, "But I heard that after the recruit training, they were all taken to dig underground cities. I don't know if he was injured yesterday."
Xia Xiaoman was silent for a while, then said, "He's very lucky. He was able to come back from going to the capital, so he will be fine this time."
Sun Haiyun didn't say anything. The landslide last night was so loud and so many people died. Who knows if Wang Shijin was among them?
…
After leaving Sun Haiyun, Xia Xiaoman went to the trading point.
Although the extreme cold was about to end, she still exchanged all the steel-toothed rabbits for two rabbit-skin blankets.
The end of the extreme cold does not mean that it will disappear forever. If the blue planet continues to rotate at this slow speed, then perhaps in half a year or a year, the extreme cold will appear again.
While the price of rabbit fur blankets is not high now, she stocked up on two. In case extremely cold weather comes again in the future, she won’t have to worry about getting rabbit fur blankets.
Carrying two blankets, Xia Xiaoman climbed out of the sewer and walked quickly home.
When she reached a corner, she suddenly stopped and looked back. Seeing that there was no one behind her, Xia Xiaoman's face darkened and she quickened her pace to go home.
After climbing over the wall and returning home, Xia Xiaoman closed the door and quickly ran upstairs, quietly opened a window and looked outside.
Sure enough, in less than five minutes, a man approached the yard stealthily.
The man stood in the yard and looked around for a while. Seeing that there was no one around, he put what he was holding on the ground, then took out a few hard objects and smashed them against the gate of the yard.
After hitting it three or four times, Maodan couldn't help but make a warning sound.
The man heard the noise coming from inside the house, gritted his teeth and ruthlessly grabbed the package on the ground, then turned around and ran away in panic.
The baby lying in the bundle on the ground was pinched and started crying loudly.
When Maodan heard the crying of a child, he mistakenly thought that a bad guy was provoking him. He paced back and forth anxiously, wanting to go out to see what monster was making the noise.
When Xia Xiaoman heard the crying, she realized something was wrong. She quickly went downstairs and climbed over the wall, but the person who left the child behind was nowhere to be seen.
Xia Xiaoman frowned and picked up the baby on the ground. The baby lay on the ground for a while, and his little face turned pale from the cold.
There was a piece of paper on the child's chest. Xia Xiaoman held the baby in one hand and opened the note with the other. The content was concise and to the point, saying that the child's mother died of childbirth complications and the father could not afford to raise the child. Seeing that she still had some spare money to buy two rabbit fur blankets, he gave the child to her to raise.
Xia Xiaoman was completely speechless. She had seen people robbing others because they hated the rich, but she had never seen people sending their children away because they hated the rich.
How can she raise a baby who is not even a month old? This is too much for her!
