Chapter 641 Clearing the Snow
Shen Yanming took the key to open the door, and in the dim light, he saw his wife sleeping on the sofa.
He closed the door quietly, but the slight noise of the door opening still woke up Bi Qiaoan who was sleeping uneasily.
"You're back!" Bi Qiaoan stood up in a daze.
"Well, why haven't you slept yet?" Shen Yanming put the umbrella and flashlight on the cabinet at the door, took off his down jacket, and put the ice lumps in his pocket into the space.
He was not sure whether the ice lumps would sublime in space, so he put most of them into an empty oil barrel, leaving only two or three outside.
Then he couldn't help but laugh at himself. Since the supplies in the storage area would not change, then this lump of ice would most likely not change. Why did he suddenly become so cautious?
Perhaps, it is because they are alien objects that have never been seen before?
Shen Yanming briefly told Bi Qiaoan about what happened tonight, then took out one of the ice lumps and handed it to Bi Qiaoan, "Put it in the planting area and see if there are any changes."
After all the talk, I still thought of energy rain, hoping that this unusual ice lump could bring them surprises.
As a result, the ice lump disappeared, and the piece of grass where it was placed remained unchanged except for a little frostbite.
The couple couldn’t say whether they were disappointed or not. After all, magical things like energy rain are hard to come by.
"Well, didn't you say you were going out to clear the snow? Go back to your bedroom and get some sleep."
Shen Yanming nodded and pulled his wife back to the bedroom: "I don't know when I will be back. Take care of yourself at home and don't worry about me."
Bi Qiaoan was silent for a moment before he said, "I want to go out and pick up some ice lumps. Don't worry, I won't go far. I'll pick them up at the guard station. I won't stay for long. I'll pick up a bag and then go home to rest for half an hour or an hour. It won't affect my health."
To be honest, Shen Yanming didn't want his wife to go out and suffer, but he also knew that she was not someone who would easily compromise.
There was no other choice but to use his trump card: "What about the baby?"
Bi Qiaoan hesitated for a moment and said, "I will wait until they fall asleep before going out. When they are awake, I will stay at home with them."
Chen Yanming held Bi Qiaoan's hand tightly and said, "Put the two treasures in the space when you go out, otherwise I will be worried. Don't worry, they will remember. An'an and Nuan'an are still young, we have enough time to teach them." Or, let them forget.
"Okay!" Bi Qiaoan nodded.
Chen Yanming sighed faintly: "To be honest, I really don't want you to go out and suffer. It would be better if I were alone outside."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "I am just greedy. I want to save some ice cubes while no one else is taking action."
“Not sure if it’s worth it yet.”
"Then consider it as a contribution to saving the planet. After all, not many people are as blessed as us to have the space to store so much."
"Okay, as long as you're happy, but take it easy and don't let yourself get tired or cold."
Bi Qiaoan looked up at Shen Yanming and said, "I should be the one saying this to you. You should take good care of yourself when you follow the main force. I am relatively free when I move alone, so I will definitely not be too harsh on myself."
Shen Yanming smiled and kissed the corner of her lips: "Okay, I get it, go to sleep."
Bi Qiaoan closed her eyes obediently, but within two minutes, she opened them again: "Husband, take a bag of ginger slices with you when you go on the mission tomorrow. If there are logistics personnel following you, let them make ginger soup. If not, just put a piece of ginger in your mouth."
Shen Yanming nodded: "Okay. If you don't want to go out, just prepare some cold-repelling medicine and frostbite cream at home. I'm afraid the guards who are out on missions will need it."
After all, it's minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius outside.
"Yeah, I understand." Bi Qiaoan said in a sullen tone.
The two fell asleep quickly, but not long after, they heard the guards gathering.
Shen Yanming woke up with a start, patted his wife and asked her to continue sleeping. Then he got up from the bed, ate something casually, changed his clothes, took his equipment and went out.
The snow never stopped falling, and neither did the ice.
After one night, the snow was already 50 to 60 centimeters deep. Shen Yanming tied his trousers tightly and trudged through the snow towards the playground.
The few big guys I met in the early morning were all there, standing at the front of the team with dark circles under their eyes.
Shen Yanming found his position and stood in, then the teams were assigned snow-clearing areas.
They were a group of people who changed their jobs halfway, and were assigned to the area closest to the guards. The bosses were afraid that they would not be able to hold on, and would be frozen or something. So they were assigned here, close to them, and could be rescued in time.
In addition, each guard on a mission was given a helmet and asked to turn on their smart bracelet to ensure the safety of the team members as much as possible.
"Our mission this time is not only to clear the snow from the main roads in the city, but also to collect the ice that falls from the sky. If the public asks us questions, we must explain it clearly to them and ask them to join us so that we can control the temperature drop in the shortest possible time.
I hope you can protect yourself while completing your mission. If you encounter people in need, lend a helping hand as much as possible. "Officer Wen said at the front of the team.
"Yes!" everyone answered in unison.
"Now, each team leader will set off with their own team and equipment."
Before leaving, Shen Yanming handed the ginger slices in his backpack to Li Gangtie. Li Gangtie took it with a smile, turned around, and ran to the logistics department.
Ginger soup and rice porridge were boiled there all day long today, so that every guard who came back to rest could have something hot to eat to relieve the coldness in their bodies.
Shen Yanming waited for Li Gangtie to come back before following the main force towards the mission site.
On the way, Li Gangtie asked Shen Yanming: "Why do you have so many ginger slices?"
"We planted a lot before, but they were all dried up. They came in handy when we were receiving people from Beiha City two years ago." Shen Yanming answered without any guilt.
Li Gangtie nodded and didn't pursue the matter any further.
After leaving the escort team, everyone started to move.
Even though we have entered the age of technological civilization, when faced with accumulated snow, we still use the most primitive method of clearing it.
There is no way, they have to consider the environment. Now that thing is too fragile to withstand any changes.
They didn't dare to spread snow-melting agents or salt. They could only rely on snow-clearing vehicles to clear the way while they worked behind with shovels.
The thickness of the snow affected the speed to some extent, but no one complained of being tired, and they pushed the snow on the road to the sides little by little.
Then, we had to quickly dig out the ice lumps from the snow.
Of course, this shoveling required some skill. But no matter how skilled you were, ice lumps continued to fall from the sky. Even if there were more of them, they couldn't pick them all up.
