After a while, Jian Yiqiu left the monitor and sat down at the long table.
"Everyone has been settled, and the supplies have been stored in the Black Tower's warehouse." Jian Yiqiu looked at Shao Jing: "How are people's moods?"
"It's alright. Although we were a little panicked at first, the environment below the Black Tower is much better than up there, and everyone gradually calmed down." Shao Jing's voice was a little hoarse.
He had been shouting for a while, and his throat had been choked by a lot of cold air.
In addition, I had torn the needle out of the back of my hand and run from the medical room, so I was in a state of barely holding on all morning.
Now that he's come to his senses, not only does his throat feel like it's been ground up with sand and gravel, but his whole body is also freezing cold. His head feels like it's been hit by several big men with sledgehammers, and the pain makes his eyes roll back.
"That's fine!"
To be honest, Jian Yiqiu wasn't feeling too well either, but as the de facto leader of the shelter, he couldn't rest right now.
"Cough cough~" The next second, Jian Yiqiu felt an itch in his chest and subconsciously coughed violently.
Xiao Jin was idly poking at the table with her finger when she saw the two of them. She sighed and then waved her hand, and several paper cups appeared on the table.
"Drink it!" Xiao Jin took out two of the cups and placed them in front of Jian Yiqiu and Shao Jing, then gestured for Gao Ya and the other two to divide the contents among themselves.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but Gao Ya and Deng Xing had already guessed it.
Whether it was collecting supplies outside or moving and transporting items later, Xiao Jin revealed that she possessed a huge storage space.
It's important to know that, aside from the initial discount where regular players can purchase a 5-square-meter storage space for 1000 points, any subsequent attempts to increase storage capacity will require purchasing it at the original price.
5 square meters equals 10,000 points, 50 square meters equals 500,000 points.
The area Xiao Jin has revealed so far is already countless times the size of 50 square meters, so it's safe to assume she didn't buy it from an online store.
As for why she has it, perhaps it's because of a serendipitous encounter in the game!
Gao Ya and the other woman didn't delve into such matters, after all, they were also beneficiaries in this world.
Thanks to Xiao Jin's enormous storage space, the shelter has been saved a lot of trouble, not to mention that there are hot drinks available now.
Therefore, they thanked Xiao Jin and took the paper cups.
Cheng Ce was the same; he would do whatever Mr. Xiao told him to do.
Ignoring Gao Ya and Deng Xing's thoughts, Xiao Jin reached out her hand to Jian Yiqiu.
Here, take it.
"Uh... thanks!" Jian Yiqiu accepted it without hesitation, a smile appearing on his lips.
He then opened the cup, but his smile instantly froze when he smelled what was inside.
hold head high?
What is this?
Jian Yiqiu hesitated and pointed: "For me?"
Xiao Jin nodded: "Yes."
"Are you sure you didn't take the wrong one?"
"No! You can drink it without worry!"
Jian Yiqiu pursed his lips, but in the end, he took the cup back.
Alright, ginger brown sugar it is. What's there to hesitate about when you have something hot to eat right now!
As the saying goes, the one who will stab you in the back is always your own brother.
Just after Jian Yiqiu drank the brown sugar water, Shao Jing suddenly exclaimed, "Wow, it's honey grapefruit tea! It's so sweet and delicious!"
Waaaaah~ Thank you so much, godfather, for saving my life.
"Pfft~ cough cough cough~"
"What are you talking about?" Jian Yiqiu turned to Shao Jing in astonishment.
Shao Jing was stunned for a moment: "Honey grapefruit tea! Aren't you one?!"
Jian Yiqiu turned around abruptly, only to meet Xiao Jin's gaze, which held a hint of amusement in his eyes. He was instantly filled with hatred, his teeth itching with rage.
That little rascal did it on purpose!
At the same time, everyone realized what was happening and, seeing Jian Yiqiu's expression, curiously looked at his cup.
Shao Jing even reached out his hand, but Jian Yiqiu slapped it away.
Gao Ya smiled and shook the paper cup in her hand at Shao Jing, but was actually looking at Jian Yiqiu.
“Oh dear, mine is different from yours. Since your throat is sore, Xiao Jin prepared honey grapefruit tea for you, but mine is hot cocoa.”
At this point, Gao Ya winked at Xiao Jin: "Thank you, little cutie, I love hot cocoa the most."
Xiao Jin remained silent, his face expressionless.
For some reason, after Gao Ya confirmed that Xiao Jin was not the kind of person who was difficult to communicate with, she became more and more unruly.
Seemingly knowing she wouldn't really get angry, he repeatedly teased her with his words.
Helpless, Xiao Jin could only express her protest with a blank expression.
Upon hearing this, everyone else in the conference room, except for Cheng Ce, was incredibly impressed.
Deng Xing kept his head down, his eyes almost plunging into the paper cup.
Neither Gao Ya nor Xiao Jin were within his control. Heaven knows how conflicted Deng Xing felt when he learned that the person who had fought alongside him in the underground supermarket was actually Xiao Jin.
Good news, I saw my idol! Bad news, my idol doesn't seem to be quite the same as I imagined.
In short, the sky has fallen!
Shao Jing, on the other hand, watched Jian Yiqiu with a wicked grin, thinking, "Jian Yiqiu, you're not so great either. Your old flame is being targeted. Why don't you make your move?"
Jian Yiqiu glared back angrily, "Go drink your tea!"
He then stole a glance at Xiao Jin, lowered his head, and held the ginger and brown sugar, lost in thought.
It must be said that after drinking this hot beverage, everyone's complexion improved considerably.
Although Shao Jing was still half-dead, he was finally able to continue the discussion.
“Currently, all three boilers are burning coal. The temperature in the residential area should rise in about an hour,” Jian Yiqiu said, checking the time.
Deng Xing: "There is plenty of coal stored, enough to last a year without any problem. But we need to be careful about the ventilation openings in the shelter, as burning coal will release toxic gases."
Shao Jing added, "Don't worry, I had someone check it. You can burn it as you like."
"Okay." Jian Yiqiu tapped the table. "Keep a close eye on things here afterward, make sure nothing goes wrong. What are your thoughts on the guard team?"
The following sentence is a question to Cheng Ce and Gao Ya.
Cheng Ce: "Brother Jian, I think everything should proceed as usual, but the scope can be narrowed down, from outside the wall to inside the wall."
"And those sentry posts on higher ground shouldn't be removed either."
At this moment, Gao Ya straightened up: "Excuse me, I have a suggestion."
Jian Yiqiu: "You go ahead."
Gao Ya and Deng Xing exchanged a glance: "I'll handle the personnel allocation for these four sentry posts. I'll find people to do it. The people we used before can just do regular patrols."
Jian Yiqiu and Cheng Ce exchanged a glance, seemingly having thought of something.
"Okay, then this one is yours!"
