Chapter 155 Return to Base
The two people who had been out of contact for a long time returned to the base and were warmly welcomed.
Although they knew that the two of them were very strong and nothing would happen to them, the others were relieved only when they saw the real person come back safe and sound.
After Gu Chao and Lu Ming learned about the general situation of the base, they were also a little surprised.
"There's no snowstorm? The temperature has been -40 degrees Celsius?" Lu Ming repeatedly asked Lin Cong, who nodded continuously, "Yes, yes, Xiaolu, what's wrong with you? Are you suffering from Alzheimer's? I've told you three times."
Just as he finished speaking, he was hit by a hammer on the left side and a palm on the right side, and then ran away crying.
Damn, these two people not only abused the dog, but also beat it. It’s too much!
The remaining two people looked at each other and realized that something might have gone wrong there.
But since they couldn't figure it out, they just put it out of their minds.
The survivors at the base had enough food and warm clothes. Except for occasional work, they basically did not go out and stayed indoors to keep warm.
The newly established central hospital would also visit the homes of sick people every day to see patients, and those with serious conditions would receive free treatment. So after more than half a month, there were no casualties.
After Lu Ming came back, she suddenly fell into confusion. She didn't have to go out to search for supplies, there was no suitable work for her in the base, and the zombies were buried under the snow. She couldn't even find zombies to practice on, and the people who could accompany her were busy every day, so apart from cooking and playing with the two little animals, she actually had nothing to do.
Even Dr. Wen became the director of the central hospital and was extremely busy every day, while Professor Qin established the base research institute and began to study various cutting-edge things.
Following Lu Ming's suggestion, they did not research vaccines, but first studied how to safely extract the energy in the crystal and then smoothly import it into weapons, making it an energy weapon like her dagger.
So she reluctantly gave them two daggers worth 20 gold coins to "dismember" the body.
Then there was her strengthening spring.
Unfortunately, after analyzing it for a long time, the conclusion was that the ingredients inside were no different from ordinary water.
But they developed a circulating water system. After Lu Ming filled the pool with lake water in the space, it was first supplied to the survivors. The domestic wastewater after use could be reused, which greatly reduced the waste of water resources other than drinking water. Lu Ming also changed from replenishing the reservoir once a day to once a week.
Then there's the food aspect.
Due to the emergence of mutated plants and animals, one of the projects is to study the edibility of these organisms; while the other project is to breed and cultivate non-mutated plants and animals.
In fact, as long as there is water, we only need to expand the types of plants that can be grown without soil. Therefore, this project is currently progressing the fastest and is almost completed. Although the nutritional value of the first phase of the finished product is not high and it does not look good, with this excuse, Lu Ming can safely provide some fresh vegetables and fruits to the base in the future without arousing suspicion.
At noon that day, Lu Ming put the prepared food into the space and went to the central building to have lunch with Gu Chao.
Although there is a cafeteria in the building, it is all a big pot of rice and there is nothing delicious, so she often cooks for him. If anyone comes to see him at this time, it will be a treat. Since he was promoted to the sixth level, Gu Chao's appetite is amazing, so she always cooks a lot every time, so basically everyone can have a share.
Lu Ming tiptoed to quietly open the office door and peeked in to see what he was doing. He looked up and saw, "Hey, where's he?"
She looked around and didn't see him, which was a bit strange. Every time she came, he was either watching the images sent by the ground reconnaissance system or analyzing the situations in other cities and bases. She had never seen him go out.
She turned to look at the corridor and saw no one outside. Scratching her head, she decided to go in and wait for him.
However, as soon as she walked in, someone hugged her slender waist from behind.
"Ah!" Lu Ming exclaimed, then smelled the familiar cold scent of the man and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hate it! You scared me." She snorted with a smile and slapped the big hand on her waist hard.
A low laugh came from behind her. The man kissed her ear, then picked her up and spun her around. Lu Ming laughed and screamed softly.
After closing the door, Gu Chao put her down and kissed her soft lips. "Why did you come so late? I'm starving."
"I'm just worried you're in a meeting. It's your fault that every meeting lasts so late." Lu Ming pouted and scolded him. He touched his nose and said, "Okay, it's my fault."
The two of them sat down in the rest area together. Lu Ming brought out the food and set the entire table.
"Do you have to be so exaggerated? I feel like a glutton." Gu Chao was amused and said as he took the chopsticks and bowl.
Lu Ming tapped his forehead with his finger and said with a sly smile, "That's you, a big glutton."
We had steak, hamburger and pasta last night, so we changed to Chinese food today. We had roast duck wraps, Beijing-style shredded pork, braised lamb, hand-shredded lotus root, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and pork ribs and winter melon soup. They were all made by Lu Ming himself and tasted very good.
No one made it to dinner today, so they ate by themselves. The two of them finished their meal and leaned back on the sofa to rest.
Luming stretched and sighed, "When will the ice and snow period end? I'm almost growing mushrooms."
The person next to her held her and sat her sideways on his lap, and asked, "Are you bored?"
Lu Ming nodded heavily and knocked his chin against his shoulder. "There are no zombies left to kill. I think my knife is getting rusty."
Gu Chao played with her hair and pondered for a moment, "There is a position that should be suitable for you."
Her big almond eyes lit up immediately, "What what?"
"Close combat instructor, are you willing?"
"Yes, yes, can I?" Lu Ming nodded wildly.
"Of course, you are my last disciple, and you have killed more zombies than almost anyone else. If you can't do it, then no one else is qualified. Xiaoyue and Aze are also in that training class now, so you can keep each other company."
"That's great. Hey, why didn't you tell me about this good thing earlier!" Lu Ming was happy at first, then he grabbed his face and asked angrily.
Gu Chao held her hand, took it down and kissed it, then sighed: "There are so many men there, of course I am afraid that the treasure I have hidden will be discovered by others."
Lu Ming felt sweet in his heart and raised his little head: "Okay, since you corrected yourself early, I will reward you!" After that, he gently kissed Gu Chao's lips.
Then she playfully teased his lips with her tongue. Just as she was about to move away, he held her tightly and kissed her back deeply and passionately.
However, after a moment, she raised her head and asked in confusion, "Are you carrying something?" and reached out to grab something on her thigh with her little hand.
"Hmm..." Gu Chao groaned in excitement at her sudden attack. His eyes became deeper. He grabbed the little hand that lit the fire, hugged her waist tightly, and kissed her hard again. His breathing became disordered.
Lu Ming also realized something belatedly, his face turned red, and his hands and feet became stiff.
