Despite the difficulty of receiving potatoes, they excitedly showed Bai Shuang what they had received.
The government's actions gave them renewed hope for survival; despite the devastating natural disaster, the government never abandoned its people.
Although each person only gets two ounces, the number will increase as they reproduce.
In addition, they brought another piece of good news: the government has started recruiting. There are two jobs available for now. One is a security patrol team, which requires strong and capable people with martial arts skills. Each person will receive 15 jin of grain per month, and one meal will be provided during the work period.
Another job was the corpse-moving team, which transported the scattered corpses to one place for unified incineration to prevent the growth of bacteria and viruses and the formation of plagues.
They also provide one working meal and ten kilograms of grain per person per month.
In Building C, Liu Zhongyi and a few other capable fighters applied for jobs in the security team, while Wang Xiu's husband and son, Xiao Sen, applied for jobs in the corpse-moving team.
The three of them and the dog returned home, and Bai Shuang asked them with a smile, "Didn't you eat enough at the research institute?"
The snow leopard was the first to leap up and wag its tail at her, as if to say, "I'm not full, I'm not full."
Bai Chang: "I'm full. The food at the research institute today was pretty good. I wonder how many people are still hungry."
Bai Shuang nodded. "It's good to know what's going on outside."
Bai Jiu probably hadn't eaten enough, but he was too embarrassed to say so. "It was my fault. I shouldn't have complained about how bad the potatoes were."
Despite his words, it was good that he recognized his mistake. Bai Shuang still took out a few hot pies. They had enough to eat at home, so there was no need for them to go hungry.
I also gave the snow leopard some dog food soaked in goat milk.
Then, the three of them began to study how to grow cold-resistant potatoes. According to the research institute, the frozen soil should be thawed in a warm place and then mixed with wood ash, etc. Homemade farmyard manure would be even better.
The White Frost Space does have firewood, including solid wood flooring that Bai Jiu and Bai Jiu had broken off early on, as well as branches pruned from the fruit trees in the White Frost Space.
However, she has her own electricity and gas for heating and cooking, so she has never burned any at home because the smoke is too much and makes the house look terrible.
Bai Jiu took some potatoes he had grown before and exchanged them for some wood ash at Wang Xiu's house.
The three of them worked, and the snow leopard also ran around helping out.
Bai Jiu said to the snow leopard, "Work hard, and after the potatoes are harvested, you'll eat them every day."
Snow leopard, "Woof woof woof," here's some food for you.
Bai Shuang watched Bai Jiu playing with the snow leopard and laughed, "We'll trade the snow leopard for meat in the future."
Woof woof woof, that's more like it.
Bai Jiu: "We'll use this to find a wife for the snow leopard in the future."
Snow leopard: Woof woof woof, I'll get you a new wife!
Cut the potato sprouts into pieces. Take out the white frost from your space. Use the carbendazim that I bought from the farm tool market when I was young to treat the seeds. If you don't have carbendazim, you can use wood ash to treat the seeds.
Then the three of them planted the potatoes in foam boxes and used fluorescent lights to supplement the light.
On June 21, Director Zheng was escorting potato seeds to a distribution point when, as they passed an intersection, a group of robbers suddenly appeared and stole thousands of kilograms of potato seeds.
At that time, Bai Shuang and her two companions were covering the potatoes with soil when they heard the brothers upstairs turn on their walkie-talkies and tell them the news.
Bai Shuang's first impression was: embezzlement.
Director Zheng is becoming increasingly reckless; we need to get rid of him as soon as possible.
"Our boss told me to tell you not to go out for the time being. They're taking action to prevent the criminals from resorting to desperate measures."
The stolen items weighed thousands of pounds! They were planted indoors by the scientists at the research institute, one pot at a time, and accumulated by them. Just in terms of supplemental lighting, I don't know how much manpower and resources were spent.
In the face of natural disasters and apocalypse, food is life, and it is incredibly precious. Survivors are willing to sell their children or even resort to cannibalism for a bite to eat. How much more so when people rely on the newly developed cold-resistant potato varieties to survive?
Today, the survivors at the distribution points are still waiting in line in the frigid temperatures of minus 50 degrees Celsius! They arrive at the distribution points before dawn to queue, worried that if they are late, they will not be able to receive anything.
Now, if the government were to tell them that the potato seeds were gone and had been stolen by robbers, how would they feel?
If someone incites others to say bad things and smear Lu Yu or themselves, even if it doesn't affect anything, they will still end up in a mess!
Bai Chang said angrily, "These bastards!"
Bai Jiu: "Miss, shall we go help?"
Bai Shuang nodded. Since they were already enemies anyway, she might as well join forces with Lu Yu and the others to take them down.
I asked the guy upstairs, and the location of the robbery wasn't far from their warehouse that I knew about last time. There were soldiers searching everywhere. Bai Shuang analyzed that they would definitely transport the stolen cold-resistant potatoes to the warehouse for storage.
Despite this analysis, just in case, Bai Shuang still planned to start the pursuit from the location of the robbery.
When they interrogated the henchmen together last time, Lu Yu also knew the address of their warehouse. However, he was worried that if they alerted the enemy, Wolong might sneak away, so they didn't take any action these past two days.
Bai Shuang, the three people, and the dog immediately got fully armed, sticking heat packs on their underwear, putting on ordinary clothes, and wearing special helmets.
I also dressed the snow leopard in a bulletproof vest and temporarily stored it in my storage space.
The three put on their ski boots and quietly left the residential area through the same exit the robbers had used last time.
They didn't dare use the snowmobile the whole way. Who still uses snowmobiles these days? If they drove out, people would immediately recognize them as Bai Shuang and her group.
They spotted two people following them and immediately shot them in the head.
They soon arrived at the robbery location. It hadn't snowed that morning, and tire tracks and signs of a struggle were still visible.
The snow leopard was released, and it sniffed the scents on the road and ran straight in one direction.
Bai Shuang and the other two followed behind the snow leopard, but the snow leopard was not heading in the direction of the Wolong Gang's warehouse.
Bai Shuang suspected that the snow leopard might have wandered off in the snow because its sense of smell was affected by the environment.
But her intuition told her that she couldn't be wrong about the snow leopard.
Ten minutes later, the snow leopard approached a building, and White Frost, who was following closely behind, sensed danger inside.
Immediately stop the snow leopard from advancing. Bai Shuang used her mental power to sense that no one was around and put it into her spatial storage to prevent it from getting hurt.
The direction the snow leopard had just walked was the building's entrance and exit. The three of them circled around to the side and glided towards another entrance and exit.
Three minutes later, they were less than 20 meters from the exit, but Bai Xue sensed someone nearby.
She used her mental power to sense the person's location, took out a sleeping potion from her spatial storage, and was about to throw it when she heard a voice, "Shuangshuang!"
Bai Xue and the others looked up and exclaimed, "Lu Yu!"
Although they were wrapped up so tightly that their faces were not visible, their figures and movements revealed them to be Lu Yu and his two bodyguards.
Bai Shuang asked softly, "What are you doing here?"
"They have their own people in their group; they came here looking for coded signals along the way."
It wasn't convenient to say more here, so the two of them tacitly stopped talking, and the group slid down the building wall to the entrance...
