Bai Shuang accepted the temperature-controlled sun hat. "Thank you."
Well, you can't hit someone who's smiling at you, and you can't be too ruthless when you do things.
Ling Qingyang handed the other top to Lu Yu.
At each location the group visited, two geologists used instruments to determine the geological conditions, and Mr. Ling judged whether it was suitable to build houses there.
It was soon noon, the time when the sun was at its strongest. Although everyone was wearing thermal clothing and sun hats, they were all panting from the heat, and were also thirsty and hungry.
The group walked carefully on the cracked ground. Bai Shuang looked ahead and stepped on the edge of a crack.
"Frost, go inside."
Ling Liyuan gave a tense reminder.
Lu Yu quickly reached out and pulled her away.
Along the way, mutated insects would occasionally emerge from the cracks in the ground, but because of the hot weather, they would quickly burrow back down.
As noon approached, Bai Shuang and the others were fine; their bodies had been tempered by the spiritual spring water, and they didn't feel anything amiss.
But the others were too exhausted to walk any further. They were already quite far from where the plane had been parked, and no one had the strength to walk back.
Lu Yu suggested they take a break, so they found a shady spot, stopped to drink water, and had a meal.
When Bai Shuang saw them take out hard, lumpy multigrain buns to eat, she couldn't resist and gave each of them a rice ball.
To be honest, most of the people here are our own people, and after a day or two of getting to know them, the two geologists seem like nice guys too.
"Thank you, thank you so much, I can't accept this."
Ling Qingyang saw the portable gas stove being taken out of the box and came over to help.
Bai Shuang handed him the water bottle, then took out a tomato from her bag, chopped it into small pieces with a fruit knife, and handed it to him.
Lu Yu helped tear the seaweed and throw it into the pot, while Bai Shuang handed them a bag of dehydrated vegetables and poured it in.
Then sprinkle with salt and chicken bouillon.
Once the water boiled, Bai Shuang poured the beaten egg mixture into the pot and added a few drops of sesame oil.
A delicious and visually appealing tomato, seaweed, and egg drop soup is ready.
Whether the person making it felt anything is unknown, but the people watching nearby were drooling with envy.
Bai Shuang used disposable paper bowls to serve each person a bowl.
Mr. Wei: "Mr. Bai is very well prepared. Where did you buy this gas stove?"
Lu Yu: "In the past."
I had stored a batch of these white frost-covered food before the disaster, but I hadn't used them. I had space to store cooked food, so I didn't need them easily. Now they've finally come in handy.
Ling Liyuan was happy to see the three children working together, and hoped that they could stay together in the future.
The two geologists sipped the delicious soup slowly, wanting to savor it for as long as possible. "Boss Bai, when will you hire me?"
Mr. Liu: "Hire me too."
Bai Shuang never expected that she could win over two geologists with just one meal.
“I can’t afford to hire a geologist.”
Mr. Wei: "It's not expensive. Just give us the same number of points as everyone else."
Mr. Liu: "It's fine if you don't give me points, as long as you provide meals. I don't have high expectations, I'll just eat your staff meals."
Everyone, ...
Mr. Ling: "Gentlemen, where is the integrity of our scientists?"
Mr. Wei: "What's wrong with scientists? Scientists also need to eat. Besides, we earn our living through our labor, we don't steal or cheat."
Mr. Liu: "You're right. We're not like you architects, who are busy all the time."
"We geologists are mostly idle; what are we going to eat if we don't earn points?"
Lu Yujian gave a thumbs up, "Promising, with a bright future."
Everyone,……
They have no mental baggage, are not aloof, and can adapt to any situation, which is quite good.
Bai Shuang: "Besides geological exploration, what else can you do?"
"We can also do cleaning. Why don't you hire us to guard the gate?"
Bai Shuang: "I think the guards at the gate are all highly skilled individuals, handpicked one by one."
"That's it, then all we can do is clean. Oh, we can also farm, you can hire us to farm."
Bai Shuang: "My planting area used to have short-term laborers, but that has stopped now."
Okay, I'll consider it, but we'll talk about it once everything is more stable.
The group rested and chatted for a while, and when the sun began to set and the heat subsided, they started looking for a place to stay.
Meanwhile, the Yuwen family, whom Commander Wang had suggested, were also searching desperately on the road.
The ground was difficult to walk on, the sun was blazing, and when hungry, all you could do was nibble on a few hard, coarse grain buns.
In fact, even reclusive families have people who can identify terrain, but the journey is difficult.
Relying solely on their own two legs, and constantly watching out for cracks in the ground—cracks that stretch as far as the eye can see—how long would it take to reach the other side?
Finally, when they had only one bottle of water left, the eldest son of the Yuwen family ordered, "Let's turn back."
Miss: "Just like that, you give up?"
The eldest son said, "If we don't give up, are we really going to throw our lives here just for 100 points per person per day?"
Second Miss: "Will Bai Shuang and the others give up?"
Eldest son: "No, but they have airplanes."
Don't stubbornly try to outdo others. Know when to back down; if you can't do it, then don't. Rushing in recklessly will only get you killed.
"I don't want to back down."
The second young lady said angrily that she had secretly gone to Bai Shuang's pharmaceutical factory with Li Ming, the son of Commander Li, last time.
The secret recipe couldn't be found, and several families were poisoned, suffering from pain and itching for several days. It was only after using the family's treasured antidote pills that she was mostly cured.
Even now, I still feel pain and itching at night, but it's not very noticeable during the day when I'm active.
"If you're not going to back down, go find it yourself. Don't drag everyone down with you."
The second young lady pouted but still followed them back; she couldn't survive alone outside.
Despite their extreme frugality in saving water when thirsty, they ran out of water after only returning halfway.
Thirst prevented him from eating, so he could only grit his teeth and walk back, while also having to watch out for cracks that might appear on the roadside at any moment.
Just when they were exhausted, they saw White Frost's plane flying towards the base in the sky.
Why do they have airplanes?
The second young lady said indignantly.
The eldest son: "They use their own plane, do you?"
I know you're ambitious, but you also need to be discerning and avoid unnecessary setbacks.
………………
Bai Shuang and the others returned to the base and first reported the situation to Elder Lu.
Old Lu: "You mean you've found a place with underground water sources, a place that was originally on the seabed and has relatively stable geology, but haven't found it yet?"
Mr. Ling: "Yes."
Old Lu: "I'll give you a week to compare the options. If you really can't find a suitable place, then find a relatively stable place and we'll repair it."
Bai Shuang: "From now on, we won't be able to retrieve them from the water anymore, as places with water are too far away."
Mr. Lu: "If the seawater doesn't dry up after a nuclear leak in an island nation, it will be completely contaminated."
So there are advantages to her drying out; we can try retrieving her from a farther location later.
