Chapter 278 What are they doing at the old base?



Commander Wang was still angry, so he went to find Commander Liu again.

"It's already dark, and they (the leaders) haven't come over yet. Tell me, if it's so dangerous, why are they still staying at the old base?"

Commander Liu: "Brother, there's a lot of follow-up stuff to do. Can you finish it all in one day?"

"I'm not trying to be mean, but the commander risked his life to handle matters at home. How could he be wrong?"

"But we haven't seen them send any supplies over?"

Commander Liu: "You're confused. We just arrived today and haven't had time to do anything. The warehouse isn't even set up yet. Where are we going to put the supplies that are being delivered?"

The army of survivors is still on its way; let's hurry and get the preparatory work done.

“I understand, but I suspect he tricked us into coming here while he was enjoying himself alone at the base.”

Commander Liu looked at him like he was an idiot. "Didn't you see the Bai family is here?"

"So what if the Bai family came?"

Commander Liu: "If the commander really wanted to enjoy his life alone at the old base, why did he send the Bai family here?"

"What business is it of Guan Bai's family?"

"You must know Bai Shuang's status in the Lu family, right?"

"I see."

Commander Wang was able to rise to the position of army commander in the army, so he certainly couldn't be a fool. A little thought would make it clear.

"But what if they embezzle the supplies?"

Commander Liu looked at him and said, "If they really want to embezzle it, what can you do? You can't do anything about it; you still have to rely on them for a living."

Like people say, if you don't want to live here, you can move elsewhere, but can you move? You have nowhere to go.

As for hiding supplies, don't you think about it? Where on Earth can you hide supplies now?

What I saw, however, was the old leader working tirelessly day and night for the survivors of the Chinese war.

There's one more thing I haven't said yet, so don't judge a gentleman by your own petty standards.

When Commander Wang saw that he couldn't get along with Commander Liu, he turned and left.

At this moment, Commander Liu's personal guard brought in water and said, "General, Commander Wang seems to be angry."

"If he comes again, just say I'm not here."

In years of great famine, as soldiers of the Chinese nation, instead of prioritizing survival through solidarity, they spend their days fabricating stories out of thin air.

………………

This is the old base.

After finishing her meal, Bai Shuang and Lu Yu pretended to go home and brought back a box of ingredients to give to Chef Wang.

"Uncle Wang, these are some ingredients we've kept for a while. You can cook them however you like."

"Okay, okay, that's good, now we have the ingredients."

In the apocalypse, the worst thing for a chef is to be unable to cook without rice.

"Also, take this bag of eggplants. We've had a lot of people eating lately, so thank you for your hard work."

"How could I accept this? Cooking is simply our duty."

Uncle Wang was too embarrassed to take it, so Bai Shuang stuffed it into his hand.

He opened the box and found various fresh vegetables, eggs, beef, mutton, several large ostrich eggs, two bags of rice, a bag of flour, and a large bag of dried noodles.

The young mistress always brings out exceptionally good ingredients.

The leader never mistreats the servants; when they cook for the leaders, the servants also eat well.

After Bai Shuang and Lu Yu returned to their room and closed the door, the two of them and their dog went into the space first, where a field of rice had ripened today.

As soon as they entered, the Monkey King ran over to Bai Shuang and pointed to the fruit in the basket to show off his achievements.

Bai Shuang reached out and patted its head. "Well done, keep up the good work."

The Monkey King looked proudly at the other two, as if to say, "See how much my master loves me? Let's see who dares to disobey me in the future."

Bai Shuang deliberately rewarded them with four roujiamo (Chinese hamburgers), and gave them all to the Monkey King to see how he would divide them.

As a result, it naturally kept two and gave the other two to the other two monkeys.

The two eyes stared at the two monkey kings as if it were perfectly natural.

Since those two arrived, the tasks of picking ripe fruit and collecting eggs have been entirely left to them.

Because the monkey king arrived first, he became their leader and the true monkey king.

Don't misunderstand, it wasn't the white frost that set it, it was the frost that set it itself.

The snow leopard watched them eat roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and wanted some too.

Bai Shuang: "Alright, stop being so envious. How much good food do you usually eat?"

She looked at Lu Yu and said, "Let's release those monkeys we caught today to help with the work."

"Can the Monkey King control him?"

"It's alright, if we can't control it, we'll ask the snow leopard for help."

They released a few monkeys and handed them over to the monkey king and the snow leopard. Then, Lu Yu and the monkey king released herbivores and animals with medicinal value to breed.

Next, Lu Yu drove the combine harvester to harvest the rice, directly harvesting the grains and placing them in the space to dry.

Bai Shuang: "We're tired today, let's continue farming tomorrow."

Then the two took a bath in the spiritual spring in the space and came out to rest. Tomorrow they would continue to collect the military factory and armory.

Fortunately, Bai Shuang had ample storage space, enough for 50 large football fields, but she only used a dozen or so.

Lying in Lu Yu's arms, half-asleep, she asked, "You said the survivors on foot, are they walking now? Or are they lying by the roadside sleeping?"

"It'll be cooler now. We should be moving. During the day when it's hot, the base arranges for people to set up sunshades so we can rest under them."

Military trucks accompanied them throughout the journey.

"That's good, at least no one will die of heatstroke on the road."

At this time, people were indeed walking on the road. They had walked for several hours in the morning, and by 10 o'clock, they were too hot to bear, and there were no shady slopes along the roadside.

Fortunately, the people at the Kyoto base were all handpicked and had relatively good physical condition, so nothing bad happened.

Meanwhile, the accompanying staff took the sunshade from the vehicle and began setting it up.

Despite the heat, the large number of people made the setup quick. Once inside the tent, it was slightly better, but the hot air blowing in from outside made it impossible to fall asleep.

It got a little cooler in the afternoon, and I was able to fall asleep, but it was time to get up.

They got up, drank some water, ate some dry rations, and continued on their way.

The Bai family's employees are much better off. At least they have delicious compressed biscuits, and those few ice bricks, although packed in insulated bags, are still cool to the touch when carried around.

By the afternoon, it had all melted into cool snow water, which was then bottled. When the heat became unbearable, a sip would make one feel much better.

But while some people envy, others covet. When people can't stand the extreme heat, they're capable of anything.

With soldiers following them, they wouldn't dare to rob them outright, but as long as no one saw them, they could still get away with stealing.

Their target was the Bai family's employees, because they had snow water and compressed biscuits.

In this way, snowmelt and food can be stolen without anyone noticing.

Just as yet another person was robbed, Vice President Li of Baijia Hospital, together with Liu Changhong, the general manager of the pharmaceutical factory, organized the Baijia employees together.

By leaving the main group and forming separate teams, no one lost anything anymore.

But not long after, some people in front of them fainted from the heat. Someone suggested that the Bai family employees had some ice, and immediately some people came over to ask for some.
