"Last night, a madman distributed supplies to those in the base who were barely surviving. Didn't any of you notice anything during your patrols?"
Zhou Heng's expression was solemn.
"Sir, nothing unusual has been found."
"Go investigate and find out who this person is. Also, the base will start civilian protection measures and open a new canteen with very low prices. You need to take good security measures. If anyone causes trouble, give them three chances. The first time, give them a verbal warning. If they don't listen, give them a gun warning. If they still don't listen, detain them and take them away. Understand?"
"clear!"
Zhou Heng frowned as he looked at the orders issued by his superiors.
The higher-ups ordered him to find the mysterious person who distributed supplies last night within three days, but he didn't have a single useful clue.
At noon, the base released a new announcement: from now on, the base will provide lunch every day. Each person will receive 1 point, which can be redeemed for a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge, with the dishes varying.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for those struggling to make ends meet.
You can at least get one meal a day, so you won't starve. And it only costs one point. As long as you're willing to work, you're guaranteed to get points.
The base has issued a new task for the Baomin Canteen, requiring the public to collect supplies. The collection scope can be expanded to include not only key urban warehouses but also vast rural areas.
Despite the freezing weather, the base's underground city is working diligently to cultivate a batch of hydroponically grown vegetables, as well as various other vegetables that only require temperature to grow and do not need light.
People cannot survive without vitamins for a long period of time.
Jiang Zhi touched Wanfu's body and fed it the remaining half of the fever reducer.
Let's do our best and leave the rest to fate.
Wanfu's fur grew longer and longer, and even more fine downy hairs grew out, making him look less and less like a tabby cat.
Jiang Zhi moved Wan Fu next to the stove, ate her meal, and observed him as she did so.
Wanfu remained unconscious, and she lost her appetite.
In this weather, if she hadn't kept the stove burning, the food would have gotten cold as soon as it was taken out, and would have frozen in a little while.
The outdoor temperature has dropped to minus 29 degrees Celsius.
The indoor oxygen level dropped to 15%, so Jiang Zhi had to use an oxygen concentrator. With the help of the oxygen concentrator, the indoor oxygen level rose to 19%, and she felt that her breathing was much easier.
She also placed five or six frost-resistant green plants there; having these plants around makes her feel much more comfortable.
After the ice melts next year, the land will produce a new batch of plants, adding some oxygen to the earth. When the heat reaches its extreme, these plants, which have experienced severe cold and heat, will be more resilient than before and will not die out completely due to the heat.
Wanfu burned for three days and mutated into a completely new variety.
This must be a secondary mutation.
The first time it will be to resist the cold, and the second time it may evolve some new abilities.
Wanfu has also grown considerably larger.
Jiang Zhi suppressed the urge to open its skull and find out if there were any crystals in its brain.
If Wanfu wakes up and doesn't recognize her, kill her, and you'll see her brain being ripped out.
Jiang Zhi thought to herself.
"Meow~" It was still a sound as small as a mosquito's buzz.
"Are you about to wake up?" Jiang Zhi poked Wanfu.
"Meow..."
Why does that sound a bit like crying? Jiang Zhi pried open Wanfu's eyelids, her eyes filled with bloodshot veins.
"You absolutely must change for the better, or you'll end up dead. I won't be merciful to you just because you've been with me for a while."
Jiang Zhi tried to draw a wisp of spiritual energy from her dantian and inject it into Wanfu's body, and to her surprise, she succeeded.
Suddenly, the whole cat began to tremble.
"Won't it be incompatible?" Jiang Zhi thought of all the worst possible outcomes.
"Meow!" Wanfu shouted, then stood up. The bloodshot in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a pair of clear golden-green pupils.
"Hungry, hungry, hungry..."
Wanfu's sudden use of the word "hunger" left Jiang Zhi both amused and exasperated.
This thing has really become sentient.
For the first time ever, Jiang Zhi took out a frozen chicken, chopped it into small pieces, boiled it in plain water, and placed it in front of Wan Fu.
They also thawed two pieces of an unidentified fish, boiled them in hot water until they softened, but the insides weren't fully cooked, and gave them to Wanfu to eat raw.
Wanfu was indeed hungry, and he ate heartily, finishing half of the fish before moving on to the chicken, and finally eating the fish again. Jiang Zhi kindly prepared warm water for Wanfu, and after Wanfu had eaten and drunk his fill, he tilted his head back and stared at Jiang Zhi without moving.
His originally thin frame has now grown into the size of a lion.
"Awooooo~ Mangmang." Strange words came out of Wanfu's throat. Jiang Zhi grabbed the guy by the back of his neck. Wanfu's body stiffened in mid-air, staring at Jiang Zhi, and he kept shouting: "Mangmang~ Meow awooooo".
Are you calling me "Mom"?
"Aww~"
Jiang Zhi: "..." I don't have a son as good as you.
Jiang Zhi put down the "Wanfu" (a traditional Chinese greeting) with a look of disgust, and this guy immediately ran over to stick his nose at her.
“Jiang Wanfu, if you call me Mom in front of others, you’ll be arrested and dissected. Do you know what dissection is? It’s like cutting you open, smashing your head, taking out a tiny bit of cells, culturing them, and putting them under a microscope…” Jiang Zhi picked up the furry little thing, and the two of them snuggled up on the sofa.
"Meow."
Wanfu flicked its tail, revealing a disdainful expression, as if to say, "Come on then, I'm not afraid."
Mom puts on the stickers.
Wanfu stretched the cat's head towards Jiang Zhi's chest and rolled around there.
Don't be smug!
You perverted cat.
Jiang Zhi grabbed Wanfu's cat head, pulled it to the side, and put a honeycomb briquette in the stove, which quickly made the fire burn brighter.
Downstairs, Wang Wan used his points to exchange for wooden planks and then went outside to get steel bars from somewhere. He spent the whole morning hammering and tinkering, and finally managed to partition off the living room.
The woman in the next bedroom was someone he met on the street. They weren't familiar with each other. Wang Wan disliked revealing his private life in front of others, which is why he did all this.
But why does the wall feel a little warm?
Wang Wan took off his gloves, set up a table, and reached out to touch the ceiling.
There were two warm spots on the ceiling; although the temperature wasn't high, it was much warmer than the surrounding area.
There's only one possibility: the people upstairs are burning something, at least a stove or something similar. Wang Wan thought he could get a stove too.
“Miss Yanzhi, I think we need a stove. Would you like to come with me to the base supermarket to take a look? If the base supermarket doesn’t have one, maybe we can make one ourselves.” Wang Wan held up a hammer, leaned close to the door of the next bedroom, and smiled, revealing eight teeth.
"No need, go by yourself. I'm not used to being around other people," Yan Zhi replied indifferently.
Knowing the woman's temper, Wang Wan didn't bother to provoke her. He built a bed out of wooden planks, covered it with thick cotton wadding, and even blocked the windows with paper balls to ensure there was no draft.
