Chapter 368: Finding Coal Mines



Kong Jianming came three days later.

He came on a tricycle, and in addition to the equipment for digging wells, he also owed them a few smoked chickens.

As soon as they saw the smoked chicken, Su Nian and the other two's eyes lit up instantly.

The three of them did not hide their expressions at all, and Kong Jianming quickly understood why they reacted that way.

"As soon as I see you like this, I know you must have eaten the smoked chicken I sent you last time. How was it? Did it taste good?"

Su Nian smiled and nodded, "Okay! Of course!"

Not only ate, but finished eating.

Of course, Su Nian didn't intend to say this.

If we tell Kong Jianming now that they have finished eating, he will probably be shocked.

It is difficult for people nowadays to get enough food, let alone eat meat.

For most people, it would be good enough if they could get a little meat and eat a little at a time.

If you save some money, you can probably eat a few smoked chickens for a year or two.

For people like Su Nian and his friends, who ate several of them in just a few days, if others knew about it, they would definitely ask in amazement: What kind of family are you?

Fortunately, Kong Jianming is not a curious person, and he will not pry into the privacy of Su Nian and others.

He directly talked about another matter, "I came here today, actually I have something else to tell you."

Seeing Kong Jianming's serious face, "Now that the sun is gone, it is very difficult to generate large amounts of electricity, and the temperature is getting lower and lower, whether it is to keep warm or for daily food and drink, we need coal.

This province is rich in coal resources. Now that the base has been initially stabilized, I decided to go to the nearest coal mine to take a look and try to get more coal back.

What do you usually cook? Do you want to come along?"

When Kong Jianming first started talking, Su Nian more or less guessed what he was going to say, and wanted to wait until Kong Jianming finished speaking before directly refusing.

But Su Nian didn't expect that Kong Jianming would ask her such a question at the last moment.

What do they usually burn?

Of course, you can burn whatever you want.

Whether it is firewood, coal, or stove, Su Nian's space has no shortage of them.

But when faced with Kong Jianming's question, this is not the answer.

Su Nian looked towards Jing Mo and saw Jing Mo nodded slightly to her, which was a signal for her not to speak.

Su Nian didn't say anything, just looked at Jing Mo, waiting for Jing Mo to speak.

"We are burning charcoal and firewood now. Although we still have a lot, it would be great if we could get more."

Kong Jianming nodded slightly, "I thought so too. I don't know how long these dark days will last. We should make more preparations to cope with the future life. That's why I thought of asking you if you want to go with me. If you want to go with me, you should prepare first. After three to five days, we should be ready to leave."

Now Jing Mo was a little curious, "Why do you have to wait so long?"

"You don't know the current situation at the base. Although there are many vehicles, gasoline must be used sparingly. So this time, we have to bring a lot of people with us and use carts to bring back the coal."

Hearing Kong Jianming's words, Su Nian was stunned on the spot.

There is nothing surprising about using human power to pull the cart.

After all, human resources are the least valuable nowadays.

But the coal mine is very far from here. We have to go so far and then pull the coal back.

This time, a month seems short.

Su Nian didn't really want to go in the first place, and after hearing this, she didn't want to go even more.

They have everything they need, so there is no need for them to suffer this.

Even if this causes Kong Jianming to have some doubts, that's okay.

Su Nian was thinking in her heart when she heard Kong Jianming speak again.

“You don’t have to worry about the round trip taking too long. We have to go check out the situation at the coal mine, so it’s impossible for everyone to walk slowly.

We will set out together in a few days. Those who are not capable will go behind. Someone will lead the team. I will lead the team and drive over. You will follow me. If things go well, it will only take three days to drive back and forth. "

Hearing this, Su Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jing Mo didn't hesitate this time and agreed directly, "If that's the case, then we agree. When we're ready to leave, just come and inform us."

"Then it's settled. I still have a lot of things to do over there, so I'll leave first."

After seeing Kong Jianming off, Su Nian and the other two returned to the house to discuss.

Before Su Nian and Jing Mo could speak, Wu Yue said, "I'm not interested in coal. Why don't you go and I'll stay at home to look after the house. I'll take good care of the poultry at home, so you can just rest assured."

Listening to Wu Yue's words, Su Nian felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Even at this time, Wu Yue was still only thinking about the poultry.

Although poultry is related to whether they can satisfy their appetite, it is certainly nothing compared to Wu Yue's safety.

"I don't care about the poultry. You stay at home alone, and safety is the most important thing." Su Nian said.

Jing Mo didn't say anything, but stood up and said, "Let's go to your place."

Wu Yue looked at Jing Mo strangely, "What are you going to do with me?"

Wu Yue’s RV is right next door, but Jing Mo has never been there once.

Now, Wu Yue of course felt strange when she suddenly heard Jing Mo say this.

"I'll leave you some weapons for self-defense."

Wu Yue said subconsciously, "But I have a weapon!"

She has both cold and hot weapons.

Jing Mo didn't say anything this time, just looked at Wu Yue.

Seeing this, Wu Yue didn't say anything more and just stood up.

The three of them came to Wu Yue's RV together. Jing Mo asked Wu Yue to put away the unimportant things and try to make as much space as possible.

As Wu Yue put away the things and made room for them, Jing Mo immediately took out a lot of hot weapons.

Seeing the RV being filled up quickly, Su Nian saw two big clear words on Wu Yue’s face - speechless.

"You're only going out for three days, is that so serious?"

Su Nian nodded seriously, "Of course! In this situation, danger can happen at any time. Only by making full preparations can we feel at ease with each other."

Perhaps because she saw Su Nian and Jing Mo were so prepared, Wu Yue no longer took it lightly.

"Okay, since you all said so, then I will listen to you. Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself and wait for you to come back safely."

Jing Mo patted the cannon beside him and said, "When necessary, fire at will, regardless of casualties."

Having been with Wu Yue for such a long time, Su Nian and Jing Mo know Wu Yue's personality very well.

Unless others provoke her first, she would never bother with others.

If we give these weapons to her, we don't have to worry about her misusing them.
