Although Li Xue's ability is very strong, she is the head of the base after all. And the people in the base also urgently need to do these jobs to earn points, so Li Xue only showed off her skills a little on the first day of work, as a ceremony to start work.
Later, more people joined in the work of breaking the ice. Although they are not fire-type mutants or ice-type mutants, they are strong! Especially those power-type mutants, holding a big iron hammer in their hands, a hammer can make cracks in the solid ice surface.
Others took smaller hammers, broke the broken ice into pieces, and then pulled them aside to let the fire-type mutants help melt them.
The workload of breaking ice was so huge that it was unimaginable, so everyone in the base was mobilized. Everyone was no longer afraid of the cold at this time, and most of them had used up their points in the previous rush to buy. Fortunately, breaking ice is a purely physical job, and even in the coldest weather, you can sweat a lot.
The base was not stingy, and the points for breaking ice were quite high. Ordinary people could get 20 points as long as they worked for a full day. The points that people with special abilities and mutant abilities could get were naturally higher.
Don't underestimate these 20 points. Now the food in the base is still sold to the people in the base at the original price. Sweet potatoes are two points per kilogram. After working for a day, you can buy ten kilograms of sweet potatoes, which is really a very generous treatment. Therefore, most people in the base rushed to break ice.
Although it was a bit tiring, the temptation of points was irresistible! At most, I could work for one day and rest for the next. It was very cost-effective if I calculated it this way. I didn't have to worry about points at all.
Just when everyone was busy, a plane seemed to break through the connection between the white ice and the sky, and flew straight towards the Hope Base with a piercing roar.
People stood on the ice and looked up at the plane as if they were looking at an alien monster. How long has it been since they saw people from outside? It's been about half a year. It was really surprising that a plane suddenly appeared.
Some smart people quickly ran back to the base along the newly dug ice ladder to inform the leaders of the base.
The plane circled over the Hope Base for a long time, as if looking for a place to land.
After a long time, the people on the plane did not seem to find a suitable place to land, and flew away again.
"Alas, gone. I don't know where the people on the plane came from?"
"This heavy snow has been going on for several months. I don't know what happened to other bases?"
"I think it's uncertain. Not every base can be like our base, with sufficient food, and the base commander and leaders who care about us so wholeheartedly."
"Think about the past. In other bases, if there was a disaster, wouldn't we ordinary people be the first to be abandoned? But in our Hope Base, so many things have happened. Before, for the sake of food, those black-hearted people forced the base commander and others to drive the elderly away, but our base commander and the directors simply ignored them. They also took the opportunity to deal with those bad elements with dissidents. Anyway, no matter how big the problems are in the future, I will not leave our Hope Base. Following our base commander, I will have food to eat and clothes to wear. In this world, aren't we living for these two things?"
"Yes, that's the truth."
Everyone talked at once, from curiosity about the person on the plane to showing loyalty.
As they were talking, they heard another roar, and someone shouted, "Look, the plane is coming back again!"
The plane circled twice in the air and began to slowly descend.
Everyone looked at the smooth ice surface, which had some places protruding very high (like the top of a mountain), and they were all worried for the people on the plane. If things go wrong, the plane will be destroyed and the people will die!
The plane finally landed and slid forward along the ice surface. The ice surface was too smooth, and the plane couldn't stop at all. It was about to hit the protruding iceberg not far ahead.
"Oh no, it's going to hit!"
"Squeak--" The tires of the plane rubbed against the ice surface, making a harsh sound.
Just when everyone was so nervous that they didn't dare to look at the plane anymore, Li Xue's figure appeared on the ice surface. She held the child in one hand and waved her other hand in the air. A moving ice wall enveloped the plane and then slowed down the plane. Finally, the plane stopped less than a hundred meters away from the iceberg. The marks left by the tires on the ice behind the plane were more than three or four kilometers.
Li Xue waved her hand again and removed the ice wall. Then, the plane's door opened and several familiar figures walked out of the cabin.
Li Xue's good eyesight allowed her to recognize those figures before others could see the people coming. She shouted happily, "It's Tingting and Chen Hai! Hurry up and inform Chen Tang and the others."
"What do you want me to do?" Chen Tang's voice came over immediately. She had just discovered the plane in the base. She heard that the plane was heading for the Hope Base, so she followed along to join in the fun. However, her speed was not as fast as Li Xue's, so she fell behind by a long way. She just heard Li Xue mention her name.
"Xiaotang, look, who's here?" Li Xue said excitedly, pointing at the people coming towards them from a distance. She saw a fluffy figure following behind them. It was Mumu.
Chen Tang glanced over there, then rubbed his eyes in disbelief. After making sure that he was not dazzled, he screamed in surprise and ran towards Chen Hai and the others: "Ah! Brother, Tingting, and Mumu!"
Xiaoye followed closely behind Chen Tang. The ice was so slippery, and he was really afraid that Chen Tang would not run well and fall. When
Mumu heard Chen Tang's voice, he spread his legs and ran towards Chen Tang. Before, when Chen Tang followed Xiaoye back to the Hope Base, it was left at the ZY Base to accompany Mrs. Chen. I thought the separation was only temporary, but I didn't expect that more than a year had passed in a flash.
There were too many changes in this year, and it almost lost its owner.
Mumu's speed is very fast, and the smooth ice surface is not a problem for it. As it ran, its body gradually grew taller, until it became the same size as when Li Xue and the others first saw it and Chen Tang.
Chen Tang just ran to Mu Mu's side, and before he had time to say hello to it, he was grabbed by its big mouth and thrown. The whole person rolled twice in the air, and then landed steadily on Mu Mu's back.
Xiao Ye was startled by Mu Mu's sudden action. Although he knew that Mu Mu would not hurt Chen Tang, he still couldn't help but worry.
