Xiao Lin then began to assign tasks, calling Hai Dong over and saying, "Go and organize the large trucks or other vehicles that can transport supplies that are currently available in the base."
He then summoned Ling Feng and said, "Go and take stock of the superhuman teams. Group the most capable people together. We'll be going out for the next few days, and the situation is quite dangerous, so each team should have at least 30 people, and the team composition should be perfect."
He said to Wang Qiyang, "Pass the word that the polar night is coming and the base will be relocated soon. During this period, there will be power, water, and heating restrictions at the base. Make sure everyone at the base prepares winter supplies. Also, warn the merchants at the base not to take this opportunity to inflate prices for points. At the same time, recruit more people so that everyone at the base can earn points, to avoid supply shortages. Expand all previous positions. You have experience in this area, and I trust your arrangements." After saying this, he tapped Wang Qiyang on the shoulder with a gesture of trust.
Wang Qiyang stared in disbelief at the hand on his shoulder, his heart pounding with joy. "It's been so long! Boss has finally shown his trust in me!" Wang Qiyang's clear, naive eyes, like those of a college student, shone with a dazzling light.
Nodding vigorously, he shouted, "Mission accomplished!"
Ling Feng and Hai Dong, who were standing to the side, were quite envious of Wang Qiyang for receiving such trust. They didn't linger and ran off quickly to complete the task Xiao Lin had assigned them.
After the three people left, he asked Professor Wang, "What is the current situation regarding grain reserves at the base?"
Professor Wang said, "We have a lot of sweet potatoes stockpiled, but the lack of sunlight now means they are growing very slowly. The mature sweet potatoes we have so far can probably supply the people at the base for about half a month. These sweet potatoes have all been treated with nutrient solution, so they grow very fast, but that's also because there was plenty of sunlight before. As for now... I will try to find a way to develop crops that can grow in the polar night."
Xiao Lin nodded and said to Professor Wang, "Thank you for your hard work. The people of the base will thank you."
After everyone left, Xiao Lin said to Xia He, "In the next few days, you'll have to make a trip with me. After all, the strength of the superhuman team is still somewhat different from yours."
Xia He nodded. "Yes, I know."
Then, as if remembering something, he said, "You, Xiao Lin! What kind of person do you think I am! In your eyes, am I someone who doesn't work hard, does nothing, and only wants to play all day long?!"
Xiao Lin fell silent, pondering how to organize his thoughts. However, before he could speak, Hai Dong and Ling Feng, who had gone to count the supplies and manpower, returned. "Boss, we've finished counting everything and are ready to leave at any time!"
Xia He snorted at Xiao Lin in annoyance, turned around, and simply refused to look at him.
At this moment, Xiao Lin clenched his fist, covered his mouth, and coughed lightly, saying, "Then let's go. Let's search the gas stations as we did before the apocalypse and see if there are any oil resources buried underground."
Xiao Lin took a long stride and walked out. Xia He woke up the two little ones who were still sleeping, and the group walked to the garage.
To make the search easier, Xiao Lin waved his hand and, to everyone's surprise, put the several large trucks in front of him into his spatial storage.
Looking at everyone, he said, "This is my newly discovered superpower: space."
Xia He rolled her eyes at Xiao Lin's pretentious behavior. At this moment, Hai Dong spoke up, "Boss, since you have a space, why do you still need to count the trucks? Can't you just put the supplies into your space?"
Xiao Lin then glared at Hai Dong with a murderous look, "Of course it's for Plan B. Who knows what might happen when we're out!"
Finally, the team of 30 superhumans, plus Ling Feng and Hai Dong, made a total of 32 people. Wang Qiyang stayed at the base as the temporary commander, Xiao Lin and Xia He drove one car, and the remaining 32 people boarded a small van. They squeezed in, but everyone could still fit.
The two vehicles drove off to the base without any further ado.
The convoy slowly drove out of the base, weaving through the post-apocalyptic ruins. Under the cover of night, all was dark, with only the dim yellow light of the headlights illuminating the wreckage and desolation in the distance.
A biting wind howled past, carrying a chilling, piercing air. The vehicle drove through the dilapidated city, the road uneven and rugged, with ruined buildings blocking the way from time to time. The driver either went around them or easily ran them over. The faint light of the headlights pierced the darkness, outlining the blurry road.
Xia He sat in the passenger seat, took out her tablet, looked at the offline map of the pre-apocalyptic world, and directed the direction of the gas station. The two little ones were in the back seat. Tangyuan sat there with a noble air. Panda, on the other hand, was like a dog that had never seen the world before, sticking its fat head out of the window, the wind blowing its big mouth all over the place.
However, the roads before and after the apocalypse are different. Before long, Xiao Lin realized that he was going around in circles. So, he stopped the car, took out his communicator, and said to Hai Dong in the car behind him, "Stop the car, Hai Dong, get in my car."
Hai Dong excitedly approached Xiao Lin and Xia He's SUV. Xiao Lin got out of the driver's seat, walked to the passenger side, opened the door, and said to Xia He, "Why don't you go to the back seat, and I'll sit in the passenger seat to see the route?"
Xia He nodded in agreement with a hint of annoyance. However, after a while, the group was still taking the same detour. Xiao Lin picked up the communicator again and called out to Ling Feng in the car behind. Ling Feng asked the person in the car who could drive to take his place, and he got into the passenger seat of the SUV.
Xiao Lin awkwardly sat in the back seat, and Xia He couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw this.
Xiao Lin transmitted his voice to Xia He, "Stop laughing! Give me some face! I'm begging you!"
Upon hearing this, Xia He laughed for a while, but then she unconsciously fell silent when she saw Xiao Lin's dark face. Remembering that there were still two other people present, she held back her laughter.
Then he took out a few sweet potato cakes from his bag, which was actually his storage space, since he couldn't reveal his supplies to outsiders for the time being.
The two little ones smelled the aroma of food, especially the panda, whose big tail wagged wildly. Since Xia He got on the back seat, the space had been relatively spacious, but after Xiao Lin arrived, the back seat felt particularly cramped.
The panda could only sit forlornly in the trunk. Then, smelling the aroma of food, it slammed its tail against the trunk door, making a loud bang.
Xia He shared some of the sweet potato cakes from her bag with the two little ones. The people in the front row were so captivated by the aroma of the sweet potato cakes that they were almost dizzy.
