We stayed at the base for two weeks straight, and we used up quite a bit of firewood.
"We don't have much firewood left, what should we do?" Li Xiao looked at the firewood stored in her space, and more than half of it was already gone.
Burning it 24 hours a day, no matter how much firewood you have, it can't withstand that kind of burning.
"Is that all?" Cheng Shaolin asked.
"No, there are still some, just not many."
Cheng Shaolin looked at Yu Yanbin, and the two exchanged a glance, having made up their minds.
Seeing Yu Yanbin nod at him, Cheng Shaolin understood what it meant.
"Then let's go out and collect some. We'll just collect firewood, nothing else."
"Okay, the weather is cold now, and we need a lot of firewood. We should find more; it's always good to have some on hand."
Meng Yang, being the oldest, certainly has a lot on his mind.
"Thank you so much, then we'll head out tomorrow."
That was the decision made, and the next day everyone set off to ski towards the city.
"Should we still go to that small county town? There probably isn't much left in the city," Shao Jie asked Captain Yu Yanbin.
Yu Yanbin thought about it for a moment and agreed that it was possible. "Okay, let's go there."
"Alright, let's go." Shao Jie took the lead and sped off in a flash.
"Wuhu—", the skis were indeed fast, and the speed was really fast.
"Hurry up, let's see who gets there first."
"Tch, do you think you're fast just because you're a speed-type skier?"
Xiao Peng didn't think he would lose, and he quickly glided forward as well.
They glided quickly across the snow, seemingly arriving at their destination in no time.
Upon reaching their destination, everyone split up to find something that could be burned.
Li Xiao then ransacked every room and building.
Whether it's tables, chairs, cabinets, or shelves, anything that can be burned will be destroyed.
After she finished looting her own area, she went to collect what the others had found.
I spent a whole day collecting them, and the space was completely filled with wooden products.
"Phew—, this should keep the fire burning for a while."
Despite the cold weather, Shao Jie was working up a sweat.
"Don't be fooled by the amount; even if it burns all day long, it might not last more than a few days."
"Ah, you're right."
Before dark, the group returned to the base.
At this time, the base was pitch black, without a single ray of light.
Only a few bonfires burning on the city wall were like beacons in the darkness, pointing the way for everyone.
"Hurry up, start a fire first."
Throw a few pieces of firewood into the fireplace, then quickly throw in a few small ash balls, and in an instant, a roaring fire is burning.
Everyone took off their ski suits and shoes before sitting down and gathering around the fireplace to warm themselves.
After resting enough, Li Xiao started preparing dinner again.
The days passed in this cold wind, seemingly peaceful, but actually cruel and merciless.
Meanwhile, Yan Bin and his group braved the howling north wind in the freezing cold and snow, enduring several attacks from mutated animals, before finally reaching Beijing.
"Oh my god, we've finally arrived."
When everyone saw the huge wall standing in the snow and ice not far away, the cold seemed to disappear, and a fire was rekindled in their hearts.
"Come on, let's go inside quickly and find a place to rest."
"Yes, yes, it's freezing cold."
The group of people were skiing on makeshift skis—wooden, plastic, composite boards, and all sorts of other materials.
They came in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and they looked rather disheveled.
I was stopped as soon as I got to the door.
Who is it?
Nobody's out and about anymore; nobody wants to freeze in this cold weather.
It's really rare to be able to see people, especially such a large group of them.
“We are a team from Yingzhou, escorting researchers to Beijing for research and study.” Yan Bin stepped aside, allowing the researchers behind him to stand in front.
The soldiers guarding the city gate checked the credentials Yan Bin and his group presented and finally let them pass.
Guided by the soldiers, Yan Bin's team arrived at the Beijing Municipal Government building. After some conversation, they were finally accommodated in a building in Beijing by the city officials.
A group of people lived on three floors, and thanks to the support from the city of Beijing, it wasn't too cold.
The weather changed suddenly, catching everyone off guard.
Yan Bin and the others only felt at ease after entering the Beijing base.
I'm always worried about leaving home.
Those with superpowers are alright; although their physical condition has improved, the weather is too harsh for them to handle, and they also feel cold.
The researchers were the ones who felt the most uncomfortable.
Some of the researchers are ordinary people. Asking them to travel in this cold, snowy landscape, braving the howling north wind and temperatures as low as -60°C, doesn't sound pleasant at all.
Yan Bin tried many methods to prevent them from dying.
The temperature is too low, and even superhumans have difficulty adapting to it, let alone these delicate researchers.
You can only travel for a while and then find a place to rest. You can't be exposed to the cold wind and snow for a long time, or it could be fatal.
And so, after much more time and procrastination, they finally arrived at the Beijing base.
Of course, he suffered greatly, but his life was saved.
This is a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.
Upon arriving at his destination, Yan Bin finally felt relieved.
"Captain Yan, are we alright now?"
Chen Shuang, the captain of the Speed Squad, asked along with his team member Zheng Zihao.
