Chapter 165 I Want to Leave the Base
"Sister Tang, do you know you gave me the clothes?" Su Cheng didn't want a set of clothes to affect their relationship, especially since it was a thermostatic suit. Although he hadn't worn it before the apocalypse, he had heard that it was very expensive!
"I know. She agreed to give it to you, and only to you!" As he said that, he returned the clothes to Su Cheng and asked Su Cheng to put them on immediately.
Su Cheng looked at the constant temperature clothing in his hand, his eyes moist. Although the people in the base respected him very much, only Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo really cared about him.
After Su Cheng put on the constant temperature suit, he felt the eternal love and his eyes became moist again. So he was full of motivation and began to work hard to ensure that all the survivors in the base were well fed and clothed.
They began to expand the planting areas or farms, grow more grains and vegetables, and asked everyone to bring back fruit tree seedlings if they saw them when they went out to look for supplies. Regardless of whether they could wait until the fruits were ripe, planting fruit trees in the base was also everyone's expectation for the future.
Lu Xingtang took the opportunity to find a lot of fruit tree seedlings from the space. When he and Ji Yanmo went out to look for supplies, he took out some fruit tree seedlings according to local conditions and asked everyone to transplant them to the base.
With the addition of greenery to the base, everyone’s mood improved.
Time flew by, and another month passed. It was already the end of the year, and 2103 was about to arrive. Su Cheng began to worry about the New Year celebrations at the base. This was their first year after the natural disaster, and they had to live a little more comfortably. So he asked Ji Yanmo to calculate all the supplies currently in the base to see if every household could eat meat during the New Year. Even if they could only eat a few slices of meat, they had to have meat to eat.
This request... Ji Yanmo rolled his eyes at Su Cheng. "Do you really think our base is so rich? Every household can eat meat! Eating meat is unlikely, but every household can get an extra two or three kilograms of food during the New Year."
Su Cheng smiled: "Then take two kilograms of food. After our base recovers next year, we will distribute meat to everyone at the end of the year."
Ji Yanmo looked at Su Cheng's smug face speechlessly, and slapped him on the face, "Restore the base's production!"
During the Chinese New Year, Su Cheng distributed two kilograms of food to each household. It was not enough, but it made the survivors of the base excited. "Thank you, base commander, thank you to all the managers of the base, thank you!" The words of thanks kept circling over the base, deafening, and everyone could hear them clearly.
It was also the happiest year for all the survivors since the outbreak of the apocalypse. They suddenly no longer feared or terrified of natural disasters.
In 2103, the base fully entered production, supplies gradually became abundant, and people's lives became more and more fulfilling. Especially when Ji Yanmo and Lu Xingtang went out to look for supplies, they actually brought back several piglets. Some professionals came forward and said that one of the pigs they found was a sow.
When they learned that there were sows, everyone in the base was excited. What does this mean? As long as they raise pigs well, they will be able to achieve pork freedom in time.
Everyone thanked Ji Yanmo, Lu Xingtang and their team, which made them full of hope for the future.
There are pigs in the base, but there is only one sow, and she is quite old. If it was before the acid rain and fog, this old sow might have been slaughtered. But after the acid rain and fog, there are very few pigs left, and it is an old sow. What if she has the chance to give birth to a piglet?
Seeing the happy smiling faces, Lu Xingtang felt that it was a good thing that he took out the one-month-old pig from the space.
Because Lu Xingtang, Ji Yanmo and others found the pigs, when everyone was looking for supplies, they would subconsciously look for pigs or small animals such as pheasants and rabbits, and bring them back to the base to raise them.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo drove out again to search for supplies. They were away for a little longer, but this time they "brought back" five chicks, three ducklings, a gosling, and 30 eggs about to hatch. They also found seven dead wolves, six wild boars, a litter of rabbits, firewood, some herbal seedlings, and a bunch of wild onions and leeks. While searching for supplies, they came across a millstone, but Lu Xingtang didn't store it in his space, so he put it in the car and took it back with him.
Because Lu Xingtang and his team brought back a lot of supplies this time, everyone formed a group to go out and look for supplies, and kept adding small animals to the base. No matter what kind of animal it was, even a snake, they had to bring it back.
So in the spring, everyone's enthusiasm for finding supplies became more and more intense, as if they were in a competition. As a result, the supplies in the base became more and more abundant. Su Cheng did not want everyone to be in danger in order to find supplies, so he gave each person a small bottle of safflower oil, a medicine that was newly researched after the hospital was rebuilt. Although there was not much medicine, anyone who went out to find supplies was given a detoxification pill, an anti-inflammatory pill and safflower oil, in case of emergency.
Seeing that Su Cheng was so considerate in giving them medicine, everyone respected Su Cheng as the base commander even more. They all said that they would put their own lives first and would never take any risks.
Lu Xingtang once joked about Su Cheng, saying that if Su Cheng was an emperor in ancient times, he would definitely be a wise ruler who cared about the country and the people, or a wise ruler with incorruptible conduct!
When Ji Yanmo saw that the base had resumed production and people's lives were getting better and better, he began to think about living outside the base.
This idea has never faded since it sprouted. When spring came and flowers bloomed, Ji Yanmo expressed his thoughts while hugging Lu Xingtang in bed: "My dear wife, I want to leave the base and live outside, just like we used to live in Qing'an Peak."
When Lu Xingtang heard this while she was drowsy, she opened her eyes slightly and looked at his expectant face: "Do you think Su Cheng will let us leave? If you can convince Su Cheng, I will leave the base with you."
Living in the base, they have always been terrified, afraid of exposing the secrets of each other's space, and even more afraid of exposing the secret that Ji Yanmo's blood has self-healing abilities and superpowers.
Moving away from the base is the safest option for them who have secrets.
"I'll tell Su Cheng tomorrow! Whether Su Cheng agrees or not, I can't wait to take you away!" Suddenly, Ji Yanmo whispered in Lu Xingtang's ear, "At least tonight, we can be happier!"
“!!! Go to sleep!” Lu Xingtang shrank his neck, closed his eyes, and pretended not to be shy.
The next day, Ji Yanmo actually went to Su Cheng to talk about leaving the base. Su Cheng's face turned dark and he ignored Ji Yanmo and left.
Ji Yanmo: “!!!” He knew this guy wouldn’t agree: “Su Cheng, if you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as your consent. Once I find a suitable location, I’ll take my wife away!”
Su Cheng paused: "I! Don't! Agree!!" He turned around and looked at Ji Yanmo resentfully: "Take back your words. I can pretend nothing happened!"
