Chapter 255 is back
Lu Xingtang's generosity made everyone work harder. As long as they were needed, they would never refuse or be lazy.
With someone's help, the tasks of Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo were not as heavy as before. Lu Xingtang pulled Ji Yanmo to the soapberry tree and looked at the ripe soapberries. They picked some and used them to make soapberry liquid. There were a lot of laundry detergents and washing powders in the space, really a lot, and they were all very easy to use.
But it would be a pity to waste soapnuts. After making the soapnut liquid, put it into a clean laundry detergent bottle, write the words "soapnut liquid" on it, and put it in the warehouse for future use.
After several days passed in the space, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo left the space to measure the temperature. They were surprised to find that the temperature had begun to rise. This was great news for Lu Xingtang and others, but the recovery speed was very slow. Now the temperature was still as low as minus 105 degrees Celsius. If they wanted to leave the space and start their journey home, they had to wait a little longer.
But Lu Xingtang and his friends waited for three months. They spent the entire year 2108 in the space, and when they came out of the space it was already February 15, 2109.
The temperature in Luoguo slowly rose to minus 50 degrees Celsius, which was much warmer than minus 110 degrees Celsius. So everyone put on their thermostatic clothes again, wrapped themselves like bears, and set off to leave Luoguo.
The temperature is still rising very slowly, only rising one or two degrees in three or two days, but it has improved a lot.
However, they still did not encounter the Luo people. Su Cheng looked at the white ice and snow: "Maybe the Luo people have escaped." If they stayed, they would only die.
After another two months, the temperature in Luo Country had risen above zero, and they arrived at the border between Luo Country and H Country. After another five days, they returned to the border of H Country.
Lu Xingtang sent the three teachers out of the space. The moment they saw the national gate, tears welled up in their eyes. They sighed that it was not easy for them to go home, "Finally, we are home."
Not long after entering the country, they met some people. They were military personnel. The government had specially sent a force to guard the Suihe border to prevent people from other governments from entering Country H. It was not that they did not want other survivors from the government to enter, but they were afraid of the danger they would bring. They had to nip the danger in the bud and not bring more danger to Country H.
The military saw Lu Xingtang and his group returning to Country H with great difficulty. Lu Xingtang had made preparations and had changed his clothes into tattered ones. Although they had eaten very well in the space during this period, they were working and training every day, so they looked very thin. Although they were not skin and bones, they had no meat on them.
The military brought them back to the army and let them rest temporarily in the army, because the government required that the survivors from other countries who returned must register their identities and obtain a new ID card so that they can use the ID card to enter and live in major bases.
Now the identity cards of all people in Country H have been changed. Unlike the previous ones, they do not have photos or the symbol of Country H, but they have numbers given by the GJ, and they can enter any base with the numbers.
Of course, GJ doesn't care about the base's requirements. He just hopes that the base can take in all the remaining survivors and not let the remaining survivors be sacrificed.
After inquiring, we found out that during the more than eight months that Lu Xingtang and his team were away from the country, no major natural disasters occurred in Country H, and no major natural disasters occurred in any region. The country was very stable.
Lu Xingtang's eyes lit up. Then, next, they could find a suitable location to build their own base.
After getting their ID cards, the troops gave them some dry food and water and asked them to go to the Bingcheng Base, which would take them in.
Lu Xingtang asked, "Excuse me, what's the status of the official base in the imperial capital?" When they left, the imperial capital was in the midst of a disaster or was destroyed by an earthquake. They never met anyone from the imperial capital afterwards and had no idea of the situation there.
"The Imperial Capital Base was destroyed by an earthquake. After the quake, with the help of Jicheng, Meng Province, and other provinces, the Imperial Capital Base has been successfully rebuilt. It's been doing very well over the years. If you don't want to go to the Ice City Base, you can go there. Judging from your accents, you should be from the Imperial Capital!"
"Yes, we are from the Imperial Capital! We have been on the run for many years and want to return to the Imperial Capital. The Imperial Capital will always be our home."
After leaving the Suihe National Gate, Lu Xingtang and the others found a deserted place. They all stopped and sat together to discuss: "Everyone knows a little about the situation in my space. I want to build a base of our own now, so let's discuss where it would be most appropriate to build the base!"
The military said that no major natural disasters occurred in Country H during the time they were away from there, which means that the situation was similar to before they left.
After thinking about it, Su Cheng said: "In the north, there are the Ice City Base and the Imperial Capital Base. In the south, the Sand City Base and the Hope Base are gone, and the Seoul Base has also been moved. We currently don't know where the Seoul Base has moved to, but there is still the Mountain City Base and the Spring City Base.
There's a military base in the northwest called Jiangcheng, and in the coastal area, Haicheng. Judging by the military's stance at the border, Haicheng is currently safe. I suggest building our base in the center of Country H. According to the map, the center of Country H is Lancheng in GS Province.
"Lancheng?" Lu Xingtang thought for a moment and said, "It's a nice place."
Lanzhou, located in the transition zone between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau, sits at an altitude of approximately 1,520 meters. Lanzhou enjoys a temperate continental climate with an average annual temperature of 10.3°C. Its topography is complex and diverse, encompassing a diverse mix of mountains, plateaus, plains, river valleys, deserts, and Gobi deserts. Summers are mild, and winters are mild. However, Lanzhou's location deep in the northwest inland limits the reach of warm, humid ocean air currents, resulting in limited rainfall and a dry climate across much of the city. However, water is not a shortage, as the Mother River flows through Lanzhou.
"Besides Lancheng, do you have any other suggestions?" Lu Xingtang asked.
Everyone subsequently suggested several cities, but Lu Xingtang rejected them. It wasn't that they were bad, but rather inferior. Finally, they settled on Lancheng, and Lu Xingtang took out a map to determine the route. Once the route was set, Lu Xingtang said, "We need to find a way to stockpile supplies. We can't rely on the space supply. Beyond food, clothing, and medicine, anything else in the space supply is easy to be targeted. We don't know how much trouble we'll encounter along the way, so we must stockpile supplies."
Everyone agrees on this point: space is their backing, not their dependence.
"So, do you want to go to the Ice City base?" There were no people from Heilongjiang Province on their group, but if someone wanted to enter Ice City for asylum and not go with everyone to Lancheng to establish a base, they would ask around. After asking around, no one wanted to go to the Ice City base, but: "I want to go back to the Imperial Capital to take a look!"
