Chapter 420 She has mysophobia
"Doctor, why are you all feeling unwell?" Sun Ziqing said, "Huh?", then reached out and patted his head, "I understand, it's probably because the temperature rose yesterday and you insisted on going out to see the snow."
Zhang Ruijie listened to his words, looked at the group of old, weak and disabled people, smiled secretly, but did not show it on his face.
He looked at Song Qian who was checking his backpack next to him, and suggested, "Captain Song, should we load the supplies first this morning?"
Song Qian tightened his combat gloves: "Yes."
Zhang Ruijie: "Or, let the doctors stay downstairs to rest, we will load the supplies and call them before we are ready to set off?"
"They are old, and it is really not easy for us to get up so early." He Tianyu next to him also said.
Song Qian hesitated for a second before saying, "Well, no problem."
"Doctor, you should have a good rest downstairs." Song Qian said, and patted Sun Jingtao on the shoulder, "Old Sun, why don't you be downstairs too? If we need anything upstairs, you can take care of it immediately."
Sun Jingtao: "Okay."
Su Dai looked at Song Qian and grabbed Sun Jingtao's arm, "Honey, I want to go with you too. Anyway, we are all carrying heavy objects, and Xiao Xie and the others will come later."
Zhang Ruijie couldn't help but smile, "I'll do your share for you."
"Thank you, Brother Jie." Su Dai hurriedly thanked him sweetly.
Without further delay, everyone went upstairs in the dark, except for Sun Jingtao and his wife and the remaining old scientists.
Upstairs, Ye Qing and Kong Wu had already woken up and were waiting for everyone.
"Where's Jiang Yan?" Zhang Ruijie realized that he didn't see Jiang Yan in the crowd downstairs or upstairs.
Ye Qing said lightly, "She has something to do."
Everyone stopped asking.
It's said that they were packing supplies, and now the remaining supplies of everyone have been consumed a lot compared to before.
Most of the time, they bundled the collected pine wood, pots and pans, and the remaining food onto the sled.
During the time at the observatory, they had no shortage of firewood.
However, the pine trees produced a lot of smoke, so Lin Xiaohui and Su Dai simply made a lot of smoked meat and barbecued meat from the animals they had hunted before.
There were still more than 100 kilograms of these foods left.
The rest was divided among each person, and they kept some with them for emergency use.
When several soldiers were moving the red sleds down from the upstairs, Zhang Ruijie and He Tianyu were shocked.
"These sleds seem to be from the Musen base. How did you get them?"
"Fate." Ye Qing said coldly, and ignored Zhang Ruijie's inquiring expression. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Brother Jie, the temperature has risen a lot recently. I guess there are a lot of people and animals out looking for food. Are you sure the marks you made are still there?"
Zhang Ruijie patted his chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, even if the marks are gone, I can still bring you back to the base smoothly!"
"That's good." Ye Qingqing said, and took a few torches and handed them to a few people.
These torches were made by Sun Jingtao and his team with pine branches during this period.
The hollow top of the torch was stuffed with a lot of wood chips, and the pine branches were rich in pine resin. It took less than a minute to put them on the fire and they quickly ignited.
"Let's go."
Some people were responsible for lighting with torches, and some people started to carry supplies. The cooperation was quite orderly.
However, the temperature was too low, and the sled was very slippery. Everyone's hands and feet were frozen, and their movements were clumsy and slow.
The supplies that should have been loaded in half an hour took almost an hour to load.
The men Zhang Ruijie brought with him fed the two musk oxen with some water and dry sawdust.
There were finally some bright colors on the horizon.
There were some fine snowflakes floating in the sky.
Ye Qing and Song Qian looked at each other and looked into the distance at the same time:
I hope they are overthinking, and that He Tianyu's flare last night was exchanged for comrades, not the enemy.
After the supplies were loaded and unloaded, Zhang Ruijie looked at the two snowmobiles with his eyes wide open.
"You actually have this!!" He reached out to touch the front of the car and couldn't help swallowing, "Can I be responsible for riding one of these cars later?"
A soldier next to him sneered secretly and muttered to another soldier: "This abacus bead is about to jump on my face."
"Sorry, no." Ye Qing shook his head and asked him, "Besides, don't we have reinforcements? They should have better transportation equipment, right? They can't just come to find us on foot?"
There are also many snow transportation equipment such as snowmobiles, snowmobiles and sleds in the Yaoben base.
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot." Zhang Ruijie smiled embarrassedly, took the telescope from his waist and looked into the distance.
"Hey, why haven't we seen any traces of people yet?"
"Could it be that they didn't receive the signal last night?" He Tianyu walked over, "How about I send another flare before dawn?"
Zhang Ruijie frowned: "How many more?"
"One." He Tianyu said, lowering his voice a little, "I'll stand here and fire, and the positioning will be more accurate."
"Okay."
"Bang-"
"Swoosh-"
Another red flare flew into the air.
Everyone looked at the flare, feeling a little uneasy.
Ten minutes later, there was still silence in the telescope.
Everyone was standing at the door, feeling cold, so they left two people on duty and went back into the house.
"How about we go by ourselves?" Song Qian glanced at Zhang Ruijie and asked tentatively.
Zhang Ruijie frowned, "How about we wait a little longer."
"Then you wait, I'll go to the side and take a look." Song Qian said, and called Qin Lang to go out together.
Zhang Ruijie's eyes paused slightly on the sniper rifles on the two men, but he didn't say anything.
A few minutes later, He Tianyu, who was in charge of guarding the door, finally saw another flare in the telescope.
"Brother Jie, there is a response! It is estimated to be only three kilometers away from us!"
"Okay!" Zhang Ruijie's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhao Yougong and said, "Brother Zhao, you can go and call Dr. Song and the others upstairs in a while."
Zhao Yougong: "Okay."
Zhang Ruijie looked around again and frowned, "Hey, why don't I see Miss Jiang?"
Xiqin gave him a look, "Brother Jie, Miss Jiang doesn't seem to live in the seed bank downstairs."
Lin Xiaohui explained, "She has mysophobia, likes quietness, and doesn't like crowded places, so she lives upstairs alone."
Jiang Yan has not lived with them since the AS area.
She doesn't like crowded places, she knows.
As for mysophobia, she guessed it. After all,
it is inevitable for a bunch of men to get together, snoring, grinding teeth, and farting.
Although the men's area and the women's area are separated by a distance, and it is in the end-of-the-world environment, everyone doesn't have so many taboos.
However, just because she and Su Dai can accept it doesn't mean Jiang Yan can accept it.
Mo Shiyao can't accept it either, but she has no choice.
Jiang Yan obviously had a choice.
"Why don't I go up and call her? It's so cold, and a girl--" Xiqin glanced at Zhang Ruijie and immediately prepared to turn around and go upstairs.
Before Lin Xiaohui called her, she saw Jiang Yan, fully armed, walking out of the corridor.
Seeing her, Xiqin smiled politely, "Ms. Jiang, good morning."
Zhang Ruijie's frown immediately relaxed.
"Good morning." Jiang Yan replied lazily, looking like she hadn't woken up yet.
