He Tianming has distinctive features, and even though he is obviously thin and old, Jiang Ning recognized him at the first sight.
His face was calm, but his heart was still in turmoil.
The butcher knife of the end times is particularly sharp.
I still remember the first time I met He Tianming. He was gentle and calm. Even though he later experienced even worse disasters, he was promoted from the head of Aoyuan to the deputy mayor of Fengcheng.
Time has aged our appearance, but has also enriched our temperament.
But now he is a withered old man.
He was so thin that he seemed like he could be easily blown down by the Arctic wind.
Jiang Ning had mixed feelings, but his face remained calm. After Ivante's introduction, he showed the appropriate expression of meeting a fellow villager in a foreign land.
"What a fate. I didn't expect that we are both from Fengcheng."
After the greetings, Ivante led everyone to work.
They brought wooden stakes and steel from the transport ship to expand the area of the igloo.
First select a piece of land, tamp the snow repeatedly to make it firm, then use a sharp long knife or saw blade to cut it into large snow bricks, and stack them up one by one.
As it concerns the supply of green vegetables, Ivante is particularly concerned about the igloo. "Jiang, it will take a long time for the snow bricks to freeze into ice cubes. You should find a way to melt the snow into water."
So Jiang Ning took Dou Dou to collect snow from outside, boiled it, and carried it out in a wooden barrel.
Ivante took a spoon and gently sprinkled it on the snow bricks.
At dozens of degrees below zero, the snow and water quickly merged and froze, and the hardness continued to increase.
The project was huge, so Jiang Ning provided the meals.
The baked potatoes and crocodile meat were exchanged with Ivant before.
It was roasted in the igloo. Everyone sat around the fire, roasting potatoes or meat, and taking a big gulp of vodka. It was so refreshing.
Jiang Ning cracked a few crocodile eggs into the boiling iron pot, and then threw in a few handfuls of vegetables.
As soon as the pot is opened, it is snatched away so quickly that people can't wait to reach into the pot to scoop it out.
Ivante ate very quickly and spoke in a particularly hypocritical manner, "Jiang, Huo, why aren't you eating?"
Jiang Ning smiled, "You have worked hard today, eat more."
After drinking the egg drop vegetable soup, Ivante ate the crocodile meat with big mouthfuls. "If there is chili and some cumin, it will be perfect."
I miss Chinese barbecue, hotpot, stewed food and soy milk.
Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen only ate potatoes and would not touch any food that they were not sure was 100% safe.
As for Doudou, neither of them allowed her to show up.
When a girl grows up, her pretty face can bloom in prosperous times, but it is not a good thing in the end times.
There are more and more survivors in the Arctic, and the Russian bears are following the old path of their former big brother, constantly recruiting troops and expanding their strength.
The vast majority of survivors are men. What if one day they become lustful and have inappropriate thoughts about Doudou?
Therefore, Doudou tries not to show his face, and even if he does, he will wrap himself up so that only his eyes are exposed.
The heartless couple became more vigilant after being beaten and would not make any sound unless there was something special.
Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen followed to help, and the igloo was finally built around dusk.
The place is quite spacious, more than enough for growing vegetables, but I am worried that the snow bricks are not strong enough and will suddenly collapse.
"Jiang, please trust my skills. It will definitely keep you warm and safe." Ivante said confidently, "Make a fire and bake it. The hot water vapor will float upwards and freeze into ice in the house, making it more solid."
Jiang Ning thanked them and saw them out.
She didn't talk too much to He Tianming and the others, saying goodbye to them all equally, "Be careful on the road."
Ivante waved, "Jiang, Huo, Happy New Year."
They both said in unison, "Happy New Year."
Jiang Ning noticed that He Tianming's expression was a little complicated, but he quickly returned to his numb and dull look.
On the way back, Ivante happened to be riding on the same snowmobile as He Tianming.
Seeing him sitting there in a daze, Ivante thought, "He, are you afraid of us?"
He Tianming came back to his senses, "Before the natural disaster, our two countries were very friendly, and you rescued us from the joint base. We can't thank you enough, so how could we be afraid of you?"
Ivante smiled slyly, "But, I always feel that you are afraid of us."
"I am indeed afraid." He Tianming did not rush to refute, "I am not afraid of you, but I am afraid of all the survivors.
Natural disasters devour human nature. I have seen people eating their own children and brothers killing each other, but all of this is forced by the end of the world.
If given a choice, no one would want to do this, but reality forces them to do evil. Many people are angels today, but they may be demons tomorrow, so fear is human instinct. "
He Tianming looked at Ivante calmly, "Do you understand what I mean?"
Ivante didn't answer directly, "Actually, Jiang and Huo are very good people. They know medicine and have saved our teammates.
They are your compatriots. If you want to leave, I can go and communicate with them. I believe they will be willing to lend a helping hand and take you in.
Then you can grow vegetables and trade with us, we are all friends."
Unexpectedly, He Tianming shook his head and said, "When it comes to life and death, even fathers and sons will draw their swords against each other. What's the point of brotherhood? I am quite satisfied with the current situation. As long as I work, I can get food.
Natural disasters are not easy for anyone, and I don’t want to rely on anyone for help, so I won’t bother them.”
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Ivante said nothing more.
The motorcycle roared through the ice and snow and soon returned to the camp.
He Tianming and his companions each received two baked potatoes from the cafeteria and returned to the underwater fortress to rest.
This is their dinner today, which is just enough to make them 50% full.
Yang Weimin sat over and asked, "Is Maozi testing you again?"
"You'll get used to it." He Tianming peeled off the burnt black soil skin and put it into his mouth, chewing it slowly. "I'm afraid that the young dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon."
Yang Weimin frowned, he was indeed right.
The Russians destroyed the joint base, but it is slowly becoming a joint base.
They recruited more than half of the prisoners, and during this period they were also actively recruiting soldiers and troops to subdue batches of survivors who landed in the Arctic.
Yang Weimin was feeling uneasy. "I heard that a group of our country's survivors landed a while ago. There were more than 200 survivors in total. Not only did the Russians not recruit them, but they became more wary of us after they came back."
He Tianming nodded. "This guy named Ivante seems to be very nice to Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen, but he is actually on guard against them in secret."
It's a matter of survival, it's extremely complicated and hard to describe in a few words.
Yang Weimin couldn't understand, "Since they were so wary of us, why didn't they just kill us quietly?"
Hurry up and add a picture. Today's city weather, does it feel like a natural disaster? (Group download pictures, pictures deleted)
