The harvest festival at the base was very successful.
Food was laid out in a long row, and almost everyone ate to their heart's content. When they were full, the lanterns were lit at night, and everyone began to perform.
Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi did not have any performance items.
They were purely spectators in the audience.
To their surprise, there were not many spectators in the audience, or in other words, there were not many pure spectators.
Almost half of the people in the base signed up to perform on stage. The performances were of various forms. Singing and dancing were just small scenes. Acrobatics, fighting, crosstalk... almost everyone in their base had special skills.
Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi held hands side by side in the lively crowd and watched almost the whole thing from beginning to end.
This performance was much more interesting than they had imagined.
The children were the happiest when the base held such a large-scale event. Countless children ran from here to there and participated in it completely.
Xia Lunong turned his head to look at the lively base and suddenly said, "My brother and his friends are really amazing."
"We are also amazing." Kong Zhi put his arm around his shoulders and said, "This is just the beginning, and it will get better and better in the future."
After the base held the Harvest Festival, they were going out again.
This time they brought summer pepper with them.
The summer pepper is less than three meters long, and the armored vehicle can just fit it.
Xia Lunong looked at the long armored vehicle and said with emotion, "It feels so safe to go out in such an armored vehicle."
"We have more than just armored vehicles." Yan Xinian got in the car and installed the walkie-talkie. "This trip is planned to last for six days. Xiao Nong, check if we have brought all the things with us?"
"Yes, we have checked it twice. There is a bamboo tube with space. We have brought everything we can. We should not be short of supplies this time."
"Good guy, thank you for your help." Yan Xinian patted him on the shoulder. "With you here, it's more and more comfortable to go out."
Xia Huoqu sat in the passenger seat, wearing a pair of sunglasses, and said rather coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get ready to go. If you keep talking, it will be dark."
Yan Xinian smiled and started the armored vehicle.
They drove a total of three armored vehicles this time.
The two armored vehicles at the back were driven by Ba Niu and Lao Liu respectively.
They had all received emergency training and had some knowledge of armored vehicles, and they were barely able to drive them.
The car slowly drove out of the base.
Xia Lunong didn't know what to do for the time being, so he took the time to catch up on his sleep.
Once outside, his superpowers would be of great use, so he had to take the time to cultivate his superpowers.
The shockproof performance of the armored vehicle is much better.
The seats in the car can be pulled out for sleeping.
Xia Lunong fastened his seat belt and wrapped himself in a quilt, and fell asleep quickly.
He had a dream.
The dream was very vague, and he himself couldn't explain clearly what he dreamed about, but he knew it was a good thing.
He had realized this in his dream, and kept reminding himself to write it down. He must remember it.
When Kong Zhi woke him up in the evening, he looked at Kong Zhi blankly.
Kong Zhi rarely saw him with such a confused expression on his face. He reached out and touched his forehead, frowned, and asked him: "Why do you look like this? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell or hungry? There are snacks in your backpack. I'll find them for you."
Xia Huoqu heard a few words and turned around to ask: "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Is it urgent? Do you need medicine?"
Xia Lunong was still immersed in his dream and couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
He shook his head blankly and sat there in a daze, hugging the quilt.
The voice in his heart was still reminding him that he must remember. He only remembered the three words "must remember", but he didn't remember what he had to remember.
Xia Huoqu frowned and walked over, gently touching his cheek, "You've been sleeping stupidly, why are you so nervous?"
Xia Huoqu's hands were very warm.
Xia Lunong felt his brother's touch and woke up a little.
He looked at Kong Zhi, then at his brother, then he held his brother's wrist, pulled his brother's hand down, and said, "I dreamed of something special, but now I don't remember what I dreamed about."
Yan Xinian laughed beside him, "Did you dream about the truth of the world? I remember a joke. A man dreamed of a very important theorem, but he didn't remember it when he woke up. He was very upset. When he went to bed the next day, he put a piece of paper on the bedside table and decided to get up and write it down immediately after the dream. Sure enough, he dreamed of the important theorem again in the middle of the night, and then successfully wrote it down. Hey, guess what happened?"
Xia Huoqu gave him a cold look, "Are jokes funny?"
Yan Xinian immediately retracted his neck, " It was just a joke, let's relax for a while."
Xia Lunong realized it belatedly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yan Xinian laughed twice, and the third laugh was forcibly retracted under Xia Huoqu's gaze, and shrugged, "He wrote 'yellow bananas are delicious'."
Xia Lunong was brought back to her senses by his sneer, and said, "I feel that what I dreamed about may not be everyday things, but something new. It is a bit similar to my prophecy, but I can't remember what it was for the time being."
Xia Huoqu immediately became nervous and asked, "Is it about the direction of a major disaster?"
Xia Lunong had foreseen earthquakes and tsunamis, but that was a long time ago, and he hadn't predicted such things for half a year.
Xia Lunong shook her head, "It's not a disaster, it's something positive and may be very good for our base, but I can't remember it for the moment."
Yan Xinian interrupted, "It's like dreaming about the winning lottery numbers? You can have a hunch that if you write it down, you will win."
"It feels a bit similar, it may be related to our itinerary this time. I will try to dream again tonight to see if I can dream about it again. If I can, I will write it down tonight."
Xia Huoqu patted his shoulder, "Don't be too stressed. If you are destined to be with us, you will be able to dream about it sooner or later. If not, forget it."
Xia Lunong nodded.
They went downstairs to eat.
It didn't snow in the past two days, and the snow was almost melted. It was very dry outside, but the howling north wind kept blowing, making their cheeks hurt.
Xia Lunong tried hard to recall his dream, trying to remember some details, but he couldn't remember anything.
He looked listless, and no one asked him to work. Instead, they went to cut grass and chop wood, and then set up pots to boil water and cook.
We had hot pot that night.
Several people brought ingredients, and because they came from different families, everyone brought different ingredients. It was best to wash them before eating hot pot.
Xia Lunong contributed his family's special chili sauce as usual.
Old Liu contributed special soy sauce and vinegar. These were new recipes they found when they went out to collect supplies in the spring. The brewed soy sauce and vinegar tasted particularly good and were perfect as dipping sauces.
Xia Lunong ate absent-mindedly.
Old Liu and the others also heard that he had dreamed of something special today.
Seeing him like this, Old Liu comforted him, "Eat first if you have anything to say. It won't be too late to think about it slowly after dinner. Anyway, we won't leave until tomorrow morning. Maybe you will dream about it tonight."
Xia Lunong nodded and suddenly asked, "Brother Liu, have you found a lot of new supplies when you went out recently?"
Old Liu was stunned for a moment, put down his chopsticks and looked at him, "I don't quite understand what this means?"
Xiao Tang next to him also asked, "What do you mean by finding a lot of new houses? When we go out, we always find all kinds of things for various reasons, some of which are special. Does this count?"
Xia Lunong slowly organized her words and said, "This doesn't count. I "I mean, have you seen anything unique after a catastrophe, such as new plants or new animals?"
Old Liu said quickly, "Wow, this is very difficult to distinguish. You know there are so many mutated plants and animals nowadays. When they didn't mutate, we could hardly recognize them. Now that they have mutated, it is even more difficult to recognize them. Even if we find them, we may not recognize them."
Xia Lunong seemed to be thoughtful, "That's not what I mean. What I mean is, have you found anything so special and strange that everyone thinks it must be a new thing that didn't exist before the catastrophe."
Old Liu and Xiao Tang shook their heads in unison.
Baniu also muttered, "Except for that honeysuckle, we haven't seen anything particularly strange."
Xia Lunong felt that the honeysuckle was not strange in that direction, and he frowned and fell into deep thought again.
Xia Huoqu asked, "What new things did you see in your dream?"
"It feels like it might be." Xia Lunong said, "I thought about it for a long time, and it feels like it's not something we can usually see. Maybe my dream is reminding me that we will discover some new species or something else on this trip."
New species are amazing.
Everyone looked at Lao Liu.
Old Liu shook his head like a wave drum, "That's really not the case. We didn't go far away. We just searched in the nearby towns. The probability of finding something new is too low. We only found animals and plants that were mutated extremely strongly. We haven't seen the others."
Xia Lunong's heart moved, "Are there any places where the mutated animals and plants are extremely mutated? The kind that you can tell at a glance that they are unusual."
"That's really not the case. In all the big cities, the mutant plants are particularly powerful. It may be because they kill each other and accumulate more harmful substances. In other places, it's just normal, and there's no place where the mutations are particularly strong."
Xia Lunong always felt that there was something blocking his heart, and he just needed a flash of inspiration.
But that flash of inspiration was too hard to find. He thought about it for so long, but couldn't hold it back.
Xia Lunong was not a combatant. After having an armored vehicle, the difficulty of their night watch was greatly reduced, and it was not his turn to keep watch.
After dinner, he sat outside for a while and soon returned to the car.
Kong Zhi's night watch time was not so early, so he got in the car to accompany him first.
Seeing him sitting on the bed, still thinking hard, Kong Zhi rubbed his head, "Do you want to continue sleeping now?"
Xia Lunong looked into his eyes and muttered, "I've been sleeping all day, and I can't fall asleep. I always feel that I will remember it soon, but I can't remember it at all."
He hit his forehead as he said that.
Kong Zhi took the electronic reader, turned it on, and said to him, "How about I read to you?"
Xia Lunong was a poor student. Usually, when he heard those particularly serious philosophy books, he would fall asleep within ten minutes.
He compromised and nodded.
Kong Zhi gently touched his forehead and read to him beside him, and he soon fell asleep successfully.
Less than half an hour after sleeping, he really dreamed of that particularly important thing.
