There has been nothing new in the base over the past year, and everyone has been living a relatively stable life.

Now that a new site is being built at the foot of the mountain, the entire base is a bit restless.

This is also the reason why the plain at the foot of the mountain seems to be particularly busy.

Xia Huoqu briefly introduced the situation and said, "We went out so many times to collect supplies and brought back many machines. Now they are finally put to use. Everyone is very active."

Xia Lunong was more concerned about the ownership of the site. He approached his brother and whispered, "How is the plain below divided? Whoever builds it owns it?"

Xia Huoqu glanced at him and said, "Of course not. We dredged the river, hired people to build the power grid, and cleaned the plain. The land is ours. Old Liu and his people just rented our land." Xia Lunong

breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and muttered, "That's better. We have been busy for so long, we can't just do things for others."

His brother raised his chin, "Do you think your old brother and I are so easy to talk to?"

"I'm worried, aren't I?" Xia Lunong went over to give his brother a back massage, smiling, "Brother, guess what we brought back this time?"

Xia Huoqu asked, "Meteorite?"

"Yes! But it's not a whole meteorite, but meteorite fragments." Xia Lunong took out a space bamboo tube and showed it to his brother like a treasure, "Everything is in it. We are not sure whether this meteorite is radioactive, so we dare not pour it out."

Xia Huoqu asked, "Then there were no accidents in the process of taking the meteorite?"

"Not at all, it went very smoothly. You won't believe it, but I first dreamed about the meteorite, and then I found it with Kong Zhi following the clues in the dream." Xia Lunong said, "When we took these meteorite fragments, we also asked Yue Ji to go over and help us. There are a lot of Yue Ji bodies, so there is no risk."

Xia Huoqu wanted to observe these meteorite fragments, but he couldn't see anything through the space bamboo tube.

He weighed the space bamboo tube and said, "What are you going to do with these meteorite fragments?"

"Kong Zhi and I have discussed it, and we plan to send them to the Bailou and let professionals deal with them." Xia Lunong asked, "Brother, what do you think of this method?"

"Very good." Xia Huoqu handed the space bamboo tube back to him and said, "Are you hungry? I'll go cook."

Xia Lunong was not hungry at first, but when he heard his brother ask this, his stomach immediately growled.

He reached out and touched his stomach, saying, "A little bit. Brother, what's at home?"

"Not much, just some radishes, cabbages, and two large pieces of frozen venison. What do you want to eat? I'll go to the cafeteria to change it for you."

Just as Xia Huoqu was talking, Yan Xinian's voice came from outside, "Xiao Nong, Kong Zhi, you're back, did you get any results?"

"Brother Xinian!" Xia Lunong turned around and went out to greet him. She saw him holding a big fish in his hand and asked happily while leaning on the door, "How did you know we were back?"

"Your beast forms are so conspicuous that almost the entire base knew about it when you flew in from the sky." Yan Xinian smiled, "I asked the canteen to replace a big fish for me. Let's have boiled fish tonight."

Xia Lunong smiled and gave his brother a thumbs up, "I really like it!"

Xia Lunong is the best cook in the family, and he didn't want to waste such a big mutant fish, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and cooked by himself, and everyone else helped him.

Xia Lunong deftly removed the scales and fins of the fish. "Brother Xinian, we were just discussing the plain at the foot of the mountain. You guys are moving too fast, aren't you?"

Yan Xinian said, "We have nothing to do. Didn't we transport a batch of tool trucks back earlier? Now we can work seamlessly. Everyone in the base can also save more supplies for the New Year."

While cooking, several people discussed the plain, meteorites, mutant plants, and people from other bases.

Yan Xinian said, "You mentioned the talent issue before. I've thought about it these days. We really need to attract talent. The base has limited capacity and can't accommodate too many people. Now it depends on the plain at the foot of the mountain."

Xia Lunong asked, "The plain has just started construction. Will anyone be willing to come?"

"Why not?" Yan Xinian said, "Our base is well-known for its kindness, and the resources on the plain are also abundant. If you rush over now, you can be the first batch of residents and have the title of pioneers. Maybe you can eat meat. Those who rush over later may only be able to drink soup."

Xia Lunong knew what he said when he said this, and asked with a smile: "Then have you done anything?"

Yan Xinian also smiled, "Nothing special, just some rumors, how many people can be attracted, and what kind of people are attracted, is not something we can control."

Yan Xinian has always been very cunning, and Xia Lunong is not worried that he will suffer a loss. After asking a few questions, he did not ask any more questions.

Yan Xinian asked about what they encountered when they went out again.

Xia Lunong told him everything.

Kong Zhi and Xia Huoqu were quiet people, busying themselves silently beside them, listening to their conversation and only saying one or two words when necessary.

Xia Lunong moved quickly, and the four of them prepared dinner together again. It only took half an hour, and three dishes and a soup were served on the table.

Xia Lunong handed the first bowl of rice to his brother, "Hurry up and eat. When I was outside, I was looking forward to coming back tonight to have a good meal and a good rest."

"Don't eat too fast, be careful of fish bones." Yan Xinian warned, and then said, "We are all more free recently, so leave the rest to us."

Xia Lunong smiled, "I was waiting for you to say this."

After the four of them finished their meal, Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi went to take a shower.

Xia Lunong hadn't washed his hair for so many days outside. After finally returning home, he finally had a good wash.

After washing his hair, he was so tired that he couldn't even open his eyes. He groaned and complained to Kong Zhi and didn't want to move.

Kong Zhi was behind him using a hair dryer to blow his hair.

Xia Lunong's scalp was massaged by Kong Zhi's big hand. The warm wind blew in waves, making him feel numb and drowsy.

He simply lay back, leaning on Kong Zhi's broad chest, and closed his eyes.

Kong Zhi rubbed his hair, "Your hair has grown longer again. It's almost blocking your eyes. Do you want to cut it shorter?"

"No, it's cold." Xia Lunong was so sleepy that she couldn't speak clearly. She mumbled, "If it really blocks my eyes, I'll tie it into a small bun with a rubber band."

Kong Zhi laughed, his chest shaking.

Xia Lunong leaned on his chest and heard it very clearly, so she rubbed her back against his chest.

Seeing him like this, Kong Zhi turned off the hair dryer and kissed him, then held his neck and tucked him into the quilt, "Hurry up and go to sleep, and we'll talk after you wake up."

Xia Lunong closed her eyes and rested her head on the pillow, grabbing his clothes with her hands, "You go to sleep too."

"Let's sleep." Kong Zhi lay down and held him in his arms, "Can you be a thief if you don't sleep?"

Both of them slept well that night.

Back to a safe place, they finally didn't have to keep watch, and their sleep quality improved sharply.

The next day, Xia Lunong slept until he woke up naturally, but he felt sleepy again as soon as he got up.

Kong Zhi took a hot towel and wiped his face, "Get up and have lunch first, then go back to sleep after you finish eating."

"Okay." Xia Lunong put his feet on the ground and sat on the bed waiting for Kong Zhi to help wipe his face.

Kong Zhi's technique was not very proficient, and he wiped his face with a hot towel soaked in water, making his hair curl up.

Even with Xia Lunong's looks, he couldn't stand this silly look.

Kong Zhi stood in front of him, took out a rubber band from the drawer, and grabbed a small bun on his head.

Xia Lunong is very good-looking, and he is usually very good-looking. With a little makeup and trimming, his handsome face is even more attractive.

Kong Zhi looked at him carefully, bent down and kissed his smooth forehead.

Xia Lunong fell down and hugged his waist, "Have my brothers woken up?"

"They woke up early and are out now. They seem to have gone to the foot of the mountain to command work." Kong Zhi hugged him, "Let's go out for lunch first?"

Xia Lunong got bolder when he heard that his brothers were not there, "I don't want to move. Carry me out."

Kong Zhi smiled, hugged his waist and legs with one hand, and carried him out like a child.

The dishes for lunch were all Xia Lunong's favorites.

After lunch, Xia Lunong finally woke up.

He went out to see the rose.

They were so tired last night that they didn't do much to take care of the rose. They just dug a hole, buried the rose in it, and let it grow on its own.

The rose was also tired and was still dormant.

Xia Lunong approached it, but it didn't respond.

Xia Lunong didn't bother to call it.

He looked at the flowers on two of the plants. The flowers were blooming more and more brightly, as if they were blooming in late spring or early summer, and were not affected by the cold wind at all.

If it were ordinary flowers, they would have wilted long ago under the fierce blowing of the cold wind. But the rose was different

. Even though its flower side was covered with a thin layer of ice, it still looked tender and gorgeous.

Xia Lunong pinched her cheek and whispered to Kong Zhi, "It feels like this flower has changed again."

Kong Zhi said, "As expected."

Xia Lunong discussed with Kong Zhi for a while and woke up the rose.

Yueji seemed to be in a daze, and it took her a while to interact with Xia Lunong, "What's going on today? Or

do you want to transfer superpowers to me again?" "I just want to take a look at your condition, and I want some of your leaves and petals. How do you feel?" Xia Lunong asked, "Do you feel that your body is injured, or in something wrong?"

Yueji felt it carefully for a moment and shook her leaves, "No, I just finally realized what you humans mean by sleepy."

Xia Lunong warned, "Your two bodies affected by the meteorite are growing faster. You must observe them at all times. If there is anything wrong, cut off contact with these two bodies in time."

Yueji said she understood.

Xia Lunong took some rose petals and leaves, put them in a plastic bag, and then gave it some supernatural powers before going to see Xia Huajiao.

Xia Huajiao was in high spirits in the cold wind, with its branches swaying. It told Xia Lunong about what happened in the base in the past few days.

Xia Lunong had already heard most of the things about the base from his brother, but it was also very interesting to get more information from Xia Huajiao.

After listening to it, Xia Lunong relayed it to Kong Zhi and said with emotion: "Xia Huajiao's skills are really useful, and they are as good as spies."

Kong Zhi said: "Anyway, we won't ask about anything. If we encounter something we shouldn't hear, we just don't listen to it. Just treat this as a trump card."

After taking care of the plants at home, the two returned to the house, changed clothes and prepared to go out.

Xia Lunong was refreshed by the cold wind. She was too lazy to go back to the house and continue sleeping, so she went to the White Building with Kong Zhi.

They had been going to the White Building more and more frequently these days, and they were already very familiar with going there.

In addition, Yan Xinian had greeted them in advance, so they had a smooth handover with the people in the White Building.

Xia Lunong was a little emotional because she handed over the space bamboo tube. "The base is so small that it can't hold any secrets. Even if there were secrets before, they will be exposed slowly as the number of intersections increases."

"Just expose it to people you trust. It will be painful for us to keep the secrets anyway." Kong Zhi glanced at the time. "It's only half past four. Do you want to go down the mountain?"

It was very easy for Kong Zhi to go down the mountain. He turned into a golden eagle and flew into the sky. He could reach the bottom of the mountain in less than ten minutes.

Xia Lunong thought for a moment, "Then let's go. It was too dark last night and I couldn't see clearly. I want to take another look at the plains. If we have time, we can take the roses with us and plant them in the valley where the sheep are raised so that they can help us see more."

Kong Zhi agreed, "Good idea."

Xia Lunong held his hand, "Then let's go back now."
