Chapter 246 Consider It (13)
"Sure." Brother Zhang thought about it for a long time. He really didn't expect that these four people would ask his opinion on leaving the base. He had already told them when they were settled in that they could enter and leave the base freely with their residence permits. But when he remembered that he had been locked up in the small room before, he didn't know what others had said to them. So he said, "I reported the matter to the leader yesterday. The matter has been clarified. You can do whatever you want. The one-month temporary residence permit we agreed to give you is still valid. You can continue to live here and enter and leave the base at any time without any problem."
"Your injuries don't seem serious to me. So, after buying the weapons, are you planning to head to the Jing City base?" Brother Zhang paused, then looked at Huang Jinghe and asked, "I imagine you've spoken to your parents over the phone in the past few days. They should have told you what happened."
matter?
Huang Jinghe asked, "Are you talking about the weather?"
Seeing that Huang Jinghe already knew, Brother Zhang had nothing to hide. "Yes, the extreme heat is coming soon. If it hadn't delayed you before, you would have left. But this has delayed you for a few days. No one knows exactly when the extreme heat will come, and no one knows how long it will take you to reach the Beijing base. But staying one more day will definitely bring you one day closer to the extreme heat. My advice is that you'd better not leave for now."
Lan Jin said, "You're right. If we leave now, it will be dangerous if we meet them along the way. But if we don't leave now, I'm afraid it will be even harder to leave later."
After that, Lao Gao asked, "Actually, there are some things Xiao Huang isn't comfortable asking over the phone, and it's certainly not convenient for the other party to say either. So, I just mentioned it. Regarding the weather, Brother Zhang, could you please tell us in detail? We already know about it, so I think it wouldn't be against the rules if you were to talk about it again."
Brother Zhang sighed and said, "It's not impossible. We actually received news of this extreme heat coming over a month ago. Of course, it still hasn't arrived yet, so no one knows if it will actually happen. But it's said that before the extreme heat arrives, there will be a major cold wave, and the global temperature will drop to over -70 degrees Celsius. It will be impossible to walk outside, let alone ride your ice skates."
Brother Zhang remembered clearly that when the four of them arrived at the base, they walked up, but the skates they were carrying were extremely eye-catching. Therefore, it was impossible for these people to reach the Beijing base in a short period of time relying solely on the skates.
Even if the extreme cold can be avoided, if the weather warms up rapidly like before, people staying outside will not be able to withstand the huge temperature difference in their bodies and will also lose their lives.
Not to mention that they had already received news that abnormal weather would arrive in clusters before the big drop in temperature. If there was also freezing rain, hail, etc., there would be no way to save their lives.
So he said it would be best not to leave now.
Even though Brother Zhang's tone was extremely serious, it still did not dissuade them from leaving. Lan Jin asked again: "But what if we don't reach the Beijing base for the time being? Just like before, we move from one base to another. If so, can we avoid these abnormal weather conditions?
If the situation is good and nothing happens when we reach the next base, we can continue skiing. If the situation is bad, we can stay at the next base and figure out a way. In any case, once we reach the next base, we'll be closer to the Jingshi base, and it will definitely be easier to find a way to get there."
However, Brother Zhang disagreed. "Do you know where the next base is? I know it's in City R. Even driving from here would take 5-7 days, not to mention your skates. You wouldn't be able to get there in a month or two."
Lao Gao was stunned when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "But the distance from our base in J City to our base in H City isn't that far. Why is it so far from the next base? In the past, it would have taken 5-7 days to get from J City to Beijing City."
"There used to be an elevated road that connected the shortest routes. Now that we're on ice, it's like an elevated road, but the route is different," Zhang explained. "Also, bases are usually built in the safest parts of the city. It certainly won't take you this long to get to the city center, but it will take this long to get from the city center to the base. If the extreme heat hadn't arrived, I wouldn't have cared about you, but now's really not the time to be willful."
Brother Zhang was also a little puzzled by these people's insistence on going to the Beijing base. "Xiao Huang's parents are there, so it's understandable that he insisted on going. But why do you all seem so anxious?"
Of course I was anxious. How could I get the people in the space out if I didn't leave the base? If I really lived in H City for a few years, what would happen to Grandma Ling and Lan Qiaoqiao? She couldn't just bring her daughter out out of thin air, and it was even more impossible for her to go out and bring back an old man and a young girl. They were her family. Not to mention whether there was enough space on the ice scooter. All the good people came to the base, but they left an old man and a young girl outside. Do you think this is normal?
This doesn't make sense at all.
Lan Jin was so annoyed that his mind was in a mess, like a mess that couldn't be untangled. Finally, he said, "Let's think about it again. It will take another two days to embed the weapon anyway. Let's quickly get the things from outside and exchange them for contribution points."
Seeing that they would consider his opinion, Brother Zhang felt a little relieved. "Okay, Lao Gao, come with me to go through the formalities first. You can leave after that."
The base's operations are very formal. If they take something from Lao Gao, not only will they write a receipt on the spot, but it will also be marked online in the residence permit. In short, all processes are open and transparent.
As for the fees, there is no fee this time. This is a privilege given to them by Brother Zhang.
After completing the formalities, they returned to the capsule room, took the sliding tools, swiped their cards, turned around and walked down the mountain.
Perhaps it was because the tools in their hands were too unique. From the moment they picked them up until they left the base, those curious eyes never left them.
After walking for a distance, Ling Jiang looked back and said speechlessly: "What are these people looking at? What's so good about it? We are not monkeys."
"People are just curious about you going out on skates and a sled."
Isn't that strange? When we went to the J City base before, weren't there a lot of people watching? Just like they were watching a show.
The four of them walked all the way down to the ice. Lao Gao and Ling Jiang put on their skating equipment skillfully, and after Lan Jin and Huang Jinghe sat on them, they immediately slid down.
Huang Jinghe asked, "Sister Lan, where are we going?"
