Chapter 260 Actual Condition (22)
As soon as the extreme heat was mentioned, the question that I had wanted to ask when I got back could now be directly asked.
Huang Jinghe quickly asked, "Professor Pei..."
But before he could finish his words, Professor Pei interrupted him and said, "Why call me professor? Call me grandpa."
Huang Jinghe immediately changed the subject, "Grandpa Pei, when will the extreme heat come? We want to rush to the Beijing base before the extreme heat hits."
Professor Pei frowned upon hearing Huang Jinghe's words. He asked, "Let me first ask you how you got to the H City base. Logically, even if you want to go to a base, you should go to the J City base."
"We went there. Since we didn't have a car, we used ice skates and a sled to skate all the way there. We applied for temporary residence there and stayed there for three days. After we had rested up, we rushed to the H City base. Of course, we got rides along the way, otherwise it would have taken us a while to get there. Since we didn't have a car, our plan was to go from base to base, resting for a few days in one base before rushing to the next base."
Although Professor Pei had been in the lab the entire time, he hadn't missed a single word of news from outside. As soon as he heard the words "skates" and "skating scooters," he immediately came over. "So that's how you got here? Then don't leave. Of course, even if you have a car, I wouldn't recommend you leave."
Professor Pei continued, "I came here during the insect plague. I received a forecast of extreme cold during the rainy season, but the forecast at that time was for three years, so I felt at ease doing research here. Who knew that only a few months ago, I received news that the extreme cold was over, and the last time I received news of the coming extreme heat was the day before yesterday. I'm afraid today's earthquake is a warning. The weather outside will not be very peaceful in the next few days. So if you want to leave, I really don't recommend it. You don't have ice skates, and even if you have a car, you can't leave."
But when it comes to the specific time, no one can give an exact date, but no matter what, they will not be able to reach the R City base in a short time, not to mention the disasters that will happen one after another.
"If you want to pick someone up, please bring them back to the base as soon as possible. You can stay here for the time being. After I report this matter to my superiors, they will definitely have arrangements for my stay or departure. Since we are going the same way, just follow me." Although Professor Pei was not sure whether his next stop would be returning to the Beijing base, it couldn't be a base farther away.
However, Lao Gao felt that it shouldn't be that simple. "The car that took you away must have been arranged by someone above us. How could we strangers get in such a car?"
"If that doesn't work, you'll just have to find another way. The time is short anyway. Whether you drive or skate, you won't be able to reach the next base, so you can only stay here."
"But I still have a question. This base just experienced an earthquake and the mountain is cracked. Is it still habitable?" Lan Jin couldn't help but ask in confusion. He was afraid that if people were brought in, the base would become uninhabitable, and he would have to make arrangements next.
"Whether this place is habitable or not, you should take the people with you. If we need to leave in a hurry, where will you go to pick them up?"
Lan Jin and Ling Jiang discussed it on the side and finally decided to get the two people out of the space first. After all, the situation now is different from the situation when they discussed yesterday. Before, they wanted to go alone and take the people out at any time, but if they have to go with Professor Pei and others in the future, where will they find a chance to get the people out?
Therefore, holding two meetings in advance is of no use. No matter what happens, decisions must be made based on the actual situation.
"Okay." After saying that, Lan Jin stood up and said, "Ling Jiang, let's go get that person back."
"I'll go with you too." Lao Gao said, then turned to Professor Pei and Huang Jinghe and said, "Why don't you two just chat first? We'll be back soon."
Huang Jinghe naturally knew the whole story and knew that these three people would not go too far from the base, so he agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for you in the lobby later."
"Um."
After saying that, Lan Jin and the other two went downstairs.
When they arrived at the hall, Brother Zhang was still directing everyone's work. Seeing Lan Jin and the other two coming down but not seeing Huang Jinghe, he hurriedly asked, "Where's Xiao Huang? He's still chatting with Professor Pei."
"Yes, we plan to go and pick up Grandma Ling and my daughter and bring them to the base, so we're leaving first." Although they were going to bring people back, since they had already met Brother Zhang, Lan Jin felt it necessary to ask again about whether the base could still be inhabited, "Brother Zhang, is our base still habitable?"
Brother Zhang smiled and said, "I've already sent people to survey the area. We'll have to wait and see whether it's habitable or not. But even if it's not habitable, the base will take care of the follow-up issues. You don't need to worry about that."
"good."
After that, the three of them went down the mountain with their skating equipment.
Of course, I wouldn't need skating equipment, but I'd need disguise. I couldn't walk all the way, or I wouldn't be able to get back until dark.
The three of them quickly went down the mountain, found an empty corner, and entered the space together.
As soon as I entered the space, I saw Lan Qiaoqiao sitting at the door of the thatched hut, reading a book and eating the fruit fed by Grandma Ling. Her life was so comfortable that I really had an urge to hit someone.
Lan Jin quickly said, "Grandma Ling, just let her eat by herself. She has hands."
Upon hearing Lan Jin's voice, Lan Qiaoqiao immediately dropped the book in her hand and ran towards Lan Jin's arms, "Mom, you're back again."
"Yes, he just left this morning and came back a while ago. If he hadn't come back so quickly, he wouldn't have been able to catch our lazy cat."
Lan Qiaoqiao smiled and laughed it off. After all, looking at Lan Jin's expression, she knew that Lan Jin was not angry at all, so what was the big deal?
Of course, Lan Jin didn't intend to make a big deal out of such a small matter. It was just a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Besides, who would feed him after he went out? If he didn't eat, he would starve.
After kissing her little baby, Lan Jin said, "Qiao Qiao, this time Mommy comes in to take you out. You may not be able to stay in the space anymore. You have to live with Mommy in the base."
"Base? What is that?" Ran Qiaoqiao didn't understand the word, so he asked.
Lan Jin explained: "The base is the same as our community. It is a new place to live."
At this point, Lan Jin realized a problem, "Can I still live in the dormitory with my child?"
"If you take Qiao Qiao with you, we can definitely live here, but if you take Nana with you, it's absolutely impossible." At this point, Lao Gao hugged Nana's head and asked, "Sister Lan, are you going to take Nana with you when you go out?"
