Chapter 91
The end of the world 82
The public areas in the morning are particularly lively.
Morning is the most energetic time of the day. People who wake up will sit together for breakfast and chat. At night, everyone was so tired that they could fall asleep standing. No one was in the mood to talk more. They just wanted to lie down and sleep quickly.
It's still sunny today. According to Yuepeng's plan, after breakfast, he will take the team members out to clear the snow.
"Xiao Wu, don't go today and stay on the farm to rest."
Xiaowu accidentally sprained his foot during the snow yesterday. After emergency treatment, it was not a big problem. It was still a little swollen this morning. Yue Peng asked him to stay and rest.
"Captain, I'm fine. I twisted it a little. It won't hurt for a long time."
"Occome orders." Yue Peng said seriously.
"Yes." Xiao Wu raised his head and straightened his chest and answered loudly.
Tang Xue came out of the room after washing up.
"Xiao Xue, come and have dinner." Tang's father, who was sitting at the stove, was eating, said.
"Okay."
She walked over and picked up her bowls and chopsticks.
Jiang Chen, who was sitting on a bench with Jiang Yu, stood up and said, "Sister Xiaoxue, sit here. I'm finished."
With that, quickly pick up the remaining sweet potato dough in the bowl into your mouth.
After eating, Yue Peng and the team members put on their clothes and tools to set out to sweep the snow.
"Pupy ginger soup in your kettle." Tang Xue said.
Yue Peng shook his head and patted the military kettle on his body with a smile. "No, it's a good thing here."
There are also some stored sorghum wine on the farm, which is equipped with each team member. Take a sip when it feels cold, which can dispel the cold. According to the previous discipline, drinking is not allowed. Of course, you can't miss the opportunity now.
She turned around and continued to eat silently. I thought to myself, but I don't know if you are still in the mood to drink later.
Out of the farm gate, a group of people carried tools to the road.
"Look, what's over there?" Suddenly, a little soldier with sharp eyes pointed to the direction of the sentry and asked.
The others looked in the direction of his fingers and saw a lot of square boxes in the open space near the sentry post.
"Let's go and have a look."
A team of people rushed to the vicinity of the sentry post as soon as possible.
It's a container.
Yue Peng counted twenty-five containers.
Who put so many containers here? How did these containers come from? What's in the container?
Countless questions turned over in Yue Peng's mind, but there was no answer.
"Open it and see if there is anything inside." Yue Peng ordered.
The team members tried their best to open a total of five containers, each of which was full of things. Because many boxes are wrapped in thick plastic film, I can't see what's inside.
Yuepeng tried to open the boxes on one of the trays.
Good luck, it's a medical medicine.
Yue Peng slamped and put everything back to its original position.
"From now on, you must stay here step by inch and not let anyone get close to these containers."
"Yes!"
If there is no guess, each of these containers is full of things. At a time when supplies are so scarce, no matter what they are, they will play a major role, not to mention that he has just discovered drugs.
Report, this matter must be reported immediately to the garrison base.
Yue Peng pulled off the mask on his face excitedly. He took out his identity bracelet and started the emergency contact channel.
Garrison base
Duan Boyu came out of the single dormitory and walked to the stairs while stretching. When he walked to the door of his partner Jiang Xinting dormitory, he heard a fierce cough inside.
He stepped, immediately walked to the door and knocked on the door.
Hearing the knock on the door, Jiang Xinting opened the door and saw Duan Boyu standing at the door.
"Hasn't you go to breakfast yet? Well, cough..." Jiang Xinting couldn't help coughing twice before he finished saying something.
Duan Boyu went straight into the room and said, "No, I was just about to go. Why did your cough get worse? I didn't see you cough so bad yesterday."
"Cough, cough, cough, it's okay. It's just a cold, cough, it will be fine after a while, cough."
"Don't be stubborn, or you'd better go to the military doctor." Duan Boyu proposed.
"Myrrh is useless, and it's useless to see it. Cough. Anyway, if you don't take medicine when you catch a cold, you can get better in a few days. It's not so pretentious."
"Even if there is no medicine, you can't massage cough, acupuncture and moxibustion. Try it. It's better than coughing like you all the time."
"Go and go, don't talk nonsense here, eat."
Jiang Xinting didn't want to listen to Duan Boyu's nagging anymore and pushed him out.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Duan Boyu's bracelet suddenly rang.
"Shang, I suddenly received a call from the emergency passage."
"Take it over."
The two returned to the room and closed the door.
The communication was connected, and a holographic image appeared in front of Duan Boyu and Jiang Xinting.
Duan Boyu stared at it and recognized it as Yuepeng.
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly found that there was something wrong with the scene behind Yuepeng, and his expression immediately became serious.
---
The soldiers who left the base suddenly received an emergency task, and everyone was ready to go as soon as possible. Most of the people in the base have long been sent to various regions of the North Mountains for disaster relief, and not many people remain in the base.
After leaving the personnel who had to stay at the base, Duan Boyu and Jiang Xinting led the team in person. Jiang Xinting caught a cold and cough, and Duan Boyu wanted him to stay at the base.
"You don't want to go. Stay at the base."
"No, I have to go."
"It's so cold outside. You already have a cold. What if your cold gets worse?"
"It doesn't matter, cough. I'm dressed tightly. I really can't do it. I can stay in the car. Cough, don't say it. I must go."
Duan Boyu couldn't convince the stubborn Jiang Xinting, so he could only sigh and get on the same car as him.
Due to the short time, only two large snow trucks were transferred. There are two large snowmobiles driving, and the cars behind them can pass smoothly.
By the time the convoy arrived at the sentry smoothly, it had been three hours away. Even if there is a snowmobile driving, it is not easy to walk on the road. Fortunately, it came over smoothly.
After getting off the bus, Duan Boyu couldn't help taking a breath of air conditioning when he saw the containers piled up in the snow.
The survey of Roots and Peng, these containers seem to appear here out of thin air, and no traces of transportation were found around them. This is really strange.
Although there are many things that are difficult to explain in the world, he has always felt that because our science is not developed enough, it will definitely be explained when it reaches a certain level one day.
But the current situation makes him a little suspicious of what he firmly believes in.
Is the end of science really metaphysics?
No, no, no, there must be some people or groups who put these large containers here in a way that science can't explain.
Jiang Xinting, who agreed to stay in the car all the time, had gone to check the container when Duan Boyu doubted himself. Jiang Xinting frowned, and he couldn't figure out why these containers appeared out of thin air for a moment.
But if he can't figure it out, he won't be entangled and just forget this trouble. At present, the most important thing is to pull back all these containers and sort out the contents.
"Lao Duan!"
"Oh, here we go."
After discussion between the two, orders were issued one after another, and the soldiers began to take action.
At first, people on the farm didn't know what was going on outside. After finishing their farm work, Wadelong and Nie Hu were ready to help Yuepeng clean up like yesterday. After going out, they found that something was wrong outside.
Since the vicinity of the sentry post has been designated as a restricted area by Yuepeng, they were not close, but only said a few words to Yuepeng outside the forbidden zone. Yue Peng did not disclose the specific situation to the two, but said that something had been found and had been reported to the base, and the garrison would soon send someone over.
Hearing the news, Watron and Nie Hu went straight back to the farm.
When they came back, everyone had been talking about the news and all kinds of speculation. Tang Xue sat silently in the corner and didn't say anything.
Probably no one knows better than her what's going on.
The containers she picked up have been in space for a long time. Due to her stressful time every day, she has only sorted out two containers so far.
Fortunately, one of the containers is food, most of which are milk powder, rice flour, cereal and various snacks.
Another container is relatively miscellaneous and contains all kinds of daily necessities.
The two she opened are still in space.
She hasn't opened the rest yet, and she doesn't know what's in it.
The 25 containers taken out by Akato this time were also randomly selected by Akato. As for why she only took twenty-five, it was not that she was stingy, but that Akato could only take so much.
Last night, when the red vine came back after putting it away, the two fresh leaves withered, looking like excessive energy consumption. This makes her feel extremely guilty. It takes energy not only to release containers, but also to resist the severe cold.
Fortunately, as long as the red vine has a good rest on the space tree, it will recover after a while.
There is a price to do anything, and of course Akato is no exception.
Duan Boyu was not going to come to the farm because of important tasks, but there was a patient who was very unconscious. It was agreed that I would stay in the car, but I haven't been back since I got out of the car and have been directing the transportation outside.
Duan Boyu heard Jiang Xinting say every time, and then he coughed. The cough was like coughing his lung out of his throat, which made him furious.
Immediately let Yuepeng press Jiang Xinting to the farm to rest without giving any refutation. He must go. Now he doesn't even have a chance to stay in the car.
Jiang Xinting still wanted to insist, but seeing that Duan Boyu's face was too dark to drip, he had to obey the arrangement and follow Yuepeng to the farm.
"Cough, I'm sorry to bother you again."
Jiang Xinting's cough is indeed very serious, and his voice has changed.
Knowing that he had a cold, but the base did not have cold medicine, Jiang Yu immediately went to get the cold medicine. Tang Xue scooped him a bowl of ginger soup.
Ginger soup is a must-have for the farm after winter. Everyone drinks two or three bowls every day.
Jiang Xinting didn't expect to get cold medicine on the farm.
In this way, Jiang Xinting stayed on the farm until Duan Boyu arranged for all the containers to pull away.
After finishing his work, Duan Boyu came to the farm to pick up people.
As soon as he entered the room, he smiled and said, "I'm here to lead someone."
"Do you want to stay for dinner?" Jiang Yu asked.
Duan Boyu and Jiang Xinting said in unison, "No."
Duan Boyu: "It won't be today. I have something to do when I go back. I will definitely come over when I have time another day."
Jiang Yu nodded: "Okay."
"It's getting late. Let's go first." Duan Boyu waved his hand to everyone.
"Goodbye." Jiang Xinting said.
"I didn't bring the medicine." Tang Xue saw that Jiang Xinting did not take the medicine and said quickly.
How precious is the medicine now? How could Jiang Xinting not understand it? He quickly refused. Duan Boyu stepped forward and took the medicine directly in his hand and said with a smile, "Then I'm welcome."
Jiang Xinting couldn't look at him with tears and laughter.
After the container was pulled back to the base, the base arranged dozens of people to sort it out overnight. Duan Boyu and Jiang Xinting also stayed with him until after 2 a.m.
As soon as I got up the next morning, before I could check yesterday's results, I heard the report from the gate of the garrison base that Yu Xingbang, the ruler in City C, came.
Duan Boyu looked at Jiang Xinting with a stunned face and said in disbelief, "Is this boy a dog nose?" Or did he have a camera with me?"
Jiang Xinting said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense. Yesterday was so big that it was normal to know."
Duan Boyu: "What should I do now? Let him in?"
Jiang Xinting: "Why don't you? He was supposed to be notified, but now he's here, just right."
Duan Boyu: "Okay, let the door guard let him in."

Chapter 92
The end of the world 83
The garrison base is well managed. Even if the person who comes to the highest authority in City C, you can only enter until it is notified at the gatepost and is allowed. Military areas, no matter who, can break through.
The car parked in front of the building according to the guidelines. Yu Xingbang and the secretary arrived at Duan Boyu's office under the guidance of a soldier.
In the office, only Duan Boyu and Jiang Xinting are studying the materials they got back yesterday.
"Oh, what brings you here?" Duan Boyu looked up at Yu Xingbang and joked with a smile.
After Yu Xingbang entered the office, he took off his hat, neck and gloves, sat down on the chair in front of Duan Boyu's table, and smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Duan, you asked knowingly. You made such a big move yesterday that you knew everything you should know. Can I still not come?"
"I thought you had a camera here." Duan Boyu said.
"Have you forgotten that our official shareholding planting base is next door?" Yu Xingbang replied.
Speaking of this, Duan Boyu and Jiang Xinting laughed at the same time.
I didn't want to hide it from it.
Jiang Xinting got two cups of hot water and put them in front of Yu Xingbang and his secretary.
"Thank you."
Yu Xingbang rubbed his frozen fingers, picked up the glass and took a sip.
Duan Boyu pushed the information in his hand to Yu Xingbang, "Since you are here, let's take a look."
Yu Xingbang immediately put down the cup, picked up the information and looked carefully.
The more you look at it, the more frightened you are. These can be regarded as a large life-saving material for the current city C.
Yu Xingbang did not doubt the authenticity of the information. It was all at this juncture. Everyone was working hard to survive, and everything else could only be forgotten. If everyone is not united at this time, the result can only be the extinction.
"Is these what you pulled back yesterday? So much?" This was completely beyond Yu Xingbang's expectation.
"Yes, there are exactly 25 containers, of which 15 are the maximum specifications." Jiang Xinting pointed to the information to explain.
"Why is there any furniture? It's still imported from Italy. Yu Xingbang pointed to a question on the information.
Duan Boyu raised his eyebrows and said, "How do I know? You have to ask the person who sent it."
"Does the person who sent me have a clue? You can't appear out of thin air. Even if the traces are cleaned, you can always find clues. Yu Xingbang asked immediately.
"It really appeared out of thin air, and there were no clues." Jiang Xinting said.
"Have you checked the satellite monitoring?"
"Nothing has been found."
"That's weird." Yu Xingbang frowned and thought.
Seeing that Yu Xingbang seemed to be dissatisfied with such a result, Jiang Xinting advised, "Since they do this, they definitely don't want people to know. If we want to do good deeds without leaving a name, why do we have to be difficult for others?"
"It's better to find out."
Duan Boyu directly said, "Find out what to do. Do you want more?"
"Uh..." Yu Xingbang was criticized to be speechless.
Dude, you can't do this. Can't you see through it or not? Do you understand?
In the end, the final distribution of this batch of materials was completed through three-person negotiation.
When Yu Xingbang left, Duan Boyu suddenly said, "I hope all these materials can be put into practice and used on those who should be used, otherwise..."
Duan Boyu spit out a sentence with a smile: "I don't mind wasting a bullet."
Yu Xingbang coughed softly, "Don't worry, this won't happen."
After saying that, he left with the secretary.
"What are you doing to scare him?" Jiang Xinting asked.
"I'm just reminding him that wealth touches people's hearts. Of course, it's best."
Before long, hospitals with many days of interruption of medical resources ushered in special resource transport vehicles.
After receiving the phone call, a doctor shouted, "Prepare the operating room, hurry up, critical patients prepare for surgery."
In order to transport containers, the garrison will clean up all the roads from the sentry post to the base. The road was closed by the blizzard, and three people who had not gone to work for many days finally returned to their status as workers again.
Despite the escort of the garrison next door, the planting base still suffered heavy losses in this superstorm. Nearly one-third of the plantations throughout the base were damaged to varying degrees of damage.
Some of them are not damaged and can be used normally after a little repair. Some of them were damaged, and most of the skeleton collapsed, and even the crops in the plantation were not spared.
In addition to property losses, loss of personnel is not avoided. According to the base, six employees were killed in the blizzard.
Immediately after the storm stopped, the base organized relevant personnel to carry out post-disaster repair work.
In the repair work, the task of the logistics department was particularly heavy, so as soon as Jiang Yu and the front foot of the Tang Dynasty entered the gate of the base, the back foot was pulled away by the vehicle of the logistics department.
He had to let Tang Xue park his own car.
Compared with the Department of Field Support, the work of the Group of Experts is slightly easier.
Entering the expert group's office, she saw that many old experts were already working with assistants.
"Good morning, teachers."
"Xiao Tang is coming."
"Xiao Tang hasn't seen for a long time."
"Good morning."
"I'm sorry, it's late."
"It's not too late. We just started work yesterday."
At present, the expert group is counting the crop situation of the whole base to assess the extent of the impact of the blizzard on crops. Based on the assessment, they will make corresponding adjustments to the planting plan and field management.
After simply saying hello, she also began to work.
At noon, she received a call from He Wen. During the break, she went back to District 2. Wang Youcai, a member of Group 6, died in the blizzard just passed away.
It is said that he died because he saved his family.
Countless people lost their lives in this superstorm, but when she suddenly heard the death of someone she knew, she couldn't help spreading a faint sadness from the bottom of her heart.
The black and thin man will stay this winter forever.
Due to the persistent low temperature and cold, the post-disaster reconstruction of the base lasted for more than half a month before it was completed. For more than half a month, God has given special face. Except for two days of bad weather and light rain, everything else is sunny and good, so the construction is particularly smooth.
The reconstruction of the base has been successfully completed, which can be regarded as a phased victory. After the blizzard, the mood of the base employees continued to be depressed, coupled with the heavy post-disaster repair work, all the employees of the base are basically physically and mentally exhausted.
In order to restore employee morale as soon as possible, the base is preparing to hold a commendation conference.
"Have you heard that the base is going to hold a commendation meeting?" Employee A said.
"What recognition conference, who is it honored?" Employee B asked.
"It is said that people who have performed well should be recognized." Employee A.
"Cust, then we have no chance." Employee C suddenly lost interest.
"No, no, no, I heard it's similar to the annual meeting. Although it is commendable for those who perform well, everyone will have a year-end bonus." Employee A said mysteriously.
"Year-end bonus? Is everyone sending it?" Employee C rekindled his passion.
"Of course."
"Great!"
Before long, the news of the commendation conference was blowing away, and employees could be heard everywhere in the base. The date of the conference has not yet been set, but all employees have looked forward to the meeting coming soon.
The downturn atmosphere in the base was swept away, and every employee saw faint excitement and expectation. Everyone wants to know what kind of "year-end bonus" the base will give you.
Sure enough, words will never have any effect in inspiring people's hearts.
The commendation meeting was held on a sunny afternoon and windless at the base canteen.
Before the beginning of the conference, the Logistics Department kept carrying vehicles to the canteen, and red plastic bags piled up on the side of the canteen and piled up into hills.
At the conference time, the employees saw the red "mountain" as soon as they entered the door. They couldn't help guessing that these were probably the prizes to be issued today, and I don't know what was in it.
Many employees pray in their hearts that hope is something practical.
The process of the conference is very fast, and every link is concise and clear, without any mud and water. Even the speech of the leader of the fixed program can be done in one minute.
"Well, without further ado, let's enter the awarding session. I think this should be the most anticipated link. Now let's award the outstanding contribution award!" The host held a microphone and performed passionately on the stage, trying to mobilize the emotions of the employees below.
Hearing the award beginning, the employees under the stage were all energetic. Although you may not have it yourself, what if?
The Outstanding Contribution Award is awarded to a total of 10 people, all of whom have made significant contributions to the base since its establishment.
It is worth mentioning that the leadership of the Base and the Group of Experts did not participate in the selection. These awards are only awarded to middle and low-level employees for their contributions to the base.
Ten employees who were reported to the stage one after another.
Among them, a middle-aged woman in her forties cried with joy when she heard her name. She didn't expect that she would get a outstanding contribution award. When she heard the name, she even thought she had misunderstood. After confirming with her colleagues several times, she cried and came on the stage to receive the award.
This woman is only one of the many ordinary employees of the base, but because she works conscientiously and responsibly, hard-working, willing to help others, and not stingy in sharing her planting technology, she has received a high rating in the employee rating.
The good causes planted in the past have produced good results at this moment.
I sincerely hope that everyone can be rewarded.
When selecting excellent employees, she heard Jiang Yu's name and turned around and saw Jiang Yu slowly stepping on the stage.
The two of them collided in the air. She quietly raised her hand and quickly gave her thumb. Jiang Yu, who stood on the stage, saw her small movements, smiled in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised slightly.
At the end of the commendation meeting, Liu Feifei, Minister of Logistics, announced that every employee could receive a prize from the base. She said that on behalf of the base, she thanked all the employees for their hard work for so long, and hoped to deal with all kinds of crises and work hard together in the future.
This conference completely ignites everyone's passion for survival. Since then, everyone has been working hard to create their own value. Employees all hope to build the base better and better, so that they can survive with the base in the future.
The cold winter continues, and after the planting base has passed the trough, the development of the planting base tends to be stable and moving forward steadily.
However, for the whole northern mountainous area, the pressure of survival is still severe.
The blizzard destroyed not only the planting industry, but also other industries in the North Mountains. For example, the breeding and processing of tadpoles.
Breeding white tadpoles requires very high temperature, and a snowstorm has caused heavy losses to the white tadpole farming industry. The house was damaged and the power was cut off, causing the temperature management to collapse completely, and 60% to 70% of the raised tadpoles died.
I don't know how long it will take for the cold winter to end, but most of the rations have died. Even if it continues to be reproduced in the future to make up for it, for the whole city C, there is still a gap in the supply of rations for a period of time.
How to get food and fill the gap?
City C, which has completed the rescue and reconstruction work after the blizzard, faces another problem.
