Chapter 87 I will not offend others unless they offend me.
By the time Bai Tang and the others drove home, it was already dark.
Bai Jiyang took several rabbits and pheasants off the car.
Upon entering the house, Mu Mu suddenly spoke in her mind: "Sister Tangtang, the magnetic field outside has changed again."
After hearing this, Bai Tang asked Mu Mu, "Where exactly does it manifest itself?"
Mu Mu: "According to you, it should be a change in temperature."
Bai Tang understood immediately, guessing that the extreme heat was coming.
I just don't know if it will come at the same time as in the previous life, or if it might come earlier or later.
However, Bai Tang and the others had already made preparations, collecting a lot of snow accumulated during the extreme cold in the space, so that even if the snow could not cool down in time during the hottest times.
They can also place it in the space to simulate a snowy environment and grow snow fruits. In addition, they haven't used up all the ice they had stockpiled before, so Bai Tang and the others are not afraid at all.
Lin Fan touched his belly and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
Bai Tang: "Let's eat meat and vegetables, let's eat meat!"
As she spoke, Bai Tang took out several kinds of meat dishes from her spatial storage.
During the meal, Bai Tang said, "Let's go outside and collect the snow these next few days, I'm afraid it might suddenly get hot."
Lin Feng said, "It's so cold now, it shouldn't suddenly get hot, right?"
Lin Fan said, "Oh, you don't understand. Have you ever heard the saying 'things will turn around when they reach an extreme'? When it gets cold to a certain point, it's bound to get hot. Your sister-in-law is so farsighted."
Lin Fan seized every opportunity to flatter Bai Tang; he was Bai Tang's loyal "sycophant."
In his view, as long as they could latch onto his sister-in-law's powerful connections, they could live a life of luxury every day.
As people who can't live without meat, Lin Fan and his friends always felt that a meal was incomplete without eating meat.
Bai Tang: "When it gets hot, we can't plant snow fruit in the yard anymore, so we'll have to go out more often these next few days."
Bai Jiyang: "No problem. We can also hunt some pheasants and rabbits while we're at it. We can have a treat. How about you make pheasant-flavored braised chicken for lunch tomorrow, brother-in-law?"
Gu Yanxu glanced at Bai Tang, who replied, "I want to eat too."
Upon hearing his wife say she wanted to eat braised chicken, Gu Yanxu readily agreed, "No problem, we'll add braised wild pheasant to tomorrow's lunch. You'll definitely be satisfied."
Lin Fan and the others shouted, "Wuhu! Long live Sister-in-law!"
Gu Yanxu glanced at them casually, and Lin Fan and the others, quick to notice, continued, "Long live the boss!"
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, exhausted from the day.
After rinsing up, Bai Tang collapsed onto the bed. "Ah~ it's so comfortable in bed, so comfortable in a big bed. I'm so tired all of a sudden."
Gu Yanxu also came over and lay down beside him. "A hug makes me feel less tired. Come on, wife, let me hug you."
Bai Tang waved her hand to indicate: Refusal.
Bai Tang was thinking, "How can I rest properly after letting you hug me? You must be joking."
Seeing that Bai Tang wasn't coming over, Gu Yanxu pounced on her and hugged her tightly.
Gu Yanxu thought to himself, "My sweet and soft wife~"
The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
...
For the next month, they basically went out early and returned late, and sometimes they would bring back some mutated animals to exchange for contribution points.
Since contribution points are universally accepted across all official platforms, it's always a good idea to accumulate more points, as they can be used in other official platforms as well.
Bai Tang is the type who believes in the best of everything except taking a loss; she always wants as much of everything as possible.
They also take on missions at the base from time to time, doing anything that can earn contribution points.
Bai Tang recently heard Zhao Lei say during a mission, "The base is planning to organize people to dig for supplies under the ice."
It seems the base officials know something, because as soon as the extreme heat comes, the thick ice layer melts, and the supplies frozen inside will quickly rot.
The higher-ups at the base must have noticed a rise in temperature, so they plan to organize people to dig up more supplies before the extreme heat arrives.
Following orders from above, the staff at the base's crop research institute have begun researching drought-resistant crops.
During this period, Bai Tang and his team also went on several missions with the official team, all of which involved excavating underground ice layers.
Bai Tang and his group simply and crudely used pinpoint bombs to blast open the ice layer. Anyway, the extreme heat hadn't arrived yet, and the thick ice layer was still in an indestructible state.
On the first day of extreme heat, the thick ice layer will melt rapidly due to the sudden rise in temperature.
In her previous life, Bai Tang saw many people fall into the melting ice holes at the base.
Those people will soon be swept away by the flowing water beneath the ice, with no chance of ever reaching the shore again.
Therefore, Bai Tang and his group's plan to go to the official base in Beijing can only be postponed until after the extreme heat, when the ice has completely melted and the water has evaporated.
...
Bai Tang and his team once again followed Zhao Lei's team to dig up the grain warehouses that the authorities hadn't had time to move. While searching for supplies under the ice, they encountered other people, not from the base.
They must be people from the remaining small base outside; they were all emaciated and pale.
When the group saw Bai Tang and her companions, a pitiful-looking little boy stepped forward:
"Do you have any food? We're starving. Could you share some of the supplies you just dug out with us?"
Bai Tang instantly became alert, even though the little boy appeared harmless and pitiful.
But in her past life, she had seen too many situations like this: one second they were pitiful little children, and the next they would come up and snatch your food.
Therefore, Bai Tang ignored this situation completely, adopting a "I won't offend others unless they offend me" attitude.
When the little boy saw that no one was paying attention to him, he went to Bai Tang, who seemed relatively easy to talk to.
"Sisters, could you share some food with me? Just a little bit would be fine."
Bai Tang: "Do I really look like a good person?"
The little boy was stumped by Bai Tang's question, but quickly said, "Sister looks like a good person, could you give me some food?"
Bai Tang knew that if she brought out food today, they might not be able to get out of here.
So Bai Tang directly refused: "We don't have any extra supplies either. If you want supplies, go dig through the ice yourselves. I don't have any here."
Seeing that Bai Tang wouldn't give him anything, the little boy tried to pounce on her and snatch her bag.
The canned food suddenly jumped out from the side and pinned the little boy down.
Bai Tang called out to the canned food, preventing him from biting through the little boy's throat.
Because there was a group of people eyeing the little boy's group, and the little boy was just a pawn they had sent.
"Canned Food, come back," Bai Tang called back to Canned Food.
The little boy was so frightened that he ran away without looking back, not even bothering to mention asking for supplies.
Bai Tang told Lin Zhou and Lin Feng to go down and tell Captain Zhao and the others who were still under the ice to hurry up.
