Chapter 183 Uneasy
Bai Tang had them put the cloth in the hut, and then she put the poles into her spatial storage.
Back inside, Bai Tang told them in detail what Captain Zhao Lei had said.
After listening to what Bai Tang said, Lin Fengthen said:
"So, are we going to provide protection or to serve as labor?"
Gu Yanxu said, "Both types of people may have to both protect and provide labor."
However, we should also go out and see the world. If we stay in our comfort zone, we will lose our vigilance.
Some things can only be truly understood in their cruelty when witnessed firsthand.
Now they had no objections. Grandpa Gu said:
"You must be careful when you go out this time."
It's pitch black outside the base; who knows what kind of danger might lurk there.
Bai Tang comforted them, saying, "Don't worry, even if there's any danger, we can still enter the space in time."
Because it's pitch black outside the base right now.
So even if we encounter danger and manage to enter the space, they won't notice.
This is just the worst-case scenario; we've always been lucky.
...
Two days later, Captain Zhao Lei came to discuss the specific meeting time and place with them.
Captain Zhao Lei said, "I went to find Wei Junyuan and his military squad."
They also agreed to join us on this mission and provide a heavy truck.
This way we won't have to worry about making trips back and forth repeatedly.
They set the time to meet near the base entrance at 8:00 AM the next morning.
Because there are large lights at the entrance of the base, and the lighting is better there, they tentatively decided to meet there.
After explaining these precautions to Bai Tangand the others, Captain Zhao Lei went back to pack his things.
After Captain Zhao Lei left, Bai Tang told them, "It's still polar night outside the base."
On the road, we were never sure what we might encounter.
Therefore, please be sure to pay attention to your own safety.
If you encounter any problems, try your best to come to me first.
If anything seems amiss, I'll take you into this space.
When you're out and about, your own safety should be your top priority before worrying about others.
Bai Jiyang said, "Sister, we all know."
Bai Tang was also worried about them, because the dangers lurking in the darkness were unknown.
That's why she spoke to them so seriously about these requirements this time.
After saying these words to them, Bai Tangbegan preparing the things to take in the car.
Of course, some food is indispensable, as are some lighting tools and so on.
After making preparations, they all went to rest early that night.
...
They woke up at six o'clock the next morning, according to the time broadcast by the base.
I had a simple breakfast at home and rested for a while.
They didn't leave home by car until around 7 a.m.
At their pace, they arrived near the base entrance around 7:40.
Captain Zhao Lei set the meeting time at eight o'clock so that everyone could have a proper breakfast at home to replenish their energy.
When they arrived, they found that Captain Zhao Lei and his team were already waiting there.
Captain Zhao Lei saw their team arrive and waited for them to park their car next to him.
As usual, Captain Zhao Lei walked towards them with two Walkie-talkies in his hand:
"Come on, one Walkie-talkie per car so we can communicate easily."
Bai Tang and his team reached out and took the Walkie-talkie. At that moment, another team arrived in a car.
Another team parked their car next to them, and their leader, Wei Junyuan, got out and came over to greet them.
Captain Zhao Lei also gave him a few Walkie-Talkies to take to their team's vehicle.
Captain Zhao Lei said, "Since you're already here, why don't you take this back with you to your team?"
Wei Junyuan took the Walkie-talkie and went back to the car, distributing it among the vehicles of his team.
Bai Tang looked back and saw that Wei Junyuan's team had several SUVs and a heavy truck.
It was perfect for moving glass, but Bai Tang still felt uneasy.
But she didn't say it out loud, for fear of upsetting everyone.
However, when the convoy set off, Bai Tang hadMu Mu constantly explore the surroundings within the space.
Mu Mu can now detect situations 30 meters away.
With Mu Mu around, Bai Tang's unease was somewhat relieved.
Because it was completely dark outside the base, with nothing but the headlights of their convoy of vehicles providing illumination.
Their convoy drove towards the glass factory, gradually leaving the vicinity of the base entrance.
All they could see was the road ahead illuminated by the car headlights; they couldn't see anything else.
Therefore, the convoy was not moving very fast; they could only move forward little by little.
Mu Mu was constantly giving Bai Tang real-time updates on the situation outside.
Nothing terrible happened along the way.
Although they were slow, they arrived near the glass factory by noon.
Because the glass factory was not far from the base.
That's why they didn't waste that much time.
The base did not send out multiple military trucks for fear of causing panic within the base.
That's why this task was given to Captain Zhao Lei and his team.
The base also assigned Wei Junyuan and his team to work with Captain Zhao Lei.
They soon arrived at the glass factory, where the headlights illuminated the factory's dilapidated exterior walls.
Everyone was feeling heavy-hearted, but they had no time to grieve.
Because every minute they spend in the dark outside increases their danger.
So Captain Zhao Lei arranged parking onWalkie-talkie.
Point the car lights in all directions so that they can react quickly in case of any emergency.
After parking the car, everyone got out with their belongings and followed the line in front into the glass factory, which no longer had a gate.
The traces of the flood have disappeared, leaving only the appearance after being exposed to the scorching sun.
The glass on the factory's surface had long been washed away and disappeared.
They were all carrying powerful flashlights, searching for intact glass in the open areas of the factory.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu said, "The glass on the ground must have been gone a long time ago."
Gu Yanxu whispered, "There might still be some intact ones in the warehouse."
But it seems they don't want to give up what might be available outside.
Soon, someone found several intact pieces of glass in the corner that hadn't been washed away.
Captain Zhao Lei quickly arranged for people to carefully move the glass onto the car.
Glass is very brittle and can easily break if you're not careful.
After moving those few pieces, Bai Tang looked at the glass factory in front of him, and his unease intensified.
She asked herself again, " Is there anything going on around Mu Mu? I've been feeling uneasy."
Mu Mu said, "I kept looking but didn't find anything."
However, it's also possible that I didn't notice it, because the factory area is too large.
