Chapter 182 Glass
As Bai Tang was pondering, there was a knock on their front door.
Captain Zhao Lei's voice came from outside: " Is Captain Bai home? Open the door."
While Lin Feng and the others were still dismantling things, Bai Tang quickly walked to the gate and opened it for Captain Zhao Lei.
When Captain Zhao Lei came in, Bai Tang asked, " What brings Captain Zhao here to see us?"
Captain Zhao Lei said, "I learned at the base that our base is planning to build a large greenhouse mainly made of glass."
However, there wasn't much glass inside the base, so they wanted to send people out to search for it.
I was thinking that if our two teams go together, we can look out for each other and share the spoils better."
Bai Tang is trying to figure out what excuse to use to get a large quantity of glass.
Just as I was feeling sleepy, they came to bring me a pillow.
Bai Tang said, "Did the base say where to find the glass?"
"We can't just wander around in the dark looking for it, can we?"
Captain Zhao Lei explained: "There is a glass factory near the base."
There should be intact glass inside, but it's uncertain whether it can be found now.
Because the torrential rains and floods of the past few years may have washed away the glass.
In addition, glass was not needed in the early stages of the base's construction.
Therefore, the base doesn't pay much attention to the glass aspect.
I don't know why they suddenly came up with the idea of building greenhouses with glass.
But since the base needs it, it must be useful.
We'll look for more depending on the situation, and keep some for ourselves.
There are rules within the base that these teams can only leave the base to carry out missions.
What you get outside the base, except for the amount the base is required to obtain.
They can use or sell the remaining surplus.
However, no squad has left the base for a mission since Polar Night.
Captain Zhao Lei was also aware of the seriousness of the situation, even though their base was now illuminated by the Artificial Sun.
However, the area outside the base was still completely dark, and they had no idea what dangers lay within.
Fortune has always been found in danger; the bold get rich, and the timid starve.
However, Captain Zhao Lei did not force Bai Tang to agree in his words.
Regarding Captain Zhao Lei's speculation, Bai Tang said, "Perhaps the base foresaw some danger in advance."
Captain Zhao Lei nodded and said, "That's possible. Captain Bai, what do you guys think? Do you want to come along?"
Bai Tang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I was just thinking of getting some glass panels to cover the roof of our house."
Then Captain Zhao Lei noticed that Gu Yanxuand the others were dismantling things in the neighboring yard, so he asked:
What are you planning to do?
Bai Tang explained to him, "We feel that thesesunshade canopies are no longer needed, so we plan to remove them."
"We're looking to rebuild the glass canopy, and we're currently struggling to find glass. It just so happens that the base's mission also requires glass."
Captain Zhao Lei clapped his hands and said, "Isn't this perfect?"
It's a win-win situation, and you can also use the extra glass you bring back for your own home.
Since you're installing a glass canopy at your house, I'll get one for mine too.
Then Bai Tang asked, "Was this task posted atthe Base Administration Center, or was it picked up privately from within the base?"
Captain Zhao Lei replied to her: "It's an internal mission for the base squad; it wasn't issuedthrough the Administration Center."
Firstly, it's still dark outside the base, making it highly dangerous.
Secondly, it's better not to let too many people know about these things, otherwise it could easily cause panic.
If panic sets in, everyone might risk going outside the base to find glass.
Because whatever the Authorities do, the subordinates follow suit.
That's why we didn't post the task on The Authorities; it's for everyone's benefit.
Bai Tang said, "The base is doing this for the benefit of the base's residents."
However, if they really did predict the disaster that followed.
They will definitely inform you in advance after they have taken precautions.
We don't need to worry about these things; we just need to do our own jobs well.
Then Captain Zhao Lei spoke to Bai Tang about some important points.
Bai Tang said, "Shall we go with you to the Authorities base to pick up this mission?"
Captain Zhao Lei replied: "No need, I've taken on this task."
So I had to find the teams that were assigned to me.
Anyway, the base only gives out so manycontribution points. How many people I can find and how many people I can find are all up to me.
As soon as I heard about these good things, I rushed over to find your team.
Bai Tang laughed and said, "That's great! Now it's just the two of us teams?"
Captain Zhao Lei scratched his head and said, "Although I offered generous terms."
However, everyone was still afraid of the hidden dangers lurking in the darkness outside the base.
So for now, it's still just your team and our team.
Bai Tang asked, "Why don't we just send our two teams?"
Anyway, our two teams can look after each other, and we know each other well.
Captain Zhao Lei slapped his thigh and said, "That's true."
However, the base needs a large quantity of glass, and our two teams' trucks alone may not be able to transport it all.
And as you know, gasoline prices at our base are relatively high.
It's possible for our two teams to go, but if we haul it back trip after trip, it might consume a lot of gasoline.
Based on this calculation, it might not be so cost-effective.
So what I'm thinking of is finding another team with a car to join us.
Bai Tang suggested, "Have you contacted the military's squad?"
They shouldn't leak information, and they also have heavy trucks, which are perfect for hauling glass.
Captain Zhao Lei said, "You're right. I came to find your team as soon as I received this mission, and I haven't had a chance to go find them yet."
"You all go ahead with your work, I'll go find them right now."
As he was about to leave, Bai Tang called out to him, " Captain Zhao, you've been so busy talking about leaving the base that you haven't mentioned the time and place for the rendezvous."
Captain Zhao Lei turned around and said, "No rush, I'll let you know once I've made up my mind."
After saying that, he hurriedly left Bai Tang'shouse and headed towards the military dormitory.
By this time, Gu Yanxu and his group had already dismantled everything in the neighboring yard.
The group arrived at their courtyard, and Lin Fanasked:
"Sister-in-law, what did Captain Zhao say just now?"
Bai Tang told them, " Captain Zhao said the base has a mission to find glass."
They asked if we wanted to go with their team, and I agreed.
Do you have any opinions? Feel free to voice them.
Lin Zhou said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we have absolutely no objections."
"And since you're the captain, whatever you say goes."
Lin Fan, on the ladder, said, "Why did you steal my lines?"
At this moment, Bai Tang said, "It's nothing, I was just asking politely, it won't matter if you have any opinions."
Then the group quickly removed the sunshade canopy from the courtyard.
