Chapter 85 - 85

Chapter 85 Roommate ModeWhen we first decided to live together, I thought someone would object, but everyone seemed happy about it and no one said anything.This room is the largest room in the entire villa, and it has a separate toilet. It was because of this that she chose to stay in her own house to sleep.Watching the male lead's action scenes in the TV series, it's like he's all show and no substance; the steel wires hanging behind him are very obvious.Fortunately, she's good-looking, and if you can make her laugh at funny parts, it's watchable.Hearing her younger brother's silvery laughter,Gu Lingxiao thought it sounded a bit like a girl's. She shook her head helplessly. Her brother was still a child, and she didn't know when he would grow up. What was so interesting about those soap operas?Hearing the crunching sound of potato chips, I thought for a moment and then reached my hand over the curtain."Give me two bags of barbecue flavor too."Su Xiaoyu immediately did as she was told, finding two bags of barbecue flavor and stuffing them into his hands. The biggest advantage of sharing a room with him was that she could eat whatever she wanted.He'd already seen everything in the space, so there was nothing to hide.Occasionally, I'll send some to Lin Xiuxiu, saying it's old stock. Now that we have the base as a shield, we can claim it was bought with contribution points. In short, we can't let everyone's lives be too bad.That's nearly 1 billion worth of supplies. If she were to eat them all by herself, it would take thousands of years.Thinking that I am just an ordinary person with this body, and that I would be lucky to live for a hundred or two hundred years, I should enjoy life while I can and not think too much.Gu Lingxiao felt her mouth was a little dry after eating potato chips and didn't want to drink water, so she reached her hand to the other side of the curtain again."Give me another drink, no sugar."Su Xiaoyu immediately took out two cups of milk tea from her spatial storage, keeping one for herself and placing the other in his hand."Milk tea doesn't taste good without sugar. I saved a few cups of it without sugar back then, but now I only add sugar. I'll give you a cup with 30% sugar, just make do with it!"Gu Lingxiao has developed a fondness for milk tea, a habit formed recently. It's true that old habits can be changed, and it's not just because there's someone else in his room.The pink and white curtains look like something a girl would use.Sipping milk tea and eating potato chips, it felt like going back to a time before natural disasters, when the young women in the office often enjoyed drinking milk tea and eating potato chips.At the time, he just glanced at it and thought it was all junk food, but now he thinks junk food is actually quite delicious.Most importantly, it can make you feel happy after eating it.Su Xiaoyu finally finished watching this episode of the TV series, finished her milk tea, turned off the small lamp next to her, and went back to bed to sleep.She fell asleep almost instantly.Gu Lingxiao knew that people were asleep when the lights were off, so he also turned off his lights and went to sleep, which was his daily routine.The next morning.After they finished breakfast, they went to the mission hall and received three missions, making it a perfect team of three.Gu Lingxiao and Su Xiaoyu went on the farthest mission: to go up the mountain to find a coal mine and then organize people to transport it back.The other two tasks were relatively simple: one was to search for relief supplies at a hospital 200 miles away, and the other was to search for supplies at several nearby factories.The weather is getting warmer. The outdoor temperature is now around -20 degrees Celsius, so people can move around outside, and there are quite a few people going out to carry out missions.Gu Lingxiao selected ten people on the spot to form a team, and then went to the parking lot to find Lao Yuan and asked him for a large truck and a van, which was enough to carry all these people.After everything was ready, they got into the car and set off at nine o'clock sharp, with Jin Jun in their group.The other two teams were led by Liu Hai andXiao Tengyue. They were given guns for self-defense, as they didn't know what kind of people they might encounter. Things would get chaotic outside once the temperature warmed up.Instruct them not to cause trouble, but also not to be afraid of trouble.With their skills, escaping wouldn't be difficult.They split into three groups to carry out the mission.Lin Xiuxiu got up early and made dry food for everyone. She made pancakes with flour, filled with ham and pickled vegetables, packed them in plastic bags, wrapped them in towels, and put them in the inner pocket of her down jacket so they would still be warm when she got hungry.As noon approached, Su Xiaoyu sat in the passenger seat eating a pancake and then taking a sip of hot water from a thermos. It felt so comfortable.Of the ten temporary hires, only two could drive: one had a five-year driver's license and the other had a one-year license. We decided to let the one with the five-year license drive the minivan.Another driver, whose license was only one year old, took turns driving with Gu Lingxiao. His name was Xu Weiguo. He was not tall, had a round face, and spoke with a strong Northeastern accent. He became familiar with them within 10 minutes of getting in the car.The large trucks lead the way, and the minivans follow behind.Su Xiaoyu shared a pancake with him, and seeing that he was enjoying it, she casually asked him a question.Do you usually bring food when you go out on missions?Xu Weiguo: "If I have any at home, I'll bring it with me. If not, I'll just have some water to drink. Anyway, as long as I'm not going too far, I'll have a hot meal when I get home at night. These days, just being able to survive is enough. What more could I ask for?"Su Xiaoyu: "That makes sense. As long as we have food, why think so much?"Xu Weiguo ate half of the pancake, then picked it up and put it in his arms."I'll take the rest back for my wife. The pancakes you made are so delicious; I haven't had anything this good in a long time."Su Xiaoyu thought this person was nice, and that he cared about his wife.They changed locations once along the way and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain at 1 p.m.Much of the ice on the road has melted, but it's still very slippery, so we weren't driving very fast.Driving on the narrow mountain road is prone to accidents, so they have to get out of the car and walk up the mountain.We need to check the situation at the coal mines in the mountains. If there's coal available outside, they can just transport it back.They brought dozens of bags with them when they set off, and had these people follow along so they could carry the coal down the mountain.Once the coal is transported to the base, the revenue will be distributed to them based on their contribution points, and then distributed per person.The conditions were very reasonable; otherwise, so many people wouldn't have come. The people selected were all strong and healthy.After more than half an hour, we finally arrived at the gate of the coal plant.The gate was tightly closed, with no signs of damage, so it seemed that no one had come.Gu Lingxiao took out a wire and unlocked the gate, then let the people behind her go in first.Once everyone is inside, close the main gate.Walking along the path, you soon arrive at a large platform with a lot of coal piled up outside, probably more than ten tons.Xu Weiguo jumped up excitedly, "We're rich! We're rich now! We'll transport all this coal back and keep some for ourselves, then hand it over to the base. We'll get a lot more contribution points in return!"
