"Good!"

"But in the future, there will only be money and no walnuts!"

With the increase in sales, Lu Ting is also worried about the supply of [Three Squirrel Nut Monopoly], the people who grow walnuts in the village have exchanged walnuts for money a year ago, and the walnuts that they originally hoarded at home have also been disposed of. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Now the small walnuts that are delivered to the five buildings every day are bought at a high price from the vendors who stocked up the years ago, which is not only high, but also requires cash. If it weren't for the hot sales of [Three Squirrel Nut Exhibitions], Lu Ting would not have made such a decision. And Lu Feng no longer asked for small walnuts, which naturally made Lu Ting a little more relaxed.

That's why she answered Lu Feng's request so quickly.

…………

On the 190th day of the squirrel calendar, February 27, it was sunny.

Standing as tall as an aspen, Qu Ying stood on the sentry post of the unit station at 38 degrees Celsius with a Type 95 5.8mm automatic rifle on his back, his eyes like a torch, condensed into the distance.

This is a small outpost of the Northwest Military District stationed on the desert border, with a total of one squad of troops, except for an automatic rifle and a heavy machine gun, there is no other stronger firepower.

On the borders of the motherland and beside the high mountains and deserts, there are countless such posts, each of them is weak, but it is the tentacle of the state, and once broken, the behemoth will feel pain and raise its vigilance.

"Qu Zi, it's a shift change!"

"Good class, Lao Wang!"

The sentry is located on the top of the earth building, and can only be up and down through the internal ladder, but this earth tower with a height of less than ten meters is the highest point within a radius of ten miles.

It's past noon now, and it's about one o'clock in the afternoon, it's time for the sentry to change shifts, and the shouts of the squad elder Wang have been heard under the tulou, and at the same time, Qu Ying's stomach has also begun to protest, and bursts of chirps and acid reflux remind Qu Ying that it's time to eat.

He looked around to make sure that there would be no problems missing, so he bent down and walked up the ladder, ready to go downstairs to change shifts with Lao Wang, and he hurried back to the cafeteria to eat.

"I don't know what Lao Liu did in the cafeteria today?"

"Is it braised lamb chops, or scallion grilled chops, or what?"

Thanks to the country's increasingly developed transportation network, even the small remote sentry posts in Qu Ying's service can be replenished with enough supplies once a month, and with the power provided by the wind turbines overhead, a small ice storage allows the entire sentry soldiers to eat fresh vegetables and meat.

However, as he lowered his head and was about to retreat downstairs, he accidentally raised his head again, and immediately saw a thick cloud of smoke and dust blowing wildly from west to east in the desert.

"Lao Wang, the wind is blowing, wait and be careful!"

"When the wind rises, the wind rises, Qu Zi, you don't know the temper of the Desert Dragon King, if you don't blow a little sand and dust every day, you will be exhausted!"

"Come down, I'll be safe!"

Lao Wang below was already a little impatient, the sentry stipulated that the time for changing the guard should not exceed one minute, and he ran three laps around the outpost for more than one minute, he was not willing to run laps, so he hurriedly urged Qu Ying.

Qu Ying naturally knew the rules of the outpost, and after a reminder, he quickly came down from the ladder, and then Lao Wang stepped upstairs, stood still in the position where Qu Ying was standing just now, and then turned into a resolute statue.

"This old king, when he is reliable, he is still reliable!"

Looking at Lao Wang's straight figure, Qu Ying turned around and walked towards the canteen inside the sentry, thinking about what Lao Liu, the cooking soldier would do today, and then the sky immediately darkened, and a stream of rough sand slapped on Qu Ying's face.

"It's so fast!"

"Why is this sandstorm so fast!"

Although it has become common knowledge to plant trees to prevent soil erosion in recent years, sandstorms have already been the biggest natural disaster on the desertified land.

The sentry where Qu Ying was located was the one closest to the desert border, and such sandstorms experienced three hundred and sixty-five times a year, so Qu Ying didn't take it to heart, but pulled up his collar and trotted in the direction of the canteen according to the direction he usually wipes.

"Bang~!"

Just as Qu Ying began to trot, a drop of viscous liquid suddenly floated onto Qu Ying's face, cool and greasy, Qu Ying wiped it with his hand, but it was a faint fishy smell and a familiar color.

"Blood!"

Although he has never been on the battlefield, he still knows exactly what he is wiping from his cheeks with his hands. He immediately looked up at Lao Wang on the tulou not far away, and vaguely saw that he was still standing firmly, but the round blurred object on his shoulder seemed to be gone?

"Branding net~!"

Speaking in the sandstorm, the wind and sand immediately changed his tone, Qu Ying had to bow his head and turn around, ready to return to the tulou to take a look at the situation, but when he took a step to fight against the sandstorm, three pairs of big orange eyes suddenly flashed in the sandstorm, and then quietly approached Qu Ying, who was walking with his head down.

But when Qu Ying looked up at the top of the tulou again, all he saw was darkness and six orange lights attached to the edge of the darkness............

"Dong Yi, Dong Yi, please answer when you hear it!"

"Hole two, hole two, please answer if you understand!"

In the headquarters of the Northwest Military Region, in a spacious, bright building full of science and technology, hundreds of tall soldiers are calling for and contacting the sentry posts in the jurisdiction.

If the sentry posts stationed at the border are tentacles, then here are the ganglia that conduct information, and every time a sandstorm comes, the strong friction and magnetic field reaction will block the information of some of the sentry posts, and then the communication will be restored again after the sandstorm is over.

However, this time the sandstorm was more widespread and more intense!

"Commander, the intensity of the sandstorm is too great, and out of a total of six hundred and twenty-two outposts in the jurisdiction, three hundred and thirteen have lost contact!"

"Keep in touch, don't stop!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Hualiang has not closed his eyes for a day and a night, as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Military Region, he has seen such a big sandstorm from the major company commander to the lieutenant general commander in the Northwest Military Region, but it is the first time he has seen such a sandstorm that lasts so long and has such a wide shielding range.

"I hope it's not the ghosts of the Bald Eagle Country and the Polar Bear Country!"

"Commander, the sandstorm has receded!"

"What are you doing? Don't get in touch yet! ”

"Yes!"

"Dong Yi, Dong Yi, please answer when you hear it!"

"Hole two, hole two, please answer if you understand!"

“…………”

Fortunately, it didn't take too long to wait, and the sandstorm began to subside, Zhang Hualiang immediately issued an order and began to reconfirm contact with the outpost, and immediately the hall resounded with shouts one after another.
