Chapter 385: Opportunity
Luo Yuanqian did not speak.
She walked behind the third uncle. The carpet soaked up the sound of her footsteps, making her figure ghostly.
Her hand rested on the back of the third uncle's wheelchair, and her white fingertips looked like white bones in the dim light.
At the same time, Fang Ru's mood was exceptionally good.
Of course, no matter how good the mood is, the principles must be adhered to. The pot was beaten for touching Fang Ru's medicine without permission. It's a literal beating. Fang Ru used a small net to pack the pot and hang it on the beams of the house, and then whipped it five or six times with a small leather whip.
The wail of the pot spread throughout the entire C area, and the aftermath lingered for three days.
Later, when Kirido curiously stroked the tender little finger of the pot (that is, the bottom of the pot), the pot's pig-like cry frightened Kirito and ran back to the room.
The pot insisted that Fang Ru rub the gold sore medicine for him.
Fang Ru laughed: "You can't absorb it." ”
However, he couldn't stand the splashing and rolling of the pot, so Fang Ru still smeared him with a thick layer of peppermint oil.
The delicate fragrance of peppermint oil is refreshing. With the company of the pot, Fang Ru's process of refining the potion was very smooth. First of all, she analyzed the unintentional work of the pot, sorted out a prescription that could be mass-produced, and then improved the medicine while trial making.
The pot was curious about what Fang Ru was doing. But Fang Ru didn't seem to be going to tell him what the potion was for this time this time. The pot asked a few times, but Fang Ru was silent, just told him that there would be results soon, which made the pot's heart itch.
He must know if his whip is worth it.
Soon, his chance came.
Feng Mao informed Fang Ru. The base will organize a large number of people to go to Beiling City in the near future.
"There is not enough coal at the base. You also know that according to the solar terms, summer has only passed for a week. The time is too tight, and even if the families in the base are at full capacity, the cold materials they have prepared are limited after all. Coal in particular, has been burned for a long time these days. ”
Fang Ru snorted. Since the sudden drop, there has been a power outage in the rest of the base except for Area A. Luckily, this is the north, and central heating is standard. If you distribute coal to every household. It will be consumed faster.
"So. Is the high-level of the base going to organize people to pull coal? Fang Ru asked, "Is it dangerous?" ”
Feng Mao on the other end of the phone smiled with relief. "In the plan of the base's top management for Beiling City, this should be the safest. Previously, the base had repeatedly sent people to explore the way, and found that the snow in Beiling City was thicker than ours. The zombies were sealed in snow. They cleared the place where the coal needed to be pulled through beforehand. It doesn't matter if it's snow or zombies. It's all gone. Moreover, pulling coal is manual work, and there are many laborers to go, and there are even more people with extraordinary abilities to protect laborers. There is a huge group of people. After that, I don't know if the weather will suddenly get hot and release the zombies from other places. All in all, this is your best chance to go to Beiling City. ”
In that case, there is no time to lose. Fang Ru inquired carefully: "There is no coal factory in Beiling City, right?" "Coal mines are even more impossible," where is the base going to pull coal? ”
"That's exactly what I'm worried about." Feng Mao sighed, "It's true that there is no coal plant in Beiling City, but there is a large thermal power station. In addition, some boiler rooms are stocked with coal all year round, and together they are in considerable quantities. But the route of this operation is a bit far from the convention and exhibition center you want to go to. At that point, you may need to leave the group for a while. ”
Fang Ru understood. Pulling coal is a major matter related to the survival of the northern base, and it is impossible to accommodate her for private matters.
"That's okay. I'll just hire a team of Adepts to protect me. "Anyway, the mummy doesn't sink, and when you get her, you will return to the team.
Feng Mao opened his mouth, but closed it. It is useless to persuade. My cousin, when I encounter good medicinal herbs, it is like a wolf encountering meat.
"I'll hire the team." Feng Mao said, "There are several big teams that I am familiar with. ”
However, most of the teams with heads and faces have been assigned tasks by the base. Feng Mao went through the names of the teams one by one in his mind, maybe he could pick up a leak.
"No need." Fang Ru shook his head, although Feng Mao couldn't see it, "I'll go and invite the foothill clan." They weren't assigned a mission by the base, were they? ”
"That's fine. I will bless them for taking care of you. ”
That's for the best. Fang Ru talked to her cousin about the specific details again, and hung up the phone with satisfaction.
"Fang Ru, do you really want to go?"
"Of course." Fang Ru smiled and poked the pot, like poking a little baby's face. "Don't worry, it's not just for you. I do need to use the powder of the mummy to maintain the normal flow of the essence of heaven and earth in the base. ”
But the main reason is to make a body for me.
The living die, the dead live, only this bridge of life and death can liberate his half-dead soul.
"Oops!"
The pot suddenly hurts. Fang Ru pinched the edge of his pot, which was equivalent to pulling his face.
"Does it hurt?" As if Fang Ru's conspiracy had succeeded, he happily asked, "I have a hunch that the zombie vaccine or antidote may also use mummy powder." I'm not just for you, but for the whole base, including you. Don't be sentimental. ”
"You're great." The pot stretched out his hand and rubbed the painful place pinched by Fang Ru unpleasantly.
Under the pressure of the bitter cold, the base was vigorous, and after only twenty-four hours, everything was ready.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Fang Ru's brigade left the base on time and headed for Beiling City.
The moment he stepped out of the gate of the base, Fang Ru couldn't help but be amazed.
So beautiful.
The heavy snow, which was several stories thick, forcibly dug out a trench two lanes wide, starting from the base gate and extending outward. The cross-section is perpendicular to the ground, and you can see that the snow in the lower layer is compacted under its own weight, developing into an ice form.
The oblique sunlight is reflected by the ice, and the waves are bright, like a fantasy. The snow was so thick that it obscured people's view. People can't see anything except the blue sky overhead, as if they have come to a ghost world, or an underground tomb, and can only go forward, forward, without end and beginning.
Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear.
Fang Ru didn't know how long he had been gone, he only knew that his shadow had changed from left to right. Finally, there was a rumbling sound ahead. In front of her large team was a team of labourers who set off first, and were responsible for opening the last section of the road. People sweat like rain, and when they hit the ground, they turn into ice droplets.
Frozen for thousands of miles. No more worrying about the sound attracting sleepless dead.
"Beiling City in front?" Fang Ru asked uncertainly.
"That's right."
The captain of the fire team beside him replied a little confused.
Li Si ruthlessly rejected Fang Ru's employment, and in the end, Fang Ru hired this fire team at the recommendation of Feng Mao.
"Miss Fang, what's wrong?" (To be continued......)
