Chapter Seventy-Six: The Right Way to Show Goodwill
More than half a month has passed since Yanagihara and Al left the West No. 5 greenhouse, perhaps due to the remnants of the blizzard, except for the first few days when the weather was good, the wind and snow on their journey have been heavy for the next ten days.
Of course, this has no effect on Liu Yuan, after all, even if there is another big storm, it is estimated that it will only make her sneeze.
But for Al, such bad weather was enough to make it difficult for her to move an inch.
For a week, the girl was huddled in the corner of the carriage, draped in the military canvas used to set up the tent, with the face shield and windproof goggles purchased in the greenhouse, and her lips trembled palely.
Even when eating, she needs to have Yanagihara bring it to her mouth.
Obviously, this will not work.
In the wind and snow, Yanagihara drove the car, looked at Al curled up in the rearview mirror, and sighed helplessly.
Judging from the map, it will take at least half a month for them to reach the next greenhouse.
But if the weather is still so cold after that, then Al may not even survive the next week.
If only I could find a place where I could take a break from the wind and snow.
Yanagihara thought so, his eyes looking out into the snowfield.
At least with the current material reserves, they can fully support them to wait until a better weather before setting off.
However, on top of the ice field, where else can I escape the cold other than a greenhouse?
I'm really in a big problem.
Thinking like this with a headache, Yanagihara inadvertently glanced to the left of the snowfield.
The next moment, in the dense snow, she seemed to see a faint building.
This made Yanagihara stunned for a moment, and then she turned the car around and drove in the direction of the building.
To be sure, she wasn't worried about any danger, because on the ice field, nothing was more dangerous than a cold snap in the middle of the night.
So no matter what, the appearance of this building means that they have a place to live tonight.
The snow was so great that it wasn't until Yanagihara drove the snowmobile in front of the building that she could officially see what it looked like.
This is probably an astronomical observatory, as a huge astronomical telescope is erected above the building.
The building is divided into three floors, covering an area of about 500 square meters.
The place is not small, and I don't know if it has been abandoned.
It's getting dark.
Slowly stopping the car on the snow in front of the building, Yanagihara stepped out of the car, came to the side of the car, patted Al on the shoulder, and whispered.
"Al, are you still awake?"
"Huh?" In a trance, Al opened his eyes.
At this time, her body was covered with snowflakes, and her hands and feet were frozen.
Seeing Yanagihara, the girl was stunned for a moment, and then asked weakly.
"Are we there?"
"Not yet." Yanagihara shook his head, then raised his hand and pointed to the building behind him.
"But I've found a place where you can get warmer."
The exterior walls of the building can effectively resist the wind and snow, and when the time comes, as long as the stove is lit, the girl can feel better.
"Really?" Al raised his eyes, looked at the building behind Yanagihara, half-ranging, pursed his lips, and staggered out of the carriage to get up.
"Then let's go inside."
"Hmm." Yanagihara nodded, reached out and helped the girl out of the carriage and towards the inside of the building.
The building's door was locked, so Yanagihara had to take Al through an unlocked window.
The moment he entered the building, Yanagihara was sure that it was not abandoned.
Because the heating was on on the first floor of the building at the moment, the oncoming warmth made Al's face flush a little rosy at the first time.
"Looks like we're going to have to be polite." Yanagihara looked around and said.
"There may be other people living here."
"Then doesn't it matter if we just break in like this?" Al asked worriedly, looking at the lights in the room that were getting brighter as they entered.
Apparently, there are also some devices like voice-activated lights installed here.
"It's called special treatment in special circumstances." Yanagihara shrugged his shoulders: "Living in the ice field, you always need to think about your own personal safety first. ”
"Now I just hope that the people who live here are happy enough to share." With that, Yanagihara reached out and closed the half-open window and led Al towards the depths of the building.
"At least we can have a relatively friendly exchange."
However, as they went deeper, Yanagihara and Al gradually discovered that this place was not just inhabited by people.
The reason for this is that some artificially cultivated flower beds gradually appeared on both sides of the aisle, and some flower-like plants were planted in them.
You know, the flowers and plants on the ice fields are more precious than rare ores.
They are usually planted in the center of the greenhouse, and they are specially cultivated by specialized people to survive the delicate life.
But this is obviously just an observatory built on an ice sheet, so how can there be so many plants?
Watch as Al is drawn to these petite things.
Yanagihara frowned, probably unable to understand the scene in front of him.
When they reached the hall on the first floor, Al, who was still in high spirits, was startled by the scene in the hall.
Because at the moment, the hall is full of potted flowers and plants, which make this place look like a small ecological garden.
Al had never seen so many plants in her life, or she hadn't seen any plants at all. This made her cry out subconsciously, and her body took a step back, her eyes flustered and blank to look around, almost at a loss.
Fortunately, Yanagihara reached out in time to support her shoulder, which didn't make her fall directly to the ground in fright.
"Yanagihara, are these all plants?" It must have swallowed softly, Al turned his head sideways, looked at Yanagihara and asked out loud.
There were so many things here that she had never seen before, whether it was the lines on the potted trees or the strangely shaped flowers, which made her feel a little scared.
It is undeniable that the unknown can be unsettling at any given time.
"Hmm." Yanagihara replied softly, then took out the pistol in his arms and pointed to a corner of the hall.
"If you're here, come out, we have no ill will."
It has been proven that hearing that is far beyond the average human can be useful in addition to reducing the quality of sleep.
Now, for example, Yanagihara feels the breath of a third person.
