#303 - Chapter 303 It’s really you!
May 1st.
Today is another sunny day.
A few days have passed since the geomagnetic disturbance, and after the initial surprise, everyone quickly readjusted to the new environment.
There haven't been any major changes.
Recently, Qin Jin has been adding various beneficial medicines to the food to reduce the discomfort caused by the magnetic field changes.
Might as well use them while we have them.
The biggest impact has been the loss of many treasured possessions and the temporary grounding of drones.
Other things like the reduced working range of walkie-talkies are relatively minor.
The military radio station connecting the oil base and the main base is indeed a top-notch product, and after enduring the initial two days of magnetic field fluctuations, it re-established contact with the other side yesterday!
Although there is still some interference and static, it doesn't affect overall use.
Regarding vehicles, only a few new energy vehicles parked outdoors were scrapped, while other fuel vehicles can still be driven after losing some electronic functions.
In the past few days, cadres like Yuan Mu and Li Xu have also been inspecting the impact of this change, and so far, no major problems have been found.
This has relieved Qin Jin of most of his worries.
The rice has been planted for two months, and with harvest time just a month or so away, he doesn't want to see any problems with the grain cultivation!
This is crucial!
Fortunately, the situation is still good.
Of course, he can't relax, and he has instructed Yuan Mu to strengthen monitoring to ensure grain production!
Since the greenhouse was built at the branch base, seedlings have already been planted in April.
The greenhouse planting area at the branch base covers more than thirty acres, and he has high expectations for it.
This portion of grain was planted more than a month later than the main base, and is expected to be harvested in July or August.
The entire Green Source Base continues to develop rapidly.
******
Shantou City.
Near the coal mine.
A small residential area surrounded by several buildings has appeared next to the mining area at some point.
There are three buildings here, surrounded by shipping containers.
Some items are piled on the containers, adding up to a height of four or five meters!
It has become a miniature shelter!
At this time, in the open space inside, several men and women are talking about something.
"Cai, you must be extra careful this time! Remember to listen to Team Leader Liu, and ask him for help if anything happens! Mom and Dad are here waiting for you to come back!"
Huang Cailan's face is full of reluctance as she repeatedly urges her daughter.
Li Hongwen next to her has a similar expression.
They don't know if it's right or wrong for their daughter to follow Green Source's transport team to their base.
Unfortunately, they couldn't stop her.
"Dad, Mom! I will take good care of myself, so don't worry!"
Li Cai is wearing a well-fitting tracksuit, carrying a large backpack, and wearing a baseball cap, with a playful ponytail at the back of her head.
She looks much cleaner and fresher than before.
She didn't deliberately dress up, and even deliberately wore a hat to suppress her beauty.
But a sunny and comfortable aura can still be felt by those around her.
"I will take care of myself. I'll go there and play with Brother Li and A Zhen for a while before coming back. Besides, Brother Liu and the others are very nice, so you don't have to worry."
She held her mother Huang Cailan's hand, smiling and comforting her.
"And your daughter is not an ordinary person!"
After saying that, Li Cai winked at her parents.
"Tsk."
Li Hongwen did not refute his daughter, but still felt reluctant to see her leave his side.
"Okay, I'm going over to Brother Liu and the others now. It wouldn't be good to keep them waiting. See you in a few days, Mom and Dad."
Li Cai looked at the women's mechanical watch on her left wrist. It was almost seven o'clock, and Liu Wenhao's convoy transporting coal back to the Green Source Base was about to set off.
She waved goodbye to her parents, greeted an uncle guarding the gate on the container, and sped off after confirming that there were no zombies outside.
"Ah, this child."
Huang Cailan watched her daughter's departing figure with reluctance, not knowing what to say.
Li Hongwen walked to her side and put his arm around her shoulder, comforting her:
"A Cai is all grown up, let's believe in her!"
"......"
The couple leaned on each other in silence.
Not far from the coal mining area, a row of five or six heavy trucks was ready and prepared to depart.
"Everyone, get ready, we'll return to the base in a while."
Liu Wenhao shouted to the team.
They only arrived yesterday and need to transport the coal back to the base today.
The amount of coal transported each trip has recently increased to 500 tons!
That Manager Li is indeed a capable person, achieving Green Source's initial goal ahead of schedule.
Now the transport team has increased to five vehicles, plus the escorting explosion-proof vehicle, making a total of six.
"Big Brother Liu, I'm here!"
Just as they were about to set off, Li Cai arrived.
"Have you said goodbye to your parents? Don't let Manager Li say I'm abducting his daughter when I come over next time."
Liu Wenhao welcomed Li Cai in and joked with her with a smile.
After this period of contact, Liu Wenhao has become familiar with the survivors at this coal mine.
Especially this daughter of the other party's leader, who gives people a comfortable feeling like a girl next door, always inexplicably calming people's mood.
According to what they talked about before, today he will take Li Cai to Green Source to reunite with Li Shenglin's team.
This is a group of people who have rare friendship in the apocalypse.
"Yes! I've settled them! Let's go!"
Li Cai showed a big smile, parked her electric scooter next to the building, and greeted the Green Source team members one by one in a familiar manner.
After confirming that there were no problems with the team's vehicles, they quickly began to drive in the direction of Guangyuan City.
******
"We were so scared in Shenzhen before! Not many people survived in our community. Everyone stayed in their houses, and we communicated by shouting..."
"After about a month, the food left by everyone was running out, and the zombies outside were getting scarier and scarier. I heard people say that the zombies were getting stronger, and the zombie density in Shenzhen was too high, so I suggested that everyone leave and move to Guangyuan City, where there are fewer people."
On a certain road, the Green Source coal transport convoy is driving at a constant speed.
Inside the leading explosion-proof vehicle, Li Cai is sitting in the back seat, vividly describing the situation and experience of the apocalypse outbreak to the people in the car.
"You guys have had it pretty rough."
Liu Wenhao, in the passenger seat, couldn't help but sigh.
These members of the Green Source main base have been enjoying the protection of the high walls since the Night of Mutation.
Only the combat team members often go out to perform tasks, so they have not experienced the powerlessness and helplessness of most survivors outside.
"Yeah! We were so scared at that time, always worried about being eaten by zombies! Then we discussed leaving Shenzhen together, but on the first day we came out, we were surrounded by zombies on the road and almost died! Fortunately, a group of mysterious people saved us!"
Speaking of this, Li Cai couldn't help but ask the question that had been buried in her heart for a long time.
This question has been buried in her heart for a long time!
"Big Brother Liu, I've wanted to ask for a long time, did you go to the junction of Shenzhen and Dongguan around November last year? And saved a minibus that was surrounded by zombies?"
With anticipation and nervousness, Li Cai looked expectantly at Liu Wenhao in the passenger seat.
"Huh!?"
Team Leader Liu widened his eyes, turned his head to look at Li Cai with some surprise, and said in an unexpected tone:
"Yes!"
"So you were on that minibus at the time!?"
"!!!!!"
Li Cai's heart was boiling like it had exploded!
It really is you!!!
