"Be careful, don't trample my watermelon seedlings."
"Hehe, you're really capable. It's really different having coolies."
…
In the greenhouse, Yu Tian was carrying buckets of water. Wang Jingyi was squatting on the ground, measuring the growth of the nursery, and smiling as she watched Yu Tian help her water the ground, with a faint smile on her face.
"Phew - this is going to be okay."
Yu Tian placed the bucket on the ground and sat down next to Wang Jingyi.
Wang Jingyi took out two half-melted apples from her arms and handed one to Yu Tian: "Reward our captain for helping me work."
Click.
Yu Tian took a bite, and the sweet juice bloomed in his mouth along with the ice, and all the fatigue he had felt was gone.
Wang Jingyi tilted her head, her eyes slowly falling as a drop of sweat fell from the corner of Yan Xiaobai's eyebrows, and suddenly her face turned a little red: "Well, how do you plan to deal with the male and female issues among demon hunters? Or continue to implement military management?"
"No, I plan to let go." Yu Tian went to the ground: "As long as both parties do not violate their will, I will acquiesce to the establishment of a relationship between the two parties. After the relationship is confirmed, the man must provide due protection to the woman."
"Lin Qingya is now formulating regulations in this regard, which should be promulgated in a few days."
"It should have been like this a long time ago." Wang Jingyi also lay down, with a trace of excitement flowing between her brows: "Then do you plan to stick to one-on-one, or one-to-many?"
Wang Jingyi quietly turned her face away, her cheeks already turning red: "After all, as the boss of the entire team, you have only been around Lin Qingya before, and no one said anything."
"Now that you have set an example first, everyone will inevitably...what is it called? They will follow suit. Everyone will think that since you have a second one, will there be a third or fourth...
"
When Wang Jingyi said this, she almost buried her face in the soil.
"You damn girl, have you had your chicken blood injection today? Why are you asking more and more forbidden questions?"
"Um..." Yu Tian's face froze. He really hadn't considered this issue. It's not impossible to suppress it by force, but since he had already broken the precept, it seemed that maybe... he wouldn't be so convincing.
"Let's check the situation first...not sure."
Hearing this, Wang Jingyi suddenly raised the corner of her mouth to snicker for a second, but quickly stopped it. She stood up and patted her butt: "Have you rested enough for the bull? Help me plow the land again."
"good."
Yu Tian also stood up and picked up the hoe.
Yu Tian was plowing in the front, and Wang Jingyi was sowing seeds in the back. The two of them chatted without a word.
"How many things can we be self-sufficient with now?" Yu Tian asked.
"Among the vegetables, we have tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and eggplants. They mature in about five hours, which is much faster than before the apocalypse. We have dedicated staff to collect them."
"The fruits include pears, apples, grapes, strawberries, etc. When Wang Hu was patrolling, he got me a batch of pineapples. I want to try to see if I can grow them."
"Currently, the only staple foods are potatoes and sweet potatoes. The follow-up work of planting wheat and rice is too heavy and is not suitable for the current situation of our team. I plan to study it carefully after we settle down."
Yu Tian nodded. Wang Jingyi's research has also been making good progress. Although it does not directly help improve the team's combat capabilities like Huang Binghua, Wang Jingyi plays an indispensable role as the food reserve and nutritional source for the entire team.
Wang Jingyi paused: "Where is our next stop?"
"My original goal was Liaonan City, but now that the cold wave is coming and all kinds of information are cut off, I need to plan carefully."
Speaking of this, Yu Tian's eyes revealed a sense of hope. Liaonan City is the hometown of Du Wenying, the former deputy captain of the demon hunting team, but half a year has passed since the apocalypse began, and Yu Tian is not sure whether Du Wenying is there.
Or, under the double attack of this fourth widespread mutation and the cold wave, it is still unknown whether Du Wenying can still survive.
Wang Jingyi did not continue to ask, but kept pressing the seeds into the ground.
Sizzle.
The walkie-talkie made the sound of connecting electricity, and Chen Zhonghe's joyful voice came from inside: "Captain, the satellite communication is being replied. Come to the headquarters and have a look."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tian perked up and wiped the mud off his hands on both sides of his pants skillfully: "I'll go over there. If there's a shortage of people here, you can ask Lin Qingya for one."
"You go about your business." Wang Jingyi threw the entire backpack to Yu Tian: "There are fruits I prepared for you. You can eat them if you want. If there are not enough, ask me for more."
"Okay, let's go."
Yu Tian picked up his backpack and trotted all the way to the temporary headquarters. Chen Zhonghe, Xing Yaoguang and other demon hunter commanders were already in place. No one was controlling the computer, but it was rapidly popping up a string of codes. It was running rapidly and autonomously.
"It is the Ghost Queen who is controlling our computers and is working to re-establish network connections with the outside world." Chen Zhonghe's eyes were shining. The same was true for Xing Yaoguang and others.
In the nearly two months since the cold wave came, they have completely lost contact with Dragon City and the main force. Now everyone wants to know what is going on in Dragon City and outside.
"Ghost, report the specific situation." Yu Tiandong'an.
"The center of the cold wave passed over our heads half a month ago, and the geomagnetic field has started to change since ten days ago. I have been monitoring it. The magnetic interference five minutes ago dropped to the threshold, and I tried to connect to the external network."
"Currently, we have only received some fragmented external information, and most of it is of little value. You can listen to it."
"Zizzizi..."
"This is China Radio..."
"...The cold wave affected...communication...was interrupted, and now...will be restored..."
"Please all safety zones...immediately...report..."
Even if there is no valuable information at all, hearing a long-lost voice still feels like a shot in the arm.
This is the voice from their compatriots, and it also means that they will re-establish contact with the human army.
Even if this connection is insignificant in improving the current situation, the appearance of such a voice in the occupied areas of eastern China will fill the remaining people here with hope.
"Can we use the Seventh Field Army now?" Chen Zhonghe asked.
Ghost Queen: "No, the Seventh Field Army uses an encrypted channel for unilateral communication. We can only wait for them to contact us. Moreover, the current geomagnetic field has not been fully restored and cannot meet the basic requirements for long-distance communication."
"However, we should be able to receive more information about the outside world in the next few days. I want to use this information to update our original information and reconstruct the distribution map of safe areas across the country."
Everyone is very supportive of this. When the cold wave comes, many safe areas will be destroyed. The layout of the entire occupied area is different from before the cold wave. Now blindly following the original route will easily leave safety hazards.
"Go ahead and do it boldly. Let's make preparations first." Chen Zhonghe said with a smile. The atmosphere in the entire team was quite relaxed.
But after hearing the news, Yu Tian frowned slightly and suddenly said: "If it is connected to the outside world, does that mean the Red Scorpion can also track us again?"
