Chapter 32: Supplies Required to Enter the Base
Lin Feng exclaimed in shock, "My goodness, Mu Mu can even transform into human form! Is she some kind of elf?!"
Mu Mu said, "I'm not an elf~ I'm a unique spirit in this space~"
Gu Yanxu told them, "Mu Mu needs to absorb enough golden spiritual power to transform into human form, which is why I had you exchange all the money you hadn't spent for gold before."
It has now absorbed all the remaining gold. Once we're settled in the base, we'll go out and look for more gold another day to bring back for Mumu.
Lin Zhou couldn't help but exclaim, "This is too amazing! It truly lives up to its name as a money-devouring beast!"
Bai Jiyang said, "Now that it's so cold outside, what else can't we do? The world is so big, there are all sorts of wonders."
Bai Tang clapped her hands: "Friends, let's get down to business first."
Lin Fan and the others said, "Okay, sister-in-law, we'll be right there."
Bai Tang moved two SUVs and a large RV directly in front of them within the space.
Although everyone was shocked, they quickly calmed down, and couldn't help but think: the boss and his wife are such a perfect match, they're a match made in heaven. If the boss wanted to commit murder or arson, his wife would definitely hand him the knife.
Without further ado, Lin Feng filled a basin with water, while Bai Jiyang dug soil from the nearby ground and poured it into the basin to mix it into muddy water.
Then Lin Fan and Lin Zhou were responsible for applying mud to the surface of the RV.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu were not idle either. Bai Tang took the basins of water that she had stockpiled before, and then asked Gu Yanxu to dig up soil and pour it into the basins, stirring it into muddy water. Then Bai Tang smeared the muddy water onto the off-road vehicle.
Anyway, I tried every possible way to make the car look old, otherwise, given the state of the outside world, who would still drive a new car?
If you drive a brand new car out right away, it's like telling everyone: "Something's wrong with me, come and get me."
Bai Tang and the others are cautious people, so of course they can't make this kind of mistake.
Bai Tang took out the snow she had secretly hoarded on her way back from collecting cold-weather supplies from her spatial storage.
They covered the car with snow, trying every possible way to make it look old.
Bai Jiyang and his group even hit the car with bricks a few times, denting a section of the car body.
Bai Tang imitated the action quite well, hitting the SUV a few times with a brick.
Seeing this, Gu Yanxu said, "You all need to take it easy when you smash it. Don't damage the important parts inside, or all the aging process will be for nothing."
Lin Feng said, "Don't worry, boss, we'll be careful with our strength."
After saying that, there was a loud "bang," and it slammed down again.
Fortunately, none of them were car enthusiasts, otherwise, seeing how they treated cars would probably make them lose their appetite.
After they finished aging all three cars, they played with Mu Mu for a while.
Bai Tang led them out and then packed her own things.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu also packed up their belongings in the house, taking all the furniture and kitchenware they were used to with them into their space.
Just like on the 21st and 22nd floors, Bai Tang cleaned up the house thoroughly, leaving only the floor tiles behind.
The stove was temporarily confiscated. Bai Tang and the others would probably need to eat one or two more meals before leaving, since they would just eat whatever was provided.
The stove isn't being stored away in the space yet because it's just too cold.
After Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu finished packing, they went to check on Bai Jiyang's packing progress.
I put his packed box directly into the space, and also put away some of his odds and ends from his room, leaving only the bed, blankets, and stove.
The same procedure was followed when they went to Lin Fan's and the other two's rooms. They planned to rest for another night, so they left the beds, blankets, and stoves behind for easy tidying up later.
Another night passed, and the next morning when they got up for breakfast, they kept a close eye on the movements on the ice downstairs.
They checked to see if anyone was driving to the base. If so, they set off for the base. It wasn't until noon that they saw several cars heading towards the base.
Bai Tang put the rest of the house into her spatial storage, and then the group, dressed in their best, went out. Bai Tang was still carrying the canned food, making sure it passed through a clear path, since there were people at the base who kept cats and dogs.
When Bai Tang was rescued by the female base manager in Jin City in her previous life, her large dogs played a significant role.
They walked slowly in the opposite direction until they reached a deserted place before stopping.
After carefully observing the surroundings and confirming that there were no living people, Bai Tang took the RV and two off-road vehicles out of the space.
Lin Fan and Lin Feng drove an SUV, Bai Jiyang and Lin Zhou drove another SUV, and Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu drove a campervan.
Bai Tang also placed some supplies in each vehicle: bags of rice, flour, daily necessities, and some miscellaneous items. Bai Tang also placed some kitchen utensils in the RV to avoid them having to get in and check.
Bai Tang had also prepared some old rice in advance because Gu Yanxu said, "We need to pay for supplies to enter the Shengshi base." The six of them would probably have to pay a lot of supplies, but they could afford it.
They installed snow chains on the car and slowly drove towards the base.
Heading towards Nanshan, using the map they had downloaded beforehand, they drove slowly for three hours before finally seeing the base gate in the distance.
Along the way to the base, there were many other cars driving by, making Bai Tang and his group seem less conspicuous.
However, most people still carried large packs on foot, since during the flood season, only slightly higher-altitude areas were not submerged.
People in low-altitude areas had their homes flooded, let alone their cars, which had long been swept away by the floodwaters. With the freezing weather now in effect, it's even more difficult to find their cars.
Bai Tang and his group slowly drove over and found that there was a long queue at the entrance of the base, about one or two kilometers long. So they leisurely drove their three cars to the back of the queue.
Anyway, they have a motorhome, so it won't be long before they get in.
As soon as they parked their car, they saw a number of people with cars arriving one after another.
Bai Tang said to Gu Yanxu, "It seems that there are quite a few rich and capable people in Shengshi. Even at this time, they still have cars and gasoline."
Gu Yanxu said, "Shengshi's economy has always been doing well, so there are naturally many wealthy people."
While waiting in the car, Bai Tang was bored, so she began to observe the appearance of Nanshan Villa.
Because in her previous life she was at the Beijing base, she didn't know what the Shengshi base looked like.
Bai Tang only knew that Nanshan Villa was an ancient royal summer resort, which was not flooded because of its high elevation.
At first glance, the villa is surrounded by a high wall, a simple and ancient gate, and guards on patrol, which gives people a strong sense of security.
Although the line to enter the base was long, it only took two hours before it was Bai Tang's turn.
Gu Yanxu drove to the roadside fence and opened the window on Bai Tang's side.
The staff at the entrance told her, "Hello, you need to show your personal identification to enter the base. If you don't have identification, you can give your ID number."
Bai Tang handed all six of their ID cards directly to the staff, while Lin Fan and the other three also stuck their heads out so the staff could verify their basic information first.
After a simple check, the staff member handed the ID cards to the person registering the information sitting next to him, asking him to log the basic information of the six people into the base system.
This shows that the base has now restored most of its usable systems or rewritten a new statistical system.
