Chapter 81 Qualification
Lin Fan covered his head, "Waaah, I don't want to go out until my hair grows back."
Bai Jiyang quietly said, "+1".
Lin Feng followed closely behind: "+1".
Linzhou also chimed in with, "+1".
Gu Yanxu said smugly, "Hey, aren't you angry? I don't need to be. My hairstyle is still okay."
Bai Tang comforted them, "It's okay, they'll grow back soon. If it really doesn't work, just wear a hat when you go out. Everyone wears hats anyway."
After hearing this, the group excitedly asked Bai Tang for a cool hat.
Bai Tang took out a stack of stylish and warm hats and let them choose one themselves. Gu Yanxu was included, and Bai Tang also chose a hat for herself.
Everyone got their favorite hat, and Lin Fan put on the hat and went to admire himself in the mirror.
Gu Yanxu: "It has to be my wife's hairdressing skills."
Bai Tang flattered back, "It's because my husband is handsome."
A few people nearby said, "Ugh, the stench of love."
Gu Yanxu: "If you're not convinced, then you should find someone to show off your love too."
The group silently turned away without replying.
...
Of course, at the same time, the planting of snow fruit and some cold-resistant crops in the base has been greatly increased.
Snow fruit grows quickly and is easy to store. The main crops developed by the base are cold-resistant sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are also essential foods in daily life.
Bai Tang and his group went to the base supermarket to buy improved sweet potatoes and potatoes, and tried them.
The sweet potatoes weren't as sweet as before, but they were very chewy and filling. The potatoes were also quite starchy. Both of them were good for making you feel full.
Bai Tang and the others didn't really like the taste of the improved sweet potato.
However, they buy a certain amount of improved sweet potatoes and potatoes from the base's supermarket every week.
Every week, they have a big meal of sweet potatoes and potatoes on their table.
Buying sweet potatoes and potatoes at the base supermarket was for unforeseen circumstances, and also to help Lin Fan and the others get used to normal life in the apocalypse.
...
Time flew by, and the people in the base had become accustomed to the frigid weather.
That day, Gu Yu came to Bai Tang's house, sat on the sofa, and said mysteriously to Bai Tang:
"Sister, let me tell you, our base's new weapons have passed the experimental phase and have begun to be used by the military."
I secretly asked my dad last night, and he said the base's idea is to issue a limited number of new weapons to capable individuals who are on the base's side.
Bai Tang was shocked by this good news. She didn't expect the base to be so open-minded as to distribute new weapons to some capable people.
Generally, the military controls the weapons at bases and does not easily allow others to possess them.
Bai Tang: "Then how can our team qualify for information weapons?"
Gu Yu: "Your squad isn't qualified to get the new weapons? Which squad is qualified?"
Just look at those few mutated wild boars you hunted outside the base; that's enough for the base to grant you that qualification.
Besides, I'm your guarantor. If I'm not qualified, my dad will be your guarantor too. Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done perfectly for you.
But shouldn't you at least offer something in return?
"Understood." Bai Tang silently went to the kitchen, took a large bag of chili peppers, and handed it to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu's eyes seemed to be gleaming as she looked at the chili pepper. "Hiss~ You understand me best~"
Bai Tang chuckled. She had thought about giving him other things, but Gu Yu wasn't interested in any of them; he only liked chili peppers.
Bai Tang could only give her chili peppers, and sometimes she would ask Gu Yu to bring some tea home to her father.
Gu Yu said, "It's almost noon, let's have lunch before we go. I'll come find you later and hitch a ride with you."
Bai Tang said with a smile, "Okay, we'll wait for you at home after lunch."
When it was lunchtime, Bai Tang did not invite Gu Yu to stay for lunch, because Gu Yu said that her husband, Mr. Tang, was waiting for her to come home for lunch.
So Gu Yu took a bag of chili peppers and a box of tea and happily went home.
The two of them are always there for you; you reap what you sow.
Bai Tang went to the kitchen and saw that Gu Yanxu was already making lunch.
I leaned over and smelled the scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the pot.
"My husband Gu is so charming. His cooking is so delicious. I can eat two bowls of rice for lunch today."
Gu Yanxu: "Not only are there scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but look, there's also sweet and sour pork ribs being made in another pot."
Bai Tang: "Hehe~ Honey, any dish you make is delicious."
The two chatted and laughed in the kitchen, and soon the food was ready. They called Lin Fan and the others to come and serve the food.
During the meal, Bai Tang explained the new weapon to them in detail.
Bai Tang: "What I mean is, it would be best if everyone had a new type of weapon, so we would feel safe."
If we can't each get one, then we'll try to buy a few more. We've got plenty of points to contribute; we're rich and powerful.
Gu Yanxu placed a piece of sweet and sour pork rib on Bai Tang's plate before speaking:
"We actually have quite a few weapons. New weapons are just icing on the cake for us. If we can't get them, we won't force it."
Bai Tang: "We should be eligible to get a spot to buy it, don't panic."
Lin Zhou: "I'm still quite curious about what the new weapon looks like."
Bai Jiyang: "What's the rush? We'll know once we get our hands on it."
Bai Tang glanced at her younger brother and said, "You're making it sound like we're going to rob someone. We're good people."
What do you mean by "getting it"? We'll buy it legitimately and openly, you understand?
Bai Jiyang: "I know, sis~ I got it."
Lin Fan teased Bai Jiyang: "I didn't expect our young master Bai to be afraid of older sisters."
Bai Jiyang: "No, I didn't. Don't try to sow discord between us. We're like siblings with a deep bond."
Bai Tang wanted to laugh when she heard this, but she held it in.
It is said that Bai Jiyang was raised by his older sister. When Bai Tang told him to go east, he dared not go west.
Over time, Bai Jiyang listened to Bai Tang the most at home.
Of course, Bai Tang didn't just control him; the two of them also played around happily together.
Bai Tang chimed in, "Yes, yes, we have a deep sibling bond."
After the group finished eating, Bai Tang sprayed air freshener in the living room as usual.
After spraying air freshener, they each went back to their own rooms to find something to do.
After the air freshener in the living room had mostly dissipated, the group sat down on the sofa and chatted.
They were waiting for Gu Yu to come and find them so they could obtain the qualification to acquire the base's new weapons.
"Knock knock knock." Just then, someone knocked on their front door.
