Chapter 84 Omens
Bai Jiyang, Lin Fan, and the other two quickly told Bai Tang what they wanted to eat, and Bai Tang took them out of her spatial storage one by one.
Of course, Bai Tang didn't forget the cauliflower and pork stir-fry that Mr. Gu ordered, so she got herself a plate of boiled pork slices.
Bai Tang also belongs to the group of people who can't live without spicy food.
So their family uses air freshener the most now, because they need to get rid of the smell of food so that when someone comes over, they don't have to smell any unpleasant odors.
Bai Tang and the others quickly finished their lunch, and the next step was to spray air freshener.
Because air freshener was sprayed in the living room, everyone stayed in their own rooms, and the living room windows were open to let the smell dissipate.
Fortunately, their heating is free; otherwise, it would be a huge expense.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu were in the bedroom, and Gu Yanxu said...
"Let's go to the service center and see if there are any outings, and also find out what the base thinks about yesterday's collective insomnia."
Bai Tang: "Okay, let's go now. We're just idling at home anyway."
The two left without saying goodbye to Lin Fan and the others.
The four of them only realized that Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu were about to leave when they heard the car.
Lin Fan walked out and shouted, "Boss, take me with you!"
Gu Yanxu leaned out of the passenger seat and said, "Close the door and stay home. We'll be back in a bit."
Then the car drove out the gate, leaving Bai Jiyang and the other three behind.
Lin Fan could only reluctantly go and close the door.
When they returned to the house, they found that Bai Tang hadn't brought any canned food either. "Little canned food, we're in the same boat."
Lin Feng realized, "The boss and his wife must be enjoying some alone time."
Linzhou: "Possibly."
Bai Jiyang: "Sigh, there are four of us single dogs and one single cat."
Lin Fan: "Who cares? So what if I'm single? It's great. Come on, brothers, let's go to my place and play a couple of rounds of cards."
While Lin Fan and his friends went to play cards, Bai Tang drove slowly along the road.
It wasn't that Bai Tang didn't want to drive fast; it was just that it had snowed a few days ago, and the vehicles at the base were temporarily restricted from speeding, so she simply drove slowly.
There weren't many cars on the road, and they quickly arrived at the service center and parked in the parking lot next to it.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu walked into the service center hall, where there were still quite a few people.
Bai Tang and the other person stood next to the mission panel, listening to the people around them talking.
Someone asked, "Brother Zhang, did you sleep last night? I had insomnia all night and couldn't sleep at all."
The man called Brother Zhang replied, "Liu Zi, you're not asleep either? I thought I was the only one having insomnia. What kind of situation is this?"
Liu Zi: "Yeah, I've heard that a lot of people had trouble sleeping last night. It's really worrying."
Brother Zhang whispered, "On my way to the service center, a friend told me that this is due to changes in the magnetic field of Earth, and it won't have a big impact."
But I have a feeling it's not that simple; something is definitely going to happen.
Liu Zi: "Sigh, who knows? Let's see what God has in store."
Bai Tang and the other person listened for a while, but didn't hear anything useful.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard someone call out to her, "Captain Bai!"
Recognizing the familiar voice, Bai Tang turned around and saw that it was Zhao Lei calling her.
Zhao Lei walked over: "What a coincidence, Captain Bai, are you here to receive a mission?"
Bai Tang replied, "No, we just came out to take a look. Our team had insomnia yesterday, so we weren't planning on taking on any missions."
Zhao Lei: "Yeah, our team is the same, and I heard that a lot of people at the base are having trouble sleeping."
Then Zhao Lei whispered again:
"I overheard something from Director Chen today; this insomnia is probably a sign, but I don't know what the sign is."
Bai Tang thought to herself, "It might be a sign of extreme heat."
But she didn't say it aloud. Instead, she said, "No matter what happens, I believe our base can handle it calmly and steadily."
Zhao Lei was deeply moved by Bai Tang's words: "Yes! That's right, we must trust the base."
All actions taken at the Shengshi base are for the benefit of the local residents.
As the saying goes: If you keep the people in your heart, the people will cherish you. What you take from the people, you should use for the people.
Bai Tang, Gu Yanxu, and Zhao Lei talked for a while before parting ways.
It seems we won't get any useful information at the service center.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu drove home.
On the way home, Bai Tang said to Gu Yanxu, "Is the change in the magnetic field a sign that an extreme heat wave is coming? But the timing is wrong; the extreme heat wave is at least another year away."
Gu Yanxu comforted her, "Tangtang, don't overthink it. No matter how hot it is or how early you have to come, you have a space full of supplies, so there's nothing to panic about."
Bai Tang: "Yeah, I just feel that the extreme heat might come earlier than expected. A woman's intuition is usually very accurate."
Gu Yanxu: "It's okay if it's ahead of time. No matter what happens next, I will always be by your side."
The two talked for a while and soon returned home.
Hearing the door open, Guantou ran out of the house to greet Baitang.
It rubbed its big head against Bai Tang's leg. Bai Tang stroked its fur and took the canned food into the house.
"Sister-in-law, you're back so soon? Weren't you enjoying some alone time together?" Lin Fan asked Bai Tang, standing at the doorway of his room.
Gu Yanxu walked in: "Who told you that we went out for some alone time? We went to the service center to gather information."
Lin Feng asked, "Boss, what have you found out?"
Gu Yanxu said, "We've learned that this change in the magnetic field might be a sign that extreme heat is coming."
You guys better be prepared for temperatures to go from an ice cave to a sea of fire.
Bai Jiyang asked in shock, "Ah! Really? I hate the heat the most. I can wear clothes when I'm cold, but I can't go shirtless when I'm hot."
Linzhou agreed: "I'm also afraid of the heat but not the cold, so it's going to be tough."
Bai Tang: "What a coincidence, I don't like the heat either. It's okay, we probably won't be at the Shengshi base by then."
Lin Zhou asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, are we going to the Beijing base instead of the Shengshi base?"
"That's right. Once it gets warmer, the ice on the road should melt. When it's safe to drive, we'll pack up and head to the Beijing base."
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu knew that the temperature would be extremely high in the first few days of the extreme heat, enough to melt even the thickest ice.
Although I don't know if this extreme heat will follow the same pattern as in my previous life.
However, they still needed to inform Bai Jiyang and the others in advance, so that they could at least be mentally prepared.
But there's no use in being anxious now. Bai Tang is just waiting for someone from the base to come and tell them to pick up the new weapons.
During the days of waiting, Bai Tang and his group left the base several times to go to places that no one had ever been before.
To make it easier for Bai Tang to collect clean snow and store it in the space for later use.
Because, given the characteristics of the snow fruit, it definitely cannot survive in extremely hot conditions.
Therefore, we should always plan ahead.
