Chapter 185 Construction
So without the slightest hesitation, they all stepped on the gas and sped off.
There's nothing left but car exhaust fumes.
Because the base told them that no matter how important the glass was, no one was more important.
So they didn't feel bad about the glass that hadn't been moved.
Bai Tang no longer felt any heartache, because those pieces of glass were now sitting obediently in her space.
After their convoy of cars drove some distance, the people at the back of the convoy shone their flashlights behind them.
They saw a dense swarm of snakes approaching.
The snakes, in all their vibrant colors, were intertwined, with some crawling outwards.
I only glanced at it, and the people in the car behind immediately shouted into Walkie-Talkie:
" Captain Zhao, drive fast! The snakes behind us look like they're catching up."
Captain Zhao Lei's car was at the front of the convoy, and he heard that sentence in Walkie-Talkie.
He immediately told the driver to accelerate and keep going.
Fortunately, they had noted down their route before they arrived, so they didn't get lost in the dark.
Sitting in the car, Bai Tang said, "This is so exciting!"
I just don't know why those snakes gathered there.
Lin Fan said, "Who cares why they're gathered there?"
As long as we're alive, that's all that matters. I ran at breakneck speed.
Gu Yanxu also said, "Luckily we had Mu Mu, otherwise we might have really been stuck here."
It was pitch black, and we couldn't see what was going on inside at all.
" If Mu Mu hadn't discovered the snake nest inside, our team would have been the first to be in trouble."
Bai Tang then added, "I think they must have moved quite a lot of glass."
"The base will probably be sold to the public, otherwise how will ordinary people survive if it really rains acid?"
Lin Fan said, "I saw it; they almost filled that heavy truck to the brim."
I just don't know if running away will cause them to break the windows.
Bai Tang said casually, "No problem, I've taken all the remaining glass from the warehouse."
Even if they come back here in the future, they probably won't find any glass.
Besides, there are snakes here, so I guess they probably won't come back.
I won't keep the glass here; I'll put it on the back seat of the car in a little while.
We should buy from the base openly and honestly. Our base is large, so we can just produce some glass ourselves at most.
Anyway, no outsider knows exactly how much we bought.
Bai Tang was still thinking that their family's two courtyards were very large.
If the entire structure were built with glass canopies, it would require a significant amount of glass and materials.
But they're not in the mood to think about those issues right now.
They were busy dodging the snakes. Bai Tangshone his flashlight behind them, and the number of snakes following them decreased.
However, their car did not slow down.
Everyone was shocked by what they had just witnessed, and they all felt that every minute they stayed outside was an increase in danger.
Everyone in the team is now thinking about getting back to base as soon as possible.
No one in the group was speaking in Walkie-talkie; everyone was silent.
Soon they spotted the Artificial Sun of the base in the distance.
By the time they saw it, the Artificial Sun was already setting.
It must be time to put it away each day. In order to save energy, they strictly control the rise and set times of the Artificial Sun.
When everyone saw the Artificial Sun at the base, they knew they were almost home.
Since the distance wasn't very far, they didn't linger on the way and drove straight back to the base.
Then Captain Zhao Lei and Wei Junyuan led the convoy to the base research center.
A heavy truck and so many SUVs came back from outside the base.
This still caught the attention of the people at the base, and they were all talking about it.
"Wow, that's a huge truck! I wonder what's inside it?"
"Hey, who cares what's inside? As long as it's good for all of us, the base will tell us."
Why think so much? Are you all just bored and have nothing better to do?
"Why are you talking like that? I was just curious, really."
Captain Zhao Lei, Bai Tang, and Wei Junyuandrove into the research center.
The staff on duty at the gate closed the gate, blocking the curious glances from outside.
Back at the base, everyone's tense mood immediately relaxed.
The three teams parked their cars inside the research center.
Bai Tang had already placed the removed windows on the back seat of the car while on the road.
They all got out of the car, looked at each other and smiled, feeling as if they had survived a disaster.
Soon, someone came out of the research center and grabbed Captain Zhao Lei's hand, saying:
"I didn't expect you to actually bring the things back."
Now there's hope for the base, and we'll all be alright.
Captain Zhao Lei said with a wry smile, "We almost didn't make it back."
The man asked, "What's going on? What happened to you?"
Captain Zhao Lei replied to him: "We encountered a swarm of snakes at the glass factory."
If it weren't for Captain Bai's team having someone with sharp hearing...
If we hear something unusual, we might not be able to get back.
The man was startled by this, and then said toBai Tang and the others:
"I've heard that Captain Bai and your team are very powerful."
Seeing it for myself today truly shows that seeing is believing.
Bai Tang told him, "You flatter us, you flatter us. We just have some team members who have very sensitive ears."
If Captain Zhao and the head of the guard hadn't acted quickly to organize our escape, we probably would have been caught by the swarm of snakes too.
After exchanging a few more polite words, a few more people came out from inside.
They carefully moved all the glass into the Research Institute.
At this moment, Captain Zhao Lei quietly asked the man a question:
"Brother, can you tell me what these pieces of glass are used for?"
That way we can prepare in advance and avoid being caught off guard.
The man whispered, "The base predicts that acid rain may occur after the polar night."
Those glass panes are used to build greenhouses for crops.
Don't tell anyone outside, I'm only telling you because you guys put in so much effort.
And your three teams brought back so much glass.
"When the glass is distributed, your three teams will definitely get a share."
Captain Zhao Lei and Wei Junyuan were both shocked to hear what the man said.
They nodded, and then they were all thinking to themselves how to get more glass later.
Because they all have elderly parents and young children to care for, and also have team members.
Therefore, they must give these matters careful consideration.
Bai Tang and Gu Yanxu just felt that the base seemed to know something in advance.
Even though they didn't leak any information, it's as if the base could predict it in advance.
The two looked at each other and immediately understood what the other was thinking.
However, the two did not say anything, and soon all the windows on their car were removed.
After Captain Zhao Lei and his two teams finished distributing their contribution points, everyone drove off and went their separate ways.
