Chapter 131
The house renovation was very simple, it was not difficult to set up the planters in the hallway along with electricity and plumbing . In contrast, it was time consuming to plant the seedlings . The good news was they were not in a hurry, even if the military canteen needs leafy greens there was no anxiety . As for other teams trying to buy vegetables…they had not found a suitable buyer, no need to hurry .
It seemed someone from the cafeteria had blabbed? The third morning, Luo Xun went to the canteen for delivery they were stopped halfway, of course after the crops were sold .
The other side was very polite, not the same team but the same purpose . Luo Xun and Yan Fei were not polite, they chatted and left their contact details before continuing on .
Thankfully they were no the fortress barracks . Those who could enter had some relation with the military and did not dare mess around .
The pair concluded their sale of non-mutant vegetables to their military . The person was not Captain Li but there were many people in the canteen, selling information was normal . This time when they sold vegetables one soldier secretly pa.s.sed a note with information from another team .
It would take 20 days until the next harvest of the vegetables planted at home, they would need to set some aside for the barracks . The most stable buyers was definitely the military canteen . Other places to earn extra money with long-term cooperation…little to none hope at the moment .
The weather was getting colder and colder by the day, the north wind blew through the night . All the heating equipment on the two floors was in use . The rooms in 1604 were not warm but he had transformed the heating, naturally it would improve once it was turned on .
On base, the prices of wood, coal, alcohol, gas and other fuels soared . Even the military exchange windows began to slowly increase their prices .
During the autumn harvest, the Otaku squad dried the rice stalks . Although these things were not the best fuel, starting a fire for cooking was not a problem . Luo Xun and company took advantage of the chance to find coal, wood and so on before the weather really turned cold . Since they usually used more electricity to cook, getting through winter would have no problems .
“Up until now, we’ve been contacted by…seven teams . ” Luo Xun held a stack of notes in his hand, all of whom were interested in buying food from the team .
It was clear that all the members were entrusting the matter to Luo Xun – after all, who had been responsible for the matter before? Other people messing around might cause trouble for the team instead .
Yan Fei was listening and thought it would be better for Luo Xun to make the choice . After all he might be able to have everyone get a profit from growing vegetables, but he did not know how long the teams would last . Luo Xun knew and understood more than anyone else .
“These two families have the highest bids . ” Luo Xun picked out two notes, “I have not heard of them before but I heard that they had changed leaders recently . Although we have heard of them, I am afraid neither of these teams will work for the long term…” He sighed and looked at some others, “These prices are too low and look at their att.i.tude…sending a younger brother to talk, no upsides so we’ll pa.s.s . And finally these ones…”
Luo Xun finally found two that might develop long-term relations . He turned to discuss with Yan Fei, “What do you think? Who should we pick?”
Yan Fei picked up the notes and looked at the names before smiling at Luo Xun . “Contact both, even if they want food it might not be too much . We sell at most half and the rest goes to the barracks . ”
“Right! Sounds good!” Luo Xun breathed a sigh of relief . The batch of leafy greens in the hallway would mature in two days .
They could roughly estimate the weight even before harvesting . If one team did not buy all, they would pa.s.s the rest along so they always had customers .
They dialled the phone to contact each other . Sure enough after Luo Xun reported the amount of food, one team said it was enough while the other wanted more if possible .
The vegetables to be sold to the team were planted in the hallway . As for the crops planted in the other rooms, part of it was for daily consumption and part was to be sold to the barracks meal hall .
The vegetables sold to the canteen were 4 nuclei per pound . If they exceed 10 pounds, the price grew to 6 nuclei . Also sold to the two teams, each pound was 10 nuclei…of course this was the price of vegetables during winter . In better weather, the estimated price would be reduced by half .
The next morning, the team got up early to harvest, pack and load all the vegetables before returning to the rooms to eat and change .
When the group exited the iron gate on the 15th floor, they could not help but s.h.i.+ver – outside was very cold .
“The weather is cloudy, it looks like it’s going to snow . ” They looked out at the gray sky and s.h.i.+vered thinking about work .
“Normally autumn rain…no it should be winter by now right?”
“Yes, winter started last Monday . ”
Wu Xin turned to stare wide-eyed at Han Li’s words . “You have the time to look at the calendar?!”
Han Li rolled his eyes, “Please, I just looked at the date on my phone . ” He could not help but look .
Luo Xun drove to the designated location to handover the produce and then went to the barracks . When the two got out of the car, Luo Xun took out the two bags covered in cloth – in fact the days should not be cold enough to wear these coats, who made today’s weather so bad?
“Everything here? Hurry up, it looks like it’s going to rain today . ” Captain Guo saw the pair coming and looked up at the sky before ushering everyone onto the bus .
“Captain, what happens if it snows? Stop work?” A soldier breathed out mist .
“The higher ups did not say stop, we’ll have to keep busy . Fortunately, the bridge is almost done and after that we can work on the outer walls . ” Captain Guo shrugged his shoulders, they were braving the wind and rain for construction instead of training .
If these things had not been made by ability users, who could know what would be done as the temperatures plummeted .
They drove to the destination and continued yesterday’s work – every time they refined the metal, the wall would shrink and new metal needed to be added . At first, the team thought it would not be too much trouble – but it was actually like rebuilding the wall! Not easy at all!
Not long after they started working…rain and snow began to fall from the sky .
The reason it was ‘rain and snow’ was because it fell quickly like droplets but they were solid, hitting people with popping sounds .
After a while the reaction turned into – “What kind of rain/snow if this?! They look like grains of rice!”
Luo Xun grabbed an umbrella in one hand with the other was holding the transparent s.h.i.+eld . This was just right, waterproof and snow-proof . As long as there was not a strong wind, it was fine to protect two people .
Captain Guo also quickly called for people to grab the umbrellas from the car . Not a moment later, there was a row of open umbrellas on the wall .
In the afternoon, the ice grains became larger, it soon became falling snow .
Standing on the base bridge while looking at the base – a vast expanse of white . It was not long until everything in sight was covered in white .

After insistence to finish the last bit of bridge work, the team returned to the car and drove back to the barracks .
When he returned home, Xu Mei had raised the heating to a level that the vegetables inside were not affected by the cold . The couple became warm due to climbing more than 10 flights of stairs .
“Don’t rus.h.!.+” Luo Xun was. .h.i.t head-on by Puppy . He was wearing several layers and nearly fell on his back after being pounced, fortunately Yan Fei was behind him .
Luo Xun muttered while patting the enthusiastic dog’s head . “She’s grown more and stronger than before . ”
Xu Mei smiled and let the two into the house . “We raised the temperature a bit in all the rooms . Change your clothes and check the temperature . ”
“All right, let’s go up first . ” Luo Xun grabbed his dog, the couple and pet went upstairs .
Xu Mei and Song Lingling had enough greenhouse experience to adjust the thermometer and plumbing . There was no strong wind, so the vents had no problems .
After checking the rooms, Luo Xun said there was no problem . He remembered the morning vegetables sales and brought out today’s’ earnings .
This was bonus revenue, a small portion was set aside for team funds and the rest were evenly distributed . They waited until Li Tie and the others to return before handing it out .
The snow was falling heavier and heavier and it was darker earlier . Luo Xun was preparing to make duck stew to heat up before his mobile phone suddenly rang .
“It’s Li Tie’s number . ” Luo Xun put down his cup of hot tea and answered, “Li TIe?”
“Brother Luo . ” Li Ti’e voice was not too clear, it seemed like there were a lot of other voices . “The snow tonight is too big, we are worried about w.a.n.g Duo and Zhang Yi out alone so we are going together to the hospital . ”
“All right . ” Luo Xun looked at Yan Fei and the others, “We were planning on everyone sharing some stew, I guess you can eat when you get back . ”
“All right! We’ll be back soon and send you a text when we get Zhang Yi!”
Although everyone has learned how to cook, but Luo Xun and the ladies had the most delicious food . If the students wanted good food, they would wait until everyone ate together .
Li Tie’s voice was very loud, Xu Mei laughed, “Then we will prepare first . ”
“Let’s do it together . ” Luo Xun got up and walked into the kitchen . Yan Fei got up and took a piece of duck from the fridge .
Duck meat, radish, potatoes, spices, dried eggplant, beans, pumpkin, mushrooms and rice…The pot was cooked on the stove then placed into an insulated container for the microwave . The aroma was in the air as Li Tie and the others came home .
“Just in time, we just put the cabbage in . ” Luo Xun pointed at the pot in the middle of the table . “Go and change your clothes first, then come back to eat . ”
“Okay . ”
“Okay . ”
“Change? Let’s eat first!”
“We thought we were going to freeze to death! The roads are unusable now!”
“The snow is deep?” Luo Xun looked at the window . Since they were upstairs, they could not tell how much snow was outside .
“Pretty deep! It reached out thighs!” Li Tie said while sitting down .
He Qiankun sniffed and grabbed some fish with his chopsticks, “Positive we have to wear rain boots to work tomorrow . ”
Luo Xun shook his head, “Wear tight boots and stuff the pant leg inside . If you wear rain boots with snow outside…you might get frostbite from the cold . ”
Zhang Yi’s chopsticks flashed while everyone was talking about the snow outside – who would ignore the food?
Everyone at the table noticed after the third time and so they jumped into action . Spoons and chopsticks moved between the stew and bowls of food .
After the meal, there were no traces of food in the pot . Song Lingling grinned, “Gee, the pot bottoms are spotless, this will save a lot of dishwas.h.i.+ng time . ”
The team was spread out patting their stomachs, no one wanted to move .
Only Yu Xinran was holding a bowl of strawberries, blinking while sharing with Puppy .
The strawberry plants had matured recently, a good chance to add vitamins to everyone’s winter diet . Compared to other food, both Yu Xinran and the dog preferred the sweet fruit .
Even this group of adults would have cravings – usually they ate fruit before, but today…they would have it after the meal .
“Still have to…get…tomorrow’s meal ready . ” He Qiankun was currently full and even then he thought about tomorrow’s lunch .
“There are still ingredients, we’ll set up a pot for you . ” Xu Mei smiled at Li Tie, who expressed his grat.i.tude .
In fact, Luo Xun and Yan Fei had the worst lunch, that ‘wonderful’ rice with the metal team…The taste did not need to be explained .
The next morning, Luo Xun opened the curtains, “There’s frost flowers on the gla.s.s!” Due to the difference between the temperature inside and outside . How did he survive winter in his last life?
Luo Xun seriously thought back, recalled he had no winter coat, stuffed paper in his clothes to resist the cold weather . Fortunately, he was not willing to set a fire, otherwise the whole bas.e.m.e.nt would have burned with a stray spark .
“The snow looks deep . ” Yan Fei looked at the roof next door and frowned, “Look over there, more than half of that building is covered . ”
“Yeah, it’s as half as high as a man . ” Luo Xun grimaced . “During previous winters, he tried to stay at home, wait for some of the snow to melt, other people to clear some up before leaving . He could not measure the exact height but it could definitely reach the point where the door was blocked – even scarier it would happen every year!

He could not measure the exact height but it could definitely reach the point where the door was blocked – even scarier it would happen every year!
“Wait, do we still have work today?” Luo Xun stood and looked at Yan Fei .
Yan Fei also raised an eyebrow…that was a problem .
“Luo Xun, will there be a problem with so much snow on the roof?” Li Tie came and asked when the couple went downstairs .
The lovers exchanged looks, Yan Fei said, “I will use the metal mesh on the roof to deal with it . ”
The whole roof had been covered with metal for protection . Did not expect that the metal mesh could also be used for snow removal . The metal on the solar panels hanging on the walls could also be manipulated to remove the snow .
The roof seemed to vibrate, the surrounding buildings had an additional week’s worth of snow .
Li Tie and the others also contacted their bosses about working during the bad weather .
The heavy snow was so sudden and no one was prepared . Even the military had a pause in operations .
It was not until 7:30 that they received news – the five students did not have to work . Zhang Yi, Yan Fei and Luo Xun would continue with their work .
Zhang Yi worked at a hospital, there were quite a few frozen people with frostbite, there was no time to rest . And the wall…the base higher ups said that important work could not be delayed .
However, the two people could drive and could only slowly make their way over .
Along with Zhang Yi, the three had to move through waist-deep snow towards their destination .
There were also potholes – when they arrived, Captain Guo was told that the car could not start so they had to go on foot to the wall .
“Captain, can we use the highway?” One metal user raised their hand and inquired .
“Right! That’s what I said!” Captain Guo’s face was filled with resentment . “To the bridge!”
Today’s situation was someone trying to pressure his team, something to do with tensions among the higher ups . Someone wanted to pull the metal team, otherwise they would not be forced to come out on a snowy day . This was a result of compromise between the leaders – but could they afford to lose people to the cold?!
Walking on the bridge that was not finished, it was interesting . Because the metal wa lightweight and the earth users had only started a section, there was a sense of thrill .
Luckily, their team had metal users . When they got on the bridge, the ability users shook off the snow without worrying about the stability . Although the metal was a little slippery, there was no problem as long as they were slowly making their way through the center .
“The earth users don’t have work today?” Yan Fei whispered to Captain Guo, not seeing any other people at the bridge .
The house renovation was very simple, it was not difficult to set up the planters in the hallway along with electricity and plumbing . In contrast, it was time consuming to plant the seedlings . The good news was they were not in a hurry, even if the military canteen needs leafy greens there was no anxiety .
