I'm almost done. My appetite is like a pregnant woman. What should I do? "
Lin Sanjiu's "for now" did not waver Chen Jinfeng's enthusiasm. He clapped his hands and said excitedly, "That's right! Believe me, everyone in Oasis will become a part of history in the future. They will leave an indelible good name. "
When the few people who had been watching from the entrance of the factory saw them from afar, they knew that they had joined in. They couldn't help cheering and rushed to Lin Sanjiu and the others. One by one, they clapped their hands. No one was perfunctory. Everyone was clapping with all their might. Soon, the thunderous applause attracted more people over, and more people clapped their hands together.
"Welcome, new members!"
Lin Sanjiu didn't know what to do in the face of such a passionate crowd. She turned to look at Luther and Marcie and realized that the two fair-skinned guys were so embarrassed that even their ears were red. Luther noticed her gaze and said shyly, "They are so passionate … I have never been welcomed like this in my life."
Lin Sanjiu burst into laughter. She felt the same way.
Chen Jinfeng made a few hand gestures to calm the crowd down before he finally stopped the noise from the crowd.
"My fellow countrymen, the most important thing for the new members now is to familiarize themselves with the environment. The sun is out, so let's go back to bed first. We will welcome the new members at night! "
His words sparked another round of applause.
"Little Yu, go to the canteen and inform them that we have three new members. Remember to give them extra food tonight! " Sister Lee instructed with a beaming face. Immediately, a girl with a short ponytail responded and ran back to the factory. After Chen Jinfeng persuaded the rest of the people, they nodded and smiled at Lin Sanjiu and the others before dispersing.
It seemed that the people in Oasis had figured out the rules of the day. Under the sun, no matter what they did, they would have to risk their lives. The best way was to hide and sleep.
Sister Lee continued, "The factory's dormitory building is too hot during the day, so we turned the two basement floors into partitions. We moved the beds from the dormitory building into those partitions … Follow me now. We will allocate the beds."
"Where should we park the car?" Needless to say, the person who asked the question was Lin Sanjiu, who was not afraid of offending anyone.
"Drive it in! There's an empty space inside that's perfect for parking. "This time, Sister Li didn't seem to be unhappy and smiled warmly.
The three of them nodded and went back to the car. They started the car and drove into the factory area. They parked the car at a corner.
It was only when Lin Sanjiu walked in that she realized how big the oasis was. The walls of four or five neighboring factories had been demolished, creating a vast area. There were a total of ten buildings in the oasis, each with two floors underground. Now, they had been converted into living quarters for the members of the oasis. Each building was covered with a large area of reflective cloth, which glowed white under the dangerous sun. After walking for a while, they found it hard to keep their eyes open.
Sister Li narrowed her eyes and glanced at everyone. Then, she smiled sheepishly. "We'll be there soon. Do you see the building numbered 42? All the other buildings are full. That's the only place that's still vacant. "
"Since no one lives in the building, why would they put up the reflective cloth?" Lin Sanjiu asked, puzzled.
"Professor Bai is doing a heat insulation experiment. He hopes to lower the indoor temperature to below 50 ° C. When the temperature drops, we can all stay in the building. We can even do soilless cultivation in the rooms … "Sister Li suddenly sighed," In the past, I would have been scared to death when I heard 50 ° C! Thanks to the medicine developed by Professor Bai, everyone is more resistant to heat now. "
"What?" When the three of them heard that, they turned to look at Sister Li at the same time.
"Medicine? What is she talking about? "
Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment. Just when she was about to ask, Sister Li had already led them to Building 42. The girl with the short ponytail called Xiao Yu was standing at the door. She waved at them enthusiastically and smiled, "Sister Li! I have already arranged the beds. I also brought some pillows and sheets from the warehouse and changed them. Sister Li, do you want to come and take a look? "
"No, I trust you," Sister Li replied. Then, she turned to the three of them and smiled, "You guys will follow Xiao Yu from now on. She is in charge of the living arrangements in this building. You guys go in first. I want to have a word with Xiao Yu. "
The three of them nodded and smiled. They felt like they had entered a boarding school. They pushed open the door and entered the building.
As soon as they entered the building, they immediately felt that the temperature had dropped significantly. The pores on their skin, which were so hot that they fainted from the high temperature, could now breathe again. Even though they could feel that the temperature was more than 50 ° C, it was not far from it. Compared to the temperature outside, which could kill people, the progress of Professor Bai's heat insulation experiment was quite amazing.
Lin Sanjiu was the last one to enter. Just as she retracted her leg, Xiao Yu pushed the door shut behind her. Xiao Yu smiled when she saw Lin Sanjiu's surprised gaze. She gestured for them to wait inside. Lin Sanjiu nodded and turned to leave. Suddenly, she thought of something and stopped. A white light flashed in her hands, which were hidden behind her back, and a walkie-talkie appeared.
It was left behind by the vole.
Lin Sanjiu didn't know why, but she really wanted to hear what the people in Oasis would say in private when outsiders were not around. When Xiao Yu turned around, Lin Sanjiu silently placed the walkie-talkie behind the door gap and quickly walked into the hall on the first floor. Probably because everyone had gone to bed, there was no one in the hall. Only Luther and Marcie had seen what Lin Sanjiu did.
After all, they had been through a few life-and-death situations together. Even though they were a little surprised, they didn't say anything and quickly adjusted their expressions. Lin Sanjiu took the walkie-talkie from Marcie's waist, turned around, and pressed it.
Sister Li's voice came through the buzzing sound of the electric current.
"Even though Cadre Chen also appeared this time … I was the one who discovered it first … I even brought them around …" After all, the walkie-talkie was not a bug. Moreover, there was a door between them, so the quality of the voice was not very good. The three of them were so close to the walkie-talkie that their ears were almost glued to it. Finally, a clear voice came out, "Anyway, the three of them should be mine this time, right?"
The three of them were stunned. They looked at each other and leaned closer to the walkie-talkie again.
Xiao Yu sounded like she was talking about Tai Chi, "Logically speaking, it should be yours … But Cadre Chen still has to do this … Why don't you ask …"
"Ask him … He is a cadre …" Sister Li seemed to be complaining. Then, she smiled at Xiao Yu warily, "Don't mention it to anyone else. You know that I … "
Xiao Yu nodded in agreement.
"Quick, put it away," Luther, who had been peeking outside the door, suddenly urged, "They seem to be done."
Lin Sanjiu quickly turned off the walkie-talkie. Marcie took it and hung it on her waist. The three of them quickly distanced themselves from each other. Coincidentally, Xiao Yu had already bid farewell to Sister Li and entered the room. Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat as she looked in the direction where Marcie hid the walkie-talkie. However, it was too late for her to take it because Xiao Yu had already called out to them with a smile, "Everyone, follow me. We have spent a lot of effort to make your dormitory rooms as comfortable as possible!"
Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to find another opportunity to take it. Lin Sanjiu deliberately dragged her steps and walked at the back of the group. A white light flashed in her hand again. A card flew above the walkie-talkie and turned into a black cloth.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu did not notice any of this. Xiao Yu was a girl with a round face and a short stature. When Lin Sanjiu first met her, she gave off a warm and straightforward feeling. However, after chatting with her for a while, Lin Sanjiu could feel that she had developed a slickness that came from being out in society too early. However, that slickness was hidden in her smile and was not annoying. Xiao Yu led the group down to basement one. She smiled sheepishly and said, "It is cooler downstairs, so it is already full. You guys can make do with it and stay in basement one! "
As she said that, she pushed open the metal door to basement one.
The original purpose of basement two could no longer be seen.
The vast basement level was divided into small single rooms by countless white building materials. In front of every single room, there was a rectangular gap that served as a door. Colorful curtains of various colors were hung over the gap.
The crowded rooms divided the space into several large blocks, and the corridor was cut into a narrow path. Even though there were lights in the basement, there was no electricity. Hence, the narrow corridor was even darker. Some of the rooms were already snoring. The smell of the crowd was mixed in, and the space was filled with a strange and sleepy atmosphere.
"Come, Miss Lin, you can stay here." After walking for seven to eight minutes, Xiao Yu pulled the curtain of a room. Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw the number 1629 written on the door of her room.
Lin Sanjiu looked into the room.
The metal bed wasn't big and there was only a thin mattress on it. The pillow was flat and there was a folded bed sheet that was probably used as a quilt. If this was before the advent of the new world, it would have been a slum. However, for Lin Sanjiu, who had slept on a hard floor for a month, it was not bad.
Luther and Marcie's rooms were arranged very far away. One was in room 1734 and the other was in room 1736. They had to walk through more than a hundred rooms to get to their rooms. Xiaoyu said that it was because of the increasing number of people in the oasis, and the lack of space — "If Professor Bai's heat insulation experiment is completed sooner, we can all move into the building, and I'll definitely put the three of you together." She said with a smile.
"You guys go ahead first. I will settle down first," Lin Sanjiu quickly said to Xiao Yu. This was a great opportunity for her to get her walkie-talkie back.
Xiao Yu nodded and left with Luther and Marcie after giving them a few instructions. As soon as they left, Lin Sanjiu immediately turned around and returned to the hall on the first floor.
She pushed the door open and looked around nervously. Just like before, there was no one around.
She quickly rushed to the door, but to her surprise, there was nothing behind the door. There was no walkie-talkie at all.
She was shocked and couldn't help but whisper, "Huh?" Her eyes darted back and forth. At this moment, a hand suddenly touched her shoulder from behind.
"What are you looking for?"
