I'm here again. Yesterday, I felt nauseous and dizzy. Most of the time, I slept soundly (but I didn't vomit or have diarrhea). I feel much better now, but I can't mention dumplings. I feel nauseous. It seems like I won't be able to celebrate Chinese New Year. The main story has just begun. Don't wait any longer. Go to sleep. "
Lin Sanjiu's "for now" did not waver Chen Jinfeng's enthusiasm. He clapped his hands and said passionately, "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. None of them were perfunctory. Everyone clapped with all their might. Very soon, the thunderous applause attracted more people over. More clapping sounds rang out.
"Welcome, new members!"
Lin Sanjiu was at a loss when faced with such an enthusiastic crowd. She turned to look at Luther and Marcie. She noticed that the two fair-skinned fellows were so embarrassed that their ears had turned red. Luther noticed her gaze and whispered shyly, "They are so enthusiastic … 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 citizens, the most important thing for the new members now is to familiarize themselves with the environment. The sun is out. 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 Li ordered with a smile on her 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 the oasis had figured out the rules: 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 then told them, "The factory's dormitory building is too hot during the day. So, we turned the two basement floors into partitions and moved the beds from the dormitory building into them … Now, follow me. Let's allocate the beds."
"Where should we park the car?" Needless to say, the person who asked this 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, and each building had two floors underground. Now, they had been converted into living quarters for the members of the oasis. Every building was covered with a large reflective cloth that glowed under the dangerous sun. After walking for a while, the three of them found it hard to keep their eyes open.
Sister Li narrowed her eyes and looked at everyone. Then, she smiled sheepishly, "We're almost there. Do you see the building with the number 42? All the other buildings are full. That's the only vacant spot. "
"Since no one lives in that building, why did they cover 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 our rooms … "Sister Li suddenly sighed," If we were in the past and heard 50 ° C, we would have been scared to death! It's all thanks to Professor Bai's medicine that everyone is more resistant to heat. "
"What?" When the three of them heard this, they turned to look at Sister Li.
"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, "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.
Once they entered the building, they immediately felt the temperature drop. Even the pores on their skin, which had been scorched by the high temperature, could breathe again. Even though they could feel that the temperature was higher than 50 ° C, it wasn't far from it. Compared to the temperature outside, which could kill people, the progress of Professor Bai's heat insulation experiment was already quite impressive.
Lin Sanjiu was the last one to enter. Just as she retracted her leg, Xiao Yu pushed the door closed behind her. Seeing Lin Sanjiu's surprised gaze, Xiao Yu quickly smiled and 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 know what the people in Oasis would talk about in private when no one was around. When Xiao Yu turned around, Lin Sanjiu silently and quickly placed the walkie-talkie behind the door gap. Then, she 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 and pressed it.
Sister Li's voice came through the buzzing sound of the electric current.
"Even though Cadre Chen appeared this time … I was the one who discovered it first … I even brought them around …" After all, the walkie-talkie wasn't a tapping device. Moreover, there was a door between them, so the quality of the voice wasn't 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, these three people are mine, 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, they should be yours … But Cadre Chen still has to do this … Why don't you ask …"
"Ask him … He's a Cadre …" Sister Li seemed to be complaining, but she was a little wary. She smiled at Xiao Yu, "Don't mention it to others. You know that I … "
Xiao Yu nodded in agreement.
"Quick, put it away," Luther, who had been looking 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 dormitory. Lin Sanjiu's heart skipped a beat as she looked at the walkie-talkie that Marcie had hidden. However, it was too late for her to retrieve it because Xiao Yu had already called out to them with a smile, "Everyone, follow me. Let's take a look at your dormitory from now on. We have put in a lot of effort to make it as comfortable as possible!"
Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to find another opportunity to retrieve it. Lin Sanjiu deliberately walked at the back of the group. There was another flash of white light in her hand, and a card flew above the walkie-talkie. It turned into a black cloth and covered the walkie-talkie.
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 vibe. However, after chatting with her for a while, Lin Sanjiu could sense the slickness that she had developed as a result of being out in society too early. However, that slickness was hidden in her smile, so it wasn't annoying. Xiao Yu led the group down to basement one. She smiled sheepishly, "It's cooler downstairs, so it's already full. Just 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 discerned.
The spacious basement one was divided into small single rooms by countless white boards. There was a rectangular opening on the board in front of each single room to act as a door. Colorful curtains were hung over the openings.
The crowded rooms divided the space into several large blocks, and the corridor was cut into a narrow corridor. Even though there were lights in the basement, there was no electricity, so the narrow and crowded corridor seemed even darker. Some of the rooms were already snoring softly. Mixed with the smell of the crowd, the space was filled with a strange, drowsy atmosphere.
"Come, Miss Lin, you can stay here." After walking for about seven to eight minutes, Xiao Yu pulled the curtain of a single room open. Lin Sanjiu looked up and saw the number 1629 written on the door of her single room.
Lin Sanjiu took a look inside.
The metal bed frame wasn't big, and it was covered with a thin mattress. 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 be considered a slum. However, for Lin Sanjiu, who had slept on a hard floor for a month, it was already very good.
Luther and Marcie's rooms were arranged very far away. One was in room 1734, and the other was in room 1736. Lin Sanjiu had to walk through more than a hundred rooms to get there. Xiao Yu said that it was because there were more and more people in the oasis, so the rooms were tight. "If Professor Bai's heat insulation experiment is completed earlier, we can all move into the building. When that time comes, I will 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 agreed. After giving a few instructions, she left with Luther and Marcie. The moment they left, Lin Sanjiu immediately turned around and returned to the hall on the first floor.
She opened the door and looked around nervously. Just like before, there was no one around. Xiao Yu agreed. After giving a few instructions, she left with Luther and Marcie. The moment they left, Lin Sanjiu immediately turned around and returned to the hall on the first floor.
She opened the door 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.
Lin Sanjiu was shocked. She 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?"
