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! "
The few people who had been watching from the entrance of the factory cheered when they saw Chen Jinfeng from afar. They rushed to Lin Sanjiu and the others and started clapping their hands. None of them were perfunctory. Everyone clapped with all their might. Soon, the thunderous applause attracted more people, and 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 people were so embarrassed that their ears were red. Luther noticed her gaze and said softly, "They are too enthusiastic … I have never been welcomed like this in my life."
Lin Sanjiu chuckled. She felt the same way.
Chen Jinfeng made a few hand gestures to calm the crowd down. Only then did he finally stop 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! "
Lin Sanjiu didn't know which sentence triggered the crowd, but there was another round of cheers and screams.
"Little Yu, go to the canteen and inform them that we have three new members. Remember to have extra food for dinner! " 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 they dispersed.
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 thing to do was to sleep.
Sister Li 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 … Come with 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 about 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 pills developed by Professor Bai, everyone is more resistant to heat. "
"Huh?" When the three of them heard that, they turned to look at Sister Li.
"Pills? 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, why don't you come and take a look? "
"No, I don't 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 pushed the door open 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 the temperature was definitely higher than 50 ° C, it seemed that Professor Bai's heat insulation experiment was progressing well.
Lin Sanjiu was the last one to enter. Just as she retracted her leg, Xiao Yu pushed the door open. Xiao Yu smiled at Lin Sanjiu when she saw Lin Sanjiu's surprised gaze. She gestured for them to wait inside. Lin Sanjiu smiled back at Xiao Yu. A white light flashed from the hands that were hidden behind her back, and a walkie-talkie appeared.
When Xiao Yu turned around, Lin Sanjiu silently placed the walkie-talkie in an inconspicuous place behind the door. Then, she quickly walked into the living room on the first floor. Perhaps because everyone had gone to bed, there was no one in the living room. Only Luther and Marcie saw 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 to be natural. Lin Sanjiu took the walkie-talkie from Marcie's waist, turned around, and pressed the button.
Sister Li's voice came through the buzzing sound of the electric current.
"Although 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, so the quality of the voice was not good. The three of them were so close to the walkie-talkie that their ears were almost glued to it. "In any case, the three of them should be 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, "Sister Li, logically speaking, it should be yours. I agree. However, Cadre Chen has the final say on this matter. Why don't you go and ask him? "
"Ask him … Hmph. Sigh, really. As a cadre, he always snatches credit from his subordinates … "Sister Li grumbled. Then, she smiled at Xiao Yu warily," This is only between the two of us. Don't mention it to anyone else. After all, it's not a good influence. Our oasis is a very sunny place. "
Xiao Yu nodded her head in agreement.
"Quick, put it away!" Luther, who had been standing guard outside the door, suddenly urged, "They seem to be done talking!"
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. She looked in the direction where Marcie had hidden the walkie-talkie. However, it was too late for her to retrieve it. Xiao Yu had already called out cheerfully, "Everyone, follow me. Let's take a look at your dormitory! We have spent 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 dragged her feet and walked at the back of the group. There was another flash of white light in her hand. 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 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 and was not annoying. Xiao Yu led the group down to basement one. She smiled sheepishly and said, "It's cooler downstairs, so it's already full. You guys can make do with it and stay in basement one! "
As she spoke, 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 sections. The corridor was also cut into a narrow corridor. Although there were lights in the basement, there was no electricity. The narrow corridor seemed even darker. Soft snoring could be heard coming from some of the rooms. 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 arrival of the New World, it would be a slum. However, for Lin Sanjiu, who had slept on the hard floor for a month, it was pretty 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 of the increasing number of people in the oasis. "If Professor Bai's heat insulation experiment is completed earlier, we can all move into the building. By then, I will definitely put the three of you together," Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"You guys go ahead first. I will walk around here and familiarize myself with the environment," 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. The moment 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.
"Eh …" Lin Sanjiu was shocked and couldn't help letting out a cry. Her eyes darted back and forth.
Suddenly, a hand rested on her shoulder from behind.
"What are you looking for?"

Thank you for the tip from "This Nickname Doesn't Exist, Right?". It was obvious that he was the kid who was almost driven crazy by Dian Niang when he registered his book … The tip meant that the book was recognized.
