Rebirth: The Doomsday Solitary Favorite Chapter 197
Chapter 197 Lullaby
The trip to the arsenal was finally on the agenda.
The arsenal is located in the Grand Canyon of Shennv Peak in the southwest. There is only one steep railway track leading to the destination in the canyon in the Taiyin Mountains that stretches for thousands of miles. After the earthquake, this road was completely destroyed. Therefore, Han Yi and his team planned to enter the Taiyin Mountains from Baiyun Peak, which was not affected by the earthquake.
This trip will definitely not be able to return in the short term. It will probably take seven or eight days just to hike over the mountains. If they are unfortunately lost or encounter bad weather, it will probably take even longer.
Han Jiaojiao was a little worried that they would be late and empty-handed. After all, it has been four months since the end of the world. It is possible that a base has already set its sights on the batch of munitions in the arsenal. However, now that Han Yi introduced the environment near the arsenal, she felt relieved.
That place is too remote and far away. The major bases really can't spare any manpower to go there for a while.
The most important one is the problem of transporting munitions. The railroad tracks are no longer passable. If we rely on manpower to move the munitions out of the canyon piece by piece, it will take at least a few hundred people, right? Then the question arises again, how many cars are needed for a few hundred people to travel? How much food and water will be consumed by so many people traveling back and forth for a month?
Maybe, we can collect food in nearby towns while moving forward?
It's unrealistic. After entering the Taiyin Mountains, there are endless mountains and rivers all around, and it is impossible to pass by any town. There is also gasoline for round trip, and these supplies are not easy to find.
However, she and her brother have space, so these are not a problem at all!
On the last night before departure, everyone gathered together and talked about some details after departure.
The candidates for departure were finally finalized: Han Yi, Han Jiaojiao, Yan Xiao, Xiao Jian, Yang Qi, Zhou Xiaoliang, Hao Boming, a total of seven people.
Lu Changyuan had to stay behind, so he didn't go.
Bai Kairui was also left behind. He was used to hanging out with Yan Xiao, so he felt a little uncomfortable being left behind. However, when he saw that a big shot like Lu Changyuan was also left behind, his unhappiness immediately disappeared.
In contrast to Bai Kairui, Yang Qi and Zhou Xiaoliang were overjoyed!
Being chosen by Brother Han showed that the boss trusted them! Especially since Zhou Xiaoliang had not yet awakened his superpowers, he was chosen. He was almost grinning from ear to ear.
As for Hao Baiming, although he did not protest, he emphasized from time to time during the meeting: "You must protect me!"
Han Jiaojiao found it funny to see him cherishing his life, and she leaned over to Han Yi and whispered, why didn't he bring Dr. Zhou with him.
Han Yi's answer made her dumbfounded, because this trip was very dangerous, and Zhou Yan had been with them longer than Hao Baiming. If Zhou Yan died outside, he was afraid that Han Jiaojiao would be sad.
Everyone else had some self-protection ability, but the doctor was the most fragile. Of course, it would be better if he didn't die. Lu Changyuan repeatedly told Yang Qi and Zhou Xiaoliang that the first task was to protect Hao Baiming.
When the discussion was almost over, Lu Changyuan took out a set of communication devices, handed it to Yan Xiao, and explained in detail how to use the communication devices.
It is said that this set of communication devices was exchanged for crystal cores at the Lingchuan Material Exchange. The price was very high, but the thing was not very easy to use. The method of use was very cumbersome and complicated, not as convenient as a satellite phone. Anyway, Han Jiaojiao was confused after listening for a long time. Finally, Lu Changyuan agreed with them to communicate every night from six to eight o'clock.
Setting a time period, rather than a specific time, is to avoid that they are dealing with emergencies at a certain time and have no time to communicate.
Everyone was talking about various accidents that might occur on the road. At this time, Hao Tian's intermittent crying came from outside the house.
Han Jiaojiao was slightly stunned and said, "It's Tiantian who woke up..."
It's already twelve o'clock in the night. It's probably because Haotian woke up in the middle of the night and didn't see her parents. She was afraid and cried alone.
Ye Jing is still busy with Yu Wanqian preparing their meals on the road. The more meat and vegetables, steamed buns and dumplings, the better. Lu Changyuan asked them to prepare them according to each person's share. In this way, Han Yi can put them in the space and take them out and eat them directly when he wants to eat on the road.
Ye Jing is busy now and definitely can't take care of coaxing the child. Han Jiaojiao stood up and prepared to go see Hao Tian. As soon as she stood up, she heard the voices of Tian Xinyue and Liu Ling outside——
"Tiantian, don't cry, don't cry..."
"Come, Aunt Xinyue will sing for you..."
These two people like children very much.
The crying outside the house stopped, and Han Jiaojiao felt relieved, as did the others in the house.
Yan Xiao smiled and said, "It feels different to have a few women in this team. As the saying goes, men and women work together and work is not tiring..."
Han Jiaojiao looked up at Lu Changyuan and asked, "Will you assign tasks to Xinyue and the others after we leave?"
"Yes." Lu Changyuan nodded, "It's the same as when we were in Beicheng Base. We will get used to each other first and then go on formal missions after we are familiar with each other. We will provide weapons, food and accommodation, and the mission rewards will be 40% to 60%."
Han Jiaojiao nodded.
This share ratio is already very generous. Beicheng Base is 30% to 70%. When people who go on a mission return to the base, they need to pay 30% of the harvest regardless of the size. However, Beicheng Base does not cover people's food and drink consumption, nor does it provide free weapons and ammunition.
As for the tax payment, Lingchuan Base seems to be interested in imitating it, but Beicheng Base's move has already caused public outrage, so the specific measures on Lingchuan have not yet been implemented.
Seeing that it was getting late and they had to leave early tomorrow morning, Han Yi and Lu Changyuan gave a few more instructions and asked everyone to go back to the house to rest.
When Han Jiaojiao followed Han Yi back to the house, she heard Tian Xinyue singing to Hao Tian in the next room. Her voice was very low and soft, without lyrics, just humming softly, the tune was soothing and moving, and it should be a lullaby or something like that.
This surprised Han Jiaojiao a little. She didn't expect that Tian Xinyue, who was usually noisy, would sing such a song to coax children.
Han Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and went to Han Yi to act coquettishly: "Brother, sing to coax me to sleep."
Han Yi knew that she was playing tricks again, and smiled and rubbed her hair, "You naughty girl, go wash up and go to bed."
Han Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue and laughed. She hurriedly washed up and changed into pajamas, thinking to herself that she must ask her brother to sing a song for her when she got to bed later...
But things didn't go as she wished. When she lay down on the bed, she listened to the faint humming outside the room, and immediately felt so sleepy that she couldn't tell which way was which. She didn't care about bothering Han Yi, and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
She never thought that she would sleep until noon.
Not only her, but everyone else was dumbfounded, because... everyone got up late!
On the first day of departure, there was an oolong incident. By the time they were ready, it was already afternoon. The time was no longer suitable for departure. Lu Changyuan and Han Yi discussed and decided to leave the next day...
Inexplicably, because of the bizarre collective late-rising incident, the departure date was postponed by one day.
