Chapter 1755 - 956: Oil Well Repair Completed, Sealed! (3)

"Oh, in that case, they should be packing their things or lining up. I estimate they’ll all come over in the afternoon."

Li Yu nodded and walked out of the duty room.

In Weng City, in front of the computer desk, Li Yuan was comparing photos and physical characteristics of everyone entering the city.

Beside Li Yuan, Qingyang stood with arms crossed, holding a sword with his right hand to guard the side.

It seemed that he was specifically protecting Li Yuan.

Li Yu saw this scene and inexplicably wanted to laugh.

At the same time, he also felt quite reassured. Screening so many cooperative personnel posed certain risks, but with Qingyang there, protection was ensured, and nothing should go wrong.

Recently, the two of them had progressed rapidly.

It started with stolen glances, and later it was openly acknowledged. Basically, everyone in the inner and outer city knew they were a pair.

.....

Inside the greenhouse.

Having ridden over by motorcycle yesterday, Dai Jiusheng laid out his tent and, seeing his son crawl out from inside, patted his head and said, "Awake? Why didn’t you continue sleeping?"

"Hmm, Dad, it was noisy just outside. Did something happen?"

Dai Jiusheng smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, the City Lord Director Li of Big Camphor Tree Base came."

"Wow, Dad, why didn’t you wake me up?"

"You seemed to be sleeping so soundly."

Dai Jiusheng murmured, knowing almost none of the people around him, being a new cooperative personnel amidst many old cooperative personnel.

Watching the people coming and going and the tightly sealed greenhouse, feeling the wind blowing from the ventilation openings above to keep the air circulating in the greenhouse.

Above, there were also light-emitting lamps, and nearby, there were heating pipes and other equipment.

These made Dai Jiusheng a bit surprised, and Youyou sighed:

It’s just a greenhouse meant for growing plants, yet it’s far better than their casual accommodations outside.

Though there’s dirt on the ground, for people like them who’ve survived in this post-apocalyptic world for two or three years, cleanliness isn’t the goal; they seek safety and suitable temperatures.

....

Outside the wall.

Zhong Chuchu looked at the big bags of luggage in front of her and said to the crowd:

"That’s about it. I heard the space inside is limited, and it’ll be crowded, so don’t bring things you won’t use."

"Sister Chuchu, Noble Consort and Old Huang will probably come here too, right? Then we can stay in the same greenhouse, haha." Shen Xiaoxiao said excitedly.

Zhong Chuchu shook her head and said, "I heard from Bai Wenyang, probably not together."

"Ah? Why not? Aren’t they all in the greenhouse?"

"Noble Consort’s group was promoted to extra staff recently, and extra staff live in a separate greenhouse, apart from us cooperative personnel."

"Oh, I see." Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly lowered her head, seemingly a bit upset.

"But we’ll definitely meet again. As long as we come out of the greenhouse, we’ll see each other."

Upon hearing Zhong Chuchu’s words, Shen Xiaoxiao’s mood instantly turned from gloomy to cheerful.

"That’s great."

....

At noon, Li Yu received a message from his uncle in the duty room.

The oil wells in Oil City had been repaired, and they requested to temporarily halt oil production, sealing the wells until after the storm passed.

After receiving this message, Li Yu approved Ju Tianrui’s suggestion.

As time passed, people from the Third and Fourth Satellite City also entered the Big Camphor Tree Base.

The fish from the Mountain Pond in the base migrated to the reservoir at the foot of the mountain.

Zhou Weiguo also completed Li Yu’s instructions in advance, even exceeding expectations, storing enough hay to feed the animals for five months.

Everything was gradually being completed, with the wind blowing for a day, but no rain yet.

The air was stifling, the kind that makes it hard to breathe.

Dark clouds sporadically appeared in the sky, the low clouds giving a false impression of a low ceiling, making it feel even more stifling.

Yet, there was no rain.

But by this time, everyone inside and outside the base could feel that a heavy storm was imminent.
