Chapter 349: Chapter 347: I Want to Talk to You Alone Chapter 349: Chapter 347: I Want to Talk to You Alone “Jiang Yan, I apologize for my previous arrogance and rudeness,” Mo Shiyao murmured, clenching the pink thermos cup in her hand and awkwardly raising one hand.

A smile curved Jiang Yan’s lips as she removed her gloves and grasped Mo Shiyao’s hand, “Isn’t there an old saying, ‘No discord, no concord’?”

She knew that Mo Shiyao was just prideful and had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Otherwise, there was no need for her to step in and help at the base’s shopping center entrance when Qin Lei was picking a quarrel.

“Indeed, ‘No discord, no concord,'” Mo Shiyao inhaled deeply, her eyes now more open and shining with a light.

Jiang Yan glanced at her hand, “You should wear gloves later. To survive in this apocalypse, we must protect our hands.”

She had Lin Xiaohui bring Mo Shiyao a pair of fleece-lined leather gloves before, which she did not wear.

Now those hands were ice-cold and swollen.

The handshake lasted merely a second, akin to holding a chunk of ice.

“Alright,” Mo Shiyao nodded, pausing for a second before speaking up, “Jiang Yan, do you have any spare weapons on you?”

“Hmm. Let me check.” Jiang Yan removed her backpack and rummaged through it, pulling out a handgun with a full magazine, “Keep this for self-defense.”

“Do you have any melee weapons?” As soon as Mo Shiyao asked, Jiang Yan had already handed her a Tang sword made from the base’s metal materials, “Here.”

In this icy wilderness, firearms like handguns should only be used as a last resort for survival.

After all, for them, bullets were finite, each use depleting their precious stockpile.

In contrast, melee weapons, especially those made from the base’s metal materials, were not only sturdy and durable but could also slice through iron as if it were mud.

“Thank you,” Mo Shiyao took it graciously.

Mo Shiyao didn’t dwell on why Jiang Yan was able to produce such a weapon from a backpack smaller than the length of the sword, nor did she ask any further questions.

For Jiang Yan, she was pleased to see Mo Shiyao bounce back, which was a good sign for the whole team as well.

Half an hour later.

Song Haitao and Jiang Ye, supported or carried by Song Qian and the others, made their way to the outside room.

Having stayed in the cryogenic pods for too long, coupled with the extremely low temperatures outside, their limbs were all stiff.

According to Lin Xiaohui, they would need time to slowly adjust and recover.

Zhao Yougong and Kong Wu hurriedly split more large pieces of furniture to burn, along with the discovered Smokeless Coal, stoking the fire higher.

The already somewhat crowded room became jam-packed in an instant, but the temperature inside was somewhat warmer than before.

Seeing Jiang Yan and Mo Shiyao, Song Haitao and Jiang Ye were both shocked and delighted.

And upon seeing the endless white snow outside and learning that the entire AS area had been ejected from Yaoben Base onto the snowfield, their shock deepened even more.

“Did you guys really not parachute out and still managed to survive?”

“It shouldn’t be! According to the acceleration of gravity, this metal house should have likely smashed a trench in the glacier…”

“The wind outside is strong, could it have been a downwind landing?”

“Even if it were downwind, the lift wouldn’t possibly offset the gravity…”

“…”

A bunch of people, all scientists of various fields except for Jiang Ye, began to discuss fervently.

Song Haitao didn’t join the discussion. He slowly moved to look outside and furrowed his brow slightly:
“Everyone, now is not the time to talk about this.”

There was a sudden silence.

“Dr. Song, how did you end up in that room?” Jiang Yan asked directly once he seemed to regain his composure.

Song Haitao furrowed his brow and glanced around the scene before addressing Jiang Yan:
“Jiang Yan, I’d like to have a word with you alone…”
