Chapter 387: Chapter 385 Reunion

“Hua Bao, is there any movement outside?” Jiang Yan washed off the blood and filth from her body, threw her dirty clothes into several washing machines to wash, and then filled the massage bathtub with hot water. She also added a medicine bath bag mixed with red flower and Pu’er tea, which is effective for relaxing the meridians. Only then did she leisurely lie down.

It’s been a long time since she last had a medicinal bath.

“Mommy, not yet, but it seems like the amount of snow in the black blizzard has increased,” Hua Bao, always diligently on duty, replied to her.

Jiang Yan: “…”

The black blizzard came sweeping in again, far beyond her expectation.

However, the increase in the snowstorm was not bad news for her.

Such a natural disaster would not only prevent her from going out, but also prevent others from doing so.

Like a natural barrier, with Hua Bao standing guard outside, all she needed to do was rest securely in the Space.

Before she could think further, she fell asleep slowly under the warm caress of the water massage.

The bathtub had an automatic heating and heat preservation function, and when she woke up again, it was already an hour later.

Fully relaxed from the bath and the healing effects of the Space, Jiang Yan felt strength coursing through her body once more.

After drying her hair and changing into clean home clothes, Jiang Yan realized that she was already starving.

She felt like she could eat an entire cow right now.

Having seen too many bloody corpses, Jiang Yan felt a bit averse to eating meat.

She simply took out a yin-yang pot, added water, put half a packet of spicy hot pot seasoning on one side, and cut open a green coconut, placing the cool coconut juice and tender coconut meat into the other side.

While the water was heating up, she retrieved a bunch of hot pot ingredients from the Inventory Area.

Fresh bamboo mushrooms, truffles, morels, gong vegetables, pea shoots, snow pea tips, baby bok choy, seaweed knots, potatoes, lotus root slices, frozen tofu…

The baby bok choy and snow pea tips, both products of the black soil in the Space, were still fresh as if they had just been picked.

The table was soon laden to the brim.

Jiang Yan took out a pad, clicked on a variety show, and leisurely began to cook her hot pot.

The plot of this episode of the variety show was set in several famous scenic spots in Anming.

Blue skies, white clouds, and beautiful flowers, with the streets clean and tidy.

Crowds of excited and happy people eagerly awaiting the arrival of celebrities at the entrance of the scenic area, each face beaming with joy, making the atmosphere exceptionally lively.

As Jiang Yan watched, an inexplicable sense of loneliness and desolation suddenly overwhelmed her.

Such scenes, she would probably never encounter again in this lifetime.

Since the apocalypse, she felt her heart had become much harder.

But she knew that somewhere deep inside, there was still a hint of softness and warmth as well as a longing and desire for the end of the apocalypse…

After eating, Jiang Yan walked out of the Apple Cabin.

Looking at everything in the Space, and then gazing at the progress bar above the stream for the upgrade, she suddenly had a premonition that the Space’s upgrade would bring her some surprises.

Just what these surprises would be, she didn’t know yet.

It was already five o’clock in the morning, yet she felt no trace of sleepiness.

She took a walk around the vegetable garden and orchard.

Jiang Yan then returned to the study.

She took out the “National treasure map” specifically given to her by Mo Jingsheng and glanced through it briefly.

Only then did she realize that besides the sea rocket launch platform mentioned by Song Haitao, there were other national treasures at the Musen Base that she needed to bring into the Space.

If going by the previous relationship between Yaoben Base and Musen Base, it would just be a matter of waiting for the extreme cold weather to pass and stopping by on a visit to collect them.

But now, things had obviously changed.

Furthermore, from Zhang Xiaoxiao’s words, it was clear that she was already on the radar of the high-level individuals of that base.

So even if the passageway wasn’t destroyed in the explosion, there was no need for her to take this risk now.

After much consideration, Jiang Yan still felt it was best to return to the AS area first and find Song Haitao and the others before anything else.

However, with the meteorite fall and the black blizzard, who knows what their situation is now.

Crowing of a rooster came from outside the Apple Cabin.

Jiang Yan knew it was getting light outside.

The blizzard outside turned fiercer, and Jiang Yan simply couldn’t be bothered to go out anymore. She went into the room and fell asleep right away.

She slept for twelve hours straight.

When she woke up again, a whole day had passed.

Jiang Yan wrapped herself in a Padding jacket and took a bunch of gold bars out of the Space, handing them to Hua Bao before re-entering the Space.

After harvesting all the vegetables and fruits in the farm, she took out a small automatic farming machine and studied it for a while.

She operated the machine to till the soil and then took out some seeds to start planting anew.

Jiang Yan felt she really needed a helper.

At the very least, someone to help with the agricultural planting and harvesting.

However, within the Space there were progress bars, the Spiritual Spring, and the Black Tai Sui, which all could not be revealed to outsiders.

Perhaps, looking for an opportunity to train Hua Bao might be more appropriate.

After all, with its twelve vines, its efficiency was definitely much higher than ordinary people.

Most importantly, it was highly confidential, safe.

A week passed by swiftly.

The black blizzard finally stopped, replaced by white snowflakes the size of rice grains.

The sky grew brighter and visibility improved significantly.

During this time, Jiang Yan, who had been watching and waiting, ended up with nothing.

She guessed it was because of the black blizzard.

Of course, the collapsed passage would also need time to be cleared and reopened.

She didn’t leave immediately but stayed in the same spot for another week.

Half a month later, Jiang Yan, who had gotten nothing but had finished her repairs, left the Space fully armed.

The temperature outside seemed to have risen a bit, only about minus fifty or sixty degrees.

The wind was still strong, chilling to the bone.

Jiang Yan increasingly felt that what the scientists had said was true, that the extreme cold weather would end after a few months.

Under Hua Bao’s lead, she took out a snowmobile and quickly rode toward the direction where they had landed in AS area.

The cracks caused by the meteorite fall and explosion had now been filled and compacted by layers of snow.

Even so, Hua Bao remained vigilant at all times.

As she rode halfway back, a strange mound made of meteorites appeared in the distance.

The rocks looked as if they had been split by some kind of sharp weapon, stacked in a regular pattern, clearly man-made.

Jiang Yan was slightly startled, and using a large nearby meteorite for cover, she rode over and immediately stored the snowmobile back into the Space with a thought.

“Mommy, I’ll go have a look,” Hua Bao said, volunteering as it eyed the house.

The distance between Jiang Yan and that pile of meteorites was only about fifty to sixty meters.

The Hua Bao Vine could easily reach that far.

“Alright,” Jiang Yan nodded and took out a telescope from the Space.

Hua Bao quickly scurried over, and soon, it exclaimed with excitement, “Mommy! It’s Ye Qing!”

Jiang Yan was taken aback, but she quickly realized:

That’s right, those meteorites contained a super-rich iron content; apart from Ye Qing or the Evolved People, it would be quite difficult for anyone to gather so many stones together.

“However, he seems to be injured…” Hua Bao then added.
