To my frozen hometown

Chapter 96 When winter comes, but spring is still far away

In the morning, Greenhouse No. [-] in the middle seemed a little deserted. In front of the darkened greenhouse gate, a group of mercenaries were arranging their salutes.

Unlike ordinary mercenaries, they seem to be exceptionally well equipped.

Whether it's standard winter clothing, rifles and pistols with scopes, or a spacious and comfortable snowmobile with constant temperature, these equipment that ordinary mercenaries can't have at all seem to indicate that they come from a regular and huge company. Mercenary Corps.

In fact, it is true, judging from their armbands, these people are obviously from the same place.

Although this sign only appeared on the ice field in recent years, no one can deny its popularity today.

It belongs to the largest mercenary regiment on the Central Ice Field. Most people like to call them the Artillery Central.

Well, this is a team of mercenaries from the Central Mercenary Corps.

At this time, they should be carrying out a delivery mission.

This can be seen from the fact that they are shipping materials in boxes.

"Is it really okay for us to do private work like this?" In the team, a rather young woman asked her companion while carrying a box in her hand.

There are six people in this team, four men and two women.

The woman who asked the question seemed to be the youngest one, and the one who responded was a middle-aged man in the line.

"You are new here, so I don't understand. Our Central Mercenary Corps has a large number of people, so most of the time, tasks are not directly assigned by the regiment. In contrast, subordinate members are free to undertake commissions in the name of the Central Corps. The regiment is responsible for providing equipment and resources. As for the remuneration, the regiment charges [-]% and we charge [-]%. So for us peripheral teams, staying in the regiment's resident is not enough to support ourselves, and we perform tasks outside. That's the norm."

"It doesn't matter whether we accept private work or not. As long as we are not greedy for rewards, everything else is allowed by the Corps." The man who answered the conversation was a man who looked a little younger, and he was sitting in the carriage at this time. While calibrating the rifle, he was biting a piece of jerky in his mouth.

"This, this way." The woman who asked the question first nodded and continued to lift things up.

She is not good at talking, and everyone in the team knows that.

"Okay, Xiaona, please rest for a while. Ed, stop fiddling with your rifle. I didn't see how accurate you were when the wild beasts attacked. Come here and move things!"

The middle-aged man seemed to be very dignified in the team. If nothing else happened, he should be the captain of the team.

"Yes..." The young man in the carriage curled his mouth helplessly, put away his rifle and walked out of the carriage.

The sunlight in the sky was still a little dim. According to the plan, the team would set off before the sun fully rose, and then deliver supplies to an astronomical observatory in the ice field.

This is undoubtedly an easier task, compared to hunting wild animals and the like.

However, going to the ice field in such cold weather is obviously still an extremely dangerous thing.

No one can feel at ease, they just hope that this time there is no additional danger.

······

In the warehouse of the observation station, there are quite a lot of materials, which is beyond Liuyuan's expectation.

Although the number has been used almost, the variety is still quite complete, including some rare gadgets that are not seen at all on weekdays.

It may be because the old man does have a certain right to speak in Greenhouse No. [-], so even now that he lives alone outside, the resources regularly provided to him in the Greenhouse are still well-prepared and comprehensive.

After finding what he needed, Liu Yuan went for a few laps in the depths of the ice field, and brought back a few Lu Ying eggs.

At the beginning, the old man and Al were a little worried about her going out, but as time went by, the two got used to it.

Probably on the sixth day, Liuyuan prepared all the materials, and finally served a piece of hot cake on the dining table.

Under the curious eyes of the old man and Al, she took a bite first.To be honest, Liu Yuan quite likes to eat sweets, but unfortunately on the ice field, such conditions are not available most of the time.

It's not that the old man has never seen this kind of fluffy food baked with flour and other ingredients, but due to environmental factors, most of what he eats is dry bread that is relatively easy to preserve.

He has never eaten food like the one made by Liu Yuan, which is quite perishable at first glance.

Not to mention Al, who doesn't even know what dry bread is.

But after trying a sip, the old man and Al both succeeded in falling in love with this fluffy and sweet taste.

At least when Liu Yuan was about to enjoy the second piece, they had already settled all the leftovers on the plate.

"It's still the same sentence, Yuan, you always have unexpected talents." Perhaps because he was a little full, the old man leaned on his seat and said while stroking his stomach.

"Let's do this tomorrow." Al was already thinking about tomorrow's lunch.

"The remaining ingredients are only enough to make one or two more meals, and it's impossible to eat them every day." Liuyuan casually reached out and knocked on Al's head, and said slowly.

There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was recalling some past events.

Perhaps this is the case when people are old, they will always sigh inadvertently, and then sigh.

Lament your past, sigh the past bit by bit.

In Liuyuan's heart, there was a girl who once also liked eating cakes.

She treats the girl as her own, but unfortunately she also understands that she can't stay by her side forever.

Because in this world, there are always some choices that are helpless but inevitable.

Liu Yuan is a person who cannot die, so she can't stay in one place all the time, otherwise she will be regarded as a monster.

She belongs to this ice field, as if her life has been frozen.It won't grow old, it won't die, it won't hurt, it won't be cold, but it can only walk in the ice and snow until the day it melts.

Just like most people's impression of her, Liu Yuan is a wanderer, she can't stay, she can only keep walking.

So going back to her hometown and then stopping is so important to her.

Liu Yuan was already very tired, she was so tired after this too long winter.

　The examination has been done, and after a final consideration, I still plan to have the operation in Ningbo.Because the situation is similar, Ningbo is still a little closer to home.But it should be that I didn’t ask clearly last time. Even if I had to do this surgery, I couldn’t do it directly. I had to wait until the bones had fully grown. That’s why the hospital said that the surgery would not be performed until three months later.The good news is that I can resume normal updates tomorrow, the bad news is that this matter is still haunting me and I still can't end it, wry smile.

　　Okay, let's stop here for the gossip, see you tomorrow, bye. (Finally, according to the requirements of the event, send out a few more egg chapters, laugh and cry.)
