No matter whether they are selfish or greedy for freedom, they don't want to shoulder such a big responsibility on their shoulders.

The two of them just want to live the lives they want and occasionally provide some help to the base without exposing themselves.

What help they give and how much help they give all depends on their mood.

And you can come and go freely. You can live in the base as long as you want. When you get tired of living there, you can leave when you want to leave.

But once bound to the farm, they would be burdened with the entire base's rations. To be honest, neither of them was that aware.

"If there was anyone else I could find, I wouldn't give you such conditions."

"You should know what privatizing the farm will mean. If I had a choice, I would not be able to let the farm that is the lifeblood of the entire base out of my control."

"I don't ask you to think about the entire base. Just treat me as a friend and do Professor Li and me a favor."

Gu Yuanping could see that these two people really didn't want it and were not pretending to refuse.

If it were anyone else, such a huge benefit would be thrown away, and they would be extremely happy, but these two people are not tempted at all.

As he spoke, Gu Yuanping stood up from his seat and made a 90-degree salute to Han Ying and Lu Yuan with his fists raised.

"Deputy base commander, what are you doing?"

Lu Yuan pulled Gu Yuanping up, with a displeased look on his face.

"Are you doing this to force us?"

Seeing Gu Yuanping like this, Han Ying was also a little unhappy.

She hates those who kidnap people morally. Could it be that Gu Yuanping wants to kidnap her and Lu Yuan morally?

"I don't mean that. If you can think of any other conditions, just make them. I will definitely agree to what I can agree to."

Just two days after Professor Li fell, the entire farm was already in chaos. Either the harvested grain was not yet mature, or the mature grain was not harvested in time.

Professor Li said that no one is more suitable to manage this farm than Lu Yuan. As long as he can take over the farm, he will agree to any conditions.

"We don't have any conditions to mention. Deputy base director, please pay more attention to this matter. There must be a more suitable candidate than the two of us. We want to see Professor Li now. Isn't that convenient?"

Lu Yuan let go of Gu Yuanping, not wanting to continue the topic of the farm with him.

But Professor Li still had to go and have a look.

People who were obviously fine a few days ago...

To be honest, until now, Han Ying and Lu Yuan still don't quite believe that Professor Li is really as serious as Gu Yuanping said.

"It's nothing inconvenient, I'll take you there."

Gu Yuanping knew that now was not the time to continue talking about these things. If he talked too much, it was obvious that the two of them were going to be angry.

It's a bit like when he wanted to award meritorious deeds to this dog named Tangyuan.

Then Han Ying, Lu Yuan and their dog walked behind Gu Yuanping. The three of them and one dog braved the severe cold and the attack of the wind blade and walked towards another nearby building.

Only 7 floors of the building remained, so it was converted into a medical station.

Gu Yuanping led the two of them to a ward at the back of the fifth floor.

It's said to be a ward, but actually it doesn't have the usual hospital beds.

Professor Li was lying on the kang with his eyes closed, and the oxygen mask covered most of his face.

In this extremely cold weather, it is actually a bit difficult to breathe oxygen. It seems that the medical station must have spent a lot of effort to allow patients to breathe oxygen smoothly.

There was an old woman in her early 60s standing by the kang.

Seeing three people coming outside, the old woman got off the edge of the kang directly.

She naturally knew Gu Yuanping, who was walking at the front, but she did not recognize the two young men and women following him.

When he saw the big dog following behind, his pupils shrank, and he soon realized who the two young men were.

Her husband often mentioned these two people and the dog at home, so she had heard their names and deeds many times.

"How is Lao Li? Did he wake up after I left in the afternoon?"

As soon as he entered the ward, Gu Yuanping walked directly to the kang and asked.

"Yes, I woke up once, just for a few minutes."

As the old woman spoke, she secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"These two are Han Ying and Lu Yuan. They are friends of Lao Li. Come and see him."

Gu Yuanping pointed to Han Ying and Lu Yuan who were standing next to him.

"Good boy, you have your heart."

The old woman said hello to Han Ying and Lu Yuan, but she was not very warm because her old Li was still lying on the hospital bed.

She really wasn't in the mood to chat with others.

So after saying that, she sat on the edge of the kang again, holding her husband's skinny palms tightly with both hands, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down again.

Fortunately, I was beside the kang, otherwise the tears would have been frozen long ago.

But even if it wasn't frozen, this face was frozen to the point of being deformed because of the constant tears flowing through it.

Looking at Professor Li who was lying on the kang with a pale face, Han Ying and Lu Yuan also looked worried.

It had only been a few days since I last saw Professor Li, and he looked like he had lost weight several times.

Two thick quilts covered Professor Li's body, but his thinness could still be seen from the exposed face.

Han Ying and Lu Yuan didn't know how to describe their feelings at this moment.

The end of the world is so difficult, but many people still have to concentrate on fighting the illnesses that existed before the end of the world.

Seeing Professor Li's wife turning her back to them and wiping tears again, Han Ying and Lu Yuan didn't know how to comfort her.

The two of them were not the kind of people to comfort people.

Han Ying walked to Professor Li's wife, patted her back gently and tried to comfort her: "Auntie, don't be too sad, otherwise Professor Li will feel distressed."

"If he was distressed, he wouldn't have stayed asleep like this."

As she spoke, she buried her entire face in the quilt covering Professor Li, sobbing softly.

Not sure if she heard the voice, but Han Ying saw that Professor Li's eyelashes seemed to move.

Gu Yuanping on the side also saw it, and his face suddenly showed joy, "Old Li is about to wake up."

Although Gu Yuanping knew that Professor Li only woke up for a few minutes each time, it was still better than him falling asleep all the time.

Sure enough, Professor Li's eyes slowly opened after a few seconds.

It seemed that just the act of opening his eyes took a lot of energy from him. Professor Li's face looked even paler.

Professor Li struggled to raise his still movable hand and moved it towards his face.

Gu Yuanping realized that he probably wanted to take off the oxygen mask on his face, so he reached out to help him take it off.

The doctor had said before that if he woke up and wanted to talk, there was no need to stop him.

"Are you...what?"

Professor Li struggled to squeeze out a few unpronounceable words from his mouth.

But Han Ying and Lu Yuan still understood.
