Happiness System

"Mom, I'm about to go on a mission, and my return date is uncertain. I'll take out the winter supplies first, and you remember to organize them. Also, remember to keep a close eye on Dad and have him start building the kang as soon as possible. Also, let's arrange for people to keep watch at night, as I'm afraid the temperature will drop too quickly and you won't notice it. And as for my uncles, tell them to get ready quickly!"

Qin Yunxi pulled Zhuang Qiao down to the basement, put things away while explaining things to her, which made Zhuang Qiao very nervous.

Before leaving, she hugged Zhuang Qiao and said, "Don't be afraid, Mom. We are well prepared. Brother and Brother Yanbei will definitely come back immediately when they sense the temperature change. You don't need to go to the training camp these few days. Wait until the temperature stabilizes."

The military didn't leave her much time. If she hadn't met someone from the military who was looking for her on the way, she wouldn't even have had time to come back to say goodbye to her family and prepare supplies!

Although she had already placed some winter supplies at home, she always felt that it was not enough!

Zhuang Qiao's eyes were red, and she held back her tears and said, "Okay, I will take good care of your dad and your grandma. You also have to take good care of yourself outside. Mom will wait for you to come back home."

Fifteen and Sixteen now follow Qin Yunxi regularly, and they will train with her when she goes to the military for training.

They had just communicated with the people in the military, and when they saw Qin Yunxi get in the car, Shiwu immediately started the car and drove to the assembly point.

One advantage of following Qin Yunxi is that they don’t need to prepare luggage when going on a mission, they can set off as soon as the mission arrives!

The mission this time is to transport coal. After this extreme heat, the base has been prepared for a long-term battle against extreme cold.

It had been prepared before and then other people would be arranged to transport it back. Qin Yunxi and their team's goal was to go to the coal mining province to find coal and transport it back.

Of course they also brought some supplies.

On the surface, they are the central base and cannot go to other bases to compete for resources. In fact, everyone is also a competitor. It would be best if Qin Yunxi and his team could find the source of the minerals and collect them directly. If that is not possible, they can just exchange them for supplies openly.

Because the temperature had dropped during this trip, they took turns to rest and traveled day and night, but in fact they did not travel very fast.

One reason is that the roads were severely damaged, and the other is that the zombies were upgraded too quickly, so they needed to spend a lot of time fighting monsters.

Qin Yunxi made rapid progress in practicing and fighting monsters, and she wielded a Tang sword with great power.

On the fifth day after their departure, snowflakes finally began to fall from the sky, and their progress became even slower.

On the tenth day after departure, the temperature had stabilized at around minus 20 degrees Celsius.

Another week passed, the temperature slowly dropped again, and a snowstorm trapped Qin Yunxi and his friends more than a hundred kilometers away from their destination.

During the three days of waiting, they encountered two groups of mutant animals.

Fortunately, the mutant animals have not yet fully adapted to the extreme cold weather, and they have thermal weapons so there are no casualties.

In the following days, they became more cautious.

After the snowstorm stopped, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the outside was covered with ice for thousands of miles.

Fortunately, the base had already predicted that there would be no way to drive, so Qin Yunxi was not surprised when the space ability user took out the skis.

The tools equipped at the base were not as good as the ones Qin Yunxi had prepared herself, so she gave up the allocated supplies and took out her and Fifteen Sixteen's sliding tools from the space.

Qin Yunxi can skate and has a good balance, but she has never skated on the snow with a skateboard. The original owner doesn’t like those adventurous extreme sports, and she doesn’t know how to do them!

Nearly half of the other team members didn’t know how to do it, and the captain only gave them half a day to learn.

Half a day later, the teammates who could ski took the novice snow killer on the road one by one.

This time the ground was covered with heavy snow, and they could only move forward relying on a compass and the leader's experience.

It took them three days to reach their destination.

The good news was that there was no one at the mine they had chosen, because it was in the mountains, the temperature was too cold and there was a fear of avalanches, so all personnel had already evacuated.

The bad news is that the first floor of the small residential building in the mine was submerged, and the remaining second floor looked like a dangerous building. Everything else in the mine had been buried.

What this means is that they don’t know whether there is a pile of coal, a hill or something else under the snow, and they need to find the entrance and mine it themselves!

After learning about the current situation, Qin Yunxi was going crazy!

She is a pure southern girl. In the past twenty years, she just went to the north for a week in winter because she was curious about snow.

Now she is asked to dig coal in minus thirty degrees Celsius?

This hurts her more than the knife!

"Captain, are we going to dig coal with our bare hands? Do we need to set a small goal? For example, how many square meters of snow each person digs per hour..." A teammate who thought he was funny and humorous said in a sarcastic tone.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!" The captain had just replaced the glass sponsored by Qin Yunxi for the windows, and glared at him irritably when he heard this.

Qin Yunxi shivered and leaned against the newly lit fire to keep warm. Hearing this, he looked up and said, "All the tools in the mine are buried in the snow. Even if we dig them out, we don't know if they can be used. But I also have an excavator and a snowplow in my space. I don't know if they can be used at this temperature."

"Take it out and let us see it!" A light flashed in the captain's eyes, and he finally felt a little hope!

Qin Yunxi estimated the size and asked someone to make room for the things.

The captain started to check it without saying anything. After some operation, he asked Qin Yunxi for some things. Finally, he found that it could be used.

He immediately took people out to investigate, and then asked Qin Yunxi to take action. He casually selected a space ability user to release the car.

A group of men began to take turns working!

Qin Yunxi was too lazy to squeeze with a bunch of people, so she took out a stove from the space and asked Shiwu to light it for her. Then she put a pot on it and made ginger tea for everyone.

In fact, everyone would rather have some high-concentration alcohol, but ginger tea is barely acceptable.

After clearing all the snow near the small building, they moved to the first floor. The old man who grew up in the north also helped everyone build a brick bed. In this way, they no longer had to shiver in the cold indoors, and they no longer had to worry about freezing to death in their sleep.

After more than half a month, they finally filled the spaces of Qin Yunxi and the other three space ability users.

They can finally return to Kyoto base!

Qin Yunxi was generous for once and brought out more than 30 kilograms of seafood for everyone to enjoy.

A wood-type mutant asked Qin Yunxi for some seeds, and a lot of vegetables grew.

The teammates who went to clean up the mess were also stunned to see such a sumptuous dinner. A dark and strong uncle said sadly: "During the Chinese New Year last year, my son said that he would take us to the south to escape the cold and eat seafood during the Chinese New Year this year. I ate seafood during the Chinese New Year this year, but I don’t know if my son is still alive..."

He choked up at the end.

When someone heard this, they took out their mobile phones and realized that today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and a new year had arrived.

Perhaps because everyone was thinking of their families far away, the good mood for the dinner faded by half.

Qin Yunxi shook her head and took out two bottles of wine, saying with a smile: "How can we celebrate the New Year without wine and drinks? Come on, eat the food while it's hot. Although the wine is not much, it's enough for everyone to have a sip. I hope we can have a sip of wine this time next year!"

She took out a bottle of very low-alcohol fruit wine and poured herself a small glass.

"Okay, this time next year, I hope everyone is still alive and well, with plenty of wine and meat!"

The others didn't act pretentiously. Each of them poured a bowl of seafood soup and clinked glasses with Qin Yunxi. After warming their stomachs, they passed the bottle around and drank it down in one sip.

The next morning, after gathering up all their belongings and erasing all traces of their lives, they set out on their return journey.

After sliding on the snow for two days, which was not only tiring but also dangerous, and after encountering mutant animals once again, Qin Yunxi finally remembered the forgotten snowmobile.

There were not many cars, just over ten. She kept half for preparation and took out the other half.

No one blamed her for taking out the good things at this time. They were all people who knew their limits and were grateful.

Even the slightest sound was suppressed by the people around him.

The captain immediately took people to cut down trees and made a trailer to hook it to the snowmobile.

Now they can save a lot of energy and speed up the process a lot!

Another half a month later, they finally returned to the Kyoto base.

When Qin Yunxi returned home after completing her mission, she took off her hat and coat. Zhuang Qiao came downstairs and saw that it was her daughter who had returned. She cried out and rushed over, hugging Qin Yunxi and started to cry.

The temperature is now close to minus fifty degrees Celsius.

A few days ago, when Zhuang Qiao and Grandma Zhuang were cleaning the warehouse, they found two cans of baby formula powder and thought of sending them to Area C for Miao Jin's two children.

It happened that Qin Dacong and Qin Yunzheng were both busy, so Zhuang Qiao thought it wasn't far and sent it over herself.

When they were downstairs at Zhuang’s house, a corpse was pushed down from the top floor and smashed into pieces in front of Zhuang Qiao!

Even half of the head rolled in front of her, the impact was really huge.

It was also the first time she knew that it was possible to smash someone to pieces without the help of props!

Fortunately, her aunt who came out to watch the fun found her in time and took her home. Otherwise, given the greed and viciousness of human nature, it is hard to imagine where the silly Zhuang Qiao would be taken and what would happen to her.

In the following days, Zhuang Qiao had nightmares one after another. She finally realized how fragile people would become in extreme cold. When she was awake, she became even more worried about her daughter who had been wandering outside for almost two months.

Seeing Qin Yunxi safe and sound, her heart finally settled down, and she couldn't help crying out the worry and grievances she had felt over the past two days.

Qin Yunxi was stunned for a moment and then hugged her back. It was only two months, and she felt like crying just thinking about it!

"Mom, come on, stop crying, or my dad will think I made you angry just after I came back. You don't want your daughter to get beaten up just after she comes back, do you? Come on, look what gift I brought you!"

Qin Yunxi patted Zhuang Qiao on the shoulder, then pulled him to the fireplace, took out a few pieces of thick wood from the space and threw them in to add to the fire, and then took out a few rabbits from the space.
