Chapter 261: 261. Mandatory Task from the Base

She looked at the stack of particles that she had collected before. These particles were grey in color and stacked together as powder in a plastic bags. The amount was only a few grams even after working a few days.

It was a slow process.

Looking at the particles in front of her, Anna had the faint feeling that the closer barrier might have been caused by this thing. Was it because she ingested it in her food?

But it was only a conjecture.

After all, Anna didn’t’ check her mental strength every single moment.

She looked at her potatoes and decided to check it again tomorrow. It was already late today, so she just continued to filter more water to get more of these particles.

She still used the rainwater because the water from the edge areas had much more of these particles. So, Anna simply collected a lot of them as much as possible.

...

The next day, Anna checked her mental state. It had basically recovered, but it was not completely full.

It seemed that her recovery progress was a bit slow.

Or it might because her mental strength’s amount had increased and it was not so fast to recover.

After taking a simple was, Anna was about to cook her breakfast when there was a notification from her phone. Looking at it, it was an announcement from the base application.

Notification: Every member of the base is required to clean the snow around their respective residence, be it rented alone or rented together, along with the road in front of their residence. There will be inspection done on 4 PM and those who didn’t cleanup will be fined with contribution points.

The piled up snow can be placed in the respective areas marked in the map attached below.

Anna looked at the map and her lips twitched. Well, in short, it was an empty lot in each area, but it was better than letting these snow piled up on their courtyard and blocked their way out.

There were also pictures of examples of how they should clean their residences.

"I guess I can only test it later." Anna looked at her mind and then looked at the potatoes. In the end, she made pancakes for breakfast and then went to pay a visit to Dylan after wrapping herself up.

Dylan had already read the notification and nodded when he saw Anna coming. He sighed and handed a cup containing soup to Anna. "It’s a warm soup, which will help you to stay warm during this period of time. Drink some before going to work."

"Thank you." Anna happily accepted the cup from Dylan.

"Meow." It tasted pretty good.

Kitty licked his lips. Clearly, Dylan also made some portion for the cat. This cat didn’t really have many taboos from eating aside from some food that clearly didn’t suit him.

"I was thinking of using this chance to buy more food from the supermarket because there’s a limit to how much food can be bought online, but I guess it can only be done later." Dylan sighed as he took out a shovel from his storage room.

Anna thought about the situation outside and nodded. She understood why Dylan wanted to buy more food. The situation seemed to be a bit chaotic outside and with the temperature increase, researchers would have to research plants that could survive this temperature.

After all, most of their plants were still planted outside.

Some of them were indeed in an indoor greenhouse or something like that. But the rest was still outside.

It would be impossible for them to provide enough food for everyone in the base only relying on the limited greenhouse. After all, they hadn’t had enough time to make enough greenhouse to produce a large amount of food.

The farm was also still partially outside and it was hard to keep so many animals indoor.

So this snow was also a big obstacle for them.

The hot temperature back then was already very difficult, but plants were still able to survive as long as they had enough water. With the help of the researchers to regulate their temperature, the plants were able to survive.

But it would be more and more difficult now.

The two extreme temperature made their lives very difficult to survive. It was not impossible, but it was very uncomfortable from various sides.

And people would also think about this.

So, wouldn’t the price of food rise?

Anna sighed when she thought about this. "Let’s check it later. It should be easier to get out in the afternoon when more people had already cleaned up the snow."

"Yes." Dylan nodded. "Oh, right, we can also request a bag of rough salt to be used to melt the snow. They officials are planning to mix the salt to the road later to prevent snow from forming."

"There are enough salt?" Anna asked another question.

"Salt is still easy to make. It seems that it’s transported from City C base because it’s near the sea and it’s not that far from here," Dylan replied.

The advantage of being in the official base was that it could contact other official base in other cities. Depending on their terrain, each base has their own advantage.

City A was placed near the mountain, so there were many plants that had been salvaged here and put in the green house. Even if it was not very complete, but it was still more than enough in case there was any need for them.

The building was not that easy, though.

Thankfully, there were more than enough material lying around here for them to build the base.

City C was placed near the sea. Aside from the fishes and other seafood that they could get, there were also a lot of salt. The official bases were sending to other bases because in this thick snow, these salt would be important.

Not for food but to melt the snow.
