Chapter 196 Follow-up on Supplies
Chen Ergou didn't think there was anything wrong with this, because in many places they had been, the people were like this, they wanted to give them everything they had.
They always followed the rules of the military and never took a single needle or thread from the people.
"Liu Yi, how can we possibly thank you?" Chen Ergou felt a little ashamed; Lin Liu Yi had given them so much that they couldn't possibly repay us.
"No need to thank me, just live well, that's enough. If it weren't for your predecessors who risked their lives to protect this motherland, where would the prosperity and strength we have today come from?"
There's no need for thanks. If anyone should be thanking them, it's future generations. Lin Liuyi thought that during the National Day celebrations, he'd let them see what kind of world they had built.
"Oh, right, this space is for you!"
This was specially made by Lin Liuyi from Princess Mingyue's side. It has a size of 100 square meters inside, and Princess Mingyue's side uses it to store mecha.
Lin Liuyi considered that the supplies she gave were too much and would be a burden for them to climb the snow mountain, so she made a space lock so that they could put the extra supplies inside.
Because it was too far ahead of its time, the system deducted a large amount of energy from Lin Liuyi, and the space also had a 10-year usage period.
Ten years may not be enough to sustain them until the new nation is established, but I believe it will provide them with enough assistance.
To be honest, when faced with a world like this, Lin Liuyi wished he could max out his cheat codes, but unfortunately, he couldn't.
The space lock system can only be sent in during the gaps between the old and new worlds in turmoil; once the world stabilizes, the space lock will immediately become ineffective.
Holding the object in his hand, Chen Ergou secretly made a decision: once they had won the battle as Lin Liuyi had said, he would definitely repay her.
While Lin Liuyi was still figuring out if he had forgotten anything and whether he should add anything, Chen Ergou's team was already discussing how to distribute the supplies.
Seeing that Chen Ergou seemed to have stopped talking to the kind person who was delivering supplies, everyone took off their coats without prior arrangement.
Director Sheng asked, puzzled, "What are you doing?"
"Chief, this coat is too warm. We'll only need it for a short while. Why don't we leave it for the comrades who come later?" one of the soldiers said firmly, touching the military coat.
"Yes, yes!"
"Let them wear it!"
"We can hold on a little longer."
"Put them on, everyone!" Director Sheng shouted, his eyes glistening with tears, but no one moved.
"That's an order!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers looked at each other and hesitated before putting their military overcoats back on.
"I know you are all good comrades, I know you are cold too, but you endured the cold to think of other comrades, you are all good! But soldiers, you are worth it too, today I order no one to take off this uniform!"
Director Sheng was naturally worried about the other soldiers, but he couldn't just stand by and watch his comrades lose their lives to benefit others.
"But Chief..." one soldier still couldn't bear it.
At this moment, Chen Ergou stood up and spoke up, "Don't worry, everyone. Liu Yi said that there will be more supplies in the future, and she will help every soldier to have clothes to wear."
"Ergou, are you serious? Is that comrade really capable?" Director Sheng breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Chen Ergou's words, but then became worried again. They didn't have that much money.
If you ask why we don't suspect Lin Liuyi is a spy, you're kidding, what kind of spy would send them supplies like that?
"Don't worry, Director. We can repay him after we succeed."
Chen Ergou also pulled the section chief aside and carefully spoke about the space deduction issue.
Although Director Sheng was shocked, he still happily patted Chen Ergou on the shoulder and repeatedly said, "Good!"
Next, Director Sheng led his team to begin gathering the supplies.
Socks, boots, gloves, hats—make sure everyone has them.
"Chief, we have overcoats, we don't need these!" The soldiers were happy, but still declined.
"Bullshit! Just take it, whatever you're given, take it!" Thinking that there were still plenty of supplies, Director Sheng stopped arguing.
Instead of wasting time, we should give the soldiers more supplies.
The soldiers who received the supplies began to gently wipe their feet with snow.
"Hey, don't forget to apply some ointment!"
"Understood, Section Chief!"
Everyone was enthusiastically applying the paint, one person applying it to the other.
"Hey, it smells really good!"
After applying the ointment, everyone put on socks and shoes as required, and a warm feeling immediately spread from the soles of their feet.
"Wow, these shoes are so warm!"
Even though they're all wearing the same shoes, people still can't help but compare them: "Your shoes are warmer, but mine are warmer!"
"Alright, stop joking around! Hurry up and get your cups to eat, and we'll get some hot water after we're done!" Sun Zhuang called out to everyone.
While Chen Ergou was helping the section chief gather supplies, Sun Zhuang had already started cooking compressed biscuits as ordered.
Logically speaking, they shouldn't have eaten so much food during their march.
However, their team had run out of food, and the dumplings had long been filled with wild grass roots. Yesterday, they had only drunk some chocolate water to keep going. Walking on this snow mountain was very physically demanding, so Director Sheng decided to let everyone have a meal.
The cooked, sticky biscuit porridge, with its fragrant aroma, attracted everyone.
Everyone lined up in an orderly fashion to get their porridge, and each person only scooped out a small amount, just enough to fill the bottom of the cup.
Chen Ergou picked it up, took a sip, and thought, "So this is what Lin Liuyi meant by 'not very good'?"
The aroma of wheat and peanuts, with a hint of sweetness, is simply blissful!
If Chen Ergou had ever tasted coconut milk, he would know that they were making coconut milk flavored compressed biscuits this time. Zhou Zheng had brought over all the scallion-flavored and coconut milk-flavored ones available on the market.
The soldiers, having eaten their fill, felt a mix of happiness and guilt. They were constantly thinking about their comrades and worried about what would happen if other units ran out of food.
Chen Ergou has already discussed this matter with Director Sheng, and they plan to split into two teams.
A team led by Director Sheng continued forward, catching up with the team ahead to share the supplies.
A team led by Chen Ergou and Sun Zhuang headed back to provide supplies to the lagging teams.
Once everyone had supplies, they caught up with the rest of the group.
In this way, we can bring hope to every team as much as possible.
"Ergou, you guys be careful!"
After giving instructions, the two teams began their operation.
They encountered more and more teams, and their supplies were being consumed quickly, but each soldier's chance of survival also increased.
