Chapter 365

Looking at his unusually enthusiastic appearance, Lin Qianhuan couldn’t help but frown.

Seeming to realize his behavior was a bit abrupt, he scratched his head sheepishly.

“Base Chief, please don’t misunderstand. I really want to contribute to Building 72.

I was present when they were selecting the building leader, but I was eliminated because my power level was too low.

Now that I see there’s an opportunity, I got a little excited. Please don’t blame me.”

They were the only two space-ability users left in Building 72, and Miao Xiaofeng was indeed the best candidate.

After all, the Xiangyang Base didn’t have many space-ability users, and those with higher levels were already assigned.

The remaining space-ability users weren’t much different from Miao Xiaofeng and Zhou Ruoyun.

Instead of wasting time recruiting space-ability users from other residential buildings, it was better to let these two try.

At least they were familiar with the situation in Building 72 and wouldn’t panic.

Lin Qianhuan nodded, “Alright.

Then you’ll be responsible for two-thirds of the supplies, and Zhou Ruoyun will be responsible for one-third.

You two will jointly serve as the building leaders of Building 72, and you must be dedicated and put the residents first.”

Hearing this, the smile on Miao Xiaofeng’s face instantly froze.

He rubbed his cold hands and tentatively said, “Base Chief, why don’t I just take responsibility for all the supplies?

Although Zhou Ruoyun is a space-ability user, she’s mute. How can she serve as a building leader?

I’m not discriminating against her, but the job of a building leader requires communication with the residents, and she can’t do that at all.”

Zhou Ruoyun pursed her lips and stood there without moving.

What Miao Xiaofeng said was true. She couldn’t speak, and she wasn’t qualified to take on this important task.

Lin Qianhuan glanced at Miao Xiaofeng, “Your original building leader in Building 72 was a normal person.

And what did he do?

Besides, although Zhou Ruoyun can’t speak, she may not be inferior to you in other aspects.”

Miao Xiaofeng chuckled twice and didn’t say anything more.

Zhou Ruoyun took a step forward, took out paper and pen from her space, and wrote a line on it with her already frozen hand.

“I can.”

Although her hands were numb and without feeling, and the handwriting on the paper was slightly scrawled,

she wrote earnestly, stroke by stroke, which calmed Lin Qianhuan’s slightly impetuous heart.

Seeing her volunteer, Lin Qianhuan was in a good mood.

“I believe you can too.”

Although she had only just met Zhou Ruoyun, Lin Qianhuan had a very good impression of her.

This girl had a tenacity, like a towering tree rooted deep in the soil, silent and simple, yet full of vitality.

Seeing that Lin Qianhuan had made a decision, Miao Xiaofeng clenched his fists a little unwillingly, but still had a smile on his face.

“Since the Base Chief requires it, then I have nothing to say.

I will definitely work hard to cooperate with Zhou Ruoyun in the future, help her communicate with the residents, and I will do my best to help her with anything she doesn’t know.”

Lin Qianhuan turned her head to look at him, but didn’t say much.

This Miao Xiaofeng was really “eloquent.”

He subtly belittled Zhou Ruoyun, saying that he would help her, but in fact, every sentence emphasized Zhou Ruoyun’s lack of ability.

Lin Qianhuan looked at Zhou Ruoyun, only to see the other party clutching the corner of her clothes a little embarrassedly.

Although she was wearing the uniformly distributed military coat, she still looked very thin and weak.

“Focus on improving your strength.

Only when you grow strong enough can you see different scenery.”

Zhou Ruoyun was stunned for a moment, then her eyes turned slightly red, and she nodded very excitedly.

Miao Xiaofeng, who became the background, was a little embarrassed, but he didn’t dare to say anything more, only silently kept smiling.

After dealing with the building leader issue of Building 72, Lin Qianhuan checked the supplies in the space of the dead man again.

After confirming that there were no suspicious items, she let Miao Xiaofeng and Zhou Ruoyun put them into their spaces.

“Remember to distribute the firewood to the survivors as soon as possible. It’s best not to give me a chance to change the building leader of Building 72 again.”

There was a hint of threat in Lin Qianhuan’s words, and Miao Xiaofeng nodded hurriedly.

“Base Chief, don’t worry, definitely not.”

Lin Qianhuan only nodded, then turned around and left with Jiang Xing.

Back in the car, Jiang Xing gripped the steering wheel and started the car, then said, “You should have seen that Miao Xiaofeng is a dishonest guy, right?

Why are you still using him?”

Lin Qianhuan pulled down her mask and sipped the hot water in her cup to warm up.

She said softly, “Cast a long line to catch a big fish.

Logically speaking, even if he has a backer, a person wouldn’t be stupid enough to be an enemy of hundreds of survivors in a residential building alone.

Unless…”

Jiang Xing steadily controlled the steering wheel and raised his eyebrows slightly, “Unless this guy has accomplices, and his accomplices are strong enough to suppress the survivors in Building 72 with force.”

Lin Qianhuan smiled and blew on the white air at the mouth of the bottle, “Yes, that’s the logic.

If I transferred a space-ability user from another place to be the building leader, the people with ulterior motives in Building 72 would definitely not dare to show their faces.

Because they would suspect that the new building leader was an informant sent by me, and they would act with extra caution.

For them, Miao Xiaofeng and Zhou Ruoyun are old residents of Building 72, so naturally they are not a threat.”

The heat of the water in the thermos slowly dissipated after only a few minutes.

Lin Qianhuan screwed on the lid and put the cup back into her space.

“Before leaving, I stuffed a communicator to Zhou Ruoyun.

She is smart. She directly put the communicator into her space and was not noticed by Miao Xiaofeng.

From now on, she will be my informant in Building 72, keeping an eye on their every move for me.

After all, she is a mute who can’t speak, and no one will be suspicious of her.”

Jiang Xing hooked his lips, “It’s a good idea.

Where are we going next?”

Lin Qianhuan looked at the gloomy sky and raised her chin in the direction of home, “We can go home.

I’m afraid the news of my outing inspection has already been leaked by someone with ulterior motives.

Next, no matter which residential building I go to, I will only see what they want me to see.

I don’t have the leisure to watch them act, I might as well go home and eat hot pot.”

Jiang Xing nodded, “Alright.

If you want to make a surprise inspection again, it will have to be after a while, after they have relaxed their vigilance.”

The blizzard was still falling, but fortunately, the effect of the melting agent was good. With the hard work of the snow removal team, the snow in the entire Xiangyang Base had been cleared.

After hearing the new benefits proposed by Lin Qianhuan, more and more survivors joined the snow removal team, greatly increasing efficiency.

Returning home, Lin Qianhuan shook off the snowflakes on her body and walked to the fireplace to warm up.

They had been gone for a long time, and the firewood in the stove had almost burned out, but the temperature in the room had increased a lot.

After cleaning up the waste ash, she added some dry firewood.

Jiang Xing took out an electric pot from the corner and began to prepare dinner for today.

“Besides eating hot pot, what else do you want to eat?”
