Hearing her daughter’s voice, Wen Fuhua regained her senses. She looked at the supplies with a complicated expression. "These supplies were given by Jiao Lizhi."
This time, Lu Jiaojiao didn’t say anything. After a moment of silence, she started carrying the supplies into the kitchen. "Since she gave them to us, just take them," she said.
Wen Fuhua nodded and helped her daughter. Although she said nothing, she would remember this kindness. If one day they needed her help, she would not hesitate to repay it.
After she sent Wen Fuhua back, Jiao Lizhi didn’t return to the Phantom Team’s residence but went to the base’s wall. Even during the heavy snowfall, the guards were still patrolling the area.
Every 50 meters, there was a watchtower built similar to a small fortress, where the guards could take a rest during their night watch.
Inside the watchtower, there was a radio connected to the radio towers, allowing them to communicate with each other inside the base. Besides that, there were also two beds, a table, several chairs, a brazier, and some supplies.
At this moment, the guards were resting inside the watchtower. The temperature had already hit -20℃ outside. Even while wearing thick winter clothes and sitting around the brazier, the guards still felt the bone-piercing cold.
Due to the harsh conditions, the guards who were assigned to guard the wall were ability-users. Those ordinary guards were either sent to the public hall, cafeteria, or other assignments where they could work inside buildings.
When Jiao Lizhi arrived, the guards had just finished roasting some sweet potatoes. Seeing her, one of the guards asked, "Comrade Jiao, what brought you here?"
Unlike the guards, she only wore a T-shirt, a long-sleeved sweater, a coat, jeans, and a pair of sneakers. Compared to theirs, her clothes were more suitable for autumn.
After she entered the guard tower, Jiao Lizhi took a seat near the brazier and asked, "I just came out for some fresh air. Comrades, how has the situation been these past days?"
Thinking that she came to patrol the area, the guards thought for a while before one of them replied, "A few hours ago, we saw a pack of snow wolves in the distance. They only stayed for half an hour before leaving. They might have been passing by."
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi frowned and asked again, "Is there any zoo in this city?"
The guards shook their heads.
Most of the survivors and guards who joined the Green Lake Base were not locals, so they didn’t know much about the situation in this city before the apocalypse.
Since no one knew, she could only say, "That wolf pack might return again. Be more alert and inform my team as soon as possible if you notice anything unusual."
The guards nodded and agreed. "Comrade Jiao, don’t worry. We will take turns resting and won’t leave the base unguarded."
"Thank you for your hard work," Jiao Lizhi said as she took out a box of self-heating hotpot and a bottle of fruit wine made from fruit planted in her space.
"Drink a little wine to warm up your bodies," she added before leaving the watchtower.
"Thank you, Comrade Jiao."
The guards were delighted by the unexpected gain. They didn’t dare to slack off and only drank a small glass of wine, just enough to warm their bodies.
