Chapter 143 Finding Gold Mine
After listening to Bai Tang's words, everyone unanimously agreed to leave the base.
Lin Feng asked Bai Tang, "Where should we go to find what Mu Mu needs?"
Bai Tang said, "We can just drive around outside, and Mu Mu will remind me where there are things."
We don't need to worry about it at all; after all, it's something it needs.
Bai Tang could only explain it to them this way; he couldn't directly tell them about his rebirth.
The outside temperature isn't so hot anymore; although it's still around 40 degrees Celsius, at least it won't be hot enough to cause a tire blowout.
Bai Tang and his group no longer need to worry about not being able to get back in the scorching sun at noon.
Gu Yanxu said, "Let's go tomorrow, the sooner the better."
Bai Jiyang said from the side, "Then let's all get some rest early tonight so we can go out for a walk tomorrow."
Grandpa Gu also said, "You guys go out for a walk, I'll watch the house. Anyway, it's quite hot outside, I don't want to go."
Mother Gu and Father Gu also said, "We two won't go either, you young people can go."
Bai Tang said, "We may not be back for a day or two. I will leave you some supplies when we return."
Mother Gu said, "Don't worry, I still have food there."
In the afternoon, they were packing up the things they had brought for the trip.
When it was time for dinner, Bai Tang brought out some delicious food.
Father Gu still said worriedly at the dinner table, "You guys have to be very careful when you leave the base."
Bai Tang said, "Don't worry, we'll be right back, nothing will happen."
After dinner, everyone went to rest. Bai Tangand Gu Yanxu also went back to their bedroom to wash up.
Gu Yanxu sat on the edge of the bed, drying Bai Tang's hair, and said:
"The gold mine is in the western suburbs, about fifty kilometers away."
Bai Tang turned around and said, "Then let's get up around six o'clock tomorrow morning for breakfast, and set off around seven o'clock."
Gu Yanxu agreed with Bai Tang: "Perfect, the temperature isn't that high anymore anyway."
It's just in time to have breakfast at home in the morning.
It's getting late, let's go to sleep.
The two lay on the bed covered with a small blanket, with the fan blowing, and the temperature was just right.
...
The alarm clock that Bai Tang had set went off on time at around 6 a.m. the next morning.
Bai Tang reached out and turned off the alarm clock, then nudged Gu Yanxu next to him.
"Get up. Go wake Xiao Yang and the others up first. I'm going to take a two-minute nap."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanxu leaned over and hugged Bai Tang, then said:
"Okay, I'll go wake them up first, you can take a nap a little longer."
Gu Yanxu got out of bed and went to Lin Fan's room to wake them up one by one.
He went back inside to wash his face and brush his teeth, and at that moment Bai Tang also got up and got dressed.
After Gu Yanxu finished washing up, Bai Tangalso went to wash up.
When the two arrived in the living room, Lin Feng and the others were already waiting for them to have breakfast.
Bai Tang yawned and asked, "What would you all like to eat?"
Lin Fan spoke first: "Sister-in-law, I want to eat xiaolongbao and wontons."
"Sis, I want to eat a baked bun, the kind with chili sauce inside."
Bai Jiyang then told him what he wanted to eat.
Then Bai Tang looked at Lin Feng and Lin Zhou,who hadn't spoken yet.
They both said, "We want to eat fried dough sticks and tofu pudding."
Bai Tang took out what they wanted to eat one by one, and then took out two servings of meat buns and spicy soup for himself and Gu Yanxu.
There's nothing wrong right now, so Bai Tangand the others didn't call for their parents and grandfather.
After a quick breakfast, Gu Yanxu and Lin Zhouwent outside to prepare to drive.
Bai Tang and Lin Fan stayed inside to clean up the dishes on the dining table.
The group quickly packed their things and then walked out of the living room together.
Bai Jiyang walked over and opened the gate, and two cars drove out one after the other.
Then he turned around, closed the gate, and the group got into their respective cars.
It was still Bai Tang, Gu Yanxu, and Lin Fan in one car.
Lin Feng, Lin Zhou, and Bai Jiyang shared a car.
Both vehicles had Walkie-Talkie devices on them to facilitate communication between the two vehicles.
They drove towards the base entrance, where some pedestrians were already walking along the road.
They soon arrived at the base entrance, swiped their cards, and a staff member removed the gate's barrier.
Many people are leaving the base now, so no one is stopping them.
Gu Yanxu and his team took advantage of the cooler morning temperature and traveled more than 20 kilometers without taking a break.
As they passed the edge of the city, they looked into the city.
The city was desolate, with most of the tall buildings collapsed and overgrown with weeds.
Bai Tang sighed in the car, "In just a few years, the city has changed so much."
Gu Yanxu also said, "There are hardly any people living in the city now, it will definitely become deserted quickly."
Lin Fan, sitting in the back seat, said, "I don't know what it looks like inside now; I only got a general idea earlier."
Bai Tang said, "There must be a lot of plants and animals inside now; it's just ruins now."
Lin Fan sighed again, "Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to go back to live in the city."
Gu Yanxu remarked, "Just wait and see, it won't get through in less than ten or eight years."
Around noon, Gu Yanxu parked his car at an abandoned house, intending to take a break.
After parking, Lin Fan and Lin Feng went inside to check on the situation.
Gu Yanxu and Lin Zhou checked the surroundings and found no problems on either side.
Only then did they feel at ease resting next to the half-collapsed house.
There was no one around for miles, so Bai Tangwasn't worried about being seen.
She took out some boxed lunches from her storage space and gave them to everyone for lunch.
They sat on the rocks nearby and started eating their boxed lunches.
During dinner, Lin Zhou asked, "Sister-in-law, is Mu Mu still not pregnant?"
Bai Tang said, " Mu Mu didn't say anything. Anyway, there's no rush. Since we're out here, let's take our time looking."
After dinner, Lin Fan and the others went to a secluded spot nearby.
Then I took care of my personal physiological needs in a simple way.
Bai Tang went into the room, then quickly slipped into his spatial dimension to relieve himself.
After a while, she came out of the space and brought some fruit for everyone to replenish their energy.
Bai Jiyang and the others have all returned after resolving the issue.
Bai Tang handed over the fruit he was holding, and Lin Zhou and the others reached out and each took a piece of fruit.
Then they rested briefly in some shady spots under the abandoned houses.
Gu Yanxu and Bai Tang whispered to each other, "We'll arrive in about two more hours."
Bai Tang whispered, "When we get closer, I'll tell them it was Mu Mu who said it."
Gu Yanxu knew the exact location of the western suburbs mine, so they weren't wandering aimlessly, but were heading specifically towards the western suburbs.
After the hottest part of the day, around noon,Bai Tang and his group got back in the car and set off again.
