Shao Cheng looked at his wife with admiration as she easily persuaded the girls from the Cheng family, especially the two troublemakers, Ming Mei and Wen Beining.

Cheng Qianyu held his forehead and sighed, saying that his silly wife was sold by Qingyu and even helped Qingyu count the money.

The matter of going to Yuncheng was quickly settled. Under Qingyu's deception, Wen Being and Mingmei successfully took the bait and agreed to accompany Qingyu to Yuncheng after the cold wave. Gu Jinghe and a few others had their own thoughts, while Cheng Qianyu and Sheng Yibai were two men who were unwilling and unable to make the decision for their wives, so the matter was perfectly settled.

After seeing Qingyu and Shaocheng off, the girls went upstairs to sleep contentedly.

There were only a few men left in the living room on the first floor, still finishing up their work. Cheng Qianyu frowned and said, "Gu Jinghe, Chu Huo, why don't you two try to persuade Mingmei and Ningning?"

Gu Jinghe raised his head from the book: "Don't you want to go?"

Cheng Qianyu pursed his lips: "Go, but I don't want them to go, over there..."

"Just go if you want to. Ningning and Mingmei are not dodders. Their strength is not inferior to any strong person in the end times. They are fully capable of protecting themselves. Moreover, Yuncheng is a place that is well-deserved to be the first in the country in terms of both biological diversity and plant diversity. It will be a great help to research."

Cheng Qianyu compromised, and Sheng Yibai continued: "Who are you going to let go this time? Who will stay in Beijing?"

Gu Jinghe pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say yet. There is also the matter of the Ovi Port meteorite. I have a feeling that this matter will also be put on the agenda after the cold wave."

"Okay, let's do this for now. Let's deal with the cold wave first."

The matter concerning Yuncheng was temporarily put on hold because when everyone woke up the next day, they discovered that heavy snow had begun to fall from the sky. After inspection by Gu Jing and several others, they found that it was just ordinary snow and did not contain various corrosive substances like the acid rain in summer.

When this discovery was announced, all the residents of Beijing City breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the sudden mutation of the residents during the acid rain had caused considerable losses to each base.

The temperature has dropped to around minus 40 degrees Celsius. Such temperatures have occurred across the country before the end of the world, but have never been reached in Beijing. Some people with special abilities still have no reaction to this. After all, after the transformation of their special abilities, their physical qualities in all aspects are no longer the same as before.

However, for ordinary residents who have been living in Beijing and have no supernatural powers, many of them have begun to stay indoors to avoid the severe cold.

The command center held an emergency meeting to discuss the possible impact of the sudden heavy snow.

Many departments are complaining that there is still a week left and a lot of final finishing work has not been completed, and the sudden heavy snow will delay the construction period.

Everyone was talking at once, making Shao Cheng have a headache. He scolded them coldly, "Shut up, increase the output of personnel, and speed up the work. Make sure that all heating facilities can withstand the temperature of minus 100 degrees before the cold wave arrives. Currently, we mainly recruit people with the four elements of gold, water, fire, and ice. Let other unemployed people join the construction period. There are enough crystal cores to mobilize to ensure the completion time."

A manager was stunned by Shao Cheng's words, stopped making noise, and lowered his head. Cheng Qianyu seemed to be watching the fun: "Any other questions? The crystal cores are provided by the military, and the work is done by technicians and people with special abilities. I really don't know what you messengers are pretending to be busy with."

The managers present were speechless due to Cheng Qianyu's mockery and did not dare to look up and meet his gaze. Those who dared to refute were scared back by Ye Zi's eyes.

Jiang Zheng then came out to make sarcastic remarks: "Master Cheng, this is a bit too much. They are all members of the base management and have made contributions to the base."

Cheng Qianyu sneered: "I didn't know before, I just talked about the facts. I don't know what the Jiang family did for the base during this cold wave? Did they contribute money, manpower, or effort? It's not just verbal support, right?"

Jiang Zheng frowned, and Cheng Qianyu continued: "Oh, by the way, tomorrow, the teams going to the same city will report back to the base and bring back abundant coal and oil resources that are enough for the base to survive the cold wave."

Hearing Cheng Qianyu's words, everyone present showed surprise, but Shao Cheng spoke up: "However, the base never keeps idle people, and the top management of the base has no privileges. In addition to the collective heating resources, if you want extra coal or oil, you can exchange it with something. Don't you think so, Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Zheng's face turned cold. He was indeed planning to take over the coal mines and oil. He didn't want the Jiang family to spend a single cent, but he also wanted to get a share of the base's supplies. However, he was exposed, and his usually patient face turned slightly blue.

Cheng Qianyu joked: "This is not targeting the noble families. After all, there is no free lunch in the world. It is impossible for the base to support you for free. Anything has to be paid for. The Jiang family has neither contributed people nor effort, so it is not good to take it for free."

In the past, the Jiang family had been enjoying free food and free money thanks to the reputation of their laboratory and the contributions they had made. As long as the Jiang family laboratory needed experiments, they would be given the green light. Now with the Shao family laboratory as a competitor, many small private laboratories are no longer suppressed, and healthy competition has emerged, instead of a situation where one company dominates the market.

As a result, the Chiang family cannot adopt a plagiaristic approach just because of this name.

After the meeting, most of the management were still in a good mood. After all, the families who contributed money and effort still enjoyed preferential purchasing policies, except for the Jiang family of course.

It was snowing heavily. The road that had just been cleared was already up to the calf in less than half an hour. When Cheng Qianyu returned home, Wen Beining and Mingmei were looking at the snow outside through the glass and sighing, "This snow is so heavy. When will it stop?"

Mingmei: "It's minus 40 degrees Celsius now, and even down jackets are warm. If a cold wave really comes, how many creatures will be frozen to death?"

Cheng Qianyu looked at the two people who were in mourning and felt sad, and his forehead twitched: "Mingmei, have you and Chu Huo strengthened the heating at home?"

Mingmei turned around and looked at Cheng Qianyu who had just entered the room: "It's okay. We have tested it at more than 200 degrees below zero and there is no problem. What about the base?"

"The collective heating can only withstand temperatures of minus 100 degrees Celsius now, which is not up to the standard at home. After all, apart from you and Gu Jinghe, there are no higher-level ice-type psychics in the base, and the tolerance level is not up to standard."

Wen Beining also turned around and looked at Cheng Qianyu: "Do we need Brother Gu and Brother Chu to help? After all, if the cold wave can really reach minus 200 degrees, then everyone will die if the heating is cut off."
