293: Some villagers have gone missing.
They had done this kind of work when they were in their original Military Unit, but they had never chopped firewood in a cold place like Heilongjiang Province.
“Alright...”
Company Commander He spoke with the logistics comrade for a while longer, wrote down everything the logistics comrade said, and then relayed it to the comrades-in-arms.
“Did everyone remember?”
“We remembered.”
The Soldiers shouted loudly.
Some Soldiers nearby heard the noise and looked over.
Company Commander He looked at Xiao Niannian.
“Comrade Xiao.”
“Company Commander He.”
“You are staying alone. If you need to go to the bathroom, you must ask another comrade to accompany you...”
Company Commander He was afraid that a Black Bear or a wild wolf might rush over if Comrade Xiao was alone.
Wait, no, Comrade Xiao beat up a tiger all by herself last time.
Company Commander He's worry for Xiao Niannian instantly vanished. If a Hei Xiazi or a wild wolf came, they definitely wouldn't escape. At that time, these Hei Xiazi and wild wolves would become food on their plates, supplementing the meals for the Soldiers here.
“Okay.”
Xiao Niannian smiled when she heard this.
Seeing Company Commander He's expression change, she knew they were remembering the time she fought the tiger. She now carries a firearm with her at all times.
The Black Bear's combat power is very strong, but when facing the power of truth, the Black Bear would still be dealt with.
As for wild wolves, they are pack animals, and they appear in the winter, so they require more attention.
However, since so many comrades-in-arms live here, everyone will come out if there is any movement.
Xiao Niannian looked at the mountain not far away. She knew this was the border area, and people from Hairy Bear often crossed the border to cause trouble. A few years ago, some comrades-in-arms even sacrificed their lives... Xiao Niannian guessed that their current mission might be related to Hairy Bear crossing the border.
If the people from Hairy Bear dare to come, they will capture them all and definitely not let them go.
“Howl...”
Xiao Niannian heard a wolf howl.
As soon as it got dark, the wolf pack started howling.
These wild wolves are simply too arrogant.
She wondered if she could communicate with the Black Bears and wild wolves. If so, she would send them to the mountains further away, or to the border, to deal with the people from Hairy Bear, no matter how many came.
Xiao Niannian usually sleeps very well, but today, when she woke up, she checked her watch: it was past twelve fifty in the morning.
Xiao Niannian first entered her Space to use the toilet, then decided to check out the toilet facilities here.
Outside, everything was white, and it wasn't snowing anymore.
Xiao Niannian walked towards the direction of the toilet.
After walking for a while, Xiao Niannian saw two sentry posts not far away. In such cold weather, these two sentries stood there, not just for a day or two, but day after day, year after year.
When she reached the toilet, Xiao Niannian saw a lamp there, and the signs for men and women were written on the building.
After coming out of the toilet, Xiao Niannian walked towards the dormitory.
Just then, Xiao Niannian heard someone running nearby.
“Report! Villagers are missing from the hamlet. The people from the village have come to ask for help...”
Villagers missing in this kind of weather?
If they haven't found a shelter or a cave to hide from the wind, they won't survive the night.
Xiao Niannian continued walking towards the dormitory. Before long, she saw two teams rush out and run toward the outside.
It seemed these comrades-in-arms were going to search for the missing villagers.
Xiao Niannian thought of the insulation blankets from her original world. She decided to make some Tin Foil Insulation Blankets in the next few days, which could save lives during crucial moments.
The production of the Tin Foil Insulation Blanket involves multiple processes, including raw material selection and coating treatment, so it wouldn't be easy to make from scratch.
She could craft many things by hand, but for this item, she would need to source some products before production.
Thinking of this, Xiao Niannian took out paper and pen and quickly started writing.
She would have Lu Jing find a way to procure these things tomorrow. She believed Lu Jing would definitely have a solution.
Xiao Niannian returned to her room, locked the door, and immediately took another quilt and a self-made sleeping bag out of her Space.
These items could only be taken out when she slept alone.
In the morning, after Xiao Niannian got up and washed, she immediately went to the room next door to look for Lu Jing.
“Captain Lu.”
Lu Jing was talking with Company Commander He and the others. Hearing Xiao Niannian's voice, he immediately looked at Xiao Niannian.
“What is it?”
“I thought of a product. These are the materials I need...”
Seeing the paper Niannian handed over, Lu Jing immediately took it.
Looking at the large list of items on the paper, Lu Jing frowned slightly.
A few of these items would be difficult to find, but even if they were difficult, he had to find them.
Tin Foil Insulation Blanket—this product was the first he had heard of.
Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing walked aside, and she told Lu Jing about the product's function.
After listening to Niannian, Lu Jing immediately said:
“I will report this to the higher-ups right now.”
This Tin Foil Insulation Blanket might not be very useful for Military Units in the south, but it is urgently needed and extremely important for comrades-in-arms in the north and other cold regions.
Because the weather was too cold, and coupled with the continuous travel over the past few days, Xiao Niannian and the comrades-in-arms did not have to train today.
Xiao Niannian stood on the training ground, watching the comrades-in-arms train.
Although the temperature was below minus twenty degrees, the comrades-in-arms were not slacking off; every one of them trained very seriously.
The snow on the training equipment not far away had been swept away, and the surrounding snow had also been cleared.
Xiao Niannian stood in the corner and watched for a while.
She heard some people discussing nearby.
“Did you hear? Six villagers went missing last night. The comrades-in-arms went out to search last night and still haven't returned...”
“comrades-in-arms from two companies went to look, and they still haven't found them...”
“I'm worried about this. If they haven't been found yet, the situation is probably not good...”
“A few years ago, some villagers went missing. They searched all night, but when they were found, they were already dead...”
Hearing these words, Xiao Niannian looked toward the mountains in the distance.
Fang Qiang, He Yong, Xiao Cui, and the others were also chatting.
“I wonder if those villagers were found yesterday. In this cold weather, not finding them after a whole night is very dangerous...”
“The villagers here have always lived in this area. Maybe they just got lost and found a cave to rest in while waiting for rescue.”
“In such cold weather, it's hard to find someone who is lost...”
Everyone felt very worried.
In the snowy mountains, there is not only cold but also wild beasts and various dangers. Tracks are covered by heavy snow. Even if they aren't frostbitten or haven't encountered other dangers, after a long time, without direction or food, it would be difficult to survive...“I hope these comrades-in-arms can find those villagers.”
