The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Chapter 71)

Not only are Ms. Liao and Captain Man pragmatic, but Song Ning is too.

After discussing it with Lance, they decided that the base would arrange for people to go and install the greenhouses, while Song Ning and Lance would go back to pack and move.

As for the crystal core fragments, Song Ning said he hadn't brought them with him when he came over, and he would bring them over when he moved, so he hadn't given them away yet.

Although he had a very good impression of the storage base, he still had to be careful in the apocalypse.

However, after he and Lance had painstakingly moved the things over, he was ashamed to realize that he hadn't thought things through well enough about the storage base.

When they moved in, the two greenhouses in the backyard had already been built, and even the frozen soil had obviously been turned over, so it was ready to be sown and planted at any time.

In addition, there was even a newly built earthen wall around the greenhouse. Song Ning asked and found out that he hadn't read the booklet carefully. The greenhouse was built with an earthen wall attached. This showed how much the base wanted them to be self-sufficient and live well.

"Brother Qing, please count them. There are 350 crystal core fragments here."

Song Ning handed over the crystal core fragments, and A Qing took them seriously and started counting them one by one. Song Ning wasn't angry. He grabbed the keys that A Qing had given them and continued to busy himself with Lance.

Their coal hasn't been moved over yet; the supplies that have been moved over first are canned goods, cornbread, smoked meat, cured meat, and frozen fresh meat.

It took two trips to bring all these things over in a small cart. In addition, there were two racks, some clothes, various tools, ropes, and even the ashes left over from the previous burning. Song Ning packed them up and brought them over as well.

Fortunately, they had already decided on two rooms for storage in their new home. One room mainly contained two shelves, where tools and canned goods were kept as before. The other room was used to store food, and he had hung three ropes on the wall with nails, which were filled with smoked meat, cured meat, and cured fish.

The rest of the room was filled with four large freezers. Song Ning had considered putting them by the door, but then thought that the house was big enough to fit them all, so she felt more at ease putting them inside.

They didn't originally have a suitable bed, but they brought the mattress over, so they temporarily used it as a bed, just like before. There were two stabilizers on the floor next to them, which Song Ning and the base had purchased separately, to place the crystal core mini-sun.

Song Ning tried putting a crystal core fragment inside, and the crystal core mini-sun quickly started working. He sat on the mattress and soon felt a warm heat gradually eroding the surrounding cold air, and soon his whole body became warm.

"This miniature solar core is really useful!" Song Ning would be lying if he said he wasn't pleasantly surprised. With this, he would never have to worry about not having enough coal again.

"Of course, Dr. Liao is the most authoritative in this field."

Ah Qing came over after counting the fragments. "The number has been confirmed. Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Song. Also, Captain Man asked me to tell you that if you want to charge the crystal core fragments, there is a charging station that will be completed in about fifteen minutes if you walk towards the base."

Only fifteen minutes?

Song Ning nodded gratefully, "Please thank Captain Man for me; this is good news for us."

Aqing scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Mr. Song, you're too kind. You're the ones who have made a great contribution to the base. Also, Captain Man asked me to tell you that there are plans to build a charging station next to you. However, due to various shortcomings, it will probably take about three months to be completed. Until then, you'll have to make do with going to the charging station in front to charge your devices."

Song Ning shook her head, "What's this about being wronged? This is the place we chose ourselves."

After confirming and inspecting the house and greenhouse with Song Ning, A Qing had Song Ning sign his name in his work log, and then left with the crystal core fragment.

The empty space was now empty except for Song Ning and Lan Si, and everything seemed to have returned to how it was before.

Song Ning found two clean cloths, one for herself and one for Lance, and wiped the entire house down.

When the two pieces of cloth became tattered and worn, the house became clean and tidy.

After a busy day, by evening, the house was still somewhat empty, but compared to before, it already looked like a home.

What made Song Ning happiest was that they now had a proper kitchen. The crystal core battery could even be used to cook. He plugged in the pot he had traded with the base, and as soon as he turned it on, the pot gradually began to heat up.

A small piece of the remaining mutton fat was cut and thrown in, while Lance, standing beside him, neatly cut two large pieces of mutton with great strength, and Song Ning carefully watched the heat and took three cornbreads to bake until the edges were slightly crispy.

The mutton was diced by Song Ning before it was thawed. After stir-frying it in mutton fat until the edges were golden brown, Song Ning opened a can of peas and poured half of it into the stew.

The lamb is tender and juicy, and the peas soak up all the flavorful broth, making it especially delicious when eaten with crispy corn tortillas.

As Song Ning savored the delicious food, she couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know how Dr. Liao came up with the crystal nucleus battery, but I would call it the greatest invention of all time."

"I used to have a hard time controlling the heat when using a stove, but now with the crystal core battery, cooking has become much easier."

He even felt that the past was too painful to recall. For a while, every time he cooked, he only wished he could turn into a machine, able to precisely control the heat in the stove.

Unfortunately, he hadn't used it much before the apocalypse, and after the apocalypse, he mostly received meals as requisition, which were good enough to fill his stomach, and the food was hardly delicious.

Now, having finally managed to control the heat and cook the best meal he's ever had, and with the mini solar panel for warmth, the lamb fat bits mixed with the soft, tender beans had a slightly salty and fragrant taste. The cornbread, though rough, was fragrant and crispy. This feeling of happiness almost brought him to tears.

Lance didn't feel anything in comparison; he just felt that human eyes looked unusually bright today, which gave him a strange feeling.

He held the food that the humans had specially prepared for him, and his warm, large hand curiously reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Song Ning's eyes.

He moved so close to Song Ning that their noses almost touched.

"what is this?"

He held up his finger for a moment, then stuck out his barbed tongue and licked it; it tasted salty.

Lance looked at Song Ning in surprise and confusion, "You cried? Why? Are you unhappy?"

Startled by his intimate and natural gesture, Song Ning's cheeks flushed quickly. He leaned back and stammered an explanation.

"No, no, of course not, I'm just so happy!"

He later realized that Lance was only wearing a close-fitting long-sleeved shirt because he had activated the crystal core mini sun. At this moment, the shirt was soaked with sweat, and a large area around the collar made his already taut chest muscles almost look like they were about to burst out.

He abruptly closed his eyes. "Song Ning, you're just lusting after other people's bodies. You're despicable!"
