The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (128)

No one expected that after finally getting through the harsh winter, the spring that should have been something to look forward to would come crashing down on them.

Many people survived the cold winter, but this spring, filled with moisture, has caused them to succumb to illness.

Even Captain Fei, who had been busy searching for the murderer and seemed exceptionally strong, collapsed, reportedly due to severe rheumatism, and was unable to get out of bed.

As a result, Song Ning was forced to stay at home by Lance and could not go out. The only good news was that the price of ginger and chili peppers grown in their greenhouse and Farm No. 1 rose sharply due to a sudden increase in supply and demand.

The prices of these two crops are several times higher than before, mainly because the medicines are too expensive. Therefore, these two crops, which are particularly effective in removing dampness, have become very popular.

Despite the price increase, Song Ning and his team still chose to continue cooperating with the base.

Firstly, Song Ning's current physical condition is not suitable for overly complicated transactions. When trading with the base, they only need to produce the crops. The base will then send people to pack and transport the crops once they are ripe. This sacrifices a small portion of their profits, but in return, they gain greater convenience.

Secondly, the base's prices have never been low, usually at least 70-80% of the market price, and Song Ning can also look at the items in the brochure and change them, which is what Song Ning is most satisfied with.

After the first batch of ginger and chili peppers were delivered at Farm One in the spring, he discussed it with Lance and exchanged them for the fresh air system listed in the booklet, and also installed a series of protective measures.

"This fresh air system will automatically remove excess moisture and drain it through the drain pipe. You can set the appropriate humidity yourself."

The newly installed fresh air system was developed by the base in an emergency for foggy days. Song Ning had to admire the base's speed. Apart from the still attractive price, it can be said that this fresh air system has no drawbacks.

In addition to the added security measures, the main door was also replaced with a more secure high-grade security door.

The installer said that the most impressive feature of this security door is the special button on the back of the door.

"Once this button is pressed, the base's security center will know immediately that you are in danger and will arrange for a patrol team to arrive as quickly as possible."

Song Ning silently gave a thumbs up.

"I wonder which genius in the base came up with this idea; it's just too useful."

Even though he hasn't used it yet, when he heard about this feature, he could only say it was ingenious; just hearing about it made him feel incredibly safe.

The person who installed the door fell silent. He was too embarrassed to tell Song Ning that the door was originally designed for Dr. Liao, who often stayed in the lab for half a day without coming out. So the base specially developed it for Dr. Liao. The effect for Dr. Liao was that as long as he pressed a button, hot food would be immediately delivered to his mouth, so as not to affect Dr. Liao's experiments as much as possible, but also to ensure that Dr. Liao would not miss eating.

In addition to these, a new wall was installed around their house, covered with spikes that could be electrified.

"These don't need to be turned on in daily life. You can turn them on only when there is danger. However, they consume a lot of energy, so you should keep a lot of fully charged crystal cores on hand."

"Understood, thank you for your help."

After seeing the installation technicians off, Song Ning looked at the bill.

The fresh air system is the most expensive, probably because it was just developed and is a top priority for everyone, so the price is not low.

The price of the fence and power protection system is slightly lower. These were already listed in the brochure. If Song Ning hadn't suddenly fallen ill last time, they would have actually planned to exchange for them long ago.

"Can you feel a little more at ease now?"

After looking at the bill, Song Ning silently closed it and turned to look at Lance.

During this time, the murderer has not been found. Lance not only has to take care of him, but also manage both the farm and the greenhouse. When he goes out, he also has to leave the big cat behind to protect him.

Song Ning saw this and felt sorry for him. Although he didn't know if Lance's multitasking would have any negative consequences, he was certain that it would be very tiring.

Lance simply leaned in and kissed him silently, without even blinking.

"I'm not worried, it's just that things are a bit unsafe lately."

He would naturally worry about Song Ning's safety; Song Ning's safety and health were of utmost importance to him.

Song Ning kissed him back, and the two admired the new protective fence together.

The fog was thick, and visibility was still low. They were wearing two windbreakers that they had specially exchanged with the base. The material was a special waterproof material that was said to have been developed after the apocalypse, and it had recently come in handy.

The wall is quite high, about two meters, and it completely encloses the house and greenhouse.

The materials used are also from the base. From the materials to the finished product, everything is done in cooperation with the base.

The resources consumed were considerable, but still acceptable. The main reason was that the value of ginger and chili peppers in the new batch of crops had increased significantly, making these items relatively cheap to exchange.

The protective gear looks alright up close, but from a distance, it looks like a banana with half its peel removed in the fog, which looks a bit strange and not very aesthetically pleasing.

However, whether it looks good or not doesn't matter to Song Ning. What he cares about is that with these things, Lance won't have to worry about him so much and can go out without worry.

"The base's craftsmanship is quite good; exchanging those supplies for this is worthwhile."

After standing in the fog for a while, Song Ning noticed that his hair was wet in several strands. Startled, he quickly took Lance home and grabbed two towels to wipe the water off his body.

"I don't know how long this weather will last, it's so uncomfortable."

Lance took the towel he was handed and quickly dried himself off in a few swift movements.

"It will probably last for about a month."

As he spoke, he got up and grabbed another, larger bath towel, which he then wrapped around Song Ning's entire body.

"We need to be more careful, as the weather will change in more ways than just these. There will be other changes later."

Song Ning's expression almost froze; he looked at Lance with an incredulous expression.

"Are you serious?"

The weather is already so unpleasant, could things get any worse?
