SRTT Chapter 39.3

When Ruan Ning opened the door, the first thing she felt was the coldness.

There was no fire in the room. Ruan Ning looked at Sun Yongchao unexpectedly and saw that he was dressed like a polar bear. He no longer looked as domineering as he did before.

What surprised Ruan Ning even more was that Yan Ruoxue was also there.

The two people were standing in front of the map. It seemed that they were discussing some routes.

Seeing Ruan Ning, Sun Yongchao smiled and said, “Miss Ruan, you finally came to see me. I have been looking forward to it for a long time.”

Ruan Ning also smiled like a partner and greeted him, “Brother Sun, long time no see. I heard they all call you Colonel.”

“What colonel? It’s all just empty talk now. You should freeze when you should and go hungry when you should.”

Sun Yongchao asked Ruan Ning to sit on the only two stools in the room and poured her a cup of hot tea.

Although it was called hot tea, it was actually almost cold.

Sun Yongchao sighed and said, “I’m sorry. I just prepared this, but I can’t keep it warm at all.”

Ruan Ning quickly said: “I understand.”

Sun Yongchao: “I rarely stay in the office, so there’s no fire here. But I see you’re wearing thick clothes, so it should be okay for a while, right?”

Ruan Ning nodded.

Yan Ruoxue stood aside without saying a word.

Ruan Ning looked at the map hanging on the wall: “What were you discussing just now? Are there any new developments in our disaster relief camp?”

Sun Yongchao said straightforwardly: “It’s not a secret. Miss Ruan, you can also help to discuss it. We want to send a small team to the Heihai Province. What do you think we should do?”

Ruan Ning was stunned: “Are you going to the plateau in this situation?”

Sun Yongchao sighed, and this time he really sighed, not just pretending to sigh with Ruan Ning.

He said in a heavy tone: “After the last severe cold wave, we lost contact with the Heihai Provincial Command. Now we don’t know their situation. That place is our rear area, so we must restore the communication channel as soon as possible.”

Ruan Ning glanced at Yan Ruoxue, thought for a moment, and said, “On my way here, I saw disaster victims going out to look for supplies. Logically, they should not be short of food now.”

“We let them out because our troops suffered heavy losses and we can’t organize any other work besides security.”

Sun Yongchao looked at Ruan Ning unexpectedly: “Miss Ruan is good at observation.”

Ruan Ning shook her head: “You don’t have enough people to maintain operations, and you’re sending people to the Heihai Province. The altitude there is rising all the way, and you need to cross mountains and ridges.”

“I guess the Heihai Province’s command post is probably inside an underground defense project. They may still have a chance of survival, but the team you sent out has no hope of survival.”

Sun Yongchao frowned and said nothing.

In fact, the entire decision-making level could think of this consequence, but without the assistance of the Heihai Province, they would also find it difficult to move forward and could only fight hard.

Yan Ruoxue’s tone was stiff: “Then, what do you say we should do? Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?”

Ruan Ning looked at the map again: “Actually, you can think of a solution to the north.”

Yan Ruoxue was stunned: “I understand if you said to go to the south, after all, it may not be so cold there. But why should we go to the north?”

Ruan Ning said: “It’s useless to go to the south. Didn’t you say in your notice that the further south you go, the more serious the floods will be? What can they have left?”

“In the north, on the other hand, it’s always cold in winter, so the thermal insulation of their buildings is better than ours.”

“Besides, they would consciously leave their winter clothes behind, and the loss of personnel during the cold wave would definitely not be as severe as ours, but they may not have enough food.”

“It will take about a month to go back and forth there. We can bring some compressed biscuits or other things to exchange for winter clothes with them.”
