Chapter 163 Oh, this is so depressing!
Chapter 163 Oh, this is so depressing!
In mid-to-late October 1935, the large force finally arrived in Shaanxi.
Zhou Yue had never been to Shaanxi in her previous life, so seeing the Loess Plateau here was an eye-opener.
The climate here is very dry, not as humid as in the south. Sometimes the wind blows and brings up a cloud of dust.
Zhou Yue knew that this was the return journey of the Long March, and from now on she would no longer have to continue the long journey.
The Northwest base will be built here, and it will be here for almost 13 years from now.
Every soldier had a smile on his face. After all, no one wanted to run around every day and everyone wanted to have a stable place.
With Zhou Yue's help, a large number of warriors' fires were preserved.
Everyone is full of fighting spirit and ready to devote themselves to the construction of the base.
[Sister Yueyue, congratulations! The Long March mission has been successfully completed! Will you choose to return to the modern world? ]
When Zhou Yue heard what the system said, her brows slightly furrowed, her eyes full of reluctance.
The modern world is really good. There is no smoke of war, but there are all kinds of electronic devices and delicious food.
But after following the soldiers through life and death for two years, she really couldn't bear to leave.
[Tongzi, can you not leave? ]
After hearing Zhou Yue's answer, the system's voice also showed a hint of excitement.
[Of course you can! You can continue to stay here and participate in the mission of building a base~]
When Zhou Yue heard this, a smile appeared on her face again.
[Okay! Then I will continue to participate in the task of building the base! ]
Zhou Yue was very glad that she stayed and did not return to the modern era.
Although a base was built in Shaanxi, the soldiers still faced many difficulties.
If she left like this, she would definitely feel bad.
The first difficulty encountered when building the base was severe water shortage.
On the Loess Plateau in Shaanxi, water resources are extremely severe.
For people here, water is as precious as oil.
Since arriving in Shaanxi, the soldiers have found even washing their faces a luxury and often do not have enough water to drink.
"Hey, when will it be our turn..."
Brother Zhou Xing, holding a wooden bucket in his hand, followed Zhou Yue and the others and stood in the long line.
There are several long queues here, and it's filled with people as far as the eye can see.
Zhou Yue sighed and gently touched her brother's head.
"Don't worry, let's wait a little longer."
It’s no wonder that my brother is anxious. They all came out to fetch water since morning.
As a result, it was almost noon and there was still no water.
There was no well in the base where the large troops were stationed. People had to walk several kilometers to fetch water.
This well is shared by people within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and it is always crowded with people from morning to night.
Gou Wa was getting impatient at this point and couldn't help but start complaining.
"Oh! It's so hard to get water here. My hometown is better!"
Gou Wa's home is in the south, where there is abundant rainfall, so there is no shortage of drinking water.
The precipitation here is small, and the amount of rain that falls throughout the year can be counted on one's fingers.
Although Zhou Yue had a system, he couldn't think of any good solution for a while.
During the Long March, when there was no water, she would build an artificial pool nearby.
However, this method is not very applicable nowadays.
After all, there are deserts and plateaus everywhere, and if you want to drink water, you have to draw it from a very deep well.
Suddenly, a pool of water emerged from the ground, filled with clear drinking water.
Anyone who sees this will think it's like seeing a ghost.
So Zhou Yue didn't dare to take out the water openly.
Oh, this is so depressing!
