Chapter 634 Preserving Food
As night fell, the barbecue beside the campfire exuded an alluring aroma, and the golden fat sizzled under the licking of the flames, reflecting every tired but satisfied face. Bai Ye stood up, his eyes gently swept over everyone, and the firmness and warmth seemed to dispel all the coldness and fatigue.

"Everyone, we have gained a lot tonight, but don't forget that our mission is far from over." Bai Ye's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. There was a subtle seriousness in his words, "Now, it's time to properly preserve these fruits of our labor."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers put down their chopsticks, some wiped the oil stains from the corners of their mouths, and some stood up directly, ready to devote themselves to new work. Although their movements were slightly tired, their eyes were full of enthusiasm and tacit understanding.

"Bai Ye, let's start cleaning up now." A soldier volunteered. He picked up a clean cloth and carefully wrapped a piece of steaming barbecue, fearing that even the slightest bit of it would be wasted.

"Okay, everyone split up. Some people will be responsible for packing the barbecue, and the other part will go to the warehouse to prepare for receiving it." Bai Ye quickly assigned the tasks. His instructions were concise and clear, allowing everyone to understand their responsibilities.

The soldiers then quickly took action, some of them were busy taking the barbecue off the grill and carefully wrapping it with cloth; others were busy cleaning up the debris around the campfire and ensuring that the surrounding environment was clean and orderly. Throughout the process, they cooperated tacitly, as if they had practiced countless times.

"Hey, have you finished wrapping yours? I'm almost done." A soldier looked up at his companion next to him. There were beads of sweat on his face, but his smile was unusually bright.

"It's almost done, just a few pieces left." The soldier next to him responded, his hands moving quickly between the grilled meat and the cloth, as if performing a silent dance.

As time went by, the piles of wrapped barbecued meat gradually piled up to form a small hill. Bai Ye stood aside and watched this scene with satisfaction, his heart filled with relief and pride. He knew that these barbecued meats were not just food, but also a symbol of their unity and common struggle.

"Okay, everyone, thank you for your hard work. Now, let's deliver these barbecues to the warehouse." At Bai Ye's command, the soldiers picked up the packages in front of them and prepared to march to the warehouse.

The warehouse was located in a corner of the shelter. It was a solid stone building. Its door was tightly closed, as if guarding the treasure inside. The soldiers lined up and carefully walked through the ruins in the night, heading towards the warehouse.

When they arrived at the warehouse, they saw that the door had been opened and a faint light was coming from inside. It turned out that the soldiers in charge of the warehouse had made preparations in advance and were waiting for their arrival.

"Everyone, be careful and put the barbecue in the designated place." Bai Ye reminded the soldiers as he walked into the warehouse first. The interior of the warehouse was spacious and tidy, with rows of shelves neatly arranged with various supplies on them.

The soldiers entered the warehouse one by one, and they placed the packages in their hands on the shelves carefully, fearing to make too much noise. Although their movements were slow and cautious, they were surprisingly efficient. Soon, all the barbecues were neatly stacked on the shelves.

"Bai Ye, do you think this is okay?" a soldier asked, pointing at the fully loaded shelves, with a questioning gleam in his eyes.

Bai Ye carefully checked the barbecue on the shelf and nodded with satisfaction. "Very good, everyone has done a great job. This way, we don't have to worry about food shortages."

The soldiers smiled knowingly when they heard this. They knew that the barbecue not only represented the fruits of their labor tonight, but also represented their hope and security in the future.

"Bai Ye, what should we do next?" asked a soldier, his eyes full of anticipation and curiosity.

Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Next, we must continue to strengthen defenses to ensure the safety of the shelter. At the same time, we must continue to explore the surrounding areas to find more food and resources. Only in this way can we survive in this ruin and rebuild our home."

The soldiers nodded in agreement after hearing this. They knew that although Bai Ye's words were simple, they contained endless meaning and expectations. They were willing to follow Bai Ye and fight for this common goal together.

In the following time, the soldiers continued to be busy. Some of them reinforced the walls of the shelter, and some patrolled the surrounding areas to ensure that no danger approached. Bai Ye stood aside and observed all this silently. His heart was full of emotion and hope. He knew that as long as they united and worked together, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

The night gradually deepened. In the shelter, the fire flickered, illuminating every determined and hopeful face. Soldiers sat around the campfire, sharing each other's stories and dreams. Their hearts were filled with warmth and strength, because they knew that they were not alone in this ruin. They had each other's company and support, and had infinite vision and faith for the future.

Bai Ye sat among them, his eyes gentle and deep. He looked at these soldiers, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that these soldiers were not only his comrades and partners, but also the precious wealth of his life. They used their actions to interpret what courage, persistence and unity are. In the days to come,

As the night deepened, an indescribable sense of peace and warmth filled the shelter. The soldiers had completed a day's work, and although they were physically exhausted, they were very excited. They knew that every effort was an investment in the future, and was to gain more survival opportunities for themselves and their companions in this world full of unknowns.

"Bai Ye, should we put these barbecues in the refrigerator?" a soldier suddenly suggested. His eyes fell on the barbecues neatly stacked on the shelves, and there was a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.

Bai Ye was slightly stunned when he heard this, then nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes. "You are right, it can be kept longer in the refrigerator. This way, we will have more emergency reserves when food is scarce."

So, the soldiers took action again, but this time their task was to take the stored barbecue from the shelves in the warehouse and transfer it to the refrigerator. Although this seems to be a simple task, it requires great care and patience in actual operation. In the warehouse, the soldiers were divided into several groups, each responsible for carrying barbecue in an area. They gently took the wrapped barbecue from the shelves and held it carefully in their hands, fearing that there would be any damage or omission. Although the light in the warehouse was dim, it was enough to illuminate their focused and serious faces.

"Everyone, be careful. These barbecues are our treasures." A soldier gently reminded his companions, his tone full of cherishment and love.

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention." Another soldier responded, and his movements became more cautious, as if what he held in his hand was not barbecue but a priceless treasure.

After a busy period, all the barbecues were taken down from the warehouse shelves by the soldiers. They carried the heavy packages and walked through the narrow corridor to the refrigerator area in the shelter.

The refrigerator area is located in a corner of the shelter, where several large refrigerators are placed. They are important facilities for storing food and medicine. When the soldiers arrived, they saw that the refrigerator door was already open, and there were bursts of cool air coming out, which formed a sharp contrast with the stuffiness outside.

"Hurry, let's put the barbecue in." urged a soldier. He couldn't wait to properly preserve the barbecue.

The soldiers put the packages in their hands into the refrigerator one after another, sorting them by type and quantity to ensure that each piece of barbecue would have enough refrigeration space. Their movements were quick and orderly, as if they were engaged in a silent competition.

In the shelter surrounded by ruins, there stands an eye-catching refrigerator, which is not only a symbol of technology and practicality, but also an indispensable lifeline for this small community. This refrigerator, with its unique and sturdy appearance, is particularly dazzling in the dim environment, like a beacon of hope, illuminating everyone's expectations for the future.

The first thing that catches your eye about the appearance of the refrigerator is its silver-gray metal shell. The surface has been specially treated to make it appear smooth and delicate, while also revealing an indescribable sense of toughness. This color stands out against the gray tones of the ruins, as if it were a touch of bright color inadvertently sprinkled by nature, adding a bit of vitality and vigor to this barren land.

The refrigerator is large and square, like a huge rectangular box, sitting firmly in a corner of the shelter. Its height almost touches the ceiling, and its width and depth are also considerable, enough to accommodate a large amount of food and drinks. This design not only ensures sufficient storage space, but also makes people feel its strong practicality at a glance.

The front of the refrigerator is inlaid with a large glass door. The door adopts a double-layer hollow design, which can effectively isolate the temperature changes of the outside world and keep the cold air inside the refrigerator from leaking out. The surface of the glass door is as smooth as a mirror, which can clearly reflect everything around, making the situation inside the refrigerator clear at a glance. In the center of the glass door, there is an electronic display screen, which displays key information such as the temperature and humidity inside the refrigerator, so that users can monitor and adjust at any time.

Below the display screen is a row of neatly arranged buttons and control knobs, which are carefully designed to be simple and clear, and can be easily operated even in low light conditions. These buttons and knobs correspond to different functions of the refrigerator, such as refrigeration, freezing, defrosting, etc. Users can precisely control the internal environment of the refrigerator with just a light press or a turn.

Each of the four corners of the refrigerator is equipped with a sturdy support foot, which not only stabilizes the refrigerator, but also effectively prevents the moisture on the ground from corroding the bottom of the refrigerator. The bottom of the support foot is also cleverly designed with an anti-slip pad to ensure the stability and safety of the refrigerator even on uneven ground.

"Okay, put them all in. These things should be enough for us to eat for a long time. It's a wonderful thing to be able to eat so much, family." A soldier confirmed it finally, a satisfied smile on his face.

"It's really good."

Bai Ye stood aside, watching all this silently. His heart was filled with gratitude and comfort. He knew that these soldiers had put in so much effort and sweat for the future of the shelter. Every bit of their efforts was a deep love for this homeland and a beautiful vision of future life.

"Thank you for your hard work." Bai Ye said softly. Although his voice was not loud, it was full of strength and warmth. "With these barbecues as reserves, we don't have to worry about food shortages. Next, we have to continue working hard and fight for our homeland."

The soldiers nodded in agreement after hearing this, with a determined light flashing in their eyes, as if they had seen a home full of hope and prosperity in the future.

In the following days, the soldiers continued to be busy. They not only strengthened the defense of the shelter, but also continued to explore the surrounding areas to find more food and resources. At the same time, they also learned to use storage facilities such as refrigerators more efficiently to ensure that every piece of food can be properly preserved and used.

As time went by, the supplies in the shelter gradually became more abundant. The soldiers' living conditions also improved significantly. They no longer worried about food shortages or safety issues. They began to have more time and energy to focus on their own growth and development, and to plan their future lives and dreams.

Bai Ye watched all these changes with great emotion and pride. He knew that all these were the result of the joint efforts of the soldiers, and they created miracles with their sweat and wisdom. He believed that in the days to come, as long as they continued to unite as one and work together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and challenges and rebuild a better and more prosperous home.

However, Bai Ye also knows that the road ahead is not smooth. In this world full of unknowns and dangers, they still need to face more challenges and tests. But he believes that as long as they maintain their faith and courage, they will be able to move forward bravely and be invincible.

Therefore, at night in the shelter, Bai Ye often sat around the campfire with the soldiers to share stories and dreams. They talked about past experiences and future hopes; they shared each other's happiness and sorrow; they encouraged and supported each other to move forward together in this journey full of challenges and opportunities.
