This time, Yun Xiaoxiao had a truly meaningful birthday celebration.
On a freezing snowy day, in the dark of night.
The temperature was cold, but hearts were warm.
After that day, the weather became even worse.
The whole world was covered in snow, turning into a vast white expanse.
Life in Yun City, thanks to Yun Xiaoxiao's advance preparations, continued in an orderly fashion.
Except for the cold when going outside, everything else seemed normal.
But other places were different.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were in dire straits.
The freezing weather, scarce resources, and shortage of medicine made every second and minute extremely difficult to endure.
Some people hid in their homes, used up their last firewood, and froze to death.
Some people, faced with a snow-covered world, were helpless, couldn't find food, and starved to death.
Some people who initially only had a small cold, but without proper medicine, their condition worsened into pneumonia or even worse.
In the end, they could only die tragically.
Scene after scene of despair played out in different regions.
People were dying almost every day.
Due to resource shortages, conflicts over supplies between different groups and bases gradually began.
A new round of silent warfare quietly started.
During this time, Yun Xiaoxiao and her people kept their promise, delivering supplies and evolution fluid to bases that needed them.
Because some places were far away, a single delivery could take several days round trip.
And there were many places that needed supplies.
So, Yun Xiaoxiao formed many small teams.
Of course, each team had powerful individuals in charge.
This reduced the occurrence of unexpected situations.
Yun Xiaoxiao also gave these team members many generous rewards.
Such as evolution fluid suitable for improving their abilities, or points for purchasing supplies.
So, everyone was very willing to make deliveries.
One day.
While Yun Xiaoxiao was "sparring" with Lu Chen, Tao Mi'er came running over.
"Young Base Leader, the radio station staff just received a message from a place called Blue Sea Orphanage requesting help.
They asked me to check if you want to respond?"
Tao Mi'er waited until Yun Xiaoxiao and Lu Chen finished their match before speaking.
Hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao paused.
Blue Sea Orphanage?
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
She remembered!
It was the place she had encountered when collecting supplies at the dock earlier.
At that time, she had left them a small radio.
She told them to contact Yun City if they needed help.
"What did they say?" she asked.
Tao Mi'er replied: "They said someone is seriously ill and needs urgent medical treatment."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao immediately headed toward the hospital.
Since she had promised to help before, she couldn't go back on her word.
So, she went to find Ye Shuyuan and asked her to bring two other doctors along.
Nie Yizhou, Xiao Feng, and Ling Jing had all gone to deliver supplies.
Lu Chen and Mu Yang had their own previously arranged tasks, so Yun Xiaoxiao went with Zheng Yuner, taking Ye Shuyuan and the others with them.
Due to the snowy weather, the helicopter had to fly very low.
However, this helicopter had been modified by Mu Yang.
Its shell had an automatic heating function that melted the ice and snow covering it, so it wouldn't affect normal flight.
By the next afternoon, they finally arrived at Blue Sea Orphanage, located on a seaside hillside.
When they saw Yun Xiaoxiao and her group appear, the Mother Superior and others looked on in disbelief.
Originally, they had only tried sending the message with hope but didn't expect Yun City to actually send anyone.
Although Yun Xiaoxiao had left them with an impression of being very capable, with maturity beyond her years.
But she was still very young.
Moreover, they had only met once as strangers.
Plus, Yun City was so far away from them.
But unexpectedly, Yun Xiaoxiao really came with help.
This left them both surprised and deeply moved.
"Mother Superior, who is sick?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked.
The Mother Superior finally came to her senses and hurriedly answered, "All the younger children in the orphanage are sick."
As she spoke, her brows were tightly knitted.
Her tone carried worry and self-blame.
"It's all my fault for not taking it seriously at first, thinking it was just a common cold when only Yi Nuo was coughing.
He didn't have a fever or runny nose, so I thought he just had some internal heat and only tried to cool him down.
But unexpectedly, his cough got worse and worse.
Then he started running a high fever.
At the same time, other children started coughing and developing fevers too.
The situation spiraled out of control.
Yesterday, Yi Nuo became delirious and fainted several times, burning up with fever.
The fever medicine we gave him didn't work.
We don't have any doctors here and didn't know who else to turn to, so we could only think of asking for your help."
As she spoke, the Mother Superior's eyes turned red.
It was clear that she was genuinely worried about the children.
At the same time, she was continuously blaming herself.
"Can you take us to see them first?" Ye Shuyuan asked calmly.
She naturally had a cold and detached air about her.
Of course, this demeanor also made her appear more composed.
"And you are?" Mother Superior looked at Ye Shuyuan questioningly.
Yun Xiaoxiao introduced her, "This is Dr. Ye."
Upon hearing the word "doctor," the Mother Superior and Tang Lu behind her lit up.
"That's wonderful! Dr. Ye, please help our children!"
The Mother Superior said excitedly.
Ye Shuyuan nodded, "Let's assess the situation first, we'll do our best."
"Yes, yes, please come in."
They quickly cleared the way.
Ye Shuyuan and the other two doctors hurried inside with their medical kits.
However, Yun Xiaoxiao was stopped.
The Mother Superior said with concern, "Xiaoxiao, you're young, and this illness only seems to be spreading among children. It's better if you don't go in, it wouldn't be good if you got infected."
"...Actually, I'm very healthy."
With spirit spring water and evolution fluid, her constitution wasn't comparable to ordinary children.
But the Mother Superior didn't know this, she just thought it would be dangerous for Yun Xiaoxiao to go inside.
To avoid worrying them, Yun Xiaoxiao agreed to stay outside.
While waiting and feeling bored, she heard a huge sound from not far away.
"Sister Yuner, wait here, I'll go check it out and come right back."
"Let me come with you," Zheng Yuner said worriedly.
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head, "It's fine, I'm just bored. I'll just take a look and come right back."
The next morning.
Just as Mu Yang arrived at the office building, someone came running frantically, almost bumping into him.
"Why such a panic?" He frowned at the person.
Seeing it was him, the person anxiously said, "Something terrible has happened, Brother Yang, the Young Base Leader has disappeared!"
