5:00 AM.

The second zone is fully thawed.

Global temperatures dropped again, with the outside temperature reaching -50°C.

The temperature in Pure Land Zone 1 (core area) remains constant.

The temperature in Pure Land Zone 2 is 5°.

For residents who have experienced temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero, the temperature returning to above zero is enough to make them feel warm, not to mention that electricity is no longer a problem.

The former Third Hospital was reclassified as the Pure Land First Hospital. Chu Han temporarily served as the dean, Dr. Liu concurrently served as the deputy dean, Nurse Yang as the head nurse, and Gu Qianqian as the head nurse team leader and logistics director. More than 100 medical staff, 60 nursing assistants, and 30 logistics personnel were recruited from the assessment area to be responsible for the subsequent medical work.

Pregnant women and military dependents sent from Hongdu Mountain were quickly admitted to the hospital. In addition, pregnant women and seriously ill residents in the assessment community were also admitted to the hospital.

Whether it is the military families or the recruited medical workers, they are all sincerely happy.

The former finally saw hope, and the latter cherished this job opportunity immensely.

Shi Man and his three companions spent the entire night mapping and finally decided on the locations of the two research institutes and laboratories. Ge Hongyu, Hong Tao and Xiao Xiao rushed over without stopping after receiving the news.

After seeing the high-tech instruments in the laboratory, the three were so excited that they couldn't express it in words.

That look was truly like that of a wolf or a tiger.

At this moment, everyone is gathered in Hong Tao's Biopharmaceutical Research Institute.

The mutated wolves, mutated snake eggs, and mutated ice worms were all placed in the specimen area. At this moment, Hong Tao and Ge Hongyu were staring at the mutated ice worms in the glass bottles, marveling at them.

"They've truly evolved. Their heat resistance has improved significantly. Even with temperatures above 5°C in Zone 2, these ice worms haven't self-dissolved at all, and they're still incredibly active."

Hong Tao rubbed his hands and couldn't wait to start research.

The ten researchers who came from Hongdu Mountain also had shining eyes.

Shi Man was a little surprised when she saw Xiao Xiao and Ge Hongyu had also changed into lab coats: "Aren't you going to your own lab?"

Ge Hongyu smiled and said, "My special food supply and Lao Hong's research have some overlaps, so we can work on them together in the early stages."

Xiao Xiao also nodded: "I want to try to see if the biological enzymes of these alienated animals can be used to make new materials. I can also help with the early research."

Shi Man nodded. Professional matters should be done by professionals, and she would not interfere.

but……

The three of them still looked at her expectantly: "We're short of manpower and experimental samples..."

Shi Man: "..."

She didn't say much and just made an OK gesture.

Coming out of the research institute, Shi Man glanced at Taishan and Song Yan. She said to the former, "There's a public security combat training base in Area 2. That will be the military base in the future. Hurry up on the transfer of personnel."

Taishan grinned and said, "The new batch of transfer personnel should arrive at noon. Sparrow and Iron Rat have already left."

Shi Man said yes and asked, "Aren't there any experts in weapons manufacturing over in Hongdu Mountain?"

Although the ten researchers who came this time were powerful, they were not considered Fire Humans, so Shi Man couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Tai Shan sighed, "Yes, there are, but some military experts are placed in the underground shelter. If they leave, it will attract attention over there, so they can only be arranged at the back."

Shi Man frowned.

Currently, the military needs to transfer nearly 5,000 people in total, and the carrying capacity is not enough if only two armored buses are used.

Moreover, there are fewer and fewer people at the military headquarters, and the underground shelter will definitely attract attention. It would be best to transfer most people at once.
