Ren Wangwang: "But Professor Huo wants 500 liters of blue oil. Does he know what 500 liters means?"
Five hundred liters...
Just like the great white shark scene that Qiao Xuejun witnessed a few days ago, with so many mutated creatures, they could only extract about two hundred liters of blue oil in the end.
The 100,000 catties of grain that Qiao Xuejun proposed at the time could only be exchanged for 100 liters of blue oil. 100,000 catties of grain was enough for their entire base to eat for half a year.
The vitamins that Professor Huo gave were only enough for the thirty or so people in the Mountain Leopard Brigade to eat for a year. The other survivors in the base didn't have any, so they were only provided to the soldiers.
The soldier said, "It would be good enough if we can guarantee a stable supply of vitamins for a year."
Five hundred liters of blue oil is indeed a lot, and it would take them three months to collect it. But it can be exchanged for a year's worth of vitamins, so it's worth considering.
Once their soldiers' combat capabilities are improved, they will be able to protect the safety of the base and other survivors.
What he said was also what Zhao Xian had to consider. As the manager of the first base, he had to weigh the pros and cons and consider improving the overall survival rate of the base. He couldn't just act based on his personal likes and dislikes.
Zhao Xian stood at the bow of the boat, looking up at the Keken Mountain in the distance.
The professor was hiding something and was dissatisfied with him. But they had just met for the first time. What was he dissatisfied with? What made him so dissatisfied?
He is a talented person.
"Mountain monkey." Zhao Xian called out.
"Here!" Shanhou answered standing at attention. He was a scout and was quick in action, so he was codenamed Shanhou.
"Continue to stay at the scientific research mountain and investigate Professor Huo. Focus on observing who he contacts, his movements, and the types of resources he collects. Make a portrait analysis."
"Got it, I will complete the task!"
"Mountain Eagle."
Ren Wangwang stood at attention: “Here!”
Zhao Xian took the pistol, ejected the empty magazine, and replaced it with a new one with a click: "Check the equipment, confirm the food and water quota, replenish the ammunition, and then go find the nest of those miscellaneous fish."
Ren Wangwang: “Yes!”
He was a little excited. They had received news from the base before, saying that the mutant creatures had attacked the base again while they were away, in groups just like before, in an organized and premeditated manner, as if they had done it on purpose.
There is definitely something wrong. We still need to check it out! Find out what is going on with these mutant creatures.
If we really find their lair, we can get a large amount of blue oil back home.

Qiao Xuejun rested for another two days at the First Base. Feeling much better, he prepared to return to the shelter.
Zhao Xian has been very busy these days. It is said that the mutant creatures outside are behaving abnormally, so they are investigating.
When Qiao Xuejun was about to leave, he finally came back.
Qiao Xuejun had originally planned to look for him, and when she saw him come back, she went straight to wait outside the meeting room.
She was standing outside the conference room, unable to hear or see what was going on inside the office. She still had to talk to Zhao Xian about her plan to send the cabbages. After all, it was several thousand kilograms, and he had to bring people to move it.
She also planned to grow some other crops containing vitamins, but she didn’t have enough seeds, so she had to discuss it with Zhao Xian. Doesn’t he have a seed bank?
If she is given another 100 liters of blue oil, she will be able to grow it.
·
Inside the office, every soldier from top to bottom had a serious look on their faces.
They checked the vitamin deficiency and found that the situation was more serious than they had imagined. Among the thirty-six soldiers, five had developed night blindness.
Zhao Yun said: "It was only when Teacher Qiao reminded me that I realized that I also had night blindness."
The soldiers all looked serious.
The theme of this meeting is about survival and the task of collecting blue oil.
"We must get the vitamins from Professor Huo."
No matter what, they must fight for the vitamins in Professor Huo's hands.
A soldier in charge of collecting intelligence said, "The Third Base is coming. We must buy the vitamins that Professor Huo can produce before he trades with them."
The situation during this period has been very clear. They know that the bases in other war zones have moved to the southwestern mountainous provinces, and many bases have settled in neighboring provinces. The original third base also plans to come to Gongzhou.
One soldier analyzed: "The production capacity is limited. Professor Huo and his team can only produce so many vitamins. If Professor Huo cooperates with the Third Base, then our chances will be slim."
The lack of a stable supply of vitamins is a very serious problem. The polar night is approaching, and without the ability to fight at night, it will be impossible to fight against mutated creatures.
Zhao Xian asked: "Shanyan, can you confirm the arrival time of the third base?"
Shanyan, the soldier in charge of intelligence gathering, replied: "According to various intelligence reports, they are expected to arrive in about ten days."
"Does that mean we must collect the amount Professor Huo wants within ten days?"
Ren Wangwang frowned and said, "But Professor Huo wants 500 liters! Not 5 liters, not 50 liters, but 500 liters!"
This is a very large number, how is it possible in ten days?
Even with the crazy hunting these days, day and night, it is impossible to meet Professor Huo's demand for 500 liters of blue oil.
"Ten days is impossible, but we can try to get as much as possible. We actually have more than the Third Base. I don't believe that we don't have 500 liters of blue oil. The Third Base can give it to us."
At least we have to collect enough blue oil before the third base arrives so that we can discuss the deal with Professor Huo again.
"Yes, you can't expect it to suddenly fall from the sky."
Since Professor Huo wanted it, they could only work hard to collect it. If they couldn't collect that much, they could think of other ways. They couldn't just not try to collect it at all.

Qiao Xuejun waited for a long time. After more than half an hour, there was some movement in the conference room.
