Qiao Xuejun felt that Zhao Xian was really amazing. It was not the first time he saw Zhao Xian shoot, but this time was the closest distance.
Especially when Zhao Xian fired at her and Professor An, using the force of the artillery fire to push them ashore, that sense of power went straight to people's hearts.
"Host," the system reminded, "the villain is a professional. This is all trained. Don't be too surprised. After all, he is the villain of the whole book, so he must be capable."
Qiao Xuejun looked at the man sitting by the campfire, his face coated with a layer of warm firelight, and couldn't help asking: "How on earth does he look like a villain?"
System: "He is cruel, cold-blooded, and stubborn."
Qiao Xuejun: "It's slander. I don't think he's cold-blooded, nor do I think he's stubborn."
Only his enemies will think he is cruel and cold-blooded.
The system was also a little hesitant: "But, the plot is like this."
Qiao Xuejun calmly pointed out: "I know. But the so-called plot. Isn't it written by the winner of this book? Shen Xingtang, Huo Antu, they think Zhao Xian is cruel, cold-blooded, and stubborn. That's because Zhao Xian disagrees with their human experiments and insists on killing them for this."
"But this itself is wrong, and there is nothing wrong with his persistence."
System: "Is there a possibility that Huo Antu and Shen Xingtang's method can really save the future of mankind?"
Qiao Xuejun said firmly: "Impossible."
"If that can save the future of mankind, then what about Professor An who sticks to the zoo? What about Zhao Yun who studies sonar expulsion equipment? What about the many patrols on Hongmei Mountain and the many survivors who work diligently to collect supplies in the trading market to survive?"
"You may not have been to school." Qiao Xuejun said, "My books tell me that history is created by the people. And Huo Antu's human experiments are killing people."
The system stuttered: "But host, this is no longer your world. The history is completely different. This is a federal country."
Qiao Xuejun was startled, then looked away and looked towards the fire.
She suddenly thought: "I wonder if my teacher is still healthy. My seniors are doing well in their projects."
This was the first time the system heard Qiao Xuejun mention the people from her original world, and it wanted to comfort her: "Perhaps after civilization is rebuilt and the mission is completed, you can return to your original world."
"Maybe?" Qiao Xuejun laughed, "... Never mind, you are also unreliable. By the way, do you have any way to calm these animals down?"
After this fierce battle, although the animals seemed fine, they were all a little stressed.
Qiao Xuejun: "For example, give them some warmth and happiness."
System: "Host, that is a function of the favorability system. However, the animals are not dead yet, so the impact is not great. It is recommended to rest for one more day for the animals to recover. If you go out now and do it again, the situation will be bad. You must protect them, otherwise the reward will be taken back."
Qiao Xuejun frowned and thought: "Take a day off?"
They are pursuing a safe and fast path. If they take a day off, they will face another day of risk. After all, there are only ten of them, plus Professor An, there are 11 of them, and any delay could lead to something unexpected.
But the risk is too great for the animals to continue adrift at sea.
Zhao Yun said, "I have already sent a signal back to the base, asking them to pick us up by boat."
Qiao Xuejun asked the system: "If there is a boat, the animals will be much safer. We can set off."
System: "That's true. But the ship won't come that fast. I still suggest you take a day off."
Long-distance communication with a radio station requires a bit of luck, and the message transmission may not be in place. Professor An also tried many times before he succeeded.
Qiao Xuejun looked at the animals again and said to Zhao Xian, "Lord, the animals are not in a stable state. Can they rest for one more day?"
Upon hearing this, Professor An looked at Qiao Xuejun with some emotion in his eyes.
These animals were originally brought here under his coercion. Zhao Xian had already given him a positive response, only raising people, not animals. Now it would be better for the animals to rest for a day, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he could only pray in his heart.
I didn’t expect Qiao Xuejun to notice it.
Zhao Xian: "The original plan was to rest for a while before setting off. We will reach Hongmei Mountain in less than two days."
He looked at Qiao Xuejun: "Are you sure you need to rest?"
Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "Animals need it. A day of rest will make them more stable. The specific schedule is up to you."
If there is no risk, then you can take a rest. If the risk is high, it still depends on Zhao Xian's arrangements. After all, it is not okay to put people in danger for the safety of animals.
It is a good thing to save the animals without delay.
However, she was only responsible for proposing requirements, and the decision-making was still made by Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian looked at the sky and said, "The rest time is three hours. It can't be too long. We have to go back before the next rainstorm."
System: "Host, you see, the villain will not agree."
Three hours is not enough for the animals to rest.
Qiao Xuejun remembered what the system said about Zhao Xian in the book, that he was cruel, cold-blooded and stubborn. She didn't like this statement and frowned: "As a manager, his decision is right, isn't it? If we encounter a storm at sea, not only the animals, but we will all be buried with them. Isn't this cold-blooded?"
From Qiao Xuejun's perspective, animals need to be considered. But from Zhao Xian's perspective, he needs to be responsible for getting everyone back to the base safely, including Qiao Xuejun.
Animals are disposable.
Seeing that he could only rest for three hours, Qiao Xuejun stopped talking, lowered her head, and frowned. Zhao Xian frowned. Was she disappointed? Was she angry?
Zhao Xian picked up the small water bottle burning on the campfire and poured the boiling water into the military kettle. Wisps of white hot steam came out of the mouth of the kettle.
He handed the kettle to Qiao Xuejun: "Drink something hot."
They had enough drinking water when they set out, but after such a long time, the water in the kettle had already frozen through, almost turning into ice cubes, no matter how strong the insulation function of the kettle was. They could only pour it out and heat it up when conditions allowed, and then drink it when it was warm.
Qiao Xuejun's own kettle was still warming by the fire, but it hadn't gotten hot yet.
She took it: "Thank you, Lord."
She used the lid of her kettle to pour out half a cup of hot water, held it in her palm, and returned the kettle to Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian took the kettle.
He was able to accept my kindness and didn't seem too angry.
Qiao Xuejun sipped the hot water and said to the system in her mind, "Look, Zhao Xian is a good person. He's very enthusiastic."
What cold-blooded, that's complete nonsense.
Just when Qiao Xuejun was enjoying the warmth and was about to close her eyes and rest, she suddenly heard Zhao Xian beside her suddenly stand up, take out a rifle from his back and hold it between his arms.
Qiao Xuejun looked up.
Zhao Xian's expression was serious. He looked at the sea and frowned, "Be on guard."
Qiao Xuejun followed his gaze and looked towards the sea. There was something on the sea coming towards them. Was it... a big ship?
