They first used some partitions to separate the animals, and then assigned a carpenter to build cages for them one by one.
While they were dealing with the animals, Qiao Xuejun heard another report in her mind: "Congratulations to the host, the base has expanded by 92 new survivors! There are only 2722 people left to reach the next level of 5,000 people reward! Come on, host! Work hard to expand the base and build a city of 10,000 people!"
When she heard the broadcast, Qiao Xuejun knew that the First Base must have accommodated the crew of the Great White Shark and they had successfully moved into the First Base, so her system received a settlement broadcast.
The next level of reward is five thousand people.
But now there may be less than 5,000 people in the entire Gongzhou.
In addition to Hongmei Mountain, there are some survivors scattered in other places. Most of them will have a chance to break through five thousand only if they come to the First Base.
Now humans have become a scarce resource.
Afterwards, people from the First Base quickly arrived, pushing a cart with fish meal and dried fish meat, which were rations for carnivores.
After the people from the first base were sent over, they left quickly.
In the shelter, the four of them were building animal cages while simultaneously sharing the latest news.
Kuang Qianli: "The First Base said that there will be heavy rains in the near future, so try to stay out as little as possible."
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "I heard about it."
There are experts who specialize in measuring weather at the First Base, so Zhao Xian compressed the journey to rescue Professor An very quickly, and had very little time to rest, because he was worried about encountering the predicted rainstorm at sea.
“Boom!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud thunder sounded in the sky.
Kuang Qianli was a little surprised: "It's starting now?"
Before they could say two words, the sound of raindrops hit the roof of the shelter. The building of the shelter was sturdy enough that only the vague sound of rain could be heard.
Qiao Xuejun was also startled. She went to the door of the shelter, opened the observation window on the shelter door, and looked out through the transparent window.
Rainwater fell on the door and slid down the glass windows.
Through the window, the rain outside was dripping on the ground, making the soil wet.
It is not surprising that it rains in the Gongzhou area. Moreover, it has been a common occurrence since the volcanic eruption, almost raining every two days. However, it is only light rain during this period, which comes and goes quickly and is intermittent, so it is not a big deal.
But today's rain seems to be coming with great force.
Qiao Xuejun only stood in front of the observation window for two minutes before he watched the rain suddenly get heavier, hitting the door of the shelter and washing the observation window.
"It's raining so hard," Wang Juanfeng also stood nearby and sighed, "Luckily you guys came back quickly, otherwise even if people could stand the rain, animals probably wouldn't be able to."
Qiao Xuejun nodded.
Fortunately, they didn't rest halfway. Qiao Xuejun thought, if they had rested for a day or half a day, they would have encountered the rain at sea. Zhao Xian was right not to let them rest before.
“Boom!”
The blue lightning in the distant sky cut through the night and tore through the clouds.
She stood in front of the window for a while. The rain showed no sign of stopping. Instead, it got heavier and heavier, with lightning and thunder.
It was indeed a rainstorm.
Qiao Xuejun stopped looking and said, "Let's go back and build the cage."
They were quick and skillful, using the stored wooden boards and branches to build cages for the animals according to their species. Although simple, the cages had all the necessary functional areas marked out.
Zhao Linlin already had some experience in building chicken coops and rabbit coops, so this time it went much more smoothly.
Vegetarian animals now eat cooked potatoes, corn kernels, corn stalks, and potato leaves.
Those who eat meat eat the fish meat meal of mutant creatures, which Zhao Xian and his men delivered in a cart. It is enough for a month.
It took them three days to complete the animal cages, and the heavy rain outside continued for three days.
No one went out during these three days, including Wang Juanfeng, who went out regularly to accompany the patrol team.
Wang Juanfeng: "I received a message from Group 2 saying that patrols have been suspended. There must be a lot of mutant creatures running rampant outside again."
It was as if we had returned to the initial rainstorm period. The torrential rain was about to submerge everything. The sky had not been bright for three days and was plunged into complete darkness. The earth was swallowed by chaos and floods. The scene of doomsday disasters was once again materialized.
"Host, due to the terrible rainstorm, the survivors in your base are in low spirits and cannot see hope and the future. Production efficiency will be reduced by 10%, including military rations production, blue oil production, market transactions, etc. will be affected. Please pay attention to this, host."
"Warm reminder, if the mood is depressed for more than a certain period of time, the survivors will lose their will to survive and die, and the number of people in the base will decrease."
When Qiao Xuejun heard the new report from the system, she felt a little heavy-hearted.
This problem is very realistic. It is not enough for people to simply live. If they don't see any hope, it is not uncommon for them to choose to die.
This happened during the initial heat wave.
Qiao Xuejun asked: "We need to improve the mood of the survivors? Besides visiting the zoo, are there any other ways?"
There are no zoos built now, and the cages in the shelters are very simple. There are no conditions for public exhibition, and the animals have not yet fully adapted, so they need a period of recovery.
The system said: "All forms of spiritual entertainment are fine, such as reading books, comics, watching movies, listening to music, watching dances, eating delicious food, and playing games... All forms of entertainment can provide emotional value."
Before Qiao Xuejun could come up with a suitable solution, the rain stopped on the fourth day.
Then came the system's new report: "The sky cleared after the rain, and the air was filled with the fragrance of the earth. The survivors of the base became cheerful again and began to go out to collect supplies. The depressed state has disappeared."
