"Notice, the First Base Zoo is officially open. No additional trading materials are required, it is a public welfare event! Survivors who want to visit please sign up in the duty room first!"
A broadcast notification sounded in the first base, repeated three times.
In the tailor's studio, Tailor Li rubbed his sore shoulders and said, "Zoo? Who is causing trouble and talking nonsense in the broadcasting room?"
One of her female apprentices looked up at her, but she didn't stop cutting the cloth, still smoothly and neatly: "Teacher, don't you know? Didn't the Lord and Teacher Qiao bring back Professor An? Those animals that Professor An raised!"
Tailor Li shook his head and smiled. "Professor An is Professor An. I heard that Professor An is an expert in biology, but that is completely different from raising animals! Don't believe everything you hear. Do you think biology is about raising animals?"
"Still exhibiting Mr. Krabs and Squidward?"
How could there be animals? Zoos were only in times of peace and prosperity. The animals we can see now are mutant creatures from the ocean. Of course, they can now go ashore.
Tailor Li thought that if a child was born now, he probably wouldn’t know that there were so many animals in the world.
Cats and dogs, deer and lambs, tigers and lions, none of them exist.
However, more than a year has passed, and there are more than 2,000 people in the base, but no one has given birth. Maybe in a few years when things are more stable, there will be, but it is impossible now. The adults don’t have enough food and clothes, let alone having children.
Thinking of this, Tailor Li couldn't help but become pessimistic.
With only a reduction in numbers and no increase in numbers, humans will eventually become extinct. Just like the animals in the past, they will be unable to reproduce and die from natural disasters.
That is the fate of animals and also the fate of mankind.
Perhaps, dying early or late is death anyway, so what's the point of living and suffering like this?
The female apprentice said, "Teacher, don't you think about it? Who among us would dare to go to the broadcasting room and talk nonsense? Don't you want to die?"
Lord Zhao is not the kind of manager who acts casually. Are you not afraid of death if you dare to mess around under his nose? At the beginning, there were also people who made trouble in the base, stealing and robbing.
Lord Zhao was shot without saying a word, and he even had people carry the bloody body of the deceased to publicize what he had done and how he died, to warn everyone not to do anything rash.
Lord Zhao shoots very quickly, so the First Base is so safe now.
Otherwise, the current shortage of cotton-padded clothes alone would be enough to make some people want to steal others’ clothes. But this is not happening now.
Tailor Li was stunned. That’s true.
If the broadcast was indeed a notification from the First Base, then she would believe it unconditionally. Not to mention the existence of animals, even if they said they had captured a snow girl and put her on display, she would believe it.
Tailor Li hesitated and said, "Then let's go and take a look?"
Anyway, I'm promoting it. I've been working in the tailoring room for a few days without a day off. But if you ask me how much I've done, it doesn't seem like much.
It's not that the lord forces them to work every day, but mainly because they have nowhere to go if they don't work. The base is under martial law and it's cold outside.
The female apprentice nodded and cut the cloth, feeling a little bored: "I want to go and have a look, anywhere is fine, I really can't stand sitting here every day."
Another female apprentice said, "Actually, we are all pretty good. Think about the people working in the blue oil refining and biogas digesters."
As soon as these two words came out, the expressions of the others became visibly lively.
The stench in the blue oil refining production room is really pungent... Sometimes when I pass by those places and get a little closer, I can smell the intoxicating scent, as if my soul has swam eight times back and forth in a cesspool.
The female apprentice looked in awe: "I don't know how those warriors endured it."
Most people simply can’t stand it.
Without thinking any more, Tailor Li cleared his throat and said, "Then let's go sign up. Just think of it as going out for a walk. It doesn't matter if they are exhibiting SpongeBob SquarePants or Patrick Star. Let's go for a walk."
I haven’t been feeling very productive at work lately.
I guess it's just stuffy. Maybe it would be better if I could get some fresh air.
·
On the day the zoo opened, the temperature rose a little, just around -10℃. Even Professor An got the lord's consent and came to the zoo.
Qiao Xuejun is only responsible for taking care of the animals, while Zhao Xian is responsible for personnel control.
This day was very important. Qiao Xuejun stayed beside the cage in the zoo and observed everyone's reactions.
When the animals came ashore that day, it was dark and almost only the soldiers saw them.
Everyone was wearing masks, and Qiao Xuejun could vaguely hear some vague discussions: "What is it? The nearest animals - cod and seals?"
"Yeah, I've cut a lot recently."
Qiao Xuejun thought silently in her heart, these must be the staff of the blue oil refining plant, cutting up fish carcasses is their daily routine.
Crabs, clams and the like have not been active recently, and have been replaced by various mutated icefish, cod, and seals.
“I don’t know what I’ll see.”
"Please don't let it be cod. It makes me sick just by looking at it."
The discussion was vague, everyone was inexplicably excited and had inexplicable doubts. They just felt that this was incredible.
Looking at the people queuing up at the zoo entrance, Qiao Xuejun happened to see Tailor Li, so she walked over and greeted her: "Teacher Li."
Although they were all wearing masks, Qiao Xuejun still recognized her by the earmuffs on her ears.
Tailor Li nodded back and held her hand affectionately: "We are here to view the exhibition."
Qiao Xuejun looked at the long line in front of the door and said, "There are quite a lot of people."
