Qiao Xuejun looked at the medicine, and the slightly reflective plastic seal on the outside of the medicine box: "Unopened?"
Doctor Zheng: “Yes.”
Qiao Xuejun: "Are there no opened bottles? Wouldn't it be a bit wasteful for me to take a whole one?"
Her foot was very sore yesterday, but it was also because she had been running down the mountain for such a long time. After a good night's sleep today, she felt much better.
It should be better soon. I'm afraid I won't need this whole bottle of medicine.
Qiao Xuejun knew that military doctor Zheng always had anti-inflammatory and analgesic medicines like this, and the soldiers would apply some when they were injured while performing their missions.
I think it will be fine after two days of application.
Zhao Xian said: "Diclofenac? I have it."
Doctor Zheng was surprised. He looked at Qiao Xuejun and raised the medicine in his hand again: "Don't you want this?"
Qiao Xuejun: "...What's wrong with saving it?"
Doctor Zheng's voice was really loud. Qiao Xuejun could not hear clearly and swallowed her words. She could only hear half of what was said, and her voice was very low. But she heard Doctor Zheng's words clearly.
When Doctor Zheng heard Qiao Xuejun's answer, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, that's fine. That's good."
Doctor Zheng smiled and looked at Zhao Xian: "Then I'll trouble you, Lord."
After talking about the medicine, Doctor Zheng asked the same question again: "Are you going out?"
Qiao Xuejun nodded and was about to say that she would go to the back hill to see the experimental fields, but was interrupted by Zhao Xian: "Just walk in the hall."
Qiao Xuejun glanced at Zhao Xian. She hesitated a little when she heard Zhao Xian say the hall.
But weren't they going to the back mountain? But Zhao Xian must have had his reasons for interrupting her, and Qiao Xuejun remained silent tacitly.
Doctor Zheng nodded and said, "Yes. You can walk around the base, but you can't just wander around outside. You are already mobility-impaired, and if you get hurt again, it will be a big deal."
Zhao Xian nodded calmly: "I know."
Doctor Zheng was very confident that Zhao Xian would follow the doctor's advice and obey orders, so he left after he finished speaking.
Qiao Xuejun looked at the receding figure of Doctor Zheng and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Zheng doesn't know? Should we sneak out?"
Zhao Xian also followed her and whispered: "Yeah. If you don't follow the doctor's advice, you will be scolded by Lao Zheng."
Qiao Xuejun nodded in understanding: "Then let's go quickly."
It takes about ten minutes to get from the entrance of the base to the experimental field on the back mountain. Qiao Xuejun has a limp, so he has to walk slower.
After half a day of moving just a little distance, Zhao Xian didn't say anything, but Qiao Xuejun became impatient: "It's better for people to have two legs."
Zhao Xian laughed: "I'll hug you."
Without waiting for Qiao Xuejun to agree, Zhao Xian went straight to the rescue and picked her up horizontally.
Qiao Xuejun held on firmly and did not refuse.
That is indeed faster.
After walking for five minutes, Qiao Xuejun said, "Lord, take a break."
She is still very heavy.
Zhao Xian understood what she meant and deliberately lifted her up to weigh her: "It's not heavy. It will be there soon."
Qiao Xuejun didn't mention it again, and instead said, "Didn't you say that Meng Ka and Yuan Zhiyi from Haibao would come to see me today? When did they come? Why didn't I see them?"
Zhao Xian: "They are afraid of me. They are hesitating."
Qiao Xuejun raised her eyes: "Afraid of you? What did you do?"
Zhao Xian: "Due to the lantern fish attack, many of the base's external defenses, including patrol booths and iron fences, have been damaged to a certain extent."
Qiao Xuejun nodded.
For example, part of the iron net in the experimental field was dismantled by lantern fish.
Zhao Xian: "The base's steel and building materials have been almost used up. I plan to build an ironworks on Mute Mountain."
Qiao Xuejun: "Is there an iron ore?"
Zhao Xian: "No mining. Form a city salvage team to salvage steel parts from city ruins and reprocess them."
This is indeed easier to implement.
But aren’t we talking about Sea Fort? Why are we talking about iron smelting?
Qiao Xuejun thought of something and speculated, "Are you interested in Haibao's technology?"
Zhao Xian looked down at her and said, "Yes. They have the technology and equipment to produce steel materials of similar quality to military building materials."
Qiao Xuejun guessed it.
After all, even if the ironworks that Zhao Xian mentioned was successfully built, the ironmaking technology would be very basic, and it could probably make some wrought iron blocks, but not steel.
It is definitely incomparable with the materials used now.
To maintain the current level, we can only find a sea fort.
Zhao Xian: "I found Haibao and proposed a deal, exchanging bullets for their steel."
This is a win-win deal, now that the mutants are stronger, the battles are more frequent, and bullets are just as important as defensive steel.
Zhao Xian: “They refused.”
Qiao Xuejun was surprised: "Rejected?"
Zhao Xian: "If soft tactics don't work, we can only use hard tactics."
Qiao Xuejun's fingers subconsciously curled up. Hard? Were they going to fight?
If others are unwilling to trade, you want to snatch them away by force. This sounds too arrogant and unreasonable, but if it happens to Zhao Xian, it is something he can do.
At the beginning, he wanted to forcibly seize Shen Xingtang’s seventh base for the same reason - to integrate resources and concentrate strength.
But the sea fort is not the original 7th base, so I’m afraid it won’t be smooth sailing.
They were almost there, and Qiao Xuejun looked towards the direction of her experimental field.
When I looked up, I was stunned. What was that?
Outside the iron fence of the experimental field, a tall white skeleton stood out.
From the overall shape of the skeleton, it can be seen that it is a giant marine fish. There is also a bone protruding from the top of the head.
This is the skeleton of a lantern fish.
Qiao Xuejun took a look, was stunned, turned back to look at Zhao Xian: "Did you do it?"
Zhao Xian: "To serve as a warning to others."
