Qiao Xuejun returned to the room and first packed her various supplies, as well as the algae and moss she had collected from the Xie family, and then went to the cargo hold where the horses were loaded to check their condition.
According to the plan, in order to avoid chaos, the horses had to wait until all the people had disembarked before they could come out.
After everything was ready, the ship arrived at the port. Qiao Xuejun walked onto the deck and looked at the Hongmei Mountain right in front of her.
Although the White Shark is considered small among cargo ships, it is generally a large ship. If it wants to dock normally, it will need the assistance of a special tugboat.
But there is nothing we can do now, we can only rely on the skills of the captain and where he chooses to anchor.
The same thing happened with the ship at the Sea Fort. The place where they were anchored was not close to the shore. It was originally the center of the sea between the two mountains, but it was frozen.
The White Shark began to dock slowly under the captain's control, but it was not that fast, and it took almost half an hour to completely dock the ship.
Qiao Xuejun stood at the railing and looked out at Hongmei Mountain. The sky was gradually getting dark now and only the outline of the mountain could be seen. She could also vaguely see a group of people coming towards this side from the mountain.
"Teacher Qiao."
Qiao Xuejun turned her head and saw Huo Antu, who also came out of the cabin.
Qiao Xuejun: "It will take another half an hour to reach the shore."
Huo Antu nodded: "I heard the broadcast. I wanted to come out for some fresh air."
Qiao Xuejun continued to look at the mountain without saying anything.
The patrol and fishing teams began to get busy. They had a lot of things to prepare and arrange, from how to unload the supplies and who would be responsible for them, to the order in which to resettle the more than a thousand survivors.
Qiao Xuejun's intercom rang. It was Shan Falcon: "Teacher Qiao, the supplies you counted earlier will be the eighth to go off the ship. Remember to keep an eye on them when the time comes, so don't miss anything."
Qiao Xuejun: "Okay, remind me when the time comes."
Shan Falcon: “Okay.”
The same goes for Huo Antu. He is responsible for counting the scientific research equipment before unloading it.
After the two of them agreed, Huo Antu put away the walkie-talkie and looked at Qiao Xuejun, seeming to be hesitant to talk.
Qiao Xuejun felt it, and she frowned: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Huo Antu sighed, looking a little embarrassed: "Teacher Qiao, I want to apologize to you on behalf of Xingtang first."
When Qiao Xuejun heard this, she stared at him strangely, and her tone became even stranger: "Apologize?"
Huo Antu nodded: "I know there have always been some misunderstandings between you. Sometimes it may be because Xingtang is immature, so she has some misunderstandings about you..."
He had wanted to build a bridge between them and explain things a long time ago. But he had never had the chance before. But this time he felt that Xingtang's performance was still very good. The fact that he led the swordfish away from the market and dropped it into the sea showed that Xingtang was a kind person and had good intentions.
And didn’t I help a little by taming the ice-footed horse this time?
Huo Antu: "Xingtang is a very kind girl..."
Qiao Xuejun turned away and interrupted: "No need to talk if there is nothing important."
Huo Antu: "..."
He was a little stuck. He didn't expect Qiao Xuejun to be so resistant. But he really felt that Xingtang and Teacher Qiao had just had a misunderstanding. Obviously, both of them were very good people.
Qiao Xuejun found it funny. She also understood why Zhao Xian had to hide from Huo Antu when he attacked Shen Xingtang. It seemed that Huo Antu really thought that his Shen Xingtang was just a little white flower, very innocent.
System: "He is the male protagonist, so he must believe in the female protagonist. They are true love."
After hearing this, Qiao Xuejun suddenly said, "Professor Huo, have you ever thought that people are multifaceted? The Shen Xingtang that others see may be different from the Shen Xingtang that you see."
Huo Antu frowned: "I know what she is like. If others have misunderstandings about her, I will help her explain."
Qiao Xuejun stopped talking.
Huo Antu felt that now was not the right time and changed the subject: "Someone from the base is here to pick us up."
Qiao Xuejun looked up the mountain, and the group of people coming down the mountain were getting closer and closer. There were quite a few people, and Qiao Xuejun could see that they were pushing more than ten carts, which were all the transportation tools in the base.
Zhao Xian had called down the people in advance, because the more people there were to unload the goods, the faster they would go, and they would try to move them up the mountain in one trip without having to make a second trip.
The others on the boat also came out.
"We're finally here!" Everyone looked at Hongmei Mountain with a little excitement.
"Damn it, I miss the base so much. I miss Uncle Zhang, potatoes, corn, and pumpkin soup." He has been eating mostly dry military rations these past few days.
Their trip out was not a peaceful one.
We encountered a storm on the way there. When we got to the city, we saw swordfish and sea monsters. Because we were in danger outside, seeing Hongmei Mountain now gave us a sense of security, just like seeing home.
Even Qiao Xuejun was like this. An inexplicable sense of belonging appeared. The closer she got, the more she wanted to go back.
I wonder how her experimental field is doing? These days, it has been taken care of by Jin Yiyun and Lao Feng.
Dr. Wang and his team are taking care of the plants in the shelter. She even topped the cotton before she left, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
Soon, the people on the mountain reached the shore and stood in a row, waiting for their boat to dock.
There was a lot of noise in the cabin, and almost everyone came out. They all stood on the deck, looking at the people below the ship and waving to those they knew.
Qiao Xuejun looked around the crowd. Although it was dark and everything was blurry, she could still make out the people by looking at their outlines.
