Jin Yiyu lifted the curtain covering the greenhouse, took a half step forward, looked at her, then took a half step back and shrank back, and the curtain was closed again.
The movements are incredibly smooth.
Qiao Xuejun looked at the door curtain that was still swaying slightly: "..."
Was heard.
"Lord, do you have any idea?"
The tips of her ears turned red and she turned around and glared at Zhao Xian.
Zhao Xian acted innocent: "They're not used to it. Maybe if I come a few more times they'll get used to it."
Qiao Xuejun took his hand and walked out in silence: "Alright, alright, let's go now. You're affecting my department's work by staying here!"
Zhao Xian sighed with a look of regret: "People should not be too diligent. I have done so much for you, and it's not only that I don't get any praise, it's all just slander."
Qiao Xuejun thought about it and realized that Zhao Xian did follow her around and help her out a lot.
She turned to look at him: "Well, thank you for your help, Lord."
She lowered her voice again: "Next time, please say less...shocking words."
Zhao Xian asked, "What do you mean by shocking words?"
Qiao Xuejun: "It's the kind that scares people back out of there."
Zhao Xian nodded: "Oh, I like you."
Qiao Xuejun's ears turned red again: "Hurry up and leave, they must be waiting anxiously."
Zhao Xian was pulled away by her, not in a hurry at all, and said with a smile: "It's okay, they need me for something, it's okay to wait."
Qiao Xuejun looked up at him: "Didn't you say cooperation?"
Zhao Xian: "Now they are asking for cooperation."

Arriving at the base, they went straight to the conference room. Sure enough, the people from Sea Fort were there.
The people who came this time were a little different from last time, but this difference was normal. Last time they were in the conference room, Zhou Biao and Ding Yunzhe were both guests who came with Yuan Yuanfang, but this time the two were in the first base and could not get out.
So their places were taken by strangers.
When Qiao Xuejun and Zhao Xian came in, they happened to hear them chatting.
Among them, Meng Ka asked, "How is it, Sun Linlie? You went to see it and came back. I didn't lie, did I?"
Because of restrictions on the First Base, only two people can visit. Meng Ka had been there last time, so this time he gave the opportunity to Sun Linlie and Haibao's logistics manager, Uncle Zong.
Sun Linlie's expression was still complicated. He sat down with a serious face and sighed.
Meng Ka pressed on, "Speak, why are you sighing? Haven't you seen anyone?"
Sun Linlie: “I saw it.”
Meng Ka was about to ask more when he saw Qiao Xuejun and Zhao Xian and quickly stood up: "Lord, Teacher Qiao. You are here."
In the conference room, everyone from Haibao stood up.
Yuan Yuanfang stood up and greeted him with a polite smile on her face. She said, "Lord Zhao, I'm here today to discuss an important matter. I'd like to ask the First Base for a favor."
She reached out to shake hands with Qiao Xuejun: "Teacher Qiao is here too."
Qiao Xuejun shook her hand: "Lord Yuan."
Zhao Xian walked past them and went straight to the first seat in the conference room. He sat down and tapped the table with his fingers slightly bent: "Let's start right away."
Ren Wangwang responded, "Yes."
Qiao Xuejun and others also took their seats.
Qiao Xuejun discovered that quite a few people came to Haibao this time. Last time when they came to discuss things, there were quite a few people, almost 8 people, and this time there were even more than last time, about 12 people.
Yuan Yuanfang didn't waste any time and said directly: "We came here to ask for help."
Zhao Xian remained calm and asked directly, "How many of you died?"
Yuan Yuanfang: "Sixteen brothers have already sacrificed their lives."
…
In the questions and answers between Zhao Xian and Yuan Yuanfang, Qiao Xuejun understood almost everything. It seemed that the sea fortress was targeted by the sea monster and was taking action against them.
Sun Linlie: "Whenever we get off the boat, there will be sea monsters ambushing us. It was the same this morning. We have to deal with them before we can leave."
Sun Linlie: "Now we can only hide on the boat and dare not come out."
The other person who replaced Ding Yunzhe was probably the team leader. He was a middle-aged man with a worried look on his face: "Our food and clothes all come from the sea. We must get off the boat to collect supplies. We have no choice."
He added: "The same goes for blue oil. Without blue oil, nothing can be done. But we are running out of blue oil."
Although it is now frozen, it is still possible to salvage in the open sea.
Moreover, even if you don’t go to the open sea, you can still break the ice and go sea fishing nearby.
Although ice fishing is inefficient, it is better than nothing.
Anything is fine, but not getting off the boat is definitely not an option. If you don't have any savings, you will end up eating up all your savings and can only watch the warehouse become smaller day by day.
Sun Linlie said, "We have to go, but as soon as we get off the boat, we'll be targeted. They won't turn hostile right away, but will wait until we're a certain distance from the boat before appearing and attacking."
There is no village in front and no shop behind. You can't run away or hide.
Zhao Xian asked, "Did you see clearly which group of sea monsters it was?"
Sun Linlie's expression darkened and he shook his head. "I didn't see it clearly. Most of the time it happens when it's dark. Sea monsters have a way of attacking people. They seem to specifically choose times when the light is poor, which slows down our reaction time."
It was dark and nothing could be seen clearly. By the time we discovered the existence of the sea monster, our number had already been reduced.
You can't see what the sea monster looks like at all.
Sun Linlie suddenly clenched his fists. "They also show up during the day, but..." He paused and said harshly, "Those beasts just left the bones they'd eaten right next to our boat for us to watch."
His fists creaked. "This is definitely a threat."
The production team leader nodded. "None of our people dare to go out now. It's really a threat. If we don't go out, we won't have any supplies. Sooner or later... Sigh."
The situation does sound very serious.
Sun Linlie concluded: "I feel like we are being hunted."
Before, they hunted sea monsters to get blue oil, but now the sea monsters are hunting them, wanting their bodies to make a dish.
Qiao Xuejun listened carefully. Sea monsters do have a certain degree of intelligence, and the term "hunting" is not an exaggeration.
Yuan Yuanfang said: "So, we want a batch of weapons, guns and ammunition. We are willing to exchange more steel."
Zhao Xian: "Now that the defense of the first base is complete, the demand for steel materials is no more than before."
Qiao Xuejun was listening nearby. This probably meant that the First Base didn't need steel that much anymore, and wanted the other side to hand over more resources as a trade.
