When Yang Lao Er heard what he said, his brows furrowed even deeper. "Da Lei, what nonsense are you talking about? There's no such thing as you said."
The man called Da Lei sneered, "Whether it's true or not, I can see for myself! Isn't it true that the people in the city are paid so much more than us now? Not only do they not have to do the hard work, but they also enjoy all the benefits!"
Yang Lao Er said, "Look at the medical department. Those people are dying. They are our brothers and sisters. Are we going to watch them die? Of course we have to save them if we can!"
"Then why can't those of us in our base enjoy this?" Da Lei said unconvincedly, "I don't care. It's unfair, it's unfair!"
The other two members of their ice-harvesting team tried to mediate, but to no avail.
Da Lei said, "I don't want to merge with that Haibao at all. There are so many people here, and they want to divide up our benefits!"
Yang Laoer originally did not want to argue with his companions. These rumors were all false and he did not know whether they were true or not.
But he had seen Qiao Xuejun before, and Qiao Xuejun had told him a lot. He had firsthand information, so he knew it was not like what his companions said. So he was very confident: "Stop talking nonsense, I think Teacher Qiao feeds you too much. Why the hell can't we get the same benefits at the base? It's because you feed too much, you are not malnourished to death!"
Like their ice transport team, they also belong to a team that does heavy physical work, and the meals they eat on a regular basis are also enhanced, with more meal portions than those of ordinary workers.
Da Lei was scolded, his face flushed and his neck thickened: "You are talking nonsense! What do you know? If there is no benefit, why does Haibao come here every day? Their lord has been coming early and leaving late these past two days!"
Yang Lao Er said, "I'm talking about the treatment of vegetables. I don't know about you. If you want to know, just ask the lord! Don't talk nonsense!"
Da Lei argued loudly: "I'm not talking nonsense. Is it true that only city dwellers can eat vegetables?"
Yang Lao Er: "Facts? Humph. You'll know whether it's true or not in a moment. I'm too lazy to argue with you. You're being provoked by others with a few words, and you still don't believe it."
If he remembered correctly, today was the day that Teacher Qiao had mentioned, the day when spinach would be on the table.
Today he followed Da Lei to see if he would eat spinach and if he would say that vegetables were something only city dwellers could enjoy.
There is a patrol booth at the foot of the mountain next to this small ice rink that specializes in mining ice.
The purpose of setting up a patrol booth here is largely to protect and supervise the ice-harvesting team.
"What are you doing! Hurry up and get up the mountain, don't just stand there!" The patrol soldier in the patrol booth saw that they seemed to be arguing, and came out and shouted at them.
"Okay!" The ice-harvesting team immediately lifted the handlebars and pushed the ice up the mountain.
"You guys don't mind the cold!" He waved his hand, "Hurry up...be careful!"
The patrol member's expression suddenly changed, and his voice rose: "Run over here, the sea monster is attacking!"
"Bang!" He immediately fired a shot in that direction.
The members of the ice-harvesting team suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind the ice hill and blowing towards them.
The salty and fishy smell suddenly became strong.
Sea monster!
They no longer cared about anything and ran towards the patrol team.
·
Early in the morning, while Qiao Xuejun was doing his daily work in the greenhouse, he received a message.
Today was the day when the ice harvesting team should have delivered ice, but they didn't come. Xiao Feng went to check on the situation and came back after a while.
"Minister, minister, something big has happened!" Xiao Feng started shouting outside before he even entered the greenhouse.
Qiao Xuejun and her colleagues were harvesting spinach from the greenhouse. The first crop was already ripe. Uncle Zhang would be arriving soon with his cart.
Hearing Xiao Feng's voice, everyone turned around, and he just happened to lift the curtain and come in.
Jin Yiyun was surprised: "What's the commotion? You're shouting from so far away!"
Xiao Feng wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Something happened to the ice harvesting team. They were ambushed by a group of sea monsters!"
Qiao Xuejun also stopped what he was doing and immediately asked, "Are there any casualties?"
Xiao Feng said, "Three people were injured. Brother Yang, who brought us ice two days ago, was also injured. He was protecting a companion. That place is close to the patrol booth, and the rest of the people are mostly safe under the cover of the patrol team. No one died."
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. No matter what, no one died, and this was the best news.
Jin Yiyun said, "Fortunately, there is a patrol team at the ice rink."
Xiao Feng: "It's just to protect them."
Qiao Xuejun frowned: "Usually, sea monsters rarely come here, how come they suddenly attack?"
Xiao Feng: "I don't know. Everyone finds it strange too."
Normally, sea monsters rarely come to the First Base and target it. They are smart and know that the First Base is strong and powerful, and they also know that Zhao Xian kills sea monsters without blinking an eye.
Qiao Xuejun: "I hope everyone is okay."
·
"I hope everyone is okay." Yuan Yuanfang sighed.
In the cafeteria of the First Base, the people who came to negotiate the Sea Fort were having breakfast at the First Base when they heard the news coming from the cafeteria.
The ice harvesting team at the First Base was attacked by a sea monster.
Zong Weikang, who was sitting opposite Yuan Yuanfang and was in charge of the later stage of the Sea Fort, said, "It seems that the First Base is already overwhelmed by its own affairs. Why don't we go back to the Sea Fort today, stop talking, and let them handle their own affairs."
Yuan Yuanfang hesitated. Something happened in someone else's family, so it was more polite to say goodbye first. But——
"The temperature is going to drop significantly soon. We can't delay any longer. We need to finalize it before then."
