Chapter 407 Symptoms



Qiao Xuejun: "What kind of sea monster is it?"

Xiao Feng poured a cup of hot water for the worker from the ice harvesting team: "Brother, have a drink to warm yourself up. The temperature has dropped again today."

The ice-harvesting worker thanked him, took the cup, took a sip, and then said, "It's salmon."

Salmon again. Coincidence?

The ice harvester couldn't help but mention, "It was salmon that attacked Yang Lao Er and Da Lei before."

Qiao Xuejun: "Is it the same one?"

The ice harvester shook his head. "No. This one's teeth are shaped differently, and they look a little bigger."

If they weren't the same salmon, that would postpone the possibility of impulsive revenge. But if they were both salmon, it could also be a planned and premeditated attack.

What exactly do these sea monsters want to do?

The first base has sufficient firepower, and the sea monster has now almost figured out the distribution of forces in this area and is unlikely to actively attack the base.

Although the ice quarry is at the foot of Hongmei Mountain and outside the defense wall, there is a patrol booth right next to the ice quarry.

Because this is an important production point, the troops are heavier than those in other places, and there are two rocket launchers.

The sea monster is also very afraid.

It came yesterday and it came today. This phenomenon is not unusual.

·

At lunch time, Qiao Xuejun went to the cafeteria.

There were many people in the cafeteria and there was a lot of news. She heard everyone talking about the sea monster's attack. She originally thought it was about the ice quarry, but when she listened carefully, she found out it was about the sea fort.

"I heard that more than ten people died!"

"What do you mean more than ten? I clearly heard more than twenty!"

Someone died in Haibao?

Qiao Xuejun walked over to the table where the group was talking and asked directly, "Brother, where did this news come from? Was the Sea Fort attacked?"

Seeing that it was Qiao Xuejun who came over, after being surprised, they were willing to speak: "Yes, I'm from the city wall patrol team. Early this morning, we were conducting the city wall inspection as usual, and we encountered people from Haibao who came to negotiate. They looked very bad and were discussing this matter. I vaguely heard that they had lost a lot of people, more than 20 people. They were about to quarrel."

"What's the fuss?"

The eldest brother said, "I don't know about that. They were talking quietly, but the dead man suddenly spoke loudly, so I heard it."

Qiao Xuejun nodded.

The news came from the sea fort itself.

Qiao Xuejun recalled what Zhao Xian had said yesterday. He had said the negotiations would be quick. If the deaths in Haibao continued, then they would indeed be quick.

Just like yesterday, Qiao Xuejun followed Uncle Zhang who had prepared the food cart to the negotiation meeting room.

On the way, Uncle Zhang was very silent.

He probably also knew about the death in Haibao.

Although the dead were not from the First Base, the fact that they died at the hands of a sea monster was somewhat tragic.

After a long while, Qiao Xuejun finally heard Uncle Zhang sigh, "When will this natural disaster end?"

Qiao Xuejun was in a heavy mood.

Not only is there no end in sight, but in the near future, within a week, the temperature will drop drastically again, and a new round of natural disasters will arrive.

"Let me go! I'm not crazy! I'm not sick!"

Just as Qiao Xuejun and Uncle Zhang brought the dining cart to the door of the negotiation meeting room, the door suddenly opened.

Two patrol soldiers came out escorting a man.

The person being held captive is... Shen Xingtang?

Qiao Xuejun was so surprised that she stopped in her tracks.

The imprisoned Shen Xingtang was still struggling: "Let me go! How dare you do this to me? I...I want to see Huo Antu!"

One of them was Wu Haifan. He held Shen Xingtang's arm and said, "Honestly, why didn't you think of now when you were leading the people from Haibao to spread false information and cause trouble?"

Shen Xingtang struggled to no avail, his face flushed with exhaustion. "I'm not, and I'm not sick. What gives you the right to say I'm crazy?"

Wu Haifan remained calm and composed, stating, "This is the diagnosis issued by Military Doctor Zheng. You have a mental illness. Once he cures you, he will naturally release you."

Qiao Xuejun was completely bewildered. Shen Xingtang was ill? What was wrong?

Shen Xingtang finally looked up and saw Qiao Xuejun. Jealousy welled up in her eyes. "I'm not crazy. I only said those things because I didn't believe Qiao Xuejun could grow so many vegetables. I'm not sick! I... woo!"

Wu Haifan put his hand over her mouth, hinting at a threat: "If the doctor says you're sick, then you're sick. You don't have the final say."

He nodded towards Qiao Xuejun: “Teacher Qiao, I will send Assistant Shen to the medical department for treatment.”

Qiao Xuejun watched the whole thing and didn't have time to say a word. She just watched Wu Haifan and the others escort Shen Xingtang away.

It sounds like Shen Xingtang's spreading of provocative remarks was discovered, and then Doctor Zheng diagnosed Shen Xingtang with a mental illness and wanted to lock him up for treatment.

Shen Xingtang himself was unwilling to accept this treatment and insisted that he was not sick.

Doctor Zheng is Zhao Xian's man and only listens to Zhao Xian.

If Shen Xingtang is really not sick, it means that Zhao Xian hopes she is sick.

“…”

Qiao Xuejun and Uncle Zhang looked at each other and continued to push the food cart into the meeting room.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was also heavy.

The logistics manager of the Sea Fort, Uncle Zong, was speaking. He lowered his head and explained, "I didn't mean to instigate anything. I was just curious about the vegetable supply at the First Base, so I asked a few more questions."

Sun Linlie, who was sitting opposite him, looked at him with a look of disappointment: "Uncle Zong, how could you do this?!"

He was even caught by the First Base. There was evidence both from witnesses and from objects, and it was irrefutable. It was so embarrassing!

Meng Ka spoke up to defend Uncle Zong, "I believe Uncle Zong. He definitely didn't do it to instigate anything. He just asked out of curiosity. The main problem is Assistant Shen. She's so weird."

Sun Linlie didn't believe it. "No matter what, you shouldn't be talking nonsense at this time. The relationship between the two sides is already tense, and it's deteriorating. The sea monster is retaliating and attacking, so it's a good thing to reach a negotiation sooner rather than later. Isn't what he said just trying to sow discord between the two sides? Isn't that sabotaging the negotiations? He is the public enemy of our human camp!"

Meng Ka complained, "Why are you making it sound so serious? Don't you know what kind of person Zongshu is? He's been doing logistics for so long, and who has he wronged? Anyway, I trust him. He definitely didn't do it on purpose, he just accidentally did something bad."

"Stop arguing." Yuan Yuanfang interrupted the two.

She looked at Zhao Xian and said firmly, "Lord Zhao, let's sign the agreement according to the conditions we discussed yesterday. I am willing to allow 30 people from the First Base to enter our Sea Fort factory to supervise the work."

Seeing that the conversation in the conference room was reaching a critical juncture, Qiao Xuejun pulled the dining car and stood in the corner without going up to interrupt.

Unexpectedly, after some discussions, Yuan Yuanfang directly agreed to sign the negotiation agreement.

Go ahead and sign, then we can eat.
