They discussed it for a long time but still couldn't come to a conclusion.
Soon, the voices of the ice harvesting team also rang out, with distress: "Deputy Captain Ren, can we still harvest ice here?"
There are more than a hundred people in the ice-harvesting team, and now they are all waiting there, neither going up nor down.
Now the car is left there.
Ren Wangwang was silent for a moment. "Wait, don't take any risks. If all else fails, wait until daybreak."
Qiao Xuejun also felt a sinking feeling in her heart and asked the system, "What's going on? These salmon are really interfering with our ice harvesting."
System: "Host, the mutants are indeed intelligent. They can even sense changes in the weather. They have their own plans for doing this now."
Qiao Xuejun frowned: "Do they also know that the temperature is going to drop significantly soon?"
System: "Animals are always sensitive to temperature changes."
The temperature will drop in a week, and before that, the sea monster is frantically obstructing humanity's collection of supplies, especially water... If you don't have enough food and water, you will die.
Qiao Xuejun speculated, "They think humans won't be able to come out to gather supplies by then, so they're slowing down our efforts to gather supplies, causing famine to occur during the period of significant temperature drops?"
After all, it wasn't just the First Base that encountered this situation; the Sea Fortress was attacked as well. Whenever they went out to collect supplies, they would be attacked.
It's just that the Sea Fort's military strength is too low, and the harassment has directly escalated into an attack. In short, the result is that people can't collect supplies.
System: "Very likely."
Qiao Xuejun: "But they don't seem to know that the first drop in temperature only lasts for three days."
System: "Indeed, they only foresee that the temperature drop will last for a period of time."
…
Qiao Xuejun said, "Deputy Captain Ren."
Ren Wangwang was stunned when he heard Qiao Xuejun was still there before replying, "Teacher Qiao?"
Qiao Xuejun said, "Our horses are ready to go. We need some time to get used to the ice harvesting team. I'm bringing the horses here now, but for safety reasons, we can only stay inside the defensive wall."
Ren Wangwang immediately replied, "Okay, the ice harvesters are also unable to do anything right now, so we can start getting used to the ice-footed horses. I'll organize the ice harvesters to come over right away."
Qiao Xuejun said, "You don't have to come all together yet. You can choose. There are 24 cars in total, so you only need to select 24 people from them."
Ren Wangwang: "Okay, I understand."
He immediately shouted, "Attention, ice harvesters! Team leaders, step out!"
Qiao Xuejun put away the intercom and said hello to Zhu Zhou: "Let's go to the front mountain to meet up with the ice harvesting team."
Zhu Zhou: "Okay."
The two men rode their ice-footed horses and hurried forward.
Qiao Xuejun also called the Engineering Department: "Qiao Xuejun here, calling Zhao Yun, calling Zhao Yun."
Zhao Yun: "Teacher Qiao, I'm here. Are you asking about the progress of the electric wrist heater?"
Qiao Xuejun: "No, it's the progress of the horse-drawn truck."
Zhao Yun: "That's still being worked on and improved. It will probably take some time."
Qiao Xuejun: "Where are the harness pieces?"
Zhao Yun: "That's all done. Only the sled is still being worked on."
The harness is the fitting that attaches the human-drawn ice harvester to the horse. These fittings are fixed, and the engineering department is mainly improving the structure of the sled itself to make it more suitable for ice-hoisted horses.
So the horse harness pieces are all prepared in advance.
Qiao Xuejun: "Please send it over here for me to try. It's inside the high-voltage power grid, near the exit."
Zhao Yun: "Okay! I'll bring someone over right away."
He loudly ordered, "Engineer Zhang, pack up the kits prepared for the Ministry of Agriculture and send them to Teacher Qiao!"
"yes!"
He spoke a few more words to the person in charge, and after giving his instructions, he returned to the channel and spoke to Qiao Xuejun: "Teacher Qiao, I heard that the mare in the stable gave birth to a foal yesterday?"
Qiao Xuejun: "You are quite well-informed."
Zhao Yun: "I heard about it from the patrol team yesterday. Everyone is paying attention!"
Qiao Xuejun smiled and said, "Yeah. Yesterday's delivery went smoothly, and the foal is healthy."
Zhao Yun: "I want to go to the stables after I finish my work."
Qiao Xuejun declined politely: "It's still in the observation period. You can come and join in the fun when things are stable."
Zhao Yun felt a little regretful, but had to agree: "Okay."
·
Qiao Xuejun and Zhu Zhou, riding their ice-footed horses, quickly arrived in front of the defensive wall of the front mountain, waiting for the people from the foot of the mountain to join them.
Before the ice-harvesting team arrived, Qiao Xuejun and Zhu Zhou first divided the ice-legged horses into groups of two, and the last pair had one more horse.
Each group of horses was separated by a distance.
The inside of the defensive wall was still in the form of a mountain forest. The horses were grouped together around the trees, separated by the trees and unable to see each other.
At present, the ice-footed horses are very docile and no abnormalities have occurred.
Qiao Xuejun said to the system: "Give me the bell that controls the horse."
System: "Okay host."
The bell quietly appeared in Qiao Xuejun's pocket.
The system was still very confident: "These ice-footed horses are very accustomed to the presence of humans, so they should not be needed anymore."
Qiao Xuejun: "That's true. Zhu Zhou has been doing well recently."
·
At the foot of the mountain, the team leaders who were brought up by Ren Wangwang in a simple and rough manner pushed empty ice-harvesting carts and followed Ren Wangwang up the mountain.
24 vehicles, all empty, not a single piece of ice was collected.
They looked at each other, bewildered. Finally, someone shouted, "Deputy Captain Ren, where are we going? We're not harvesting ice anymore?"
Just now they were some distance away from Ren Wangwang and could not hear what Ren Wangwang was saying on the radio.
