The system added: "If you, the host, can claim the stream reward by then, perhaps you won't even need the ice harvesting team to do the work!"
Qiao Xuejun: "I understand. I'm working on it."
The prerequisite for receiving the Creek reward is that there must be no casualties in the base during the three days of cooling temperatures.
Previously, Qiao Xuejun thought that the reduction in personnel meant being killed by the drop in temperature, and the risk of freezing to death was the greatest.
So she told Zhao Xian in advance that they had taken warming measures for the patrol booths outside to reduce the possibility of freezing to death.
But after what happened yesterday, there is still the risk of external forces snatching people away.
The slogan Tong Hongfang shouted before his death was - surrender to the sea monster.
But judging by the reactions at yesterday's meeting, everyone thought it was ridiculous: How could anyone want to join a sea monster? Absurd.
When she went to Grandpa Fang to pick up her repaired shoes this morning, she also asked them how they felt.
The Fang family scoffed, "Only a psychopath would seek refuge with a sea monster! You want to clean yourself up and become their meal, right?"
Most people think so. Go to the sea monster? Impossible.
The system said, "Yes. Host, according to the original plot, someone is willing to become part of the sea monster in order to survive."
Qiao Xuejun frowned.
The system said, "Just like Tong Hongfang yesterday, he's no longer afraid of the cold, and his attack power has increased. He can also retain his consciousness. If faced with the possibility of death at any time, some people would be willing to live one day at a time."
The system quickly added, "But not now, because we have enough food and warm clothes."
Qiao Xuejun nodded.
This is natural. If there is a good life to live, who would want to live among animals?
The daylight hours gradually shortened.
There were less than 4 hours of daylight on that day, but the ice-harvesting team still completed 4 hours of work.
When the ice harvesting team finished their seventh load of ice, the system announced: "Congratulations, host! Your base's water storage has reached 100%! Food reserves have reached 100%! There are enough basic supplies to last the base through the three-day drop in temperature! I hope the host can perfectly achieve the record of [no loss of personnel]!"
Today went smoothly and Qiao Xuejun was relieved.
But it's different at night.
As soon as it got dark, before 6 p.m., strange howling sounds were heard outside the base, which sounded like a human, yet not like a human.
The same thing as Tong Hongfang.
Zhao Xian hasn't come back yet.
They need to continue collecting blue oil.
A new investigation team was also established yesterday. They are going to investigate what is going on inside the mutants, what intentions they have towards humans, and how these mutants were created.
Strange howling sounds came from nowhere and continued to spread into the base.
The mood within the base is relatively stable.
The broadcasting room and dormitory management carried out the announcement according to Zhao Xian's arrangements and calmed everyone's emotions.
Yuan Zhiyi’s stable singing program can also help the base stabilize its emotions.
It's just that the temperature has been low recently, and almost no one goes to the zoo, so its function has become smaller.
But fortunately, the zoo's construction materials are the same as those of Shen Xingtang's seventh base. Needless to say, the thermal insulation effect is the same as Qiao Xuejun's shelter. The strength can adapt to natural disasters, and the lowest temperature can only drop to minus 10℃. Coupled with the heating facilities inside, it is basically unaffected.
Day 3.
The temperature officially dropped to minus 72 degrees Celsius.
Before this, Qiao Xuejun returned to her shelter and devoted herself to hatching the chicks.
When Kuang Qianli woke up in the morning, he saw Qiao Xuejun hadn't left the house, but was staying in the cubicle warming himself by the fire. He was very surprised and asked, "Aren't you going to work?"
Qiao Xuejun glanced at him and said, "Go out and try first."
Kuang Qianli was suspicious and looked at the thermometer in the small compartment. It was 20℃, very warm.
Kuang Qianli was washing up in the cubicle and asked, "When did you get up to light the fire? It's already so warm."
He also lamented, "You've been living at the base all this time. We haven't enjoyed this treatment in a long time. It's freezing cold when we get up."
Soon, the little carpenter also got up.
While Dr. Wang is away, she has been living in the base during this period. Due to the shortage of medical resources, she has been supporting there and has not returned.
The young carpenter squatted by the stove without even washing his face, looking at the potatoes roasting on the stove: "There's still breakfast!"
During the time when Qiao Xuejun was away, the fire was not burning and there was naturally no breakfast. They all had work to do at the base, so they went to the base cafeteria for breakfast.
As for the plane, the carpenter had already brought it to her bedroom, which had a kang and was warm.
She reached out and picked at the potatoes on the plate on the stove, then looked at the time: "But we're going to be late. If we don't go out now, it will be too late."
Qiao Xuejun calmly informed them: "Don't worry, you can't go out today."
