The sea monster's laughter was extremely shrill, like popcorn popping, and the bouncing sound was really unbearable.
[Congratulations, host! Your capture character, "Ocean Giant Octopus," has increased his favorability by 50 points!]
[Increases the favorability of "Australian Jellyfish" by 20 points!]
[Increases "Sea Snake" favorability by 20 points!]
【……】
A series of favorability reports made Shen Xingtang feel that he had done something great.
But she was also a little nervous, and hurriedly asked the system: "Will their plan succeed?"
System: [I'm not sure how the purification plant purifies the water, but it's worth a try. Box jellyfish are extremely toxic. Even at -70°C, they remain dormant. Once the temperature rises, the toxins melt from the ice and enter the water. Just 5 micrograms is enough to kill an adult in 3 minutes.]
If successful, the First Base's strength will indeed be weakened by the disappearance of these horses. It will also be easier to collect favorability points.

Qiao Xuejun returned to the small compartment and picked out all the clean chicken feathers.
Meanwhile, the radio was still blaring.
The male voice that claimed to be surnamed Chen suddenly stopped speaking before he finished his words after a barrage of rumors.
She thought that Zhao Xian had probably gone to find Shen Xingtang and interrupted her.
After about ten minutes, the radio started to sound again, but it was mumbling.
Kuang Qianli also helped comb the chicken feathers and listened for a long time: "I didn't understand a single word. What are they talking about?"
Qiao Xuejun didn't understand. If she could see the sea monsters, she could use her telescope to try to spy on their thoughts. But now there was only sound coming from the radio. The telescope was useless.
I wonder if Zhao Xian has discovered anything.
Zhao Linlin: "It feels so scary. Sea monsters can really think and talk."
Kuang Qianli also paused: "It's scary to think about it. They have eaten the flesh of our kind. We have eaten the flesh of their kind."
Qiao Xuejun interrupted their thoughts: "Don't think too much. Get to work."
·
At night, Qiao Xuejun lay alone on the kang and contacted Zhao Xian to ask about what happened during the day.
"There is indeed a problem. Teacher Qiao, you are right."
Zhao Xian talked about how he asked Wu Haifan to record the video in detail: "She didn't make any sound, but judging from her lip reading, what she said was the same as what Shen said on the radio."
Qiao Xuejun: "Then this Chen is her."
Zhao Xian: “About.”
He said, "And her blood is still abnormal. This time, the test results show that her blood can be used as an energy source. It contains some energy from an unknown source. It is more efficient than the energy provided by blue oil."
Qiao Xuejun listened and guessed, that should be the energy belonging to Shen Xingtang's system?
As expected, as soon as Zhao Xian finished speaking, the system's voice sounded immediately: "Host, if your blood has energy, please give it to me. I can try to devour it!"
Qiao Xuejun asked, "Can you swallow it?"
System: "If you have energy, you can swallow it."
Qiao Xuejun mentioned to Zhao Xian: "Keep the blood first, and I will study it from my own perspective later."
Zhao Xian: "Okay. I've saved them all."
Zhao Xian did not ask Qiao Xuejun in depth why she knew about Shen Xingtang.
Qiao Xuejun asked about the sea fort again.
Zhao Xian: "It was attacked, and its hull was breached by a sea monster. If this continues, the Sea Fortress of Prosperity will become uninhabitable."
Qiao Xuejun: "We'll recruit them when the time comes."
But this time it was impossible, the cooling period was only 3 days. The damage to the ship in the sea fort was also limited, they could wait for the temperature to rise to repair it and continue living there.
The two chatted, and the conversation kept coming back to business.
Zhao Xian asked her, "Did you have a hot compress or a massage?"
Qiao Xuejun: “…”
Zhao Xian: "Forgot?"
Qiao Xuejun stuttered: "I'll remember it tomorrow."
Zhao Xian: "It's still early, we can go and make up for it."
Qiao Xuejun: "No, I'm freezing."
The kang was so warm that she took off all her clothes. To get hot water, she had to walk through the large living room, which was still 15 degrees below zero, and go to the small compartment.
Who would be willing to go?
Qiao Xuejun: "I'll definitely remember it tomorrow."
Zhao Xian: "Okay. I'll remind you tomorrow."
Qiao Xuejun felt a little embarrassed: "I remember it just because I said I did. I don't need you to remind me."
Zhao Xian responded with a good temper: "Okay, I believe Teacher Qiao."

When Qiao Xuejun woke up the next morning, he heard the system's announcement.
"Congratulations, host! On the first day of the extreme cold period, the base has achieved zero casualties and zero personnel reductions. The mission has progressed past one-third! Please keep it up!"
Qiao Xuejun got up and went to the small compartment to light the fire.
The system reminded her: "You will be able to claim the Xiaoxi reward in two days."
Qiao Xuejun: "Can the stream be installed casually?"
System: "It needs to meet the terrain conditions, with height differences and a river."
Qiao Xuejun nodded. This requirement was very simple. It was just that the stream needed to appear reasonably and the water could not flow randomly on the ground out of thin air.
System: "For the first three days after the stream is installed, it will be flowing. After that, it will slowly freeze over due to the ambient temperature."
Qiao Xuejun: "Can't it just keep flowing?"
System: "Host, I repeat, I cannot create a stream out of thin air. It was transferred from somewhere else."
"In other places, there is geothermal heat. So the water that flows out is warm and flowing at first. But there is no geothermal heat here, so it will slowly freeze."
Qiao Xuejun nodded: "I understand."
Frozen ice is no problem. The water from the stream will be enough to store the base in three days. At least this way, we don't have to go down the mountain to collect ice. We can just use the water from the stream.
When it freezes over, you can still harvest ice from the stream.
In another two months, when her malnourished patients are discharged, she will also be able to redeem geothermal energy, and then she can draw hot water directly from the creek!
After making a fire, Qiao Xuejun boiled a pot of water.
Then apply hot compress.
When Zhao Xian asks her again in the evening, she will be able to speak with confidence.
After she had roasted the potatoes, Kuang Qianli and Zhao Linlin got up. They went straight to the small compartment and sat by the stove in tacit understanding.
Kuang Qianli asked, "Why does it feel a little colder today than yesterday?"
Qiao Xuejun: "You just came out. It's cold in the living room."
Kuang Qianli shuddered: "It's really cold. Let's go out and take a look after we warm up. Don't let the snow bury us."
Zhao Linlin spread his hands over the stove to feel the heat: "I'm not going. It's too cold."
