"I want to eat human flesh, too. We can raise humans and fatten them up before eating them. Can they grow to our size?"
"You'll know after you try it. Humans are so precious. A whole human is only enough to feed half a person."
The salmon waited on the ice rink for a long time, but saw no response from the patrol team.
"Why don't the Twolegs come and fight us?"
"He hasn't scolded us yet."
Even when the ice harvesters were not working, they would be driven away if they came over, and the patrols rarely just watched them do nothing.
Most of the time they are attacked with missiles, which always leaves them with some wounds.
At least scold them.
"They're scared," the simple-minded salmon concluded. "It must be because it's been so cold these past few days that they can't go out. This has made them realize the gap between them and us!"
Another salmon asked, "Are they coming today?"
Salmon: "I don't know. But the box jellyfish asked us to apply the poison, so we can leave after we're done."
The salmon made a gurgling sound continuously in a certain direction, as if it was saying hello to someone.
Soon the same sound was heard from that direction, echoing from afar.
Sea Monster Camp.
The box jellyfish crawled out from the bottom of the water, its translucent tentacles resting on the ice, and it gurgled a few times in response.
The sea snake next to it also poked its head out: "Is your venom sufficient, my friend?"
The box jellyfish's tentacles swayed. "I've been storing this for a long time, and now I've released it all at once. Now I'm ready to eat some horse meat."
It was very excited, its tentacles dancing wildly. "Unlike being stung, they won't die immediately after swallowing my toxin. They will have difficulty breathing, stomachaches, and continuous defecation! Maybe by the time we swallow them, they'll still be alive! I've never eaten horse meat, only human flesh!"
Freshness. Isn’t it the freshness that humans value when they eat seafood?
"Twenty drops of toxin, all used up!" It said, its tentacles drooping again with regret. "Before the transformation, all my venom sacs combined could only hold two drops."
After the mutation, its body size increased tenfold, as did its venom sac.
But it is not a problem to use these toxins to knock out the little broken horses in their base. If they are lucky, they can even knock out a few people!
The sea snake spun in circles: "Now that you have no venom, I can wrap myself around you as I please."
The box jellyfish's umbrella box bulged: "Get out of here!"
The sea snake didn't listen, and soon the two monsters started fighting, going back and forth, and the fight was hard to separate.
It wasn't until another squid appeared that they stopped them: "You have the strength to ram the human ship! Swallow them all!"
The box jellyfish moved a little further away from the sea snake: "I can't hit it."
Neither box jellyfish nor sea snakes are strong, and now that the temperature is rising, it would be a headache to ram ships.
The box jellyfish said, "It's almost dawn. The salmon said that humans will go out to collect ice at dawn. Let's go over and wait."
"Wait until they react! Then we'll go up and swallow them up!"
The squid turned and swam towards the other end of the ice. "Contact our human friend and ask him to pay more attention to the changes in the base, especially the horses."
…
Shen Xingtang received news from the sea monster camp.
Thinking of the news he had just heard, Shen Xingtang felt a little excited. The sea monster camp really attacked Qiao Xuejun's ice-legged horse!
The toxins of box jellyfish.
If it succeeds, it will be a huge loss and a huge blow to Qiao Xuejun, Zhao Xian, and even the entire base!
"Why hasn't the ice-harvesting team appeared yet?" The sea monster's question came from the radio.
Thanks to the translation converter, Shen Xingtang was able to chat with them smoothly.
"I know. The ice-harvesting team will probably have to wait until daybreak before they can use the horse team to pull in the ice! We can wait a little longer. The base has a water reserve, but it's still tight, only enough for four or five days. If we go harvesting ice, we'll run out of water."
The sea monster became even more suspicious: "It's already daybreak!"
Shen Xingtang was stunned.
She usually stayed in this room and couldn't go out. The only people she could see were medical staff, patrol guards, and Huo Antu. He had no defenses against her, and almost all the information about the outside world she knew came from Huo Antu.
The medical staff and patrol officers were all Zhao Xian's men, and they wouldn't say much in front of her.
So she didn't know it was dawn so early.
She remembered what the system had reminded her before, saying that the temperature would rise soon, and it seemed that it had already started.
She sighed: "Because my recent help to you was suspected, I was locked up. I didn't know it was already daybreak now."
A system notification came to my ears: [General Character: Box Jellyfish's favorability increased by 10 points.]
Although it's an ordinary role, it's fine as long as it can provide a good feeling.
Shen Xingtang continued, "Work at the base is mandatory and scheduled at specific times. Although the sun rose quickly today, adjusting the established work schedule isn't easy. Just wait a little longer and it should be back soon. It's always like this, it's normal."
With Shen Xingtang's words, the sea monsters over there felt much more at ease. After another round of chattering, they replied to Shen Xingtang: "Then we will wait at the foot of the mountain and wait for the cavalry to come out and transport the ice."
…
In an inconspicuous corner of the back mountain, huge rocks are everywhere. In the low-lying area in the middle, a small stream flows out and extends to the lower river channel.
Ren Wangwang squatted beside the river, watching the white steam rising from the water. His eyes widened. He squatted down and kept exclaiming, "Oh my god, oh my god!"
He took off his gloves and reached out to touch the water: "Fuck, it's actually hot!"
It is not uncommon for mountain springs to be warm in winter and cool in summer.
Because the spring water comes out from the ground, the water temperature is basically constant, more than ten degrees.
Compared with the high temperatures of 30 or 40 degrees in summer, temperatures of more than 10 degrees seem cool. Compared with the cold temperatures of several degrees or even below zero in winter, temperatures of more than 10 degrees seem warm.
But Ren Wangwang could sense that the river wasn't simply a constant temperature, warm in winter and cool in summer. It was warm, really warm! It was definitely more than ten degrees Celsius.
His hands were warm because he had been wearing gloves, but when he touched the water he felt it was slightly hot. The spring water was even hotter than his body temperature!
Qiao Xuejun reminded him: "Wipe your hands off."
It's so cold that your hands will freeze immediately if you take them out of the river water.
Ren Wangwang's movements were also very quick. He wiped off the water, put on gloves, and followed the procedures like a conditioned reflex without needing to be reminded.
Qiao Xuejun said, "If this is a stable water source, then the ice-collecting site at the foot of the mountain can be removed. We can just draw water from here."
Ren Wangwang was completely carried away. He took out his radio and called Zhao Xian directly: "Captain, this is Mountain Eagle. Report to the captain, we found a hot spring in the back mountain!"
A stream of hot water. This statement confused Zhao Xian, and he asked, "What did you discover?"
Qiao Xuejun laughed at their reactions.
Ren Wangwang finally calmed down a bit: "A river with hot water! It's right behind our base!"
