This was the voice of everyone on the fleet. They came out and took away the most precious blue oil in the base.
Blue oil doesn’t feel like food; you can take the leftovers home and continue eating them.
The fuel for the round trip has to be consumed no matter what.
But the items on the supplies list were not completed, only 60% were collected.
Zhao Yun asked Old Wu cautiously, "Are you sure nothing will happen tomorrow?"
Old Wu: "No one can be 100% sure about the weather, but based on the current data, I think it will still be sunny tomorrow."
As soon as Old Wu said this, the discussion below began in a flurry: "There's really no need to go back now. It's really not worth it if we don't have everything we need."
"Wouldn't it be better to find more stuff to take back? There are so many people waiting for food and supplies, and the big hospital in the north of the city only searched half of it yesterday."
"Also, there's an old clothing factory over there with a lot of fabrics. Even though they're all waste fabrics, I can still use them to mend clothes and shoes when I get home."
A patrol soldier at the first base also said, "There are still some spices that Uncle Zhang wants. There is a candle factory in the east. You can go and search it." The candle factory might have some spices.
"There's still the pesticide that Teacher Qiao needed, and we haven't finished moving it yet."
They only spent half a day here in four days, and didn't sleep much at night. They felt like the time was not enough.
Old Wu looked at Captain Qin: "Captain, what do you think?"
Everything on the ship is under the captain's control.
Captain Qin's face was solemn as he said, "We still have enough fuel for at least two days of sailing."
He also thought that the search could continue. He came here on behalf of Haibao, and Haibao also brought people to search this time, but they didn't collect enough supplies.
The itinerary given by the First Base is to go back today.
A bit too conservative.
But even though he was the captain, he had no say in the matter.
He looked at the person who could speak at the First Base and said, "Deputy Minister Ren, what do you think?"
Ren Wangwang looked solemn. Before departure, the captain told him that they must return before the 5th, and Teacher Qiao also emphasized this point. They were worried about the temperature drop.
But now is the doomsday era, and many professional and advanced temperature measuring equipment cannot be used. Relying on current machines and manual predictions, we can only measure the next one or two days.
In other words, the information from the captain and Teacher Qiao may be inaccurate.
It would be more reliable if Mr. Wu only predicted for one day.
If we went back on time, we would have wasted two days of searching for supplies and would have lost a lot of supplies.
But the captain emphasized that the time must be very tight.
Ren Wangwang glanced at the time again: "It's only 8 o'clock in the morning. Let's search again and leave at 5 o'clock in the afternoon."
We'll leave in the afternoon, and if we're quick, we can get back today. It won't count as disobeying orders.
Captain Qin was a little disappointed, but he nodded: "Okay."
The conclusion is that I have to go back today.
Some people were unwilling to accept it: "But the weather is so nice, why do you have to be so rigid?"
Ren Wangwang stood up, his eyes narrowed. "We'll leave at 5 o'clock sharp. If you don't get on board by then, I won't wait for you."
He really had the final say in this matter, and everyone followed his lead and dispersed.
After leaving the meeting room, some people were dissatisfied and whispered to their companions: "Why are those people from the First Base so rigid? They haven't searched enough and haven't even collected half of what we have."
"The weather experts have said there's no problem. Do we really have to listen to the overlord? He's not the emperor."
"It's someone else's boat, so you have to obey them."
"Hurry up, there are still more than ten hours left to search for things after we get out. Hurry up."
"They say you won't wait for anyone if you don't wait for them. Last time, there were people from the city who didn't come, and they didn't wait. Don't take any chances."
·
In the ocean, a group of huge ocean killers are lurking in the water, staring at the cargo ship called Great White Shark.
"That damn black stone is so scary in the ocean. It makes my whole body hurt." The sea snake poked its eyes out of the water.
"The leader told us to keep an eye on this ship, but how can we keep an eye on it if we can't get close?" The box jellyfish also looked fearfully at the row of black devices on the stern. Those things looked like black stones.
It seems to be called something called expulsion sonar.
It was that thing, barely effective on land, but truly remarkable in the sea, producing a piercing sound that made them feel completely queasy. If they got close, their entire bodies would stiffen.
It wasn't this good before, it has been improved.
Humans are really smart.
Box jellyfish: "I don't want to stare anymore. I want to go out. I can't breathe."
Sea snake: "How long have you been in the water? If you keep going in and out, people will see you!"
The box jellyfish was dissatisfied: "I want to breathe!"
Since they have grown so huge, they have to go to the shore to keep breathing. The water is warm and comfortable, but they can only stay underwater for a short time.
The cuttlefish next to him grumbled, "The chief's been acting strange lately, always talking to himself. And for no apparent reason, he insisted on us keeping an eye on this ship."
Box jellyfish: "Never mind. You guys stay here and watch. I'm going ashore."
The cuttlefish followed the box jellyfish and said, "This is too uncomfortable. I can't breathe."
The sea serpent's tail curled around and it grabbed the two companions. "Don't move. Be gentle. The leader said we can't let them see us. We need them to gather supplies here in peace. The longer they stay, the better."
It grumbled proudly, "The chief said it was going to get cold, but they didn't know! They thought it would be warm soon."
"When they freeze to death, we'll go and devour them."
"How do you swallow a black stone?"
"Black stones require energy. Once they run out of energy, they'll be useless." The sea snake's eyes bulged as it hissed, "My young have been used as energy by humans."
