Zhao Xian took her hand and led them back to the room: "No rush, don't alert the enemy. Now the main focus is collecting the sea monster's information glands."
He said in a deep voice, "The book's consciousness wants to move the source of the fungus. Let it move, and we'll pretend we don't know. Wait until Elder An and the others make the potion, and then you can go with us to find it and try to kill it with one strike."
Qiao Xuejun thought about it and decided that this was indeed safer.
Zhao Xian asked again, "Can the system leave you and go directly with us?"
It is dangerous to go deep into the sea monster camp, and Zhao Xian doesn't want Qiao Xuejun to take the risk with them.
Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "No. It can't leave me too far. I have to go with you."
Zhao Xian held her hand, gently stroked the back of her hand with his thumb, and was silent.
Qiao Xuejun sensed his mood suddenly drop, and knowing he was overthinking again, she gently shook his hand: "Once the mutant creatures are no longer rampant, the biggest threat to our survival will be gone."
If there were no sea monsters running rampant, human life would be much more convenient. They could go out to look for supplies more easily, migrate to better developed areas, and the salvage teams would be more efficient.
Zhao Xian simply said, as if to make a promise: "It will be soon."
After returning to the room and washing up, Qiao Xuejun went to bed, and Zhao Xian opened the cabinet and took the radio out of it.
He got into bed and changed the channels on the radio.
Qiao Xuejun watched his movements, finding them odd. Listening to the radio before bed? There hadn't been much new lately, and the weather had been stable.
"What are you listening to? It's just a repetition of what you heard during the day."
During natural disasters, radio broadcasts report weather conditions, survival conditions, and advertisements to recruit survivors.
Zhao Xian tuned up the radio and placed it in front of him, then put his arm around Qiao Xuejun. "It's time for the Fourth Base to eat potatoes."
As expected, a voice came from the radio: "May 6, 2032, sunny, temperature -2°C to 3°C... On behalf of all the survivors, I would like to thank Expert Qiao for the potatoes. Thank you very much, they have solved our urgent need at the Fourth Base..."
Qiao Xuejun: "I really ate it."
Zhao Xian: "They are very short of food and are almost starving to death."
Qiao Xuejun: "They only took away 3 tons, so there's still a lot left. I don't know when they can come back to take more. Let's make low-temperature clothing this summer."
The radio played it once and then repeated it. Besides the survival situation of their Fourth Base, everyone was thanking Qiao Xuejun for his potatoes, which had alleviated their ongoing famine.
"Everyone is thanking you." Zhao Xian raised the corners of his lips slightly, appearing even happier than Qiao Xuejun.
Qiao Xuejun heard the broadcast repeating for the third time, so she changed the channel and asked, "Are you tired of listening to it?"
Zhao Xian: "How can this be annoying? They should talk more."
The broadcast skipped over and stopped at the channel of the sea monster base. The person on it was promoting: "...After the mutation, you will be extremely strong, not afraid of cold or hunger, and you won't get sick even if you eat raw food..."
Their promotion sounds like it has only advantages and no disadvantages.
But An Lao and his team have already reached a basic conclusion: after the mutation, the human body is not as big as those of the giant sea monsters, and the nutrients in the body are much less, which is simply unable to support the long-term survival of this symbiotic bacteria.
Sooner or later it will be sucked dry.
Not many years left to live.
Although they have been promoting it very hard, there are also people on the Survivor Alliance radio station who echoed it and said they wanted to join the sea monster.
But so far, all mutants have been abducted and forcibly transformed into mutants, and no one has voluntarily surrendered.
The mutants in the sea monster camp also knew that propaganda had little effect. After a brief lecture, they began to speak harshly: "How long can you hold on?"
"We can turn all the small fish and shrimp into monsters and make them go up the mountain every day. You have medicine, but how long can your medicine last? We have an endless supply of fish."
"The weather's getting warmer, and it's not just deep-sea fish that can roam outdoors! We have tons of shallow-sea fish, and they come to your base every day. Haha, you can kill them all you want, and you'll never kill them all!"
Qiao Xuejun: "So arrogant."
Zhao Xian: "Your arrogance won't last long."
Qiao Xuejun: "Where do you usually take the glands from sea monsters?"
Before, when Qiao Xuejun was with the patrol team, there was no need to remove glands. They would just kill the animals and dissect them on the spot, giving priority to collecting the parts that could be used to extract blue oil.
Zhao Xian said, "Usually, it's near the base of the dorsal fin."
Qiao Xuejun: "Be careful, don't be too anxious."
Qiao Xuejun jumped to another channel. Their first base was also talking about the weather, predicting that the temperature would gradually rise.
The radio station in Haibao is still in operation, although they have actually been merged and are nominally still two survival bases.
In addition to the basic survival status of the base, they will also release information about the habits of sea monsters. Because they are attacked too frequently, they have mastered some combat skills, including the weaknesses of sea monsters, which will all be announced.
Qiao Xuejun then asked Zhao Xian, "How's the mining going on at Mute Cannon Mountain?"
Zhao Xian: "It can be used to smelt iron. The output is good."
The two continued to chat casually, and Zhao Xian even helped Qiao Xuejun massage her wrist.
After chatting for a while, I lay down to rest and fell asleep.
·
The second group from the fourth base arrived very quickly. They should have brought all the trucks in the base.
There was also a pile of nickel soil on the car.
Wang Wenxun was a little embarrassed: "Minister Qiao, we originally came here to load more nickel soil, but the mining speed can't keep up. So here are only 5 tons."
Qiao Xuejun had previously calculated that they would need a total of 20 tons of nickel soil, and she had roughly told Wang Wenxun about this amount.
