It took some time to clean up the little sea monsters. After they were clean, they moved all the things on the boat ashore.
The Jaws also brought back some people.
Ren Wangwang said, "Lord, these survivors are not from the Fourth Base. They were all picked up on the roadside."
Not many, just over twenty people.
"They all survived the extreme cold. They're similar to the Tang family before them. They stockpiled supplies, but they've almost run out of food in the past two or three years. So they came to us for help."
For example, some people run factories, some run manors, some run supermarkets, or they are simply doomsday preparers... Most of them will be robbed in the early stages of the disaster, but there are also capable people who can hold on to supplies and form their own forces, and these people can survive until now.
But now, most of the supplies have been consumed, and the mutant creatures are becoming more and more active, so they can only come out and join more powerful forces.
There are relatively few such people, but when traveling from the first base to the next city by water, the journey is long and the area covered is wide, so naturally you will meet more people.
The head of personnel led them and said, "Follow me back to the base. I will explain the rules of the base to you."
The newcomer hurriedly said, "Okay, please lead the way."
Zhao Xian also walked up to Qiao Xuejun and patted the water stains on her sleeves: "Go back with them first, don't worry about the rest."
Qiao Xuejun said, "I know. I have something else to do in the greenhouse. It's time to fertilize the cabbages."
Zhao Xian: "Thank you for your hard work."
Qiao Xuejun: "It's not hard. I was growing peas before, so I don't need much fertilizer."
She harvested the peas she had planted earlier and planted cabbage in the empty space.
Chinese cabbage is a member of the cruciferous family and likes nitrogen. Peas are legumes that fix nitrogen, and Chinese cabbage can just use the nitrogen left by peas.
There are many varieties of Chinese cabbage. It is durable in storage and can be stored in a cave warehouse at a low temperature for two or three months.
It can also be used to make pickles and kimchi, which can extend the shelf life.
Qiao Xuejun asked, "Are you going to watch them move their things?"
Zhao Xiandao looked towards the other direction where the sea extended, and said in a heavy voice, "Team Two will just hold on. If they want to be shot, I'll feed them more bullets."
This means we're going to cause trouble at the sea monster camp.
Qiao Xuejun: "Then be careful."
After saying hello, Qiao Xuejun followed the first group of supplies back to the base up the mountain, including the newcomers.
The newcomers came from two shelters and belonged to two families.
They followed the first batch of supplies up the mountain, and they were very cautious on the way. They passed through several defensive outer walls and went up the mountain. They looked left and right and asked: "Are these houses sentry posts?"
They looked at the individual houses on the hill covered with fish skins.
The personnel coordinator who led the way said, "Exactly. We have dozens of patrol posts scattered across the mountain. If a sea monster invades, we can immediately detect and attack it."
Some newcomers were skeptical: "But this house is so small, how sturdy is it? Will those large sea monsters destroy it in one go?"
They had no radios and knew nothing about First Foundation, but they knew about sea monsters.
The power of those sea monsters is terrifying.
The big trees on the mountain were knocked down by the impact. The small house could be vaguely seen through the gaps in the fish-skin door curtain. It was made of wood.
The personnel coordinator replied, "No, before our base's defense walls were built, it was often attacked by sea monsters. These patrol booths are perfectly fine. They look like wood, but they're made of high-strength steel. The wood is just for protection from the cold."
He smiled and said, "There's no need to doubt the safety of the base. Since you've come here for refuge, just stay here and feel at ease."
He said with a bit of arrogance: "Our patrol team just met you on the shore. You saw it too. Even with so many sea monsters attacking us, we still couldn't gain any advantage."
The newcomers' eyes lit up and they nodded, "Yes, that's true. The firepower is quite strong! The sea monsters are very afraid of it!"
What they care about most is safety.
They were on the shore where the Great White Shark passed by, saw the guns on their deck, and knew that they had a high level of military strength.
Otherwise, I wouldn't come here for refuge.
They actually had all the food, clothing, and other supplies. Although the food had been consumed, they could still sustain themselves for a while. They weren't completely destitute. They still had some compressed biscuits and flour. Adding fish and meat to the mix would have provided them with a good meal.
Although the First Base has more bullets, they don’t necessarily eat as well as they do.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "What do the people in the First Base eat now?"
The personnel coordinator looked at them in surprise and asked, "You don't have a radio?"
The man said, "I had one before, but it ran out of power very quickly. When I got the batteries later, I found that the radio was broken and unusable. I haven't used it since."
So they have no idea about the current situation in the outside world. They know nothing about the First Base, the Sea Fortress, and the Fourth Base.
I can only guess that everyone lived in hardship, and their main diet was probably aquatic plants and sea fish. Most people ate these.
The personnel coordinator nodded confidently, "No wonder you ask such questions. Don't worry, you won't starve to death in our base. There's plenty of food and vegetables!"
The newcomers were a little hesitant to believe it, but when they stepped into the base, they had to believe it.
What a warm base!
The temperature outside is around 10℃ now, but it is obviously much warmer inside, and the door is open.
They could see pipes running down the wall, like... heating pipes?
There was a wooden board on the shelf next to the heating pipe, and some black things were drying on the board...it turned out to be wood ear mushrooms!
