With Yu Yanbin and the others' reminder, the situation at the base became even more tense.
Seeing people skiing around earlier gave others a great idea.
More and more people at the base are starting to use skis for transportation.
This is indeed convenient and quick.
However, their skis weren't as good as Li Xiao's, so they made them themselves using the best materials they could find.
Like wood, plastic, alloy, and things like that.
All sorts of things, as long as they work, any material will do.
The heavy snow fell intermittently.
But now, you can see skis of all colors speeding around the base, making it much more lively than when it rained before.
Some of the bolder ones, like Li Xiao and his group, would ski into the city.
Because of the warning, they were all extra careful.
People who went there said that it was indeed in a certain place in the city, where a building was destroyed and was about to collapse. The ground was smashed, and there were many rats with dismembered limbs mixed with mud and stones, all over the ground.
And you're saying that if you hadn't reminded the base about the rats, those people wouldn't have been able to tell that the ones being killed were rats.
This is terrifying! The rats are now as big as cats used to be, and some are even bigger than cats, about the size of dogs.
However, most people didn't believe it.
It wasn't until later, when someone else saw it and brought it up, that we found out.
What they said before was true; it really was a rat.
The rat's teeth are still clearly visible, as is its long, thin tail. Apart from its appearance changing a lot, it is basically the same.
This caused even more panic.
These individuals took the base's previous warnings to heart.
It's just that I took it to heart too late.
People have already been killed by the mutated animals.
However, this time it wasn't a mouse, it was a cat.
The vast majority of residents in the base began to panic.
This also attracted the attention of the base's higher-ups.
Finally, the base began to take measures. A self-inspection was initiated throughout the entire base.
Although it was buried by wind and snow, the self-inspection was still effective.
"Hey, you went outside for a walk, did you find anything?"
Shao Jie warmed his hands by the fireplace, took a sip of hot tea to warm himself up, and then said, "Hey, you know what? Ji really did find out."
Everyone immediately became very interested and hurriedly asked, "Really? Tell us about it?"
Shao Jie also wanted to say that being asked this question made him even more interested.
"You guys don't know, as soon as I went out, I saw skis flying around everywhere in the base."
Tian Tian punched him, lightly hitting his arm.
"What do you mean by flying around? Speak properly."
Shao Jie cleared his throat and continued speaking in a more serious tone.
Everyone smiled.
"It's just sliding around, it's all the same thing."
"Hmm, tell me about it."
"The remaining members of the brigade at the base have probably all been mobilized to seal off the base and inspect all the sewers and places that never see sunlight."
"You know what, we actually found some things in those sewers."
This piqued everyone's interest even more.
"Tell me quickly, what are they?"
Shao Jie didn't keep him in suspense, "What else could it be but those shady things?"
Tian Tian grinned and said, "A mouse!"
"Yes, there are rats too, and some other things as well." Shao Jie shrugged. "Guess what else?"
Xiao Peng slapped him. "Hurry up and tell me, why are you keeping me in suspense?"
Shao Jie had intended to liven things up, but that slap extinguished it all.
He glanced at Xiao Peng and continued, "It's not surprising to find rats in the sewers; there are also some insects. There are even cats."
Everyone looked at each other in surprise, not expecting to find such things inside the base.
It seems that even inside the base isn't safe.
I suddenly feel insecure, what should I do?
"So what's the base doing now?" Cheng Shaolin was quite interested in this.
"Of course we have to eliminate them. What else can we do?"
"But eliminating them won't be easy either."
Shao Jie nodded. "Yes, the fighting is still going on. But many teams have gone out to help. Shall we go?"
Shao Jie glanced at Yu Yanbin, then at Cheng Shaolin, waiting for their decision.
Yu Yanbin and Cheng Shaolin exchanged a glance, and they had already made up their minds.
"Of course we'll go. We're all in this base too. If something happens at the base, none of us can escape."
“Yes, that’s true. When we help others, we’re also helping ourselves,” Cheng Shaolin added.
"Alright, in that case, let's go now. I can see they're working really hard, considering the base is so big and the number of people is relatively small."
"Okay, let's hurry up then."
"Xiaoxiao, you and Yongnian stay here. Watch the house." Cheng Shaolin turned around and instructed Li Xiao, not wanting her to go out and suffer from the cold and hardship.
They're enough to help.
Li Xiao did not refuse.
She doesn't want to go out either. Isn't it uncomfortable to stay at home by the fire?
Since no one has any objections, let's accept it without feeling guilty.
Zheng Yongnian had no choice but to stay with Li Xiao.
The two sat down in front of the fireplace and waited, hoping everything would go well.
Yu Yanbin led them all the way to the main gate of the base.
Sure enough, the gate was sealed shut, not a single crack was left.
