Chapter 1251 Busy Stars
When they set out to return to the Star Base, except for the personnel being transferred back to the Star, all the loads on the airship were used to transport food.
Nothing fancy, almost all of it was frozen meat, large chunks of frozen meat.
The biological resources of the Everfrost Permafrost are actually quite rich, and it is a natural refrigerator, so there is no need to worry about preservation.
When these meats are transported back to the Star, it is estimated that they will not have time to thaw.
The leader of the supply team has calculated that this batch of frozen meat can increase the food inventory of the Star Base by about 10%.
But this kind of support can only be temporary.
Gordon and his team decided to take the trouble to transport this batch of supplies, mainly to reassure people.
The current population of the Star Base is close to 400 people, and the daily food consumption is not a small number.
At a time when food sources are scarce and reserves are declining, people's hearts are bound to be unsettled. I just hope that the arrival of this batch of supplies can make everyone feel a little relieved.
If the worst comes to the worst, some people will have to be sent back to the Old Continent.
This may not sound like much, but you have to know that the New World Survey Team is a group of elites. Except for a few family members, there are no so-called idle people.
The loss of talent is the heaviest blow to the New World Survey Team.
After more than two days of flying, Ansir and others arrived at the Star Base with a slightly heavy heart.
It turned out that the situation was not as serious as they imagined.
There was no such depressed scene of people being unable to make ends meet and panic.
Restaurants such as Weapons and Maoshan Pavilion are still open, but the variety of dishes is not as rich as before.
Before the hunters accepted the mission and set off, they wanted to order a large and nutritious cat meal, and the chef could still fill you up.
The leader of the supply squad, who was worried about the inventory, rushed to the headquarters as soon as possible to ask the commander-in-chief for information.
It turned out that they seemed to have some misunderstandings.
Due to the drastic climate change and the cold wave, the Star Base did encounter a food crisis.
The food sources of the Star Base mainly come from three directions.
The farm established by the Plant Growth Research Institute provides staple foods such as wheat, various fruits and vegetables.
Hunters enter the ancient tree forest and hunt for meat.
And the fishing fleet that cooperates with the fish basket group and catches fish.
The abnormal cold wave caused a reduction in farm production, and the fishing season became chaotic, with a decrease in fish catch. In addition, the hunters in the Star Base were basically put into the task of solving the monster riots in various places, and there was a shortage of manpower to replenish meat.
All these together caused a significant decline in the food reserves of the Star.
However, these problems can be solved.
The small ancient giant trees cultivated by the Plant Growth Research Institute have strong adaptability, and the new batch of crops will mature soon.
The fishing fleet can also catch a lot of fish as long as it takes some time to go to the open sea.
It is not difficult for hunters to hunt. As long as they invest manpower, what is the difficulty in dragging a few herbivorous dragons back?
To put it bluntly, the so-called food reserve is a kind of emergency "redundancy". At present, the investigation team has more important things to deal with, so the commander-in-chief used part of the reserve.
Therefore, in the letter sent to Yuechen, the commander-in-chief only mentioned the inventory casually, and did not directly ask for Yuechen's assistance.
It can be said that Gordon and the leader of the supply squad over-interpreted it.
"What are you doing? I rushed back!" The leader of the supply squad looked crazy, "What the hell am I doing?!"
The commander-in-chief restrained his smile and showed a serious expression, "It's good that you are back. There have been a lot of troubles recently.
Due to the cold wave and monster riots, there is indeed a gap in the income and expenditure of basic materials such as food.
Although it has not yet affected the normal operation of the Xingchen base, in order to avoid accidents in the future, it is better to fill this hole as soon as possible.
Material allocation is your strong point. You take over this part, and I will arrange the personnel."
The leader of the supply squad sighed, "Okay, it doesn't matter where you work overtime?"
"By the way, how many people did you bring back this time?" The commander-in-chief asked.
"Gordon and Gene are left in Yuechen, along with twelve hunters. The other hunters and most of the editors are back."
"Hahaha! Then we'll have more manpower!" A rough laugh came.
The leader of the supply squad turned around in surprise, "Grandmaster? You're back too?"
"I was called back by this guy!" The Grandmaster bared his white teeth, raised his big chin and pointed at the commander-in-chief.
"Everyone is busy, we can't let you take a break alone." The commander-in-chief snorted.
"By the way, what about Mecca (Dragon Hunter), has he called back too?"
The commander-in-chief crossed his arms and nodded, "Well, Yuanye sent back a letter, which mentioned a certain 'singing'. I am a little concerned, so I asked Mecca to investigate."
After briefly explaining to the Grand Commander, the commander-in-chief turned around and continued to say to the leader of the logistics squad:
"There are many more people coming back than I thought, and some of the backlog of difficult tasks can finally be arranged.
But the monster disturbance is not only on our side, it should also appear in the Everfrost Frozen Land. I still feel a little uneasy about the two upper hunters."
After pondering for a moment, the commander-in-chief decided: "Well, let's do this, I will send the swordsmanship master over.
That guy doesn't even know how to use a projector, and he's too old to be sent out for field investigation or hunting. He might as well go to Yuechen to help look after the house. "
The supplies squad leader shrugged, "You have the final say."
Hayata, who returned to the Star Stronghold, did not go home. After saying hello to his companions, he hurried to the house of Evelin and his wife.
However, the couple were not at home.
In today's new world, monsters are turbulent and trouble is everywhere.
As the high-end combat power of the Star Stronghold, the couple naturally could not be idle. They were sent out by the commander-in-chief just the day before yesterday.
Not just them, even the alcohol team who had just recovered from their injuries was no exception.
Hayata, who couldn't open the door after knocking for a long time, panicked for a while.
So where is my daughter? Where is my baby girl? !
After asking around, I found out that the Commander-in-Chief had specially arranged manpower and facilities to take care of young children whose parents had no time to take care of them.
Little Muti, as well as Evelyn and his wife's child, Little Luther, were all taken there.
Hayata pressed the address again and hurried to the facility commonly known as the "nursery", and finally saw the baby she had been thinking about day and night.
Responsible for taking care of these children are several women with rich childcare experience, as well as specially trained Elu.
Mutty's wet nurse was here, as was the Sterling cat butler.
Seeing her chubby daughter in the cradle trying to get up, but could only roll around because her limbs were not strong enough, Hayata breathed a sigh of relief.
He gently picked up his daughter and kissed her, rubbed little Luther's head, and thanked all the aunts and Ellu in the nursery one by one.
Although it is better to keep it by your side and take care of it with your own hands, it is still a reassuring place.
The wet nurse took Muti from Hayata's hand, and while breastfeeding, she said with a smile: "Miss Hayata, our hands are not strong enough.
Hunting, fighting, these things, we can't help.
But when it comes to caring for children, there is no one in the entire New World who has more experience than we do.
You hunters are fighting monsters in the wild. My husband and the craftsmen are working hard to build in the ice and snow, as well as scholars, doctors, and coachmen.
The same goes for us, we will take good care of these children even if we work hard. "
"Yeah, don't worry!"
"Just leave it to us, nya!"
Hayata was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and nodded, "Then please take care of yourself."
Didn't stay here longer.
She has more things to do now than spending time with her daughter. Only by getting rid of those suddenly commotion monsters as soon as possible can the Star Stronghold be safe enough.
