Chapter 1251 Busy Stars
When setting off back to the Stars stronghold, except for the personnel who were transferred back to the Stars, all the loads on the airship were used to transport food.
Nothing fancy, almost all frozen meat, big chunks of frozen meat.
The biological resources of the permafrost soil are actually quite rich, and it is a natural refrigerator, so there are no worries about preservation.
When the meat is transported back to the stars, it is estimated that it will not have time to thaw.
The supplies squad leader has calculated that this batch of frozen meat can increase the food inventory of the Star Stronghold by about 10%.
But this support can only be temporary.
Gordon and the others decided to go to great lengths to transport this batch of supplies. The main purpose was to reassure people.
The current population of Star Stronghold is close to four hundred people, and the daily food consumption is not a small number.
At a time when food sources are in short supply and reserves are declining, it is inevitable for people to feel uneasy. I only hope that the arrival of this batch of supplies can make everyone feel relieved.
If the worst happens, some personnel will have to be sent back to the Old World.
This may not sound like much, but you must know that the New World Investigation Team is an elite group. Except for a very few family members, there are no so-called idlers.
The loss of talent is the heaviest blow to the New World Investigation Team.
After more than two days of flying, Anhil and others arrived at the Star Stronghold with a slightly heavy heart.
It turned out that the situation was not as serious as they thought.
There was no such situation of depression where the blame could not be uncovered and people were panicking.
Restaurants like Arms and Maosanting are still open, but the variety of dishes is not as rich as before.
Before the hunters take the mission and set off, if you want to order a portion of cat rice that is rich in nutrients, the chef can still fill it up for you.
The material squad leader, who was worried about the inventory situation, rushed to the headquarters immediately to learn about the situation from the commander-in-chief.
It turned out that they seemed to have some misunderstanding.
Due to drastic changes in climate and the onset of cold waves, the Star Stronghold indeed encountered a food crisis.
The food sources of Star Stronghold mainly come from three directions.
The farm established by the Plant Growth Research Institute provides wheat and other staple foods, various fruits, and vegetables.
Hunters enter the ancient tree forest to hunt for meat.
As well as the fishing fleet that cooperates with the fish basket group to catch the catch.
The unusual cold wave has caused a reduction in farm production, and the fishing season has become chaotic as a result. The catch has decreased. In addition, the hunters in the Star Stronghold are basically devoted to the task of solving monster disturbances in various places, and there is also a shortage of manpower to supplement the meat supply.
The combination of these has resulted in a significant decline in Xingchen’s food reserves.
However, these problems can be solved.
The small ancient giant trees cultivated by the Plant Growth Research Institute are very adaptable, and it will not take long for the new batch of crops to mature.
As long as the fishing fleet takes some time to go to the open sea, they can also catch a large number of fish.
It is not difficult for hunters to hunt. As long as they invest manpower, how difficult is it to drag 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.
So, in the letter sent to Yuechen, the Commander-in-Chief only mentioned the inventory casually, and did not directly mention the need for Yuechen to provide assistance.
It can be said that Gordon and the supplies squad leader over-interpreted it.
"What are you doing, I'm so lucky to come back in such a hurry!" the material squad leader said with a crazy expression of "What on earth am I doing?!"
The Commander-in-Chief's smile faded and he showed a serious expression, "It doesn't matter if you're back, there have been a lot of troubles recently.
Due to the cold wave and monster disturbances, there is indeed a gap in the income and expenditure of basic supplies such as food.< br>
Although it has not affected the normal operation of the star stronghold, in order to To avoid accidents in the future, it is best to fill this hole as soon as possible.
Material distribution is your strength. You will take over this part, and I will arrange the personnel."
The monitor sighed, "Okay, where is working overtime not overtime?"
"By the way, how many people did you bring back this time?" the commander-in-chief asked.
"Gordon, Jean, and twelve hunters are left behind in Yuechen. The other hunters and most of the editors have returned."
"Hahaha! Then let's The manpower will suddenly become richer!" came the loud laughter.
The squad leader of the supplies squad turned around in surprise, "Grand Commander? Are you back too?"
"You were called back by this guy!" The Grand Commander said with a white smile. Teeth, he raised his big chin and pointed at the commander-in-chief.
"Everyone is busy, we can't let you have some free time alone." The commander-in-chief snorted.
“By the way, where is Mecca (Dragon tribe hunter), did you call back?”
The commander-in-chief crossed his arms and nodded, “Well, Yuanye sent back a letter. , the letter mentioned some kind of 'singing', I was a little concerned about it, and asked Mecca to investigate."< br>
After briefly explaining a few words to the commander of the regiment, the commander-in-chief turned back and continued to say to the squad leader of the supplies squad:
“There are many more people coming back than I thought, and some are backlogged. The difficult task can finally be arranged
However, the commotion of monsters is probably not limited to our side, but may also occur in the Everfrost Tundra. The two high-ranking hunters still feel a little uneasy. "
After pondering for a moment, the commander-in-chief decided: "Well, let's do this. I will send the sword master there.
That guy can’t even use a projector, and he’s too old to be sent out for field investigation or hunting. It’s better to 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 cannot 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 has specially arranged manpower and facilities to take care of young children whose parents have no time to take care of them.
Little Muti, as well as Evelin 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". Finally, she saw the baby she had been thinking about day and night.
The people responsible for taking care of these children are several women with rich childcare experience and Elu who has received special training.
Mutty's wet nurse was here, as was the Sterling cat butler.
Seeing the 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.
Gently picked up her 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 taking care of children, there is no one in the entire New World who has more experience than us.
You hunters, fought desperately against monsters in the wild, my husband, and the craftsmen, worked desperately to build in the ice and snow, as well as scholars, doctors, and coachmen
< br>The same goes for us, we will take good care of these children even if we work hard. "
"Yes, 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."
Not here Stay here longer.
Rather than spending time with her daughter, she has more things to do now. Only by getting rid of those suddenly commotion monsters as soon as possible can the Star Stronghold be safe enough. (End of this chapter)
