Chapter 51 Autumn Hunting①

On the day when summer entered the ambush, Hua Xiaoqin, a wanderer, finally returned to the shipyard.

She was still at the edge of the banyan forest when she was discovered by a nearby sentry. Reports were sent to the ship station.

Hua Xiaoqin also discovered the guard post, and under the guidance of the guard, she found the motorcycle that had been hidden in a different position, and sped back home.

In one month, the shipyard has changed drastically.

The wall that originally stood on the outermost perimeter became a movable device that can be retracted underground.

Many cement buildings have been built on the ground. They are raised to the ground at sunrise to receive sunlight, and they are retracted underground when it rains or sets.

You can even find holes hiding gun barrels in the buildings, making them look like above-ground fortresses.

After a little questioning, I found out that the industrial group had done a great job in finding discarded bullets in the underground warehouse and remaking them into cannons to deal with small groups of mutated creatures that had no eyes.

Of course, if they encounter a large group of mutated animals, the shipyard will still choose to hide underground.

Cement buildings are basically industrial and agricultural fortifications, used for planting and livestock raising.

The mutated food pig brought from No. 61 and the two deer sent back by Hua Xiaoqin are all raised here. The deer parents are happy to be parents again, and the deer calves are eager to be fed.

When Hua's mother learned that Hua Xiaoqin had arrived home, she hurriedly entered the kitchen. By the time she got home, she was almost ready to start dinner.

Hua Xiaomao also took leave and went home for a meal.

While eating, the three of them talked about what they had experienced in the past month. Although Hua Xiaoqin's days of traveling alone were difficult, the shipyard was not idle either and had already welcomed a wave of mutated elephants.

These guys have rough skin and thick flesh, their eyes can shoot lasers, and their ivory is extremely sharp and can easily break through cement and stone piers.

The walls of the shipyard are vulnerable to this group of demon stars.

Everyone had no choice but to hide underground.

Fortunately, the weight of this group of elephants was not much different from before the mutation, so they were unable to trample the underground parts, so the humans in the ship station escaped.

After the elephants went north to forage, the shipyard seized the opportunity to repair the fence and designed the huge factory area to be flexible and retractable to prevent it from collapsing again next time the elephants passed by south.

In addition to mutated elephants, the ship station also saw black bears that were extremely fast in running and climbing trees, snails that corroded everything, and diamondback moths that exuded paralyzing toxins...

Because there was no Gao Zhan to defend the city, everyone could only hide.

There is no way to delay production.

The agricultural group was not greatly affected. The batch of full-spectrum fill-in lights that Hua Xiaoqin sold has become a production artifact. The underground planting department has already produced per capita rations for this year. The following summer sowing and autumn sowing can enrich the warehouse in case of emergency needs.

As for some single or group mutated animals with low combat power, they basically let the electric fence stay outside.

The shipyard arranges for people to go to the ground for exercise and relaxation every day. Everyone's mental state is much healthier than when they were in the 61st institute, and even the crime rate has dropped.

After exchanging basic information, Hua Xiaoqin went to the medical station to visit her old friend.

Pan Zi's injury was far more serious than Bai Fei's. Bai Fei could already sit and work, but Pan Zi had to lie down and wanted to sleep after saying a few words.

Hua Xiaoqin then remembered that she should give him some supplements. It's not too late now, just put it into Pan Zi's food, smile and watch him eat and fall asleep before leaving.

Finally, I went to the director’s office to report my work.

Gao Qing and Tan Songming are both old faces, while the captains are newly promoted and have no previous contact with Hua Xiaoqin.

In the past month, apart from planting and infrastructure construction, the ship base has basically not explored too many areas.

Especially due to the attack of several waves of mutated animals due to Gao Zhan's absence, the progress of infrastructure construction was seriously hindered.

According to the original plan, the shelter at this time should have been able to produce weapons and equipment. But now the production line is still under preparation, and a lot of metal has been turned into scrap metal in the laser cutting of the mutated elephant and has to be remanufactured.

Except for the agriculture group, which has completed its quarterly tasks normally, several other functional departments have stayed put.

"The shelter is short of manpower, so it is impossible to discuss the forced relocation plan and the opening of trade roads in the banyan forest..." Hua Xiaoqin sighed. "It's okay. This is only the first year. Let's try to clear the road next year!" Tan Songming was very optimistic.

"Perhaps you can bring back the spring water and soil samples from the banyan forest and let the agricultural team participate in the research." Gao Qing asked after discussion.

That's all it can do for the time being.

After the meeting, Hua Xiaoqin "according to the agreement" handed over the entire set of mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks "received" from the village primary school to the school line.

She copied this set of teaching materials from the science and technology panel to enrich the minds of the members of the ship station.

The textbooks are written from the shallower to the deeper and involve all aspects of life. Although it is a bit boring, it is very practical.

Fortunately, the students who come to the shelter for classes have already been beaten hard by life, and they quickly accept something as easy as going to school.

The adult class at the shipyard was started.

As long as it is a holiday, the adult version will be in session.

In addition to self-study textbooks, the school also organized discussion and practice classes. Many principles were learned directly through hands-on practice. The efficiency was very low at first, but after getting used to it, students mastered it very firmly, and some students with flexible minds can still use it at work.

Throughout the summer, everyone was immersed in rebuilding the production line and stocking up on knowledge.

Hua Xiaoqin originally planned to take a week's rest, but the dog at home was used to living underground, so he started struggling to go out after just two days.

She had no choice but to accept her fate, and as soon as she led the dog and the crow to the ground, she was taught a lesson by the oncoming storm.

The shipyard is located on the seaside and often faces typhoons every summer and autumn.

Let alone construction in this kind of weather, people walking on the road may be blown away.

Gouzi angrily followed Hua Xiaoqin back to the underground civil air defense project.

After the typhoon, the factory area was flooded with water, but the drainage outlet was blocked by guests from the sea and the water could not be drained out.

When Hua Xiaoqin took Crow and Gouzi to check, the guest had already torn apart a drone and two hunting team members, and swallowed them in one gulp.

Except for the big red dot that Hua Xiaoqin saw on the map, there was nothing at the drainage outlet to the naked eye.

[Identification (Level 100): This is a mutated octopus with a thin body, flexible tentacles covered with suckers, a very high IQ, and its skin can change color to adapt to the surrounding environment to ambush prey. Its weakness is that it can be scared away by high-frequency sound waves. 】

There was no way to make a high-frequency sound wave generator in a short time, so Hua Xiaoqin could only use primitive methods.

"Everyone, be careful. This is an octopus. Be careful not to get too close. I'll lure it away..."

As Hua Xiaoqin said, she repeated her old trick, tied up the fresh pork with a rope, and moved closer to the drain outlet little by little.

After a while, the big red dot on the map slowly moved outward. The pork was pushed, and the red dot retracted again. He was very wary.

Hua Xiaoqin patiently led the big red dot into the sea gradually.

The pork disappeared into the sea together with the rope, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

The drainage outlet gurgled and released water, and people in the factory area cheered.

Hua Xiaoqin was not at home last month. If something happened, everyone would have no choice but to catch her. If they couldn't do anything, they could only run away.

Now that Hua Xiaoqin is at home, hundreds of people seem to have a backbone. When encountering difficulties, there will always be someone who stands up and says not to panic, and then tells everyone how to deal with it.

Hua Xiaoqin naturally didn't know her role.

She was completely unaware and was focused on preparing to go out and explore again in late summer and early autumn.

 I can no longer live without my daughter’s map cheating device...
