The next morning.
The sun rises in the sky, and its golden rays tear through the darkness that shrouds the earth.
The towering mountains are covered with a lot of snow, which was accumulated when the cold wave arrived in the past few months.
The sun rises in the morning, and its golden rays fall on the snow, which is immediately reflected by the snow that has not yet melted. This makes the entire snow-capped mountain look like it is covered with a layer of golden clothes.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
Looking at the snow-capped mountains from a high altitude, you can see many water flows in the mountains, which are snow water formed by melting accumulated water.
Some surrounding snow-capped mountains have the same situation. The snow water flowing down from the mountains gathers in low-lying areas after reaching the foot of the mountains, forming a large puddle.
As time went by, more and more snow water gathered into this puddle, causing the puddle to further expand in area, and then turned into a lake.
There is a forest not far away. Due to the influence of the cold wave, this forest originally became bare and seemed to be dead.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, these bare trees have immediately come back to life, and you can see many emerald green buds on their branches.
Some figures wearing uniforms were walking in the woods. The leader was a middle-aged man, 1.85 meters tall and very burly.
"Captain, are you almost there?" asked a young man in his early thirties.
"We should be there when we get out of the woods." The burly middle-aged man said to his companions.
After a while, a group of people came out of the woods. They stood on the hillside and saw the shining lake in the distance.
Looking around the lake, you can see small rivers that are still continuously pouring water into the lake.
"We're finally here. I didn't expect the scenery here to be quite beautiful." said a girl with her hair tied into a ponytail.
"Hurry up and investigate!" The middle-aged man leading the team said to several researchers from the Psychic Research Institute around him.
"Yeah." The researcher from the Psychic Research Institute nodded, then walked towards the lake ahead carrying the bag containing the instruments.
The middle-aged man turned his head and said to his companions, "Everyone spread out. If you find any strange beasts, please warn them immediately."
"Yes." The investigators nodded, and then walked to some higher places around them.
After the cold wave receded, the strongholds built by humans in the forest began to be busy again.
The mining work that had been stopped was restarted, and truckloads of materials were transported towards the base camp.
In addition to resuming work that had been stopped, building new strongholds was also put on the agenda.
After the high-level meeting, each work team began to search for a suitable location in the forest to build a stronghold.
Now this team is a work team looking for a location to build a stronghold. As long as researchers from the Psychic Research Institute confirm that there are mineral veins around, a construction team will come here to build a stronghold.
"Captain, the cold wave has just subsided. There are not many strange beasts in the forest. There is no need to be so serious..." An investigator wearing sunglasses took out a pack of cigarettes from his body and said with a smile.
The middle-aged man leading the team took the cigarette handed to him and put it into his mouth. Then he touched the cigarette with his finger and the cigarette immediately lit up.
"call……"
Taking a breath, opening his mouth and blowing out a stream of smoke, the middle-aged man leading the team said to his companions.
"Although there are not many strange beasts in the forest now, it is better to be careful. If something happens to these researchers, we will not be able to explain to the boss..."
The investigator wearing sunglasses nodded, and then the two chatted and smoked.
"Roar……"
Suddenly, a loud roar of an animal came from behind, startling everyone present.
When I first came here, I searched the surrounding area and found no trace of animals. Now I was about to start working, but an animal suddenly jumped out.
"It's just an ordinary animal, don't panic." The middle-aged man leading the team saw a beast appearing not far away and said to his companions who were looking over.
"Leave it to me!" the investigator wearing sunglasses said with a smile.
"Yeah." The middle-aged man leading the team nodded.
"Roar..." The beast with many black markings on its body looked at the two investigators maliciously, roared, and then launched an attack.
The investigator wearing sunglasses saw the beast charging towards him, took a deep breath calmly, and then exhaled slowly.
White smoke sprayed out from the mouth of the investigator wearing sunglasses and expanded rapidly in the air, expanding hundreds of times at once.
"Roar……"
When the beast with many black markings on its body saw this, it was frightened and immediately stopped and looked at the two investigators tremblingly.
Just as the beast was about to turn around and run away, smoke floating in the air quickly flew towards him and enveloped it.
"Roar……"
The beast with many black markings on its body roared in pain, and then he turned and ran away. At this time, the smoke that enveloped him could not be shaken off.
After running a hundred meters away, the beast shrouded in smoke fell to the ground, its painful sounds getting weaker and weaker, until it was no longer alive.
"Done." The investigator wearing sunglasses said with a smile.
"You can control the smoke farther than before!" the middle-aged man leading the team said in surprise.
"Not long ago, my strength has increased, and now the distance I can control the smoke is one-tenth higher than before." The investigator wearing sunglasses laughed.
A hundred meters away, the smoke dissipated, and the beast that died of suffocation appeared.
…………
In the valley, the pig-headed camp gradually became lively after the sun rose.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was lying on the bed and sleeping. When he heard the sound coming from outside, he opened his eyes.
"Ha~"
He raised his hand and yawned. The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, lifted the blanket covering himself and stood up. He came to the table, picked up the water glass, and drank the cold water in the glass.
The sunlight outside the window fell indoors, illuminating a large golden spot on the ground.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead finished drinking water and came to the window, looking at the endless blue sky outside, feeling very good.
Today is a good day, better than yesterday's weather, very suitable for travel.
Later, after having breakfast, he will go out for inspection to see if there are any traces of Blue Star people in the area near the camp.
"Click."
Opening the door and walking out, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood under the eaves, looking at the pig-headed warriors who were doing morning exercises, wondering if he should also find an open space to stretch his hands and feet.
"Are you up?"
A familiar voice came to his ears, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead turned his head and saw his friend looking at him.
"Good morning."
"Did you sleep well last night?" the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain asked with a smile.
"Yeah." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded, and then asked, "How is it over there in the warehouse?"
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain knew that the warehouse his friend was asking about was referring to the warehouse where food was stored, so he replied, "I went to check it just now and there was no problem."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead heard this answer and immediately smiled on his face, "It seems that the thief who stole our food will no longer come after the weather gets warmer."
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain nodded, "It should be so. It's been a few days since he last came to steal our food. If the cold wave was still there, he wouldn't have appeared after such a long interval."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead glanced at the muddy ground outside the camp, then raised his head, looked at the rising sun in the sky, and said to the handsome pig-headed logistics captain opposite.
"If the weather in the future is as good as today, the time for the ground to dry will definitely be greatly shortened."
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain agreed, "Well, today's temperature should be higher than yesterday. If nothing else, the drying time of the ground will indeed be much shorter than we previously expected."
"In this case, the thawing time of the frozen lake outside the valley will also be shortened!" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought for a while and said.
"Yes, if the frozen lake thaws, the strange beasts in the lake will definitely come out." said the handsome pig-headed logistics captain.
"Have you arranged all the people?" asked the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead. He was asking about the arrangements for the personnel guarding the frozen lake.
"It's been arranged. After breakfast, they will stand guard next to the lake." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain said with a smile.
"That's good!" The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded.
The two pig-headed captains chatted for a while, and then the gong for dinner rang.
After the cold wave subsided, the meal time in the pig-headed camp also moved forward.
Everyone went to the dining area and lined up to receive breakfast. After everyone finished their breakfast, they started to do what they were doing.
"Then I'm leaving." The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, returned to his dormitory to get his weapons after breakfast.
"Be careful, put your own safety first," the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain warned.
"Yeah." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead nodded, and then walked out of the camp.
The ground outside the camp is still very muddy, but compared with yesterday, the ground today is still drier.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, carefully paid attention to the situation on the ground to avoid stepping into a mud puddle.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain stood at the entrance of the camp, watching the departing figure of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
When he saw his friend disappear, he turned his head and looked at a few of his men in the distance who had no assigned tasks and were sitting on wooden stools basking in the sun.
"Captain." The pig-headed warrior, who was sitting on a wooden stool basking in the sun, stood up immediately when he saw the handsome pig-headed logistics captain approaching.
"You go to the warehouse and get the tools, and follow me to repair the fence." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain explained.
"Yes." The pig-headed warrior basking in the sun nodded, and then immediately ran to the warehouse where the tools were stored.
After a while, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain led his men to the damaged area of the fence. He began to instruct his men to repair the damaged fence.
"Captain." A figure ran over from a distance and shouted when he arrived at the handsome pig-headed logistics captain.
"What's going on?" The handsome pig-headed logistics captain, who was instructing his men to repair the fence, raised his head and asked in confusion.
"The iron pot used to cook rice is broken," the chef reported.
"Isn't there a backup?" the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain asked.
"The backup has been taken out a long time ago, and depending on the situation, it should be broken before long." said the chef.
After hearing these words, the handsome pig-headed logistics captain immediately remembered that the backup iron pot had been taken out a month ago.
"It's only been a month, why did the backup iron pan break down in such a short period of time?" the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain asked in confusion.
"The quality is not good!" said the chef.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain's face suddenly darkened after hearing this.
He knew that the department that provided military supplies should have received kickbacks, so the backup iron pots had quality problems.
Although I am very angry that the department that provides military supplies receives kickbacks, being angry now will not solve the problem.
"call……"
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain took a deep breath to let his anger dissipate, and then said to the chef in charge.
"You can make do with the spare iron pots for now. I will find a way to get some iron ore later and make some good iron pots for you."
"Yes." The chef nodded happily and left.
"Captain, is this okay?" the pig-headed warrior repairing the fence asked.
"Okay, just fix it like this. After this place is done, you go and fix it there." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain said, raising his finger to point to the location.
"Yes." The pig-headed soldier repairing the fence nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and then repaired the damaged fence seriously.
…………
The bare trees grow green leaves, and as time goes by, these trees will become more and more vigorous.
"Choo Choo Choo……"
When the cold wave comes, it is rare to see birds standing on the branches and singing.
Now, when the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came out of the valley, he suddenly heard a distant cry.
He looked up and saw many birds of different colors standing on some trees.
The morning sun falls on the body, bringing a lot of warmth.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was soaking in the sunshine and looking at the lively birds in the distance, his mood became better and better.
"Next, I'll go to the lake first and have a look..."
