Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1225: Worry (Old Father's Face)

Chapter 1225: Worry (Old Father's Face)

The huge ice field located in the northwest of the New World, across the Ice Sea, was named "Eternal Frost Tundra" by the commander-in-chief.

In order to fully investigate and develop this completely unknown new area, the investigation team decided to concentrate resources and establish a large-scale sustainable base in the permafrost.

Continuing the naming style of the Star Stronghold, the new stronghold will be named – Moon Stronghold.

The investigation and development of the permafrost may last for decades. In this case, it is naturally impossible to send out a small team of less than 20 people as before.

After repeated discussions, the commander-in-chief finally decided to send a large team of more than 150 people to participate in the construction of the new base "Yuelen" and the investigation and development of the permafrost.

Of course, so many people cannot be sent there at once. Not to mention anything else, it is impossible to gather so many warm clothes in a short time.

The first group to set off was a construction team consisting of a logistics and transportation team, a craftsman technical team, and hunters responsible for escort.

After they have completed the initial construction of the Yuechen base, subsequent scholars and investigation teams will set off.

Led by Feng Ying, the restless and adventurous young hunters signed up and joined the construction team at the first opportunity.

They had just arrived in a severe winter with heavy snow, and were currently struggling to survive by climbing on the ice and lying in the snow in the permafrost-covered forest.

Judging from the letter Fengying wrote back, she, who could never eat spicy food before, can now eat chili peppers as snacks.

In the icy world where the snow is thick enough to bury a person, if you don't eat something like this to invigorate your blood circulation, your limbs will be frozen stiff no matter how much you wear.

More than a month passed like this.

The construction team sent a message that the initial construction of Yuechen stronghold has been completed.

At the same time, various special materials and exchange personnel from the Old World have also arrived at Xingchen.

It is currently being reorganized and will be sent to the Everfrost Tundra soon. While further constructing Yuechen, it will also officially launch an investigation into the Everfrost Tundra.

According to the decision of the commander-in-chief, four top hunters, Gordon, Hayata, Ansel and Gail, plus a group of elite hunters, will set off in a few days.

Travel with the main force to the Everfrost.

The Alcohol Team, Evelyn, the Feddy couple, and other hunters will stay in the Star Base to continue their investigation of the New World.

As for Az, his mission is rather special.

The commander-in-chief asked him to lead several sea hunters to set off early to investigate the frozen sea between the northwest coast of the New World and the permafrost, and to find the safest shipping route.

If we want to build Yuechen, the transport capacity of airships alone is not enough.

These days, Hayata is almost worried to death because the new armor has been made but he hasn't tried it on yet.

As for the reason for worrying, it was naturally because of my precious daughter.

Little Muti is seven months old. He is chubby and round, very cute. Everyone who sees him wants to pinch him.

But she is still too young. She has just learned to sit and even crawling is difficult for her.

The immune system of babies at this stage is not yet fully formed and is very fragile. A common cold is dangerous, and a fever can be even more terrifying.

Feng Ying said that the average temperature of the permafrost is about minus 20 degrees Celsius, and in extreme weather conditions it may even drop below minus 40 degrees Celsius.

In such an environment, it would be risky for a child like Fu Fu, who is almost four years old, to be looked after by adults.

Ansel even had a big argument with Mrs. Sterling over whether to take the children with him.

The final result was that Fu Fu could be brought along, but Mrs. Sterling said that she had to go with them no matter what, otherwise she would not feel at ease.

And Muti is just over half a year old. Who would dare to carry her and run into the snow?
Even a thick-skinned guy like Gordon wouldn't dare to make such a decision, Hayata would strangle him to death.

Therefore, Muti could only stay in the star stronghold with a warm climate.

Hayata initially planned to stay with her daughter, but that would make the Silver Edge team incomplete and the team's combat effectiveness significantly reduced.

For the investigation team, the Everfrost is a completely unknown and dangerous area. If they want to investigate this area, top combat forces like the Silver Edge Team are necessary.

If she leaves the team, she would be irresponsible to her companions.

The only option at the moment seems to be to temporarily entrust my daughter to the care of others.

But who can I entrust it to?

Originally, Mrs. Sterling would be the most suitable candidate, but she would go to the ice field with Fu Fu.

Gordon's suggestion was to entrust the child to the nanny's home, which might work, but after all, they were not familiar enough, and Hayata could not be completely assured.
After thinking it over and struggling for a long time, she finally found Evelyn and her husband.

The two sides have a life-and-death friendship, and their relationship is not comparable to that of ordinary friends.

Evelyn is tough and steady, while Ferdie is quiet but gentle. They both have experience in raising children. The child is six or seven years old and is a very sensible boy.

From all aspects, it seems that the investigation team cannot find a more suitable family than theirs.

After making a decision, Hayata has strong execution ability.

He went to visit, dragging Gordon along, holding the child, and bringing gifts.

After learning the purpose of the two people's visit, Evelyn and her family agreed readily. The couple both liked children very much.

That year, their child Luther was born prematurely and was rather thin.

But after living in the New World for these years, I don’t know whether it is because of the careful care of the two or because of the influence of the high-energy environment of the New World, but he has grown up lively and healthy.

She runs around in the Star Base all day long, and her bright golden-brown curly hair is impressive.

While Hayata and Evelyn were talking about business, the little guy was curiously circling around little Muti.

He also stretched out his finger and gently touched Muti's round cheek.

Little Muti chuckled.

Gordon's eyes suddenly became alert. He used to like this little boy, but now...
"Why don't we take this kid to Yuechen? He's grown up now, and it's time for him to learn how to hone himself in the ice and snow of the everfrost." Gordon said, stroking his chin.

"?"

Evelyn and her husband thought he was joking and didn't take it seriously. Only Hayata could hear the seriousness in Gordon's tone.

Although she didn't understand why Gordon was talking nonsense in a serious manner, she could only turn around and glare at him viciously.

Shut your pig mouth!

Although she still couldn't bear to let go, Hayata finally felt more at ease with Evelyn and her husband helping to take care of the child.

After coming out of their house, Hayata picked up her daughter and nuzzled her cheek.

She had no intention of putting her daughter down from her arms before officially setting off for the Everfrost.

Gordon gave her a strange look and said, "It's not like traveling from the Old World to the New World and having to cross an ocean.

Didn’t the Commander-in-Chief say that a fixed airship route would be established between the Xingchen and Yuechen bases? We can come back anytime we want, and it will only take a few days of floating in the sky.

Whenever you miss Mumu, just find time to come back and see him.

When you were doing rehabilitation training, you went to the hunting ground all day long, but I didn't see you being so troubled?"

After hearing this, Hayata angrily stepped on Gordon and left angrily with her daughter in her arms.

I was indeed a little crazy during that period of time. I even forgot about my daughter because I was so busy practicing sword skills. But didn’t I come to my senses later?
My daughter is not a Puzzle Pig. I can pick her up and rub her when I remember her, and let her run around when I don’t remember her.

No, I have to make a schedule in the future and come back to accompany my daughter when I don’t have any tasks.
Gordon didn't quite understand why Hayata was angry. He was still thinking seriously about how to take Luther away.

If I take the initiative to accept Luther as my disciple, can I take that guy away?
No, no, you are still a little young, only six or seven years old. Your bones and muscles haven't fully developed yet. It's ridiculous to start training so early.

If that guy was a few years older, I would have taken him directly to the Everfrost.
