Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1233 The Commander-in-Chief Came and the Commander-in-Chief Left

The group deliberately stayed away from the area where the unknown orcs appeared and continued to collect furs and various supplies.

In this icy and snowy land, they unexpectedly discovered a large number of exposed mineral veins and clusters.

Gordon tried digging a few pieces and was surprised to find that the quality of the ore here was quite high, and he could even dig up rare ores such as scarlet iris.

This is unreasonable. Logically, this kind of ore should only appear in special areas with unstable geology such as volcanoes, or in extremely deep underground caves.

The appearance of scarlet iris in the open air may mean that this ice field has undergone very drastic geological changes?

The hunters couldn't figure out the reason for a moment, so they had to put the matter aside for the time being and continue with the work at hand.

As the compiler, Ai Bo carefully recorded this point.

They set out from early morning and swept all the way until dusk, only when the two sleds pulled by the hounds were completely loaded and the hunters and cats were also fully loaded with supplies did they set out on their return journey.

Dozens of high-quality furs, precious minerals used as specimens, piles of raw meat, honey, medicinal herbs produced in the ice field, and snow sprouts that looked edible.
There are still many things they don’t recognize. As long as they look useful, they will take some with them. Maybe they can find some use for them.

When passing by a sulfur hot spring on the way back, Feng Ying saw several cute golden monkeys taking a bath, and she didn't let them go.

He ran over excitedly, caught it with a capture net, tied it up, and threw it on the sled.

He said he would take it back to the base to pair it with the silver monkey.

When she saw groups of penguins, she wanted to catch them, but was stopped by Gordon.

There was too much cargo for the hounds to pull, so the hunters had to push the sled and walk slowly. Fortunately, they were not too far from the Yuechen stronghold at this time.

Before it got completely dark, we finally made it back to the base.

The leader of the supply squad was shocked by the amount of supplies brought back by the Silver Edge Squad, and he quickly arranged for personnel to take over the processing of furs, food ingredients, etc., while at the same time speeding up the revision of the subsequent resource collection plan.

What limits the amount of materials that can be collected is not the abundance of various resources in the permafrost, nor the strength of the hunters, but their carrying and transportation capabilities.

She planned to have the transport team set out with the hunters, which should greatly improve efficiency.

Thanks to the active efforts of hunters and transport teams, a large amount of basic resources are continuously filled into the warehouse.

As the monitor of the supplies team, she has a hamster-like personality. She feels satisfied from the bottom of her heart as she watches the numbers on the inventory sheet continue to increase.

With sufficient supply of materials, all work within the Yuechen base was able to progress rapidly.

A large amount of thick fur from ice jackals and top-grade fur from snow deer were processed uniformly. With the help of alchemists, the speed of nitre production was greatly accelerated.

As the cold wave has passed, the weather has been sunny these days, and the open space in the Yuechen stronghold is filled with snow-white thick furs and leathers drying in the sun.

Afterwards, the craftsmen and Elu tailors worked overtime to produce a large number of [Ice Wolf] cold-proof clothing, which were distributed to everyone.

When the commander-in-chief and his men arrived by airship, the bloated figures wearing countless layers of clothing and cold-proof cloaks were no longer visible in the Yuechen base.

The wall in the south of the stronghold is being built in an orderly manner, and the expansion of the residential area is also proceeding simultaneously.

With the support of sufficient high-quality ore, the technical team leader successfully developed a large steam engine. With the support of surging steam power, the problem of house heating was completely solved and the efficiency of the processing room was greatly improved.

The commander-in-chief was extremely satisfied with the progress of various affairs in the Yuechen base.

Originally, he planned to personally stay at the front-line stronghold Yuechen for a period of time, coordinate and command various affairs, and then return to the base camp Xingchen stronghold after all work was on track.

Now it seems that this is no longer necessary.

Even without the intervention of us old guys, the young guys did a good job.

Due to the low priority of the project, the headquarters has not yet been built, and there is only a huge wooden table on the reserved space.

I didn’t even dare put a map on the table because it would be blown away by the cold wind.

The commander-in-chief didn't care. He held a cadre meeting wearing a thick cold-proof cloak.

"Tomorrow, I will prepare to return to Xingchen."

The commander-in-chief's first words made the logistics squad leader unable to hold his composure.

The dark circles under her eyes were so thick that they couldn't even hide her dark skin. "No. Commander-in-Chief, if you go back, who will lead Yuechen's construction and investigation work?"

The commander-in-chief crossed his arms and smiled, "Didn't you do a great job? Just follow your original way."

Gordon, the leader of the second group, and the leader of the technical class all nodded.

Only the leader of the logistics squad wanted to protest.

There are many cadres in the Yuechen stronghold, but Master Yuanye has long disappeared, the leader of the second phase group is obsessed with blacksmithing, the leader of the technical class is concerned about the steam engine, and the leader of the investigation class takes people out for a run all day long.

I'm the only one who's responsible for administrative coordination!

“Haha, it’s really rare to see your expression like this.” The commander-in-chief, who was in a good mood, smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I will leave enough people.

You can assign the material work to him."

The commander-in-chief patted the shoulder of a middle-aged man in his forties next to him.

Of course the leader of the supplies squad knew this guy. He was one of the backbone members of the fourth term of the regiment and a very reliable guy. He felt very confident in handing over the work of supplies coordination to him.

She breathed a sigh of relief. "It's just right that you're here. I'll leave the supply station to you!"

In this way, half of the burden on my shoulders was lifted at once.

The man who became the person in charge of the supply station shrugged. This was what he was there to do.

"I came here with many scholars and editors. The ecological environment of the permafrost is special, so the existence of the Ecological Research Institute is very necessary.

The director is old, so I won't let him come here to suffer the cold. But the old guy is angry. Hahaha, leader of the third group, you will be in charge of this."

The elegant female scholar tightened her cold-proof cloak and nodded with a bitter face.

Although it was interesting to study the ecology of new areas, she was most afraid of the cold.

"Alva, you will be in charge of the editors as usual and assist the investigation team leader in his work."

"no problem!"

Alva looked very excited and couldn't wait to go to the wild to investigate.

The most important thing is that this time he was the only one who came here with the commander-in-chief by airship, and Rania was left in Xingchen due to her duties as a sheriff.

Who else can take care of me! Who else!!!

"Relying solely on airships may not have enough capacity, so I have arranged a speedboat to travel between the stars and the moon." The commander-in-chief continued.

"Trading ships will come and go regularly." The middle-aged crew member smiled and said, "If you need any goods, please tell me in advance."

"As for everyone's safety and the front-line investigation work, it is left to you." The commander-in-chief looked at Gordon and Feng Ying beside him.

Gordon nodded, and Feng Ying gave a thumbs up confidently.

The personnel brought by the commander-in-chief filled the last vacancy in the Yuechen stronghold. A complete command system has been established. Everyone only needs to perform their duties, and Yuechen will be able to operate smoothly.

"Well, we're still lacking a true leader."

The commander-in-chief pondered for a moment, and finally pointed to Gordon, "Gordon, it's you. You have the final say on Yuechen's investigation."

Gordon was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then thought about it and nodded in agreement without refusing.

The commander-in-chief showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Protect this place and lead everyone forward."
