Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1251 Busy Stars

When setting off back to the Star Base, all the loads on the airship, except for the personnel being transferred back to Star, were used to transport food.

Nothing fancy, just mostly frozen meat, big chunks of frozen meat.

The biological resources of the permafrost are actually quite rich, and it is a natural refrigerator, so there is no need to worry about preservation.

By the time the meat is transported back to the stars, it probably won't have had time to thaw.

The leader of the supply squad calculated that this batch of frozen meat could increase the food inventory of the Star Base by about 10 percent.

But this support can only be temporary.

Gordon and his team decided to take the trouble to transport this batch of supplies, the main purpose of which was to reassure people.

The current population of the 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 scarce and reserves are decreasing, it is inevitable that people are uneasy. I just hope that the arrival of this batch of supplies can make everyone feel a little more at ease.

If the worst happens, some people will have to be sent back to the Old World.

This may not sound like a big deal, but you have to know that the New World Survey Team is a group of elites. Except for a very small number of family members, there are no so-called idle people.

The loss of talent was the heaviest blow to the New World Survey Team.

After more than two days of flying, Ansher and others arrived at the Star Base with a slightly heavy heart.

It turned out that the situation was not as serious as they had imagined.

There was no such depressed scene where people were unable to make ends meet and were in panic.

Restaurants like Weapon and Mao Shan Ting are still open, but the variety of dishes is not as rich as before.

Before the hunters accept a mission and set out, if they want to order a large and nutritious cat meal, the chef can still fill you up.

The leader of the supplies squad, who was worried about the inventory situation, rushed to the headquarters immediately to ask the commander-in-chief about the situation.

It turned out that they seemed to have misunderstood.

Due to drastic climate changes and the arrival of a cold wave, the Star Stronghold did encounter a food crisis.

The food sources of the Star Stronghold mainly come from three directions.

The farm established by the Institute of Plant Growth provides staple foods such as wheat, various fruits and vegetables.

Hunters enter the ancient tree forest to hunt for meat.

And the fishing fleet that cooperates with the fish basket group to bring back the catch.

The unusual cold wave caused a decrease in farm production, and the fishing season became chaotic, resulting in a decrease in fish catches. In addition, the hunters in the Star Stronghold were basically all involved in the task of resolving monster riots in various places, and there was a shortage of manpower to replenish meat.

All these combined together caused a significant decline in the star's food reserves.

However, these problems are solvable.

The small ancient giant trees cultivated by the Institute of Plant Growth are very adaptable, and the new batch of crops will mature soon.

Fishing fleets can also catch large quantities of fish as long as they take the time to go out to sea.

It is not difficult for hunters to hunt. As long as they put in manpower, what is the difficulty in dragging back a few herbivorous dragons?
To put it bluntly, the so-called food reserves are a kind of emergency "redundancy". The investigation team has more important things to deal with right now, so the commander-in-chief used part of the reserves.

Therefore, in the letter sent to Yuechen, the commander-in-chief only casually mentioned the inventory issue and did not directly request Yuechen to provide assistance.

It can be said that Gordon and the leader of the logistics squad over-interpreted it.

"What the hell is going on? I rushed back in such a hurry!" The leader of the logistics squad had a frantic expression as if asking, "What on earth am I doing?!"

The commander-in-chief stopped smiling and showed a serious expression, "It's good that you're back. We've been in a lot of trouble recently.

Due to the cold wave and the monster unrest, there was indeed a gap in the income and expenditure of basic supplies such as food.

Although it has not yet reached the level that affects the normal operation of the Star Base, in order to avoid future accidents, it is best to fill this hole as soon as possible.

Material allocation is your strong point, you take over this part, and I will arrange the personnel."

The leader of the supplies squad sighed, "Okay, it doesn't matter where you work overtime."

"By the way, how many people did you bring back this time?" asked the commander-in-chief.

"Gordon and Gene are left in Chenluo, along with twelve hunters. The other hunters and most of the compilers have returned."

"Hahaha! Then we will be well-managed all of a sudden!" A loud and rough laugh was heard.

The leader of the logistics squad turned around in surprise and asked, "Captain? You're back too?"

"I was called back by this guy!" The commander-in-chief bared his white teeth, raised his big chin and pointed at the commander-in-chief.

"Everyone is busy. We can't let you be the only one to have some free time." The commander-in-chief snorted.

"By the way, where is Mecca (Dragon Hunter), has he been called back as well?"

The commander-in-chief crossed his arms and nodded, "Well, Yuanye sent back a letter, which mentioned a certain 'singing'. I am a little concerned, so I asked Mecca to investigate."

After briefly explaining to the Grand Commander, the Commander-in-Chief turned around and continued to speak to the Logistics Squad Leader:

"Many more people came back than I expected, and some of the high-difficulty tasks that had been piled up were finally able to be arranged.

But the monster disturbance is not just happening here, it may also happen in the Everfrost Land. As two high-ranking hunters, I still feel a little uneasy."

The commander-in-chief pondered for a moment and decided, “Well, let me send the swordsmanship master over.

That guy can't even use a catapult, and he's too old to be sent out for field research or hunting. It's better for him to go to Yuechen to help look after the house."

The leader of the supply squad shrugged, "You have the final say."

After returning to the Star Base, Hayata did not go home. After saying hello to his companions, he hurried to Evelyn and his wife's home.

However, the couple was not at home.

In today's New World, monsters are causing unrest and trouble is everywhere.

As the high-end combat force of the Star Stronghold, the couple naturally could not sit idle, and were sent out by the Commander-in-Chief the day before yesterday.

Not only them, but even the alcohol team who had just recovered from their injuries were no exception.

Hayata, who knocked on the door for a long time but couldn't open it, became a little panicked.

So where is my daughter? Where is my baby girl?!
After asking around, I learned that the commander-in-chief had specially arranged personnel and facilities to take care of young children whose parents were too busy to take care of them.

Little Mutti and Evelyn and her husband's child, little Luther, were taken there.

Hayata followed the address and hurried to the facility commonly known as the "nursery", and finally saw the baby she had been thinking about day and night.

Responsible for taking care of these children are several women with rich experience in childcare and Elu, who has received special training.

Mutti's nanny and the Sterlings' cat housekeeper are both here.

Hayata breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her chubby daughter in the cradle trying to get up but could only roll around because her limbs were not strong enough.

He gently picked up his daughter and kissed her, rubbed little Luther's head, and thanked all the aunties and Elu in the nursery one by one.

Although it is not as reassuring as keeping it by your side and taking care of it yourself, it is still a reassuring place.

The nurse took Muti from Hayata and while feeding her, she smiled and said, “Miss Hayata, our hands are not strong enough.

We can't help with hunting or fighting.

But when it comes to taking care of children, no one in the entire New World is more experienced than us.

You hunters, you fight monsters desperately in the wild, my husband, and the craftsmen, you build desperately in the ice and snow, and the scholars, doctors, and drivers...
We are the same, we will do our best to take good care of these children."

"Yeah, don't worry!"

"Leave it to us, meow!"

Hayata was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then smiled and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you all."

Didn't stay here long.

She has more important things to do now than accompanying her daughter. Only by getting rid of those monsters that suddenly became agitated as soon as possible can the Star Stronghold be safe enough.
