Chapter 232 1 at a loss
Jiang Li pursed her lips and asked, "Does the base have any machines to drive away birds?"
Zhou Tian shook his head helplessly and replied, "After receiving news from the nearby base, we immediately searched through the machines we found, but unfortunately we couldn't find an ultrasonic device that could be used to scare away birds."
Fortunately, we had experts who could build the destroyer. They reassembled the usable machines and managed to produce five destroyers with great difficulty.
These five instruments can't even fully cover the base's area, and the base treats them like treasures, let alone asking to borrow even one.
Jiang Li lowered her head in disappointment, filled with regret. If she had known this would happen, she would have definitely tried to collect some expulsion devices beforehand.
Zhou Tian continued, "The base should issue a notice about the bird attack this afternoon, which will include relevant precautions. Remember to read it."
Ye Jingmo reached out and gently stroked Jiang Li's hand, caressing her silky smooth skin, tenderly comforting her and easing her tension.
Ye Jingmo looked at Zhou Tian with a determined gaze and pressed, "Is there a reason for the bird attack? Or are there any other ways to drive away the birds?"
Zhou Tian seemed to have suddenly thought of something extremely terrifying. His face scrunched up, and his expression was full of disgust.
"Experts dissected the bodies of those birds and found that their brains were infested with a maggot-like parasite."
The sight of those white maggots scurrying about in the brain was horrifying. However, the mechanism by which the parasites caused birds to attack windows is still under investigation.
Currently, there is no effective method, and it's even uncertain whether repellent devices can disperse these birds. After all, it's still unknown whether these parasitized birds retain their original instincts.
Jiang Li complained, "Are we just supposed to sit here and wait to die?"
Zhou Tian replied helplessly, "Although offense is the best defense, our vision and movement are restricted in this foggy weather."
Furthermore, we lack suitable weapons, so defense is the wise choice. I've brought you plenty of sheet metal; don't be stingy with the materials, sealing up several layers of windows will make us safer.”
After learning about the situation at the base, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo sat down and chatted for a while.
Zhou Tian checked the time and realized that a lot of time had passed, so he couldn't delay any longer.
He stood up and said to the two of them, "It's getting late, I have to go back."
Ye Jingmo walked to the refrigerator, took out the slaughtered guinea pig meat and handed it to Zhou Tian, saying, "This is a guinea pig we just killed today. Take it back and test whether the meat is safe before you eat it."
Jiang Li took out a bag containing half a pound of green vegetables and handed it to Zhou Tian, saying, "This is the green vegetables, and this is a cage for the chickens to prevent them from coming into contact with the dense fog over a large area."
She picked up the sealed wooden box that Ye Jingmo had made and placed it at Zhou Tian's feet, adding, "This wooden box only has a door in the front, and when it's closed, it's just as tight, without any gaps."
Zhou Tian carefully sealed the vegetables and meat separately in the plastic bags he brought, and then used a vacuum cleaner to remove all the air from inside.
Jiang Li stared intently at the portable vacuum machine in Zhou Tian's hand, her eyes filled with intense interest, as if she had discovered some novel treasure.
Zhou Tian noticed Jiang Li's expression, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he said, "I'll definitely bring you one next time I have the chance. This vacuum sealer is very useful; it can extend the shelf life of food."
After saying goodbye to the two, Zhou Tian carried the wooden box in his left hand and the bag in his right hand and went out.
The soldiers standing outside were envious of Zhou Tian's hands, which were full of treasures.
Zhou Tian tossed the bag to a thin soldier and strode toward the hut.
