"Wei Di, how is he?" In order to ease the embarrassment, Jiao Yue took the initiative to ask.
"He surrendered and has performed meritorious service. He should be able to seek a reduced sentence."
Jiao Yue looked sad: "It's not his fault. If I had known about his mother's condition earlier, maybe this wouldn't have happened."
"It has nothing to do with you. This is his own choice." Huo Yu took a sip of Youyou milk, "Wait, how do you know about his mother? Were you not unconscious at that time?"
Jiao Yue nodded: "I couldn't open my eyes at that time, but I could hear, and my consciousness was half asleep."
"How did you get shot like that?"
Jiao Yuehou said fearfully: "At that time, I was hiding in the blind spot of the criminals in the car and sending emergency communications to the 009 scientific research station, but I didn't expect that there were people guarding outside the car. They accidentally saw me and shot me."
"
"That shot was aimed at my heart. Fortunately, Wei Di sacrificed his life to push me away and missed the vital point."
Huo Yu was slightly startled, but he had never heard Wei Di say this before.
The beauty of human nature does not lie in the noble qualities that appear on the surface, but in the goodness of that moment.
This kid Wei Di can still be saved.
Jiao Yue said with some hesitation: "I remember that you said that Wei Di's mother's illness might be better, so you really wanted to comfort him."
"Of course it's true." Huo Yu stuffed a piece of apple into his mouth, "He has already surrendered, why should I lie to him?"
"Where did this turn of events come from? Are you going to pay him this money?"
Huo Yu shook his head decisively.
It's not impossible to pay for Wei Di's mother's medical treatment, but it's only a few million, and the elders in my family who are doing business can easily spend it.
But, he won't do that.
Huo Yu could persuade him to surrender and turn around, but he couldn't pay to save his old mother's life. These were two different things.
What's more, after the matter escalated, the Chinese people and the Ice Keepers organization were worried about his mother's illness, so where would it be his turn?
Seeing that Huo Yu was not very interested, Jiao Yue stopped mentioning the topic.
She is an icekeeper in the field and interacts with all kinds of people from all over the world every day, so her emotional intelligence is naturally very high.
"Where did those criminals come from?"
"I don't know." Jiao Yue frowned, "But they didn't bring any supplies and came here on snowmobiles. I guess their hiding place is not too far from here."
Huo Yu also frowned. If it was as Jiao Yue suspected, then the 249 scientific research station would be in trouble.
To be honest, he would rather face that whole pack of wolves than run into an illegal organization.
Seeing Huo Yu's silence, Jiao Yue enlightened in an empathetic way: "Don't worry, you saved my life. I won't sit back and ignore it. When I get back, I will apply to the organization to have the peacekeeping navy come here to clean up the illegal organization."
"Then I'll trouble you." Huo Yu responded with a smile, "But my outpost is too small and of little value. I don't think any illegal organization will attack me. It will be in vain to provoke us icekeepers."
Jiao Yue nodded in agreement.
Although the illegal organizations are cruel, they will not attack the ice guards easily, just like the most vicious wanted criminals will not dare to attack the police easily.
After all, the polar peacekeeping navy is not a vegetarian. They are elites selected from the elite forces of various countries. They only serve for three years before being rotated back to the country. They are all young and strong elite forces.
However, the Polar Peacekeeping Navy is stationed far away in the Arctic, and its headquarters is located outside the Arctic Circle. There are always times when it is beyond reach.
You still need to be strong in order to forge iron. It’s time to accumulate more recognition points. At least you must first redeem the [Eagle Eye Bow] so that you can fight back.
If he could wait until the two ferocious beasts, Xiaoyu and Xiaotuan, reached adulthood, Huoyu would be happy to tell the invading criminals what cruelty means.
"Hey, that's right." Jiao Yue seemed to have thought of something and asked excitedly, "I think you are the only one at your scientific research station. It is not full yet. Do you want to consider me?"
"What do you mean?" Huo Yu hesitated, "You want to come to our scientific research station?"
"Yes, yes, how about it?" Jiao Yue's eyes curled into crescents and she looked at him expectantly, "You can still be the station chief, and I can be the leader of the action team. You will be in charge of the scientific research station, and I will
Go out on a mission."
"This... I am just a junior ice guard, and you are an intermediate ice guard, and you are an experienced field staff. Are you underestimating your talents?"
Huo Yu's promotion order hasn't come out yet, and the internal promotion process of the Ice Guards is very strict, and it's better to do nothing than to waste, so he doesn't know that he is also an intermediate Ice Guardsman.
"It doesn't matter. I have long wanted to find an interesting scientific research station to settle down. In the past few years, I have spent every day either on the boat or in the car. I am a little too tired..."
What Jiao Yue said is true. If the biggest enemies of the ice guards at the base are loneliness and derailment from society, then what those ice guards in the field fear most is displacement and instability.
What's more, the Huoyu people are good and capable, and they have two cute little beasts. Although the 249 scientific research station is only an outpost level, the conditions are unexpectedly good, all of which make Jiao Yue tempted.
Huo Yu fell into deep thought and consideration.
In fact, if your scientific research station needs to be expanded and upgraded, recruiting other ice keepers is inevitable.
The functions and responsibilities of the outpost-level scientific research station are limited, and he can keep busy by himself.
After upgrading to the site level or even the base level, you will have your own armed team, supply team, liaison officers, etc... It is impossible for one person to take care of them all.
Moreover, Jiao Yue is an experienced and excellent icekeeper, and he is very comfortable to get along with. He is also a rare talent. It would be a lie to say that he is not interested.
"Sorry, Captain Jiao, I have no intention of recruiting more teammates at the moment."
Huo Yu thought about it a lot, but still chose to refuse.
There are too many secrets in him. Even if he really wants to recruit other team members, at least he has to wait until the 249 scientific research station is upgraded to the site level.
At that time, you can have more private space to hide the existence of the system.
Jiao Yue felt a little aggrieved and disappointed in her heart, but she still said softly: "It doesn't matter, I'll just mention it casually. Stationmaster Huo doesn't need to worry about it."
"However." Huo Yu raised his head and looked at Jiao Yue, "If my scientific research station expands its team in the future and needs other ice keepers to join, then I will be the first to invite you."
"If you don't dislike the dilapidation of the 249 scientific research station at that time, then come be my partner!"
Jiao Yue smiled pleasantly and said seriously: "Are you telling the truth? Aren't you trying to deal with me?"
Huo Yu said seriously: "I never tell lies to my partners."
Then he added: "If you have no mission in the future, or if you are passing by here, you can come to my place to rest and be a guest. You are always welcome at the 249 Scientific Research Station."
"It's a deal?"
“It’s a deal!”
The two looked at each other and smiled, the previous embarrassment disappeared, and the relationship between the two became familiar.
At this moment, the sound of a car suddenly sounded outside.
Almost at the same time, the monitoring system of the 249 scientific research station began to alarm again.
Huo Yu stood up suddenly.
The snowstorm hasn't stopped yet, but someone is coming?
