Chapter 73 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind
"Well, I'm recovering well, but I still don't want to move around, don't blow cold wind, and eat liquid food for another two days." Huo Yu covered Jiao Yue with a quilt and explained the precautions in detail.
Jiao Yue's face turned red, and she nodded in response from time to time.
"Stationmaster Bai and I will go out on patrol later, and these two little guys will stay with you to save you from boredom."
Jiao Yue's eyes flashed with surprise and she nodded her head twice.
Huo Yu took the first aid kit and walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around and said, "Um... Xiaotuan is quite obedient, so don't worry about it too much. This little wolf cub is a bit skinny, so please be more considerate."
Jiao Yue glanced at the cute little fish next to her in confusion, and said puzzledly: "Is there any? The little fish is quite obedient, just a little lively. Don't worry, I will take good care of it."
The corner of Huo Yu's mouth twitched for a while, indicating that he was active, and a little too lively.
Besides, is it what I'm worried about? I'm worried that you'll be angry with it...
After rubbing the two little guys' heads and giving Xiao Yu a warning look, Huo Yu stood up and walked out of the bedroom.
Walking down the stairs, Bai Xiaomo had already cleared the table and was playing with a pipe knife in his hand in a bored manner.
Huo Yu walked over and said doubtfully: "You are also an old icekeeper, what are you doing with this thing? This thing is not useful but it looks good."
"Um, this was seized from that u4000, I forgot to return it." Bai Xiaomo said embarrassedly.
Huo Yu asked curiously: "Can you show it to me?"
"It's not a precious thing, I just gave it to you."
Huo Yu took the tube knife and looked at it carefully.
He was no stranger to this thing. He had secretly bought one when he was a sophomore in middle school. He used it to scare the gangsters who had trouble with him outside school. When Huo Jinghuan found out, he gave him a good beating.
The pipe knife in his hand is much more exquisitely made than the one he bought before, and the blade is also very good. Unlike the one he had before, it was half-blade at best. Not to mention cutting people, it would be difficult to cut watermelons.
"How could this thing appear in the joint team's car?" Huo Yu wondered, "It looks like the standard weapon of those low-level gang members."
Bai Xiaomo blinked: "Could it be left behind by that illegal organization?"
Huo Yu shook his head and said he didn't know either.
After much deliberation, he couldn't find a clue, so he had to ask Bai Xiaomo, "Can you give this to me?"
Although he had no clue, Huo Yu always felt that this thing was not simple, and maybe he could find some clues from it.
Bai Xiaomo waved his hand nonchalantly: "Didn't I tell you that it's not a precious thing? I'll give it to you!"
"I don't want it for nothing." Huo Yu took off the multifunctional survival knife from his waist, "I'll give this to you. I used it to subdue a polar bear!"
This dagger is a white item obtained in a lottery, and the quality is quite good.
But since he stabbed the polar bear with it, Xiao Tuan shivered in fear when he saw the dagger, perhaps because it left the smell of the polar bear's blood.
Huo Yu didn't dare to use the dagger in front of Xiao Tuan even if he kept it, so he might as well give it to Bai Xiaomo. Considering her status and skill, it wouldn't be considered an insult to the dagger.
Bai Xiaomo took the dagger carelessly, his eyes suddenly lit up: "What a knife!"
She tried to cut a strand of hair on her forehead with a dagger, but when she waved her hand, the hair broke off.
Huo Yu looked at it with his scalp numb. No matter how much hair he had, he couldn't mess with it like this. He wasn't afraid of getting bald in the future.
Bai Xiaomo looked at Huo Yu with a smile: "What is this? A token of love?"
Huo Yu said angrily: "Take it away and don't give it back to me."
Bai Xiaomo snickered secretly, Northeastern dialect is indeed contagious.
"Then I'll accept it. For the sake of the good knife you gave me, I can agree to your 'excessive' request." Bai Xiaomo glanced at Huo Yu seductively and said quietly.
Huo Yu's eyes lit up and he said, "Really? Any more is too much?"
Bai Xiaomo was stunned. He didn't expect Huo Yu to be so bold today, so he forced himself to nod his head: "You can go as much as you want."
Huo Yu said sincerely: "Then can you go to the control room to sleep tonight? You snore so loudly at night that I didn't sleep well all night..."
"Didn't you see that this morning, Xiaoyu and Xiaotuan both slept with their ears covered? It's indeed a bit excessive..."
Bai Xiaomo:???
"Go to hell!"
...
Outside the 249 Research Station, above the ice.
"You can tell the depth by inserting it. This thing is so well adjusted." Bai Xiaomo looked at Huo Yu in shock.
Huo Yu's face was expressionless to the point of numbness. He was now deeply aware that if this girl didn't spit out some words of tiger and wolf from her mouth, she would feel uncomfortable all over.
Isn't it just a measuring rod? It has to be said that it can't be seen without spending money.
"It's not very deep. Is this okay? Are you weak? If you can't, let me penetrate you. I'm strong!"
Bai Xiaomo scored twice, and the wheels of the car hit Huo Yu's head.
"Stationmaster Bai, how many years have you not participated in patrol missions?" Huo Yu looked at Bai Xiaomo speechlessly.
Bai Xiaomo counted on his fingers and replied: "It will take three years."
Huo Yu looked shocked: "Your Majesty, Mr. Guigeng?"
Bai Xiaomo looked at him unkindly: "Is it possible to ask a girl's age casually?"
I'm sorry you still know that you are a girl.
"You're not some hidden boss, are you?" Huo Yu looked at her doubtfully, "It's been three years since the Ice Guard was established, and you haven't patrolled in the past three years? Have you been the commander since you joined the company?"
"No, but I did learn to measure ice four years ago, but the technology was not so advanced at that time, and the measuring rod had to touch the sea water."
"Four years? Are you the first batch of preparatory icekeepers?"
Bai Xiaomo nodded.
"Let me do the math. Four years ago, the age limit for preparing to be an icekeeper was 20 years old or above. So you must be at least 24 years old now, right? Tsk tsk tsk..."
Bai Xiaomo's face became gloomy.
Huo Yu felt a chill coming from behind and quickly stopped: "But you still look quite young. You look like a well-developed eighteen-year-old girl at most."
Feeling the cold air behind him easing slightly, Huo Yu let out a long breath.
This woman's moods are more changeable than the Arctic weather.
Pull out the measuring rod on the ground. Under the influence of the [Ice Stabilizer], the thickness of the ice around the 249 scientific research station will always remain unchanged.
"Huh, that's it." Huo Yu wiped the cold sweat on his face, "Let's go, go back and pack up to prepare for the live broadcast."
"Oh." Bai Xiaomo said with little interest, "By the way, why are you doing the live broadcast?"
"Damn...ahem, didn't I tell you? It's to promote the Ice Keeper's cause."
"The idea is good, but it's difficult. The threshold for icekeepers is too high..."
The two walked side by side towards the 249 scientific research station, leaving a series of tight footprints on the snow.
They didn't notice at all that in the sky not far away, the lower lens of a micro drone was pointed at them, constantly circling in the sky to take aerial photos.
The micro-drone also didn't notice that there were more than ten cameras near the 249 scientific research station, hidden in the snow, recording all its movements.
