Chapter 233 Sealing the Window
When the soldiers saw the chickens in the hut, their eyes turned bloodshot, as if burning with rage, and they wished they could cook the chickens on the spot.
"Brother Zhou, are all these chickens brought back to the unit?" A soldier standing behind Zhou Tian asked expectantly, his arm around Zhou Tian's shoulder.
"Stop looking so greedy. While food is indeed scarce at the base, it doesn't have to be this embarrassing."
Zhou Tian glanced helplessly at the soldiers behind him. Anyone who didn't know better would think that bandits had invaded the village.
The soldier laughed sheepishly, "We were just craving something good. We haven't had a proper meal in a month. If we take these chickens back, we should be able to get some to try."
"Half of them still need to be sent back. Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and put the chickens in the cages, and get back to the base as soon as possible."
Zhou Tian assigned tasks: one person was responsible for catching chickens, and the remaining three were responsible for transporting the sheet metal needed by the three families to each family.
Ye Jingmo sent messages to Qin Yu and Liang Zi, informing them that the sheet metal had been delivered to their door and reminding them to pick it up.
Wearing protective clothing, Jiang Li laboriously dragged the sheet metal back to the doorway, carefully sprayed it with disinfectant, and only moved it inside after it was almost dry.
Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo decided to start installing the sheet metal from the third floor. The third floor has a large number of windows, which will take a lot of time, and bird attacks are more likely to occur at higher floors.
Jiang Li retrieved an electric drill from her spatial storage, and Ye Jingmo, standing on a ladder, steadily supported the sheet metal and determined the correct position.
She stood below, like a precise craftsman, installing screws at the four corners.
The buzzing sound of the electric drill echoed in the room.
After more than two hours of effort, the windows on the third floor were finally sealed tightly.
The room on the third floor suddenly became pitch black, as if swallowed by endless darkness, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Ye Jingmo turned on the room lights, and the light instantly dispelled the darkness, illuminating the entire room.
Jiang Li touched the hard sheet metal and immediately felt a surge of security. Even if a bird attacked, it would be doomed if it crashed into the sheet metal.
She stayed by the window for a while, then turned around and turned on the supplemental light in the planting trough. Otherwise, if the crops don't see the sun for a long time, their leaves will quickly turn yellow and they won't be able to grow normally.
The two worked non-stop for several hours and finally managed to seal all the windows in the house.
Jiang Li opened the group chat, took a picture of the sealed window, and sent it out. "We've sealed the window. How's your progress?"
Qin Yu was the first to chime in: "How did you guys move so fast? We're still on the first floor, and we haven't even finished yet."
Qin Yue followed up, saying, "I took a break halfway through. Hammering nails was so tiring; my hands were numb."
Liangzi also spoke up quietly: "Our house is almost finished, just one floor left. We're worried about birds attacking, so we don't dare to stop and keep working hard to finish."
Jiang Li reminded her, "It would be best to finish it today, so you can feel more at ease later."
Qin Yue replied: "We will hurry up. The base has already issued a notice about the bird attack."
I just checked the base's online store; all the grain is sold out, and the price of sheet metal, a window sealing material, has skyrocketed. Luckily, Sister Jiang Li, you're well-informed, otherwise we'd be spending a fortune.
Jiang Li quickly typed out a message: "It's fortunate that Zhou Tian provided the information in time, but it's a pity that there are no bird-repelling devices available for purchase. If we had the devices, we would feel much more at ease."
