Chapter 637
Now that Zhipeng and Xue Tao are both injured, living on the island will be beneficial for their recovery.
However, they thought the same as the Zhou family, that they had to be close to the shore so that when danger came, they could take a small boat and escape!
The space they had on the warship was very cramped, and the air was damp and musty.
When I actually set foot on the island to live, I suddenly felt that even the air was much fresher.
There are houses built by the Japanese here.
The Japanese had no resources, so they used the trees and stones on the island to build wooden huts.
After the people on the warship moved in, they only needed to make slight modifications before they could live there.
Zhipeng and his friends were assigned a small wooden house closest to the outside.
This is the room used for duty and it is very dilapidated.
This small house was originally used by the Japanese for duty, and it has long been dilapidated and leaking everywhere.
The wooden walls were mottled and peeling, and the thatch on the roof was so sparse that rainwater could easily seep in.
Zhipeng looked at this simple residence and couldn't help but sigh.
He was carried here by Xue Dong and Qi Mingyu.
The injuries on my body haven't healed completely yet, and I'm afraid the cold will come to this broken house again.
Xue Dong helped to clean up the remaining debris with quick movements, like an experienced farmer.
Although the house is not good, he is still very happy to be able to return to land after so many years.
"This place is indeed quite shabby," Yuxuan said as she cleared the rubble from the ground. "But it's much better than being on a warship. At least we can get some sun."
She looked up at the sunlight outside, with a hint of relief in her eyes.
The sun shines on my body, making me feel warm. This feeling is something I cannot experience after staying in the cabin for a long time.
To be honest, although the civilians on the mother ship are managed in a militarized manner, it is also humane.
Knowing that most civilians can only sleep in cabins several floors underground, the air is damp.
The deck is also open at certain times to allow ordinary people to go up and get some fresh air.
But there are too many civilians living on the mothership, in order to ensure safety.
There are many places on the mother ship where they are not allowed to go. The restrictions are very strict. Even going to the deck is limited to specific times of the day. After this time, they will not be allowed to go there again.
So, although living on a warship is safe enough, it also lacks freedom!
Otherwise, sailors in the past often sailed on the sea for half a year and then rested at home for half a year in order to balance the feeling of being lost and adrift on the sea.
Under Xue Tao's command, Xue Dong carefully checked the structure of the house and repaired the damaged walls.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu also came to help.
They were busy furnishing the cottage.
Lay out the lounge with the mats and quilts you brought from the cruise ship.
There were some bunk beds on the cruise ship, so we simply moved two down.
In this way, they don't have to move their residence on the mothership. If anything happens, they just have to try their best to get on the mothership.
The wooden house gradually began to look like a home and was no longer so deserted.
"Finally, we have a decent place to live." Zhou Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to Zhipeng and said, "Although this place is simple, it's much better than being on a boat. At least there's sunshine and land, and I can even grow my own vegetables in the future."
Zhipeng forced a smile and nodded weakly: "Yeah, as long as I have a place to stay, I'm content."
In the next few days, everyone was busy tidying up their own residences like Zhipeng and his friends.
The navy has a unified station, but it also helps ordinary people repair houses, make furniture, etc.
The island was bustling with activity.
The Zhou family pitched their tent on the small island that belonged to them, facing the people on the main island from afar.
You can see the other person, but you can't see what they are doing!
This is a good deal for the Zhou family, who have a secret to protect.
Their tents were pitched in a relatively spacious area.
The planting boxes brought from the cruise ship were placed around the island, and the planting area began to be planned.
Qi Mingyu and Zhou Jianghai worked together to build a simple irrigation system.
The land on the island is saline-alkali land, making it difficult to grow crops and harvest.
We can only take one step at a time.
Fortunately, they started a new round of planting on the cruise ship and now moved most of them to the island.
By the way, this small island was named Xiangyang Island by Grandma Pang.
The name of the main island was changed from Riwan Island to Hope Island as early as the first day they moved in.
No matter how desperate the end of the world is, people must always keep hope in their hearts in order to reach the other side of victory!
This is the captain's expectation for everyone! It is also his expectation for himself!
In addition to planting, breeding is also on the agenda.
The Zhou family exchanged a batch of chicken and duck eggs from the warship and prepared to hatch them.
Although there are fertilized eggs in the space, the apocalypse has lasted so long that the chickens and ducks today have mutated compared to before. The chickens and ducks hatched on the island are more adaptable and have better immunity.
Yuxuan, Xue Dong and others also helped collect wild grass on the island, dried it and prepared it for use as feed for chickens and ducks.
Although there are some wild grasses on the island, the species are limited and the nutrition is not comprehensive enough. They need more food sources.
Even though the chickens and ducks are not sure what kind of grass they can eat, such warm weather may be fleeting, so they work very hard to cut and dry the grass, and carefully store the various types of grass separately in preparation for future breeding.
At the same time, Deputy Captain Xiao surveyed the terrain on the island and carefully observed a flat area on the higher west side of the island.
This piece of land has plenty of sunshine and is relatively sheltered from the wind, but the Japanese have built wooden houses on it. What a waste of resources!
He quickly contacted the navy and arranged for personnel to dismantle the wooden house, his tone firm and unquestionable: "We want to use this land for farming!"
The navy, having received the order, was extremely efficient. In a short while, those simple wooden houses were demolished to pieces.
Deputy Captain Xiao looked at the empty flat land with anticipation in his heart. He couldn't wait to plant a good harvest here.
But the biggest problem at the moment is the soil. The soil on the island is poor and cannot be used for planting.
He turned and looked at the mothership anchored not far away. There was soil in the planting area, but not enough. However, things had come to this point, so he could only make do with what he had.
He ordered the navy to dig up some soil from the planting area from the mother ship.
After Zhou Shuwan learned about this, he discussed it with Qi Mingyu and found Deputy Captain Xiao, saying that he was willing to donate half a ton of planting soil that had been stored on his cruise ship to the military.
Deputy Captain Xiao was overjoyed. He had originally planned to transfer soil from the mother ship, which was a time-consuming and laborious project.
Planting on the mothership must absolutely continue.
But both places need soil, and soil is now the most troublesome issue.
Now Zhou Shuwan sent half a ton of soil, which is like timely help!
He hurriedly sent a team to transport the soil to the flat land and prepare to start preliminary experimental planting.
