They hung all the seafood they caught on the deck to dry. The bright red shrimps, plump fish, and various shellfish emitted an attractive luster in the sun.
The other survivors did not have enough space to dry the fish, so they could only use fishing nets, old wooden boards, or even large pieces of plastic sheets to enclose an area around the boat, put the caught fish, shrimp, and shellfish in it, and eat them as they pleased.
They carefully guarded this hard-earned food, fearing that it would be washed away by the waves or stolen by others.
The air was filled with a strong smell of the sea, and people got used to it after smelling it for a while.
If Zhong Tiyun had to be surrounded by a pile of smoked fish every day before the end of the world, she would definitely find it difficult to even sleep.
But now, “if you go into an abalone shop for a long time, you won’t smell the stench anymore.”
Even Zhou Jianghai joked: "The ancients really didn't lie to me!"
On the contrary, whoever has the most fish drying in the sun will definitely be envied by everyone.
Without land, the only food that humans can use to fill their stomachs is creatures in the sea.
While Zhong Tiyun was sorting out the dried fish, she was listening to the conversation between Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu.
Helicopters took off from the warship every day, which caused panic among the people at first.
Civilians, in particular, were afraid that the warships would find suitable land and abandon them.
But after observing for a few days, helicopters flew back and forth several times a day, but the warship was still parked here steadily.
The uneasy crowd finally relaxed slightly.
This is what Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu were talking about.
Now, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu take turns going out fishing every day.
Fishing is hard work, and Qi Mingyu didn't want Zhou Shuwan to suffer outside, but Grandma Pang was getting weaker and weaker. She was much sleepier during the day and had no appetite.
Therefore, everyone wanted Qi Mingyu to spend more time with Grandma Pang on the cruise ship.
Today, Zhou Shuwan went fishing and came back with some latest news.
"We got the news from Zhipeng. They say the warships are sending helicopters to the surrounding areas every day. One reason is to check if the underwater volcanic eruption has improved. The other reason is to search for new land."
Qi Mingyu nodded: "That's as it should be. I just don't know how the helicopter fuel problem was solved."
They only flew the helicopter twice and consumed a lot of fuel.
If twenty warships are sent out at once, can the fuel handle it?
Zhou Shuwan shook his head: "I also asked Zhipeng, but Zhipeng said it was confidential and not known to most people. But I guess the warship should have its own oil field at sea!"
When the doomsday prophecy first appeared, the country should have made several preparations.
She heard from Zhipeng and Xue Tao that in addition to this warship, the country also built underground shelters, sent several other fleets out to sea, established bases, and used various other methods to use as many possibilities as possible to preserve the flame of civilization.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this warship knows the location of the offshore oil fields.
I just don’t know whether this submarine volcanic eruption will have any impact on the oil fields.
In fact, they are now in the deep sea area. If there is a big tsunami or another underwater volcanic eruption, it will be a disaster.
"Life in the deep sea is much harder than on land." Zhong Tiyun sighed as she listened, her tone weary. "Before, on land, at least I had a fixed place to live. Now I have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate on this boat. It feels really cramped."
"Our family is fine. Those who only have a small fishing boat and have their entire family, young and old, squeezed on it find it difficult to even use the toilet." Zhou Jianghai nodded silently and said.
How to solve it!
Just throw it into the sea...
In the face of life and death, everything else is trivial.
"We can't take care of other things. We can only collect more supplies. No matter where we go in the future, we must have enough food and drink."
Finally, Zhong Tiyun said.
Everyone nodded.
In fact, before, when Zhou Shuwan was at the seaside, every time he went out to sea to fish, he would use the ability of space to quietly collect a batch of sea fish directly from the sea into the space.
These fish will die immediately once they enter the space.
The state when you take it out is exactly the same as when you put it in, very fresh.
Living by the sea, she doesn't need to collect fish too often. She only needs to collect once a month, and the fish she collects is enough for her family to eat for a lifetime.
However, this time, Zhou Shuwan had a strong sense of crisis.
So, these days, every time she went fishing with Zhipeng and the others, she would use the space to collect a large number of fish.
This batch of fish was simply piled up in the corner of the space, where they wouldn't rot anyway.
While Zhou Shuwan was cleaning up the fish on the deck, he was thinking to himself, should he take this opportunity to find out where the warship's offshore oil fields are?
If one day, an underwater volcano erupts in the ocean, and she collects all the crude oil in space before the oil field is destroyed, wouldn't it be possible to use it as capital for a comeback later?
However, among all of them, Zhipeng was the most trusted and had the highest status on the warship, but even he could not find out such information.
Moreover, whether the ocean would suffer another major disaster was just her own guess. The warships might not agree, and would not allow her to plunder such an important resource.
Zhou Shuwan sighed lightly.
Qi Mingyu glanced at her and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Shuwan saw that his parents were talking over there and didn't pay attention to this side, so he said what he had just thought.
Qi Mingyu seemed to be lost in thought.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Shuwan noticed that his expression was not right.
Qi Mingyu paused, then looked at her seriously: "Actually, there is something I haven't told you."
Zhou Shuwan looked at him intently.
Qi Mingyu said softly, "Do you know why the teacher and the others came to the J City base?"
Zhou Shuwan raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it because the J City base has the most standardized management and the survivors have the best spirits? And it can also accommodate more than 10,000 survivors?"
Qi Mingyu organized his words and said, "That's part of the reason. I didn't know it before, but after the base was gone and Xiao Xiao and the head teacher disappeared, Xiao Liu finally told me the truth. He said that the country had secretly surveyed the terrain across the country and felt that the area around J City would be the last to hold out after the apocalypse."
Zhou Shuwan was startled, then suddenly realized.
Yes. J City is located in the Central Plains, far away from the coastline, with mountains to the north.
