Chapter 671
"And I've asked the survivors. Over the past seven or eight years, the island has experienced natural disasters like acid rain, high temperatures, extreme cold, drought, and tsunamis, but they've been shorter than ours. The impact on them on the island wasn't as significant, and it feels more suitable for human survival."
Doctor Wei shook his head. "That's not necessarily true. Settling on this small island is our only option. A single major hurricane and tsunami would be enough to destroy our ship. We were lucky to have made it to Pirate Island this time."
Otherwise, you will be like some ships that drift into the depths of the sea and cannot find the way back.
Even if there are planting and breeding facilities and seawater purification technology on the mother ship, there will probably be a lot of deaths.
Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu both had heavy expressions on their faces.
The sea breeze blew, the leaves rustled, and the golden sunlight shone on Dr. Wei's face, making him look particularly amiable.
Finally, he changed the subject and asked Zhou Shuwan seemingly casually, "Xiao Wan, I heard that the two people who died a few days ago were both old acquaintances of yours?"
Zhou Shuwan's face was filled with a hint of melancholy at the right moment, and he sighed softly: "Yes, we are old classmates. We haven't seen each other for more than nine years. This reunion is also a happy occasion. I didn't expect them to be so soon..."
She didn't finish her words, but just shook her head slightly, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Doctor Wei also shook his head. "I heard that Lin Youyang was your boyfriend. You were young at the time and didn't know his character. The better for him. The worse for him."
Zhou Shuwan smiled faintly and said nothing.
Doctor Wei tentatively asked, "We still have a lot of breadfruit. Would your family like to exchange it for some? I've tried some and they taste better than the mutant potatoes. I'd like to exchange for more, but we don't have enough."
Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "You've been a doctor on the mothership for so many years, and you must have saved a lot of supplies. We have five or six people in our family, young and old, and we can only fill our stomachs on weekdays. As for exchanging breadfruit, we don't have that much supplies."
Doctor Wei smiled and shook his head, saying meaningfully, "You and Xiao Qi are very capable. Look at our warship. Apart from your family, who else can afford to stockpile a cruise ship on their own? Young people are just too modest! However, in today's world, it's right to cry poor outside, but you can't show off your wealth! Otherwise, you'll attract the attention of those with ulterior motives!"
He portrays an elder who speaks sincerely and considers the younger generations carefully.
Zhou Shuwan looked at him with a smile and nodded in agreement: "Doctor Wei is right."
There was a barely perceptible coldness in her eyes.
They planned for several days, but unexpectedly, it was the highly respected Dr. Wei on the mothership who jumped out in the end.
Could he be the backup plan that Lin Youyang has left?
Dr. Wei didn't chat with her much, just casually chatting with her. He quickly picked up a few breadfruits that had been bitten by insects on the ground and left.
Other soldiers also came to drive Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu away: "This breadfruit tree is now the most important asset on the island. Doctor Zhou, you should take a look and leave, otherwise you will be sued by someone with ulterior motives."
Breadfruit is now the most important staple food, and countless people are spying on it inside and out.
When Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu came here to wander around, there were patrolling soldiers watching in the corner, fearing that they would climb up the tree to reach the breadfruit.
The trees are now bearing their second batch of fruit, but it will take another two months to mature.
The fruits are very small now and still green.
Zhou Shuwan understood their responsibilities, apologized, and left with Mu Mu.
Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu returned to their residence and told their family in detail about their encounter with Dr. Wei.
After hearing this, Qi Mingyu frowned, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "Doctor Wei's probing intentions are obvious. He is highly respected on the mothership and usually appears gentle and harmless, but his questions go straight to the core. Especially when he mentioned the cruise ship and the supply reserves, it's obvious that he is trying to find out our secrets."
