Chapter 330
Maybe it’s because we are at the seaside, the blue sky, the rolling waves, and the endless sea make all our emotions settle down.
Qi Mingyu said the most beautiful love words to her in his life.
Zhou Shuwan looked back into the other person's eyes and nodded with a smile: "Okay!"
They stayed in a tent by the sea for two days.
During these two days, people dispersed during the day to look for supplies that could be used. After all, the resources in the ocean are very rich, and those who are far inland also lack fish, kelp and other supplies from the sea.
At night, because they were not sure whether this was a safe place, the people in the team arranged shifts and there were people guarding it at all times.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu would also go looking for resources during the day.
However, the sea submerged the entire city, and the area closest to the coastline was a barren wilderness.
You may need to drive dozens or even a hundred kilometers before you see any human habitation.
Therefore, they could not even ask the locals for advice.
They didn't expect this situation when they came out, and they didn't bring a boat, so they couldn't go out to sea to check the situation.
Zhou Shuwan tried the storage capacity of the space again, and he actually sucked in the seawater from the two storage boxes in the space, and took away the fish and shrimp inside, but not many.
As soon as the fish and shrimp entered the space, they died immediately.
Zhou Shuwan deliberately moved them to an inflatable swimming pool, separate from other fish.
Although she had tested the water quality here and it was qualified, she was not sure whether the creatures in the seawater were dangerous.
She plans to give it a try when she returns later.
For two days, except for Zhou Shuwan who made some progress, everyone else was at a loss.
On the fourth day, Zhang Jia looked at the waves crashing against the shore, hesitated for a long time, and was about to ask someone to pack up and go home.
Then I heard the people in the caravan suddenly shout in surprise: "Look, there are people fishing over there."
Everyone was startled and looked up, and sure enough, they saw someone rowing a boat and fishing on the distant sea.
Everyone was happy.
Finally this trip was not in vain!
The rise in sea levels has made it difficult for exploration teams to even find places to explore for groundwater.
"Let's go and drive over there to take a look." Zhang Jia gave an order.
With so many people around, they quickly dismantled the tent, put it on the car, and drove towards the coast.
When they got closer, they found that the boats going out to sea to fish looked like a fleet of fishing boats.
There were all kinds of vehicles of all sizes parked on the shore, including modified four-wheeled vehicles, three-wheeled vehicles, and two-wheeled vehicles.
There were several people holding weapons on guard on the shore, but there were more than a dozen small boats on the sea, full of people cooperating with each other to fish.
Seeing Zhou Shuwan and his team suddenly appear, the people on the shore immediately became alert, raised their guns and pointed them at the group, shouting, "Don't move!"
Zhang Jia and the others were shocked.
I didn't expect that this group of people had hot weapons in their hands.
When the other side raised their weapons, the team on Zhang Jia's side quickly drew out their weapons from their waists and aimed them at the other side.
Zhou Shuwan also took a pistol and stood shoulder to shoulder with Qi Mingyu.
While keeping watch ahead, she observed carefully and felt that this group of people were well-trained and had clear division of labor. They should not be a civilian organization, but at least a team from a small base, working together to search for supplies.
Both sides are tough, but the convoy has obviously more people and more weapons.
The people on the fishing team did not act rashly.
Zhang Jia naturally breathed a sigh of relief. They came to inquire, not to fight with the enemy with firepower.
She immediately said, "Don't get me wrong, we're here to look for supplies too! We're just unfamiliar with the area, so we came here to ask about the situation."
Take the initiative to show weakness first to lower the other party's vigilance.
Sure enough, the people on the opposite side began to relax a little. They glanced at each other, and one of them, a man in his forties with a clear leadership aura, shouted, "Where are you from? What are you doing in our territory?"
Zhang Jia said, "We're extremely short of water there. Life is almost unbearable, especially for the elderly and children at the base. They've all fallen ill due to lack of water. So the base sent us out to find a water source, and we found it by the sea!"
Before he could finish his words, he was laughed at by one of the thin young men opposite him.
"Come to the seashore to look for water? You really are dreaming! Can you drink sea water?"
Zhang Jia remained calm and said, "We found our way here bit by bit. If we had no other options, we certainly wouldn't have come to the beach."
Seeing that they were armed with weapons and only on guard, not actively attacking, the leader began to believe Zhang Jia's words.
Look at their ages, there are middle-aged people and young people, men and women, all of them have bright eyes, and both the cars they drive and the equipment they wear are far superior to theirs.
It doesn't seem like an evil force that likes to rob each other.
He waved his hand and said, "Little girl, I believe you. How about this, when I say one, two, three, we put away our weapons at the same time?"
Zhang Jia nodded: "Okay!"
"one two Three……"
The leader of the opposite side and Zhang Jia waved their hands at the same time, and the people on both sides put away their weapons at the same time.
Seeing that the other side had no intention of engaging in a firefight with them, both sides breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, the atmosphere between them became very harmonious.
The leader took a few steps forward and introduced himself. "We're from Qingyang Base. My last name is Jiao, so you can just call me Old Jiao. Where are you from?"
The new base in J City has not yet been named.
Zhang Jia casually said, "We came from the inland. We don't have a base, just a small city."
"Cities still exist now?" Lao Jiao's surprise didn't seem fake.
Because of the heavy losses suffered in their city near the sea, they integrated it into a base a few years ago and relocated all the survivors there.
In recent years, we no longer use cities as our names, but bases as our homes.
This is also normal.
When a city cannot function normally, in order to ensure the survival of more people, the government will work with local entrepreneurs, troops, etc. to establish small bases.
After all, it is much simpler to ensure the normal operation of a base than to ensure the operation of a city! It also consumes fewer resources!
This is the case in all coastal cities here.
No wonder Lao Jiao was so surprised.
"Yes, we still live in the city. It's just that we're so short of water that we're out looking for it." Zhang Jiacheng asked sincerely, "Senior Jiao, how do you solve the water problem here?"
Lao Jiao looked at her very warily.
Not only him, but the people behind him were also looking at the group warily.
Zhang Jia and others understood that water resources were other people's secrets and could not be disclosed casually.
It seems that they made the right decision to come to the seaside city!
Maybe there will be a big harvest!
