Building a road to the seaside

The next day, Jiang Lin got up very early. The accompanying personnel on this trip were all skilled workers in ship repair and fishing. There were six vehicles in total, three for passengers and three of the largest trucks.

Jiang Lin pulled up the route map in the car and drew the shortest route on it that avoided the buildings.

In order to test whether this road could be successful, Jiang Lin did not change the road material at the beginning until the car stopped at the place where the overpass was broken.

The fishing route is interrupted here. If you don't take the viaduct, there is only a small path below which is inconvenient to walk on, and there are many abandoned obstacles.

Jiang Lin jumped out of the car. Except for the broken part, the entire road was relatively intact.

She used the building materials she had purchased from the system to fill the gap. She and Wen Yan sat in the first car and drove across the newly repaired road with some trepidation.

The cars behind followed them and passed through one by one. There were no unexpected situations and the convoy continued to move forward.

"If the road is clear, we can reach the dock in about an hour." Wen Yan said as he looked at the map on the central control screen in the car.

The weather is very good today, with bright sunshine. When the apocalypse happened, there were not many vehicles on this road, and it was almost smooth sailing all the way.

Jiang Lin was studying the map. She didn't plan to come back and take the same route.

There was a closer and smoother route on the map, but it didn't lead to the first base. She just had to add a new road at the fork in the road to go back.

She showed the route map she had drawn to Wen Yan: "Do you think this is okay?"

Wen Yan came over to look at the route Jiang Lin had planned and made a slight change: "It's quite congested here, with a lot of abandoned cars. It would be better if we could go around it."

"Is there no one cleaning up these abandoned cars?" Jiang Lin was a little puzzled. The materials from abandoned cars can also be recycled.

"I've been busy making edible food and haven't thought about this issue. But the base is indeed short of various materials now, and there are many parts on these abandoned cars that can be recycled." Wen Yan sent a message to the base.

The remaining trailers drove along the route planned by Jiang Lin and towed the abandoned vehicles stranded on it back to the base for processing.

On the other side, Li Qi, disguised as Jiang Lin, appeared at the door of the first base.

For humans, food is much more important than walls. Now the wall of the first base is just a fence and no specific repairs have been made.

Li Qi avoided the patrol personnel and easily sneaked into the first base.

She stood up from the ground in the shadow of the corner. The last time she came to the first base, she had some impression of the layout here.

I just don't know where the destroyed experimental department and planting research institute will store the purifier.

Li Qi walked along the route she remembered. She kept her head down along the way, trying not to attract the attention of passers-by.

The roadside was full of maintenance workers repairing the damage to the buildings left by the mutant army.

Li Qi walked over to the research institute and couldn't believe his eyes. The renovation of the First Base was progressing so quickly. He saw that it was already intact, even better than the former research institute and the adjacent experimental department.

A passing researcher saw Li Qi and asked, "Minister Jiang, why are you still in the base?" The experimenter was a little surprised. Shouldn't Jiang Lin be on his way to the beach?

"Oh, I came back to get some purifier." Jiang Lin, played by Li Qi, had a cold expression. The experimenter didn't dare to ask more questions and walked away on his own.

Li Qi followed her and went in after she opened the door of the Planting Research Institute.

The institute was a little surprised: "Minister, what are you doing?"

Li Qi walked in calmly, his eyes drifting over the bracelet on the experimenter's hand: "I left in such a hurry this morning that I left my bracelet at home."

Experimenter: "You can't get into your office, so ask Secretary Xu to get some for you."

All the purifiers of the Planting Research Institute are stored in Jiang Lin’s office, and Xu Anan is responsible for distributing them when the laboratory needs them.

"Okay, ask Secretary Xu to send me a box. I'll wait for her here." Li Qi said, pointing to the sofa for rest.

The experimenter nodded blankly and wanted to ask her why she didn't use the intelligent brain to contact her, but seeing that Li Qi closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, she just thought that she was too tired.

Li Qi felt very nervous. If she still had a heartbeat, it should be beating very violently now. She touched her heart thoughtfully. There was silence there. For some reason, she felt a sense of loss.

"You said Jiang Lin forgot to bring her bracelet, so you asked me to send a box of purifier over. Shouldn't she be on a mission outside?" Before leaving, Jiang Lin told Xu Anan that she would be away for a while.

The experimenter scratched his head: "The minister said she came back to get the purifier, and maybe she saw something valuable to cultivate on the way." The experimenter thought it was understandable.

Xu Anan still felt a little strange. She took out a box of purifier from the storage area and said, "Forget it, I'll go check on her first. I don't know what's going on with her."

Xu Anan was about to go out when she thought of something. She ran to the computer and temporarily froze Jiang Lin's bracelet, waiting for her to find it before thawing it.

The experimenter nodded and returned to his laboratory. Xu Anan went to the rest area to find Li Qi with the purifier.

"Xiao Linlin, why are you back?" Xu Anan shouted at the top of her throat.

Normally, Jiang Lin would look unhappy and ask her not to talk like that, but today Jiang Lin looked unhappy for a moment before returning to normal, and even forced a stiff smile.

Xu Anan took a step back in fear.

Li Qi's smile froze on her face. Shouldn't she smile? This girl seemed to have a good relationship with Jiang Lin.

"What's wrong with you? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Xu Anan didn't expect that people could change their appearance, but she instinctively felt that there was something wrong with Jiang Lin in front of her.

Li Qi didn't want to delay any longer, so she got up from the sofa and forcefully snatched the box of purifier.

She was so strong that Xu Anan was pushed to the ground. She happened to meet Jiang Jianong who was coming back from the planting area. He wanted to drink some water and take a rest.

I saw Jiang Lin holding a box of purifier and Xu Anan sitting on the floor.

Jiang Jianong was created to kill Jiang Lin. He has an unusually keen sense of Jiang Lin's aura: "Who are you? You are not her?"

Xu Anan realized something was wrong: "Hurry up and get the purifier back!" She got up from the ground and wanted to get the purifier back.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Li Qi ran outside directly. The forbidden door was broken by her punch, and the sound of the door breaking was loud.

Many experimenters ran out of the laboratory: "Is it an earthquake?" and then watched Jiang Jianong and Xu Anan chasing Jiang Lin.

The expressions on everyone's faces were indescribable.

"Isn't this Jiang Lin? Hurry up and grab the purifier!" Xu Anan shouted.

But she was still one step slower than Li Qi. Her speed was much faster than that of ordinary humans, but the speed of the android Jiang Jianong was also extraordinary. He followed Li Qi for a long time and couldn't get rid of her.

Xu Anan was immediately left behind by them. She gasped for breath and answered the message from Jiang Lin.

"What's going on? My bracelet is frozen." Jiang Lin was drawing a route map in the car when she received a message from the intelligent computer saying that her bracelet was forcibly frozen.

"Someone who looks very similar to you stole a box of purifier." Xu Anan said breathlessly.

Jiang Lin was silent: "Someone who looks like me?"

"Yes, they look almost exactly the same. She said she left her bracelet at home. I was afraid that your bracelet would be taken away by someone with ulterior motives, so I froze it first." Xu Anan explained.

"She also broke our door!" Xu Anan added quickly.

Jiang Lin:? It was just repaired and then it broke again.

"What's the situation now?" The coastline was already visible from the car window, and she estimated that she would not be able to return to the base for a while.

"Jiang Jianong chased her again and snatched the purifier." Xu Anan looked ahead and saw that both of them had disappeared.

"Okay, tell him to be careful. If the purifier is lost, just throw it away. Don't trust anyone who looks like me unless I send you a message in the next few days." Jiang Lin hung up the phone. The sea was already in front of him.

It is low tide now, and the beach on the side is completely exposed, looking very clean and tidy.

"What's going on at the base?" Wen Yan asked.

"Xu Anan said that someone pretended to be me and stole a box of purifier and smashed the door." Jiang Lin said gritting his teeth.

Wen Yan's expression changed slightly: "Could it be someone from Shenmu?"

"It should be. This kind of strange power is probably the only one." Jiang Lin sighed, got out of the car, stepped on the soft beach, and the salty sea breeze blew in his face.

The technicians and fishing experts all headed towards the old large fishing boats at the dock. Jiang Lin knew nothing about these boats and was sunbathing on the beach with Wen Yan.

I don’t know if it’s because there is no human activity, but the ocean is actually a lot cleaner. There’s nothing on the beach except some shellfish shells.

Although the fishing boat has not been used for a long time, most of its functions are still intact except for some wear and tear on the surface. The technicians carefully checked every part and solved some repairable problems on the spot.

The fishing technicians were also busy. They took out a lot of things from the car, including a newly woven large and sturdy fishing net and a lot of prepared baits.

Jiang Lin watched with interest and walked towards them. The water at the dock was very clear now, and some common jellyfish could be seen swimming next to the boats at the dock.

Fishermen were checking their equipment, and technicians came down from several fishing boats: "It's ready to go, ready to start fishing. It looks like we'll have a good catch."

Jiang Lin followed the large group onto the fishing boat and watched them sail towards the middle of the sea according to the previously recorded anchor point.

The big net was cast, and many people started sea fishing while waiting. Compared with the situation at the base, it was really leisurely here.

After about the same time, they put down their fishing rods and began to collect the nets. Jiang Lin was slightly nervous: "Do you think we can catch any fish? Will these fish mutate?" There were so many mutated things that she was afraid that the creatures in the sea would also mutate.

"We'll know soon anyway." Wen Yan also stepped forward to help. The first wave of seafood was about to come ashore.
