After Qi Li and another person completed the handover, they invited everyone to get on board.

"We are the first group of people to open the way. Under normal circumstances, there will be no danger. However, we are afraid of accidents. Once we encounter danger, many of you are gifted. You can always take good care of your families, right?"

After getting a positive answer, Qi Li nodded with satisfaction and pointed at Ji He, "Sit behind me."

Ji He nodded and was about to sit on it.

Someone behind him was unhappy.

"Why let her sit over there? We all pay the same price, and everyone knows that the bow is more comfortable? Although it's a natural disaster, we should not forget the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young, right? We have elderly people and children here, can we let them sit first?"

Qi Li glanced at the person and said, "Because she paid first, and we saw that she was the last one to pay. According to the rules, she should sit in the back. If you don't want to, you can choose not to do it, but the boat fare will not be refunded."

It seems that the man is still a little unhappy.

Qi Li added, "You paid for the boat ticket, not hired bodyguards. No matter where you sit, you will not be protected. If you feel comfortable leaving your elderly alone, then you can discuss it with this girl. If she agrees, you can change. Okay, everyone else, hurry up and get on board."

After saying this he immediately boarded the ship, leaving no one else behind.

The man opened his mouth as if to say something, but then held it back.

He was indeed worried about leaving the old man alone in the front.

Although I don’t think anything unexpected will happen on this trip, I still feel uneasy if we don’t sit next to each other.

Ji He didn't say anything, but just took another look at the middle-aged man in his 50s next to him.

For some reason, she always felt a little concerned.

Although the rain stopped.

But under the hot temperature, the surrounding environment is even more uncomfortable than when it is completely dry. The whole person feels like soaking in a sauna, and breathing is even a little stuffy, as if a stone is pressing on the chest.

In such hot weather, the man did not sweat and his face looked a little pale.

He looked normal and was still talking to the white-haired old lady next to him.

It can be seen that his family must have been well off before, otherwise they could not support three people with only one gifted person.

What's more, there was an old lady inside who looked to be at least 70 years old.

While thinking, everyone got on the boat.

This time no one protested, and everyone boarded the ship in the order they bought their tickets.

Originally, there was another family in front of Ji He. The strong man was called Zhao Yun, and they had a family of five.

He, his wife, a 6-year-old daughter and two elderly people.

But they said it didn't matter and directly gestured for Ji He to sit in the front.

"Our boat is just an exploratory ship. Who knows if there will be any danger ahead? If there is an accident, the front row is the most dangerous place. If you are willing to go, I would be more than happy to help you.

I don’t feel comfortable leaving the elderly and children in front, my wife and I are both gifted, one on each side of us can just protect our family.”

Although he is strong, the man is the kind of person who is rough but also delicate.

Ji He didn't care, she just sat behind Qi Li.

In addition to them, there was also a woman on the trip. She had short hair, wore sportswear, and looked very energetic.

Also sat in the front row.

After they were seated, Qi Li made a gesture, the speedboat started, and it rushed out directly.

The network was broken, so Qi Li had to use a printed map for reference. Plus, there were a lot of debris floating in the water, so his speed couldn't be increased.

After driving for a while, Qi stopped and nodded to the quiet woman next to him.

The woman said nothing and just put her hand into the sewage.

The next second, a huge fluorescent yellow javelin stood up in the middle of the water.

It is more than 2 meters above the water surface.

The color is so bright that it is hard to ignore even in such a dark night.

After the javelin was erected, Qi Li took out a piece of yellow reflective cloth and wrapped it around it.

Such a simple road sign is completed.

During the rest of the journey, Qi Li stopped every 500 meters and asked the woman to put up a road sign.

Until the woman turned pale, indicating that her talent was exhausted and she needed to rest.

Only then did Qi Li slow down the speed of the boat.

Ji He counted and found that the women had set up 22 javelins in total.

Pretty impressive.

Ji He nudged Qi Li with his arm, "Captain Qi, have some candy."

This candy was the cheapest kind before the natural disaster, bought from the wholesale market, and no one ate it. It would be a very good thing indeed.

Qi Li glanced at her and didn't answer.

"Just tell me what's the matter. I'm afraid I can't do it. This candy makes my heart burn."

Ji He stuffed it into Qi Li's hand and said, "I just want to ask what the base is like."

Qi Li wanted to refuse, but he found that the girl was extremely strong and he couldn't break free.

"As for the base, there's nothing much to say. It's been under construction and is simply divided into four areas, A, B, C, and D. Area A has the best environment, and area D has the worst. There are advantages, too. You only need to spend credit points. If you don't have any, you can still owe them. When you complete the work assigned by the base, the money can be offset against the rent."

At this point, he looked at Ji He and said, "If you have the conditions, it's best to live in Area A or B. The people in Area A, wow, their lives are still pretty much the same as before the disaster. Although their assets have shrunk a lot, their living standards haven't dropped much. Some people can still eat a meal of vegetables every day."

Qi Li became a little envious as he talked about it.

At this time, Tang Xiaoxu, who was sitting opposite Ji He, recovered a little. He opened his eyes and looked at Ji He, "Are you also a gifted person? Do you want to join us? The treatment is pretty good. There are dormitories for free."

Qi Li also nodded, "We are treated well here, we eat in the cafeteria, our lives are very fulfilling, and every day is very meaningful."

Ji He understood.

That means there is endless big pot meals to eat, endless work to do, and endless smell of stinky feet in the endless dormitories to live in.

She smiled and said, "Thanks for the invitation, but I don't have that idea for now."

The path these two people suggested to her was indeed a good one. For an average talented person, it was a pretty good job as long as they could have enough food and clothing in this day and age.

But she wasn't suitable.

She had no shortage of food, so there was no need for her to find a lot of work to do.

She just needs to make others think that she can support herself.

Qi Li nodded, "Okay, whenever you want to join, come find me and I'll recommend you."

"Well, it's not easy to get in now. You have to get in right away, and now you need someone to recommend you. If you make a mistake, the person who recommended you will also suffer the consequences."

Ji He understood. It was the system of joint liability. If one person committed a crime, the whole family would be punished.

While taking a rest, Tang Xiaoxu told Ji He about the base.

She had never been there either, she just heard about it from her teammates.

They have now arrived at the city center. This is a low-lying area with deep water. The tops of the lower buildings are no longer visible.
