Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 717: Just Want to Survive

Chapter 717: Just Want to Survive

Qiu Man stuffed the glass jar into his clothes and hid like a thief all the way. After fifteen minutes, he finally ran into the office of Chief Alliance Officer Li.

"Why, no one came?" Chief Alliance Officer Li glanced at him and asked.

"Well, it is said that..." Qiu Man simply said, "Maybe your status is too high, and he can't bear it."

Chief Alliance Officer Li smiled and shook his head: "He just wants to hide. He is obviously very strong, but he just doesn't want to stand out."

Qiu Man put the honey on the desk. "He picked this from the tree the day before yesterday. He said it's for you to replenish your body." Qiu Man ignored himself. "And the bacon and dried goods. I saw that they are quite a lot."

"He is willing to do so."

Qiu Man nodded, "He said he was doing some business in the north and got quite a lot, and gave us half of it."

Chief Alliance Officer Li picked up the bottle and took a look. The golden honey was very tempting. "That's a thoughtful idea."

Qiu Man hesitated for a moment, "How about asking the medical staff to test it?"

"That's not necessary. He has no conflict of interest with the alliance, you and me, so how could he have any bad intentions?"

But Qiu Man still felt that they should be cautious, and seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Chief Alliance Officer Li agreed to his decision.

"Then you have to keep a close eye on it and don't let others share it. As for the bacon and dried goods, send them to the cafeteria as a snack for everyone."

Qiu Man's smile froze on his face. He touched his nose and said, "Oh, why don't I try it." He dared to guarantee that if this thing was seen by others, it would definitely be divided up.

Chief Alliance Officer Li pointed with his finger: "You, go get the cup!"

Qiu Man smiled flatteringly and ran away.

At this time, a family of four in the hotel had just checked in and entered the room.

Although the decoration before the apocalypse looked a bit old, it was still luxurious. An An Nuan Nuan's eyes turned around, and everything she saw was new and interesting.

"Mom, this room is better than the previous one." Nuannuan concluded.

An An also nodded, "Beautiful!"

Bi Qiaoan explained to them what the hotel was used for, and finally said with regret: "It's just that there is no longer any catering service here, otherwise our family of four could have a good meal."

The two babies actually don’t quite understand the situation outside, so they don’t understand why the food standards keep dropping as long as they are outside.

However, they knew that Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan could get food from dreams, so they never made a fuss.

The two little babies visited the balcony and bathroom, and then took a bath with the help of their parents. They put on their clean pajamas and fell asleep in bed in seconds.

Shen Yanming was also a little tired, so he simply took a shower and went to bed.

Bi Qiaoan wanted to take a bath, but it was not convenient outside, so she simply washed herself and slept on the other side.

The two little babies separated the couple, and the fatigue of the past few days also suppressed Shen Yanming's eager heart.

"Let's go to sleep. When we get back, we can do whatever we want." Shen Yanming thought secretly as he looked at Bi Qiaoan, who was separated from him by "thousands of mountains and rivers".

Bi Qiaoan, who had already fallen into a light sleep, turned over with a thump of his legs, completely unaware that he had been targeted by a big bad wolf.

The next day, the couple got up slowly, had breakfast, and then drove to Yangyi Island.

They planned it well; they got there just in time for low tide, so they could go fishing with their treasures.

But they didn't expect that they were frightened by the beach of Yangyi Island.

This, this, this, the sand in the distance is not the sea at all, but the continental shelf! The continental shelf is exposed above the sea, and people call it land and move around underneath it.

The two babies thought that the ocean was like this, so they screamed "Ahhh" and wanted to rush forward.

Shen Yanming stopped them one by one, and found a young man walking towards the bottom of the ditch and asked, "Hello, young man, what's going on here?"

The young man looked them up and down before saying with a smile, "They must be from outside the area. There's no way the locals don't know this."

Shen Yanming did not hide it and nodded. Seeing that the other party was about to leave, he quickly pulled him back and took a pack of cigarettes from the car and stuffed it into his hand: "Can you tell me?"

The young man quickly stuffed the things into his trouser pockets, looked around, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to this side, he said: "Since last year, the sea water has been receding, slowly getting faster and faster, and the ditch has been exposed."

Shen Yanming was a little panicked, "Then why haven't I seen these news on the Internet?"

The young man sneered, "The higher-ups said they were afraid of causing panic and unrest, so they blocked the relevant information. If you hadn't come here, you probably wouldn't have known about it."

"No one cares?" Shen Yanming felt that the alliance should not ignore it.

The young man smiled bitterly: "Yes, experts came one after another, but it's no use, they can't make the sea water return to normal."

Shen Yanming took a deep breath and said, "Does the ocean becoming like this affect your lives?"

"Yes, it used to be easy to get some seafood. Now, not many people dare to go out to sea. Have you seen those little black spots? They can't survive and have to fight hard down there."

Shen Yanming glanced into the distance and saw several cruise ships floating on the sea in the distance.

"You guys should leave. It's dangerous here. If we leave, we won't be able to survive and may have to flee to the mainland." The young man said and left.

Chen Yanming did not chase after him. He drove to a nearby village, exchanged two kilograms of black fungus for a room with someone, and asked about some things by the way.

"Go fishing? There's no fishing. The sea water doesn't even reach the beach. You can only go to the ditch to pick up fish and shrimp, but it's too far and not safe. It's best not to go.

Every household has some seafood in stock, but they don’t dare to sell it, fearing that they will have nothing to eat in the future.”

Shen Yanming asked again: "Apart from the retreat of the sea water, are there any other abnormalities here? Or, has the retreat of the sea water caused any other disasters?"

"No, it's still the same here. It's just that there's something wrong with the sea that has existed for generations. It makes me feel uneasy."

Shen Yanming got what he wanted to know, and exchanged the bacon and dried mushrooms in the car for a lot of kelp and seaweed, and then he and Bi Qiaoan took the two treasures to the beach.

"Although we can't let them experience the ebb and flow of the tide, it's worth the trip to get this information." Chen Yanming rubbed the hair of the two babies, "Let's just come here to play in the sand today, and take a look at the not-so-authentic sunset over the sea."

Bi Qiaoan had no objection to this and was still thinking in his mind whether he should smuggle some sea sand into the space later.

In fact, Shen Yanming had also thought of this. When the two babies were having fun, he kept moving back and forth, collecting a pile of inconspicuous and unknown sand into the space.

Then he looked at the sea in the distance, somewhat unwillingly, and said to Bi Qiaoan: "I want to go down and take a look. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
