Chapter 084 Chapter 84

After catching twenty pigs in one breath and looking at the obviously spacious activity area in the pigpen, Ji Yang moved his gaze to other places with satisfaction. The cattle and sheep were not needed for the time being, but the chickens, ducks, geese, quails and roosters were the hardest hit areas.

There were nearly fifty chickens alone.

There were fewer ducks and geese, about twenty or thirty.

There were more than a hundred fowls and quails.

We also killed more than thirty rabbits.

Adding them together, they formed a small hill, roughly estimated to be 10,000 kilograms!

The main reason is that the pig is really heavy.

Moreover, the meat yield of raising this thing is too high.

Now that the breeding area is completed, the next step is the planting area.

They harvested another batch of vegetables and fruits and went to the pond. Xie Muchi's pond had been cleaned a few days ago. They had worked hard to prepare delicious food for several days, mainly because of Xie Muchi's hard work. But they had only solved half of the problem so far.

As a result, she added even more!

That is a pond of 10,000 square meters, and it has not been cleaned for some time. Over such a long time, many aquatic species that were scarce before are now present in groups, not to mention the fish and shrimps that were already multiplying quickly.

With a little careful cleaning, there are hundreds of kilograms of goods.

In addition to fish and shrimp, there are also lotus pods, lotus roots, water chestnuts and other things. I was too lazy to clean them up before, but now I clean them up, and they weigh dozens of kilograms.

After finishing all the work, Ji Yang was still fine physically, but he was mentally exhausted and drowsy.

What a sweet and satisfying burden!

*

When Ji Yang woke up again, he woke up to the smell of delicious food.

The virtuous handsome man has already prepared dinner.

When you come to the beach, you naturally have to eat some seaside food. You can't eat dry food every day, but it's also very good to eat it occasionally. Xie Muchi got up two hours in advance, took ten kilograms of fresh vegetables and went to exchange seafood with his neighbors.

If this happened before a natural disaster, it would have been criticized to death.

However, he was received very warmly. Xie Muchi said that if he hadn't strongly requested, the other party would have been embarrassed to give him dry goods. All they gave him were fresh frozen goods from the refrigerator. Although frozen, they were still very fresh now.

So he used these to make a soup, a portion of stir-fried clams, and a portion of fried fish, which were just right for two people. The soup was made with an old hen and some dried goods, and they each had a bowl. After removing the bones from the remaining portion, he added some rice and vegetables and mixed it all together, and that was Xixi and Wangwang's dinner.

After a delicious meal, it was almost nine o'clock and time to... work!

No longer living in space.

It’s time to go out to sea!

Originally, the two were planning to rent a boat. There must be many boats near the coast, so it would be difficult to take out the boat. But of course, the boat they wanted to rent couldn't be too small, as the rental procedures would be very complicated.

If a ship that big is sailed out and the other party never comes back, the person renting it out will suffer a huge loss. There must be a sufficient deposit to give them peace of mind.

After asking around, Ji Yang was afraid of trouble and thought that the boat in his own space was not small anymore, so he simply gave up and planned to go on board by himself.

If you want to smuggle something, you have to do it at night.

At nine o'clock, when it was completely dark, the two men left the RV here and rode a small electric scooter out of the base to wait for the official fishing boat to come back. It would take at least some time, and it would not be appropriate to lie down completely for ten days.

Fresh seafood also needs food to enter the sea.

Ji Yang realized that although he couldn't afford to catch any of the most powerful fish, he could still catch some common seafood. The bare seabed also needed some decorations, so he couldn't wait to set off.

The two of them would go wherever there was no light.

At first glance, there were basically no lights on the left side of the base, so we followed the road. This area was the coastal road of Xihai City, and we could see the sea all the way.

Occasionally, some outlines and figures with flashlights can be seen.

Any place with a little bit of sand was visited by nearby survivors who were trying to get more food to eat. As a result, the two of them drove for more than half an hour before they found an empty corner.

It was not easy to get into the water here. There were sharp reefs everywhere that could easily scratch human skin. The dark sea water hit the reefs. The two walked over carefully and reached the place closest to the sea. Ji Yang had an idea and released a speedboat.

Xie Muchi went up first and used a bamboo pole to stabilize the speedboat to prevent it from shaking violently with the waves. Then Ji Yang jumped on.

It’s much more convenient once you go up there.

The speedboat started and quickly left this side. After a while, they encountered countless boats that came to fish. The speedboat looked particularly small among them, so much so that the two people's boat was illuminated by countless flashlights.

Another survivor kindly said, "Hey, don't drive too far!"

Xie Muchi waved at them to show that he understood, but he still headed towards the deeper sea with determination.

Driving a speedboat on the sea may consume more fuel. The waves were too big. The two stopped to refuel after about half an hour. They drove for nearly an hour and no other ships could be seen in the surrounding sea.

Xie Muchi held Ji Yang's hand and took her into his space.

Then Ji Yang took out her boat - a private yacht!

——

The two of them sat on it and got ready together. Then Xie Muchi went out to the sea to check. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, he returned to the space and released Ji Yang and the yacht.

The yacht was twenty meters long. As soon as it entered the sea, it sank a lot, causing waves all around.

Soon the ship stabilized.

It swayed slightly with the waves, but the amplitude was much smaller than the previous speedboat.

Ji Yang was in charge of driving the boat, but Xie Muchi didn't know how to drive. Holding a compass and a sea map, the two began to study which direction to go. Before, they just ran in a random direction in order to get out of the sight of other ships as quickly as possible.

If you want to fish now, you naturally have to go to the sea where there are many fish.

Ji Yang had looked up information about this in advance. There was a sea area not too far from Xihai City, and there were many kinds of fish there. The two of them planned the direction and headed straight there.

The rumbling sound continued to ring in my ears.

The deeper you go into the sea, the darker the water becomes. Even a ship that can carry many people is just a tiny speck in the ocean. The ship may seem ferocious, breaking through the waves, but once it encounters a real storm, it will disappear in the blink of an eye.

Especially since it was late at night, even with the bright moonlight, it was still terrifying.

As expected, there is no land on the sea to make people feel down to earth.

Ji Yang glanced at the compass from time to time to confirm that she was heading in the right direction, and then she kept moving forward until she reached her destination. When Xie Muchi's reminder sounded, she immediately slowed down.

The weather is good today, the wind and waves are not strong. The ship slowed down to the end and began to drift with the waves.

Ji Yang asked: "Are there any other ships around?"

Xie Muzhi looked around with a telescope and shook his head: "Everything is safe."

Ji Yang came to the deck with confidence, and together with Xie Muchi, he lowered the anchor and secured the boat. Next... they could call Xixi and Wangwang out, and the whole family could have a rest!

It’s late at night and visibility is poor, making it difficult to move.

——

A peaceful night.

Xixi and Wangwang, the two alarms, had eaten and drunk their fill and were lazily curled up in the corner of the bed, without making any sound.

When I woke up, it was already past five o'clock.

After breakfast, the two came to the deck.

The sea water in broad daylight is even more beautiful and clear in blue.

This is the coolest time. Even though I just came out of the air-conditioned room, I didn't feel too hot. Standing on the deck and looking up, there are seagulls and other birds flying above my head. Occasionally, they land on the boat. As soon as they land, Xie Muchi hooks them with food and brings them into the space.

Other seagulls: ?

Everyone was so scared that they quickly ran away.

Xie Muzhi shook his head and smiled: "You are so ignorant."

Ji Yang was amused, so he took the seagull and put it in the sea, also placing a basin of fresh water there to prevent the seagull from dying of thirst.

There are more birds flying in the sky than you can imagine, and when you look down, you can see many fish swimming around in the sea.

This place is far away from the crowd, and few boats are willing to spend so much fuel to come here, so relatively speaking, there are many more fish.

However, due to the influence of high temperature and other factors, coupled with previous tsunamis and floods, the salinity caused by sea water has become more serious. Most of the people here migrated here after the tsunami, and they have basically no supplies on them. The survivors all rushed to fish.

Ordinary survivors are near the coast, but the deep sea is also visited by countless people, and even people from neighboring countries come to fish. There have been several frictions, and the high temperature has had various impacts on marine life, so there is no need to expect a good harvest like before the disaster.

But maybe because there were fewer ships coming and going, Ji Yang felt that the water quality seemed to be better than before. She suddenly felt like going into the water to play. There was no need to be so anxious to catch fish.

Wangwang might not like the sea very much, and he kept hiding in the corner licking his fur. Ji Yang took him back to his own space. Xixi seemed to like it too, and he grabbed the railing of the deck with his front paws, looking at the vast sea in front of him.

Xie Muzhi saw through her thoughts and said, "If you want to go swimming, go ahead. We are not in a hurry."

"Okay!" Ji Yang turned and went into the house to change into her swimsuit.

However, for safety reasons, we changed to diving equipment so that we could go to deeper places.

The ladder on the boat had been lowered, and Ji Yang pulled the ladder down slowly. Xixi became anxious, barked twice, and also stood at the edge, seeming to want to go down with him.

Ji Yang thought about it and simply put it into the space.

After falling into the water, she enjoyed the cool sea water lapping against her body for a while, then let Xixi out. She immediately saw the dog struggling in the water, not quite used to it. To be honest, she had never really let Xixi swim before.

The pond and planting area are not connected.

Seeing that Xixi seemed to be about to drown, Ji Yang swam over quickly to take it back into the space, and saw that it seemed to adapt, and with a somersault, it successfully changed the rolling action and officially adopted the dog paddling style.

Ji Yang felt relieved and swam around again.

A fish swam to her side, and she touched it. The fish immediately disappeared in front of her, and was replaced by a small fish in the sea area in her space.

The little fish didn't seem to notice the sudden change of location, and may even have swum more happily due to the lower temperature.

very good.

The sea area is indeed suitable for fish farming.

Ji Yang became interested and continued to move towards the area where there were many fish. Maybe there were not many fishermen here and the fish were not very vigilant, so she sent several of them to the sea using this method.

After playing for about ten minutes, she noticed that Xixi next to her was running out of energy, so she swam over to send the dog back to the space, and then went up herself.

It's time to get to work!

——

Cast the net and catch the fish.

Ji Yang has never done these things.

She learned how to sail just thinking that it might be useful one day, but she never thought that one day she would need to cast a net to catch fish. Xie Muchi had never learned it either, so the two of them stared at the fishing net.

"How did you think of buying a fishing net?" Xie Muchi asked sincerely.

Ji Yang also answered seriously: "It's better to be prepared. Anyway, there is a lot of money."

During that shopping period, she placed multiple orders for almost everything she saw on the Internet. She would wait and see whether she would need them or not. They were not expensive, so she bought them first. If she missed the opportunity, she would not be able to buy them anymore.

Unfortunately, all of her equipment can only catch fish in shallow waters. It is impossible for her to catch the real deep-sea creatures with just one boat.

Xie Muzhi: "..."

Great answer!

If you tell others about it, a lot of people will be envious.

Since you don’t know how, just learn it now.

Ji Yang has all kinds of learning materials. In order to make it easier to read, she asked the shop owners to classify them and put them on different mobile hard drives.

Later, when there was an extreme cold weather disaster, she also sorted out the information when she had nothing to do, so she quickly found the information related to fishing.

After opening the video, the two watched it carefully several times, and according to the method described in the video, they first tried the simplest way of casting a net.

This requires strength and skill.

It just so happened that the two of them were strong and had learned the skills, so they tried it several times.

They cast out a large handful of nets, which exploded in the air like a flower, and then sank due to the gravity of the edges. After a while, they collected the nets. At this time, the outer circle of the nets would gather together, including all the fish covered inside.

Probably as a benefit for newbies, both of them made a lot of money in the first wave of fishing.

Compared to those experienced fishermen, it was definitely not enough, but together they weighed about 60 kilograms, which was a very good start. When the two of them had caught half of the net, they couldn't pull it anymore. At the same time, they thought about it at the same time, and the net and all the fish inside it entered the space.

Ji Yang's was sent directly to the sea, and when it was taken out again, only a bare net and scattered scales were left. Xie Muchi's fish weighing twenty or thirty kilograms were "spitted out" and floundered on the deck.

Ji Yang was afraid that they would die of heat, so he quickly took back the sea area.

Suddenly, the originally desolate sea area was filled with many more fish.

There are indeed many kinds of fish here. With just such a simple net, she swept her consciousness over and found seven or eight different kinds of fish and shrimp, and two crabs.

"continue!"

The first net 'exploded', and the two continued with great interest.

But then maybe the aura of a novice didn't work anymore. He cast two nets in a row. With two people and four nets, he only caught a few dozen kilograms of fish in total.

Xie Muzhi: "I guess all the fish here have run away. Let's try another method."

Ji Yang nodded: "Try using a trawl net."

Then the two of them pulled the anchor back together, Ji Yang went to drive the boat, and Xie Muchi was responsible for throwing the net. The big trawl net fell into the water, and formed a funnel shape with the water flow. Both ends were tied to the boat and were carried by the hull to swim. The sea fish, shrimps, crabs and other things passing by in the middle were all carried forward by the net.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Ji Yang stopped as instructed in the tutorial, and went over to collect the net with Xie Muchi. When they had almost collected all the nets, they simply sent them into the sea in one breath.

This time the catch is two or three times more than all the previous ones combined!

But if you look closely, they are just some ordinary fish and shrimp.

After working so hard until now, the sun was gradually reaching its hottest point. The two men collected the net and decided not to continue. They dropped the anchor and went into the cabin to rest.

The air conditioning on this ship was not very good and it made a very loud whirring noise. Ji Yang turned off the air conditioning, took out ten buckets of ice and filled the lounge with them. There was enough ice and the temperature dropped quickly. In just a short time, he could feel a noticeable chill.

Finally, I took out two electric fans and started blowing them slowly inside the room. The wind wasn't strong, but it was refreshing enough to make you feel cool all over.

Comfortable!

Xie Muchi went into the space to cook. When he was done, the two of them ate together and then discussed for a while what to do next.

The catch for one morning is actually not a small amount, but in an area of ​​10,000 square meters with unfathomable depth, it is still far from enough. In addition, what these fish and shrimps eat is also a problem.

Ji Yang's consciousness checked the situation in this sea area. Although the activity range is small, there are both deep and shallow water areas. There is no need to worry about these small fish and shrimps living in it. They just need to create an ecological environment similar to that of a pond. They can't keep feeding them.

After the discussion, the two decided to find a shallow water area nearby when they woke up, dive and pick up some corals, seaweed and other things to put in the water.

Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi both have diving certificates, especially Ji Yang. As a playful person, he is really familiar with these things. When talking about places where you can dive, he immediately said, "I know a place, Dongmen Island. I have dived there before. The ecology is very good and the place is small. There are no indigenous people on the island. They should have evacuated long ago after the natural disaster. If you dive here, you can take away a lot of things without worrying about being discovered."

The island is very small, only tens of thousands of square meters, and the ecology is primitive. Usually, it is populated by travel enthusiasts who come here to camp and dive at the beach. For environmental protection reasons, fishermen are not allowed to fish here.

Moreover, this is not a domestic island, so it is even more comfortable to fleece the wool.

"Okay, let's go there." Xie Muchi found out about the island and agreed immediately.

They first went to fill up the boat with gas, Ji Yang studied the map, and after confirming the direction, the two of them drove away.

Occasionally, they would drag a net down to replenish the sea with some small fish and shrimp.

Once it starts, it will take a whole day.

During the break, they encountered a group of dolphins surfing together in the middle of the night and rushing along the direction of the waves. Ji Yang saw this and took out two cameras. She asked Xie Muchi to help her take a video while she took pictures fiercely.

Even though I couldn't see clearly in the dark, I still managed to take a lot of photos.

It’s a pity that the distance is a bit far, otherwise she would like to go over and play with him for a while.

These creatures, such as dolphins and killer whales, are relatively friendly to humans and are very playful.

But when Ji Yang finished taking the photos and had some ideas, they quickly disappeared. The distance made it impossible for her to get to them instantly, so she had to give up.

Early the next morning, we finally arrived at Dongmen Island smoothly.

It was just as she thought, there were no ships to be seen. After a careful look through the telescope, she did not see any human presence.

This island is like an isolated island drifting in the sea. Looking around, there is no trace of other islands or land.

After throwing the anchor down, Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi put on diving suits, Xixi and Wangwang put them into the space, and the two jumped into the sea together.

It was exactly seven o'clock in the day.

The temperature was a little high, but the visibility was excellent. As soon as Ji Yang got into the water, she was shocked by the rich marine resources in the water. It was even richer than she remembered. All kinds of strange and beautiful fish and shrimps were swimming in front of her, and corals and seaweed were everywhere. Upon closer inspection, she saw several large lobsters.

Going deeper, there are groups of sea urchins among the rocks, and they are all very large.

A starfish lay flat in the gravel, and an octopus swam quickly past.

When humans temporarily disappeared from their world, it seemed that these creatures were not affected much and even lived more comfortably.

Unfortunately, the natural disaster will not stop at this time.

All the beauty here will not last long.

Let’s go to her sea area.

——

Ji Yang was thinking about it, and had already pointed his claws at a coral. He dug it out with a grunt, and then threw it into the sea. He also helped dig a hole to bury it again.

After a while, Xie Muchi also handed over a bag of sea urchins, seafood, oysters and the like, and made a gesture.

Ji Yang threw it in.

Then move on to the next coral.

Both of them were carrying oxygen tanks and did not need to go up to breathe. When they could not bear it any longer, they found a secluded place, slipped into the space to rest for a while, and then splashed into the sea again.

But in two hours, there was a small area here that was empty.

The only pity is that neither of them can match the creatures in the sea. As soon as they get close to lobsters, octopuses and the like, they immediately dodge and run away so fast that they cannot be caught at all.

It's so infuriating!

Fortunately, I collected more other things.

After being busy for a while, the two reunited, went into the space to have lunch, and then lay down to rest for a while. The buoyancy of the sea water was too great, and moving was more tiring than on land. Two hours was equivalent to three or four hours of exercise.

After dinner, I slept for more than an hour. When I woke up, I rubbed my face and continued diving.

It was not until they were completely exhausted that they supported each other and swam back to the boat to sleep.

For the next two days, Ji Yang and Xie Muchi stayed here. They didn't see anyone, which made them feel more at ease. So they cleared half of the land here and stored all of it in the sea area in space.

It makes the sea area, which originally looked like a dead sea, show some life.

Life has always been tenacious.

Those corals, water plants and the like were pulled out by the roots and replanted in the new sea area. In just one day, they seemed to have merged with this sea area. Small fish and shrimps roamed around in them, and some of them fed on them. Slightly larger fish were fed with small fish and shrimps.

Although the numbers are small, a food chain seems to have begun to form.

Near the rocky beach, there are many oysters on the rocks beaten by the waves. The sea urchins were caught and thrown here. Miraculously, they found their usual habitat and settled down safely.

By now, the shallow sea area has been almost filled up by her, except that it is a little sparse, there is no other problem.

Today is their last day to collect here.

They need to hurry up and catch fish, as there are still too few species of seafood in the sea!

Suddenly Xie Muchi pulled her.

Ji Yang went in the direction he pointed.

They saw a sea turtle swimming towards them at a fairly fast speed. Its head looked quite large. Ji Yang sensed no ill will and just watched quietly. When the sea turtle came to them, it flapped its four legs happily and turned its back to them.

There are many barnacles clinging to its back.

Ji Yang suddenly realized and looked at Xie Muchi. They were both very pleased that this guy came to their doorstep. They didn't hesitate and just touched the turtle. The turtle disappeared in front of them.

Sea turtles that come to humans for help removing barnacles:?

What happened?

How come in the blink of an eye, we are in a cool sea?

This feeling...

Like a home from long ago?

Ji Yang used her consciousness to help it remove the barnacles, which are also edible. She sent them to a static space and the barnacles died quickly. After this episode, the two continued to collect various animals and plants in the sea.

Until I saw the second turtle.

Ji Yang: Why don’t you accept something that’s delivered to your door?

Hurry over and pass this one in to the first one to make a pair.

It is not known whether these two turtles are male or female, and whether they can reproduce in the sea.

The turtles are not very big, so you can collect more.

Unfortunately, their luck was not so good. After these two, they didn’t encounter any more. After a busy day, the two exhausted people returned to the boat contentedly to rest. After they had rested enough, eaten and drunk enough, they set sail again.

Place a trawl net here and try to catch as many fish, shrimps and other things as possible.

The two people divided the work, one drove the boat and the other set the net.

Ji Yang planned to walk around the island, but he had only walked a quarter of the way when Xie Muchi informed him through the intercom: "It's time to close the net!"

Ji Yang stopped the boat immediately.

Xie Muchi didn't move. She waited for Ji Yang to come over and put the net into the space. It would be much more convenient to take out the fishing net at this time. However, when she waited for the net to be sent into the space, she was stunned.

"so much?!"

Xie Muzhi: "It was full in a moment, and I was almost dragged down by the force."

He was also asked to tie things on the boat in advance.

Ji Yang wiped his sweat and scanned the sea with his consciousness. The batch of fish and shrimps that were released into the sea dispersed immediately, but that large group was still particularly pleasing, with many species, including several large sea turtles and... sea snakes?

It makes one's scalp tingle.

She quickly skipped through them all, looking through them all, her face full of anticipation: “Continue?!”

Xie Muzhi: “…Continue!”

Ji Yang smiled with his eyes curved. Two people with a collecting habit could not help but collect such abundant resources.

The next step was to repeat. When Ji Yang was about to stop at the same place, Xie Muchi's voice came on the intercom first, and he seemed a little speechless: "Stop and come over here first."

Ji Yang didn't understand why, but he did it anyway.

When she got to the deck, she ran over to take a look and saw Xie Muchi pointing at the pink creature in the trawl net: "… Just collect this one, I'm afraid you'll kill it."

Ji Yang looked closely and saw a pink dolphin lying in the fishing net. Probably fearless, it ate several fish in one bite, as satisfied as if it was eating at a buffet.

6!
