Chapter 105 Chapter 105

When searching for land, Ji Yang found that he couldn't rush.

After hiding back in the space, the two had dinner and began to look for the approximate location of the coral before the disaster based on the pictures taken by Ji Yang, and they actually found the corresponding location.

There is a place called Quito Sea, where this type of coral grows, and there happens to be a huge underwater ravine there.

This place was quite far away from Xia Kingdom before the natural disaster.

I found the approximate location, but what can I do?

The turmoil broke out again, the plate movement has not ended yet, and it is unknown how long it will last. They were so excited to find this continent, but when they come out again, it will be gone again.

I was happy for nothing.

Now that I’m facing backlash, I feel even more lost.

Ji Yang sighed deeply: "Just lie down for a while."

"We can try to see if the current seawater can support those seafood." Xie Muzhi said: "We haven't seen any marine life along the way. This is very strange."

Ji Yang nodded.

Going out again, the two waited for another three days before using the lifeboat to come out to the outside world. This time, they appeared in the sea again as expected.

The lifeboat automatically began to carry them upwards.

The two observed their surroundings and found that it was still safe. They did not encounter any other people during the entire ascent process. They stayed in the lifeboat for more than an hour. After confirming that there were no other living creatures around, the two entered the space and quickly changed to her yacht and came out again.

As soon as I went out, I felt it was too hot.

It was noon when they came out. The strong sun shone day and night on people, making it extremely hot.

The two entered the cabin, used ice and air conditioning, and looked at their phones to confirm whether it was night or day. After finding out it was night, they asked Xie Muchi to bring all the dogs on his side out for duty.

The cabin has a fence. For safety reasons, the dogs cannot go down until it reaches their chests. As long as they are on the boat, Ji Yang can ensure their safety. Therefore, when there is a chance to breathe, he lets them out as soon as possible.

After all, these are former military dogs, so their mental state still needs to be monitored at all times, and they also need to be alert to possible dangers around them.

Suddenly arriving in a strange place, the dogs were a little nervous, but when they saw Ji Yang and Xie Muchi, two familiar faces, they relaxed and went to check around the cabin immediately after receiving the order.

Ji Yang and Xie Muchi followed closely.

After a while, some of them were so hot that they stuck out their tongues. They ran back to the room quickly, drank two sips of the cold water prepared by Ji Yang, and then resolutely sent two dogs, one to the bow and the other to squat at the stern.

Ji Yang was filled with admiration, thinking that the dog was indeed a well-trained one, and was much more restrained than her.

But because she was worried that they would get heatstroke, she put two buckets of ice where they were on duty and took out a thermometer to test it.

I found that the temperature was over 40 degrees.

No wonder it's so hot.

The door was ajar. The two returned to the room. The temperature inside had dropped. Ji Yang took out a wet tissue to wipe his sweat and gave one to Xie Muzhi as well: "Don't go out yet. You're sweating profusely now."

"I'll go out and take a look." Xie Muzhi shook his head, "I'll just pump up some sea water later and put it in my space to try it out."

Seeing how diligent he was, Ji Yang couldn't help but sigh, waved his hand to let him go, and lay down lazily.

She couldn't get enough rest in the space and had been staying there for several days in a row, which made her feel suffocated and uncomfortable. Her emotional state was not very good and now she just wanted to lie down.

The sea was not very calm and the yacht was not moving, but just parked on the sea, the whole hull was still shaking. There was no other sound around, only the whistling sea breeze and the occasional waves hitting the hull.

The shaking made her feel drowsy.

A few minutes later, Xie Muchi came back, carrying a large bucket of freshly salvaged sea water.

Ji Yang weakly got up, and with an idea, he went to the small sea area to catch some live fish, shrimps and crabs and put them in. If the temperature is suitable and there is food, they can live for a long time in the sea water.

Xie Muzhi put the bucket back into the space, went to the bathroom to take a shower, returned to the bed, and took Ji Yang into his arms, frowning and asking, "What's wrong?"

"Bad mood?"

Ji Yang yawned: "Maybe I'm sleepy."

Xie Muchi looked at her worriedly, and seeing that she had closed her eyes, he closed his eyes too without saying anything.

——

This time the calm lasted longer, up to two days.

After drifting on the sea for two days, the sky began to be covered with dark clouds, and it looked like a heavy rain was going to come. Xixi and Duoli who were on duty came over to remind Ji Yang. Ji Yang did not dare to delay and quickly returned to the space.

Perhaps he had never stayed in space for such a long time. When he returned to space again, Ji Yang couldn't help feeling irritated. This place was even more lonely than the outside world. Although there were no other humans or living creatures in the outside world, there were still blue sky and white clouds, ocean waves, and... sounds.

Unless in a small sea area, there is not much sound in the planting area. The occasional sounds made by poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese seem a bit abrupt.

Xie Muzhi found things to do for herself and was busy testing the sea water problem, but she was no longer interested in these things.

Apart from being busy feeding so many hungry mouths in the space and growing and storing all kinds of food every day, she prefers to lie down most of the time. Xixi probably noticed this and became even more attached to her.

It has only been half a day since he returned to the space. As he watched episode after episode of the TV series, Ji Yang's thoughts drifted away.

Xie Muzhi's voice rang in his ears: "Ji Yang, what were you watching just now? Why did the male and female protagonists of this drama quarrel?"

Ji Yang came back to his senses and took a look. The computer in front of him was playing a scene where the hero and heroine turned their backs to each other and walked away sadly. The heroine was crying and the hero had red eyes.

But she couldn't remember the specific plot and hesitated for a moment: "Maybe the screenwriter made another misunderstanding?"

After saying this, Ji Yang felt inexplicably guilty and looked at Xie Muchi.

He was looking at himself worriedly.

"I'm fine." She smiled: "I'm just too sleepy lately."

But she didn't rest well in the space, she was not in good spirits, and her natural state was not good.

Xie Muzhi: "Let's go out. We're driving a submarine. We won't come in unless it's absolutely necessary."

Seeing this, Ji Yang nodded: "Okay."

The submarine was taken out and the two of them went in. Everything was ready. Ji Yang had an idea and went out again. At this moment, it was raining heavily outside, and there was a strong wind. Waves ten meters high were hitting them one after another.

When they entered the space, they were right on the sea surface, and when they came out, they saw this scene.

I don't know if it is acid rain or normal rain.

Ji Yang muttered to himself.

Xie Muchi has already controlled the submarine to dive.

Once we reached the middle of the sea and dived about 500 meters, the surrounding environment seemed to become much quieter. Without deliberately heading in any direction, we controlled the submarine to stay at this depth.

There was silence all around, and Ji Yang felt a little better.

The submarine was not big, but it was still spacious enough for the two of them, probably about the same size as an RV. Feeling worried about not letting Wangwang out for a long time, Ji Yang let Xixi and Wangwang out together.

A familiar feeling came over him, Ji Yang's expression relaxed, he opened his hands out of habit, and saw two of them rushing towards him at the same time.

The man, the cat, and the dog played around for a while, then Ji Yang looked at Xie Muzhi and smiled, "I said I'm fine, right?"

Xie Muzhi's lips twitched slightly and he also smiled. He went over and held her in his arms, gently stroking her hair that had grown to her waist with his big hands. Since the extreme heat, Ji Yang had been too lazy to cut her hair, and now her hair had grown to her waist.

"Do you want to know what happened to the seafood in my bucket?" Xie Muchi's voice was somewhat coaxing.

Not really.

But Ji Yang still nodded and said with a smile: "I do! Tell me quickly, how are they?"

"They are still alive and well." Xie Muchi said with a slightly more cheerful tone, and took out the fish tank to show Ji Yang. In the fish tank, they changed the seawater every other day, and the fish and shrimps lived normally in it.

"That's great!" Ji Yang was also very happy and comforted himself: "It may be because we are unlucky that we have not encountered any living creatures."

Otherwise, an ocean suitable for survival must have life!

Just as I was thinking about it, the submarine system issued a reminder.

The two of them looked over immediately, and saw in the video feedback that a small school of fish was passing by them!

Xie Muchi moved closer to see more clearly, luckily the submarine was powerful enough and he soon saw... a school of strange-looking small fish passing by. The fish were very small and belonged to the bottom of the marine food chain. They probably fed on plankton and other things.

These little guys look roughly like fish, but if you look closely, you can see that their faces are very strange, as if they are... deformed.

The fins are obviously twisted, some have deformed tails, and some have particularly protruding eyes.

A closer look revealed that not a single one had escaped.

"This..." Xie Muchi frowned as he watched. He controlled the camera to take pictures of the small school of fish. After careful comparison, he found that they were very similar to jumping fish, but jumping fish did not live here?

Maybe it's a mutation?

Yes, now that the plates are moving and seawater is flowing back, aren't all the pollutants produced by human life, experiments, various scientific research, factories, etc. over the years being washed into the sea?

The sea has everything, and even if it has the strongest purification ability, it may not be able to withstand it.

With so many things accumulated together, can the sea water really survive?

It has been more than ten days since the tsunami. This is the only living creature they have encountered, and it is so weak. What about those slightly larger ones...?

To make matters worse, two days later, the submarine surfaced to scoop up sea water to replace the water in the bucket of seafood in the space, but found that two crabs had already died.

The remaining fish were also listless and not active in feeding.

Three days later, all the rest died.

Now both of them were silent.

The submarine was quiet for a long time and no one wanted to talk.

——

Ji Yang knew that he was sick.

Xie Muchi was also ill.

In fact, they have been sick for a long time. Under natural disasters, no human can be mentally normal. It is normal to have some problems. Those with strong tolerance continue to live a normal life, and those with poor tolerance are like those who rioted in the base and those who retaliated against society.

But in this situation, having stayed in space for so long, the peculiar environment, and the backflow of seawater caused by plate movement have completely separated them from the crowd.

This kind of separation from the crowd is different from being alone on the road before.

Before, both of them would occasionally check on what their neighbors were doing, and occasionally walk around the base to see other survivors. No matter how difficult or numb the situation was, everyone would try to find joy in the midst of hardship.

Happiness used to be a banquet. After a natural disaster, a piece of candy could make people happy for a long time. When you see more people, you will always see smiling faces. Even the most pessimistic mind will get a moment of relaxation at that moment.

Not anymore.

There were no neighbors, no one else, it was as if there were only the two of them in the whole world.

But the sea, once the cradle of life, now seems to have become the graveyard of life.

The blow brought by its change was enormous, and it became the heaviest stone weighing on the hearts of the two at this moment.

A negative emotion spread in the hearts of the two people. Even if they tried hard to find things to do, they could not completely change their pessimistic thoughts, and they became more and more depressed.

The emotions of the two made Xixi and Wangwang, the two little guys who accompanied them in the submarine, feel uneasy. Xixi threw her big head into Ji Yang's arms, licked her from time to time, and occasionally called out in grievance.

Ji Yang touched its head.

I know logically that this won’t work, but I can’t do it physically.

Now she has no interest in exercising and is lazy all day long. The muscles she has worked hard to build over the years don't seem to be that tight. Her appetite is also not very good. Even though there are a lot of delicious food in the space, she only eats a few bites every time to get by.

Not only her, Xie Muchi is almost the same.

The two of them used to eat two bowls of rice in one meal, but now one bowl is considered too much.

Most of the time I am full with half a bowl of rice. For a lunch box prepared in advance, I eat half and save the other half for the next meal, so I eat even less.

Xixi's mood was affected by her, and her chubby body became thinner.

Half a month later, after experiencing several sea storms, the temperature rose again, reaching more than 50 degrees, as if it had returned to extreme heat.

The two went out to get some fresh air, but both shrank back due to the heat.

The temperature control in the submarine is very good. Once you return to the submarine, it is neither too cold nor too hot. You can't get out, so you might as well continue sleeping. Ji Yang was able to sleep to begin with, and now he can sleep sixteen hours a day.

Xie Muchi had always slept little, but now three or four hours of sleep a day was enough for him. He couldn't fall asleep if he needed more.

So the two of them ended up with Ji Yang taking a nap while Xie Muchi was on duty, looking at the monotonous scenery under the sea.

Xixi and Wangwang were also listless, lying at the foot of their master's bed and guarding him.

For a moment, the only sound in the submarine was Xixi's even snoring.

Um……

At least there was some movement.

Xie Muchi leaned back in his chair, staring at the screen in front of him with his eyes fixed.

They have anticipated this situation and even know how to deal with it, but be careful that when you get sick, your body will also develop various problems.

In the past few years, they had eaten well and slept well, had not suffered any serious injuries, and had been exercising every day for several years. Therefore, there are currently no major health problems. The only problem is that one of them suffers from insomnia and the other is sleepiness, and they have become much lazier in their movements.

Just knowing how to do something and doing it are two different things.

The main point is that they lack goals now.

The marine environment changes rapidly and disasters occur frequently. They are far away from the crowd and have their own space. It can be said to be dangerous but in fact they have everything they need. They don't know what to do next.

At first, I was very interested in finding land.

But after it was found, it disappeared again within two hours.

Suddenly I lost interest in finding land.

Later, Xie Muchi suggested testing the seawater. If it is feasible, they can regularly release a batch of seafood into it. The reproduction of organisms is great and rapid. As long as they are given time, the ocean will soon be full of organisms again!

Unfortunately, the current seawater also has problems and may not be able to support life.

So they were both confused about the vast ocean.

“Drip—drip—”

The system suddenly sounded an alarm.

Xie Muchi glanced at it lazily, thinking that he had encountered another small thing like a stone or a school of fish, but when he took a look, he suddenly sat up straight.

The system prompts that something is approaching one hundred kilometers ahead!

According to the information sent back, this thing is bigger than theirs and is a living creature that can move.

It could be a fish, or it could be a nuclear submarine.

If it's the latter, would it be someone from their country?!

Xie Muzhi woke Ji Yang up: "Come and see, a big guy has been detected!"

Ji Yang opened his eyes dazedly, and was perked up after hearing the words. He quickly leaned over to take a look. The image transmitted back was a large creature that looked like a fish, which was bigger than their submarine anyway.

"Let's go and have a look?" She asked expectantly with shining eyes.

Xie Muzhi nodded and controlled the submarine to move forward.

Soon the distance was shortening, more than a hundred kilometers, more than seventy kilometers...

——

Over the next hour, the two men were obviously in much higher spirits. Xixi and Wangwang noticed this, and they both jumped over to be intimate with them. However, as the submarine was driving, it suddenly shook.

Two, three...

When they were more than ten kilometers away, the two felt the surrounding environment suddenly change and their faces changed slightly.

"No way? Here we go again!" Ji Yang was a little irritable.

Xie Muchi also kept a serious face and paid attention to the situation around him. The turbulent sea water caused everything inside to be turbulent as well, so that the sailing speed was forced to decrease.

At this moment, an underwater tornado slowly formed to the right rear of where they passed.

Ji Yang: “!”

"Go back to space!" she said.

Xie Muchi nodded, and Ji Yang returned to the planting space with an idea. The surroundings instantly fell into silence. The two looked at each other, somewhat disappointed that they could not see what the previous thing was.

But the light in his eyes did not disappear.

The plate movement is still continuing. Before they entered the sea, it had been turbulent for more than half a year. It may continue to be turbulent in the future. In fact, no one knows how powerful the tsunami will be.

Are they the only ones who went into the sea, while the rest of the base may still be on land?

Or maybe everyone went into the sea.

If it is the latter, although the ocean is vast, there are also many of them, so we can always meet them.

According to the information given by Chief Chen, there are so many survival equipment in the five major bases, even if some of them will be damaged in this plate movement, they will never be damaged in full.

It has been two months since they entered the sea. During such a long period of time, if there is no follow-up food replenishment, the food reserves that the survivors have obtained will probably be gone, and by then they will either starve to death or kill each other.

Maybe they can do something at this time.

Once he had a goal, Ji Yang felt much more relaxed and his mind became clearer: "I thought of something. I had stockpiled a lot of things before, including a plastic sealing machine. We can transport some food to the sea!"

Xie Muzhi's eyebrows moved slightly: "This method is OK!"

"Yes, I think so too." Ji Yang curved his eyes.

If it was the early stage of a natural disaster, she would definitely not do so much, but at this time, humans may become extinct at any time. The food she sent out might allow one more person who would have starved to death to survive, and then everything would be good.

"Then let's test how much volume and weight these things need to have so that they won't sink." Xie Muzhi said.

Ji Yang nodded, his consciousness already going into space to search for the laminator and the plastic products that would be needed. These things once seemed to be troublesome and difficult to degrade garbage, but now, in this situation, they could just be used.

There is no deliberate destruction. As long as it has enough buoyancy, it can always float on the sea. Occasionally, someone will notice it and salvage it, and it will be a life-saving supply!

For them, it's just a loss of a little food and some plastic, the cost is almost nothing.

Although they had almost emptied their spaces before leaving, the spaces of both of them were still producing continuously, whether it was meat, vegetables, or the potatoes and sweet potatoes that they had never stopped growing, there was still a lot of them.

All of these were harvested in these two months.

There will be more plastic waste in the ocean, but... the whole world is submerged because of this plate movement, and so many things are submerged by the sea water. It's just a little more plastic, which can be completely ignored.

After all, there are only two of them, and no matter how hard they try, they can't produce too many plastic bubbles.

There was still a storm outside and they couldn't go out, but Ji Yang had a small sea area that they could use. After a simple calculation, the two of them put all the cured pork, dried sweet potatoes, dried vegetables and other things together until they reached two kilograms and put them into a plastic package. After putting enough air into it, they used a plastic sealing machine to seal it.

It became something like a big fat pillow.

Originally, Ji Yang thought that there were the most rabbits, so it would be better to put rabbit meat on it, but she quickly rejected it. Pork has more fat and brings more energy. If she had the ability, she would have wanted to put candy on it, which has more energy.

After ensuring that the sealing condition was excellent, Ji Yang sent it to the sea. For the purpose of testing, he placed it one hundred meters underwater. Then he released his consciousness and saw this thing rising rapidly.

After a while it reached the sea surface and floated quietly.

success!

And looking at its floating speed, it can actually be increased a little more.

The two thought about it, but didn't add too much, in case they encountered any problems and it was difficult to float up.

I made fifty in one go, using two laminators in rotation. In the end, they were getting a little hot, so I stopped with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

Fifty 'big bubbles' almost filled up half of the living room, making the already small house seem very crowded. Ji Yang checked the time: "It's only been five hours since we came in. I wonder if the tornado outside has gone away? How about going out to take a look?"

Xie Muchi nodded naturally and took out the life capsule.

The two of them sat in and fastened their seat belts. Ji Yang took them out. Once they were out, it became dark around them again, but the lifeboat soon brought them up. The sea water was still a little unstable, and the shaking was very strong, as if they were sitting on a rocking car. Everything else was fine.

Seeing this, Ji Yang returned to the space and changed from the lifeboat to the submarine. This time he did not surface again, so Xie Muchi had to take control.

A big guy is a big guy, and the shaking sensation suddenly became lighter.

When we came to the sea, we could see that there were still some waves, bigger than usual, but it was okay. The sun, which never sets during the polar day, was no longer blocked by the clouds, and the sunlight made the sea less scary.

However, Ji Yang did not dare to be reckless. Instead, she waited for another ten minutes to confirm that the wind and waves were strong but would not harm them. Then she carefully opened the hatch from above. Ji Yang stuck her head out, and a burst of hot air hit her face. The temperature was still very high. She seized the time and raised her hand to throw the prepared plastic bubble down.

Each one contains two and a half kilograms of supplies, all of which have a long shelf life.

The waves hit again and again, quickly breaking up the overlapping bubbles. From Ji Yang's perspective, he saw a pile of plastic products on the blue sea.

I feel guilty about destroying the environment.

Ji Yang felt a little guilty. When everything calmed down in the future, she would definitely take good care of the environment. But now... she was offended.

After Ji Yang finished, he quickly returned to the cabin: "You can close the door and go down. Let's go to another place and continue next time!"

Xie Muzhi could hear the ease in her tone and smiled: "Okay, let's see if we can run into other humans."

No matter which country they are from, as long as they are human, once they see it, the feeling will always be different.

As usual, the submarine sank to about 500 meters below the sea, then selected a direction and headed straight ahead. However, after only driving for more than an hour, it vaguely saw some abandoned buildings hidden on the seabed.

The two immediately slowed down and tried to dive over to take a look.

About 600 meters below the sea, the light was not bright, but with the influence of the submarine feedback, it was still very clear. The differences were not very big. They were all modern buildings that were damaged beyond recognition. As he looked at them, Xie Muchi recognized that they were buildings from a certain Western country.

In other words, their area is no longer the Eastern Continent.

"It's okay. The Blue Star is a ball. If we keep moving forward, we will eventually return to the East!" Ji Yang said firmly.

There is no other way.

The compass is unusable and GPS has long been abandoned. The only way to determine the direction is by following the pattern of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. They have mobile phones, so they can still know when it is daytime and when it is night, but they can only determine the approximate direction. It is even more difficult for others.

Xie Muzhi sighed and controlled the submarine to surface. Just as he was about to move forward, the system prompted that something was approaching them!

The two men were immediately alert, and they operated the submarine system to conduct detection with caution and expectation. They soon detected that the other side was also a big guy, very similar to the one they saw last time.

However, compared to the last time when there was a little light in the dead air, this time they did not act rashly, but just wandered around.

While waiting, the two of them drank a cup of milk tea. Their mood improved and their appetites improved. The sweetness of the milk tea made them even happier.

Until the other party appears.

There was a deep disappointment in the eyes of both of them.

It was indeed a submarine, a big one, but it did not belong to their country. The two of them did not recognize the words on it, so they were basically certain that it did not belong to their two annoying neighboring countries.

However, at this time, even if we are all human beings, the same thing still applies: if they are not of our race, who knows if they will kill people and steal treasures?

The other party also realized that they were not from the same country, and slowed down, but still approached, giving people the feeling that they were very curious about what this thing was.

It doesn’t look like a nuclear submarine, but more like an ordinary submarine, but it can actually survive in such a horrible environment.

After a stalemate, probably because they thought they didn't have many weapons installed, the big guy approached again.

Xie Muzhi sighed helplessly: "Run?"

Ji Yang was amused. Although he really wanted to play with them, his life safety was still important. If a fight broke out, they would have no shortage of ammunition, so it would be better not to kill these few humans.

She nodded repeatedly, saying in a relaxed tone: "Run, run."

Xie Muchi immediately controlled the submarine to turn around.

Their sudden action seemed to scare the other party. The big guy who had just been moving forward slowly stopped immediately as if the brakes were stepped on, and then watched the target run away.

This speed is much faster than the bulky guy!

What a good guy indeed!

The group of people on the nuclear submarine stared with wide eyes, but they couldn't catch up at all.

They didn't know the other party's situation, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

After a while, it disappeared.

They were the only ones left in this sea area.
