Everyone was in a bad mood for a while, and they were even more annoyed that they had arrived late.

Chinese soldiers consider protecting civilians their duty, and they will instinctively protect even those who are not from their own country.

"Everyone, start searching the surrounding area for survivors! Hurry!"

"Team Leader Qin said loudly."

"Yes, Captain!"

On the vast sea, nothing could be seen in sight, not even the wreckage of any ships. It was unclear whether they had been blown away by yesterday's strong winds or whether everyone had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

They initially just wandered around the area, but later they had to expand their search.

After a long time, someone finally blew the whistle.

This is a signal that survivors have been found.

After finding the first one, we found more than a dozen more.

Most of these people were dark-skinned, but they didn't look very healthy; some even had injuries.

Some of them don't even speak a foreign language and seem to be speaking a dialect.

Team Leader Qin and his men brought everyone onto the ship, where ginger soup and food had already been prepared.

These people started wolfing down their food. Since they didn't know how to use chopsticks, Lin Chuchu specially prepared spoons for them. Even so, some people just grabbed the food with their hands.

Unable to communicate, they waited until everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, then sailed to a familiar sea area where they lowered the small boats, which were loaded with enough fuel and food.

Team Leader Qin waved for them to leave. At first, they were at a loss, but they gradually understood what Team Leader Qin meant.

So, the group put their hands together in gratitude.

These people were all shirtless and wearing only shorts, and they didn't seem to be living a very good life.

After everyone had left, Captain Qin ordered the boat to set sail.

Lin Chuchu and Liu Xiaonuan then came out of the room, unsure of how this group of people treated Asians and women.

Lin Chuchu knew that some of the men with dark faces didn't treat women very well, so the two of them went back to their room as soon as they appeared.

They sailed until nightfall, and the boat came to rest in the middle of the sea. Everyone prepared food and ate.

Then they went to rest.

In the middle of the night, a sudden ringing of a bell woke them up. It was the sound of an emergency alarm. Everyone quickly dressed, grabbed their weapons, and went to the deck.

When Lin Chuchu and Mu Chen arrived, the others were already there.

Team Leader Qin quickly stopped the two, "Don't show yourselves, go back to your rooms!"

Team Leader Qin's expression was very serious, and his tone left no room for refusal.

Lin Chuchu had no choice but to agree. Before leaving, she placed a lot of weapons on the deck.

At that moment, the silhouettes of several ships appeared on the sea not far away. They weren't moving too fast, but it was clear that they were heading towards them.

Team Leader Qin pursed his lips, wondering if this group of people were the army of some country. If they really were the army, could they still escape?

Just as the atmosphere was tense, Captain Qin finally saw the group of people standing on the ship.

Just like the people I saw during the day, they were all black-faced.

The boat was quite old, so it's a miracle that it managed to catch up to this point.

Team Leader Qin raised his hand to signal everyone to be on guard, and everyone pulled the safety off their guns and loaded them.

After a while, the other ship finally arrived next to their ship.

The other party seemed very excited to see them, and was talking incoherently, but Qin and his team couldn't understand them.

Just then, a middle-aged man stepped forward, speaking in broken foreign language.

"Honorable gentlemen, thank you so much for saving our people. To express our gratitude, we have brought some things with us. Please accept them."

As he spoke, he made an unfamiliar gesture in front of his chest and face, and began to mutter words, as if he were singing or saying some kind of blessing.

The first person started humming, and everyone else joined in, even breaking into a strange dance.

Anyway, Qin and his team felt the dance was quite bizarre and lacked any aesthetic appeal.

Seeing that the group truly meant no harm, everyone put down their guns. After several attempts to refuse, Captain Qin had no choice but to accept the gifts they brought as a token of gratitude.

Some unidentified meats, and tropical fruits, such as coconuts and bananas.

The meat was of unknown origin, but it reminded Qin and his team of the dead people they had encountered before, and they all shuddered.

He wouldn't eat this meat; once those people left, he would throw it all into the sea.

Team Leader Qin and his team did not invite these people onto the ship. As the ship sailed further and further away from them, their envious gazes fell upon them.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when the person disappeared.

One of the group members smelled the meat and said, "I can't tell what kind of meat it is. I wouldn't dare eat it. Let's throw it away."

Besides, what if the meat has been drugged? They're not far from the other side right now. If something happens and the other side comes looking for them, they're finished.

Everyone considered this possibility and nodded in agreement. They didn't need the meat anyway, so throwing it away wouldn't hurt.

They threw all the meat into the sea, but they didn't throw away the fruit. Instead, they had Lin Chuchu put the fruit into her spatial storage. After confirming that there was no poison in the storage, they didn't plan to eat it right away.

Sending these fruits back to China might allow the country to develop new varieties suitable for cultivation.

China lacks everything, even fruit. For example, coconuts are only known to be found on some small islands in the south, and the quantity is very small, with only a few fruits produced each year.

Bananas are even fewer, and they cannot be grown on a large scale.

Hopefully, this time, we can help the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to develop fruits suitable for cultivation in China.

After all that work late at night, everyone was exhausted. A few people stayed behind to take turns driving the boat, while the rest went back to catch up on sleep and came back the next morning to relieve them.

Lin Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that nothing bad had happened. She was just worried about encountering troops from other countries, since some people weren't very friendly towards Asians.

If a conflict were to actually break out, it would bring trouble to China.

After this incident, they became much more cautious when sailing, avoiding all other islands.

They only salvage sunken ships when they come across them.

The rest of the time, their boat sailed very fast.

At this point, to ensure they didn't miss the shipwreck, several of them took a submarine and kept patrolling the sea.

Lin Chuchu was quite interested in fishing at first, but later she got so bored that she stopped going to the boat and spent her days holed up in her room copying foreign books.

Or you can take out some fabric and make some bags, clothes, toys, etc.
