"How long is later?"
【This is when the host gathers all the fragments.】
Xie Purou was originally smiling and joking with Tongzi, but after a while she realized something was wrong when she looked into the water.
"No." She frowned, her expression turning serious in an instant: "Tongzi, look outside, is there something wrong?"
M80 was confused: [What's wrong?]
"Look in the water over there, is there something?" The direction Xie Purou pointed to was not within the cruise ship's operating area.
However, M80 generally will not take the initiative to check the external situation without special instructions from the owner.
In the dim light, it seemed as if several dark shadows were fleeing in the turbid water.
The M80 immediately detected and quickly locked onto the target.
【The host is a fish.】
Xie Purou's frown didn't relax at all: "Is that a fish swimming down there?"
[Yes...but...this fish is a little bit unrefined.]
"Why not serious?"
M80 expanded its range and surveyed the area before responding: "These fish are of the same species, all with fangs."
"Fish? With fangs?"
Are we really talking about species on the blue planet?
M80 did not respond.
Xie Pu Rou couldn't sit still, so she immediately ran to stop the base staff who were about to return to the boat to pull the injured over.
The two of them said respectfully: "Hello, owner."
After meeting Xie Pu Rou, Chief Huang passed on her clothing and appearance, and asked everyone to cooperate with her actions as much as possible.
"I want to ask, when you were on the boat, did you feel anything hitting the bottom of the boat?"
The two exchanged glances. "It's too noisy outside. Let's focus on the wounded and the road. As for the sound of the collision..."
Another person said: "I think I heard a 'bang bang bang' sound."
There was actually a crashing sound!
Even if they have fangs, they shouldn't make a thumping sound. What kind of fish would thump with its fangs? Unless their heads are also very hard.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper? If everything is ok, we will go down first."
"Well, you guys go ahead and do your thing first." Xie Pu Rou made way for them.
M80's voice sounded again: [Host~ I was just looking for information.]
"How is it? What are those things in the water?"
[It's just a mutated bighead fish. The only things that have evolved in the mutated bighead fish are its head and teeth.]
Xie Purou, who was still waiting for M80 to continue, didn't wait for the next word and asked, "That's all?"
[No, Blue Star mutant creatures are not within the system's record range.]
Xie Pu Rou looked up and suddenly realized that originally only the lights were on inside the cruise ship, but now it was also bustling outside.
Many households in the residential buildings had lights on, and it was obvious that the electricity was generated by the solar power she had sold before.
However, the sun will not appear for several days, and the electricity is stored in solar energy, which residents are reluctant to use.
So what makes people so "luxuriant" as to turn on the electricity in their homes?
While Xie Pu Rou was in a daze, someone would come up to talk to her and answer her questions if they were glancing at her out of the corner of their eyes.
"The owner is probably wondering why everyone has their lights on?"
Xie Purou nodded.
"Someone discovered there were fish in the water, and some people were so hungry that they wanted to catch the fish and cook them."
It turned out that not only she discovered it, but someone in the base also discovered something under the water, but the news had just been transmitted.
Seeing that she didn't reply, the man continued to talk to himself: "The days when we have boxed lunches are few and far between. Although twenty points is not much, many people would be reluctant to give it up."
"Besides, if we catch the fish and process and dry it, we can use it as food reserves. That's why everyone wants to go fishing for fun."
These words not only explain why people have to go fishing even though they can sell boxed lunches, but also reveal the current situation of the people at the bottom of the base.
Xie Purou understood that if given the chance, everyone would want to stock up on survival supplies like food. After all, having food in hand would make one feel at ease.
If you were to ask what can give people the greatest sense of security in the end times, besides absolute fire suppression, it would probably be sufficient food.
She smiled and thanked the person who came over to help her solve her problem, and stopped wasting other people's time.
She returned to the cruise ship and looked down at the nearest residential building.
There were residents making deals with the base staff. She saw several residents put together crystal cores and gave them to the staff, and the staff gave them a lifeboat.
Probably because they discovered zombies infiltrated the base last time, they now had the conditions to immediately begin patrolling the base.
There were five men standing on the rescue boat. The water level wasn't very high, and they weren't even wearing life jackets. Their clothes were tattered, even shabby...
If she remembered correctly, the people living in that place should be middle-class residents, and she didn't expect them to be dressed so shabbily.
They didn't even have raincoats, and the rain soaked them all. Even without turning on the temperature sensor, she could feel the cold brought by the typhoon and rainstorm.
She clearly had raincoats for sale, but they probably thought a little rain was no big deal and didn't want to waste money.
It's normal to be reluctant to spend money and points. Seeing how hard they work, Xie Purou is worried about what will happen if they catch a cold.
Xie Pu Rou fixed her eyes on the small rescue boat, watching them take out the homemade fishing net they had prepared, and then take out a box of something whose contents were unclear.
They divided the work on the boat and it took them a while to get the rescue boat to a location where the water was deeper and there were many dark shadows underwater.
One of them took the black bag in his hand, reached outside and poured it out.
It was still too far away, and she couldn't see what was in the bag. She was curious for some reason, so she asked M80 to explore.
M80's face turned pale: [Host, believe me, you don't want to know.]
The contents of the bag had fallen into the water and were spreading all around.
Xie Purou’s smile froze on her face. Could it be… “Could it be Oli Gei?”
I really don't want to answer, but...: [Yes.]
"What's the point of them throwing that thing down? Is it a threat to public security?"
M80: [It should be a nest.]
The meaning of making a nest is to throw something attractive to fish into the water to attract fish to eat, making it easier for fishermen to catch or fish.
Xie Purou found it hard to accept: "Aren't these fish what they're supposed to eat? Not only are they polluting the environment, but how can they actually eat them themselves?"
Besides, can bighead carp eat this stuff?
At first, there were only a few fish, but after a while, Xie Purou saw a dark shadow gathering where they had made their nest...
“They are really hungry…”
When most of the fish had gathered, they cast the net and actually caught seven or eight big fish.
Countless pairs of eyes were looking at their boat from upstairs. As the first group of people to eat crabs, they set a good example for others.
The sound of footsteps came from several nearby buildings, and the small corridor was crowded with people scrambling to catch fish.
