Cang Yu has always been a daring person. After finding a spot and drilling through a layer of ice on the surface, he continued drilling through the ice below.
Lin Yue loves to eat fish. Before he came, he said that he might be able to catch a few fish, and he definitely will.
With the last drill bit down, the last layer of ice in the opening entered the reservoir, creating an ice hole about one meter wide.
I don't know how Cang Yu did it, but the ice layer next to him was not affected at all. I have to admire Cang Yu's skills and how tenacious the ice layer is.
Cang Yu got off the excavator and went straight to the opening to look inside. He saw all kinds of fish scrambling to the surface to breathe.
"Lin Yue, grab a bucket, tie a rope to it, and start catching fish!" Cang Yu was in a good mood.
On the ice, there was still running water below. Lin Yue didn't dare to walk towards the gap as carelessly as he did, and could only cross it cautiously.
When she got to the edge and looked down, hey, there really were a lot of fish! These fish are so resilient; they're still alive. She liked that.
Thinking about how many fish she could catch, her excitement made her forget that Cang Yu had asked her to bring a bucket, and she directly pulled out a fishing net from her spatial storage.
"With a bucket, the fishing net won't go down," Cang Yu reminded her, seeing her grinning from ear to ear.
The ice mouth is full of fish; how can a light, flimsy net be lowered into it?
"Oh!" Lin Yue replied.
Then they immediately replaced it with a large bucket, tied a rope about ten meters long to it, and threw the bucket down.
Then they discovered that the bucket wouldn't go down either.
These fish probably hadn't breathed fresh air in a long time; even when the bucket was thrown in, it didn't scare them. The bucket was held aloft by the fish.
Lin Yue tilted her head: "Didn't you say the bucket could go down?"
Cang Yu was unusually a little embarrassed, his face even turning slightly red from the wind.
He had tried fishing in ice caves before, but he forgot that the ice wasn't that thick, and there were far fewer fish there. This time it was a real mistake.
Just as she was considering how to say it, Lin Yue started talking again.
"Never mind, even if we can't go into the water, we can still catch fish, hehe!" Seeing Cang Yu's embarrassed look, she took pity on him and stopped teasing him.
With a thought, Lin Yue saw the layer of fish on the ice next to the bucket disappear instantly, along with the bucket, all going to the fishpond that Lin Yue had temporarily created in her space when she was bored in the car.
The fishpond is filled with spring water, and the fish visibly become more active after entering it.
After repeating this process dozens of times, the number of fish in the water finally decreased, and the fish in the pond were so crowded that they could hardly turn around.
The fish she brought in, even if she ate them three times a day, would be enough to feed her for half her life.
After collecting the fish, Lin Yue felt a little dizzy again. She took out two large chicken drumsticks, gave one to Cang Yu, and started eating it herself.
After eating and resting for a while, this time we didn't drill through the ice. We found a few long pipes and took out the water tower in batches. We used a suction method to bring the water from the reservoir into the water tower, and after it was full, we put it back into our space.
It took a week to fill all the hundreds of water towers.
While filling the water tower, Lin Yue and Cang Yu were not idle. Apart from normal field training, they spent all their remaining time cooking, and even Cang Yu's cooking skills improved slightly.
...
The training days passed quickly, and October arrived quietly.
After training in the afternoon, they took showers. Lin Yue made a spicy seafood stew, which the two of them enjoyed immensely.
The gray wolf and the snow wolf shared a basin, and from time to time they would bump heads and rub necks together, their relationship as close as that of two wolves.
Both knew they would eventually go their separate ways, but they didn't stop the two wolves from falling in love, because that's something that can't be stopped anyway.
After dinner, as usual, Cang Yu cleaned up.
After washing the pots and pans, Cang Yu didn't go back as usual, but instead sat down opposite Lin Yue, who was already preparing to watch TV for a while.
"Lin Yue, we're heading to the H City base tomorrow." The person he's looking for has surfaced; it's time to deal with him.
Lin Yue keenly noticed the word "we" and looked up to ask, "Are you coming to the base with me?"
She thought that Cang Yu would leave when she went to the base, since he had said before that he wouldn't stay there for long.
"Okay! I'll take you to the base, and then I'll leave." He was worried about Lin Yue going to the base alone, as it was a long journey.
"I can manage on my own." Knowing that he wanted to personally take her home, she didn't quite agree.
She was no longer the Lin Yue she was at the beginning of the apocalypse; it was only a few hundred kilometers, so there was no need for someone to take her.
"I didn't specifically give you a ride, I was just going that way." Knowing what she was thinking, Cang Yu added.
Seeing his serious expression, which didn't seem like he was just going through the motions, Lin Yue thought about it for a moment and agreed with some skepticism.
With nothing much to pack, the two of them cleaned up the house the next morning, took the two greasy creatures with them, and set off for the H City National Base.
Almost everyone in the neighborhood has left, except for a few rebellious thugs who refuse to be restrained and go out every day to look for supplies.
Or, to put it more accurately, it's stealing from others.
These people were quite "diligent," leaving early in the morning. When they encountered Lin Yue and her group's car, they wisely stepped aside, not daring to provoke these two formidable killers.
The car drove out of W city and headed towards H city.
Cang Yu's plan is to take the expressway. Compared to secondary roads, expressways are more direct and can shorten the journey, making it faster.
Lin Yue had no objections. The highway between the two cities had relatively few curves and no underpasses, which would save them a lot of time.
There's no need to worry about road conditions. Whether you're following a secondary road or a highway, you don't have to worry about being tripped up by a car on the ice. After all, with nearly ten meters of ice, any car on the road will be buried up to the bone.
Before even getting on the highway, we started to see one or two cars occasionally on the road, but there were more pedestrians than cars.
Perhaps it is because human nature has become less able to withstand the test since the end of the world that people are somewhat wary of others, so very few people travel together.
There are quite a few people in this direction; it seems many people were left behind last time.
That's true. Apart from those who didn't want to go to the base with the army, many people, like those in their neighborhood, happened to go out to look for supplies and missed it. After waiting in vain for the second search, they had no choice but to go find it themselves.
Walking is a skill, especially in this kind of weather, so it's inevitable that there will be people on the road trying to hitchhike.
Cang Yu was a very skilled driver. If someone tried to stop him, he would swerve past them if he could, and if he couldn't, he would just ram into them.
The people who ran into the middle of the road to stop the car immediately moved aside upon seeing this, and after they passed, a series of curses drifted further and further away.
"Don't be soft-hearted if you encounter people trying to hitchhike on the road. If they don't dodge, just run them over. Because as soon as you stop, a lot of people who want to hitchhike will appear out of nowhere and tear you apart." After getting on the highway, Cang Yu shook off another person trying to hitchhike, and explained to Lin Yue.
