Chapter 185 End of the text
Half a month has passed since that phone call.
Later that day, Han Lan told Shu Fu on the phone that they were able to survive this time because of the raft safe house with a protective shield. During the most dangerous time, they had a car problem and the whole team was trapped in an abandoned village near the mountains.
As a result, they were attacked by surprise in the middle of the night, and it was an air raid and bombing. Fortunately, all of them were on Han Lan's raft at the time, and the open protective shield blocked all attacks.
If it weren't for this, even if someone was on guard at night, they wouldn't be able to withstand the sudden air raid. Fortunately, he brought his raft with him, and fortunately the raft had such a miraculous protective ability...
Shu Fu could hear the melancholy and emotion in Han Lan's words. For people like them who always fight on the front line, companions and teammates are the most important. The incident in Bancheng will always haunt him. He will never forget it and will never want to forget it. He will even think about it all the time, reminding himself all the time not to make the same mistake again.
Even if in the eyes of Shu Fu, Cheng Yu, Liu Shuang and all the other teammates, he did nothing wrong in this matter, he would not let himself go.
"He has to get over this hurdle by himself. It wouldn't be easy for me..." After hanging up the phone, Liu Shuang sighed.
This call was a safe call, mainly to let Shu Fu know the news of Cheng Yu. The war was not over yet, and they could only communicate briefly. Although the raft safe house was good, they could not hide in it forever. What they needed was to take the initiative to attack and fight.
But Han Lan also said that he kept in mind the time of the raft holiday card and would definitely return safely before then - with Cheng Yu along. In any case, receiving this call today was good news for all of them.
Although Shu Fu knew the outcome of this incident, she, like everyone else, was not clear about the outcome of Cheng Yu, Han Lan, and other comrades who participated in this incident. Especially Cheng Yu, the person he faced this time was his father - at least in terms of blood relationship.
Cheng Yu's heart should not be much more relaxed than Han Lan's, but he still said nothing on the phone as before, he was just afraid that she would worry because he had been missing for too long. He felt guilty because he always made her wait.
His words "I will come back alive to see her" are more of his expectation than a promise.
He didn't ask for too much, he just wanted to see her again alive and hug her again with his hands. This was the only obsession he couldn't let go of between gunfire and life and death.
**
After that, she waited quietly for news while taking the raft island around the southeast corner of Fengshang Plateau and drifting near the southeast waters of the last piece of land on the planet.
She now connects to the satellite network for an hour at a fixed time every day outside of work hours.
Because of this incident, some areas of Xizhou Province have become war zones, and the signal network has been interrupted for the most part. However, the safe zone and other non-war zone officials are still working hard to maintain network signals. The main function of these signals is to prevent disasters and notify the type and level of disasters. There will also be some new positive scientific research notifications, such as updated rainproof materials, a new generation of ichthyosis vaccines have been successfully developed, and another batch of airdropped supplies will be dropped near the war zone at a certain point in time...
In the crowded and humid Xizhou Province, the people who are forced to embark on the road of escape again by the new round of war are easily driven into despair and lose the motivation to survive. Therefore, these networks that are maintained with great efforts are particularly important. At least they can let the people of Hua who are trapped in a small building know that the government still exists and has been working hard, and the soldiers of Hua are still fighting for peace...
The reason Shu Fu connected to the Internet for an hour was not only because she wanted to keep an eye on the situation on land, but also because she wanted the residents on the raft to know the situation outside the raft island.
Some people tend to quickly forget the past and lose the will to work hard in a comfortable and peaceful life. She wants those who are still living in the shelter to know that the comfort on the raft island does not represent the situation on this planet.
It is still the end of the world, the situation on land is very bad, and there will be disasters such as food crisis waiting for them in the future. They cannot indulge in comfort until the raft island is fully developed.
Because there is no need to travel now, and the Drifting Island House is simply for drifting, Shu Fu temporarily fixed the house type as a holiday villa.
Although her drifting island house still cannot allow friends to enter, this house has an extra-large rear deck and balcony. When other raft residents want to come over to connect to the Internet, there is enough space for them to go onto the deck or enter the balcony at the same time.
Although she now has memories of the visitor, they are still not very clear.
Because safety was the first thing she considered when designing it, the cheat codes for the Drifting Island House only gave her three key words: "disaster resistance, constant temperature, and exclusion". She focused her energy on designing various rewards, and the rest of the details were calculated by the backup system itself...
In the past half month, Chen Fa's Lighthouse Milk Tea Shop and Hua Qiong's Underwater Snack Shop have been upgraded.
The appearance of the milk tea shop has not changed much. The building height has increased a bit after it was raised. At the same time, there are two levels of height adjustment, one is the previous height, and the other is a higher height after the upgrade.
After the building was raised, viewing windows were added inside the "cylinder". People walking up the internal stairs could stop and walk while looking at the scenery outside. At the same time, an elevator was added inside. In addition to the viewing stairs inside and outside, people can also take the elevator inside the building directly to the milk tea shop, solving the problem of some lazy people who don't want to climb stairs.
The biggest change in the milk tea shop is the interior. The original milk tea machines in the production area inside the bar have been upgraded and look like they are fully automatic. There are also several more coffee machines, roasters and ice cream machines.
The name of the milk tea shop was changed to "Milk Tea Bakery". She estimated that in the future it would focus on various sweet drinks, bread, cakes and desserts.
In addition to the newly added coffee roasters and ice cream machines, there were also several more professional machines for making milk tea and fruit tea, so problems soon arose. There were too many machines and the raw materials could not keep up. Moreover, after the previous operation, all the stock on the raft had been used up.
Fortunately, Shu Fu won two red first prize gift packs this time, and she quickly used the gift packs on the "Milk Tea Bakery".
This time, the prompt appeared on the screen again.
[Note: Since "Chen Fa's Raft" has been upgraded to a special set, the matching gift package (universal) will automatically generate non-disposable resources after it takes effect. The gift package resources will be refreshed again after being consumed within the usage time limit. The usage time limit is 90 days.
Please confirm the use of the upgrade package gift pack (universal) after confirming the above content. 】
A non-disposable resource? Is that what she thought?
Sure enough, all the beverage machines, baking machines and even ice cream machines in the milk tea bakery can now be made directly by pressing buttons. Not only does it not require filling with raw materials, but there is no limit on the number of cups within 90 days.
Of course, the button sequence for different types of milk tea, fruit tea and coffee is different. When you are not familiar with it at first, it is easy to make the wrong type of milk tea. This requires gradual study and habit.
But not limiting the number of cups also means that the business hours can be increased, so Chen Fa recruited a few more employees and changed the hours of the milk tea bakery to 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and it is still open seven days a week.
Compared with the stingy business practices in the past, all the residents on the raft have finally ushered in an era of free milk tea, coffee, bread and ice cream.
Because of this, the number of residents going to parks and swimming pools on a daily basis has increased. After all, those are high-calorie foods. In the past, everyone was afraid of not eating enough, but now everyone is afraid of eating too much and being unhealthy, so more exercise is needed to consume the increased sugar.
Hua Qiong's snack shop was officially upgraded to a restaurant - and it was an underwater restaurant that was three times larger.
The restaurant's interior has completely changed in style, from a cozy snack bar to a more formal restaurant with a more fashionable design. An ordering screen has been added to each table, so guests can order directly while sitting down, without having to stand in line to order like before.
In addition, the raft has been staying in the deep water area for some time. The water here is boundless, the water quality is much clearer and cleaner, and it has a blue hue. Different species of fish can often be seen in the water. The probability of guests coming to the restaurant to open the blinds is also much higher.
In the kitchen, the number of dishes that can be recorded by the automatic meal preparation machine at the same time has increased to thirty, so Hua Qiong no longer has to spend time changing the menu frequently.
Because the restaurant can accommodate more guests at the same time, the number of employees has also increased.
Many residents of the shelter have moved out of the shelter and moved into hotels as their working days have increased and their raft point income has increased.
Everyone's life is getting better and better. Plantations and farms are receiving goods frequently, and a large amount of fresh vegetables, fruits and meat is stored in the warehouses.
After checking the inventory on both sides, Shu Fu felt that after a few days, he would be able to negotiate directly with the authorities and conduct material transactions, and the matters concerning the Drifting Island website and invitation letters could almost be put on the agenda.
**
Another morning, Shu Fu was awakened by the bright sunlight falling on her face.
She turned over in her bed and wanted to continue sleeping, but she soon realized something and turned back over.
Sure enough, the next moment, her face and body were covered with the morning sun. Because of the long-term rain, the sky outside the water area was always gray and gloomy, so Shu Fu usually only drew half of the curtains before going to bed, and when the morning passed and the sky was bright in the morning, she would automatically wake up in such brightness.
But today, it didn't rain outside.
It was early winter, and the drifting island house and the raft were drifting in the deep waters. The water outside was unusually calm because there was no wind or rain. The morning sun shone down, and the water surface was sparkling.
Such rare good weather reminded her of the days when she used to drift on the water alone in her house.
After washing up, she replaced the drifting island house with a small original house, and then, just like before, she placed breakfast under the eaves of the front door, listening to music and looking at the endless water outside the raft, enjoying the quiet and leisurely time.
After the meal, when she was leaning back in the recliner and resting her eyes, the satellite phone beside her rang again. It was an unfamiliar number.
She answered the phone and heard Cheng Yu's voice: "Xiao Fu, we are about to leave and come back. Which direction should we go?"
Shu Fu sat up. Cheng Yu was asking her where the raft was and which direction they should go to get closer to her. She thought for a moment and asked, "Where are you in Xizhou Province?"
"Seventy kilometers north of Ban City."
Shu Fu knew that this direction was closer to the shipbuilding base on the plateau basin. If both sides set out at the same time, meeting up there would be the shortest route for Cheng Yu and Han Lan.
So, she returned to the house and walked towards the function screen, saying to the other party: "Go to the shipbuilding base, where I sent Han Lan ashore before, I will come to pick you up!"
The person on the other end of the phone smiled softly: "Okay."
One day later, at the waterfront near the shipbuilding base.
When the car appeared on the shore, the first person to discover it was Lu Zheng.
He actually had mixed feelings: admiration and happiness, but at the same time, a bit of indescribable bitterness.
But he has actually been trying to let it go. Even though he had the opportunity to learn the truth about the world from Shu Fu before, he chose to join others in not listening for the time being.
He hoped that he could let Shu Fu go completely before his memory was fully restored. That way, when he regained all his memories of the other world and remembered all his obsession with her, he would not continue to be trapped in it and cause more trouble to her or himself.
So, he notified Shu Fu immediately.
Two minutes later, Shu Fu came ashore alone.
It was raining heavily near the waterfront, thunder was rumbling in the sky, and the weather was getting worse.
Shu Fu opened the portable protective shield, so she didn't carry an umbrella, and didn't even wear thick warm clothes. She just put on a long cardigan and went out.
The protective shield blocked the heavy rain, but the rain curtain outside the portable protective shield still obscured the surrounding scene.
Not far ahead, the shaking lights of a car stopped, and she heard the sound of footsteps falling from the car in the rain. The rain was so heavy, and the ground was muddy and slippery, making every step the other person took difficult.
She saw a familiar tall figure in the car lights. After confirming who it was, she quickly ran towards him. Compared to him, she ran very fast under the protective shield.
At this moment, Shu Fu inexplicably recalled the scene when they met again in the past, when he ran towards her quickly.
So, this is how I feel when I run...
The sound of her fast running footsteps made Cheng Yu stunned for a moment. He saw a figure running towards him in the heavy rain. He subconsciously threw away the raincoat he was about to put on, opened his arms, and the next moment he hugged the person running towards him tightly.
The heavy rain disappeared, the dampness and coldness also disappeared, and the only thing left in the entire world was the softness and warmth of his arms.
"I'm back." He held her waist tightly.
**
A few days later.
The authorities received an email signed by the "Owner of the Drifting Island Shelter." The letter was not long, but the two pieces of news in it shocked them.
In the first message, the other party claimed all the information and warning messages previously posted on the official website, including deep-water weather data, devil's water data, and volcanic eruption data. In this way, they expressed their position that although they were away from the land, they still cared about the people of Huaguo.
This is a friendly attitude that is straightforward and without any beating around the bush.
The second piece of news is that the "owner of the Drifting Island Shelter" wants to trade with the authorities before the cold winter officially arrives. She has a batch of fresh vegetables, fruits, meat and fish, and wants to trade some electronic products and textile products.
A specific list was also written below, and it was stated that if there were any differences of opinion, the two parties could continue friendly discussions through electronic communication.
As for the transaction location, the letter only mentioned a suitable waterfront location for the time being, and stated that the specific location could be determined after both parties formally reached a deal.
The letter also stated that this was the first transaction and the quantity of goods traded was relatively small. If the transaction went smoothly and the results were satisfactory to both parties, they could continue to choose fixed times for long-term transactions in the future.
Officials have heard of the term "Drifting Island Shelter" recently, which was circulated in the survivor resettlement area of the Northern Plateau, along with news about white wristbands. It is said that wearing the wristband will make you a member of the Drifting Island Shelter, receive its protection, receive drinking water, and have your own bed in the floating shelter.
They had already recorded this information privately, because there has not been much news so far, and all of it has been positive, so they did not pay too much attention or be too vigilant about this matter.
Because Xizhou Province is really not peaceful and there are too many problems to be solved on land, they have not yet had the spare energy to move. They did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to contact them this time, and in such a completely friendly way of communication.
Want a deal?
Fresh vegetables, fruits, meat and fish? I don’t know how much the other party said in a batch, but no matter how much, these are the most scarce supplies on land right now...
Even though officials were skeptical, they ultimately decided to go through with the deal.
The situation on this planet is getting worse and worse. Even if they don’t quite believe it now, they will still try their best if they have the chance.
After all, there are so many people with superpowers now. If someone in the community really gathers a large number of people with superpowers and operates and builds them for a period of time, such a thing is not completely impossible.
The officials at this time did not know that they had made the right choice. A new future would begin from this moment - from this transaction.
**
December, deep waters.
Early in the morning, after Shu Fu washed up, he turned on the function screen and issued a voice announcement to the entire raft.
She said that a new rafting was about to begin, and this time the raft would go all the way south. She hoped that all raft residents would be well prepared and be careful not to fall into the water during the rafting.
The cold winter is about to come. At this time last year, Shu Fu was in Wei County and had no idea that he would be facing the worst snowstorm and temperature drop since the disaster.
At that time, when it was the coldest, she had heard Yao Ruoyun look forward to the future.
She didn't know whether there would be a significant drop in temperature this winter, but she still wanted to realize her old wish - in the winter, she would take the raft and everyone, roam freely on the deep sea, and spend the winter in the warm waters of the south.
A moment later, Shu Fu listened to the cheers coming from the raft behind her and slowly walked up to the second-floor balcony. She leaned against the front fence, took out the map panel, set the destination on it, and pressed OK.
The Drifting Island House started up again, carrying a large string of rafts behind it, heading towards the wider waters in the south.
A new journey has begun again.
