Chapter 267 Demonstration
A lot of fish, shrimps and crabs were trapped in the mangroves. Although there were not as many as when the whirlpool came, the pit was shallow and easy to dig, so everyone decided to dig it out before leaving.
After that, they headed west, clearing every ditch along the way.
"Kelp! It's kelp!" Qi Lian jumped up excitedly when she saw the gravel covered with kelp. "I love kelp the most."
"Haha," Lin Ziyu sneered, "What don't you like to eat?"
"..." Qi Lian was choked, "Captain, I haven't annoyed you recently, right?"
"hehe……"
Qi Lian scratched her head, looking confused. She really couldn't remember when she had offended the captain.
Yun Xiang probably knew something, and remembered that the president said "he was going to rip her skin off".
She wanted to remind Senior Sister Qi Lian, but the sight of the kelp made her unable to move. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal, she would deal with it after she was done.
I was so busy that I forgot everything. When I remembered, Qi Lian had already been beaten to a pulp.
Yun Xiang took out a pair of scissors and a small bamboo basket and began picking. Shi Qixuan, who had been using a small shovel, immediately switched to scissors.
The boys first caught fish, shrimps and crabs from the ditch, and then collected kelp with the girls.
Yunxiang was quick to act, and as she walked, she pulled away from the others. She finished collecting all the crops and sat down on a rock to rest.
She looked around out of habit. There was a large patch of seaweed at the base of the rock behind her. Seeing Shi Qixuan and the others resting with their hands on their waists, she said maliciously, "There's work to do again!"
"Ah——" Shi Qixuan rolled her eyes. It was painful to have so many supplies, but the pain was sweet.
Shi Qixuan took a sip of water and asked resignedly, "Where is it?"
Seeing her exhausted face, Yun Xiang couldn't help but said, "You take a rest first, I'll go down and dig."
Shi Qixuan was really tired, so she nodded to Yun Xiang and found a nearby stone to sit on.
But a moment later she stood up in shock and shouted, "Whirlpool...Whirlpool!"
Her voice kept breaking, really... Lin Ziyu wanted to tease her, but the scene at sea made her scalp tingle again.
Yun Xiang was already used to Shi Qixuan's behavior, and this meant something was serious. He saw several columns of air currents appearing over the sea without him noticing.
The clouds in the sky were spinning and rolling, looking very scary, as if they could suck people in.
"Fuck! Here we go again!" Tengchong was about to give the sky the finger, but Zeng Li held him back, "Don't do anything stupid!"
"Do you believe this?" Tengchong thought Zeng Li was a little stupid.
"I don't believe it, but there's no need to." Zeng Li seemed unconvinced. "What if my luck gets worse?"
Luck getting worse? That won’t do! Tengchong immediately shook his head, hid his hands, and tried to whitewash the situation.
"Let's get out of here first." When the whirlpool turns to this side, we will have to pour in seawater again.
Thinking of their painful experience, they left without delay and immediately retreated. As soon as they ran away from the coast, the whirlpool hit the coast in an instant.
The force was so strong that many rocks were shattered. Everyone was terrified.
After waiting for several hours, the sea water receded, but the vortex in the sky did not move forward or backward, but continued to stay in the sky.
There was no wind or rain, no lightning or thunder, and even the sun was still hanging in the sky, not disappearing at all. It was just spinning brightly, demonstrating to all things.
"What should we do? Should we continue collecting along the coast?" According to Tengchong, he still wanted to continue the adventure.
The supplies were so tempting. The whirlpool brought more than ten times the supplies of a normal high tide, and he couldn't bear to give up.
But the captain has the final say.
However, Tengchong still expressed his thoughts with expectant eyes.
Yun thought about it and said, "It's actually not bad. Although it looks scary now, the sea water still follows the laws of the tide.
This means we still have some time left, and if the whirlpool doesn't dissipate, we'll have to leave. So, everyone should collect, but don't waste too much time.
We must return to the spacecraft parking area before the vortex dissipates."
Xie Yu also meant the same thing, and everyone returned to the shore. This time, everyone's movements were obviously faster than before.
…
"Young Master--"
"What's wrong?" Xie Shaohui looked tired and gloomy. "Just say whatever you want to say. Don't hesitate."
"The Jin family's seagoing team has also been found."
Xie Shaohui's expression was stern. "What happened? Is there anyone alive?"
"No, only broken planks and some destroyed weapons remained. That's how we determined they were in distress."
"..." This is already the fifth team. The Ji family, the Liang family, the Cai family, the Liao family, and now the Jin family... I believe that there will be a sixth family soon, and the first and seventh families...
A few days ago, there was a huge change at sea. All the fishing boats fishing near the coast were lost, and even some small teams in the shallow waters were unable to return.
They were lucky because there were few people there, so they stayed in the shallow sea area. With the help of the talisman given to him by Xie Yu, they escaped in time when the disaster came and returned safely.
"Master, continue—" the subordinate asked tentatively. In fact, he felt that the possibility of Young Master Xie Yu surviving was slim.
You have to give up when it's time to give up. I think the young master will understand.
The millennium catastrophe is imminent, and everyone is desperately trying to collect supplies. They can't delay any longer.
Although it was a pity, the entire family had to continue to survive. The direction of the millennium catastrophe was basically determined, and the resources would be drastically reduced, and neither plants nor animals would be spared.
Everyone felt a sense of urgency and frantically stockpiled supplies. Frozen, dried goods were a bit less tasty, but it was better than nothing.
Xie Shaohui understood his concern for his family and made arrangements. "Father has received the message and will arrive this afternoon. We will continue the salvage operation."
Xie Yu's mercenary group looks very ordinary, and most of them are not family heirs, but if you look closely, you will find that their identities are not bad.
Upon hearing the news, the family rushed to search. Since others hadn't given up yet, there was no reason for them to give up first. If there weren't enough people to share the supplies, they would just look for people first. There would always be a way to find the supplies.
Now that it's arranged, let's keep looking.
After dinner, Xie Shaohui took his men out to sea again.
After that, they searched for another two days, and then they couldn't find it anymore. A whirlpool formed in the sea, and there was nothing they could do except lose their lives.
A whirlpool formed and the tide stopped rising and falling. Everyone thought it was over, but they didn't expect to have a real big harvest.
The animals in the sea sensed danger and flocked to the shore. Fishing nets were dropped into the sea, and within moments, a net full of fish was scooped up, practically for free.
Everyone was fishing day and night like crazy, and their enthusiasm seemed terrifying at first glance.
Yun thought their situation was similar to that here.
If they hadn't known the danger, they would have simply stayed here to salvage. It was simply wonderful not having to compete with others.
"Let's go. I won't fish anymore!" Yun Xiang felt very depressed and wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
Tengchong looked confused, "Aren't we just starting?" They traveled all night just to have time to fish during the day.
"The vortex has taken over the entire shallow sea area, and the clouds have even moved above the land." The vortex is right above our heads, it's simply too frustrating. "Time is running out, we have to leave quickly."
