A reply was received very quickly after the second letter was sent.
What made Lu Yuan feel very gratified this time was that Zhou Tong and the others were only trapped outside the deck, while the control room in the engine room of the ship was still in operation.
Only by controlling the rudder of the ship can one control its direction of movement.
If even the position of the rudder cannot be controlled, then the ship may drift even further.
The remaining survivors mostly took refuge in the control cabin.
These people weren't too clear about the situation on their end, but it was said that the situation wasn't very good.
After hearing the news, Lu Yuan immediately told his family about it.
After hearing this, everyone's faces showed excitement.
"It seems our friends are all here. Why don't we go and rescue them?"
Mr. Lu spoke these words with a hint of excitement on his face.
After he finished speaking, he immediately received everyone's approval.
Even the old man, who usually didn't get along with him, surprisingly stood on his side today.
“That’s right, they’re all people who have been through thick and thin with us. How can we just watch them die like this? We have to do something about it.”
"Yes, we are relatively safe now. On the one hand, we are saving ourselves, and on the other hand, we are saving others. We must try our best to rescue these people as soon as possible!"
"Yes, think of a solution immediately. We need to deal with that giant monster first. We don't know what level of ghoul it is!"
"We have to be careful about this and speed things up. Those people probably won't last long, especially Zhou Tong and the others who are still in the cabin and their fate is unknown. I really hope they can pull through!"
Everyone was filled with excitement and anticipation.
With his family's consent, Lu Yuan had nothing to worry about and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's begin the rescue operation focusing on this ship!"
So Lu Yuan took out some more food and put it on the drone to deliver it.
After several rounds of adjustments, the modified large drone was finally able to take off and land successfully by noon the next day, and was skillfully controlled.
The only downside is that the drone's four propellers are a bit noisy.
Each time it took off, it attracted the attention of the cannibals on the ship.
However, this method is not very effective because they are not professional drone manufacturers.
There isn't much time to deal with the minor issues with these drones.
This time, the drone carried several times more food than before.
In order to provide these people with more food, Lu Yuan instructed the team members who came with him to dig many smokeless stoves nearby, light campfires in them, cook a lot of rice, and deliver it to them one by one.
The drones flew over there repeatedly, and then flew back again and again.
Each time they carried up to hundreds of kilograms of food.
After several shipments, it was basically enough to meet the food needs of everyone on the entire deck.
In order to prevent the food from being fought over by several people.
Lu Yuan specifically placed a note on it instructing everyone to collect the food in an orderly manner, otherwise the food supply would be suspended.
Several men who had been most enthusiastic about grabbing the note earlier still ignored Lu Yuan's warning when they discovered it.
This led to strong condemnation from everyone on the ship.
Later, the man got into a fight, but he was no match for the crowd. No matter how strong his physical abilities were, he was no match for the people behind him.
So in the end, the man was pushed into the river and eaten by the cannibals hiding underwater, becoming a member of the cannibal army.
The crowd gradually returned to order, and people stopped scrambling for food as they had at the beginning.
Now, every time Lu Yuan delivers food, everyone discusses it carefully to see how to distribute it.
Therefore, Lu Yuan entrusted the task of delivering the food to Xiao Shan.
After all, she wasn't too worried if she, Lu's mother, and Xiaoshan's mother worked together to get various foods and send them over via drone. Meanwhile, Lu Yuan began organizing people to search for the ark.
To enter the Ark, you need to understand the surrounding area.
Otherwise, venturing too far in rashly could result in being surrounded and attacked by the cannibals inside.
The ark was very large, and although it had a very sturdy hull, it prevented all the cannibals from rushing out at once.
However, the cannibals inside were no pushovers either. In order to devour the survivors on the deck, the underwater cannibals unleashed all their abilities.
Because their odor was so strong, the number of cannibals underwater kept increasing.
Lu Yuan only glanced at it once, but he felt that there were at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of cannibals in the vicinity.
Dealing with so many ghouls all at once would be an enormous challenge for them.
After all, to wipe out nearly 100,000 ghouls in one go, you need to have enough manpower and a sufficient supply of ammunition.
However, Lu Yuan's side only had a little over a hundred people, and many of the support staff were not particularly good at marksmanship or physical combat.
Secondly, their ammunition supply was also insufficient.
After a quick count, Lu Yuan discovered that they only had a little over 50,000 rounds of ammunition.
If they use all 50,000 rounds, they will have no bullets left to use.
But these were only the cannibals in the river; the number of cannibals on the entire boat far exceeded those in the river.
That's where they mainly eliminated the ghouls.
It is estimated that there are at least 200,000 cannibals inside.
It would be virtually impossible for such a large group of cannibals to be wiped out.
Therefore, they must come up with a new way to kill these ghouls in large numbers.
With a heavy heart, Lu Yuan carefully examined the blueprints about the Ark that he had just collected, over and over again.
That's right, this blueprint was given to me by Chen Zhongzheng and others.
I've been staring at the blueprints for a long time. To get into the control room on this ship, I first have to go through the top-level passenger cabin.
Then there's a storage layer in the middle, a safety compartment at the bottom, and finally the power compartment and control compartment below.
The journey involves passing through so many cabins, practically traversing the entire ship.
