Lu Yuan sighed softly and pointed to the place where the Ark had been back then.
"I'm not worried about what's underwater here; I'm worried about what's inside the Ark. If the cannibals inside the Ark all evolve into these extremely fast cannibals, then we'll face an even greater crisis once we open it up!"
Xiao Shan gripped Lu Yuan's arm tightly, unsure how to comfort him.
Xiao Shan also felt that this matter was really not easy to resolve.
"Don't worry too much, maybe we'll find a way to deal with these ghouls in the future!"
Lu Yuan could only nod after hearing this, feeling utterly helpless.
After all, this was the first time they had ever encountered these cannibals.
This is a completely new type of zombie for them, and it's really not easy to deal with it now.
Over the next few days, Lu Yuan would lead his men outside to lure monsters into the enclosure and hunt them down.
After a week of hunting, the number of cannibals in the nearby waters has dropped significantly.
On the eighth day, Lu Yuan once again led several wounded men to wander back and forth in the water, searching for the cannibals.
For two whole hours, the number of cannibals chasing him did not exceed one hundred, and Lu Yuan finally felt relieved.
"Great, in that case, let's move on to the next step."
Everyone wore expressions of surprise and delight. The matter of the cannibals was almost resolved, and now they would search the entire ship.
The rescue operation was delayed for nearly ten days due to dealing with the cannibals. Lu Yuan didn't know if the people inside were still alive, but he still hoped to see Zhou Tong and the others again.
However, the most dangerous thing now is how they can get into the ark.
First, they had to get to the deck outside the ship and rescue the survivors who were trapped on the deck.
Lu Yuan steered his large ship to the front of the ark.
Compared to the ark, Lu Yuan's small boat looked like a tiny speck, barely big enough to hold a few people.
Seeing Lu Yuan's large ship approaching, the people on deck all wore expressions of surprise and shock.
They knelt down on the deck in excitement, kowtowing repeatedly in the direction of Lu Yuan.
Since Lu Yuan was too far away to stop them, he simply accepted their kneeling.
When they arrived at their ship, Lu Yuan lowered the ladder.
Then they stepped onto their deck.
Over the past few days, the entire deck has been cleaned up, and in preparation for their arrival, they specifically threw all the bodies of the deceased into the water.
Although there was still a lingering odor on the deck, it was much better than before.
Lu Yuan looked at everyone; they were much better off than they had been half a month ago.
For the past two weeks, Lu Yuan has been bringing them a lot of food every day.
Basically, everyone on the deck had enough food.
So Lu Yuan pointed to the large ship where he lived.
"If you don't mind, please come aboard now. Don't crowd, one at a time. There are too many of you, so it will probably take us two or three trips to get you all back."
Upload in an orderly fashion, and please do not push or shove. If there is any sign of pushing or shoving, then no one should board the boat. Also, once on board, please follow the instructions of the people on board. Got it?
Everyone readily agreed.
Lu Yuan was very satisfied, and then opened the door of the first suspended staircase.
The people got up and formed a long queue, walking one after another down the suspended ladder toward Lu Yuan's ship.
Twenty minutes later, Lu Yuan's ship was full, with two-thirds of the people remaining on the deck.
Lu Yuan's large ship is now packed with people, including all kinds of cabins and the engine room.
Seeing that everyone on the boat had pressed the waterline down again, Lu Yuan helplessly raised his hand to stop the people who were about to board.
"Alright, the rest of you can wait until the next round to be safe!"
Then Lu Yuan instructed Xu Changbing to steer the boat toward the distant mountains.
When they reached the first mountain, everyone set foot on this familiar land once again.
Tears streamed down their faces as they lay on the ground, kissing this familiar place.
Although the ground was dirty, they didn't mind at all.
Compared to that cold, steel deck where you could only turn your body slightly, they felt this place was paradise.
After glancing at them, Lu Yuan nodded slightly and then spoke to Xu Changbing.
"Now, take some men and arrange accommodations for them. Remember, never place them near our base. It's always good to be cautious. Even if they don't intend to harm us, we should still be prepared. This is a form of protection for both of us!"
Xu Changbing knew what Lu Yuan meant, so he immediately led a few people toward an open space in the distance.
And so, Lu Yuan returned to the large ship and brought back the second and third waves of people.
The three groups totaled nearly three thousand people, suddenly adding three thousand mouths to feed, putting immediate pressure on Lu Yuan's food reserves.
Originally, the plan was to plant the crops as soon as possible so that they could survive for a period of time.
But now things seem a bit tense. After thinking for a moment, Lu Yuan decided to go find Luo Xuan.
At Luo Xuan's camp, the problem of food reserves has not yet been resolved.
However, Lu Yuan had already given them all the plots of land they had previously cultivated.
If Lu Yuan's assessment is correct, they have already begun planting their first crop of grain.
After several months, it's estimated that the harvest should be ready.
But Lu Yuan couldn't wait these few months, because his food reserves were simply not enough to support them for these few months. What he needed now was to acquire several factories.
The factories are specialized in producing protein chips, and they source proteins from a variety of sources.
Although Lu Yuan didn't know where they got the protein blocks from, he knew from the smell of those jet-black protein blocks that they were definitely not good stuff.
As for talk of hygiene and nutrition, that's laughable. We're struggling to even get enough to eat, let alone hygiene and nutrition.
Lu Yuan entrusted the task of purchasing several protein block manufacturing plants to his father.
Lu's father was already very familiar with the business there, and he drove the boat to Luo Xuan's camp.
Now, when Luo Xuan saw that Lu's father had returned, but it wasn't Lu Yuan, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
