Chapter 247 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
After finishing the communication with the new emperor, Lu Xuan learned from the village chief that there was nothing wrong with the Huo family army camp, except that the greenhouse was gone just like theirs, so he didn't bother with it for the time being.
He turned around and explained the current situation to the other villagers. Everyone looked at each other in confusion after realizing that they could not stay here any longer.
The female relatives who were still coaxing each other had obvious reluctance on their faces.
Having lived here for so long, they had already regarded this place as their new home and thought they would spend the subsequent disaster period here. They didn't expect to leave so soon.
Everyone was in a state of mixed emotions, their thoughts racing. But no one said anything like, "Can't we just leave?" Instead, they simply asked, "Shall we leave now?"
Wu Chengze asked: "Where exactly are you going? Do you have any plans in mind?"
Lu Xuan said, "Perhaps we'll have to live on the sea for a while before the water recedes completely. During this time, we'll need to have some supplies. This is originally land, without any marine resources. The best option would be to head to the deep sea, where the resources are more abundant."
The villagers, who had seen firsthand how many fish could be caught in the sea at once, nodded in agreement.
"However," Lu Xuan changed the subject, his gaze returning to the turbulent and deep water below, "Before we leave, we still need to recover as much damage as possible."
Zhang Chengming and the others were moved and said excitedly: "You mean——!"
A moment later.
The Lu family's boat No. 1 was put on the water. The hunting team and some of the guards, a total of more than 40 people, put on diving equipment and jumped into the water with the sound of "splash".
As the team leader, Lu Xuan led the way and took everyone diving for about ten meters. Finally, they vaguely saw the shadow of the greenhouse through the turbid water.
In fact, if you want to increase visibility, it is best to wait a day or two until the water is not so turbid before going down.
But the longer they delay, the worse the heating situation will become. They are now racing against time and naturally cannot afford any delay.
The place where they fell into the water was in a newly planted area.
There are only about a hundred acres on the hillside, and the rest are on the other two hills. They are too small and are unlikely to be preserved under the impact of the tsunami aftermath. There is no need to waste time.
On the other hand, in the new planting area, there are enough fields, and the greenhouses are not all wrapped in one big greenhouse covering thousands of acres, but are built at intervals of ten acres, so the possibility of survival is very high.
Sure enough, when the group walked along the completely collapsed greenhouses, they saw many greenhouses that were still intact and the crops inside were not flooded. They were quite large!
[Great! There's still a greenhouse that hasn't been destroyed!]
[My food! Rice, wheat, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes——!]
[What do you mean by yours? It belongs to the host and the villagers.]
[Regardless of who owned it, it's a good thing it wasn't completely lost! I saw that the anchor's orchard seemed to have some parts still intact.]
The young and strong men who followed waved their fists excitedly when they saw the crops that were not damaged, and then looked at Lu Xuan together, asking him with their eyes how to get in.
Once they go in, the sea water will flow back, and the greenhouse that was originally saved will be lost.
Lu Xuan: It’s simple, just prepare an isolation area.
Lu Xuan gathered his supernatural powers to create a closed space to cover all of them. He then collected the water in the earth wall space into the storage space, and then smashed an entrance and exit towards the greenhouse.
Isn't this coming in?
Everyone took off their masks, oxygen tanks, and other equipment and put them aside. Looking at the crops growing thrivingly in front of them, they said happily, "Everything is still going well! That's great!"
Li Jing's expression relaxed. "I thought all the food was gone. Fortunately, it's okay."
They didn't talk too long. Lu Xuan quickly used his wood-related abilities to instantly ripen the crops, which would still take some time to mature. He then took out several harvesters, tillers, and agricultural robots to work.
Lu Xuan handed the necessary machinery to everyone and said, "Separate yourselves and find all the greenhouses that are still intact and harvest them as soon as possible."
After the farm machines start working, they are only responsible for collecting the harvested crops.
A group of people swept through the greenhouses one by one and quickly collected a large amount of food.
During this period, Lu Xuan also went to the greenhouse area that had been flooded.
The mushrooms in the mushroom house had long been washed away by the water, so we just skipped them.
The bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest can be dug up quickly.
As for the food area.
The crops growing on the surface were also destroyed and could not be saved. However, even if the branches and leaves of crops in the soil such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams were swept away by the water, the fruits under the soil were still intact and could be harvested quickly.
In addition to the fields, the orchard and lotus pond under his name must not be left out.
Among them, although the lotus pond was also flooded, the lotus roots were buried like the potatoes and sweet potatoes and were not damaged. They could be dug out and eaten.
The location of the orchard is a bit small, and most of the area is outside the new planting area, so the degree of damage is not low. In the end, Lu Xuan only saved more than 200 trees.
Regardless of the variety, all crops are lost and can only be replanted later.
But compared to a total loss, saving one-fifth is some consolation.
During the rush to harvest, people were sent from various towns.
Lu Xuan sold a total of more than 100,000 sets of diving equipment to these people, hundreds of ships of different sizes, and countless mobile cabins, tents and other camping equipment.
·
The group worked hard to harvest for most of the day before returning to the ship with a large amount of food and a lot of usable greenhouse materials to reunite with the others.
Li Tie pressed on: "How is it? How many people were rescued?"
Lu Xuan: "About two million jin."
That is about one-third of the original harvest.
Two-thirds of the team's resources were gone in an instant, and both Li Tie and the others felt the pain very much.
But on second thought, being able to save two million kilograms is much better than the expected loss of everything.
Because some people's greenhouses were completely destroyed, this batch of grain was not suitable for distribution according to its original ownership.
Before Lu Xuan and others came up, Li Tie had already discussed with others that the harvested grain should be divided equally according to the land each family owned, or the number of superpowers they had.
After all the supplies were collected, the villagers had no reason to stay any longer. After taking a final look at the hilly area that had completely changed beyond recognition, everyone prepared to leave.
The sea is rough and there are other dangers to be encountered, and the size of the boats used during the rainy season is no longer sufficient.
Considering other factors...
Lu Xuan searched for keywords in the system mall and spent 500 million to buy a luxury cruise ship with a passenger capacity of over 10,000 people.
Only when the villagers arrived at the sea area where they used to fish did Lu Xuan take out the super-large cruise ship.
Everyone looked up at the huge ship and almost dropped their jaws in shock.
"This is too big, too high!" Li Tie gasped. "How many people can fit on such a big boat?"
Lu Xuan said, "No matter how many people it can accommodate, it will only be occupied by the hundred or so people from our village."
Old Master Zhang clutched his chest and said, somewhat unbearably, "We live here? Isn't that too extravagant?"
Lu Xuan asked back, "Do you always want to ride in a small boat and be overturned by the waves?"
Mr. Zhang: “…” Of course not.
Lu Xuan: "The boat is for people to ride, and the village has enough public supplies, so paying for accommodation is not a problem."
He looked at the others, "Don't you want to go up and take a look?"
"I want to! I want to! Brother, I want to go up!" Lu Chen was the first one who couldn't wait to raise his hand and shout loudly.
"I want to go up too!" Xiong Dabao said right after him.
Seeing this, the other children also excitedly shouted that they wanted to get on the big ship.
The elders didn't really want to try it out. After the initial shock, they were now eager to try it out. They really wanted to see how magnificent such a big ship would be.
After the ship's gangway was brought over, everyone excitedly boarded the cruise ship.
Everyone found everything new and exciting. Even Lu Qing asked Lu Xuan with great interest, "Ah Xuan, is there any difference between this boat and the one we took before?"
Lu Xuan had also just changed boats, and had only a cursory look at the interior. He could only say based on his experience riding modern cruise ships before the apocalypse, "Cruise ships are primarily for pleasure, so they should have a wide variety of entertainment facilities. The rooms will also be larger and more luxurious than our previous boat. You'll know the rest once you get inside and take a look."
Others hurriedly said, "Then please take us around."
They themselves didn't dare to do so. It was such a big ship, and if they were not familiar with it, they would easily get lost.
Next, Lu Xuan took more than a hundred villagers to visit the cruise ship.
Leaving the deck and entering the first floor, there is a very spacious hall with Western-style decoration. The crystal chandeliers and circular strip lights above the head illuminate the entire hall brightly.
Further in, there are dining areas and empty shops with no merchandise.
The village's newly purchased ship has only five floors and no elevator, but a cruise ship has as many as twenty-five floors, so an elevator is naturally necessary.
The villagers who took the elevator for the first time looked very excited, and the children even pestered their parents to let them take the elevator repeatedly, treating the elevator as a new toy.
The second floor is the economy class, with single cabins, double cabins, and triple cabins. There are hundreds of rooms on the entire floor.
Li Tie exclaimed in amazement: "This floor alone is enough for our entire village to live in."
Lu Xuan curled his lips and said, "The room here is too small and there is no room for movement. There are better rooms upstairs."
Economy class rooms have small windows and little space, which is fine for a short stay, but not very comfortable for a stay of several months.
More than half of the cabins on the cruise ship are separated by several floors. These floors will have restaurants, amusement areas, shopping areas, etc., and the consumption standards are also based on the guests on the corresponding floors.
Going up from the second floor, the next residential area is the sixth floor. Here are the comfortable rooms with large windows, better lighting, and more views of the outside scenery. Some rooms also have a balcony, which in disguise increases the area of the house.
From the tenth floor upwards, there are residential areas every few floors. The higher the floor, the higher the specifications.
The regional content interspersed between them is even richer.
A restaurant and banquet hall large enough to accommodate thousands of people; a shopping area that is currently vacant but occupies a larger area than the restaurant;
There are also indoor playgrounds, cinemas, arcades, holographic game rooms, gyms, bumper car parks, and go-kart tracks;
Archery range, shooting range, golf course, rock climbing wall, vacuum experience chamber;
There is an indoor swimming pool with a glass roof and large floor-to-ceiling windows around it, a hot spring pool, a sunbathing area, and an indoor botanical garden that takes up most of the floor.
In addition to the interior, there are also outdoor swimming pools outside the cruise ship, some of which are equipped with wave-making equipment, allowing tourists to enjoy the joy of safe surfing.
During the entire visit, the villagers kept expressing their wonders, just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They wished they had eight pairs of eyes to look around, as if they could never see enough.
When Li Tuo, Chen Rong, Xiong Mao and others passed by the entertainment area, they were eager to try it out on the spot.
In the end, they were all stopped by Li Tie. There was no rush to experience it, and it was more important to get a general understanding of the layout of the ship first.
Cruise ships are large in size and have many facilities, so the corresponding energy consumption is naturally not small.
However, neither Lu Xuan nor Li Tie, who holds a large amount of public resources, cares too much about these things.
As for using public funds to directly purchase the cruise ship, some individuals have thought about this.
But when he asked Lu Xuan about the price, he gave up the idea.
Forget it, such a big ship will probably be idle except for its use during the disaster period. There is no need to spend so much food on it.
By the time everyone had a general tour of the cruise ship, it was already very late.
Lu Xuan said, "Everyone, please find a room to sleep in first. Meet at the restaurant on the first floor tomorrow morning and we'll discuss the follow-up."
The children in the village were already so sleepy that they were yawning repeatedly, and some had even fallen asleep in their parents' arms. The adults had also experienced a lot of stimulation today and were also exhausted physically and mentally. Without saying much, they just picked a guest room on a random floor and dispersed.
Lu Xuan took the Lu family directly to the 20th floor and chose one of the presidential suites with the best sea view to settle in.
After the other two adults and two children in the family were arranged to stay in the rooms in the suite, Lu Xuan lay down on the bed and relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief and opened the system background.
