Grandpa's family had already prepared the meal. Bai Shuang took out a few jars of fruit, opened two jars, put them on a plate, and ate them as a side dish.
Ling Liyuan picked up a grape, put it in his mouth, and found it sweet and sour, very fresh.
He looked at Bai Shuang, "Did you store this before the disaster? It's so fresh!"
Bai Shuang nodded, "It was preserved using an array."
The old man glanced at Bai Shuang but said nothing.
Bai Shuang thought of Uncle Li's airplane, "Uncle Ling, can you fix airplanes?"
Mr. Lu and Mr. Ling: "Is your plane broken?"
"No, no, it was another plane that got washed away by the water."
Mr. Lu: "How many airplanes do you own?"
Why are you asking this?
Indeed, in the apocalypse, having even one airplane is already a remarkable achievement, yet she still possessed one.
But Bai Shuang wouldn't tell him, even though he was her grandfather. In his dictionary, the interests of the nation always outweighed personal gains and losses.
Otherwise, Lu Yu wouldn't have lost his parents at such a young age.
Old Lu turned his head, realizing he had misspoke. He shouldn't have pried into the girl's financial privacy out of mere curiosity.
Mr. Ling: "If the hardware is broken, our team can fix it, but we can't do that with software; we're not that kind of professional."
Bai Shuang remembered; he was an architect.
"Grandpa, shouldn't the Air Force have people who can repair airplanes?"
Old Master Lu wanted to say, "You recognize your grandfather now?" But then he thought, "Why bother arguing with a girl?"
Where is the plane now?
“I can get it to the airport.”
What model is it?
"It's similar to mine, the latest model in the world before the disaster."
Everyone, ...
"Please take some time to put it at the airport, and I'll have a maintenance engineer go and take a look."
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
She turned to Mr. Ling and said, "Uncle Ling, we earned a lot of points recently. What do you think we should make?"
"If the earth is land or ice after the storm, that's fine, at least people can walk on it and live on it."
But what if it's all water?
Although our house can be used on land, sea, and air, the most energy-efficient state is when it is stationary or submerged.
Due to its excessive weight, the altitude required for flight is much higher than the fuel consumption of an airplane, making long-term flight impossible.
So I want a big cruise ship; it's always good to be prepared.
Mr. Ling: "If you want to build a large cruise ship, your current points are probably not enough."
Moreover, our base's metal reserves do not allow for this.
Currently, everyone is going to the sea to salvage, and fewer people are scavenging in the city.
Bai Shuang: "No rush, let's get everyone to retrieve the food first."
She needed to accumulate points, but her intuition told her that there wouldn't always be food in the sea; it might get polluted at any time.
After the earthquake, buildings on the original sites in large cities will be more severely damaged, making it easier to obtain steel bars and other materials.
Take advantage of this period when seafood quality is relatively good and stock up on some of the best quality seafood.
She herself certainly didn't lack food, but she had her own subordinates and Lu Yu's army.
Not just for Lu Yu, but for the country, and for himself.
With the courage of those soldiers, I was able to boldly open a hospital and a pharmaceutical factory at the base; otherwise, there would be plenty of people who would dislike me.
Without the protection of force, all peace and harmony are illusory.
This is similar to how the ancient Central Plains civilization was frequently invaded by nomadic tribes from beyond the Great Wall; it's the same principle.
Since I chose Lu Yu, chose to live among people, and chose a rich and colorful life, there are some things that should be protected.
Bai Shuang sometimes wonders if it would have been better to stockpile supplies, hide away, and live a life of abundance and solitude.
But humans are social animals. If someone is alone for a long time, coupled with the devastation caused by the Great Destruction, they will eventually develop mental problems.
What's the point of such a life? No love, no family, no friendship, just growing old alone.
July arrived quickly. Thanks to the combined efforts of the military and civilians at the base over the past two months, the base had stockpiled a large quantity of high-quality dried seafood and sea salt.
Bai Shuang also used her points to purchase a large amount of supplies, both fresh and dried, and she stocked up on a lot of sea salt.
When she and Lu Yu returned to the coast, it was no longer just the Kyoto base that was fishing there.
Hearing that food could be found here, everyone who could come rushed over.
Along the long shore, there are tents of all sizes, and some people without tents soak in the seawater when it gets hot at noon.
Wet it and then dry it in the sun.
Grandpa Lu and his family, mindful of the food shortages in the apocalypse, not only did not stop them from fishing in front of their homes, but also specially dispatched soldiers to maintain order.
Moreover, any refugees who come here can receive three days' worth of free seafood porridge, twice a day, and filtered water is also provided.
Those with the means can rent a boat to go out to sea and salvage, while those without can help others by picking, cleaning, and processing seafood to earn points.
Bai Shuang and her companion walked along the shore, looking around as they went. A fishing boat approached, and from a distance, they could tell from the five-pointed star on the boat that it was a military vessel belonging to their base.
But the people on the ship weren't wearing military uniforms; they were probably rented by survivors from the base.
Seeing that the deck is full, the haul must have been quite good.
Suddenly, the snow leopard howled wildly towards a spot on the sea.
Bai Shuang asked in surprise, "Are there pirates?"
Lu Yu frowned, looking in that direction.
Unfortunately, they were too far away to help.
Before long, many heads appeared around the ship.
The people on the boat noticed the commotion and immediately became alert. They took out knives and sticks and spread out to look around the boat.
By this time, some people had already begun climbing onto the boat.
The people on the boat had a good position, and when they saw someone coming aboard, they would knock them down with a stick.
But the people underwater showed no fear, continuing to climb upwards one after another.
The people on the boat fought incessantly, but soon they became exhausted, while the people underwater continued to climb up.
Their momentum was such that they weren't just trying to grab seafood; they wanted to take the boats along with it.
Finally, someone climbed up and started fighting with the people on the boat.
Once it happened, it happened again; many more heads crawled around the boat.
"Give me the sniper rifle."
Bai Shuang took a gun from her backpack and handed it to Lu Yu, then took one for herself and fired at the pirates.
As the gunshots rang out, the pirates fell into the water one by one. They were finally frightened, abandoned their fishing boats, and scattered underwater.
Seeing that everything was alright, the two put away their guns and headed back.
"It looks like General Lu and his wife!"
Someone on the ship was crying.
They survived the ordeal, but they are still shaken by the experience.
"Of course it was them. Otherwise, who would be so kind as to save us?"
“The Bai family saved us during the pandemic, and they saved us again this time. From now on, if anyone dares to speak ill of them, I will fight them to the death.”
They all knelt down and kowtowed to the two men, saying, "Thank you for saving our lives!"
The two didn't want to meet them, so Lu Yu waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
Bai Shuang said, "When we get back, we should remind the Zuo family father and his two sons to be careful."
