Chapter 423 Storm. Luxury Cruise Ship
Chu An had the same plan. He immediately changed to a speedboat with full fuel, installed a satellite locator on the bow, and while the sun was shining brightly, he told Gu Ye to quickly leave the waters.
She sat at the stern, watching the rolling waves, all the while immersed in the joy of collecting the boat and the oil.
"Xiao An, if you are tired, take a rest." Gu Ye was also afraid that she would get seasick again.
"Yeah." She responded, and her mental power returned to the space and continued exploring on the ship.
The containers on the transport ship were neatly stacked, most of them were standard containers, and each ship had at least 5,000. She found the cargo manifest, and it was more than 5,000, each transport ship had 8,000 containers, and they were only half full.
The items on the list were divided into dry goods, bulk cargo, liquids and special containers. In fact, there were more detailed classifications based on structure and function, but she didn't intend to sort them out one by one.
There are a total of 10 transport ships, and the dry cargo containers contain daily necessities, textiles, handicrafts, chemical products, hardware and electrical appliances, electronic machinery, instruments and machine parts, glass plates, steel products, books and toys, etc.
Bulk containers are mainly used to transport unpackaged solid granular and powdered goods, including feed, resin, borax, sand, cement, grain, etc.
There was a wide variety of things, everything you could imagine, even more complete than what she had collected before.
There are two transport ships loaded with industrial raw materials, including steel, copper, aluminum, chemicals, coal, timber and other raw materials.
One transport ship was carrying medical equipment and medicines, but because the refrigeration equipment stopped working at some point, many biological agents with high storage requirements and strong effectiveness had become ineffective.
Chu An felt very sorry!
After a while, Shen Xun also drove to the vicinity of the boat and went on board alone to continue searching.
"Where is Wang Ce?" Chu An asked casually.
"Grandma Xia left them here. These two have been studying the impact of the apocalypse on plant growth, and it seems that Grandma Xia has made a new breakthrough."
Chu An heard something wrong, "Any results?"
Shen Xun paused, "It's still speculation at the moment. There may be some mutant plants that have no impact on the ecology, but on humans..."
He didn't continue, but Chu An could imagine that after animals evolved, plants would inevitably evolve as well, and would be more aggressive.
In her previous life, shortly before her death, someone discovered vines that could actively attack humans. There were also some flowers, plants and trees that were originally non-toxic but were now highly poisonous. If the skin was cut by their branches and leaves, it would become red and swollen, and in severe cases, it would fester and lead to death.
This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is the smell attack. Those that can bloom and bear fruit will diffuse poisonous gas around themselves during the flowering period. Some are several meters, and some are several kilometers. If humans pass by, they will either fall into hallucinations and attack each other, or die directly.
The killing range of plants is very large and pervasive, which is completely unimaginable. It is like you planted a pot of ornamental daffodils, and your whole family died the next day.
In a way, evolved plants are more difficult to deal with than carnivorous animals. Unfortunately, she only heard about it and read about it in the plant avoidance manual issued by the headquarters, and she did not live to see the day when she had to fight against plants.
"I remember that the plants mutated in the previous life after the white fog." Her tone was serious, or rather, this matter had to be taken seriously, even if she had space and golden fingers.
"Grandma Xia means that there is such a trend, but it requires a catalyst. Maybe the white mist is the catalyst."
"Ah!" She sighed, not in the mood to continue exploring. No matter how powerful she was, she couldn't stop the natural disaster from happening. She could only passively wait and defend. The feeling of powerlessness came over her again. "I'll go see Grandma Xia tonight."
"Don't think too much. What's coming will eventually come." Shen Xun comforted, "Grandma Xia also said that plant mutation can speed up ecological restoration. Maybe if the ecology is restored, the natural disaster will end."
"I hope so." Chu An is not pessimistic. Even if the mission of the mutated plants is to restore the ecology, who can guarantee that humans are not a virus that they want to repair?
"Here... I'll leave it to you." Chu An looked at the mountain of containers, a little embarrassed, "Don't worry about sorting them out. I don't have to worry about food and clothing now, and I don't need them."
"Okay, I see. I'll see what happens. I have nothing to do anyway."
"Xiao An, Xiao An." Gu Ye's voice brought her thoughts back to reality, and her mental power was also withdrawn at the same time.
"Look, isn't that a cruise ship?"
The speedboat stopped on the sea. Gu Ye and Lao Chu were already standing at the bow, looking into the distance.
At this time, the sky was still clear blue. Chu An looked in the direction of Gu Ye's finger and saw a luxury cruise ship. Its appearance was even more gorgeous than what she had seen on TV. It was like a moving small town.
The cruise ship slowly approached them. Chu An hurriedly smeared mud on Gu Ye and Lao Chu's faces, and did the same to himself.
"Hello, who are you?" someone on the boat asked through a loudspeaker, speaking English in a weak voice.
"We are lost." Chu An replied in English.
After a while, a soft ladder was lowered from the opposite side, and someone waved for them to get on board.
"Are you going up?" Gu Ye asked.
"Get on board." Chu An was very interested in this cruise ship, but he couldn't rob it. If there were ordinary survivors on the ship, he could exchange them with supplies or take them back to land. If they were robbers... hehe... I'm sorry.
In an instant, she forgot about the mutated plants. Mainly because there was no point in thinking too much about it now!
The three of them tied the speedboat to the side of the boat and climbed aboard using the ladder. Chu An was afraid of danger on the boat, so he led the way.
After coming up, I immediately felt something was wrong. The deck was covered in blood and there was a foul stench.
She immediately looked around and saw eight people on the deck. Six of them were foreigners, and the remaining two were Asians with black hair and black eyes, but she didn't know which country they were from.
These people were all covered in dust and looked lifeless, but they held their knives tightly in their hands and looked at them with fierce and greedy eyes.
She turned around and pulled Lao Chu and Gu Ye up, and the three of them stood side by side.
"Don't be afraid." The man who was shouting at them had blond hair, blue eyes, a beard and a round face. He was at least 1.80 meters tall. Now he was so thin that his bones were visible, and his face looked a little unrecognizable.
He asked them in English what country they were from. After learning that they were from China, he became even more enthusiastic. "I like China very much. I studied in China for four years. I am so happy to meet you. Oh, look, I forgot to introduce myself."
He straightened his already dirty collar and continued in all seriousness, "My Chinese name is Taishan. I am a Chinese and one of the survivors of this cruise ship. There are only a few of us left on the ship. The captain and other crew members have died of illness."
