Chapter 144 Fruit
You should know that after the country of origin discharged nuclear wastewater in 2030, the color of the ocean became darker and darker, and by 2040 it had turned black. Most of the marine life died, and humans no longer consumed marine seafood, but instead ate expensive seafood farmed in the ocean.
Now, less than three years after the end of the world, the color of the ocean has miraculously turned blue.
“Hehe, the ocean is magical, it turns blue by itself. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it. One year after the end of the world, it slowly turned blue, and now it’s getting clearer and clearer.” Chi Yiyi said with a smile.
Pu Zhi followed not too far away and echoed: "It is indeed magical and beautiful."
When Chi Yiyi heard Pu Zhi praising Haiyang for her beauty, she smiled even more happily.
The two walked for about ten minutes and stopped under a small white building.
The coastline here protrudes out a bit, and there is green grass all the way up. The highest point is three stories high from the sea, and the white building is located at the highest point.
It has only one and a half floors and is very small, covering an area of no more than 50 square meters. The two floors combined are less than 100 square meters. The white color on the outside of the wall does not look like wall paint, but more like it is made of crushed natural materials. You can vaguely see white things similar to conch shells.
It is worth mentioning that there is a lighthouse more than ten meters high standing next to it, which is as high as three white houses.
Chi Yiyi symbolically lifted the latch on the door. The door might as well be unlocked. He could open it with just a slight lift.
She smiled and held out her hand, saying, "Sister Dongyue, please come in."
As soon as the door is opened, you can see the endless blue sea through the white walls covered with dream catchers woven with hemp ropes and hanging with shells, the clean and bright light-colored living room, and the white hollow flower curtains blown by the wind. From time to time, a corner of the transparent window is revealed, and the sea surface is sparkling under the morning sun, as if it was coated with a layer of gold foil.
Together with the cottage, it forms a fresh and bright watercolor painting. Pu Zhi had only seen such beautiful scenery in paintings and never expected that such a scene would exist in reality.
Chi Yiyi looked at the stunned Pu Zhi and walked in first with a smile: "It looks good, right? I have slowly renovated this place over the years. I go to the city every week to look for things just to find the right things to decorate this place."
After hearing her words, Pu Zhi came back to his senses, looked down to see if his shoes were dirty before daring to step in.
In such hot weather, entering this house feels like entering an air-conditioned room. The constant cool sea breeze makes the heat in your heart disappear completely.
Chi Yiyi pointed to the table in the living room and said, "Please sit down. I'll go get you some water."
After that, she brought out a kettle and two glasses from the kitchen and filled two glasses.
Perhaps because she was afraid that Pu Zhi would not dare to drink it, she picked up a cup and gulped it down: "I got this water from the river just now. I boiled it, so you can drink it without worry."
Watching her explain, Pu Zhi smiled and drank half of it. He was not worried at all. If there was really a problem, his talent would have reminded him long ago.
Seeing that Pu Zhi believed in him so much, Chi Yiyi was very happy and insisted on showing Pu Zhi something good. He also held a stick in his hand, with an iron hook fixed on the top with tape and wire. This rough method looked like it was homemade.
Pu Zhi followed her out of another door in the living room closer to the sea. There was a small lawn behind it, about three or four meters away from the sea.
Chi Yiyi skipped to the edge of the cliff. Pu Zhi looked down and saw a huge cactus. Its branches occupied half of the cliff. There were many fruits on it. There were about 20 to 30 fruits at a glance, but only three were ripe.
Chi Yiyi took out a wooden stick with a hook tied to it and stretched it towards the red fruit. The first one was closer, so she gently raised her hand and put it down, and the hook went straight into the center of the fruit. She turned the stick left and right, and the fruit fell off.
She happily took back the stick, carefully removed the cactus fruit from it, and then placed it on the grass beside her. She wanted to pick a second one, but she looked at Pu Zhi worriedly: "Sister Dongyue, you can't steal it, wait until I pick them and then eat them together."
After seeing Pu Zhi promise not to cheat, she felt relieved to hook the second one. The third one was a bit far away and she couldn't reach it no matter how hard she tried.
Seeing her small body swaying on the edge of the cliff, Pu Zhixin also started to worry.
Suddenly, she lost her balance and one of her feet fell off. The waves in the sea were extremely turbulent at this moment, as if they were waiting to swallow Chi Yi into their belly.
Pu Zhi reached out his hand to save her, but she sat down on the ground to steady herself.
Even so, she didn't drop the stick in her hand. She patted her butt and stood up quickly: "It's too scary. I won't pick it. I won't pick it."
But looking at the fully ripe cactus fruits, she felt reluctant to pick them because they would go bad if she didn't pick them.
The next second, the fruit floated up out of thin air and slowly appeared in front of Chi Yiyi.
She reached out and took the fruit, turned her head in surprise and looked at Pu Zhi: "Sister Dongyue, your ability is amazing!"
Pu Zhi looked at her with a faint smile and gladly accepted the compliment.
Chi Yiyi picked up three fruits, happily returned to the house, and divided the fruits evenly into two portions.
Although this thing is nothing to Pu Zhi, for ordinary people, being able to eat fruit in the end times is simply unthinkable. Even those with special abilities have to think twice before they can bear the pain of buying a little of something as precious as fruit.
There is no way. There are not many crops that can survive in this horrible weather. Even at Base No. 3, there are only dozens of fruit trees. The heating and cooling equipment are turned on all day long, and the fruits only bear fruit once or twice a year. Isn't the price going up rapidly?
Being able to serve fruits can be said to be the highest treatment for entertaining guests in the apocalypse.
"Hehe, this is so delicious. I usually can't bear to eat it. Sister Dongyue, you come and try it." Chi Yiyi looked at Pu Zhi expectantly.
Pu Zhi peeled the half piece of bright red cactus fruit and put it into his mouth. It tasted eight parts sweet and two parts sour, with a little less moisture, but overall it tasted very good.
After getting Pu Zhi's answer, Chi Yiyi's eyes were almost smiling away. She put the red fruit into her mouth and sucked her fingers reluctantly.
