Chapter 436 The Life of a Cannon Fodder in the Apocalypse (11)



After the first rain, more and more people came to the dock, all carrying large and small bags, with all their belongings.

Then the number of people on the boats next to it increased, and it was unclear whether they were rented boats or boats that relatives had jointly purchased.

Tang Baozhu was always worried that there might be infighting among the people in the boats next to them.

After all, with more people, there are bound to be more conflicts, especially in the post-apocalyptic environment where everyone is particularly irritable. The slightest thing that doesn't go their way can easily lead to arguments, which can then escalate into fights.

There were many people under Tang Baozhu's bed shouting for her to lower the elevator so they could come up.

Tang Baozhu ignored their shameless behavior and pretended not to see them. Her boat was not one for them to board at will.

Moreover, her boat is so tall that even if someone wanted to board it, they wouldn't be able to get on, so she wasn't worried at all about them climbing up.

After Lin Shengtian and his group arrived on their own boat and saw the chaos outside, they simply called Tang Baozhu and suggested that everyone leave the dock and float on the sea, which would be safer.

Tang Baozhu agreed without hesitation. She had been living by the dock for several months and was already tired of it.

They quickly ordered the robot to drive the ship out, and after sailing for about a nautical mile, they spotted Lin Shengtian's ship.

Lin Shengtian's boat was much smaller than Tang Baozhu's boat, only about 20 meters long, but fortunately it had two decks.

However, his ship couldn't hold too many supplies, especially since his family of four lived on board. It's likely that what he was storing were some very important items.

After the two boats were joined together, Tang Baozhu immediately asked him if he wanted to put a rope between the two boats.

This way, we won't have to worry about big waves separating the two boats in the future; at least we'll be safer together.

Lin Shengtian had no objections, of course. He was also worried about being separated from his little crybaby. If he didn't need to drive the boat now, he would have preferred to live on the little crybaby's boat.

After Tang Baozhu learned that he wanted to stay on her ship, she immediately sent a puppet to his ship to help him sail, and then brought the Lin family to her ship.

Fortunately, Lin Shengtian's parents and grandfather were very sensible. Every day, they would either stay inside the house or be on the deck with fishing rods, preparing to fish.

They certainly have the skills, and the most impressive one is Grandpa Lin, who gets to eat fresh fish every day, and there's always more than he can eat.

But what they couldn't finish wouldn't go to waste; they were all pickled into salted dried fish. Everyone was speculating that if the apocalypse came, they might return to the old days of bartering.

Therefore, people don't waste any edible food; if they can't finish it, they just store it up.

Tang Baozhu just felt that it was a waste of salt to pickle it into salted dried fish. Who knows if salt will become particularly precious in the future?

They simply had a few puppets buy a dryer, the kind that can dry three or four hundred pounds at a time.

It takes 12 hours each time to dry the contents, which is equivalent to drying for a whole day and night without stopping, and can weigh about 700 to 800 kilograms.

I didn't really intend to buy a dryer at first, but I later discovered that dryers are indeed very useful. At the very least, vegetables can be dried directly into dried vegetables, and even mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms that I grow myself can be dried directly into dried mushrooms and dried wood ear mushrooms.

The device is so useful that I was worried it would break easily, so I bought two extra as spares, and also bought some small accessories. Anyway, with the robot, I don't have to worry about no one being able to fix it.

After getting the dryer, Grandpa Lin's passion for fishing has only grown stronger. Perhaps the old man feels that he is not just a freeloader and is worried that he will be useless in his old age and be disliked by others.

It can only be said that the old man is overthinking things. Neither Tang Baozhu nor his son and grandson lacked his food, let alone his son and grandson, who were all very filial.

Seeing the old man so old, fishing on the deck every day, I felt a little sorry for him, but I couldn't persuade him otherwise.

In the end, Tang Baozhu couldn't resist her soft heart and took all the spiritual fish, crabs, and pearl oysters she had acquired in the cultivation world—since she had already collected all the pearls inside—and wrapped them in the seafood porridge when they weren't looking.

Of course, when they directly ordered food made by puppets and thought it was delicious, they only attributed it to the puppets' skill; it was definitely not due to the ingredients.

If they eat more things that contain spiritual energy, their bodies should be healthier, so they won't have to worry even if they fish at the beach every day.

That day, Lin Shengtian received a phone call. The government instructed everyone to gather all the ships together, preferably chaining them all together, so that when the first wave crashed onto the mainland, no one would have to worry about being separated.

Especially Tang Baozhu's ship, which was so big and stable, I hope more ships can be moored on it.

Everything is in order now; they must have followed the call of the state. The ships have been sailing at sea for two days and have finally reached the designated location.

I immediately spotted those behemoths at the very front. They must be state-owned vessels, as private ships don't usually come in that size. They looked to be several hundred meters long, and possibly even longer.

The large ships were quite far apart, and there were other ships surrounding them.

After the boats sailed up, people in military uniforms directed them to continue sailing in a certain direction. Once they reached the designated location, they were immediately moored together with the other boats.

Of course, there is a gap of several meters in the middle, so that smaller boats can have living space if the waves come.

As soon as the boats came to a stop, someone came to register them, recording how many people were on each boat and how big the boat was.

Fortunately, they don't record what's inside the boat, otherwise I'm worried that they might expose what's inside.

To Tang Baozhu's surprise, the foreigners didn't seem to believe it at all. They even mocked her for being suspicious of the slightest thing that happened in her country.

There are also those small countries that are on good terms with the government, and they are quite obedient. They prepare when told to, which just goes to show that listening to advice leads to a good life.

Those countries that don't listen to advice, especially those that are doing well, I really hope a huge wave comes and wipes them out.
