Chapter 439 The Life of a Cannon Fodder in the Apocalypse (14)



Lin's mother probably felt that the apocalypse would end soon, and thought it wouldn't be too late to have children after it was over.

Unfortunately, the end of the apocalypse will take at least 100 years, as if the whole world has been purified, removing all the bad things, and then returning to normal in the end.

If things go according to her plan, she'll never have a grandson in her lifetime.

Lin Shengtian did know some inside information, but he wouldn't tell his mother, nor would his father or grandfather tell his wife and daughter-in-law.

Although they also longed to have grandchildren and great-grandchildren, they didn't want to put pressure on the younger generation. They just felt that their son and grandson were too useless, being in their thirties and still not having a child.

Tang Baozhu woke up around noon, feeling refreshed and invigorated after a good night's sleep.

After washing up and eating the food prepared by the puppet, they went straight to the deck outside, where Lin Shengtian and his family were.

Tang Baozhu thought there was something interesting to see, so she quickly went over. It turned out that soldiers in military uniforms were speaking through a loudspeaker while sailing a yacht.

Tang Baozhu listened carefully and found that the loudspeaker said that everyone could use their surplus items to exchange for what they needed, and even if they didn't find anything they liked, they could exchange it for nationally recognized points.

The country set up a large ship, filled with all sorts of supplies, including vegetables, fruits, meat, and various high-tech products.

Tang Baozhu suddenly remembered that in her previous life, the country seemed to have developed a type of cold-weather clothing to prevent severe cold. The first generation of cold-weather clothing certainly couldn't protect against temperatures as low as minus 60 or 70 degrees Celsius, but the third generation could.

Although it can't protect against temperatures as low as -60 or -70 degrees Celsius, it's fine against temperatures as low as -20 or -30 degrees Celsius. Tang Baozhu felt it was necessary to stock up on some for the time being.

Taking advantage of the current value of points, Tang Baozhu thought she could get as many as possible.

She quickly tugged at Lin Shengtian beside her, "Brother Shengtian, I have a feeling those points won't be useless. Why don't we take the eggs and vegetables we can't finish and exchange them for some? As for the sweet potatoes and potatoes we planted, let's just forget about them. We're not short of food right now, and sweet potatoes and potatoes are definitely not worth much. We can exchange them later."

We certainly can't eat that many sweet potatoes and potatoes ourselves, as most people are used to eating rice and flour. But when there's a real shortage of food, sweet potatoes and potatoes are a good option.

As someone who used to work in a government department, Lin Shengtian was very perceptive and quickly realized that the points-based system introduced by the government could not be useless.

He didn't have anything he wanted to exchange, but thinking about what kind of disaster might occur in the future, he wanted to stock up on more points so that if something to prevent natural disasters appeared, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to exchange them.

“Baozhu is right. We can’t possibly eat all those vegetables, but they’re quite a novelty to other people, not to mention those rabbits. They’re incredibly prolific. The cabin is teeming with them now. If we don’t clear some out, the hold will be overflowing. Luckily, we planted enough grass for all those rabbits to eat, or we’d be worried they’d starve.”

Speaking of this, Tang Baozhu was a little embarrassed. At first, she just thought that raising rabbits would mean she wouldn't have to worry about not having enough meat to eat in the future. Who knew they would actually have so many offspring?

In less than a year, the number of rabbits has grown from forty or fifty to several thousand. Although people eat them often, they can't possibly keep up with the demand.

"Then let's call them over quickly and use one of their small yachts to tow them over. Our boat is too big to make it across."

She quickly changed the subject to avoid appearing particularly stupid. There was nothing she could do; although she knew rabbits could reproduce before, everything was handled by puppets and robots, so she didn't have to worry about it at all. Therefore, she didn't know that it had now reached the point of being rampant.

Lin Shengtian quickly shouted to the soldiers, "Comrades, please come over here. We want to exchange some items."

At this point, almost everyone was in a wait-and-see state. Although they didn't have glass domes to shield them from the rain, they at least had umbrellas and raincoats, so they heard what the soldiers were saying. However, no one was willing to give up those supplies.

Lin Shengtian called out to the soldiers, who were relieved. Their large ship had gathered a lot of people, and feeding them every day was a big problem. They had no choice but to exchange their supplies for points to try to collect as many supplies as possible.

Although there was no shortage of fish at sea, the number of people gathered on the several large ships was simply too large. Although there were still some stored supplies and food, the leaders above had a very long-term vision.

There's always a worry that the apocalypse will last too long, so we're really using those things sparingly, and right now it's only done on a voluntary basis.

They even encouraged everyone to grow their own things, whether it was easy-to-grow mushrooms, various vegetables, or high-yield crops like potatoes and sweet potatoes, and everyone listened to their advice.

People who own boats usually grow various things on each boat, only the yields vary.

Of course, the government will not let everyone down. Although the points system has just been introduced and it seems like ordinary people are at a disadvantage, once you can use the points to redeem various warm supplies and things that can be used to walk in the snow and ice, you will realize that it is not such a loss.

Even when they encountered people from other countries and things started to get chaotic, the country still allowed them to exchange those guns and weapons to protect their lives.

The small yacht quickly arrived beside Tang Baozhu's large ship, led them directly to the elevator, lowered the elevator, and let them board.

One person stayed on the small yacht to watch over the boat, while the other three people all came aboard.

Li Jianjun was the company commander of a small group. Looking at the large ship in front of him, he knew that before the apocalypse, only the extremely wealthy could afford it.

Once on board, he enthusiastically introduced himself to the people on board, saying, "My name is Li Jianjun. Thank you all for your support of the country's various policies. Rest assured, the country will definitely not let you down or suffer any losses."

"Hello, Comrade Li Jianjun. This boat belongs to my girlfriend. Everything on the boat belongs to her. What we sell is up to her."

Lin Shengtian didn't feel embarrassed at all, and didn't feel like he was a freeloader. He directly addressed the issue of ownership of the ship.
