Ye Shang said calmly, "There should be an island not far ahead where we can stop and rest."
Qingli has a good memory; she did pass by quite a few islands on her previous trip, and the one Ah Shang mentioned was relatively large.
"Sure, otherwise everyone will get a bit restless if we're on the ship all day."
After lunch, Qingli told Han Yi about it, and Wen Guosheng was also there, so they discussed it together.
Everyone was happy to hear the news. It would be good to go to the island to rest. For the past few days, we had been floating on the boat, and it always felt like we were swaying when we stepped on it.
Song Wenwen led a few people to the island in advance to check it out. With the little whale there, even people without flying abilities could ride on its back to cross.
The little whale knew it had no say in anything, and working was its priority. But at least it had to listen to that woman and the little cub; it could ignore everything else.
At this moment, Chen Zui was also sitting on its back. Its enlarged body could almost carry several boats on its back.
However, Ye Shang didn't let it carry the boat; he just let the others go first, and they could follow behind.
The journey will likely be two to three hours slower by boat, so the first few people to arrive can set up their tents and so on in advance.
Meng Qiulan and Liang You also went ahead, along with Han Yi and two logistics personnel to make preparations. The rest were Ye Shang, Qing Li, and the patrol boat crew.
There are two more logistics personnel; the rest of you go to the island first.
Ye Shang suddenly said, "Our journey has become somewhat peaceful."
On the return journey, there were almost no major dangers encountered, except for the encounter with the whale-like sea monster; the whole trip was peaceful.
The reason why the whale-sea monster suddenly appeared in the mortal world can only mean one thing: the Xuan Tian Continent has begun to accelerate its pace.
Qingli's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "Yes, it's too calm."
In the context of the apocalypse, wouldn't the world be fraught with danger wherever you go? Not to mention the ocean, which has always been filled with all sorts of things.
Ye Shang squinted as he gazed into the distance. The scorching heat distorted the air. Yes, the mysterious deep sea held no ferocious monsters; no one knew where they were hiding.
Time flew by, and by the time Ye Shang and his group arrived on the island, everyone had already set up tents and lit a campfire.
It's around 6 PM now. As the last rays of sunlight disappear on the horizon, the temperature has suddenly dropped to around minus 10 degrees Celsius.
Everyone was used to this kind of weather and got to work and packing.
The ship docked at the seaside, and the logistics staff began boiling water and cooking. The water-type ability user had already prepared all the water needed by everyone.
Several large buckets on the side were filled with drinkable fresh water.
Many people sat around the campfire to warm themselves. The little whale also seemed to shrink. It stood in the middle like a clown, wiggling its chubby bottom, raising its two paws and twisting them back and forth, while the tiny turtle shell, about the size of a thumb, swayed back and forth on its swaying tail.
He made everyone laugh heartily.
The little whale thoroughly enjoyed being the center of attention. It felt this was the treatment it deserved, just like in its tribe, where it could jump around effortlessly and its elders would praise it.
Ye Shang sat on a chair not far away, watching this scene. It seemed that this little whale demon quite liked this job.
The island's scenery remains unchanged from the post-apocalyptic era, with very few green plants and mostly rocks, dust, and withered, dead branches.
Qingli started setting up in the tent early in the morning, and it seemed that A Shang was planning to stay there for two or three days.
Although it was meant to be a break for everyone, everyone knew that Ye Shang wouldn't let them off so easily; at the very least, daily training was still essential.
Ye Shang has always believed that strong physical abilities are also a standard requirement for superhumans. At least in this era, the more powerful you are, the more chances you have to survive.
She's not a guardian angel who can protect everyone anytime, anywhere. When they return to the base, there will be plenty of missions for them. The construction and development of the base are inseparable from the abilities of these superhumans.
At least for now, especially as the world changes, Ye Shang even suspects that in the future, the world will simply erase the existence of firearms.
After all, even nuclear bombs can no longer be deployed.
As the world strives to save itself, it will naturally not allow anything to harm it again.
This concern had been lingering in Ye Shang's mind: if firearms couldn't kill people, then it was practically equivalent to being eliminated.
I just don't know if it will hinder other developments, such as technological changes and the existence of other high technologies.
If we try to avoid it as much as possible, will the world just ignore it?
Qingli worked alongside everyone in the tent, and after everything was finally set up, he came out wearing a thick coat and a scarf, and sat down on a chair next to Ye Shang.
"What are you thinking about?"
As he spoke, he would exhale mist from his mouth.
Now it is completely dark, and the dim moonlight is gradually rising.
The temperature dropped to around minus thirty degrees Celsius.
Everyone was wearing thick clothes, covering themselves up completely.
Until the hot food was ready.
Meng Qiulan was supported by a mysterious technique, so she wasn't as exaggerated as the superhumans. However, she was still wearing a thick coat and holding a bowl of steaming noodles. "To be honest, being able to eat a bowl of noodles like this at this time of year is truly a heavenly experience."
She has witnessed too many tragedies along the way, some of which involved people eating their own children, and others who were so hungry that they ate dirt, and in the end, none of them could escape death.
That was in the early days of the apocalypse; you'd encounter zombies almost every few steps, or you could just turn around and run into one.
Honestly, she really admired Ye Shang and his companion. The fact that they were able to establish a base and maintain a certain level of order was truly impressive.
The little whale slurped up noodles. It had never eaten this before, but it had been eating human food for the past two days and it felt fine. Anyway, it ate everything. Now it knew that it couldn't eat anything from the sea, or it would get the same problem it had before.
So it almost always eats what Chen eats. Whatever he eats, it eats too. Anyway, this is what it earned by working. It doesn't live as freely as other animals now. In the past, it could lie down and sleep and would never swim.
It has to work every day now, and it thinks that when it finds its mother in the future, it can brag about it. It can already support itself by working.
Little Whale is now full of hope for the future.
Ye Shang ate almost the same food as the other people on the ship. She didn't lack food, but she didn't ask for anything special.
At most, she would leave the restaurant and make him some desserts after the meal.
