Chapter 104 Tomato Flood
The strong smell of oil continued to linger in the air, and Dr. Xi Rui once again used beef bones and meat to lure the megalodon.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes... a full ten minutes passed, and the Megalodon still did not appear.
Perhaps it was the strong smell of petroleum that kept them away.
Everyone was very happy to see that the Megalodon did not appear.
But there is also fear, this is the cunning Megalodon playing tricks.
The ice surface was covered with oil and was pitch black. If they were really lurking under the ice, no one could see them at all.
Dr. Shire said, "Oil contains complex organic compounds with varying properties, which pose a significant threat to marine life. Not only does it form an oil film on the sea surface, it also isolates dissolved oxygen in the water, suffocating marine life. The oil we've poured in is enough to severely pollute the ocean within a ten-mile radius, and the smell will surely keep sharks away. Wait another half hour, and then vote again."
After feeding for half an hour, the megalodon still did not appear, and everyone finally felt relieved.
The person who drew the red ticket quickly went down to the ice and cooperated with the people on the boat, and the yacht was finally held up.
Dr. Sheri led everyone in cheering, while Mike and his team raced against time to transport consumable supplies onto the yacht.
After trying to get ashore, we can distribute more supplies.
Jack urged, "Doctor, tell them to throw the iron chain over here!" He was afraid that Jiang Si would go back on his word.
Dr. Xi Rui picked up the loud speaker and shouted, "Miss Jiang, please help me! We can set off together now."
A strong wind blew, raising a cloud of snow and dust, but the icebreaker was silent.
Lina’s heart was pounding, she cupped her palms and shouted anxiously: “Miss Jiang, we need your help!”
Mike's happy face suddenly darkened. "Are these people going to regret it?"
If they dare to go back on their word, he would do whatever it takes to get them to the death.
Dr. Xi Rui shook her head. "You've waited until this time. Miss Jiang doesn't seem like someone who doesn't keep her word. Perhaps she couldn't hear clearly because she was in the cabin."
He tried shouting twice again, and just when everyone on the boat was about to go berserk, Jiang Si and the others appeared from the cabin.
Everyone's eyes suddenly became red, and their original anger and suspicion suddenly turned into a huge wave of gratitude.
Qin Shen moved quickly and, with the cooperation of Jiang Si and Lu Zhifeng, he quickly threw the iron chain onto the yacht.
When the yacht and the icebreaker were connected, everyone's anxious hearts finally settled down.
Being saved, surviving, having hope, filled everyone's hearts.
The icebreaker slowly paves the way forward. Once the program is set, you don't have to stay in the cabin all the time.
As the boat left the polluted waters, everyone sipped their milk tea and started discussing, "Will we encounter another megalodon?"
Jiang Sidao said, "It's bound to collide, but as long as the boat doesn't capsize, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Jiang Linhai said, "Oh my god, those teeth are just like diamonds. I'm really worried they'll break our boat."
Jiang Chengwu's leg injury hadn't healed yet, so he couldn't offer much help and needed everyone's care. Encountering the Megalodon frightened him, so he said, "Let's wait for the foreigners on the yacht to come ashore, and then we can find a place to dock. If there's any danger, we can either run away by boat or go ashore, giving us two chances of escape."
Shen Baoying agreed: "That's exactly what we need. Otherwise, we wouldn't have enough fuel to drive away these megalodon sharks."
Although there is a helicopter in Jiang Si Space, it cannot fly in extreme weather.
Moreover, they have turned this icebreaker into a warm little home, where they can farm and have plenty of supplies. If all else fails, they can even break ice and go fishing.
Jiang Chengwu's idea was unanimously affirmed by everyone. Jiang Si nodded and said, "Okay, then we will do as Grandpa said."
Perhaps the smell of oil around the icebreaker and yacht was too strong. Even after the ship passed through layers of oil, no megalodon appeared nearby.
Everyone gradually relaxed. When Jiang Si returned to his room to rest, he went into the space to pick tomatoes and eggplants.
The tomatoes are all the size of a fist, bright red and very juicy. Although only a dozen plants were planted, the yield was not low.
Jiang Si picked one at random, rubbed it with his hand, and put it into his mouth.
It is sweet, sour and juicy, and is worthy of being the best variety cultivated. The taste is delicious.
Unfortunately, if you take it out directly, it will arouse suspicion.
She also thought about whether to reveal the space to Lu Zhifeng, but her long-term life in the apocalypse made her unwilling to trust someone completely and easily.
Even though Qin Shen knew that she had space, she didn't dare to completely trust him. In her previous life, she had been betrayed by trusted teammates.
Time can test people, and various accidents may occur at any time.
What if they don't have the intention to claim the space as their own now, but they do in the future?
Or maybe they were caught and forced to tell the truth.
The fewer people know, the safer it is for their families.
Because the space is not static, the refrigerator in the space is also occupied by vegetables such as peppers, cucumbers, water spinach, etc. that were picked previously.
In such a short time, Jiang Si picked more than ten pounds of tomatoes. If they were left alone, they would definitely go bad. If they were made into tomato sauce, it would take their family no idea how long to eat it.
Shen Baoying had made Lao Bizi's jam before. With the strawberries grown by Jiang Si, she made twenty jars of jam. Shen Baoying could only come up with different ways, such as developing strawberry snacks, consuming strawberries, or making freeze-dried strawberries.
There are already so many things in the refrigerator that there is basically no room left.
In addition to tomatoes, there are also newly ripe eggplants that are purple and shiny, and you can pick at least several kilograms.
Fortunately, eggplants can be dried into eggplants. After processing, they can generally be stored for more than half a year.
Jiang Si thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to use these tomatoes. Giving them away was impossible.
There is no place to refrigerate them, and tomatoes are not a fruit that can be refrigerated.
It would be a pity to let it go bad and be used as fertilizer.
Suddenly, an idea struck her and she had another excuse.
Jiang Si went to Shen Baoying's room and took out two juicy tomatoes, handing them to her and Jiang Linhai. "There are a lot of ripe tomatoes. Let's have a tomato dinner tonight."
Shen Baoying took a bite and said vaguely: "This tomato is really good. Then how do we explain where the tomatoes come from?"
Jiang Sidao said, "This icebreaker has a greenhouse. They used to grow fruits and vegetables there. They said they found it in the freezer of a crew member's room. Let's eat it while it's still fresh."
Shen Baoying's eyes lit up, "That's really good."
Soon, Shen Baoying brought out a small plate of tomatoes and half sugar and suggested to everyone: "How about we have sour soup fish tonight?"
