Chapter 241
Haydn brought Jiao Chunzi and the others with him.
They were able to make it all the way here thanks to the fact that some of them, like Kilton, had acquired the ability to condense water.
However, this person's ability is much weaker than Kilton's.
Moreover, there were so many of them that the water they condensed was only enough for everyone to lick their lips.
As soon as they arrived at Jiang Si's place and saw the water in the puddle, everyone's eyes lit up.
Zhang Aihua gulped down a large bowl, passed the bowl to others, and continued drinking.
As everyone drank, the puddle, which originally had little water, became almost empty.
With so many people still needing water for daily use in the future, it will be a hassle.
After letting Zhang Aihua and the others settle down and eat some food, Jiang Si gathered with his family again, thinking about where to find enough water.
Generally speaking, even if an entire continent were covered by volcanoes, there should be enough groundwater.
The original location here was a swamp wetland, so there should be sufficient water resources.
Jiang Linhai said: "We can find the location of the groundwater and then dig it out."
Jiang Si agreed, "Yes, it's best to start digging it out now, otherwise, water supply will be a big problem."
Shen Baoying frowned and asked, "The problem is where can we find the water source? We don't have a water source detector."
Jiang Sidao: "I can only rely on experience to try, maybe I'll get lucky."
Everyone nodded, "Then let's gather some people to find a water source later."
"good."
Bol arrived and created a barrier that could block sandstorms, which made their living environment much better.
No need to worry about being blown away by sandstorms at any time.
There is no need to worry that the fish just caught from the sea will be snatched away by unknown creatures.
Zhang Aihua was fortunate enough to enter Kilton's cave and take a look. The environment was quite good.
Although the bed and furniture are made of mud, they are useful. There are some newly made pottery on the table, which is quite warm.
Zhang Aihua also wanted to build a similar cave for her family.
He controlled the vines to dig for him, and after a while, he dug out a two-bedroom, one-living-room house.
But he soon discovered that the wall he dug was very loose and the soil would fall off easily, and the hole was full of dust.
But the cave where Jiang Si and his friends lived was not like that. The walls were quite solid, as if they were glued together with egg white.
Zhang Aihua pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out the key. Zhang Yiwen crawled into the hole and came out covered in dust, saying in disgust: "Dad, you really dig a hole!"
Zhang Aihua glared at him and said, "Dad, isn't this a good digging job?"
Zhang Yiwen smiled and shrugged, "If you insist on thinking it's good, then I can't help it."
Song Yufang was amused. "Your father is clearly working very hard, so stop making sarcastic remarks."
Zhang Yiwen's eyes lit up and he suggested, "Dad, why don't you go ask Miss Jiang and the others? They'll need some experience, and they'll need a piece of meat."
Zhang Aihua was planning this and nodded: "I'll go ask now."
Zhang Aihua approached Jiang Linhai and asked, "Uncle, may I ask, how did you create the wall of this cave?"
Jiang Linhai pointed at Tomis, who had become quite close to them recently, and said, "They cultivated it. They can transform into wolves and dig, which is a special digging skill. You can ask them for advice."
Zhang Aihua nodded and said, "Thank you very much, uncle."
He came up to Tomis again and asked cautiously, "Brother, can I ask how you guys built the cave?"
Tomis said directly: "If you want to ask us to repair it, either give us 50 kilograms of fish or 5 kilograms of water in exchange."
Surprisingly, we have returned to the era of barter.
Zhang Aihua sighed for a moment and immediately said, "Then I'll go catch 50 kilograms of fish. You guys wait a moment."
With his special ability, it is relatively easy for him to catch fish in the sea.
Zhang Yiwen also wanted to go with Zhang Aihua, and when he left, he specially took an extra piece of clothing with him.
He just saw someone cooking mantis shrimps, which were said to have been caught on the beach.
He also wants to eat as much as he can.
After Zhang Aihua and Zhang Yiwen arrived at the beach, they first observed the terrain.
The beach feels quite safe.
Zhang Aihua said to Zhang Yiwen, "Don't run around everywhere, just dig here."
Zhang Yiwen assured him, "I know, I know. Dad, just focus on catching fish!"
Zhang Aihua aimed at the sea, and the vines stretched out into it, quickly diving into the seabed.
The vines shook like insects, and soon attracted a lot of fish.
In a flash, the fish were tightly entangled by the vines and were salvaged to the shore.
Zhang Aihua took a closer look and was surprised to see that there were quite a lot of fish.
The first time I went into the water, I caught no less than 20 kilograms of fish.
Zhang Yiwen, who had just dug out a mantis shrimp, was surprised by Zhang Aihua's results.
"Wow, Dad, you're so awesome!"
If they preserve so many fish, they can eat them for a long time.
Zhang Aihua was also very happy, "Dad, please come and get some abalone, lobsters and crabs later!"
Zhang Yiwen admired him even more, "Dad must be the most awesome dad!"
Zhang Aihua continued to catch fish, and soon, the fifty kilograms of fish were collected.
Zhang Yiwen also found a third mantis shrimp on the beach and picked up a few clams.
It’s a pity that they don’t have a pot. If they had a pot, they could cook a pot of seafood soup.
Zhang Yiwen looked at Zhang Aihua and asked, "Dad, can we make soup with shellfish?"
Zhang Aihua thought for a moment and said, "A stronger shell should be fine."
"Then Dad, try to see if you can catch it."
Zhang Aihua nodded: "Okay."
When Zhang Aihua was using his special ability to grow vines and searching for large shells in the sea, Zhang Yiwen found some sea grapes on the beach.
It is green like bunches of grapes, and also like green caviar.
It feels like this when you eat it in your mouth.
This kind of sea grapes were sold at a very high price before the end of the world.
Zhang Yiwen hurriedly picked up piles of sea grapes, but there was too much moss in the sea, and the sea grapes he picked up were tightly entangled with the moss.
There was no more room for the clothes, so Zhang Yiwen moved closer to Zhang Aihua.
Before I even got close, I heard Zhang Aihua excitedly shouting, "Son, come and see!"
Zhang Yiwen ran over and saw Zhang Aihua holding a huge shell.
It's bigger than a normal pot.
Zhang Yiwen was stunned. "Such a large shell, will it mutate and bite people?"
Zhang Aihua laughed and said, "I can't bite it. I've already fished it out. I don't know if the meat is tasty, but the shell is really solid. It will definitely last for a while."
Zhang Yiwen thought of the pearls in clams, so he asked in surprise, "Dad, can there be pearls in this?"
Zhang Aihua was also stunned. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's pry it open and see!"
Zhang Yiwen looked around for a stone and finally found one of similar size and handed it to Zhang Aihua.
Zhang Aihua picked it up and smashed it hard. With a clang, the stone broke into pieces and Zhang Aihua's hand was hurt by the shock.
Zhang Yiwen was stunned. "Dad, this isn't a shell. It's steel. How can it be so hard?"
Zhang Aihua thought of another way. He used vines to roll up the shells and then smashed them against a rock.
But, it still didn't work.
Zhang Aihua came up with another idea and said to Zhang Yiwen, "Let's bury the shell in the soil. It will suffocate and then the shell will open on its own."
Zhang Yiwen's eyes lit up, "What a good idea!"
After they buried the shells together, they took back the fish and seafood they had caught, as well as the sea grapes picked up by Zhang Yiwen.
The seashore is rich in seafood, all thanks to killing that megalodon.
Jiang Si and his friends were not surprised, but those who had just arrived with Zhang Aihua and his friends were stunned by the abundance of seafood.
That’s too much good stuff.
The second brother said excitedly: "Boss Zhang, you made so many! Is it easy?"
Zhang Aihua nodded: "It's easy, there are a lot of things!"
The second brother immediately went with the others.
Zhang Aihua placed the seafood in front of Song Yufang, who was stunned. "So much?"
"Well, let's think about what to eat tonight!"
Song Yufang immediately started muttering, "I need something to make a pot, or I'll have to borrow someone else's tonight."
Zhang Yiwen rushed to say, "Don't worry, Mom. We've prepared the best big iron pot for you!"
"Oh no, two bites!"
Song Yufang looked around and asked, "Where is it?"
Zhang Yiwen smiled and said, "We'll have to wait a while before we can get it back."
“Maybe there’ll be a surprise!”
Song Yufang smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to your surprise." She looked at Zhang Aihua again and said, "Go find someone to clean up the cave."
Zhang Aihua nodded, picked out the better seafood, and gave the remaining 50 kilograms to Tomis.
Get food without having to go into the water.
It's just digging a hole. Practice makes perfect, and now it's a piece of cake for them.
Tomis and a few others transformed into Snow Wolf excavators. After a good digging, the two-bedroom, one-living-room house with strange drainage channels was completed.
Zhang Aihua went in and took a look. Wow, he was really awesome.
It was clearly just dug, but it was dug so solidly.
There was no dust at all, it was like touching cement.
Zhang Aihua expressed her gratitude sincerely and hurriedly took Zhang Yiwen and Song Yufang to tidy up their new home.
Song Yufang was suddenly moved, her eyes reddened, "We have a home again."
It feels like every time things stabilize, something unexpected happens.
I hope I can stay longer this time.
Zhang Yiwen said excitedly: "Dad, I want a crib!"
Zhang Aihua immediately used her special ability and used vines to weave a small bed for Zhang Yiwen on the spot.
Zhang Yiwen was overjoyed, "Great, great, we have a home again!"
The couple smiled at each other, and both felt the peace and happiness at this moment.
After sorting out their few belongings, Zhang Aihua planned to take Zhang Yiwen to the beach to find some shells to use as plates, bowls, and containers.
Song Yufang picked up a knife and prepared to prepare the seafood for dinner tonight.
As soon as she picked up a fish, she saw a circle of green seaweed on the seafood.
Because there wasn't enough water for everyone, she had to pull the seaweed off by hand before washing it, which made the process very difficult.
Song Yufang finally cleaned a fish, and looked at the other seafood, all wrapped in a circle of seaweed, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.
This has to be dealt with when and where.
It’s so inconvenient to have no water!
Song Yufang was processing the fish slowly. Jiang Si and Qin Shen passed by. Suddenly, Jiang Si stopped again, as if he was curious about how Song Yufang killed the fish.
Song Yufang also said enthusiastically: "Miss Jiang, take some and eat!"
Jiang Si was just wondering why the fish were a little green. Upon closer inspection, he found that all the fish had a layer of seaweed on their bodies.
Seaweed is the raw material for making nori. After drying, add some oil and roast it. It is very fragrant when it is fried.
But with so many fish covered in algae, something was clearly amiss.
Jiang Si didn't bother looking for water anymore and said to Qin Shen, "Let's go to the beach."
She was worried that after the megalodon was dealt with, the algae would bloom again.
When algae bloom, all surrounding marine life will die.
This is their most important source of food at present.
There can be no mistakes.
Jiang Si and Qin Shen walked over there, and the second brother and the others used their own methods to catch some fish from the sea.
Some are big, some are small, but all have a hint of green.
Jiang Si and Qin Shen walked closer and saw that, as expected, these fish were also covered with a layer of seaweed.
Jiang Siduo hoped that these seaweeds were just accidentally entangled by fish, but when she and Qin Shen looked into the sea and saw the green seabed, their hearts skipped a beat.
That’s already so much!
They have to find a way to stop it from growing.
But this sea area is so vast.
It is impossible to completely stop it.
While Jiang Si and Qin Shen were thinking of a solution, Zhang Aihua and Zhang Yiwen dug out the huge shell buried in the soil.
The shell will not die if it is buried in the sand for a while.
So, Zhang Aihua dug another earthen stove on the spot, threw the shells directly into it, and started a fire to smoke and roast the shells.
After a while, the shell could no longer withstand the high temperature and a tiny crack opened up, which gradually grew larger.
The expectant expressions on Zhang Aihua and Zhang Yiwen's faces made Jiang Si and Qin Shen temporarily forget their current worries. They walked over to take a closer look and asked, "Are there any pearls?"
They had caught artificially cultivated pearl oysters before. If her space was still there, there would be many beautiful and precious large pearls.
Zhang Aihua didn't know whether there was one or not, so when the shell was completely opened, he touched it everywhere with great interest.
Suddenly, he touched something round and hard. He was immediately filled with ecstasy and excitement. "Yes, it seems so."
He took it out of the shell and saw that it was a pearl the size of a ping-pong ball with a purple rainbow glow. He almost dropped his jaw in shock.
This is too big!
No matter how rich he was, he had never bought such a big natural pearl before.
Moreover, this one is so perfect.
Zhang Aihua held it up and looked at it carefully. The more she looked, the happier she became. If Song Yufang received it, she would definitely be so excited that she would fly.
It was indeed a pleasant surprise.
Jiang Si also exclaimed in admiration: "What beautiful pearls they are! They are so rare."
Qin Shen remembered that she also liked pearls. His eyes fell on Zhang Aihua's hand, and he suddenly turned around and jumped into the sea.
Jiang Si was confused. What was he doing?
