Chapter 764: Prepare for the Worst
Qiu Ying looked at the closed wooden door, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside, but her mood was extremely peaceful and warm, and soon she fell asleep, and the long and steady breathing of the mother and son sounded in the wooden shack.
At this time, Yin Dong had quietly entered the water, driving the bay crocodiles to pull the boat, turning around, chopping the waves, and moving straight forward on the stormy sea.
Qiu Ying was actually worried, the wind and waves at sea were too big, after Yin Dong got on the ship, the fleet was swept into the whirlpool, and was swept out by the wind and waves for a long distance, under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Yin Dong to tell the direction of the time.
However, Yin Dong is not an ordinary fisherman, he is still a monk, in the seawater, his vision is not affected, and the scope of his vision is beyond ordinary people, and he soon finds the reef island he passed through when he came.
The small reef island has been completely submerged by the sea, and there are only monstrous winds and waves on the sea, and the outline of the reef island cannot be seen at all, but Yin Dong can see it clearly underwater.
Yin Dong controlled the crocodiles, avoided the whirlpools on the sea, broke through the wind and waves, and slowly arrived on the side of the reef island. Then, he found another signpost...... Little by little, the fleet was brought to the nearshore until it saw the long, winding coastline in the storm.
"See land!"
In the fleet, there was a shout, and the whole fleet erupted in bursts of cheers. But in fact, seeing the land, I can't wait for the fleet to dock.
In the coastal waters, the wind and waves are also very strong, and the wind rotates from the coast to the depths of the ocean, and if the fleet stops at the shore, it will soon be swept into the depths of the sea by the wind and waves.
Yin Dong did not rush to let the fleet dock, but kept the route on the same level as the coastline. When the fleet deviates from the direction of the whirlpool, he will also control the bay crocodiles to pull the boat back to its original course.
After two days and one night, the storm was still raging in this piece of the world, and there was no tendency to get smaller. The sea continued to rise, and some of the low bushes on the coast were flooded. On the coast, from time to time, the cries of desperate birds and beasts sounded in the wind, and they were sad and mournful.
The ravages of the storm, in addition to the rising sea water, the temperature continued to drop, and the rain was also mixed with ice particles the size of soybean grains, hitting the defensive cover of the fleet formation, and everyone felt cold in their hearts.
"Instructor Yin, the climate is still deteriorating, should we find a place to take refuge?" Alas, it's still such bad weather, how should the survivors outside live?"
Lao Zhu sat on the back of a bay crocodile and asked at the empty sea next to him.
His poison had been resolved, and his body was still a little weak, but he couldn't lie down and rest. When he learned that the bay crocodiles were not commanded by the beast warriors and swam in one direction en masse, he guessed that Yin Dong had returned.
Since Yin Dong didn't show up, Lao Zhu didn't publicize the news that he had returned, so he changed shifts with a rotating beast warrior, stayed by himself, sat on the back of the bay crocodile, and didn't care whether Yin Dong was there or not, so he talked to himself.
As soon as the words fell, Yin Dong quietly surfaced, wiped a handful of water on his face, and said, "You need to find a big bay or harbor to stop." ”
As he spoke, Yin Dong jumped on the back of the crocodile, sat down beside Lao Zhu, and said, "Lao Zhu, how is your body recovering now?"
"It's okay, I'm able to get my life back this time, thanks to you. Lao Zhu smiled bitterly, grabbed his hair, and said with some frustration: "Instructor Yin, without you, we would all be waste, and we couldn't even complete a simple reconnaissance mission, and we were almost wiped out." ”
Yin Dong glanced at him and said lightly: "The poisonous frog is an old monster that survived the last era of calamity, and even survived more than one era of calamity, let alone you, even the elite disciples of those major sects in the cultivation world have to kneel when they encounter it." You have just started to cultivate, and you are not ashamed to be poisoned by the poisonous gas it emits. ”
Lao Zhu smiled bitterly again and sighed: "Come on, Instructor Yin, you don't have to comfort me." I know how many pounds and taels I have. Even if I feel that I am useless, I will not shirk the responsibility I should bear. ”
"I didn't comfort you, I reminded you that you are far from the elite disciples of those major sects in the cultivation world, so there is no time to waste, you must seize all the time to improve your strength. ”
Yin Dong slapped Lao Zhu very unceremoniously, seeing that he was stunned, he simply made his words clear, "You can't be the nanny of those people in the fleet, everyone must learn to save themselves, and you can't always wait for others to be his savior." In this world, there is no one who is the savior of whom. ”
Lao Zhu said angrily: "I heard that the troublemakers in the fleet are not greedy enough, and they even want to seize control of the fleet, just because the management methods are too soft. ”
"Not just the troublemakers, but also the people who stand by and watch, don't they know that something has happened to the fleet, and the only place they can live in peace at the moment is gone? No, they know that with you guarding this fleet, you will solve all the problems. ”
In Yin Dong's words, there was no anger, it was purely a matter of facts, which made Lao Zhu deeply touched when he heard it.
After a pause, Yin Dong continued: "When the fleet finds a place to anchor, everyone needs to find food on their own. Or, they have a skill that can be used in this fleet and can also be exchanged for food. The ship's reserves were included in the military reserves, including bread trees from fruit to branches. ”
Lao Zhu exclaimed: "Is this necessary? Is the situation going to worsen?"
Yin Dong sighed: "Monkey Ancestor said that the environment will continue to deteriorate, there is no worst, only worse. So, we're going to prepare for the worst. When the fleet finds a place to anchor, the ship's material reserves must be sealed and replenished in large quantities. The flotilla will no longer distribute food uniformly. ”
Looking at the rain curtain outside the defensive cover of the formation, he couldn't see anything, Lao Zhu was worried, how to find food in such weather?
It's just that Yin Dong's words are very reasonable, although they seem to be ruthless, but Lao Zhu knows that Yin Dong wants to leave life-saving materials for everyone. Perhaps, in the near future, the military reserves mothballed on the ship will become the hope for the survival of the entire fleet.
Lao Zhu swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty: "Old man, with the children, you still have to distribute food, right?"
Yin Dong looked at the depths of the rain curtain, the land that was being submerged by the sea, was silent for a moment, and whispered, "Yes, but they also need to work." ”
"Work?" Lao Zhu was a little confused, what else was there to do on the ship?
"The work of making briquettes is left to the old man and the child. Those who have a skill, and who can make a difference in our current situation, such as doctors and nurses, can continue to enjoy food rationing. ”
As he spoke, Yin Dong withdrew his gaze, looked at Lao Zhu, and said in a heavy tone: "As for you, the beast warriors on duty will take the crocodile to hunt for food, and the non-rotating warriors will all retreat and cultivate." Leave the trivia of the fleet alone. ”
