Just when he was driving "walking" just now, Lu Rulan roughly counted that there were at least a thousand containers on this wharf. It's easier said than done to find something really useful from so many boxes.

Fortunately, he also has a customs "jack-of-all-trades" by his side.

"I don't know if there's electricity on the dock right now, but it's only a matter of time before the power goes out. Ordinary materials have a certain shelf life, and most of them that can be stored at room temperature are not too eager to take them out. But the goods in the refrigerator are different - most of them are vegetables, fruits and meat, and all kinds of imported and exported goods are good. It's a shame to see them rot. ”

As he spoke, Haichen had already driven the truck to the southwest corner of the dock.

When walking the zombies in this area just now, Lu Rulan had already seen that the container in this area was a little special. Unlike the colorful cabinets elsewhere, most of the boxes here are white or light blue, reminiscent of a freezer or refrigerator.

Haichen also immediately confirmed his suspicion: because the refrigeration system needs to be supplied with a unified power supply, all the refrigerated containers are arranged in this fixed area, which also makes the next sweeping operation much easier.

The vehicle slowly came to a stop on the parking strip next to the reefer yard. Before getting out of the car, Haichen fumbled around the cab for a while and found a strange-looking large iron tong.

The two of them walked to the edge of the tall container and first hit the most central box on the lower floor. Haichen used large iron tongs to cut open the lead seal that locked the door, and grabbed the third doorknob and pulled it outward.

With a cold white mist, the first container was successfully opened. What appeared in front of Lu Rulan was neither the green vegetables nor the red meat in his imagination, but the large white cardboard boxes filled between the huge metal shelves.

"Yo, it's heavy!"

Haichen pulled out a large heavy square box and placed it on the ground. Lu Rulan opened the box with a folding knife, and inside was a large cylindrical plastic box, and the lid of the box was pasted with pictures of goods written in English.

"Pomegranate and peach flavor...... Ice cream? ”

Lu Rulan was stunned at the seemingly sweet and lovely ice cream photo.

Haichen also came over to take a look: "This brand seems to be quite famous, such a big barrel, it must be worth thousands of dollars on the market." ”

"What should I do?" Lu Rulan hesitated a little, "To take it or not to take it?" ”

"The first pot of gold, take it, you can eat it anyway, just supplement vitamins. The key point is that this bucket also looks like it can be used for water. ”

The two agreed. Lu Rulan opened the truck compartment and put the first loot inside. At the same time, Haichen closed the door of the ice cream container again, and wrote the words "ice cream" on the door with a black marker.

"In case there are other survivors looking for supplies, then it's clear at a glance."

Next, Haichen casually opened a box on the side. At first, the same cold air gushed out, but immediately after that, they smelled a smell of feet.

"What? Has it started to rot? Lu Rulan covered her nose.

"No way, it's still very cold inside."

Haichen was not reconciled, and opened the cardboard box with a harpoon to look inside, only to see a pale yellow round cake wrapped in oiled paper, exuding a smell of stinky feet.

“…… It seems to be cheese. To take or not to take? ”

"Don't take it!" Lu Rulan shook her head like a rattle, "Close the door!" ”

The two boxes were opened in a row, and when it was the turn of the third box, Lu Rulan didn't dare to have much hope.

"It's not going to be a container of coriander this time, is it?"

"Don't talk nonsense, cilantro can only last for a few days."

As he spoke, Haichen took up and cut off his hands and opened another container. This time, there was no smell at all after the door was opened, and the shelves looked neat, all of them were brown paper boxes the size of a drawer.

It looks like there's a play.

They hurriedly took a box and took it outside, lifted the lid and saw that it was really white and looked like frozen meat.

But when I looked closely, it was dense, and all of them were chicken feet.

“…… Get out, I'll drive it this time! ”

Lu Rulan couldn't bear it anymore and deprived Haichen of the right to open the box.

There are still three containers left on the first level that have not been opened. He simply cut off all the lead seals in one go, and then checked them one by one.

The first container was quickly opened, and Lu Rulan only glanced inside the door, and was in a hurry to bring the door back on.

Haichen didn't spare him, and came over to see it, but he had just opened the door, and he was stunned for a second before he almost fell to the ground laughing.

A whole container is a big pig's head with a sticking out tongue!

"I said that there is something wrong with this dock, why don't you load serious goods?" Lu Rulan couldn't help but complain.

"It's just that it doesn't look like a serious dock." Haichen also chimed in.

Teasing is teasing, but you have to keep getting down to business. Fortunately, the next two containers finally became normal, and they opened pork and vegetables respectively.

The two men immediately divided their work to load the meat and vegetables into the truck. After finishing, mark the container body and close the door tightly.

With these things as a foundation, they immediately have confidence. Quietly began to inspect the other boxes and mark them in detail. After a rough inspection, they found that the shelf life of most of the materials in the refrigerated area would not exceed half a month. I hope that within half a month, someone will be able to sail over like them and make timely use of these precious resources.

Leaving the refrigerated area, the two of them went to the general freight yard on the side and opened a few containers with the mentality of trying their luck. Among them, there is a box of women's clothing, a box of raw cane sugar, and a box of small household appliances of a certain brand. They only took one bag of raw cane sugar, and everything else was left untouched.

Anyway, this is a big warehouse, and there will be a chance to pick up the goods in the future.

Before you know it, the clock has advanced to three o'clock in the afternoon. Considering that there was still nearly an hour or so to sail from here to the headland where the botanical garden is located, Haichen Jian yì immediately boarded the boat and set off.

They drove the van back to the embarkation point, put the meat and vegetables they had collected and the large bucket of ice cream into the hold, and then launched the boat to the surface.

Coming to the open sea, the yacht set sail again and headed southwest. Haichen was at the helm outside, while Lu Rulan stayed in the cabin, took apart the bucket of ice cream, scooped a bowl, and began to register the loot he had received today by category while eating.

Shiitake mushrooms, garlic sprouts, long beans, baby cabbage, zucchini, purple cabbage, broccoli, and potatoes are all relatively shelf-stable vegetables. According to the standard of six taels to one pound per person per day, it can be fed for two people for two months, or three people for 40 days.

As for the meat, there are five white chickens that are slaughtered, and the rest are mainly pork ribs and pork belly, and some fatty meat is mixed in, which can be used to boil pork.

It looks quite hearty, but all of these foods are not shelf-stable, and once the expiration date is over, it's like falling from heaven to hell.

If you want to survive, you must at least find a way to grow vegetables and even fruits by yourself, otherwise if you lack vitamins for a long time, it will be easy to develop scurvy, and then it will be even more troublesome.

Lu Rulan naturally thought of her cousin - if she could successfully meet Su He, who was well versed in the way of plants, things would definitely go a lot smoother. And Su He chose the botanical garden as a foothold, presumably with a mature plan.

As soon as he thought of this, he heard Haichen hurriedly calling him.

"Come out quickly!"

Thinking that something important had happened, Lu Rulan ran up in two or three steps to check. I saw Haichen stretching out his hand and pointing to the sea not far away.

"Flying Fish!"

Sure enough, at first glance, it looks like a flock of seabirds flying close to the surface of the sea, and on closer inspection, it turns out to be a group of beautiful small fish with blue light shining in the air, stretching their pectoral fins as long as wings.

"At this time of year, these fish come to the East China Sea to spawn."

Haichen steered the sailboat to follow them, watching them glide hundreds of meters above the surface of the sea before disappearing into the waves again.

“…… So beautiful. Lu Rulan was dumbfounded.

But before he could come to his senses, something else appeared on the sea level ahead of him, which excited him.

A huge white cable-stayed bridge stands above the blue waves. One end connects to the land at the eastern end, and at the other end is a series of small islands and reefs that meander into the distance.

This is the Foguang Bridge leading to the Foguang Island Botanical Garden.

The boat continued in the direction of the extension of the bridge, bypassing a few small reefs, and soon saw the end of the bridge.

It was a huge cliff that seemed to emerge from the ocean, high above the sea level. The cliffs are lush and green, and you can see a patch of greenery in the distance. There are even white seabirds hovering and babbling in the sky.

Haichen narrowed his eyes and observed for a while: "This side is full of cliffs, and there is no way to go ashore." Let's take a detour first. ”

The sailboat made a beautiful arc in the middle of the sea and began to sail east around the cliffs. The afternoon sun was quickly obscured by the tall cliffs of Foguang Island, and the air seemed to smell a little more plant-like fragrance.

What is even more striking is that there are many steep steps carved into the cliff, and there are even cliff inscriptions and Buddhist shrines - it seems that this should have been a scenic spot in ancient times.

After a sharp bend, a small shoal finally appeared in front of them. Haichen began to slow down, getting closer and closer to observe.

"What the hell is this?"

The shoal is only about two or three hundred square meters in size, facing the sea on three sides, and one side is still backed by a cliff. But what really baffled them was that there were still a few car wrecks left on the shoal, as well as some other large garbage that could not be seen in the original face.

"That's right......"

Lu Rulan suddenly remembered something: "I heard my brother complain before, because Foguang Island is very close to the shore and inaccessible, so there are black-hearted businessmen who come here to dump all kinds of garbage in the middle of the night. However, some of it was cleaned up when the botanical garden was built, and it looks like these are still left. ”

"I wish those black-hearted guys to turn into zombies soon."

The shore seemed unreliable, and Heathen operated the steering wheel, looking for opportunities along the shore again.

After a small half-circle, they soon found that the entire Foguang Island was roughly high in the west and low in the east. The further east you go, the lower the cliffs become, and the rocky reefs and gravel beaches slowly begin to appear. When the cliff disappeared completely, the refreshing green on the top of the cliff also extended to Lu Rulan's eyes.

"Oh, why are there mangroves here?!"

Haichen was right—as if to greet them, there were vast expanses of lush mangrove forests that stretched from the shore into the shallows. It is now the beginning of the lunar month, and dusk is approaching, and the tide is high. The woods are soaked in the seawater, which is quiet and magical.

The sailboat carefully bypassed the mangroves, continued on for five or six minutes, and finally made the expected important discovery.

"Docks!"

They saw a natural haven sunken inland into the island, and a pier of reinforced concrete had already been built on the smooth and fine gray-white sand. It seems that many of the materials needed to renovate the botanical garden were transported to Foguang Island through the pier in Guò.

At this moment, they were not the only sailboat on the dock, there was a small cargo ship more than ten meters away from them.

"There's a situation on the docks!"

Lu Rulan hurriedly pointed it out to Haichen, and there were a lot of sundries scattered on the dock in front of the cargo ship, including packages, quilts, basins and even shoes. If you look closely, you can see that there is still blood on the ground near some of the items.

"Let's not rush to the shore yet," Haichen immediately reminded, "and there is probably a reason why this ship did not sail away." ”

As he spoke, he put away the sails and turned on the sailboat's power plant at the same time. The roar of the engine sounded, and it was particularly abrupt in the sound of a natural wave.

Lu Rulan observed the cargo ship not far away without blinking. After a while, four or five zombies came out of the cabin, standing on the deck and looking around.

"Come here!" Haichen shouted at them, "Here we are! ”

The zombies immediately followed the sound to look this way, and then jumped onto the dock one by one, rushing towards the sailboat.

At this time, however, the sailboat was still some distance from shore.

I saw those zombies scrambling to jump into the sea, and at first they could stumble and run a few steps on the shallows, but soon disappeared into the sea one after another.

Lu Rulan also followed and looked into the sea: "...... Do zombies drown in the sea, you say? ”

"I don't think so." Haichen shook his head, "But there are many ravines and ravines under the seabed, and with their intelligence, it should be difficult to return to the shore, but directly bury themselves in the belly of the fish." ”

But to be on the safe side, they continued to stay at sea for more than ten minutes before re-docking. After landing, he took his weapons and stood guard on the shore for a while, confirming that those zombies could not emerge from the sea again, and then turned his attention to other places.

"We've really arrived......," Lu Rulan muttered, "Foguang Island Botanical Garden." ”
