The blue sea and blue sky, the stars are moving, and the time has been more than half a month in the past between day and night.

It was dusk at the moment, and a layer of fog had risen on the surface of the sea, and the sun slanting to the west had shined through the mist, emitting a blood-red glow, dyeing the entire sea surface in a bright color. On the shore of Xieyang Island, fishing boats are quietly moored on the shore, and people who have been busy all day return to the makeshift tent area to rest, and the smoke rises from the stove, which is indescribably quiet and peaceful.

The renovation of the fishing boat has been largely completed, the renovation of the main structure of the lower hull has been completed, and only the last addition of the defense scheme above the deck has not yet been completed, but these works can be completed after the resumption of sailing, and there is no need to moor here.

What has to be praised is that the old professor Duan Mo's renovation design is very successful, the lower hull of the entire fishing boat except for the engine room that cannot be transformed, the remaining warehouse part is divided into three layers, the first floor is the workshop, where the ordnance production equipment brought out from Hekou Town is placed, under Duan Mo's exquisite design, these equipment that originally occupied a lot of space were cleverly stacked, and the equipment that originally occupied the entire warehouse space was only used one-third of the warehouse space at the moment.

The second floor of the warehouse was not originally in Duan Mo's design, but it was because of Emma's arrival that it was temporarily added to the medical research room of the design plan, which not only loaded a lot of research equipment brought from Weizhou Island, but also set up several special rooms, which were the rooms of Xiao Chu's 'private zombie guards' such as Xiaobu and Xiaobai, and the reason why they were placed here was to facilitate Emma's research. In addition, the old professor Duan Mo also set up a laboratory for himself on this level, and he hopes to contribute to this team with his knowledge.

As for the third layer, it is the key to the transformation of the fishing boat, the entire hydro-generator set is placed on this floor, and Duan Mo has put a lot of effort into the placement method of the hydro-turbine, and finally determined the working mode of driving a generator by a plurality of small turbine units installed in the front, rear and left and right sides of the hull respectively. In this way, at least half of the turbine units are rotated by the flow of water in any direction, and generators can provide sufficient and continuous power as long as there are waves, regardless of whether the fishing boat is sailing or not.

The crew living quarters are all arranged in the cabins on the deck, and the whole fishing boat, no, it is more appropriate to call it a scientific research ship with fishing ability, and the upper structure of the hull deck is a three-story cabin, and there are seventy or eighty rooms of all sizes, in addition to the wheelhouse, storage room, dining room, kitchen and other functional rooms, there are still more than fifty empty rooms to live in.

However, as a result, the ship's carrying capacity was limited when the entire cargo hold was occupied, and it was clear that only a part of the more than 300 people here could be taken with it.

In the military tent, the old general Hu Zhigang had just summoned Xiao Chu to the tent, and he had an important decision to tell Xiao Chu.

"Mr. Xiao, I have already decided on the matter of the left-behind personnel." The old general got straight to the point and went straight to the point. In fact, in the past half a month, they have discussed this issue many times, but they have not yet decided on it. According to the original plan, the renovation of the fishing boat has basically been completed, and it will set sail at sunrise tomorrow, so this matter has to be arranged at this moment.

The old general paused for a moment, and finally said his decision: "I decided to stay and lead some people to establish a temporary base on this Xieyang Island, and when the food supply is stable, we will open up to Weizhou Island, and I heard you say that there are also hundreds of refugees left on Weizhou Island, we will try to join them, and finally establish a base on Weizhou Island." ”

"Don't think about it anymore? We really need you. "In fact, among the refugees, which ones sailed with Xiao Chu and which stayed behind have been determined by voluntarily expressing their positions. In general, there are still people who want a stable life, so about 200 people volunteered to stay, and they will set up a temporary base with the villagers of Xieyang Village, and eventually merge with the villagers of Xieyang Village, and the villagers of Xieyang Village will also welcome them.

"I'm too old to stand the toss." The old general looked at the fishing boats on the shore through the window and sighed helplessly. Perhaps the old general's waist is still strong, but the traces left by the vicissitudes of time on his face and the cane that can barely leave his hand illustrate the cruelty of time. The old general is indeed old, and the body of a man in his eighties cannot help but toss, which is actually reflected in the night of the escape from the mouth of the Bala River.

"However, there is no manager like you in this team." Xiao Chu knew his own shortcomings, if he made a battle plan, he might be a good player, but if he had to manage hundreds of people, he was really difficult to deal with. Moreover, not only does he not have this ability, but even Tiana is also not good at it, Emma, the only one who has this ability, has been hiding herself in the laboratory, and Xiao Chu has not even seen her for seven or eight days.

"I'll let Zheng Xun go with you, he's a very capable person and will do better than me." The old general recommended Zheng Xun to Xiao Chu, Zheng Xun was the most powerful subordinate under the old general, and he was indeed worthy of the old general's evaluation of him. Xiao Chu originally thought that if the old general decided to stay, he would ask Zheng Xun for nothing.

Since he didn't wait for Xiao Chu to ask for someone, the old general had already spoken out first, and Xiao Chu didn't say anything anymore, in fact, he also knew that the old general was too old, and I was afraid that he would have to spend most of his time on the bumpy sea in the future, and the old general's body really couldn't bear it.

"I will lead the rest of the people to turn this into another Bayou Town, and this is also your backup place, if you can't find the location of Eden, then you can come back here."

Now that the matter has been decided, Xiao Chu nodded and said goodbye to the old general, and retired from the military tent. Tomorrow at sunrise will set sail, today I have brought all the things that should be brought on the boat, there is nothing to do, Xiao Chu simply walked on the beach alone. Speaking of which, after staying on Xieyang Island for half a month, Xiao Chu has never carefully appreciated the sunset scenery by the sea.

There are less than 100 people who volunteered to sail with Xiao Chu, including more than a dozen garrisons in the original Hekou Town, and Xiao Chu, Tiana, and Xiaobu Xiaobai, who cannot be regarded as ordinary people. In this way, only about sixty or seventy ordinary refugees voluntarily followed Xiao Chu on an unknown journey, but it is also a good thing that the number of people has decreased, at least the pressure on food has been greatly reduced, and the fishing capacity of this ship is enough to maintain, not to mention that under the premise that the marine industry has been stopped in the world for more than a year, all kinds of aquatic resources are extremely abundant, and there is no need to worry about nutritional imbalance.

Of course, Ruan Jichen and his parents, the old professor Duan Mo and Zheng Xun all voluntarily followed Xiao Chu on the road, especially Zheng Xun, who was strongly recommended by the old general. Even Ji Li was determined to follow Xiao Chu and the others on a journey, because in the past half a month, Ji Li finally realized that she could no longer be regarded as a living person and could not live with ordinary people, and she was afraid that one day she would not be able to control the part of her body that belonged to zombies and attacked her relatives.

Xiao Chu and others still admire Ji Li's decision, she is a little girl who has not experienced any ups and downs, and it is really courageous to choose to embark on an unknown journey with Xiao Chu and his party. At the moment, she is probably decorating the new room on the ship with Cereal Tiana.

"Huh? Who's that? After walking back and forth on the beach several times, Xiao Chu suddenly found that someone was swimming in the sea, and that person seemed to have spotted Xiao Chu and was swimming towards him.

"Emma?" When the man got closer, Xiao Chu didn't see that it was Emma in a swimsuit, but Emma had been locking herself in the laboratory since she had taken a large needle of blood from Xiao Chu a few days ago, how could she have the kung fu to swim now?

"You're not watching the sunset, are you?" Emma walked up to Xiao Chu and said to him with a smile. Today, Emma is wearing a black bikini, extremely sexy and hot, and her almost perfect body almost makes Xiao Chu breathe, and it is the first time Xiao Chu has seen Emma's hair spread out, which is three points more beautiful than when she has a high bun.

"You guessed it, I'm really watching the sunset." Xiao Chu tried hard to take his eyes off Emma's body, but unfortunately the beautiful scenery of the sunset over the sea was too ethereal, and the attraction to Xiao Chu was far less than that of Emma, who was within reach, and Xiao Chu even suspected that if it weren't for his left hand still falling on his chest, he couldn't help but want to hug the beauty in front of him into his arms.

Emma sat down next to Xiao Chu next to him, combing her loose hair and asking softly, "I heard, we're going to set sail tomorrow?" "She has been busy with her experiments in the laboratory these days, and she really doesn't know much about other things, and today she just suddenly realized that the sunset on the sea is very beautiful, so she suddenly wanted to relax, but she didn't expect to meet Xiao Chu on the beach.

"Yes, if you still want to go back to Weizhou Island to get something, it's best to take advantage of tonight, we will set sail tomorrow at sunrise." In fact, in the past half a month, in addition to accompanying Emma back to transport the remaining half of the carload of goods back, Xiao Chu also had to go on a trip from time to time to get some other things.

Emma shook her head and smiled, "There's nothing left to take, if anything, I still have some underwear over there, if you're interested, I can go back and get it." ”

"This ...... Forget it...... I'm not interested. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
