Chapter 359: Winter strikes
The cruise ship slowly landed, and long distances found that the base was intact, and even the periphery was as lively as before. Duo Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and controlled the ship to slowly sail into the port. When the cruise ship was docking, Longlong consciously narrowed his body and wrapped it around Duo Yu's wrists and put bracelets on him. Nurse Zhao and Duo Yu were transporting the harvest from this trip down the ship.
In order to facilitate survivors and to better harvest materials from survivors, to supplement the base’s increasingly serious shortage of income and increase everyone’s enthusiasm for tasks, the smart base authorities not only ordered the establishment of material recycling centers in the three districts of the base, but also in the slums outside the base, the base was also located in an open space not far from the dock, and a large-scale recycling center was set up.
Unused and Nurse Zhao left some common items such as clothes and shoes for their own use. The rest, such as furniture, books, machines, accessories, etc., were pulled to the recycling center of the dock and exchanged them with generous points. These points can be exchanged from shopping centers for various supplies, which can not only provide daily necessities, but also be used as currency at the base, unimpeded.
As for other harvests this time, such as the fish caught, the excess is left according to the old rules, and some of the family’s favorite food is enough for them to eat for a week, and the rest is replaced with points.
Although this trip encountered an earthquake under the sea, it was a bit dangerous in the middle, but fortunately, the harvest was rich. Nurse Zhao carried the rest of the things on its back, took the time to take the diesel from the cruise ship, packed the keys, and took the points needed for the parking lot. Then he went to the convenience center next to the recycling center, bought milk powder for Xiao Duobao, Xiao Zhong bought some delicious food, and bought some food that was covered with people's ears. The excess Nurse Zhao and the other ones were carrying large bags and rushed home.
When they decided to live outside the high walls of the base, they just considered that they had secrets and special dragons, and they didn't want to be bound by the base and were passively managed. So even though they were mixed around the base, they did not change their original intentions and lived in slums outside the base near the dock.
However, considering the safety issues, when they settled down, they still chose a safer place as much as possible. For example, their home is located at the innermost location on the periphery, and one side is close to the high wall of the base, which is the safest area in the periphery. In order to protect the old and young people in the family, they rented a branch in the place outside the narrow courtyard, which played a good protection and warning role.
Duoyu and Nurse Zhao rushed home with the harvest of big and small bags. Along the way, I don’t know how many envious eyes I have gained from the open and secret.
In order to have a stable life, when he first came, Duoyu and Nurse Zhao showed their power. When someone came to find fault, they fought hard, which shocked some people around him who were ill-hearted. After all, two tombs who were even afraid of themselves were not something they could provoke.
Of course, considering that humans are social animals and need to be extra willing, Dr. Zhang, who is a mature man, will come out from time to time and be well aware of the principle of giving a sweet date with a stick.
Fortunately, their family has work and can earn points to support their family. In addition, they have the two killing weapons of Ultimate and Longlong, so they do not lack food and drink, and they do not lack points in their hands. From time to time, some benefits are leaked from their fingers, which makes people in this slum love and fear.
At this moment, when I saw Duoyu and Nurse Zhao return with great harvest, someone leaned over his head along the way, envious and jealous.
"Hey, look, these two female overlords are back, and I don't know how much they have gained this time?"
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, look at their big bags, how can this gain be smaller? Besides, when did you see them coming out empty-handed?"
"Yes, I guess the couples who stayed at home have a good time again. I just want to pity us..."
"Hey, you are so pitiful, you are so lazy. If you envy it, if you have the ability, you will go out to sea too. The base has not stopped everyone from going out to sea to make a fortune."
"Bad! What you said is simple, but is it still the same now? The ecology has changed now. Do you think fish are so easy to catch? Haven't you seen many people have made up their minds and how many people can catch fish in the end? And how many people have died because of this?"
"This is right, going to sea is dangerous! People like us who can't swim at all can't go there, so they just take the risk with the courage. What if they encounter strong winds and waves or those wandering gangsters on the sea? I don't want to take my life on my own, and would rather take care of Ansheng's work on land."
"Hmph, since that's the case, then don't envy others for saying sour words."
"Damn, I'm called realizing reality, envy, how do you call sour words?"
"Okay, okay, don't argue anymore. This guy is right. It's not peaceful outside now. I heard from the previous one that the sea is not calm. It is said that the news is coming from the top. There is also an eruption of undersea volcanoes recently. I said that the frozen sea said that it is also a sign of a comeback. People like us who are incompetent should save their lives first. And then again, even if we want to take risks for stuttering, we are not able to stand it. Now it's not as expensive as before. Fuel is more expensive than food. We are poor, who can buy diesel for overseas trips? Who is not afraid of losing all your money?"
"Oh, too, too..."
Duoyu and Nurse Zhao were rushing to their homes through the streets and alleys during the discussions around them.
When we were about to reach the doorstep, a familiar greeting came from the side.
"Oh, Xiao Li and Xiao Zhao are back? This trip is going well, right? The old woman sees that you have gained a lot."
When passing a low shack, the old lady who was working on sewing old clothes at the door of the shack was working on this skill to support her family, smiling at them.
Everything in the base is tense. Since the flood, clothes are also an expensive thing that cannot be renewed. If it is broken, how can it be discarded as freely as before? It is a more efficient existence than the hard years in the past. So naturally, a repair work like an old lady came into being.
Although I don’t make much money, if I have a good business and fast hands and feet, I can get three or five points in a day. When I meet someone who is unwilling to take the risk of going out to sea, I drink seaweed and buy some fast mushrooms cultivated in the base, and my life is enough.
The son of this neighbor, Mrs. Bing, is capable at home, but she is too idle. She has also started this sewing business and can subsidize the family income. Because Dr. Zhang had treated the grandson of this family, she brought two expensive eggs to thank her. After a while, everyone was considered acquaintances.
Seeing the old lady greeting her with a smile, she was not as jealous as others in her eyes, so she nodded and responded, and ordered Nurse Zhao.
"Xiao Zhao, we caught a lot of fish this time and we can't finish it at home. You can take two out for Grandma Bing so that she can ask her to make up for it. They are all children."
When Nurse Zhao, who had already practiced stinginess, first frowned and reluctantly, then she heard the child mentioned by Duoyu. She thought of the cute little Duobao at home, and then thought of Xiao Zhong's sensible child. Nurse Zhao became soft-hearted. Obediently, stopped, put down the basket on her back, picked up two fat fish from it and handed it to Mrs. Bing.
The old lady was shocked at first, then her eyes burst into joy.
God knows how long it has been since I tasted meat.
After she pretended to make some polite words, she took it with joy, holding two fat fish in her hand. Old Mrs. Bing kept swallowing her saliva in her mouth, and was constantly planning how to cook the two fish.
Duoyu and Nurse Zhao didn't know what Mrs. Bing thoughts, so they left without looking back, leaving Mrs. Bing behind holding Yu Qianen thanked her. Still noticed the bad gazes around her. Old Mrs. Bing hurriedly carried the fish back to the house and closed the not-so-thick broken wooden door, which was considered to be the isolation of many sights outside.
Going further forward, after seeing Mrs. Bing get the benefits, more and more people greeted Duoyu and the others enthusiastically. They were all happy, with expectations in their eyes, and the good words in their mouths were like they didn't have money.
"Little Li and Xiao Zhao, you are back. How are you doing along the way? You both are good girls with kindness. Haha, isn't you getting a good harvest this time?"
"Doctor Zhang and Xiao Liao miss you these days when you are not here, and now you are back."
"Yesterday, I saw Xiao Zhong, the child with Duobao, and Duobao was crying and asking for his mother. Xiao Li, you'll be fine if you come back."
Emma, these people are so enthusiastic that they can't move forward.
Duoyu frowned, looked at the faces that were filled with pain, and thought about the teachings of Uncle Liang, who is still lying in his own space, Duoyu selectively asked Nurse Zhao to give some people who don’t say bad things on weekdays and have not yet broken their character.
One, two, three or four fish were given out, and Nurse Zhao felt distressed. These people thought these fish were easy to catch? They were all fish that Sister Li had caught at risk!
Nurse Zhao was resentful and did not know at all. Sister Li, who was beside her, secretly noticed the desire to gain, expressed satisfaction. Seeing that more and more people were surrounding him and reaching out to his hands after hearing the movement, Nurse Zhao could no longer bear it.
Unknown that Duoyu and Longlong took advantage of the panic of fish under the sea, took the opportunity to take advantage of the huge harvest and saved a lot of fishing in the pig cage space. Nurse Zhao, who quickly carried the basket and waved his hand to the crowd that was still crowding.
"Okay, okay, no more, we have to leave two for our family to satisfy our cravings. They are all gone, they are gone..."
To be honest, she didn't want to blame these people for not walking so hard when they saw food. It's really a compelling world...
