I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 1000 - 1089: Back to the South Sea, Reuniting with a Joyful Grandma Jing

"Hey, old lady, what are you looking at? This area has been requisitioned and temporarily blocked. You can stand outside and watch, but don’t cross the railing!"

The security uncle responsible for the perimeter held a baton, throwing the rotten corpse insects that leapt onto the shore back down, while urging the crowd to stay away.

Usually, this is a civilian pier with people coming and going. Since the migration of Wu City people, the rotten corpse insects that originally devoured several kilometers of South Sea Pier have become scarce.

There’s no choice. Wu City people wanted to survive, so they collected rotten corpse insects as fuel, earning 1 Virtual Coin for every one hundred pounds.

With tens of thousands of people arriving, in less than a month they had cleaned up the rotten corpse insects that plagued the South Sea and were scattered throughout it.

Originally, the higher-ups just wanted to use rotten corpse insects as fuel. But with Wu City people producing so much fuel, they conveniently sold a batch of it.

A few thousand tons of fuel sold for only tens of thousands of Virtual Coins. The shipping tycoons felt it was practically a free gain, so they cleaned up all the rotten corpse insects in South Sea.

Needless to say, whatever you bring to Huaxia, as long as it’s slightly useful, they’ll turn it into a rare protected animal.

With fewer rotten corpse insects, the Township Government built many new buildings, making the pier bustle.

Grandma Jing looked at the huge ships in the distance, showing a hint of envy in her eyes. She’s lived most of her life with few opportunities to board ships. Her most recent trip was half a year ago, from Wu City’s Zhanjiang Pier to South Sea Pier, lasting only half an hour.

It was quite fun.

Grandma Jing said, "My granddaughter might be on the ship. We won’t go over, we’ll just wait for her here."

As she spoke, she unconsciously straightened her back.

The security was somewhat surprised, "Why don’t you give a call? The fleet might leave soon, it won’t stay here for long. Or maybe you’re mistaken, the ones on board are organized by higher-ups for a secret mission. Most of them aren’t from around here."

Grandma Jing sighed, "I’ve called but there’s no answer, probably busy. It doesn’t matter, I’ll just wait."

Wu You’ai looked at the time, well, no need to feast today.

The onlookers wore masks but it didn’t stop them from whispering.

"Is it true? Does this old lady really have a granddaughter on the ship?"

"I think she’s bragging. Haven’t you heard that those on the ship are all big shots, on international missions? Besides, the ship is just passing by."

"If it were true, the person would’ve come down already to greet her, no way they’d leave her waiting here."

Grandma Jing ignored them, uncertain herself but felt that the fleet returning from the Middle East should be this batch, right?

As they spoke, other ships honked and continued to move, leaving a gigantic aircraft carrier behind.

Before, with many ships, it wasn’t evident.

Now with fewer ships, this giant stands out, its massive, menacing gun barrels glinting coldly. Even from afar, it’s clearly visible. A layer on top shimmers like lasers, shining in all directions, pressing down on everyone around.

"Wow, is that an aircraft carrier? It’s so imposing."

"It’s even more impressive than the five-star ferry we took before. So cool, quickly take more photos and post online."

Snap snap!

At this moment, the mini Hulk beside Grandma Jing started trembling, as if in a fit.

"Hey, old lady, what’s wrong with your transport? Is it dangerous? If so, you should keep away from the crowd."

"Speaking of, our Hulk buses usually seat over ten, why is this one a mini? Looks much more high-end too."

As they spoke, a larger Hulk came running wildly from the aircraft carrier, and before the crowd could react, a mountain-like Hulk appeared before them.

The crowd started to stir.

The door of the Hulk opened, and out stepped a girl in white sporty attire, slim and full of vitality. Her steps were nimble and strong, her outfit fresh and clean, unlike what one would wear in an apocalypse.

It’s hard to imagine how she kept her white attire spotless amid the muddy mess created by the splash from rotten corpse insects, where every few steps were mired in mud. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Crucially, in this rank air that reeked of rotten eggs, the girl emitted a subtle fragrance when she opened the door, purifying the permeating foul smell as she walked.

Jing Shu first spoke to the security, "Sorry, I’m here to pick up my family."

The security’s mouth fell open, mechanically turning his head, surprised that this ordinary-looking old lady was the grandma of such a big figure.

Jing Shu embraced Grandma Jing, feeling the elder’s robust body, finally relieved. Smelling the celery scent from Grandma Jing, she knew it was from feeding pigs and ducks every day, cutting vegetables and mixing pig feed.

Not only did she not mind, but a deep nostalgia welled up inside her — this familiar scent felt so good.

"Grandma, I’ve missed you so much! Why did you come to the pier? I was just about to come down to meet you!" Jing Shu excitedly asked, holding Grandma Jing’s hand. She realized the Hulk was here, knowing Grandma Jing was too.

Grandma Jing spun Jing Shu around twice, her eyes smiling brightly, "We were heading to the Zhang family for a feast but heard the ships came, so I wanted to take a look. Didn’t expect it was you returning!"
