I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 867 - 957: Discovering the Island, Finally Landing!
This water was something I brought with me when I set off from the South Sea. Originally, I thought the Middle East was short on water, and water was expensive. I figured since the ship was empty anyway, bringing some water wouldn’t be a hassle. Then I could add some color and sweetener, and sell it as a drink. But I never expected that we would run into trouble here, and be so short on water—"
Jing Shu smiled slightly, "Did you hear that? This water was meant to be sold as a drink, it’s not being given to you for free!"
Everyone’s faces looked extremely strange. What? Did I hear that right? So Jing Shu brought all this water to sell in the Middle East? Is this even possible? How much fuel does an empty ship use, and bringing so many tons of water would increase fuel use by how much? Even if water is scarce there, could the money made from selling it over there cover the fuel costs?
But no matter what’s up with Captain Jing Shu’s mind, right now, in these times of water shortage, this water is valuable!
What Jing Shu said made the faces of those who thought they could return the water to the Middle Eastern people turn red.
Jing Shu sighed again: "And anyway, I don’t have much water left. We lost some when we hit the Air Wall earlier. So giving it to you guys, giving a lot or a little isn’t fair, and talking money hurts feelings. How about you do the same as the higher-ups, exchange 1 liter of water for 1 Contribution."
Others: Thank you, but I would rather you sell it for money.
How hard is it to earn Contribution Points?
Can you exchange anything for Contribution Points with Virtual Coins?
Even though Jing Shu’s words were clear, it’s the same price as the higher-ups, if it were cheaper—come on, you think you’re better than the higher-ups? They use 1 Contribution for 1 liter of water, and you think you could get it for free?
But you sell a cube of water for 1000 Contribution Points, why don’t you go rob someone? Even in the apocalypse, water is just dozens of Virtual Coins per cube, you’re charging tens of thousands of times more!!
Many people complained in their hearts, but when they spoke it turned into:
"Alright, alright, very reasonable, thanks to Captain Jing Shu."
"I would say 1 Contribution for 1 liter is cheap, selling for 100 Contribution here wouldn’t be too much."
"Finally have water to drink!"
"I was scared to death, I thought I would die of thirst."
Big Yellow Teeth stood up first: "Girl, give me 500 liters."
"500 liters? Big Yellow Teeth, take less, leave some for us."
"Ah, ah, ah, we all want 500 liters too."
"I, I, I, I want 500 liters too!"
Jing Shu sweetly smiled: "Sure, Tan Ke, go bring over the water barrels from the ship, put them on the official ship, so everyone can take water. Zhang Yicheng, you record over there."
How big can a water barrel be? Hope it’s enough to go around.
"I’ll get in line first."
"I’ll line up too, first come first serve!" Everyone eagerly queued up, afraid there wouldn’t be enough, but they were clearly mistaken.
When that huge barrel, as big as a small boat, sat on the whole deck of the official ship, others were stunned, really wanting to ask Jing Shu: "Is this the water barrel you mentioned?"
But the others became more curious about Jing Shu, who on earth brings such huge barrels when they go out to sea to get supplies!
Nannan clutched her hands tightly, repeatedly thinking Jing Shu must be out of her mind, bringing such heavy water on the boat for what?
Thinking this, but Nannan still went up to line up to buy water, she took a close look around the giant barrel, sneering inwardly, hum, tonight I’ll have someone steal all the water. Let’s see you show off after that!
Once everyone had bought water and eaten well, they returned to work, and Jing Shu still had to follow behind and collect energy.
This collection feels amazing, now she could already feel the space filled with a strong sense of energy, just not sure when it would upgrade!
Before you knew it, it was midnight; everyone rested for a few hours.
Someone set their sights on the giant water barrel, but upon seeing the bed set in front of the tap and Zhang Yicheng sleeping there on watch, those with intentions could only twitch their mouths and withdrew.
Yet there were still one or two fearless ones, sneakily trying to steal water.
He was Nannan’s second number fanboy...
Nannan couldn’t sleep well all night, wondering if the person succeeded, but was startled awake by noise, and when she went out of the cabin, she discovered Yang Yang was announcing the punishment for the water thief.
All Contribution Values deducted! Elite membership revoked!
Yet no one opposed, instead, united against the common enemy, moreover, several elite guards directly said they’d sleep on the deck to watch the water at night.
Nannan’s legs weakened, she quietly moved forward, and when she heard that the second number fanboy hadn’t exposed her, she slowly exhaled, it seems, next time she’d have to find another way to deal with Jing Shu.
"When the heck are we reaching the island! I’ve been eating Cockroach Meat for three days."
"Although fried and roasted cockroach are decent, eating 10 kilos per meal, 10 times a day, I’m so fed up I could puke."
"Same here, I can’t take it anymore."
"Is there really no other food? I really can’t eat Cockroach Meat anymore, been constipated for two days because of it."
"Oh, speaking of which, I’m insanely envious of Jing Shu’s team, they brought a dozen chickens and ducks, and can eat lots of eggs every day."
"Don’t mention it, I saw the Four-eyed boy eating a peach the other day, I was dumbfounded, asked where they got it, turned out they brought a peach tree?? Can that even be kept on a ship?"
"Holy, they brought water, fine, but chickens, ducks, and even a peach tree? Is there anything they can’t bring? What else have they brought?"
Just as they said this, an emergency announcement and summons came over the radio.
"Attention all teams! The teams cutting the Air Wall should move quickly! All other team members gather for an emergency meeting, the island is within scouting range! We are about to discuss island landing plans!"
With a boom, everyone was energized.
They immediately flocked to the main ship, seeing the island, finally able to land! It seemed like hope was in sight!
And Jing Shu, also full of energy, boarded the main ship, now it was full speed ahead, two teams were certainly working hard to cut it, she surely couldn’t let this energy slip by.
So she thought of a good way, dispatched hundreds of little snakes carrying thin ropes into the sea, as long as the little snakes touched the Air Wall’s energy, she could instantly retract into space, much easier than going into the sea herself.
"The island is right ahead, estimated to land in two hours! Now we will make three plans, which are the audacious plan, the cautious plan, and the escape plan!"
Unlike the usual all-hands discussion, this time there was no room for debate.
Yang Yang directly allocated tasks with the three plans. Everyone was serious, as this was no joke, the island really was dangerous.
