I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 878 - 968: Finally Escaped, Heading to the Next Supply Point!
The horn of the official ship blared across the sea, beams of light illuminating the pitch-black surface, as ferry after ferry and ship lined up, finally emerging from the Mirror Sea Area, escaping the Devil’s Forbidden Land that no one could ever escape from in the past.
As the fresh sea breeze howled in, Jing Shu couldn’t help but take a deep breath and murmured, "Goodbye, my wallet. See you next time!" She said, leaving several hundred rotten mermaids scattered across various locations as landmarks.
Everyone cheered loudly, they had finally escaped.
As they emerged, the Mirror Sea Area behind them seemed to disappear, or perhaps it was just hiding in the background, but in any case, it was gone.
The satellite phone immediately rang, with numerous signals flooding in.
With excitement in his heartfelt voice, after answering the call, Zhou Lai spoke heavily yet calmly:
"Now reporting, the Hundred Ship Army heading to the Middle East, has safely escaped from the Mirror Sea Area, successfully acquiring the New Energy of the Apocalypse Dark Energy!!"
In the conference room, some were excited, some shed tears, while others quickly took advantage of the signal to report their safety to their families.
Old Zhou and Yang Yang got busy, after all, having disappeared for so many days and discovering so many significant things, they certainly had to report to the higher-ups.
When talking about the Dark Energy, Old Zhou suggested that a team should be dispatched to receive part of the energy, as Dark Energy is valuable. If they face total annihilation on this trip, at least they could bring a portion back.
Therefore, they agreed to meet at the next supply point.
Jing Shu was scratching her head like crazy, she still wanted to cultivate for a bit longer, to enlarge the crystals~ hopefully, she wouldn’t get exposed.
...
Without the obstruction of the Air Wall, the fleet’s speed finally picked up a bit, just a bit.
Because every ship was heavily laden with the fermented Corpse Worms, causing severe overloading, and the smell was even worse than a cesspool.
In the first two days, everyone in the fleet would be retching and gagging, but after just ten short days, people almost got used to the fermented smell, and could even take off their gas masks and eat on the ship with a straight face, proving the powerful adaptability of humans.
However, in these ten days, everyone indeed worked very hard, besides dealing with the smell, they also had to constantly fish Corpse Worms from the sea to produce Fuel.
Of course, all this hard work was worthwhile, as the fermented Corpse Worms for fuel were continuously reducing, from just one ship cultivating these plants at the start, to now five big ships full of this terrifying plant, growing hands and feet all over the ship, some parts even covered with eyes, making it quite scary at first glance.
The young men on Jing Shu’s ship were kept busy, not only with rolling cigarettes but also with brewing alcohol, as the barrels of water previously used up were now replaced with this kind of beer.
You never know how things will turn out, Jing Shu initially filled a whole ship with water to sell in the Middle East, only to end up selling it to her own people halfway, earning a significant amount of Contribution for it, which was quite unexpected.
But now that the water is sold out, her ship is conveniently filled with beer, does this mean she should sell it in the Middle East?
Well, excuse me for doing so, hehe.
Jing Shu hadn’t been idle during these days, and instead has developed more than a dozen different beer flavors, planning to make exquisite beers with other flavors and sell them as luxury items.
With a piece of cloth over her head, the saying "In this world, I am the richest" wasn’t uttered lightly, she thought she certainly wouldn’t forgive herself if she didn’t exchange for a little oil.
Of course, before the apocalypse, Jing Shu also loved drinking milk beer, brewed with milk, beer, and honey, which had a fermented mellow taste with fresh sweetness of milk. Jing Shu was attempting to make it again, once made, it could diversify the beer product lineup.
Actually, the main thing is, she wasn’t used to drinking beer, and with limited beverages in the apocalypse, she had to find something nice for herself.
The whole fleet managed to persist for ten days without Fuel, without water, and even the elite guards in the fleet found it incredible, as Captain Jing Shu took out huge containers daily, providing all the Hundred Ship Army needed. Just how much water did Captain Jing Shu bring?
At this point, when they looked at Jing Shu again, they had a genuine respect for her.
"Honestly, even though I spent hundreds of Contribution to buy water, without Captain Jing Shu’s water, we really wouldn’t have survived."
"Indeed, Captain Jing Shu is really awesome, I have a good relationship with Zhang Yicheng on her ship, and I learned from him that they filled an entire ship with water before departure, wow, other ships were empty, but Captain Jing’s ship had everything."
"After this, I will not contradict Captain Jing Shu anymore."
"Me neither."
When it reached the later days, even Jing Shu’s water was nearly exhausted, leaving everyone with only beer to drink.
Think about how this situation unfolded, leaving everyone both happy and distressed, knowing that they’re drinking away their hard-earned Contribution.
Fortunately, the Hundred Ship Army finally reached the next supply point.
"At this speed, the fleet will finally reach the next supply station in another three hours."
When Yang Yang’s message came through, everyone was invigorated!
Finally, they wouldn’t have to drink the beer that cost a Contribution per bottle, it was like spending 288 yuan for a can of cola before the apocalypse, so painful it was suffocating.
The goal this time was to reach Kolunke, this big supply point to restock enough supplies to directly cross the Indian Ocean.
Therefore, the buying power was enormous.
At this moment, the whole fleet had exhausted all resources, needing to replenish fuel, food, water, etc.
Luckily, this place belonged to a Friend Country of Huaxia, with which friendly agreements were signed. Before the apocalypse, Huaxia helped this country build a power system and a national railway system, selling them discarded trains, earning only a few trillion.
Kolunke was sanctioned by the United States and other countries, and Huaxia lent a helping hand, assisting them in rebuilding their homeland. Therefore, when the fleet docked, they received a warm welcome from this country.
"Dock the fleet ashore, prepare to hand over ten ships of fermented Corpse Worms, two ships of plants, and the Dark Energy," Yang Yang directed, as these many items needed to be partially taken back to Huaxia, leaving space for loaded supplies.
However, what surprised Jing Shu was that Zhen Nantian was to escort the Dark Energy back to the country this time!
She hadn’t seen Zhen Nantian for so long.
