Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "Okay, Zhipeng, thank you very much."

Zhipeng waved his hand. "It's nothing! You were able to come up with such a targeted medicine to treat Chunchun's illness. My cousin Tao and I are grateful to you. Now my cousin Tao doesn't know. If he knew you needed diesel, he might have drained the fuel tanks of the fishing boats he manages overnight."

Zhou Shuwan's eyes widened when he heard this. "That won't do. You have to persuade him not to be so impulsive! If he offends the higher-ups and gets kicked off the warship, it would be a disaster!"

Zhipeng looked at her and couldn't help laughing.

He and Zhou Shuwan are the same age, and they usually call each other by their names.

But even though they were both in their early thirties, Zhou Shuwan's wide-eyed look at that moment reminded Zhipeng of her back then.

The estrangement that had been hidden in my heart since we met again suddenly disappeared.

"Don't worry, I'll remind him."

After Zhou Shuwan returned, he told Qi Mingyu about this. Qi Mingyu paused for a moment and said, "Don't let Zhipeng and the others get involved in this. It sounds easy to extract the fishing boat's fuel tank, but if the military finds out, the cost will be too high and it won't be worth it. Let's find another way."

Zhou Shuwan nodded in agreement, his brows relaxed: "I think so too."

Because she had mentioned the sea cabbage to Zhipeng when they met before, Zhipeng didn't mind letting the people in the camp know the location.

Because there were many ships in that sea area, the fact that sea cabbage grew on the reefs gradually became no longer a secret, and some people went there. He, Xue Tao, and Xue Dong all had no time, so instead of giving it to others, it would be better to let the people in the camp benefit from it.

Zhou Shuwan decided to talk to other people in the camp to see if anyone wanted to go, but he also explained in advance that he needed to give Zhipeng and the others some compensation.

Naturally, everyone had no objection. Having an additional source of food was a great thing for them.

The next morning, the Zhou family's cruise ship was filled with people who wanted to harvest sea cabbage.

We went there early this time, but there were already some people harvesting sea cabbage on the reef.

There are so many ships in this sea area that it is not surprising that it was discovered by others.

Zhou Shuwan and his group also squatted down and started cutting vegetables.

Qi Mingyu put on a diving suit and dived into the sea to cut some kelp.

There are many boats in this area, but relatively few fish.

When they came ashore, they cast a net on the boat to catch fish. After harvesting a boatload of sea cabbage at noon, they went to fish out the net, but they only caught a dozen fish weighing three or four pounds.

A few of them headed back home, and after reaching the shore, everyone worked together to carry the harvest ashore.

The sea cabbage collected this time weighed 300 kilograms. 30 kilograms were given to Zhipeng, and another 30 kilograms were given to thank the Zhou family for the boat. The remaining 240 kilograms were divided among the families according to the number of participants. Each family got several dozen kilograms, which was enough to eat for a while.

Zhou Jianghai looked at the pile of vegetables, a gratified smile on his face, and sighed: "As long as people are diligent, they will never starve to death."

Zhou Shuwan felt that his father had completely forgotten about the scarcity of resources in the apocalypse when he saw these sea cabbages.

Zhou Shuwan found out in the evening. During the day, Tao Zheng and others asked for other ways and actually spent a high price to exchange a few barrels of diesel from the Gu family, which they kept as treasures.

Zhou Shuwan was also very happy.

With diesel, they drove both boats together when they went to harvest sea lettuce the next day.

There were many people who went this time, and it took a whole day to pick more than 700 kilograms of sea cabbage. As usual, 50 kilograms were given to Zhipeng and 30 kilograms to the Zhou family. The remaining 600 kilograms were divided equally, which was enough to last for a long time.

The camp was bustling with activity.

People clean the sea lettuce, eat part of it directly, and dry the rest for future consumption.

The air is filled with the fragrance of sea cabbage, mixed with the salty smell of the sea breeze, creating a unique atmosphere of apocalyptic seaside life.
