Today, most of the survivors do not have the conditions to grow crops at home, and they even have to save fuel for heating.

Because the island is so small, if we cut down trees without restraint, we won’t even be able to find firewood in the future.

Fortunately, it has been discovered that fish skin can be used as fuel, so people don't have to suffer from the cold.

The breadfruit tree was also confirmed dead, producing only a few thousand kilograms of food for them.

Captain Chen felt very sorry, but there was no way to fight against this natural disaster!

The meaning of moving to this island in the first place seemed to no longer exist.

However, it cannot be denied that the resources in tropical regions are indeed much richer than those on Hope Island No. 1.

Even though they had entered into eternal night and a large number of creatures in the sea had become extinct, they still found a lot of fish near Island No. 2.

Captain Chen also estimated that based on their current population, the current fish reserves would be enough for them to eat for at least a year.

In addition, they also have plantations on the mothership.

The mother ship has been engaged in planting for many years and is very experienced.

Plant lights, air conditioning systems, nutrients, planting experts, and more.

During previous natural disasters of extreme cold and high temperatures, they were still able to harvest a lot of staple food, not to mention that the current temperature has not yet dropped to the point where humans despair.

Therefore, Captain Chen has been urging the mother ship to continue planting.

Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are the staple foods, and there are also several vegetables with very high yields.

The residents of the island have enough fish to fill their stomachs, but what they lack most is vitamin supplements.

The warship must exchange various vegetables for the survivors.

Qi Mingyu also took out the vegetable dehydrator that he had exchanged for a high price, and dehydrated and preserved all the harvested fresh vegetables.

The chickens and ducks on the mother ship are also well-raised because they have feed made from fish offal, which they particularly like and lay eggs frequently.

Therefore, those who lived better off could also exchange some chicken and duck eggs with the warships to supplement their nutrition.

The Zhou family is quite experienced in breeding. Xue Dong has been engaged in breeding on the mother ship for many years and also came to the Zhou family for some advice.

The Zhou family’s firewall was on day and night and never stopped.

So it's warm.

They also didn't want to live with smelly chickens day and night, after all, the stone house they built was very small.

It was a bit crowded for several adults to move around in there, let alone make room to raise chickens and ducks.

They built a chicken coop next to the stove in the kitchen cabin.

Although it tastes bad, you only have to endure it when cooking.

All that remains is to clean frequently, open the windows for ventilation, and reduce the odor inside.

Their family initially hatched about 30 chicks, eight or nine of which were roosters.

The place at home was too small, so we left one rooster and killed and ate the rest one by one.

Ten hens were distributed to Xue Dong and Zhi Peng's families, and the two families exchanged them for fresh fish.

Neighbor Jiang Yixin also wanted to raise some chickens, so I gave her a few of them. Together with the ones that were not raised, she now has seven or eight chickens.

Not long ago, these grown-up hens started laying eggs, ensuring that everyone in the family can eat an egg every day.

The biting sea breeze carried tiny pieces of ice that hit the submarine's hull, making a sharp friction sound.

Zhou Shuwan wrapped his thick coat tightly around him and stared at the bottomless seabed through the narrow observation window.

After half a month's voyage, they were already far away from the island.

This time, besides Qi Mingyu, she also brought her parents and Mu Mu.

They are going out to sea to fish and try to catch as many fish as possible before the fish population becomes extinct.

But if I'm away for too long, my family will be worried.

If there is another tsunami or something, leaving my parents and Mu Mu at home, I won’t feel at ease with them being outside.

So, we set off together on a submarine, and we can explore farther seas with greater peace of mind.

Before leaving, Zhou Shuwan went to Yuxuan's house and entrusted the chickens and vegetables at home to her, asking her to help take care of them.

Zhipeng and Xue Tao went out fishing again, and Xue Dong would go to the mother ship for two hours every day to be responsible for breeding.

Only Yuxuan and Chunchun are at home.

Zhou Shuwan repeatedly reminded Yuxuan that when encountering emergencies such as tsunamis, she should put her own safety first and not be foolish enough to only care about things and ignore people.

"Also, it's not safe outside right now. You and Chunchun shouldn't go out alone. Wait until Zhipeng, Cousin Tao, and Dongdong are home."

Yuxuan pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister Wanwan, don't worry. I know the seriousness of the matter! Chunchun and I will usually stay at home. So, I'll bring your chickens over and raise them together with ours. There are also vegetables from our family in your vegetable garden. I'll wait for my brother and the others to come back and we'll go together."

When she smiled like this, her scarred face revealed some of its former beauty.

Zhou Shuwan felt a pang in his heart, patted Yuxuan's hand, and turned away.

Under the skillful control of Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu, the submarine silently shuttled through the dark sea.

Zhou Shuwan was concentrating on using his space to detect the traces of the fish and guide the direction of the submarine.

It is dangerous to travel in the dark sea like this.

Several times, they almost hit the huge reefs on the seabed.

Fortunately, everything was out of danger in the end.

"Thirty degrees left front, twenty meters down."

Zhou Shuwan's tone was steady, yet there was a subtle sense of urgency.

She stood in the cockpit, her eyes closed, her palms pressed against the cold glass, and her whole body seemed to blend into the surrounding environment.

She is using her spatial perception ability to explore the movements of fish in the deep sea.

Qi Mingyu did not hesitate and immediately adjusted the submarine's course.

The submarine slowly dived, the surrounding pressure gradually increased, and the hull made a slight buzzing sound.

"The school of fish is still more than a thousand meters away from us."

Zhou Shuwan spoke again, and this time, there was a barely perceptible hint of joy in her tone.

Qi Mingyu's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately increased the speed of the submarine's descent.

Mu Mu also cooperated quickly and adjusted the power of the thrusters.

The submarine is like a huge sea beast, diving silently into deeper waters.

At this moment, Zhou Shuwan frowned slightly, and the force of his palm against the glass increased a little.

She sensed something unusual ahead—at the edge of the underwater canyon, a huge reef lay across the path that the fish must pass through.

If the submarine continues to dive, it is likely to hit these reefs.

"Stop diving!" Her voice was steady. "There's a reef ahead. Adjust course and go around it!"

When sailing in the pitch-black seabed, even the most sophisticated navigation system cannot compare to Zhou Shuwan's spatial perception ability.

What's more, there is no navigation now, so Zhou Shuwan has been leading the way all the way, which is safer and closer to their destination.

It is much more efficient than wandering aimlessly in the ocean.

They were heading to a deep-sea canyon.

Zhou Shuwan had sensed a large school of fish here before, so he guided Qi Mingyu and the others here.
