A faint morning glow appeared on the horizon, and the night slowly receded under the light.

In two empty and deserted rooms, everyone spent an uncomfortable night.

Due to long-term drifting on the water, my body has accumulated a lot of fatigue. Not only was I unable to have a good rest that night, but I also felt aches and pains in my back because I was not used to the unfamiliar environment.

But fortunately, the bonus provided by the route is not covered, and human physical fitness has far exceeded previous cognitive levels.

Just by getting up and moving around, all these discomforts were suppressed.

Pushing open the door and walking out of the courtyard, the scorching summer heat shows its most ferocious side in the northern part of the southern fire zone with many canyons.

The temperature in the early morning alone has already brazenly exceeded the 35-degree mark, and scorching hot air waves swept back and forth inside the canyon, like a trapped giant beast with nowhere to vent its blazing anger.

In the small fishing village, courtyard walls built haphazardly by the survivors separated out areas.

The areas are connected by narrow walkways that are slightly flattened, and there are simple drainage channels at the base of the walls.

There is an endless stream of fishermen. Considering that modern clothes ignore a certain degree of practicality for the sake of beauty, in just over a year, they have basically disappeared from people's sight, replaced by clothes woven with reeds.

Close-fitting raincoat.

The coir raincoat looks ugly and the comfort level is very average, but at least it doesn't have to be naked and burned by the sun.

In this relatively prosperous and peaceful small fishing village, everything is basically standard. Many people even cover their heads with straw hats and walk in a hurry.

In addition to the fishermen, there were many survivors from other trades. They were all busy walking around the fishing village while it was not too hot in the morning, and from time to time the sound of hawking could be heard.

Although everyone's condition does not look very healthy, overall they are still a little angry.

And this is the appearance of the place where most survivors gathered in Wasteland Year 2.

All waste awaits prosperity.

Both Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei had lived in such an environment for a long time, so there was nothing new at this time. They went out and caught people passing by and immediately started chatting.

When there are material rewards to clear the way, there is basically no need to worry about the opinions of those who are caught.

However, this was the first time for everyone else, and they were all looking around the fishing village with some novelty.

Compared with the original Hope Village, this small fishing village may be larger in size, with a population of nearly 4,000 and a total of nearly 300 large and small houses.

The name of the fishing village is ‘Ferry’, which has a clear meaning: it is an outpost for extraditing foreign survivors to join the enterprise.

The survivors living here basically have no special skills and are not qualified to enter the first four areas.

However, after companies have tasted the benefits, they have no intention of giving up on these people.

According to the latest policy, as long as you can live in the fishing village for more than one year, you are eligible to move into the fourth area.

Of course, it is unclear whether it will be moved into the fourth area or the small fishing village will be classified as the fourth area.

Anyway, with the incentive policies in place, the people who stay here are all quite optimistic.

"Hey, I won't necessarily be as comfortable as here if I go anywhere else. I'm too lazy to leave now that I'm here!"

The old fisherman who was talking to Chu Chaofei wiped off the hot sweat and wiped it on his raincoat.

"You are new here, so don't waste money on asking for information. The company in the village sent people to set up a bulletin board some time ago. If you want to find out any information, just go there and have a look."

After saying that, he immediately added: "Don't tell me what I told you. If you were to ask some people about this news, they would definitely kill you foreigners. I'm just looking at how you and my eldest nephew look."

It looks a bit like it, so I gave you a hand."

"Uncle, you have really helped us a lot, but don't the companies speak Blue Star language? We shouldn't be able to understand what they write on the bulletin board, right?"

"Haha, don't underestimate the people in other companies. I heard people say that even the sanitation workers who sweep the streets in Hu Lai City are professor-level figures on our planet, and the workers hired by any factory are academician-level.

How strange it is, if this kind of person can't learn our Chinese language, then there's something wrong.

It should be that not long after the four major regions were successfully established, the communication problem was solved!"

It seems that the old fisherman's level of education is not very high, but his ability to brag about his imagination is quite high.

Professor of sanitation workers, academician of workers?

Who the hell would come up with this? It feels like the emperor should be plowing the land with a golden hoe.

Chu Chaofei didn't bother to ask any more questions, and left with the excuse of going to see the bulletin board.

However, when he reached the bulletin board after asking people all the way, he found that Su Chan and Xi Ruyue had already arrived earlier.

It has to be said that the style of the corporate bulletin board is completely incompatible with the entire fishing village.

Before coming, Chu Chaofei thought that the so-called bulletin board was the kind common on earth, a simple iron plate or wooden board, with notices or advertisements written crookedly on it with paint or chalk, and maybe also covered with various small signs.

Advertisements and missing-item notices appear messy and full of life.

However, the bulletin board in front of me was made of an unknown silver-white metal material, with a surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the light and shadow of the surrounding environment. The shape of this thing turned out to be a streamlined three-dimensional structure, like a spaceship about to set sail.

There are no paper or handwritten notices on the bulletin board. Instead, there is a huge electronic screen that scrolls with various information, ranging from the latest developments of the company to the weather forecast of the fishing village.

What surprised Chu Chaofei even more was that this bulletin board also had interactive functions.

He saw Su Chan standing in front of the screen curiously. He stretched out his hand and touched it lightly. The information on the screen immediately changed and the corresponding information was displayed.

Is this a business?

Chu Chaofei was secretly frightened, and quickly quickened his pace and walked to the two of them.

"I just asked someone about a bulletin board in the village where the company has posted all the information that survivors need to know. I didn't expect you guys to be so fast and you arrived a minute earlier than me."

"We were just wandering around when we suddenly saw this screen."

Xi Ruyue smiled. It wasn't because they had sharp eyes, it was just that this thing was too conspicuous.

There were still many people gathered around to check the weather and announcements just now, but they were too embarrassed to go there. Now they waited until most of the people had left before coming over to see what the situation was.

While the two were chatting and sharing information, Su Chan suddenly stopped moving her fingers.

"Hey, come and take a look, no wonder this tributary in the canyon is enough to build several small fishing villages along the line, and the aquatic products support more than 200,000 people. It turns out that this is the work of a company."

An announcement message is frozen on the screen, and the date is that it was released by the company on the 27th.

That is to say, it has only been two days since the announcement of the severe spring cold disaster was issued.

The title of the announcement is "Continuous and long-term construction of surrounding river ecosystems". At first glance, the message conveyed to people should be to call on humans to protect the ecological environment of surrounding tributaries.

However, after carefully studying the content of the announcement, the actual situation is completely opposite to what the title implies.

Not only does the entire announcement contain no words calling on humans to protect the environment, but it also reveals a hint of increasing development efforts.

The company clearly announced that in the next full year, they will continue to carry out scientific aquaculture and breeding activities.

The specific plans are as follows:

In the first month, it is expected that 8,000-15,000 adult fish will be released into the upper reaches of the tributaries every day as a preliminary experimental release to observe the initial impact and adaptability of the fish on the river ecology.

In the second month, once the results of the initial release are confirmed, the company will increase the number of releases by an astonishing ten times, and the number of adult fish released every day will be no less than 100,000, in order to rapidly expand the size of the fish population and form a significant ecological impact.

effect.

In the third month, the number will increase fivefold, reaching a peak of 500,000 per day.

As long as there are no unexpected events, the peak value will continue for the next nine months, that is, calculated at half a million, completely revitalizing the ecological environment of the surrounding waters.

"My God, half a million tails a day, isn't that more than 10 million a month?" Chu Chaofei was stunned.

Based on the current population gathered nearby, each person can get an average of two fish.

And this is not delivered once a month, but once a day.

Isn't this behavior equivalent to directly sending supplies to surrounding earth players?

As long as you stay near the upstream company's release point and start fishing as soon as the fish enter the water, you can easily catch a sufficient number of fish.

“It’s not a fry yet, the characteristics indicate that the fish being released are adult fish!”

Xi Ruyue captured the key points.

Although there is a difference between releasing fry and releasing adult fish, the gap in between is not too big.

For example, common economic fish in China, such as black carp, black carp, and grass carp, basically require one to two years of age, that is, seven or eight months to grow.

The growth rate of African fish, the Pseudomonas genus, is the fastest in the world, and it also takes at least four months.

Regardless of where the fish fry in the hands of the company come from, even if the fish fry started to be cultivated as soon as the giant dragon fairy river appeared, it would not be possible to guarantee such a huge scale of release in just three months.

The only reason that can be explained is that the company has a special means to produce adult fish.

It sounds incredible, but it is the only reasonable explanation at the moment.

"Companies can obviously give these released aquatic products to people living upstream and downstream for free, but they instead use the method of releasing them upstream and let the survivors work hard for it."

Su Chan thought thoughtfully, this kind of situation is actually not uncommon in Tianyuan territory.

In order to quickly improve the level of new survivors, the territory not only provides initial material gift packages, but also offers many special training courses to help newcomers quickly find the direction they are interested in and get a job that is enough to make a living.

However, just like the current methods of enterprises, these resources and opportunities are not provided for free.

Newcomers will be saddled with a reasonable loan and will need to work for several months to repay it.

By bearing a certain amount of survival pressure, their enthusiasm and sense of responsibility can be better stimulated, and it can also help cultivate the self-reliance and independent spirit of new people.

At the same time, this approach also reflects the territorial management’s rational allocation and management of resources.
