After three rounds of toasts, everyone was smiling.
Liang Yuan spoke up: "Our main task now is to finish the raft as soon as possible."
"The marine life around this building is increasing, we can’t stay here for too long."
"The further we go, the more terrifying the mutated creatures might become."
"Secondly, there’s the issue of supplies. Although I killed Wang Ze this time and obtained a lot of supplies, it’s still far from enough."
"If we move to the mountains later, there definitely won’t be any extra supplies there. We must prepare in advance and gather more supplies."
"My current idea, besides collecting a large number of mutant fish to make dried fish, is to also expand new channels for gathering supplies."
After Liang Yuan finished speaking, the others couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
"Indeed, if we really move to the mountains, supplies will be a big problem," Old Ma said.
Cai Zhi added, "Fortunately, Liang Yuan, you have the Space Superpower to store supplies. Otherwise, even if we had supplies, we wouldn’t be able to preserve them."
"Liang Yuan, do you have any ideas?" Ding Yan asked.
"My idea is that the other buildings in our complex might have some supplies."
"Of course, these supplies won’t be much. After half a year of floods, most supplies have either been consumed or are controlled by people like Liu Erlong and Wang Ze."
"The latter is fine, but if it’s the former, we won’t find any supplies at all."
"So, searching other buildings for supplies is just one way. The main thing is to exchange for fish over there."
"Rice and flour are hard to find, but mutant fish are everywhere."
"We should try to make as much dried fish as possible and store a large amount of fish meat."
"This way, even if there’s nothing to eat in the mountains, we won’t have to worry about food in the short term."
At this moment, Granny Li suddenly said, "By the way, when you gather supplies, try to see if there are any seeds of vegetables and fruits, as well as wheat, rice, corn, and sweet potatoes. If we can plant those in the mountains, we won’t lack food."
Liang Yuan nodded, "We will pay special attention to that."
Actually, Liang Yuan had some stockpiles of potatoes and corn, as he had been eating potatoes from the start.
But he hadn’t seen rice, wheat, or sweet potatoes.
This would require some thought.
As for food, he wasn’t too worried.
With the Lottery System, he could always get food through lottery draws.
The food in the 100 Points Lottery Disc was measured in tons.
So the urgent task was to earn Points.
But this couldn’t be said openly, so he used making dried fish as an excuse.
If he drew some uncommon prizes, he would have a reason to take them out.
Going out to find supplies would be a good excuse.
He could completely say he found some special supplies outside.
"Granny Li, Sister Mei, Sister Wu, you can help make a list of the key supplies we need. We’ll find a way to get them."
Liang Yuan assigned tasks to several women.
They immediately agreed with great enthusiasm.
Then Liang Yuan turned to Old Ma and said, "Old Ma, your task with Brother Cai is to make the raft. This is our top priority."
"I hope to have the raft ready before the flood reaches the twentieth floor. Can you do it?"
Old Ma adjusted his glasses and said, "The flood is at the thirteenth floor now, right? Don’t worry, we’ll have enough time before it reaches the twentieth floor."
Cai Zhi also nodded, "Leave it to us."
Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Wang Ze’s gang was also making a raft, and they’ve already completed part of it. It’s on the roof of Unit Six. You should work on that one first."
"That raft is a bit smaller, so it should be quicker to complete. Once it’s ready, I’ll use it to explore the nearby area."
They were delighted and immediately agreed, planning to check the raft on the roof of Unit Six after dinner.
Then Liang Yuan said, "The last thing is to arrange a few trusted people to form six patrol teams to ensure the safety of each unit."
"Do you have any candidates in mind?"
Ding Yan raised her hand, "I can be responsible for one unit."
Liang Yuan nodded, "Alright, you’ll be in charge of our families’ safety. I plan to have you stay in Unit One as the patrol captain. You can pick two people to help you."
Ding Yan asked, puzzled, "I’ll be in charge of Unit One? What about Zhao Kai?"
Zhao Kai was originally responsible for the entrance of Unit One, and since he had awakened a Mutant Ability, it would make sense for him to handle Unit One’s safety.
So Ding Yan was confused.
Liang Yuan smiled, "Zhao Kai’s ability is special and very useful in the rain. I plan to take him with me to gather supplies."
Everyone was stunned, and then they recalled the scene of Zhao Kai freezing water into ice. Their eyes lit up.
"Xiaozhao, can you freeze floodwater outside?"
"Zhao Kai, how large an area can you freeze? How thick can the ice layer be? Can people stand on it?"
Everyone was smart and immediately asked questions.
Zhao Kai quickly said, "I can only freeze a thickness of one to two meters that can hold people. If it’s a larger area, the ice layer tends to crack."
Old Ma said, "One to two meters, that’s a bit small, only enough for two people."
Ding Yan frowned slightly. She naturally wanted to go out with Liang Yuan to gather supplies.
